the popular mind which would fol-
low the attempt to enforce such q
measure, it would soon be found that
white juries would not convict white
men for killing negroes who under
took to intrude themselves upon
them as social equals. And if the
Government Of the United States at
tempted to coerce the white people
of the South into submission to ne
gro social equality, they would find
that the white troops, who might be
called into the field against us to
fight for such negro social equality,
would generally lay down their arms
before they would perform the task.
In word, if they drove us to sub
mission at the point Of the Dayonet,
the bayonet would generally be in
the hands of the negro, and our peo-
pie would have to defend themselves
against it as best they could. The
result would not be doubtful. All
prosperity would be destroyed, and
general confusion, bankruptcy and
ruin would prevail, until the strug>
gle between the races terminated,
which would, as / have already said,
in the end, result in the extinction
Of the weaker race.
But / do not care to pursue this
theme. The consequences of this
measure would be too horrible for
contemplation, and we can only hope
that the evil win be averted by the
good, practical, common sense Of
the American people, and that the
political oganization which attempts
to force this state Of things upon the
country, or any sction Of Il, will
meet with overwhelming defeat in
every issue.

SMALL FARMS AND HIGH Gull
TIRE


The State Agricultural Society, at
its late Stone Mountain Convention,
struck the key note of successful ag-
riculture in Georgia, when they de-
clared in favor of small farms and
high culture. That is the card
which will win. The days Of four
acres to the bale and six bushels Of
corn to the acre have been brought
to q close. No man can afford to
skim wide and barren surface for
scanty crop any longer. Il is here
now, as il is everywhere else--that
a poor crop is ruin--a moderate crop
is nothing made, and profit all lies
in heavy product.
Lands must be enriched and thor
oughly prepared fol. the crop-en-
riched, not so much by the expendi-
ture Of costly commercial manures as
by the application Of intelligent la
Dor to them-in deep ploughing, sue
cessive green soiling with peas, and
liberal contributions from the barn
yard and compost heap. A bale of
cotton to every acre in proper heart
ought to be the reasonable expec-
tation of every farmer, and the only
obstacle TO it is the lack Of industry,
patience and forecast. The good
planter must prepare his fields in adj
vance--this year for the next--and
have the firmness to curtail his area
to the point which will admit of thor>
ough culture.
As supplementary to this plan Of
operations and, in fact, an almost in
dispensable part Of it, great care
should be bestowed on domestic,
food producing stock--good cows
fine sheep, and plenty Of them.
Fence corner starvelings and runts
are emblematic of their owners and
represent his condition and pros-
poets. In short, sswhatever is worth
doing at all is worth doing we'll"
This is truer in farming and stock
keeping than anything else--and or
der, sickness and fairness should
the farmers hocks and
herds, as we'll as his fields and all
his surroundings.

THE COTTON PROSPECT /.

We have already alluded, in an
other article, to the efforts Of the
New York spectators to depress the
price of cotton. That these efforts
have been temporarily successful is
the result mainly of causes that had
no existence before the war. The
price of cotton in New York was re-
guIated by the dealers in Liverpool
and Manchester, whose agents
and correspondents were scattered
throughout the South. It was to
the interest of the agents to forward
reliable reports, and the consequence
was that the Liverpool market was
guided by these advices. Unfortu-
nately for the planter, the cable and
the New York. Cotton Exchange
have done away with the old relia-
BILE mediums. Liverpool and Mans
chester depend upon the New York
market and New York market de-
ponds upon set Of men who are
not too scrupulously honest to gam
bic recklessly and desperately on
'sfutures.' II, thus comes about that
the price Of the staple depends not
upon the condition or volume of the
crop but upon the interest on future
deliveries.
1t is scarcely probable, however,
that even the rapacity of the specu-
lators can succeed in depressing
prices for any length oftime. These
gentlemen have made the very ma
tural mistake of surprising that the
necessities Of the Southern planter
are 40 pressing now as they have
been eAery year since the war.
They have taken no account Of the
economy and frugal industry that
have entered into the production Of
the growing crop, nor are they viii
ling to believe that the acreage has
been materially reduced. Basing
their calculations on the hope that
the unthrifty policy which has we'll
nigh ruined our agriculturists has
been persisted in, they, confidently
expect to see the bulk of the cotton
crop well on its way to market boz
fore prices have been restored to
their natural condition. In this we
think they will be mistaken.
When it comes to be understood
that the average condition Of the
crop is not nearly SO favorable as
last year, nor the acreage 50 large,
prices will 81 once go Though the
process Of readjustment. Over a
very large extent Of the cotton belt
the top crop has been cut off by the
long drouth il August, and in near
ly every cotton growing State we
have reports Of the shedding Of new
forms and the premature opening Of
bolls. So well authenticated are
these reports that ono of the most
careful commercial writer's in New
York, whose interest would seem tC
be to foster the designs of the spec.
ulators' ring, estimates the new croF
at little over 8 100000 of bales
against 100000 last year. This
it will be seen, is quite tame beside
the rose-colored exaggerations 81
prevalent a fortnight ago.

