Judge Bryan leaves for Charleston
This morning. lie has done much to
mitigate the wrath that the Balti-
more ex-Know Nothing Judge Bond
was anxious to pour ont in lavish
abundance upon the accnrsed kn-
Klux. Some Northern lcttcr-wrtcrs
have sought to deprceiate Judge Bry-
ans judicial grasp and legal attains
ments. but they overlook the fact
which has been stated to us, that no
one of Judge Bryan's decisions has
yet been reversed. This is . bright
judicial record. In the trials just
ended, we feel that Judge Bryan has
done all for our people and his people
that conscience and Judgment would
allow him to do. He leaves the city
with the good wishes of many friends.
AS for Judge Bond, we are candid
enough to say that VIC have no use for
such governmental or party pumps,
with or without the handle. 1t is not
our fault that we deem this Bond q
bad issue" IN leaving us for Balti-
more, we regret that be did not carry
with him Messrs. Corbin, Chamberlain,
tho "virtuous" Jackson, and, the wit
ness, Gum, that went off SO easily
whenever directed in certain way

A party was arrested Thursday, at
Augusta, Geo. in possession Of an axo,
spade and rod. The Constitutioanlist
Of that city, thus describes the rod 4:
1t is 4 stick, forked at one end. Be-
tween the fork is secured a small vial,
tightly wrapped around with cord.-
What was contained in the vial was
not ascertained. M. Stallings in
formed the police officers that by the
assistance Of this mysterious rod and
vial, he had discovered s1G50 Of bur,
led gold, and that nothing would in
duce him to part with it. We under,
stand that he was offered $1,000 !or
it by one party, which offer, however,
he refused. Several persons who saw
the rod assert that there is no doubt
abont its being attracted toward any
gold in its vicinity.

Encourage New Factories.

By the law of Maine, 1icn cotton and
wooden factories are exempt, for ten years,
from State and county taxes: The city
of Portland exempts acec manufacturing
enterprises from taxation for 4 similar
period. Bangor, Lisbon, Lewiston, and
other towns in New England, offer SINH
lar inducements to nctc n!ahuta"' .,,,, ..
enterprises. This is true also of ~ manS
other New England Sta.es and towns
The eifcst u Ills, as Exhibited in New
Ene'ah-. =, as might ,ye expected, is to
..nulate new manufacturing cnterpri-
ses, and encourage the investment Of
capital IN that direction to develop and
sustain skilled labor, bringing large
.,ccumulations to the wealth of these
cities and States. Itisa fact. we'll known
to our community, that the Augusta
factory distributes, in expenses, wages,
repairs, etc, the aggregate amount OF It's
capital in ttrO gears 0nd nn!c mot'"S.
Here is gain to the community-a clear
gain from manuGacturing-of the differ
ence between the raw material and the
manufactured article. The collateral
taxes growing out of these disbursements
more than compensate for the temporary
nostponement of tho direct tax in the
beginning; and the buildings, maGhln, r.
erv, ETC., form so much fixed capltal-ln
many instances, drawn from other states
and will forever remain as q part Of the
accumulated wealth of the state, SO
long as high tariffs prevail, and until our
accumulated capital becomes sufficient 10
cope with the richer coil porations OF New
England, the State and the cities of the
State should encourage such enterprisess.ln
every legitimate manner. IttiXescapittoiI
within the State which otherwise would
seek investment probably beyond the
State, and attracts capital from abroad.
If New England finds such a policy
Profitable, certainly Georgia will find 1t
equally so. We hope our Legislature
will profit by the example which Ne"
England shrewdness furnishes.-C"fon-

INCREASED RATES OF FREIGHT,
Many of our citizens have long desired
the railroad lines from Charleston to the
mountains to be under one control ana
management, in the hope that freights
and passengers could and would be
transported with more regularity, celerl-
ty and cheapness. But it. seems now,
from information before us, that our
people are likely to be disappointed.
with the news of the pur-
chase of Il controlling interest in the
Greenville and Columbia II. +. by the
South Carolina Railroad, and the lease OF
the Blue Ridge R. r. to the same, comes
q new tariff of freights so increased as to
cause severe comment and dissatisfaction
among the business community. We
append com parative statement to show
our meaning, viz:
Freights under old tariff, from Ander-
son to Pcndlcton, per 100 lbs, average
l2cts. Average under new tariff, IS cts.
From Anderson to Walhalla, Old -
cts. new 81 cts. average.
Bale of cotton from Pendieton, old 81
cts. news S1.0O.
The difference here given is upon an
average of the several classitications OF
freight, but we learn that a greater in
crease has been made in some important
classes. We trust Col. Dodamead Will
correct this Immediately, before trade IS
diverted elsewhere, if within his power.

Shipment Of Grain South.

The Baltimore Gaze'te says that
.aduring the latter part OF the past
year the shi ipmentS OF grain from
Baltimore to the South, for which
there is usually a heavy demand, have
been comparatively light. This fact
is attributable TO many causes. The
average grain crop at the South this
year has been good, and, i'll consc-
qncnce of the low price of cotton III
1870, more corn was planted. Ih"
reduction of freight, too, upon the
Georgia Central Railroad, and the
roads connecting with it, have led to
direct shipments from St. Louis rio
Nashville and Chattanooga, and much
Of the upper country of Alabama,
Georgia and South Carolina is thus
supplied. 10 these causes may be
added. the uncertainty and constcrna-
ton caused by General Graut's hu-
Klux proclamation, which para'yzed
business in many portions Of country
not directly affected by the suspension
of the writ of haJeus corpus. 1t is well
known that in many instances country
merchants have returned the goods
purchased by them in the packages
in which they were shipped, with the
statement that, in the existing state OF
affairs, the conduct of business, upon
any reasonably safe basis, was impos-
sible, What demand, therefore, has
been for grain, and especially for In
dian corn, from the South since Sep
tembor, has been principally confined
70 the local demand for The principal
Southern scaports. While, however
this has been the case with the South
crn trade in grain from this port, the
rado has been very active"
