SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 49, 1870.
Should the South Manufacture her
s. = h C1ttGn2 r.


An able writer in the KIN. Century
Magazine, writing about "the possible
future of the South" sees in her future
a day Of grand prosperity, aud cites as
tue great cause of that prosperity the
working up and :. anufacture of the raw
material at the South.
He brings the question to figures thus:
lin 1860 Mississippi raised 100000
bales of cotton (40O pounds eash) worth
in round numbers s3e, ,OOO,O 900. In the
same year Massachusetts imported and
manufactured 316,665 bales, realizing
S36,50O,000. Now the number of bales
imported and manufactured by Massa-
chusetts, is to the number produced by
Mississippi as 4 ia to Is about. There
fore had the former State wrought up
all the staple produced by the latter she
would have realized sl44,9OO,OOO. De-
ducting the cost of the raw material, we
have LETT "a gross profit of $1O5 900, 900.
But this cotton was manufactured
somewhere: if not in Massachusetts,; and
paid to those who did SO nearly three
times what it did to the producers"
The writer goes on in beautiful lam
guage to attribute the greater wealth aud
prosperity of the Northern States to the
fact, that they reap all the golden re-
wards of their industry and realize three
times as much profit from our pruduce
as we do ourselves.
He says: "ls not this the reason why,
while the two Earoliuas, which were the
original third and seventh States of the
Union, have fallen into the Twelfth aud
eighteenth positions, Ohio, Illinois, In
diana, and Mis- ouri, Gall OF comparative

and happy skies as well as they and
they gather no richer treasures ro.n the
full bosom of the earth, than burst forth

fashloning their virgin products to the
utmost development, whilst with us. all
is silent; and as the birds of the air
pass over the green swards 10 settle on
the rough, brown seed fields, so the ml
gratory nations pass us by
In conclusion he says; Let the
South raise her own cotton, work up her
own cotton, ship her own beautiful fab
rics, aud then shall she reap the costly
tribute of its value; aud ina thousand
ways, unthought of new her tens Of mil
lions will swell to billions her ships will

heart will quicken all maukind!"

The Woman Question.

~, The women Of Utah take very diff.
ferent view of the woman question from
that which is entertained By the strong
minded of New England. While the
latter are holding meetings and con-
"ea.:ons devoted to :hs object of setting
forth the tyranny of the other sex, tie
females of Utah seem solicitous to pre-
vent the spread of such heretical notions
among themselves. The purpose of a
recent female convention in Utah ap-
pears to have been to avow in the most
emphatic manner the entire subjection
of woman TO men, and to protest against
any relaxation, of the discipline under
which females are controlled. The re-
marks of all the speakers at this singu-
lar Woman's Convention were to the
same point. Harriet Cook Young wan.
ted "the world to know that the women
OF Otah prefer virtue to vice, and the
home of an honorable wife to the gilded
pageantry of fashionable temples of SIM"
Mrs. King declared that the women
wonld not" turn traitors to their hus.
bands, their brothers and their sons"
Mrs Phoebe Woodruff, who has been a
Mormon for ttirty-six years, said they
were "sealed to their husbands for time
aud eternity, aud would not submit to
such an outrage upon their religion as
was proposed in Oolom's bill. Mrs. Pratt
was "willing to let her blood be shed"
for her husband. Mrs. Snow, whose
grandfather was revolutionary soldier.
considered that the women Of Utah have
greater and higher privileges than any
other females on the face of the earth. 4"
Such was the tenor Of the addresses,
showing that. if Congress sets ont to
please all the scx in its legislation upon
the woman quo stion, twill find it q more
puzzling business than any yet under
taken
'rcat Britain the woman question
has been actively canvassed of late
Large and enthusiastic meetings have
recently been held in the leading cities
of England and Scotland, to promote the
comforting of suffrage upon female house
holders or owners of property. At a
meeting held in Edinburgh, our men,
bers of the House of Commons, among
them brother Of John Bright, warmly
contended for female household suffrage.
Last year by virtue of an enactment
made during the administration of Mr.
Disraeli, the greatest Parliamentary re-
former OF the age-seeiug that he did
what others had merely talked of doing
women householders aud property.ow
were allowed to vote at the election of
municipal representatives. In Liver,
pool, 5000 women voted, uud vet q lar-
ger number in Manchester. Married
women are not entitled to vote, their
individuality being sunk in that of their
husbands. So entirely is this the case
that it may be doubted whether, even in
solitary case, married woman in En-
glaad places her maiden name before
that OF her husband Wilmington Star.

