THE DEMOCRATIC ORGAN oF SUSSEX FOR GREELEY.
[From the Ge jrgetown Journal
No-If Greeley is to be slaughtered, let the
Convention nominate a democrat and take the
consequences. The Democ-
racy is cursed with few old, fossilzed, worm
eaten, self-oonshtuted leaders, who hate light
and love darkness, who never forget anything
aud never learn anything, and whose stock in
trade is self-adyancement. They
cry principle, yet they never had any. The
brave men who sealed devotion to democratic
principles vita their blood the men who stood
by them amid the storms Of revolution. IN
prison, in loss of property and liberty, to-day,
proclaim in favor OF re- union, compromise, ret
toration and defeat Of Grant. while tue political
prostitutes OF the democratic party, who skulked
before that storm, are casting lots for the grave
clothes OF the nations liberties.

THE NEW TOBACCO Tx.
A Serious Misunderstanding OF the
Provisions of the Law.

WASHINGTON, June II.
The tobacco manufacturers who have been
storing large quantities of tobacco In bonded
warehouses since the 9Th Of June, the day
when the new revenue law was signed by the
President, are astonished at the recent decls-
ion of Commissioners Douglass that tobacco
put In bond since that date and Withdrawn Tor
consumption must pay the present tax OF
thirty-tWo cents per pound. The commits
sionsr .ys that the working of the law is to
that effect. and that only the tobacco In bond
on that day Is entitled to be Withdrawn after
July lst at the new rate OF twenty cents per
pound.
kilograms and letters in large numbers were
yeslerday received from merchants In New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond,
asSiug If there was not some mistake. Mr..
Douglass replied that he had no discretion 10
the matter, and that the parties aggrieVeo
must appeal to Congress for relief.
A number of tobacco dealers are under the
impression that alter July lst they Will be en-
titled to have the difference between the old
tax of thirty.two cents and the new tax OF
twenty cents on all tobacco In their possession
returned 10 them, but Commissioner Douglass
is preparing letter to the effect that such ap.
plicatlons are useless, as no such provision is
made In the new law.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. ~
Let us have 1t, and In profusion; the ob)ec.
ton to the tapping of the upper Edisto by the
few rice planters, at lts outlet, notwlthstand-
ing.
The tapping of the Edisto, at The point pro-
posed, will not ruin their lands.
It may (or may poL) have the effect of rem
deriug them less available for rice culture, but
It will enhance their availability for the culture
eff the finest cottons, ior sugar-cans, and TOR
PROVISIONS of all kinds.
Moreover, there are thousands OF acres OF
rich swamps and bottoms, upon that noble
river, around and above "Willtown," that are
now 60 liable to overflow as to be unfit for any
agricultural purposes. These areas will be
enhanced an hundred.fold In value by the pro-
posed depletion of the upper Edisto.
While, therefore, the region near the ocean
NAV be rendered less safe for the culture OF
rice, Ia culture most certainly on the wane In
Carolina, that very region will obtain greater
facilities for the cultivation OF all other cereals
and of the great staple of the country. The
vast ssPon Pom Lands" will be made 10 ploom
and blossom. Where the swampy prairie now
only can be seen, corn.feds Will laugh and
o,no. the healthlness of the whole region will
he vastly improved, and the State, or body
nol,tic. will be large gamer by the adoption
of the proposed measure-a measure OF Vital
importance to the metropolis of our beloved
state HrLo-CHARLEsToN.

An increase in the cotton area is reported In

Planting was generally retarded by q protract-

obtaining perfect stands, but the recent
rains and renewed efforts IN replanung
have finally, secured stands of average

comparison-is as follows: North Carolina,
sixteen; South Carolina, nine; Georgia, twelvei
florlda, ten; Alabama, eleven; Mississippi,
ten; Louisiana, eleven; Texas, eighteen; Ar
kansas, sixteen; Tennessee, twelve. The
average Increase throughout the cotton States
Twill aproximate thirteen per cent. Texas has
naturally made the largest relative increase,
not only In having enjoyed favorable season
tor planting, but also during the last year ,hav-
ing received accessions of emigrents who are
cotton planters. The condition of the plant
throughout the cotton section is very nearly q
full average. Separating the Atlantic from
the more Western States, the former
stand q little below the average; the
condition. The drought which, prevailed in:
April and the first half of May delayed growth,
and cold nights in the more northern belt had
q further retardIng effect, bpt the abundant
rains and genial Temperature which followed
have wonderfully invigorated and advanced
the crop. The following figures represent the
condition of cotton. In the several States, one

POETS lind WOMEN.
Their Mission and Their Privilege.
[By oliver Wendell Holmes.l


A woman, Notwithstanding she Is the best
Of listeners, knows her business, aud 1t is her
business 10 please. don't say that 1t is not
her business to vote, but do say that the
woman who does not pleasaSs false note In
The harmonIes of nature. She may not have
youth or beauty, or even manner; but she
must have something In her voice or express
sion, or both, which 1t makes you feel better
disposed towards your race TO look at or listen
10. She knows that as well as we do; and her
first question alter you have been talking your
soul Into her consciousness is, Did l please !?
woman never forgets her SEX She wond
rather talk With man than an angel, any
day.
I The less there Is of sex about woman, the
more she Is to be dreaded. But take real
woman at her best moments, well dressed
enough to be pleased with herself, not 30
resplendent as to be show and sensation,
with the varied outside influences that set
vibrating the harmonic notes OF her nature
stirring In the air about her--aDd what has
social lille TO compare with one of those vital
interchanges of thought and feeling with her
that make an hour memorable? What can
equal her tact, her delivery, her subtlety OF
apprehension, her quickness to feel the
changes of temperature as the warm and cool
currents of talk blow by turns? At one mo-
ment she is microscopiaally intellectual, crltl-
cal, scrupulouB In Judgment as an analysts
balance, and the next as sympathetic as the
open rose that sweetens the mind from what
ever quarter it finds its way 10 her bosom.
That poets are treated as privileged persons
nv their admirers and the educated public can
hardly be disputed. That they consider them
selves 30 there Is no doubt Whatever. On the
whole, do not know 80 easy way OF shirk-
ing all the civil and social AMI domestic duties
as 10 settle IL in ones mind that one is poet.
The number OF these persons Is 80 great that
diooes against everyday dures aud ,IaD0rs,. tt
would be q serious loss to the productive In
duslry of the country. Ny skirts are clear 80
far as Others are concerned OF counteDancing
that form OF intellectual oplnm.eating In which
rh1me takes the place OF the narcotic.
D little fool that has published little DooK
full of little poems or other sputter1ng TOKENS
of any uneasy condition, how love you Tor
the one soft nerve Of special sensiblllty that
runs through your exiguous organism, and
the one phosphorescent particle In your un-
Illuminated Intelligence. But II you don't
leave your spun-sugar confectionery business
once ip a while, and come out among lusty
men-the bristly, pachydermatous fellows that
hew out the highways for the materla! pro.
greys OF society, and The broad-shouldered,
out.of.dOor men that fight ior the great prizes
of llfe-you will come to think that the spun
sugar business the chief end OF man, ana
begin to feel and look as II you felt as much
above common people as that parsonage OF
whom Tourgueneff says that 'he had the ar
of his own statue erected by natural sub.
scriptiOn."
