SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 16, 1869
The Republican Confesses the Sins Of
Radicalism.

The Republican has a prolonged grum.
bic about Radical Encouragement of af-
fairs in the Territory. In abiding to.the
miserable mail arrangements" upon the
Portland and Monticello route, any amend
Mcnt of which our people have long since
given up all hopes Of cilecting, it says,
with two Senators who will not provoke
the dspleasure of tho Oregon Steam Navi-
cation Company, Delegate formerly in
their employ, and a Postal Agent who ad-
mits his Inability to contend with them, the
people ofPugct Sound mustwaitt till favoring
circumstances will tend to secure them the
privileges they enjoyed some ten or twelve
years ago" Is it not sad commentary
upon Radical abuse of power, when their
own Journals are impclled to rcbukc Iladi-
cal Senators, who have so far forgotten
what is due to their exalted position as to
foster souless monopoly to the total dis
regard of the rights Of the people? Is it
not humiliatins when rabid Republican
journal is constrained to contrast, with evi.
dent sorrow, the condition of the public
service now with what it was under Demo-
cratic rule, some ten or twelve years ago,
and so 10th to admit that anything good can
come, or has come, out of Nazareth? Alas!
the monstrous evil has grown until it has
assumed proportions truly colossal, and
the people cannot be longer hoodwinked by
professions of extreme loyalty" into the
support of men whose every act gives the
lie to their declarations. "Policy men" see
this, and condemn their party leaders, that
they themselves may not be condemned.
1t does seem also, as the Republican says
"that our officc-holdcrs are vicing with
each other as to who can do the most fxn.
kcyism to Her Majesty" All our naval
brass-buttoned gentry have certainly been
paying premium upon British insolence
ever since the present corrupt party came
into power, and hundreds of thousands Of
dollars in public money have gone to feed
tho rapacity of our foreign neighbour
which, if it had been spent upon our OWL
shores, would have placed the Territory
far in advance of what it now is.
These grievances are real They ars
annoying aud detrimental not only to indi
vidual interests, but the community al
large, and subversive of the honor and
dignity Of our Government. We heartily
join in the wish that We may revert to the
happy time alluded to BY our contempora
~ Us experienced under Democratic rule
-bnt we fear it will not return until the
rsins of power are wrested from the hands
of sel6shness and mad fanaticism.

Seeing the Elephant.

A couple of lads in Portugal
City climbed tree outside the
tent to get dead head view
of Forepaugh's circus. What
came Of it, the Register tells as
follows;
'As soon as the elephant was

managers brought him out and
hitched him to the ide cal
tree, from the limbs of which
the lads were viewing he cir

thing looked a little ont O. the
order, but they kept quiet as
death, fearing tina tney would
either lose the closing views Of
the performance, Or be the sub

should discover them dead
heading it to his show. In
due time the performance clos
ed, the crowd dispersed, ard,

the perils OF their situation by
hitching two smaller elephants
and a camel to the same tree.
Our lads now discovered that
they were in for night OF it,
as all hands had left, except
ing only themselves and the
animals on guard below All
hope of escape was now cut off.
About this time, Romeo con-

above him, and with his trunk
commenced trimming out the

commenced bing also, until
they had got above his reach;
and now the camel took up I'll .

New Branch of Southern Industry.
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,

| lEIh "A Elm OI AiOlHlLs
New York, July II, 1859. J
Editor Savannah Republican
Sir-since my arrival in this
city my attention has been call
ed by several gentlemen from
Georgia, stopping at this hotel,
to a new branch of industry
which we have together thor
oughly investigated, and which
we all concur in the belief is
peculiarly adapted to our local
lily or to the State of Georgia in
particular, as the State produ-
ces in rich abundance the crude
material by which the bust
ness is made to flourish. .
1t is nothing less than grind
/ ing, refining and bagging black
oak bark, or quer citron as it
is called. There are several of
these quer citron factories in
operation in and near this city,
two or three of which my friend
and myself have visited. The
capacity of the best style or
most approved kind of these
mills is equal to grinding, re-
fining, and bagging from ten
to fifteen cords of crude bark
per day, or one and a half cords
per hour.
The best grade of quer cit
ron, ground, refined and hagg-
ed, commands a price varying
from $35 to $50, to $40 and
sometimes $50 and 500 per
ton, owing to the supply in
market, though it never reach
es below $50 per ton. One
cord of black oak bark will
yield one ton of ground quer
citron of the best grade, and
will return to the manufacture
er, here, when commanding
but 80 dollars per ton, a net
profit of from 10 to Is dollars
per cord, l learn from Messra.
johnson & Sons, of Astoria,
Long Island a small village
some three miles distant from
this city, who are running one
of these quer citron factories,
who manufacture the mills with
the refining attachment, &C.,
that several of the proprietors
of the quer citron factories in
and near the city are the heavy
drug dealers, who ship the
ground quer citron to Europe,
where it is used for coloring
cottons in print works in place
of Madden, which it is displac-
ing. The demand for home
use and for shipment abroad
calls for all that can be produc-
ed, the demand already being
practically unlimited.
Crude bark or bark in the
slab, for stocking these mills,
collected from the country
along and contiguous to the
Potomac and James rivers,
Virginia, and from the country
along the coast of the Carroll
mas, Georgia and Florida, from
whence it is shipped on board
transports to this city.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as Georgia
abounds largely in black oak
forests all over the State, why
may not our own people partici-
pate in the advantages of this
most profitable branch of indus
try 7? 1t is one of the few
branches of manufacturing en-
terprises they have the capital
for developing on their own &C.
count. Set forth through the
medium of your columns to the
people the remunerative char
acter of this enterprise, and
they will see to it that the ship
ment of crude bark from Geor-
gia to this city is at once put
an end to, and these quer cit
ron mills will spring up every
where throughout the State
where black oak bark in abund-
ance can be procured.
