New York and Oregon are regarded

contrary: Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana

State officials in their own interests.
Tho CourierJoursal thus sums up
the result. We consider, that Texas
will be added to our column Indiana
VIC also conclude will be ours If VIC
retain Nevada and New Hampshire
our vote figures up l46. We are still
I3 votes short of an election oven with
those figures. If we can add New
Jersey and Connecticut we would cx-
actly elect. New Jersey and Califor'
mia, or Connecticut and California,
mould not elect. If Pennsylvania drops
into our line with her 26 votes it Sc.
cures it, even if we should lose Indi'
ana and two or three of the smaller
States. Without Pennsylvania we
have to carry every other doubtful
State but one, and retain those that are
put down as secure to elect our nomi-
nee. 1t then looks as if the pivot of
the next Presidential election must be
Pennsylvania. The keystone State
has exhibited remarkable sagacity du-
ring the last forty years, having In
varia6ly cast her vote for the President
elect. Tho man ,oho receives her vote in
1872 will again be the elected Presi-
dent. These are facts worthy Of con-
sideration. ..

ABBEVILLE FAIR.

We would give notice to our
friends that the Executive Com
mittee of our Agricultural Society
are making due preparation for the
approaching Fair, on the 25th, 26th
and 9th Of October next, and will
spare no pains to make tia success,
alike creditable and satisfactory to
all. The track is being widened,
leveled and otherwise improved; !;
a neat secretary's Office is going
up; and other improvements are
in progress. Our friends who have
fine stock are invited to come and
try the speed of their favorltes, in
anticipation. of the eventful day,
and all-farmers, mechanics and
housewives-are urged to enter the
lists of competition. A large aud
varied premium list has been pre-
pared, committees have been ap-
pointed and nothing will be want
ing to- stimulate competition and to
reward it. We expect our whole
District to turn out, and, as usual,
give interest and eclat to the occa-
sion. The weather will be fine,
the roads will be good, and Able
Vile, apart from the Fair, will re-
pay a visit. Our merchants will
then have full winter stocks and
will be pleased to welcome their
friends. Come one. come all, and
let US have a rousing exhibition.
The Greenville and Columbia
Railroad will repay freight charged
upon all articles returned home af-
ter exhibition-wlich is equivalent
to free transportation. ....

TIE UNITED STATES SENATE
On March 4th, 1873, tweuty-four
seats in the United States Seuate
will become vacant by the expira-
ton of the terms of Office. Of the
twenty-four Senators whose terms
will expire at the date mentioned,
three-Garrett Davis, Of Kentucky,
George Viclsers, of Maryland, and
Francis P. Blair, Jr., of Missouri
are Democrats; the remaining
twenty-one are Republicans. The
latter comprise some of the leading
and most experienced members OF
the Senate, such as Lyman Trum-
bull, of Illinois, Oliver p. Morton,
of Indiana, James Harlan, of Iowa,
Roscoe Conkling, Of New York,
John Sherman Of Ohio, Simon
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and
Justin D.. Morrill,, of Vermont;
Although the date when the seats
of these Senators will become le-
gally vacant may appear a long
way off, yet this fall nine of the
States represented by some OF
them will elect Legislatures, by
whom the next Senators will be
chosen. A year hence Legisla-
tnres will be elected to choose the
remainder of the Senators.

The Growing Cotton Crop.

The reports of the Agricultural Bu-
reau, fix the maximm yield OF the
growing crop: at three, aud one-third
millions of bales, whilst a short and
unfavorable growing season would re-
duce it to three millions, A Georgia
Contemporary, the Columbus San, in
view of the late favorable seasons,
fixes the estimate lowcr-at 100000
bales, and urges upon both planters
and Merchants to protect themselves
against the "Cotton ring" of New
York, who are growing rich upon
Southern losses. The San asks
What is the duty of the .planters?
1t is plain. Such as are in debt for
supplies or advances should bring for
ward their cotton and make tho best
arrangement possible with their crcd-
itors, even to selling, if necessary.
In this emergency, the merchant has
duty to perform also, in extending
all the leniency in his power when a
cotton collateral has been placed in
his hands by the planter debtor.
These two classes are mutually de-
pendent on each other. The. mer-
chant, if agriculture is cramped and
fleeccd, cannot prosper. If what we
have stated as the probable yield Of
the crop be true; and we believe we
are CO rrect, then every pound Of cot
ton made is worth thirty cents. Less
than twenty-five cents will not remu-
nerate the planter for tho making Of
the present short crop. The proper
effort at accoms bdation between the
Indebted planter and his merchant,
with a disposition on the part of the
unemGarrassed planter to hold for
twenty-five cents, will soon march
prices in the interior markets up to
that figure, and save millions of dol
lars to be expended at homo, which
with different policy, will 60 into
the pockets of tho manufacturers and
SPECTATORS of New York and Liver
pool. .-
