Cotton and Corn.

One of the most lamentable features o.
our material condition is the. dependence
of the South upon, other sections for the
necessaries of llte-upon the West for our
grain and pork. and upon the North fo!T
almost every implement Of manufacturing
industry. This all grows out OF the sui
cidal policy of negiecting everything else
in our devotion to the culture OF the great
staple. Cotton indeed should be king,
but we do our best to dethrone him when
we neglect to raise our Own. necessary sup
plies, and thus pay tribute.to other sec
lions ont of our own hard earnings. We
must diversity our industry, and manu-
facture everything, cotton included, at
home. But to do this We must raise our
own provisions, and not subject ourselves
to the double sisk OF. famine from the
failure Of our own and the foreign crop.
Independence is the lesson that we have
vet to learn, and when once independent.
we will be able to turn to some account
the priceless boon which is conferred upon
us in the possession Of the great staple;
By giving diversity to our industry, and
limiting the cotton culture without d.
minishing our resources, we. devote our
whole income to the encouragement OF
home enterprises, and the development OF
home industry.-Abbevlle Press Il Ban

AsFINwALL VIA HAVANA, April 10.
The City of San Salvador, the capital
Of the Central American Republic Of that
name, has been oveIthrown by an earth
quake. The loss of life was terrible. Eight
hundred persons have perished, and prop

Hundreds Of houses were burned down,
and the panic-stricken inhabitants knew
not where to fee for safety.
San Salvador was founded in 1923 by
Spanish emigrants, and has, at differeilt
periods, greatly suffered by earthquakes,
especially in the years 1854 The popu-
lation is about $4,000. There were seve-
raj churches and converts in the town,
which is situated on small stream which
flows into the Pacific Ocean 1850 miles

forsaking his Headquarters at Columbia,
leaving the capital, with all its pleasant

Resieuation cf the Mormon Prophet:

Resignation cf the Mormon Prophet:
Brigham Young, at the age Of seventy
two, and after twenty-nine years active
service SIS President and Prophet OF the
Mormons, has resigned his position to
make room for younger and more act
i've man-one who may condue5 the faith
full through the WILDERNESS of this world,
and protect them from the assaults and
wiles of generation Of Gentiles. This
.abdication of despotic power over the
spiritual and temporal affairs of the Nor
mons, by Brigham Young, awakens a
lively interest throughout the length and
breadth of the Western world. And nat
urally; for Mormonism, s.3ringing.upl IN
thefull blaze of the nineteenth century,
is certainly the greatest phenomenon OF
modern civilization. }, VINO can longer
wonder at the spread. of Maholnetanism
in Arabia in the seventh century when
Mormonism has had such success in
ameriel in the. nineteenth? i. &.
We detest Mofmonism, and have ever
it a shame and repreach to
America, but still, when one considers
the matter, these. people, despite their
wives apd shoals of children,
cannot be called vulgar and licentious.
Mormon polygamy has been attended by
industry, thrift, social order, religious
public zeal, intense local pa
triotisn, and an active interest in things
quite out of the line Of sensual indul-
sencc. IN saying this, We but give the
devil his due.
And now Brigham Yonngresigns-and
what does it all mean! Simply that
is to be again moved to q
region where it will be inaccessible to
Gentle eyes, Gentle fashion, Gentle
In ls46 it was moved from
Illinois, and now in 1878 itis to be moved
into the distant wilds of Arizona. Brig
ham Young, despite his'resignation, has
Ilready gone thither ea q tour of inspec-
ion. And thither will MoYponism fol-
Ow him.
And so much the better. If. Mormon
sm cannot be rooted out, letit, at least;
be hidden far away.

4 largo and respectable meeting OF the
Republican party was held. at Richatd-
sonville on Saturday last,
The Meeting was called to order by
Mr.. David Graham. On motion of Mr..
Jesse Jones, Capt. Wallace Morgan took
the Chair, and briefly explained the OBJ.
ject Of the Meeting. by saying that oppo-
sftion to John n. McDevitt, and the gen
.eral desire to remove him from the office
Of County Treasurer, had prompted! the
califro large rumber Of the party.
Mr.. David Graham rose, and entered
more at length upon the object, and the
duty of the Meeting. Heboldly charged
John q. McDevitt with unfituess for the
Office. and dishonesty. Thathe, asChair-
man of the Board of Managers of Blec-'
ton, had received sixteen hundred dol
lars which he e'riever paid over. At this
point, McDevitt got up and said that he
had receipts in his pocket showing that
he had made payment. The Meeting.
shouted, "show your receipts" ,butMac
could poi. find them. Mr., Graham pro-.
,ceeded to expose the character of John
H. McDevitt, and among the charges
made by him, said that McDevitt had Of
fered to give him 800, and said he would
cash al Checks that he might have, ifhe
would use hfs influence to get him. The
appointment of County Treasurer. Mr..
Graham dared John Fl. McDevitt to deny
the charges, and closed with calling on
Senator Cain to defend hisfriend McDev-:
itt.. The Senator found the task probably
very hard work, tor he threw the burden
on the County Treasurer himself, and
proceeded to discuss matters foreign to
the object of the meeting.
Mr.. Jesse Jones rose, and exposed the
inconsistent remarks Of the Senator, and
urged that the success OF the Republican
party in the future, depended upon the
integrity of the officials appointed to fill
the offices of the county.
John II. McDevitt was called upon to
defend himself, but failedto satisfy the
Meeting that ne was worthy Of the office
Of County Treasurer.
Mr.. Graham called for the vote Upon
the question whether John II. McDevitt
ought to retain the Office of County Treas
urer any longer. The whole Meeting.
voted No, with the exception of Messrs.
Lawrence Cain, Cary Harris, David Har-
ris, and John F. McDevitt.
The Meeting theil appointed Messrs.
David Graham, D. 7. Turner, Jesse Jones,
William simkins, Lark Glover, Henry
Smith and Isham Railord to proceed to
Columbia and request the Governor to
renioye John II. McDevitt from the Of
flee of County YreasrrEr:
