Tho ruling sentiment of future re-
veLgo against the Prussians is 50
strong in France that tho French
Government is engaged in collecting
its little account against Germany, to
be presented to that Power when
France shall be successful in tho war
with her. This account, which will
be published in volume called I.o
Memorial de Ia Revauche," will con-
tain statistics Of the cost Of tho Ger
man invasion, in which will be noted
every franc Of loss sustained by
France from whatever cause. "Wo
know" suys French journal, "that
our honor is flowing out with our
blood by these two gaping wounds
Alsacc aud Lorraine. We feel that
France cannot live with that irighltul
mutilation; we know that France
must one day perish, or close. that
wound by filling it with legions of
Prussian corpses." Had tho scnu-
mcnt which speaks. in these brave
words prevailed when it might have
been timely, the probability is that

South Carolina.

Undcr this, head, tho Now York
Journal Of Commerce says: .
"Spain publishes decree Of am
ncsty. 1t applies 70 all political Often
ces. The preamble of the document
rccites That the Spanish Government
is well aware Of the powcrlessncss OF
its adversarics. and Of its own ability
to suppress all rcvolts. And Spain
does this before the throes Of rcvolu-
ton have entirely subsidized, while
Carlists and Republicans arc known
to be actively plotting to overthrow
the Government, and assassins arc
lying in ambush to shoot the King.
At the same time that Spain is acting
thus sagaciously and magnanimously,
reports reach us from Washington
that martial law is about TO be pro
claimed in certain Counties Of South
Carolina. Senator Scott, from Penn
sylyania, Chairman Of the Congress
sional Ku KuX Committee, has de-
clared such o measure necessary, and
asked the President to authorize it,
and this, it is said, the President will
do. If q state Of lawlcssncss prevail

Federal arm, such O, course might be

any such present condition of things
is now. before the country. Senator
SCOTS committee have turned up
many instances of Ku Kluxism per-
petratcd by white and black outlaws
in South Carolina; but those VIC sup
posed were matters Of the past
Nothing seems to be going on now in
that. State which demands tho inter
vention OF tho Presidents bayonets
and surely Senator Scott does not
have the cffrontery to ask that South
Carolina shall be punished this fall for
offences committed last January! un'
| less it can bc shown that the South
Carolina of today cannot be quoted
without applying the force bill, its
application will contrast most unrlea'
sanity with the moro generous treat
fment Of the political opposition prac
ticed by the Government Of Spain.

Suspension of the Republican.

! The publication of the Charleston
RppuJltcan was suspended on Friday.
We extract the following from its last
issue: @ -
ave are obliged to inform our rea-
dcrs that with to-day's issue we. sus-
pend the publication Of tho Duly Re-
publicam 1t IS unnecessary for US to
say with what regret we make this
announcement. The regret is 10 less
because for. some time We have antici-
pated the coming Of the period when
we would have to say these words to
the public. We would .gladly also
avoid saying anything of the causes
which make this suspension ncccssa-
ry, if we could do so consistently with
our duty to ourselves and to tho Re
publican party. In brief then, this
paper dies because the Republican
at Columbia wills its
death.
ut is no secret to any one who has
been inside Republican politics that
this paper has not been tavorite with
our administration during the past
year or more. One man says it is be-
cause we are too decent, another that
we arc not Radical enough, &C., &C.,
but the real secret Of the dislike is
that we have refused to be the mcdi-
UNI for gratifying the petty spite and
personal hatred Of individuals, or the
ready tool Of those who would use the
State Government for tho purpose
solely Of advancing their own pccu-
mary aud political interests. We
now tell our friends, both in the State
and outside of it, who, from time to
time, have spoken good words Of US,
and wished US long life, that for our
death Governor Scott and those who,
along with him, control the patronage
of the government, arc solely rcspon-
siblc. We have never asked favor
which we had not right to ask; in
decd, we have not asked favors at al,
but have simply insisted that tile gov
ernment in the distribution Of its
patronage should not forget that VIC
who had borne the heat and burden
Of the day, and who had never failed
in support of purely governmental
however much we may
have. .shrunk from supporting schemes
for the aggrandizcmcnt OF
individuals, were entitled to a full
share Of that patronage in virtuc of
our position as u journal representing
and advocating Republican principles
and measures.
1--WE do not speak to serve any per-
sonal ends today. TO our personal
interests, it can make but very little
difference whether the paper lives or
dies, but Republicans throughout the
State, TO whom this paper has come
to he a necessity, havc right to
know whether any injustice has been
lone it by those who occupy places Of
power and trust"

TIE LAST CorToN CRor.-Thc New
York Cotton Exchange and the Fl
nancial Chronicle Of that city prepare
statements Of the receipts at our do
mestic ports Of the cotton crop during
the period from September l, 1870, to

ing the quantity of cotton consumed
in the South during the year, thdt
which is known to havo been lost or
burned, and the shipments direct to
Northern mills. When these figures
arc added, says the writer, tho entire

THE WEATHER AND TIE Crops,

THE WEATHER AND TIE CRops..-
For the season of the year, it is very
dry. Complaints come to us from all
about the country that rain is much
needed. The nights and mornings
are quite cool, but in the middle OF
the day no decrease il the heat is
pcrcepliblo. Cotton is opening FAST
and so are tho thieves upon it. A
quantity of seed cotton has been al
ready sold in town, and we have
heard of ono gentleman who was
compelled, in selt-defence, to gather
his entire crop Of corn, which was
being rapidly stolen in the field
Cannot something be done to check
this neiarious traffic in seed cotton
1t seems to US that our merchants
should meet and devise somo method
whereby they can protect themselves
and the planters. The crimo will else
soon run rifc.-Camden Journal.
