SOUTH CAROLINA.
wise Action Of the Democratic COnven-
tlOn-ssen. wade Hampton.

IN. Y. Sunl
The Democrats Of South Carolina in
making a strict party nomination for
State officers have acted wisely, for IL
they should be defeated they could be
no worse off than they are. The people
Of that State could never have hoped for
relief 50 long as they acquiesced in and
virtually applauded the robbery Of the
property holders which has been
going on for years by the carpet
bag and negro politicians who have
despoiled them under the color Of law.
The chief, the shrewdest, the most
plausible, and the most dangerous of
These has been Gov. d. II. Chamberlain.
It may be that the decided rebuff which
that eminent reformer has just received
In his failure to control the Democratic
Convention, may result In his defeat in
the coming State Republican Conven-
ton, and in the ultimate substitution OF
somebody like Honest John j. Patter-
son, or ex-Congressmen Elliot, or some
respectable colored field hand-as yet
unknown to fame outside OF his district
as his successor in Office.
III such should prove to be the case.
the damage TO South Carolina would
not be great. No person of the class
we have last named could begin to make
State as Chamberlain could, while these
fellows would steal In such a vulgar
manner as TO disgust everybody, and
thus the overburdened taxpayers would
gain sympathy both in the North and
in the South, which they would forfeit
by disgraceful alliances with their op-
pressors. In selecting General Wade
Hampton as the candidate for Governor
another -ludicious movement has been
made. He has been secessionist: he
is now an outspoken Unionist. There
fore all parties can agree upon him.
politically. while everybody In South
Carolina, whether white or black, knows
that no stealing In Office would be
allowed with him at the head Of the
Government. 1t is not an impossibility
that South Carolina may be carried
this fall not only for Wade Hampton,
but likewise for Tilden. There are bit.
ter dissensions within the Republican
party in that State, and now is Just the
right time for the old ruling element to
approach the colored voters in spirit
OF Cancellation and good will with the
best results.

LOUISIANA

The people Of Red River enjoyed o
good rain q few days ago. They say,
however, that 1t is too late to save the
cotton.
All the crops In Lafourche are doing
well. There is enough corn to last
through the year. The rice crop is fine
and now ready for cutting. Ia
Cotton Is opening rapidly In st. Ian
dry and picking will commence shortly.
unless the showers now prevalent there
prevent this. .-.-.e
In Lafayette parish. the weather for
the past week has been showery, with
occasional north winds, producing an
autumn-like appearance. The wet
weather has not been favorable to the
cotton plant and Is considered condu-
worm. Planters have commenced gath
ering cotton.
There is enough rain in the Attakapas,
and just enough. Crops are very fine
especially cane, rice aud cotton, and Of
corn there will be large surplus,
although in some places it suffered from
drouth ut period when rain was essen
tial for that crop. Not cotton worm
has been heard Of yet, and IL they do
come 1t will be too late to do any dam
age. The cotton and sugar crops will

In Tensas, it is said, the late rains
have come too late to help the old cot
ton. Considerable shedding has already
taken place.
The army worm is widely scattered
through the parish. and Is now in a
chrysalis state. The third generation
| will be out In about ten or twelve days,
and then will soon be seen the extent
OF their ravages There may be some
places which will produce more than
half as much as last year, but we are
satisfied the aggregate production Of
the parish will not exceed that ratio.
MISSISSIPPI.
In Forest cotton Is shedding and run
ming to weed. Late corn is great sue

The corn crop near Holly Springs Is
the largest since 1843.
The corn crop OF Amite county will be
rs per cent OF an average yield.
In Coahomo crops have not been so
promising since the war.
In Monticello cotton worms have been
seen in some places, but not enough to
| hurt. There Is plenty OF rain indeed,
too much, as 1t prevents the picking Of
cotton.
The Oxford, Brandon, Meridian, Sum-
NIT, Matches and Kosciusko papers, all
complain Of bad weather for the cotton
