THE NORTH AND SOUTH.

The Courier AMI NeIrs are dispatln@
over the statement that the result Of the
Presidential election shows a hatred OF
the South in the North. Now, the iaeS
Is. that there is very little of such feel
ing in the North. What the Courier
takes for hate. is distrust. The people
of the North do not believe that Southern
men have done anything more than given
up when powerless to continue the light
They believe that there is no national
feeling in the South, and that Il is not
vet time to admit the South and Its
friends to a controlling share in the fed
cral government.
Nothing has kept alive this feeling 50
much as the senSelesS ku kiux outbreaks
in this and other States. The brutal
towards who raided upon poor, defense
less negroes, and the equally desplea5ic
COW .rds who refraincd from condemnng
the outrages are to blame for three
fourths of the diStrust of which the
Southern press complains.
Instead of finding hate in the North,
Southerncr may travel over the whole
land, and never be treated differently on
account of his birthplace, In fact, the
Northern people don't care where he
comes from. There is absolutely almost
none of that provincial feeling in the
North. Few men of sense there pride
themselves on having been born on one
side or another of river or line. In
the South, however, men actually count
I'D such accidents as something of value
they have little or no national feeling
it is all State pride.
The fault of the North inits treatment
of the South seems to US to be, an Iii
difference 10 it. This is the result of a
reaction. Before the war the South was
omnipotent in national councils. Then IL
ruled public opinion politically, and even
socially. But the apathy Of It's citizens
after the war; the ease with which they
allowed themselves to fall q prey TO their
former chattles and few adventures,
has begotten il the North feeling OF
contempt. No man who has seen
Northern audience, composed of even
Democrats and Liberals, listening to a
speaker detailing the wrongs and trials
OF the Southern States, can have failed
to note the lack of real sympathy elected.
The South, therefore, had better give
mp looking ior cxtraneous aid. She must
cxtricate herself. Quit sitting at horne,
thanking God tha; You were born be-
tween the Pcdee and the Savannah,
grumbling over the present and sighlng
for the past. No one cares for self
made martyr.

OER CROPS.

The low price of sea island cotton In
a depressing influence on business. We
have seen samples of the Peruvian cot
ton which, with the FIJI island crop,
comes into competition with ours, and re-
Juices the price. The Peruvian staple Is
long and fine, better in both respects
than the average Of our cotton. 1t sells
in England at forty-eight cents. Some
;s.ert that though fine and long 1t Is not
50 strong a fibre as ours. Whether this
is so or not, it is evidently a formidable
rival, and one that will exercise per-
,ranet influence upon our product. 1t
behooyes onr llal.ters to beware of too
great a confidence in the paramount
qualities of sea island, and prepare for
the necessity of making it cheaper.
Eyery effort will be necessary, IN the
direction OF better seed and greater care
in preparation for market. If there are
leaks in the management of plantations
they must be stopped, and tic greatest
economy of production secured. In this
way alone will it lie profitable to plan:
cotton on these i.land>,
The rice crop of the county. raised
principally in Yemassce township, has
been very large. The price, too, has
been satisfactory; SO that the planters
have been remuneratei. But here, too,
we are threatened with a misfortune.
The effort to remove the tariff on foreign
rice will doubtless be renewed, and if 1t
should be successful 4 great blow will be
inflicted on his section. Oar members
O" Congress must be awake to thl,
danger AMI prevent it If possible.
