THE LANGLEY MILLS.
Good Words for Carolina Cottons.

From the New York Journal OF Commerce.l
There is evidently an increasing interest In
the manufacture OF plain cottons at the South,
and the productions from that section will un-
doubtedly soon be found to be In successful
competition with the best Eastern fabrics.
Messrs. W. G. Langley 4 Co., agents, offer q
new make of standard sheetings from the
Langley Mills Of South Carolina, which merit
the attention Of the best buyers.
from the Dry Goods Reporterl
This is new article in standard brown
sheetlngs, made by the Langley Manufactur-
ing Company, near Augusta, Ca, running
10000 spindles and 5000 looms. ills In every
respect worthy of the name OF standard, as
upon examination and critical comparison 1t
Is fully equal 10 the Atlantic A, though sold at
l24 cents. In evenness Of thread, regularity
and clearness of cloth, and general manufac-
ture, It will offer close competion for the
trade In heavy standard sheetlngs, but being
q new ticket and Its worth unknown as yet,
1t has to be distributed widely before 1t
can acquire the desired reputation. The
mills, though In operation for the past six
months, have just fairly introduced their
goods In the market, yet they are pronounced
by those who have seen them as frst-class
article. Being full 36 inches In width, war
ranted to weigh not less than 2s5 pounds, and
selected with the greatest precision, We
bespeak for the Langley Standard SheetiRgs,
at no distant day, 9 reputation second to none,
while we feel confident that no frst-class
jobber can afford to do without them.

The FALLING STARs.-In its annual passage
around the Sun, the Earth arrives at portion OF
its orbit when it usually encounters the shooting
or falling stars, and the 18th and l4th Of Novem.
ber is the period fixed by scieatlac observations
when these curious phenomena may be expected.
They come generally IN retrograde direction to
that In which the Earth Is moving; and In his val
liable work on the subject, Humboldt supposes
that from sixteen 10 one hundred and forty miles
Is the height at which they become visible. The
stars, as has been ascertalned by measurement
by means OF parallo1, move at velocity OF from
eighteen to thirty six miles per second, and at one
lime were supposed 10 be emitted from volcanoes
in the moon, but this is now doubted. These
bodies are also associated with meteoroltes which
are actual masses or iron OF an oblate, spheroidal
form, and have been known to crush men and
animals in their descent upon the Earth's sur.
face. AS the time for these interesting phenomena
Is 80 n, ar at hand. and the wonders which are
being deve oped each day seem to leave nothing
improbable, we deem It our duly to give warning
in time. Look out tomorrow night and prepare
for the worst.

formed that We can give him no very definite
Information concerning them. The new reg,nae
securities, and the popular impression is
that this was done for their own personal ad-
vantage. Whether there has been any IL
gal oVer-issue or not we cannot say, but
there seems to have been very large supply
offered. Previous to the fire at Chicago con-
siderable loans were effected here on these
securities, and when the pressure was felt,
which grew in part out of that calamity, the
bonds were thrown upon the market. The
Stock Exchange, we believe, has had In con-
temptation some investigation of the extent
and character of these issues, and it strikes Ms
that they cannot be too quick about it. At
present the situation is uncertain, and we have
no advice to give. If the State ever energies
from Federal control, and its responsible citi-
zens are allowed to manage its fiscal concerns
and to emancipate themselves from the rule of
carpet-baggers and their ignorant, deluded
followers, 1t is probable that the credit of the
State will come to rest on better basis than
at present.

As OTHERS SEE Us.
Going 1t Blind The Reputation
Boomerang.
The Columbia Union of yesterday says:

