FenIan News.

New YORK, Nov. Colonel Roberts
issued stirring address to the Fenians, call
ing on them to form into military companies
at once, as the neutrality laws can't prevent
them, and its influence will no longer be al
lowed to rule this country to your injury
and Ireland's shame. Strange events are in
store for the future; you know not how soon
you may be called to strike again for Ire
land; let not the occasion or the call find
you unprepared.
4 IA letter received here says, two Fenian
prisoners recently in the hands Of the Cana
dian authorities escaped and are now in
Rochester. They state that the American
Consul at Toronto, expressed the hope that
the Canadian Government would hang them
all.
General Gleason in New York, is prepar-
ing a claim against the British Government,
to be forwarded to Washington for $50, 900,
for illegal imprisonment in Ireland.

From RaItinere.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.-The city is perfect
ly quiet to-day. No disturbance has taken
place beyond an attempt to shot policeman
by firing at him while in Taylor's news
room.
The new Commissioners have not made
their appearance, nor have they yet appeared
to be sworn in.
There is no truth whatever in the report
telegraphed from this city that Mayor Chap
man has decided to recognize the newly APP
pointed Police Board-on the contrary he is
outspoken in his determination not to re-
cognize them.
The latest report is that Mr.. Berry has
lice Commissioner rendered him by Gov
Swami.
Gov. Swami returned to Annapolis this
morning from Washington.
There are throngs of people in the vicini-
ty of the police stations and newspaper Off
ces, but all remains quiet.
The following is what was said by Judge
Martin, of the Superior Court of Baltimore
city before permitting the oath TO be ad-
ministered to the new Commissioners APP
pointed by Governor Swami, in the matter
of VIM. 7. Valient and Jos. Young, who

prescribed by the first section of the act of
1862, chapter 131:
In allowing these applicants to take the
oaths required by Sec l, act of '62, cahp. 131,
desire to be understood as expressing no
opinion on the question as to the jurisdic-
ton of the Governor of Maryland to remove
the police commissioners who are now in
Office by appointment of the Legislature
for official misconduct, or as to the validity
of the title of the applicants to the office to
which they claim to be entitled, under the
appointment of the Executive or in directing
to be administered to these applicants, the
oaths required to be taken by them by the
act Of Assembly of 1862, chapter one hun
bred and thirty-one. The court performs
only a ministerial duty, one which may be
disparaged by the clerk if there is no evil
dence of title in the applicants to the Office
claimed by them, and it only puts them in a
condition to maintain the validity of that
title. In taking the oaths prescribed by the
police act it is only compliance with the
conditions demanded by the statute, and with
out the performance of which, the office of
police commissioners or the discharge of its
duties, even assuming that the mode in
which they have been appointed was entire
ly unexceptionable, this question of their
title to this office cannot be tried in this
form

COST AND PROFITS OF COTTON
MANUFACTURES

The WhOlc cost of cotton machinery at the
work shop, including the carding, spinning,
dressing and weaving will be twelve (SI2)
dollars per spindle. The transportation and
putting it up in the house will be three ($3)
dollars additional. The house has to be de-
termined by the cost Of brick and carpenter
work where it is located. This is for an es-
Establishment that is prepared to take the raw
material from the bale and carry it through
all the processes Of manufacturing until it
is completed into the domestic cloth COM
monty called shifting or sheeting. Now,
one thousand spindles, with all the other
necessary machinery, would cos, put up in
the house, fifteen thousand dollars. This
would be furnished by, say, five persons
Then the house could De erected by the ma
SONS and carpenters at actual cost. This
mill would consume annually about two
hundred bales Of cotton. Now, let us see if
it viii make money. Cotton to-day is
woath thirty-two cents per pound.
One pound of raw cotton will make two
and three-fourth yards of Al cloth, which is
selling to-day at twenty-five cents per yard,
and Of course is worth in the manufactured
state, sixty cents per pound.
The manufacturing Of one pound Of raw
cotton will be ten cents, which, added to
the thirty-two cents, leaves a clear profit of
eighteen cents per pound Another item
that will be saved, if the cotton is manuiac-
tured in the Congressional district where it
is grown, is the three cents Government tax;
making, IN fact, really profit of twenty-one
cents per pound.
Now let us see how much money the mill
will make in one year.

THE SINE QUA NON.
From the McMinnrille New Ern.

From the Meanwhile New Era.l
Col. Stokes frankly informed his hearers,
in his speech at this place, that the adop-
ton of the constitutional amendment was
not the sine qua non upon which the South
ern States were to be admitted to their former
status in the Union. The Southern States,
he said, could adopt that amendment or not,
Just as they pleased, and that Congress would
then admit them, or not, Just as they choose.
1t was clearly foreshadowed by Mr.. Stokes
remarks, and be it remembered that he is but
recently from the grand pow-wOws of the
North, and may be set down as truthfully
rejecting the mind Of the Radical party,
that the ratification, by the Southern States
of the projected constitutional amendment
would not, as a measure of expediency and
concession, at all improve the position of
the South or avert the further conditions
which the Radicals are resolved to impose
on her. So the South would gain nothing
by the establishment now being asked at
her hands by the adopted of that amend
ment, but other, and more humiliating
conditions, shonld she accede to the wishes
OF the present Congress, will be required at
her hands. We can remain out, and pre-
serve our self-respect, or adopt that amend
ment and brand ourselves q set of cravens in
the eyes of all the world at is not the
sine qua non." Before giving cur consent to
see the South humiliate herself we would
prefer to remain "out in the wet " the bal
ance of our natural born days. The South
has done all that a magnanimous conqueror
should ask at the hands of a beaten foe; and
this should be offered to Congress as the sine
qua non on our part-they could then admit
the Southern States or not, just as they
pleased. True, we would gladly see the
Southern States resume their former places
in the Union, and live in peace and good
fellowship with all the States; but to COM
pei them to acts that will impair their self
respect we object We would rather be held
as conquered provinces, and by our good
conduct put the brand Of infamy upon the
conqueror who asks us to divest ourselves of
all respect, and lick the foot that kicks

4 CHATTANOOGA SENSATION-A
STRANGE DISCOVERY.

Last Tuesday morning a farmer named
WILKINS, living in Walker county, Ga,
whose hogs had strayed away, was searching
for the lost animals among the mountains
in the vicinity, when he discovered two newly
made graves on the extreme summit ola hill
far away from any known habitation. Mark
ing the spot he continued his search, and on
his return home, having informed a neigh
Dor Of the strange sight he had seen on that
lonely mountain peak, the two started of
next morning to examine the mysterious
graves. Having turned up the earth over
the graves, they exhumed two pine collins,
which on being opened were found to con-
tain the bodies of two infants about three
weeks old The fact that they were sburied
far away from any human habitatiOn, ex-
cited the surprise Of the two farmers, and
they proceeded to explore the vicinity. Ar
ter an hours search, they found an opening
in the side Of the mountain, in which, upon
entering, they were Mortified to find the life
less remains Of a woman lying on the tioor
of the cavern. The features Of the dead
we're unknown to the farmers, who, after
giving the remains a Christian burial, re-
Turned 10 their homes. No clue to the mys-
tery which enshrouds the cause Of the poor
woman's fate has yet been found.-Chafta-
