THE CROP IN CECIL.

The wheat crop of this county is about
perior wheat, both as to quality and yield,
while others arc thin, but the quality of
the grain throughout is very superior.
Hay has been cut short by the almost I'M
precedent dry weather-and will not make
half a crop. Oats are thin and short, and
the dry weather will further injure the
crop by shriveling the grain, which is
likely to fall considerably below the stand
ard in weight. Potatoes are next thing to
a failure, and none but the very early
planted will pay for the labor of raising.
The fruit and berry crops are almost
an absolute failure. There are few
apples; no peaches. The strawberry crop
was cut short by the dry weather and hot
sun, and raspberries are sharing the same
fate. Currants did tolerably well. Black
berries will fail, if the severe drouth con,
tinues little longer. Corn which is the
most important of all the crops OF this
county, made good stand generally, and
is yet in a thrifty condition; and if we
have sufficient rain in the latter part Of
this month and August, there is every
prospect of a bounteous crop. Garden
stuff is almost an utter failure; and vege-
tables are scarce, indifferently good and
as necessary consequence, high priced
Those who have vines and have mulched
and attended them properly have pros
pect of fine yield of grapes. Take it all
in all, the crop prospect in this section of
country cannot be pronounced golden.

of production could be diminished sufi-
GENTLY, eight millions Of bales might be
marketed as easily as three and half or
four millions now produced. The desira-
bleness Of some such increase In the cotton
crop Is too patent for Illustration Ii would
give employment to larger population at
The South, both rural and urban. Il
would employ more ships, railroads
and factories. It would cheaper
clothing to every man, wo nan and child in
the country, open the way for the introduce
ton tf cotton into anumher of uses from
which It's price now excludes it, and in
short give S new impulse to every branch OF
the national industry and commerce. In
the era of practical craftsmanship which is
dawning upon the country, the question OF
better utilizing the vast ag icultural re-
sources of the South cannot fail to receive
the attention which its Importance demands.

state problem which can only be solved BY

| elements In the present cost OF cotton
| which are not altogether necessary and
which may proftsbly receive the attention

| are: 1. The lack of capital on the part OF
| planters who conduct their operations large

interest. This evil is perhaps irremediable
! at the present tina, but is evident that if
each planter confined bis operations to the

borrowed money would be saved. Il is to
| be hoped that this will be done only when

2. Imperfect economy Of labor. An exam

It is possible by the establishment OF steam
presses on or near the plantations to avoid
| the expense Of extra handling, hauling, and
COMPRISING in the seaports, If the nice
economy T Northern and Western farming
could be introduced into cotton-raising, an
enormous reduction would be realized In
the cost price of the staple. 3. The opera

GRANTS PURPOSE.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, (Grsnt Republican,,
wites under date of Oct. l:
"Fhe Attorney General has no official IT,
formation regarding the complications in
Mississippi, but anticipates repetition OF
the contest in Louisiana. While taking no
part in the controversy between the Ames
and AlcOrn parties, he feels assured that the
result must either be the establishment of
factions, each claiming to be The State gov
eminent, between which Congress and the
general government will be obliged to de-
eide, OF the continuance of The State gov.
ernment beyond the time for which it is
elected, and such continuance involves the
election of members of Congress and other
similar questions, upon which the govern
ment would finally be compelled to pass"
1t appears to be the purpose of the Grant
Republicans to precipitate such condition
# affairs in those Southern States, where
power is gradually slipping from them, as
viii give the President or Congress or both,
soma sort of an excuse for interfering in
the local affairs of State. 1t sppears to
be the purpose of Ames to claim election
10 the Governorship of Mi sissippt as Kel.
iogg did in Louisiana, and it is quite ev.-
dent that it is the purpose of the Grant Ad-
ministration TO sustain Ames as it did
Kellogg, 1t is thus that the waning for
tunes Of Republicanism as prscticed in the
South by GRAFT and bis henchmen are to
be held up. The will Of the people is to be
disregsrded and thwaTIed in Mississippi as
it was in Louisiana, aud not only United
States Courts, but United States bayonets
will be called into requisition if necessary.
These things can be done in the South
without provoking protest from the Repub-
leans CT the North, but when Grant sought
60 have Butler nominated for Governor of
Massachusetts, by using Federal officers and
Federal patronage to that end, a large por-
ton of the Republicans of thai State, with
The Boston Ad0ertiSer at their head, pro-
tested in the most earnest manner against
the President interfering in the local politics
Of State. These Northern Republicans
will 90 on winking at the tyranny Of the
Federal Government toward the Southern
States, striking down State government
bere and there, and the President assuming
powers which the Queen of England would
not dare TO exercise in her own kingdom,
until they will find the iron hand concealed
in velvet glove clutching their own Threats
with a ferceness and power they cannot
shake of. They bad better not shut their
eyes to Grants usurpations in the South.
They are curses which, like chickens, come
home to roost eventually.

HOPFEUL SIGNS,


From the beginning of recorded time
tyrants and despots have found It their in
terest to discourage political discussion
smong the masses, 10 stifle thought, and d.
vert the attention of the people from affairs
of government by various devices. Pdnem
ct circenSeS has been the despot's device
from the Roman Nero down to the last
French Napoleon. 1t is q common remark
that the Southern people pay
too much attention Is politics for
their own material interests. A
curious commentary on this view, is the
hundreds Of millions of State and local
A-L,- haro Urvu 5auulOd Sho oUuIn
by bad politics in the short period since the
war. Those who believe in the divine right
of kings may logically expect government
to run smoothly without human aid; but
government based on the people, can hardly
be expected to run properly if the people
pay it no attention. There is no
wisdom in depending on Providence,

correct. We must put our own shoulders
to The wheel, and we agree with the Cleve.
land Banner that one of the hopeful signs
of the times is the earnestness with which
the people are applying themselves to he
acquisition of political knowledge. The
principles Of political economy, once almost
entirely neglected by the masses, are being
studied with zeal that promises vslusblere-
suits. This newly awakened interest among
the people in governmental affairs will, no
doubt, lead to better selections Of represen-
iatives in the years to CINE, because the
people will be more familiar with the sub
iects which have hitherto been discussed
only in the coteries of college professors,
snd in the charmed circles of as.Ute politi-
cal aspirsnts.

HOW TO MASTER THE mUsQUITOEs

The LyDchbuTg (Na.) NeacS says: "Feo-
pie who reside in the upper sections of the
city complain at present of mosquitoes;
and some persons now avail themselves Of
bed nets in orier to keep the enemy at 8
respectful distance; but there is another and
less costly remedy which sets these insects
at defiance. By saturstiDg small piece of
cotton cloth with the Commonest whisky
or alcohol, and hanging it ovar the post Ct
the bed, our readers can rest in peace, for
mosquitoes cannot stand the fumes of in
toxicating fluids"
We give this for what it is worth, and we
believe it is worth trial We must con-
fess, however, that We have heard of poor
unfortunstes dead drunk on mean whisky,
who were badly bitten b. mosquitoes.

THE PRODUCTION AND CONSUME.
rEnN nR COTTON ----

The United States Economist, published
10 New York, estimates that the supply of
cotton for the year ending Aug. 81, 1874,
will exceed the worlds normal demand by
$4,000 bales, or 100000 pounds, esti-
mating each bale at 40 pounds, aud that
journal comes to the conclusion that Eve
must either diminish the product or seek
new markets for its consumption. This
statement is based upon an estimated crop
OF $500, 600 bales in this country, and an
increase of production in other countries Of
g. per cent. The probable crop of this
country Is based upon The following crops:
