PARTY NAMES.

The popular mind may, after
a while, give definite Specification
to party names. 1t has been bam-
boozled enough, in other countries
and in this, by calling bad things
by good names, and is becoming
sensitive and somewhat discriminat-
ing upon the subject. 1t does not
now clearly see that man belong
ing to the Republican party is there
fore a republican it rather sus-
poets him Of being a moRarchiSt.-
Norris it absolutely clear that the
word democrat is a whit less vita
ted. 1t certainly embraces a great
variety of political characters
The last effort to make political
names more definite and to separate
the sheep from the goats, is to call
the new organization now in pro-
cess of formation "lhe democratic
republican party" This implies
popular government under a consti-
tutional republic and presents, of it.

AGRICULTURAL.

We have sometimes to 90 back a
little in this fast moving age to note
important matters overlooked at the
time of their occurrence. On the
10th of February last the first Ma
tional Agricultural Convention was
held at Washington through the in
vitation Of the Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture. Most of the States were
represented. We subjoin the most
material portion of the proceedings
remarking that the distribution OF
the public lands for the promotion OF
agricultural education, formed. as it
should, the most prominent subject
Of discussion. We quote from the
Monthly Report of the Departm ent
Of Agriculture
"The business committee, consist
ing Of one from each State repre-
scented, made a preliminary report.
recommending four topics for con-
sideration, viz: l.. The expediency
Of seeking further Immigrants from
Congress in aid of industrial educa-
ton; >. The expediency of estab-
fishing experimental farms and sta
tons; 3. The propriety of modify
ing the military instruction given in
the national colleges of agriculture
and mechanic arts +; t. The best
methods of cooperating with one
another and the Department of Ag-
rIculture.
A paper was presented by the
Commissioner, suggesting action for
the convention. az follows:
The act of July ?, 1862, is an
earnest expression of Congress that
a scientific education is essential for

RINGS AGAIN.

Our attention has been called to
this subject again by finding in the
Middle Georgian a two column ar
ticle descriptive of political "rings'
their modes of forma-
ton and operation and the absolute
subiugation of the people to those
who control them--al of which the
Georgian says Gifts this country cx-
actly," and, yet, the Georgian and
Savannah Ne,cS took US to task for
simply asking whether the people
had most to gain by being subordi-
mated to these rings or if left free to
vote for whom they pleased. The
truth is the people are either capa-
bic of self-government, or, they are
not. If they are they will put good
men in office. If they are not they
should be and will be governed by
rings or something more despotic.

SOUTH AND NORTH CAROLINA

Military arrests continue to go on
extensively in South Carolina. De-
casionally negro is arrested as a
Kuklux, but the majority Of arrests
are white men and sometimes Of very
prominent citizens. The effect of
these disorders has been to suspend
in great measure the prosecution
Of all industrial enterprises-to low
or largely the value of property and
to excite the disposition to migrate
from the State. What the end is to
be is hard TO conjecture but it looks
as if the State may ultimately be-
come the property Of the wards of
the nation, North Carolina is not
much better off, but, the disorgan-
izers-the Ku Klux of this State are
all negroes, who in some counties
control matters in their own barbar-
Gus way and exercise liscencious-
ness not tolerated in the other State.

we hope that a better kept digest viii appear
in the future
On an examination Of the amount Of the tax
able property Of Cobb county for the year 1871
we find il to be 2,327, 400 dollars, and the tax
arising from this, amounts to 9,175 dollars
The Tax Collector has proper vouchers fi0m
Treasurer for 1926 dollars, and from the Tax
Receiver for 205 dollars aud % cents for bis
commissions which leaves about 1000 dollars

has been lately called for, and from which is
10 be deducted the commission Of the Collector
rs well az bis iusovent list
We notice, and with a little surprise, that
the assessed taxable property Of the county for
the year ISL is much less than the previous
year and whether or not il il from the deprp-
citation Of property in our county or from too
careless way in which Tax Receivers receive
returns we are at loss to say, but i've are in
hopes that it Is not from depreciation as we
know that much Improvement have been made
through the county, and we think that lax
Receivers ought in future to more carefully ex-
anime into these returns.
We are pleased however to notice, that
though the taxable property Of the county ir
| less, the public finances Of the county are in q
healthy condition, which speaks admirably for
! those having charge OF them, and which healthy
| condition should induce capitalists and others
/ 10 invest in the bonds Of the county now offered
! by our Ordinary for the purpose Of building a
| Court House. The Treasurer had on hand,
