The Finance Bill.

There has been very general expres- sion of opinion upon all sides in regard to the financial bill, and Congress can not plead that 1t does not know the popular sentiment. The Democratic press, with some exceptions, denounces the bill as a sham and farce and scheme of imitation. The Republican journals point with satis- faction to the distinct pledge of resump- tion at 8 certain day, and justly claim that the bill is not intended to deceive, and means what it says. Yet the objection forcibly taken by Mir. Schurz, and not disposed of by MT. Sherman, is very gen. erally perceived and stated by the Repub- licans. They see that there is no provis- ion for canceling the greenbacks as they are retired, and that this is a significant omission. MT. Schurz proposed to amend by providing for monthly contraction. This was overwhelmingly lost. He then proposed cancellation of the notes with drawn. This also was not supported. But, as we stated last week, he neverthe- less voted for the bill, because of the distinct pledge, and of the practical im- possibility of not redeeming the pledge. If the Republican party means to retain power.
 This, indeed, is to be said of the bill as 1t passed the Senate, that it's possible op- eratiOn in details is subject of specula- tion, like the working of the currency bill of the last session, while the pledge is unconditional. It must be remembered also that 1t is compromise, and compro- misses seldom satisfy those who feel strongly. Yet, as we have already said, we wish that majority of the caucus who adopted the bill had the courage to insist upon simple, strong, unmistakable measure. If there were Republicans who would not have sustained it, there might have left the caucus, but the party would have been stronger without them. The quality that Republican leadership now demands beyond all others is courage. That intelligent public opinion which is Republican. but dissatisfied with Repub- ican management, and which showed it's dissatisfaction at the election, demands defined and decided policy in the direc- tlOn of the bill, but going farther than it's provisions. The law as 1t passed the Senate does not, indeed, prohibit the can- ceiling of the notes, nor does 1t authorize their reissue. Certainly while MT. Bris- tow is Secretary, and while the President holds his present positive views, the notes will not be re-issued. and if Secretary may exercise his discretion in issuing, there is no reason in the bill why he should not exercise it in canceIng.
 Meanwhile the Democrats, who, ,rousing from their amusing consternation, have been sneeffng at the bill as 8 sham, have a verp simple and obvious way of showing that they think 1t sham. Several of the Democratic Senators during the debate said that they would gladly vote for a bill which would really lead to resumption.

CONNECTICUT ToBAcco. extract the following from an article in the Courant of Jan 9th:
 The crop of the past year is one of ya- red qualities, occasioned no doubt as we'll by the lateness of the season as by the scarcity of plants in many sections. A late spring is hardly favorable for growers of tobacco. Not only are the plant beds made later, but the growth of the plant is stopped, and occasions late transplantingin field. This was particularly the case in Hartford county. Many of the growers kept the beds covered with cloth frames, soaked in oil, while others covered with pine boughs to keep the plants warm Much of the tobacco grown was cut early in September, while some was harvested in August. The early tobacco cured down evenly, and showed no great variety of colors, except only in few instances, but much of that harvested late in the season resembles, Ill great measure, Joseph's coat The crop as whole Is light in col or, with considerable body and much strength of leaf. The colors of the leaf will doubtless change on sweating, and may possibly pass through the fermenta- tlon with the best of results. Early in the season the crop attracted the atten- tion of New York buyers, who saw not only the demand likely to be made for the crop, but who were we'll aware of the smallness of the growth as we'll as it's gen. eral good quality. Many of them rushed In where other buyers ''feared to tread" and in few weeks secured from half to two-thirds of the entire crop grown in the valley. Some bought only the finest, while others examined the leaf but little, and few who had bought before of the same growers did not look at it at all. Many conJectures have very naturally arlsen In the minds of the growers, and especially with those that sold first and at prices now considered low, as to why the crop was so eagerly taken and SO early in the season. One reason was doubtless the small area of land cultivated with to-
 bacco, and the inferior quality of a por- ten of this. The buyers, ever alive for every profitable speculation, saw at once that a.few wealthy growers could handle almost the entire crop, which has been estimated at from 30,OGO to B, ,OOO cases. Another reason, and doubtless the main one that influenced the buyers in hand hng the crop, was the large amount of wrappers this years growth would fur nlsh to the case. This is matter of the utmost importance. and is we'll under stood by all buyers of leaf tobacco In some seasons the cases will yelld but a small amount of good wrapping stock, while another years growth will furnish large amount. On this point the buyers will hardly be disappointed The growth ln many respects is good, although it can not be denied that there is some tobacco of the "A crop that will hardly be classed among s.selections Another years growth only adds to the knowledge con- eerning the plant and the value to be de- rived from early plants and trarsplanting two great requisites in tobacco culture.

The Republican Party and the South.

The :Ncw York Ucruld thinks that
the blunder of the Republican parry
consists in the adoption of an immova-
able. exclusive Southern policy, when
the conditieu Of that section has been
constantly changing, and calling for a
more liberal programme of measures.
The consequence is that it has lost near
" the white Southern vote in every
State except North Carolina, and in
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and
Georgia, the party is in morbund con-
dition. According the Herald the rigid
exclusive policy of. the Government
should have been relaxed, and Southern
men called to the Cabinet and other
Federal officers. They might thus
have secured all the Southern leaders,
and succeeded in building up their par,
ty, with the strong support of the pco-
pie of all the Southeap States.
But the evil lies deeper than in tho
policy indicated by the Herald. 1t lies,
it is true. in an exclusive policy, Dul
not in the exclusion of Southern mcll
from office by the terms o the recon-
struclion measures, or by the direct ac-
ton of the Government. 1t originated
in that practical exclusion which was
the necessary fruit Of universal suffrage
Here was the first blunder of the Gov
ernmcnt in putting the ballot into the
hands Of the ignorant and pauper class
This was practical ostracism-the en-
clusion of virtue and intelligence from
the chief places of honor and trust by
operation of universal suffrage. 1t
turned over the State governments into
the control of unprincipled demagogues,
who have brought them to the verge OF
ruin. The South is now slowly rccov-
cring, and the only favor she asks of tho
Federal Government now is to be let
alone

The Oat Crop in the South.

