When Thad. Stevens offered what
was known as his Brigadiering Bill by
which the Southern States were placed
under military rule Internationally,
without the opportunity ofescape from
it as provided in the Sherman Bill, an
article was published in these columns
from the Cincinnati Commercial, a
moderate Republican paper, denounc-
ing it in strong terms. The adoption
of the latter measure, with conditions
upon which relief from military super
vision, and representation in Congress
may be secured, has elected from that
journal an article in quite different
strain, which will be found in to days
paper. 1t presents suggestions which
are worthy of consideration.

The destruction of the slave laboi
system of the South, will necessarily
deyolve upon her people the duty o.
diyersifying their pursuits. The con
troll which her great staple has hereto
fore commanded for her in the com
mercial world, we apprehend has pass
ed away forever.
To grow cotton successfully requires
more effective and reliable labor sys-
TEN than she will be able to command
hereafter, though the production OF
the staple may still continue to be a
branch Of her industry.
Even before the war, many of her
most enterprising citizens had en-
barked extensively in manufacturing
with compensating results. Georgia
was the first Southern State to appre-
ciate the Importance of manufactures,
and there the subject began to create
interest about forty years ago. Many
enterprises were commenced without
prudence and skill. The failure of
these exerted in many sections q de-
pressing influence. Still, much has
been accomplished. Even the failures
have pointed the means of success.
To Athens belongs the honor Of
erecting the first cotton factory in
Georgia. The first building, which
was of wood, was put up, in 1929, bya
joint stock company, on North Oconee
river, four miles from Athens, and
went into operation in 1880, with 1000
spindles and 20 looms. In 1916 new
brick building was erected near the
old one, into which was put about 5000
spindles and one hundred looms, with
The necessary preparatory machinery.
It has since been in constant and sue
,essful operation, spinning yarns from
No. 5 to 20, and weaving cloth accord
ng to demand. The Athens factory,
IN the west bank of North Oconee
liver, is the second started in the
State. 1t was built in 1888 and de-
troyed by fire in 1884. In 1886 it
gain commenced operations as a cot
on and wool factory. In 1857 it was
gain burned 1t was rebuilt in 1858,
nd last year important additions were
made, increasing its capacity from 1000 |
0 1000 spindles. Over 700 looms are
employed on white and col
red goods. The present capital is
$4,000, and employment is given to
25 operatives.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
The Question for the South TO
Consider.

twill be for the people of the South
ern States to determine whether they
will proceed to Immediately reorgan.
ize their civil government or submit to
mixed provisional and military rule fol
an unlimited period 1t is a prac-
tical question; one to be consid-
cred moIe in its effect upon industrial
and commercial concerns than in its
bearings upon political affairs.
The military feature of the Con-
gressional plan is intended to be tenn
porary, and is to cease the moment the
constitutions and civil governments of
the States have been reconstructed
upon the basis laid down in the BILL
The duration of military rule will de-
pend entirely upon the time required to
accomplish the work. If the States,
Immediately accept the conditions and
present them to Congress with modi-
fed constitutions, and local govern
ments organized in harmony with the
law, they will not only be accorded
representation in Congress, but the
provisional conditions of the law will
cease. In other words, they will re-
sumo all their civil powers subject to no
further dictation or supervision by the
Federal Government than is exercised
over the other States.
If the people of the South have re-
solved to oppose mastery inactivity
to the policy of Congress, they should
first inquire of themselves whether
they are prepared to maintain an atti-
tude of passive resistance till such
time as the endurance of the people of
the loyal States is exhausted, and they
instruct their representatives to aban-
don that policy and receive the South
ern States Internationally That
time, they may be assured, is far in
the distance, and dreary perspective
of mixed military and civil rule lies
between it and the present. If they
are not confident of resolution to pas
sively resist to the end, and have
doubts whether they win not at some
time accept the terms now named, the
sooner they subscribe to them the bet
ter, for every interest, civil or politi-
cal.
The conditions of the constitutional
amendment have been declared by a
majority of the people of the non
seeding States to be necessary and
they will adhere to them.
As to negro suffrage, which is now
insisted on, the drift of public opinion
is gaining ground that if suffrage is to
be denied to any class of citizens it
shall be for some more reasonable
cause than race and color, which may
be misfortunes, but are not faults. |
Nor is a qualified negro suffrage nov
city. In many of the Southern States
it was permitted, up to a very recent
date.
The Southern people may be assured
that, while great differences of opinion
may exist as to the expediency Of that
part of the policy of Congress which
relates to provisional government
there is none among radical or con-
Republicans as to the wisdom
The liberality, and the necessity of the
ierms Of the amendment to the Con
the adoption of which is,
liter all, the vital question, because
ipon the decision depends the brief or
JrOtracted duration Of guasi-military
md civil government in the Southern
states.