RASCALITY PUVESHED.


The recent investigations of Con
gressionaI Committee in reference to the
sale of West Point cadetships have
brought forth practical and exemplary
results. It is one of those exceptional
cases in which rascality IS caught and
punished through the efforts of a con-
gressional investigation. 1t has been
ascertained that not only in the present
Congress but in many preceding ones
there have been members who sold ca
detshiPs in the West Point Military Acad-
emy for money. The committee has un-
earthed unmistakable evidence that
Messrs. Whittemore, of South Carolina,
and De'Yesse, of North Carolina, have
thus disposed Of cadetships controlled by
them and in imminence of expulsion
these individuals have confessed their
guilt by resigning. Golladay. Of Ken
lucky, the virtuous champion Of repudi-
alton, having been likewise inculpated
by General Logan's committee, has de-
teated justice by a still more summary
REIMBURSEMENT Of congressional honors.
It has been ascertained that money was
| paid for cadet appointments made by
Mungen, of Ohio, and Covode, of Penn
sylvania, but these gentlemen deny
having ever received it or had any
knowledge of its payment, and proof has
not been obtained contrary to their as
sertions. One or two other cases arc
now in course of investigation, and we
are glad to know that General Logan
proposes to probe this corruption to the
bottom. Let the rogues, whoever they
may be, have thorough exposure and ex-
emplary punishment,

MARYsvILLR, O., March 5, 1870.
EDS. GAZETTE: We feel a hesitancy
in inditing an epistle from this place.
Not from lack of anything to write about,
but from want of ability to select that
most interesting to your readers. A few
items, however, we viii venture to give.
Mud prevails. What town has not an
abundance of this staple The people
are not wild with enterprise; yet there
are signs of progress. Materials are col
lecting for fine business structure on
the southeast corner Of the Public
Square.
The people, through their generosity,
have provided the Brass Band with a
splendid new set of instruments. In re-
turn it occasionally regales us with an
evening display upon the street. John
Bidwell, assisted by Mr.. Van Horn, of
Delaware, is the leader.
The Union School is among the at
fractions of the place. Indeed we doubt
whether a town in Ohio, of like proper
tions, can boast of a better. Franklin
Wood, Dartmouth graduate of 1881, is
Principal Under his urbane deport-
ment, thorough discipline, and entire de-
votion, the school IS a success. A pleas
antry in school life occurred in awarding
prizes in penmanship at the close of in
structions by c. Mortimer James, of Del
aware. Miss Eldora King won the prize
for greatest improvement May Doolit-
tie produced the best specimen. 0. M.
Scott, formerly of Delaware, Brown
Newlove and Jas. W. Robinson were the
awarding committee. Miss Grove, the
first assistant teacher, also resides in
Delaware.
Lew. Powell, also of Delaware, has a
beautiful set of rooms and practices sur
geon dentistry periodically here. Thomas
F. Arthur, formerly of Delaware county
and recently installed Clerk of Union
county, is a son Of Charles Arthur, of
Delaware, a Commissioner of the county.

to her pre-eminent vocal powers, Mad

and usually accompanies herself. We
may also remark that in the classical
music of Beethoven, Mozart. Schubert,
Schumann, ETC.. as well as in the mod

others, she is alike admirable. When
