active, and the feeling was better; holders
asking an advance OF 4 to nc, and real
iZing q fraction better prices. The de-

THE COTTON L

1-@S.H
Cotton is the basis Of our trade and
commerce. 1t must ever, therefore, Occu-
py the first place in our estimate Of the
future. We believe in its pre-eminence,
sne for that reason regard a survey of the
cotton field as essential to an understand
in Of the prospect. So far it promises
well, If price is TO be preferred to guam
tity. We are convinced the yield
viii not be anything like what two
months or four weeks ago was promised.
The evils that then were reported
as having environed the crop have
not been mastered, and where IL
has not been destroyed or abandoned
it is yet in the grass, or is
beset by the caterpillar or worm. Intelli-
aud labor have alike been exerted
to pre g the mischief that has resulted
from these pests, but without any sufh-
clent result. The conclusions thus en-
forced are slowly making their way to the
understanding Of our English friends,
and they are now inclined to believe that
the expectations Of q material increase IN
the yield of our growing crop Q that Of
last year, 50 freely INDUCED in the North,
are not likely to be realized. They argue
that it is seldom that the South has been
blessed with so favorable q season as that
Of last year, and on no occasion has q
second such season Immediately followed
the other. The authority specially al
luded to arranges the figures Of the Amer
Jean crop from 1889 to 1861, to show that

The Township Law.

The curious protest Of Senator'S Corbin
and Jillson against the passage Of the bill
repeating the township law, is printed this
morning Passing over questions OF consti-
tutionality, which have nothing to do with
Radical legislation, there is no novelty in the
declamatory statement of the protestants.
We have heard before, in other things than
township laws, that it is sound policy to
throw good money after bad, but we are not
converted. The township system may, We
admit work well in States which have u
dense population, but what has that to do
with South Carolina? That the New York
code can be copied over and adopted as the
code of this State, at cost of over $4,000,
is no reason why the township law should he
adopted in the same manner. The township
business would have cost the State million
of dollars already, which will now be saved,
and if there be any deficiencies in the county
law, if the counties require new legislation
in consequence OF the repeal OF the township
law, we have legislators enough in Columbia
to do the job quickly, and, we hope cheaply!

Land Tor .I,c Landlcss.

The Legislature now proposes to appropri-
ate one million dollars making twelve hum
dred thousand dollars in all,) for the pur-
chase OF lands to be sold on credit to the
landless.
1t is claimed that the State will be well Sc
cured, because it will in all cases receive as
much money for interest as it pays out for
interest on the money which it borrows, as
we'll as because it will have first lien until
the lands are paid for. In the face OF the
facts that have come to light about the oper-
ations OF the land commission up to this
time, it can hardly be proved that the land
bought by the State can always be resold at
the cost price. And an addition OF one mil
lion dollars to the State debt, however it
may be glazened over, will unQuestionably
affect injuriously the financial credit which
the Radicals profess to be so eager to main-
tain.
Nor can we see that the appropriation is
necessary for the colored people. They who
have little money or a little credit, can
buy land now cf private persons, whether
they be white or black. The land commits
sion, ii honestly administered, will benefit
the speculator or the thriftless negro, and
will in no wsy improve the position OF the
industrious poor. And there is no end to
the help demanded by those who cannot
help themselves, as there is no satiating the
pecuniary appetite Of the greedy Radical ad-
venturer.
The colored people, if they know what is
best for them, will not desire the squander-
ing of another million dollars.

A Living Curiosity.

The petition of the Mayor and Aldermen
Of Charleston, in regard to the flour inspect
orship is as great curiosity in its way as
the Leopard Boy, the Pet Snake, the Fat
Girl, or any other of the prodigies on exhi-
bition at the Market Hall. We all know the
facts of the case. A flour inspector, Mr. C.
N. Averill, was duly elected. When the
Pillsbury Council came in, they declared all
the city offices vacant, and proceeded to an
election. A Mr.. Caulield was elected flour
inspector, but Mr.. Averill declined to vacate
his Office. Next came mock trial, and the
conviction and dismissal Of Mr.. Averill.
Even this was not enough to make the wrong
the right. An appeal was had to the courts,
and the Supreme Court decided in favor Of
Mr.. Averill. Now, the Mayor and Alderman
petition the Legislature to abolish tile office
of flour Inspector, so that "they may elect
ga proper person." and in order "to stay
'the courts from their ertra Judicial inter-
"ferencc" with the rights of the petitioners.

