\ WoRD IN SEAsoN.-We have fairly
entered upon another year The land is
not filed with plenty and hard times arc still
upon US. This i, not so because Of barren
soil or unrroptious seasons. Providence
has watched over US and been kind to us.
The fault is in ourselves We have nos
maze use of the advantages bestowed upon
us but have gone forward in lstlcss and
Indifferent way, contertcd with n mere cx-
istcncc.
Unless the people assert themselves the

same satisfactory way and at the end >nf the
century we will be no more~prospcrous
tnan we are this day. y ma.:sIor planting
cotton has done the work and brought us
down to The lowest round of the ladder
Cotton is not worth what was required to
produce it. Still it has been the main crop
and provision crops have been almost en-
tirely neglected. So we find ourselves at
this critical jupcture with full supply of
cotton at au exceedingly low price and moth
ing TO eat. The farmers arc responsible
for this result They have needed moth
ing tho newspapers said, but making haste
to be rich they bent their energies and
spent thoir money in making cotton. On
this line we have touched bottom and tho
time for reaction has come
Shall we enter upon the new year with
the same old idea. We hope not. A
diversity of crops is the remedy. If we
make enough to eat We will bo all right
in the future. Then our farmers will be
Independent. and so also will be our citizens
in other occupations. Our advice is to
raise grain, corn, hogs, cattle, tobacco and
everything to keep money at home-A6>

This being conceded then it follows
that the vacancy happened while the

the President sent in Matthews nomi.

It will not do TO try and avoid the
issue thus plainly made, for the Presi-
dent or his excusers, if he has any, to
assert that Douglass resignation in the
hands of the President was conditional
upon the appointment and qualification
of his successor. That is attempting
TO 60 behind the returns, for the Presi-
dents official communication to the
Senate makes up the record upon which
the issue is TO be tried. Whether in
fact the Douglass letter of resignation
was Conditional or not no one but
himself and the President know, and In
any case 1t makes no difference in the
indictments the official record is the
only statement TO be considered.

1t for granted that he is a competent,
deserving man, and we congratulate
him upon the honor, If not upon the
burdensome responsibility, that has
been put upon him.
1t is quite likely that his induction
as a pronounced Democrat into a place
hitherto occupied by pronounced Re-
publican. will be followed by con
siderable, though probably not sweep
ing, change in the official personnel Of
the Office, and among It's nearly two

will depend in some measure upon the
character Of the Congressional intlu-
euce, which is now largely represented
there. To the extent, be II greater or

under partisan control by the Republi-

The selection of Thomas q, Benedict

Printer, like numerous other appoint

mind that Mr. William f. Rogers was
the coming man, while Mr., Heating Of
Memphis, Mr.. stoll Of Indiana and
several other candidates each had a
following respectable in numbers and
influence, and, of course, a hope Of
success. 1t appears that all this time
