So-Called Republicans.

With characteristic cunning, the Scott
Ring strive to hide their sins beneath the
mantle Of Republicanism. AS Republicans
they appeal to the freedmen for their sup,
port, as Republicans they prate OF the Free
Speech and the Free Press which they hate
and dread; while they have no more right to
be considered the representatives in South
Carolina of the National Republican party
than the convict in the penitentiary has to
be regarded as a fair specimen Of the homes
ty and decency OF State. AS Republicans,
the Scott Ring are repudiated and disowned
by the Republican. journals OF the North;
and Republican Congress, when one OBJ
jecting voice was enough to prevent it, re-
moved the political disabilities Of the Reform
candidate for Lieutenant Governor of South
Carolina, and so wished him God-speed |! in
the good work Of giving to South Carolina
government which shall not be an insult
and a reproach to all good citizens. The
Republican masses, in the North, are no
less eager for the overthrow Of the Scott
Ring than are their political leaders and
their party press. What their feelings are,
the following letter-one OF many-from a
Massachusetts, Republican, will show:
BosroN, MASS, August L, 1870.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Though unknown to you, am, with thous-
ands of other true, honest Republican people
of this and other New England States, pleased
at the exposure of the (so-called Republican,
thieves, robbers and murderers, who rule the
gallant people of South Carolina. Would that
every honest and true man, both white and
colored, in the State, could read the noble
speeches which have been made by your Car
penter, Butler and Kershaw.
We all recognize the disgraceful conduct OF
the Scott and Whlttemore crew. Trust them
no longer, for their past course proves that
they will do anything to initiate their purses,
even force your people, both white and color
ed, into the poorhouse. Drive "Scott" from
the public position which he now occupies.
The disgraoeful picture which he has so well
painted Is sufficient to satisfy any honest citizen
of his unworthiness Give "Whlttemore" a
berth in the same ship; advise him to lock his
carpet-bag and leave with the dishonor which
he has SO nobly won, both in South Carolina
and the United States Congress. Beg your
people to stand hard by your Sawyer, Carpen-
ter, Butler and kershaw, and thus elevate
the people from the unmerciful bondage which
they suffer.
Your people are worthy of better treatment.
You can secure 1t by supporting and electing
the men whose names head the Reform ticket.
Scott and whittemore are there for no other
purpose than self.aggrandzement, and fear
that they have. succeeded too well for the
prosperity OF your people.
-. ~. Yours, respectfully,
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1870-08-11

The good wishes of the whole Union are with
US. II we fail to overthrow the Ring of thieves
and imposters, the fault will be that OF the
white people of South Carolina, and theirs
alone. The white men Of the State have q
double duty to perform. They must vote for
themselves, and see that their friends vote
And they must teach the colored voters to
cast their ballots on the side OF good govern
ment and low taxation. No man who does
less than this will do his whole duty.

The stock of cotton held by Manchestei
spinners at the mills, is now 40, 900: sam.
time, 1869, 5000 bales.
In connection with the receipts anf
stocks of cotton, the following article
from the Boston Post on the subject OF
the home consumption will be interesting
to both holders and buyers:
According 10 the New York .MfDDfno
Lists annual statements of the cotton
crop, the quantity of cotton taken for
home consumption North of the Potomac
for the five years 1867 to 1861. was
3,3l5, 600 bales, an average of 663. 600
bales per year, and II, $50 bales per week.
The Shipping List was the standard au-
thOrity; its statistics unquestioned: and
the fact that nearly the whole crops prior
TO 1901 went through the ports; giving
opportunities to obtain correct details at
each port, affords strong presumption
that the results above presented were
substantially correct. The weekly rate
of Northern consumption of cotton for
those five years, 1880 bales, of $50
pounds each, is worth noticing. The
highest rate was in lS59-6O, when the
Northern mills took 7S6, 52l bales tout of
4 commercial crop of 1875, 40 bales).
This was in excess of the cOmsumption
a part being carried over a mill stock. AT
that time cotton was used freely for up-
holstcTy and other purposes than spinninl.
The spinning probably consumed not
more than 725, COO bales, or about 1000
bales per week, the maximum rate before
the war.
1t was generally agreed among manu-
facturers in lS60-61, that the average
yarn produced in our mills was about Ne.
twenty or twenty-One. Many mills
worked chiefly on No. fourteen warn in
.hc manufacture of drills, heavy sheetinrs.
&c Last year the average, as shown bv |
'etums from ninety-nine per cent of all |
he Northern spindles was No. twenty |
light and half, so largely had the pro- |
iuctiOn of print-cloths and other light |
FOODS increased, displacing in large de- |
5ree that of heavy goods, which has
diminished for both export and home
ISe. Assuming the average number of
arm at twenty-one before the war, ard
low at twenty Eight and half, il follows
hat about seventy-fOurperc cent of the IA
90 bales then required for largest spinning
ate, or 1876 bales per week, would
upply the same number of spindles then
unning, and that to consumenow IA, 500
ales of equal weight would require forty
