SAVANNAH, August Especial
reports to the Morning Neaos from
thirty-nine counties in Georgia,
located in different sections of the
State, say that the condition of the
cotton crop of the State averages in
general about the same as last year.
Owing to a drought Of five or six
weeks duration the condition of the
crops in some sections is not as
favorable as at the corresponding
time last season. The probable
yield is considered as an average
crop. Rain has broken the drought
in some sections and an improve
ment is looked for.
The outlook in Florida is con.
siderably brighter, owing to the
greater frequency of rains. Labor
generally is reported in good sup.
ply. Picking has begun in a few
counties and will be general from
about August 10th to Sept 1st

The Neaus and Courier objects to
the sulky, on the ground that the ac-
ton of the rider is not graceful,
and his occupation not conducive
to sociability. 1t says man is a
sociable creature, and social phil
osophers object to solitary amuse-
ments. The Meas and Courier
carries this theory into practice; it
is not fond of solitary amusements.
Some time ago it mounted . hobby
and rode a tilt at Capt. Lipscon1,
but it found the ride solitary, and,
oh! so loresome-not at all con-
ducive to sociability Indeed, the
hobby proved so much worse than a
sulky, that it was abandoned with
a promptness that was admirable
for our contemporary is not given
to solitary amusements.

The Abbeville Press and BanAer
says: ''The. month of July has
been unprecedentedly hot and dry,
from the first to the last. Very
little rain has fallen in this month,
and the whole county has suffered
intensely for rain, until very few
days ago, when partial showers
began. to fall: The corn crop in
nearly every section has been injur.
ed, and in some fields the crop is
completely ruined. On much of the
best bottom land in the county the
crop will be failure because Of the
dry spring, which interfered with
the preparation of the land, and be-
cause of the difficulty in getting a
proper stand. The cotton crop,
even where it is still in a healthy
condition, is but little larger now
than it was three weeks ago."

TEACH ,EM THE LAW.

When the general stock law was
enacted. murmur of discomfort
was heard from Lexington, which
has since deepened into a sullen
growl. The malcontents, who, of
course, do not represent the good
and progressive citizens of their
county, have made threats, dis
played cofins and engaged in other
demonstrations of lawlessness, to
the terror Of those who honor the
law. The Meas and Courier of
August Srd, contained this infor-
nation:
A delegation of substantial farm
ers of Lexington County waited on
Governor Thompson to-day and
presented q statement Of their
grievances in regard to outrages
and depredations committed upon
their property, crops, fences and
barns during the last tyo weeks by
anti-Stock law men. One case re-
lated was that a party Of men
rode up to the house of one of these
farmers, shot into it, wounding his
wife, set fire to his fences and burnt
his barn contaiMing corn, fodder,
&c. They state that these lawless
men have threatened and terrorized
the whole community, and report
many other outrages of a like char
acter. They asked the Governor
to take such steps as would lead to
the apprehension of the guilty par
ties. Governor Thompson has ia
ken the matter into consideration
and is now investigating it.
When the bill which became the
general stock law, was before the
Legislature, We thought thatit would
be wisest and fairest to leave the
matter to local option, and not
thrust the law upon county which
was opposed to it. Thinking as
we did, we could not help sympa-
thizing with poor Fishburne who
fought the bill so bitterly in behalf
of his own county. But the law
was enacted; it is on the statute
books; and all the people should be
taught to respect it. Most of those
who oppose it, do SO because under
its operations they are not allowed
to pasture their cattle upon other
peoples property, as they had done
from time immemorial. But they
cannot be a law unto themselves,
and prompt measures should be
taken for the punishment Of these
midnight marauders of Lexington,
who, we take it for granted, will
live long enough to see the. criminal
folly of harassing law-abiding citi-
zens, and attempting to nullify a
law which the government has the
power to enforce.

1t has been suggested that there
is serious obstacle in the way of
Senator Buffers plan for the i'm
provement Of the public highways.
The constitution forbids the levy of
any capitation tax except the poll
tax of one dollar for educational
purposes. The Senator'S plan can
not, it seems, be carried into execu-
ton without an amendment to the
constitution.

NEWS AND COURIER LAW.

A few days ago, our Charleston
contemporary, in strong editorial
in favor of schools for tenchnical
training, made the following argu-
ment:
A student Of law is required to
read law three years and stand an
examination before he can be ad-
s mitted to the bar, and physician
has to take full course in some
medical college before he can prac-
tice. Why not apply the same
rule to mechanics and tradesmen?
It would give us better labor, and
twould be better for those who
are engaged in practical pursuits.
The weak point of the argument
quoted is in the words, ':A student
of law is required to read law three
years and stand an examination
before he can be admitted to the
bar" We, at least, have no such
lay; and it is fair to presume that
our contemporary was speaking of
the Law of this State. What the
law does provide is that "any citi.
zen of this State who has attained
the full age of twenty-one years,
and who may pass an examination
upon the course of study prescribed
by the Supreme Court, and can
produce the certificate of practic-
ing attorney of the Supreme Court
that he is of good moral character,
shall be permitted to practice law
in this State, ON taking the oath
required by the Constitution and
the oath respecting dueling." The
OILY qualification required, then, is
the ability to stand an examina-
ton, get q certificate of good moral
character, and take an oath; and
we sincerely pity the man who can
not do this. Indeed, one is about
as easy as the other, and heis a.
sorry fellow who cannot, after
FIVE months study, stand the ex-
anination, as it is now conducted.
In saying that one is required to
study law three years before he can
be admitted to the bar, the Nescs
and Courier clearly acted on the
doctrine that whatever ought to be,
is-that there ought to be such a
law, whether there is or not. But
as that paper carries information,
as well as news, into many OF the
families of this State, a correction
should be made. This is due to the
members of the bar who have been
admitted under the new law; FOR
the people must have sorry opin-
ion of the capacity of many law
yer, if they think he was three
years acquiring the little law which
is dangerous thing to his clients.
The Neacs and Courier should say,
"A student Of law ought to be (not
is, but ought to be) required to read
law three years

The Georgia farmers, encouraged

their hopes. Prepayment of freight
