PUBLIC LEDGER.
THE GRAND FAILURE.

The imbrogio in the Convention of
Southern Radicals at Philadelphia, if not
expected by the public, might have been.
We say Southern Radicals, not that they
are Southern men, but because they went
from the South The peculiarly OF
these men is in their advanced position.
Disdaining the slow and uncertain mo-
tions of Northern sentiment towards
negro suffrage and negro equality, they
spring at bound to that millennium OF
Jacobinism. They want these things,
and want them right now" The border
State Radicals cannot be brought up so
suddenly to this ethereal condition. They
have some reclamations, perhaps, TO
make upon the Federal Government for
property taken in the war--negoes torn
from their plantations and converted TO
government uses. II would hardly seem
consistent conduct to contend IN one
breath that the negro is voter and IN
another that heis property to be paid for.
But your Radical from the South has no
such difficulty to overcome. He either
never was slave owner, or deems the
chance of reclamation in the States Of
the South, utterly out of the question.
He has his eye fixed upon one sublime
object. That object is the mastery of
the Southern States. He sees around him
a host of returned rebels who threaten
the honors, emoluments, rights aud priv
ileges acquired by virtue Of that title
which state Of war gives one man to
another property. To dispose of these
people, there are two plans suggested.
One is to disfranchise them and hold
them as a subjugated race by the arms of
the Government. Another is to place
the ballot in the hand Of the negro Ii
these can be put into operation, the
wealth and donors of the South will be
won.
And so, the Southern loyalists have
gone to Philadelphia TO meet the loyal
lists of the border States and the Radicals
of the North. The telegraph says the
Convention is virtually broken up. Can
that be? The border States are shaky,
the negro sufiragists of the North have
not dared to come out boldly with their
pet, and, the virtuous loyalists from our
section are undone. In no quarter
can they perceive ray Of light to con-
duct them out of the gloom in which
they are floundering. BRowSLow cannot
infuse any life into the concern. Every
object he touches with his favor drops in
death. Every object, or thing, or idea,
he assists with his curses, springs into
newness of life Destruction gathers
around the miserable faction at whose
head he stands black and wrathfnl as tie
chief of furies. He sees it in the coun-
tenauces of the people. He hears it in
the applause Of the millions who greet
ANDREW JOHNSON as he journeys through
the North and West We are glad these
men met in Philadelphia. Applause for
the President browns their deliberations,
and rolls the keynote of their fate.
They now see where they stand, or
rather, view the ground
Where they must shortly lie. I"

RUNNING A FACTORY.

just before the war, says the Mobile
Times. cotton factory was projected
near Carrollton, Mississippi, intended to
run, We suppose, about eighteen hundred
spindles. We are very well satisfied that
nobody would have thought of starting
an enterprise of the kind on any larger
scale than that, when probably the larg-
est of the mammoth establishments OF
New England hardly contain more than
ten thousand. The project was suspend
ed on account of the war-the very rea-
son why il should not have been suspend
ed-and has been revived within the past
year By some blnnder in the notice Of
its revival, the local paper changed the
eighteen hundred spindles to eighteen
thousand--a big thing. and therefore 1t
was sedulously copied all over the coun-
try for some three months About that
time, by a printer blunder, the $1,000
got changed to 10000, in which shape
it has been circulating for three months
more, and sigularly enough IS copied
without a single exclamation point, by
papers in the North, where everybody
knows that no such establishment exists
either in America or Europe NOia sus
picion, however, occurs to the sagacious
Northern editors that there may be a
mistake about it, so little do they know
of the South, and so credulous are they
of all big stories from this region.

CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL IN FRANCE.

DIR. jolly, French statisi, announces
that the consumption of spirituous IL
quors and alcohol is making rapid pro.
gress in France. In 1888 there were but
A, 400, 900 gallons of alcohol sold during
the entire year, but in 1910 this amount
had swollen to 22,OOO,OOO gallons, and in
1863 to &C, 100000 gallons. In 1910 the
consumption of alcohol in Paris was
equivalent annually to seveh quarts for
each inhabiiant, but now the average is
twenty-six quarts Dr. JOLLY says that
300, 600 Parisians daily indulge in spirit
nous liquors.

The Columbia Herald says: Through

on the opening of the court at Lewis
burg, last week, Mr.. Moan appeared and
claimed to preside as Chancellor, by vlr-
tue ola commission from W. G. BRowN-
Low, acting Governor of Tennessee.
Judge CAMPBELL couldn't see it the
Clerk and Master couldn't see IT and
the lawyers couldn't see it. So Mr.
Moan came back sadder if not wiser

In the meantime Mr. NOAH has re-
signed the Attorney Generals place
This is matter of congratulation, both
to the bar and the public, since there is
not to be found at the bar man less
competent or less acceptable.
The next we hear of Mr. NOAH is
the Press and Times OF We'd
nesday. which chronicles his passage
Nashville EN- route for the Radi-
cal Convention, at Philadelphia. Mr.
Moan claims to be Chancellor, though
he did get his commission in the usual
way, and this, we presume, would be has
excuse for leaving the State aud gong
off on political tour, contrary to all
precedent in a Tennessee judge. But
we shall be surprised il Mr. Moan re-
turns. We think it quite probable that
he will find it 10 his tastes and interest TO
seek the bubble reputation elsewhere

good breeding, and with a vein of origi-