The Columbia Union of yesterday says:
The Courier goes 1t blind aud sounds the toe
sin of reputation at the very outset. In its
issue of yesterday 1t berates the News and
accuses 1t of whitewashing the alleged frauds,
because that journal did not fly of upon the
same tangent, and proclaim reputation at
once, on the very questionable rumor publish
ed by that reliable (?) mathematical paper, the
World. The Courier wants no better evidence
of a large-over issue OF bonds than that already
furnished. We ask our readers to call 70
mind the language used by the Union last
Nav, at the time the project Of the Taxpayers
Convention was being agitated. We express
ed ourselves satisfied that the Intention OF tue
Democratic party In this State was to repudl-
ate all that portion OF the debt lot when oonos
have been Issued by the present State Gov
ernment.
This was stoutly denied by the leading
Democratic papers. and none were more out
spoken In denunciation Of reputation than
the Courier. To-day 1t stands just where we
believed it meant to stand last spring. It is
only part of grand scheme to block the
wheels OF the State government If there has
been an over-issue Of bonds, or an illegal In
crease of the State debt, there is more honor
able method of remedying the evil than by
wholesale repudiatlon of securities held by
innocent parties. Why not pursue that better
course. and leave reputation to gamblers who
alone deal with such methods OF paying debts!
II reputation must come, let us have no
halfway work about 1t. The financial world
will hardly be able to understand the very nice
discrimination between the old and the new
bonds. South Carolina spectators may, but
the money lenders of New York will be slow
to appreciate this difference, If there is any.
The Courier may, from Its superior knowledge
of finance, be able to explain this matter salts
factorily to some persons, but there are men
r. Nh@ ~ vN1o
that journal during and after the Taxpayers
Convention. This game Of repudiatlon may
be boomerang. 1t may return to plague
It's inventors.

*Relessed on bond. Negroes, confined lp the

OF the names heretofore published, J. C.
Chambers, j. N. McDlll aud D. N. Stewart
have been released from confinement In
prison. The total number of arrests made
since the 10th ultimo is one hundred and forty
FIVE, of whom one hundred and seven are now
In prison; ninety-seven white men and one
negro being confined in the jail, and ten ne
groes in the guardhouse.
The jail building is, of course, very much
crowded with this number of men closely
confined within Its rooms; but we believe
every possible means Is adopted to Insure the
sanitary condition of the prisoners, and to
render their situation as comfortable as cir
cumstances will permit. Captain Ogden, OF
tue Eighteenth Infantry, who has charge of
the prison, Is assldlous In his efforts to attain
this object; and he and the men under his
command are polite and courteous toward the
numerous persons constantly applying for
permission to visit those In confinement.

During the past week the number OF cases

The reports OF the directors, from the various

many wards the fever was reported as having
entirely disappeared among the applicants for

aud convalescent. Ward g. generally the last
stronghold OF the fever, was reported by the

The World TIckles tho Courier-How
the Bondholders Feol.


The New York World. in Its issue of We'd
nesday, reiterates its statement that, accord
ing to Governor scott's card. the total debt Of
this State is SIS, 900, besides the contingent
debt for railroad endorsements, amounting to
$ls.ooo;0oo more. 1t then says:
This palpable expose Of the trighttul increase
of the State debt has intensified the excite
menb which the drst publication OF the frauds
had engeodered. The people OF the State are
waking m, and are already devising schemes
to project themselves from further thieVery.
The most feasible one Is that OF refusing TO
recognize as valid debt OF the State any bonds
Whatsoever that have been Issued by the scout
administration. The Charieston courier M
r.. "a by the following telegraphic communlcar
ton, sent to gentleman IN this city yesterday
morning.,

"The Charleston courier published TINS morn.
ing strong editorial recommending Inc people
OF the state to repudiate all bonds the Stste has
taaued under Governor SCOTS administration, II
reported frauds prove TO be troe. The article
gives general sat atisfaction."
HOW THE BoNDHoLDERs FEEL.
It was long ago threatened by the taxpay-
ers of the State to repudiate the debt IN the
event that the fearful Increase continued.
Amongst the bondholders here the greatest
excitement prevails, for OF the honest ones
not a man of them knows whether his bonds
are of legai issue or to the contrary, and
even though classed with the valid bonds, they
are vet tormented with doubt as to what
action the people OF the State will take In the
premises. But as 1t is charged that the con-
splrators are the heaviest holders otthe bonds,
1t would notseem that they had much to lose
-nevertheless, the agony Of being obstruceed
on Their royal road to riches must be pecu.
Narly poignant, the more 80 that they must
have seen their anticipations 30 nearly accom-
plished.
