PROMISED this year even greater and more

THE GREAT NECESSITY.

The ST Louis Daily olobe. paper which
we should IKE TO see in the hands OF every
.acher in the Wczr, in closing an article un'
der the atov, heading, says:
The deepes, and mightest necessity with
us sill Is popular education. With the much
larger political power in their hands, the mas
ses in this country need increased intelligence,
ter their future security about as much as the
people of France or England who have less
political power. The addition Of 80 many
millions of ex slaves TO the voting population
conlrorts us with the gravest possible prob
lem. II is an immense reinforcement OF the
previously far too great proportion OF voting
ignorance and incapaciiy. To imagine the
work done with the installment Of these citi-
gems as soveregns is to err fatally. All posi-
hle educational appliances should he nlultPl'-
cd and brought, to bear in all directions, and
upon the people of every State and Territory,
hut especially where the need of them is plain
ly the sorest if we expect the great expert
ment of liberty to continue successful, or FIVE
would escape, for ourselves and our children,
the worst calamities Of misgovernmat and
anarchy in the future"

destitute of common honesty and faith, and

THE COTTON CROP.

The New Orleans Herald, in an editorial
on the prospects Of the cotton crop III this
State, for the present year, says:
There are two distinct parties, who are as
widely divided rs any of the political parties
Of the day Ii would be a gross insult TO pre-
sume that they are at all influenced by
their interests in making up their estimates
and calculations. The one party is interested
In buying cotton al lower rates. A very
large crop will promote their views and inter-
ests. Another party having cotton, on the
other side, have lively concern in the multi
pieation and exageration Of the perils and
obstacles in the way Of a large crop.
Between the two there is a wide field for
speculation, surmise and discussion. The
short croppers have good send-otf in two
notable facts. First, in the latencss of the
crop, which exceeds two weeks of the last
years crop; and, secondly, in the prolonged
and extensive rains, which retard the devel.
opment Of the plant and stimulate vermicular
vigor and procreaton. Given a great delay
to the opening Of the bol's there j, g ave re-
duction Of the hundred days Of picking, and
an exposure to many dangers Of the autumn
and winter. And then the worms lave Sc,
10 work vigorously and have had great en-
couragement in their devastating course. Set
these down at moderate figures, and What
becomes Of your increase Of acreage, and o
your talk of large-stalked, luxuriant plants?
Considering that the time has been when
twenty thousand bales have been sent ic
New Orleans in the month Of August, there i.
certainly ground for serious concern as to the
shortness of the period which will be left to
the pic.ers of the present crop. II we get
five hundred bales Of the present crop during
the month of August it will greatly surprise
many people. Altogether, the subject is be-
yond our scope. We can only glance at the
points at issue between the parties, and have
neither interest nor ambition beyond the re-
;sult which will be most favorable to our COM
munity at large.
