A Chance of Agricultural Tactics.

We learn from our exchanges, that the farm
ers and planters of the Gulf States, are, for the
first time in long series of years, beginning
to look to their own interests, and are changing
the old cotton-planting system for one OF more
profit and greater benefit. Louisiana, Texas
and Alabama, three of the largest cotton-pro-
ducng States in the South, are this year going
largely into the planting of corn, rye, oats and
other grains, and the raising of stock, truly
believing that this newly adopted system will,
in great measure, dispense with many of the
evils which necessarily attend the raising OF
cotton. They seem to have found out by woe
full experience, even at this late hour only
what they could have done by little reflection
years ago, viz: that by cultivating cotton alto
gether, they entailed, not only upon themselves
but upon their respective States, condition ol
poverty almost imperceptible at first, but which
by degrees, developed itself into huge proper
tions until now they are almost in a ruined
condition. No wonder factors, commission
merchants, and others at the North encouraged
this planting of cotton, for by it their Golfers
were filled, they were made wealthy, and the
condition of the North prosperous. The South
planted and raised the great staple, prepared
it for market, and shipped it North at paltry
price. The money which the farmers anc
planters of the Southern States received III
return for their cotton, was not permitted te
remain long in their possession, for owing to
the diversity system of agriculture they
had no grain to feed their stock, no flour
bacon, nor in fact much of anything else, ano
their cash went back again, North and West
to purchase supplies for the coming season
leaving them in condition to be deplored, anc
their States destitute of money circulation
Another great drawback upon the farmers
and planters caused by king cotton, was the
great quantities of commercial manures used
causing vast amount of money to be expen
died.
Now, we are truly glad to learn that the
fine fertile lands of the Gulf States, which
heretofore could boast only Of one product
can after the harvest time, present grain OF al
kinds and in quantities sufficient, not only tol
home consumption, but also for market, thu'
restoring happiness, prosperity and gooe
money circulation.
South Carolina is still in the back ground
but we hope the day is not far distant wher
her fertile plains shall be seen teeming with
heavy crops of grain, and her people rendered
prosperous and happy by receiving instead o
expending money.
The West is altogether gran-growing ant
stock k-raising country, and financial panic
never interfere with its great interests Then
why can't we take beneficial lesson from he
people and render ourselves prosperous, no
trudge along forever in one old pathway.

The Imitation of Currency.

The Bill for initiating or increasing the cir
culation of the currency of the United States,
introduced in the House of Representatives
by Mr.. Dawes, of Massachusetts, the Chairman
of the Committee on Ways and Means, passed
the House without much discussion, but upon
the coming up of the bill before the Senate,
considerable and animated discussion ensued.
Most of the Senators from the Northern and
Middle States argued against the passage OF
the bill, denouncing it as measure that would
in time increase the debt of the whole nation
to such an extent that its greatest interests
would be impaired. The Southern and West
ern Senators, however, advocated its passage,
knowing that it would add greatly to the well
fare of their respective sections. After much
debate the bill passed the Senate. 1t now re-
mains for the President to sign, in order tor 1t
to become a law, and this he will doubtless do,
if he intends that the interests of the South
and West should be furthered. This bill es-
tablishes the maximum for the circulation OF
United States notes at $500, 100000, instead OF
1856, 900 900; thus giving an increase of circu-
lation to the amount of S44,O0O,OOO. 1t is said
that the Secretary of the Treasury favored the
passage of the bill throughout. There is also
a proposition before Congress to initiate the
National Bank circulation to the same amount'
and to establish a system of free banking.
This is indeed the dawn of light for the
Southern States that have been suffering from
the penury of grabbed circulation for so
many years. After experiencing all the rava-
ges of long and devastating civil war, their
commercial interests nearly ruined, their lands
almost waste, and now groaning under
heavy and oppressive taxation, they cannot 90
otherwise than hail with Joy the passage of
bill that, should it become a law, will be so ad-
vantageous to them.
No wonder the Senators from the Northern
and Middle States opposed its passage so vehe-
mently, since by the former very limited clrcu-
lation they were enabled to have the whole
nro6t in their own hands, The States which
shey represent are for the most part manutac-
turing and commercial, and consequently more
wealthy than either their neighbors OF the
West or those of the South. By buying up
the staple product of the South ever since the
war, they we're enabled, through speculative
means, to accumulate vast amounts OF money,
which they took good care to keep at home tor
further schemes. Now, S44,OOO,OOO, no small
sum- will be thrown on the market and freely
circulated, and the usurious system OF interest
demanded by Northern creditors will in great
measure be done away with. Our commercial
interests, both internal and external, will be
greatly facilitated, and the South materially
benefited.

PardOned.

We learn from reliable sources, that Cover
nor Moses has pardoned James Rabb and
Frank Rabb, who were convicted of arson at
the November, 1873, term of Court for this
County, and sentenced by Judge Cooke TO ten
wears at hard labor in the Penitentiary 1t is
said the Governor granted these pardons upon
the application of Judge Cooke. These men
have only been imprisoned for short time,
and owing to the clemency of the executive,
now return home, probably to engage in other
crimes or misdemeanOrs.

Executions.

There were three executions in the State on
Friday last, 9th March. Two, Furman and
Vincent were executed for murder at Sumter
G. r., and one, Samuel Banks for the same
dark crime at Abbeville G. 81. All were col
ored men. Four executions take place IN
Edgefeld in May, June and July. 1t seems
that law and justice are beginning to exert
their sway ever bloodshed and crime, and we
hope that ere long our State will prosper by
the absence of all crime.

The above named officers will be installed at

the meeting punctually, and especially do we
hope that the ladies will be present. We do
not wish to see the ladies of Anderson engaged
in a "crusade" against the liquor traffic OH the
style of the Western women, but we do wish
to see them lending their encouragement and
influence to the great cause of Temperance.
BY attending the Division the ladies not only
throw the power of their influence to draw re-
cruits into the temperance army, but they give
great encouragement to the old members to
fight on with greater zeal in this noble cause
Let us also have the aid of the clergy in our
efforts to bring about a reform.