Cheap Tc1csraphy.

Within the last year or two the press OF
the United States have had a good deal to
say on the subject of placing the telegraph
lines of the country under the control OF the
government, upon the same plan as that re-
Gently adopted in England. The discussion
mas been constant and active; but 1t is ap-
parent that while all admit the necessity Of
cheapening the cost OF tclegraphins, there
is wholesome dread of adding to the i'm
mensc powers already enjoyed by the body
of dictators who style themselves the Con-
gress OF the nation.
The magnetic wires are now as important
as the mails Only the details of important
transactions are forwarded through the post
Office The business itself, domestic and
foreign, is effected by telegraph, or is con-
trolled by telegraphic adyices, and if the
rates were lower commercial writing would
soon be unnecessary. 1t is to the interest Of
every merchant, OF every business man, to
have the rates low; but the bureau must be
absolutely free from espioaage or govern
ment interference.
In England and in almost every country Of
Europe, the charges for the transmission o.!
messages by telegraph are much lower than
in the United States. A Northern paper is
assured that in Great Britain dispatch Of
twenty words can be sent at uniform rate
of one shilling oil over the country-a dis
tance of over 700 miles; the same dispatch
can be sent from one end of France to an
other for one franc; all over Belgium and
Switzerland for half franc, or ten cents;
Denmark, twelve and half cents; Prussia,
from twelve and q half cents to thirty-seven
cents; Sweden and Norway, any distance for
thirty cents for message OF twenty words,
and one cent for each additional word; from
Marseilles to the north OF Scotland, dis
tance of l400 miles, traversing two king
doms and crossing the Straits OF Dover by
submarine cable. for iifty-Gve cents.
These rates seem very low to an Amer:-
can, in spite OF the fact that the chairman
of the Committee OH Postotilces declares that
telegraphing IN this country is the cheapest
in the world In referring to that declara-
ton, Mr.. Washburne said, in a recent speech
in the House:
''Yet he could not have failed to know that,
if he desired to send q dispatch of twenty
words to his home ir Illinois. and was not fa-

yored with a 3D. H. (dead head) pass, he
would have to pay So for a similar message;
to- the home Of the Missouri member of that
committee 81 would be charged; the Michigan
member, 50 go; the New Jersey member, 81 %;
the Massachusetts member, 81 Is; the Indiana
member, 81 so; the Kentucky member. $? So:
the Nevada member, So 2S, and the Oregon
member sl5 CO. or S. 70 more than it would
cost 10 send message of ten words from
Washington 10 Constantnople by the Atlantic
cable and continental lines"
1t will be seen from these figures that, SO
far from being the cheapest in the world,
tclegraphing in this country is the most eX-
pensive in the world. The rates of charges
now paid should certainly be reduced. Such
reduction would be blessing to the pub
lie at large, and would entail no loss on the
telegraph companies, as their business would
be increased sufficiently to prevent it. But
the result should not be obtained through
the Intervention Of government, which has
enough to do with our private affairs already,
but through a wholesome competition on the
part of numerous rival lines.
Competition will bring down the rates,
and insure more celebrity in transmitting and
delivering messages. An instance is within
our knowledge, where an opposition line
was established between two cities and the
rates reduced about two-lhirdS and yet the
gross receipts OF the new company, at the
reduced price, are as great as the receipts
fof the old company, at the high rates, with
no competition. Assuming that the gross
receipts of the old company have not dimin-
ished, the reduced rates have caused the
business to increase six-fold. AS the price
falls, the demand must and will increase.
The experience of the cable proved this, if
it was thought that telegraph companies are
exempt from the operations OF general law.
At present tile telegraph system OF the South
is monopoly. What we want is not gov
ernment interference, but open and active
competition.