I make this change in order to embrace larger extent of uneXplOred country, particularly to follow and locate as much as possible the portion of the Lit tie Missouri country of which nothing is now known. expect the expedition will reach Fort Lincoln by the 3lst of August. This expedition entered the Black Hills from the west side; penetrated through the eastern and most southern range; eX- plOred the major portions in the lowest part and passed out of the most eastern range, which form the boundaries of the Black Hills. These hills are not impene- trable as heretofore represented, though the appearance from the exterior indi- cates that the interior is full of obstacles. In regard to the character of the country enclosed by the Black Hills, I only repeat what have stated in previous dispatches, that no portion of Onr country can boast d richer or better pasturage, purer water, the natural temperature of which in Sum- mer as 1t flows from the rocks, is but F de- greeS above freezing point; or greater ad- VantageS generally to the farmer and Stock-raiser, than are to be found in the Black Hills.

 short and the nights too cool for corn, but 1 believe all other grains could be prOduc- ed here in wonderful abundance. Wheat would particularly yield largely. There is no doubt as to the existence of various minerals throughout the hills. This subject has received the especial at tentiOn of experts who accompany the eX petition, and will be reported upon in de- tail. I will also mention that iron and pIumbagO have been found and beds of gympsum apparently ineXhaustible. re- ferred in a former dispatch to the discovery ofgOld. Subsequent examinations at nu- merous points confirm and strengthen the fact of the existence of gold in the Black Hills. On some of the water courses, al- most every painful of earth produced gold in paying quantities. Our brief haltS and rapid marches prevented anything but very nasty examinations of the country in this respect. The miners report that they found gold among the roots of the grass, and from that point to the lowest point reached (eight feet, gold was found in paying quantities. It has not required eX- perts to find gold in the Black Hills, as men without any former experience in mining, discover it with but little time or labor.
 "As an evidence of the rich pasturage to be found in this region, 1 can state that my beef herd, after marching upward of 600 miles, is in better condition than when started, being now as fat as is consistent with marching condition. The same may be said of my mules and horses.'

FOR dry country, I never saw so much rain fall," was the remark oS well posted gentleman a few days ago. Arizona has the reputation of being a dry section of country, yet last year and this, rain has fallen in nearly every month. We have just run over our files back to October 1873, and find 1t rained some in that month in Tucson and every month since, save May and June. In these two months we were absent, and find the condition of the weather noted in THE CITIZEN but twice, therefore we are not certain but rain fell during them. In November, January, March, July and this month, very heavy rains fell here and much heavier ones in the surrounding mountains. Monday night and Wednesday of this week, very heavy rains fell all about and in this town
 The country here is one mass of yerdure, while we are sure in much of California, Nevada, Idaho, Utah and other places, vegetation is about all parched brown. Our Santa Cruz valley is a more dense green now than in the Spring of the year. It is the opinion of observers here for ten and more years, that rains are becoming more frequent, and are increasing in quantity.

WE get these San Carlos items from MT. Sidney R. Delong, who returned on Tuesday from trip to Grant and San Carlos: He saw the Indians marched ID line and counted on last Saturday, and there were just 72l. They seemed to be under perfect discipline. There have been but two sprinkles of rain at San Carlos this year and the dust is very deep and suffocating whereabouts. About ten miles out this way, the rainfall has been liberal, and the roads tor a number of miles north of Kennedy's Wells, are very muddy and difficult to travel with speed. NIT. DeLong found the Lower Crossing of the San Pedro rather difficult; and that on last Monday night the fall of rain at the Cienega, twenty-odd miles east of here, was unusually heavy.