The assertion of the NcW York Times
that the South is unable to raise her food
supply, seems destined 20 meet with
abundant rcfutation. We have before
US Il letter from q. responsible planter,
residing in Monroe county, in the north
crn portion of mississippi While re-
stricting his crop Of oats TO the supply
necessary for home consumption, and
invariably devoting his poorest land to
small grain, he has succeeded in raising
between seventy-iive and eighty bush
els of oats to the acre. For seven years
he has planted the rust-proof quality
which has never been known to fail
from any cause, and was killed but one
year-in 1873. His crop during the
present season cost for seed 81 25 per
acre, breaking the land 81 cents, har-
rowing ~ cents, harvesting 81, and
hauling twenty-five cents. This fur
nished him winters supply Of the
best oats ut less than five cents bushel
which all must admit is cheaper than
buying.-N. O. Times.
What can be done in Louisiana is
practicable throughout the South and
it is only necessary for our farmers to
turn their attention to the subject to be-
come independent of the East and
West. Oats IS one Of the cheapest of
crops and furnishes the best food for
stock. The cultivation of both wheat
and oats is SO much cheaper tl!an that of
corn and cotton, that 1T should receive
more attention from our farmers. We
must diversity our crops, if we hope to
be prosperous.

\rns spartanSurs .
road.

The recent action Of the Board of Di-
reclors of this Road, in removing MI
K,uf,nrn and which Ted to the rcsigni-
ton of President Mcmminger, has
c,llcd fortl, Il letter from the new Pres
ilcnt, Mr.. Duncan, in which he assures
the Charleston people that there has
been no abandonment of the original
object of the enterprise, but that they
still seek the most direct route between
Charleston and the great Wcst-that
the late action of the Board was not i'll
tended to do injury to Charleston III
terests, and that it is to be hoped that
the vacancies made by the resignation
of Mr.. Mcnmingcr, Major Barker, and
Mr.. C. W. Williams will be soon be
filled.
The Charleston ,Ncws 0ntl Courier,
however, in commenting on the letter
SAYS, that the only guarantee that
Charleston had for the full protection OF
her interests was the connection OF
these influential names with the enter
prise. and their necessary withdrawal
must weaken the public faith-that the
'Spartanburg and Union road Which is
.aconnecting link, is mainly owned by
citizens Of Charlotte, whose interests
are hostile to Charlesto' and that the
influence of the Airline Road will be
exerted to divert trade from Charleston
along it's route-that the Spartanburg
and Uuion Road should have been
bought or leased-in short that without
the aid of Charleston the prospects OF
the .Ashvillc and Spartanburg Road are
pretty gloomy, and that with present
lights there is no likelihood of aid from
that quarter. These dissensions are
unfortunate but grow necessarily, We
lsupposc, out of conflicting interests.

THE Savannah River Valley Associa-
ton OF the Patrons of Husbandry met
in Augusta last week, at which Mr..
Paul Hammond, of South Carolina,
made estimates from reports from one
hundred Oranges, which showed a de-
crease of five per cent. in the acreage of
cotton this year compared with last.
An increase Of seventeen FER cent. in
the acreage Of corn, and an increase of
twenty-five per cent. for smaller grain.
The cotton crop was very promising up
to the 10th or 18th of July, but drouths
cut it. off at least tllirty-thrce per cent.
from the prospect then. The rust in
many sections will still further decrease
the yield.
a favorable report was made by Mr..
Rhodes, superintendent Of the Planters
Union Agency, and one hundred bales
Of cotton were subscribed for 'purchas-
ing the large warehouse now used. it
is estimated that some 80 or 900 bales
will be received for sale during the COM
ing season.

THE GEORGIA TROUBLES.-Fromt the
confessions Of prominent negroes, 1t
seems that Tic threatened negro insur-
rectiOn in Georgia was more extensive
than was at first anticipated, embracing
some nineteen counties, and that an in
discriminate slaughter of the whites was
proposed with the exception OF the
pretty white women, who were to be
spared, and that the lands aud spoils
were to be divided out among the
blacks. The Northern papers seem dis
posed to make light Of the matter, and
to regard the excitement as excessive,
but sober and discreet persons who were
cognizant of the facts, tell q different
tale. Governor Smith himself after a
visit to the disturbed counties, was sere-
nadcd in Augusta, and said that there
was serious cause for apprehension OF,
insurrcction in the disturbed counties,
but owing to the timely and prudent ac-
ton of the whites all danger had passed.
The great mass of the colOred people
really knew nothing of the danger and
gravity Of the plot into which they were
being led by band of negroes. lie
rounsellcd prudence and forbearance.
All men, white and black, should be
protected in their rights of person and
property. He would see to it that peace
and order and good government were
preserved by 4 rigid enforccm ent of the
laws. The courts were open, and all
violators would be tried and pun ishcd.
All danger had passed, ants ,l.ere was no
reason to apprehcnd any further infrac-
tons Of peace. He will offer u reward
Of five hundred dollars for the arrest of
Gen. Morris, the leader in the recent
trouble. 1t is reported that colorcd
man was killed in one of the counties.
The Governor says he will offer arcward
for the arrest of the murdcrers, if the
report proves correct.

full of accounts of the growing national

from the army of rowing bcggars, who

them, resorting to force. The original
