WHAT THE SAINTS HAVE DONE
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

The N. Y. Tribunea,e " ma
correspondent under date of Novem-
Der 9th, writes that the new State
Observation-Disclosures save the mark
would go into office the next
week, and that the sold officials,
who have done their best to ruin the
State since they came into power in
1865, will retire with their gains
They are all rich, and most of them
will probably 60 back to their old
homes in the North. They came
with little Oh no other property be-
side their scantily filed carpet-bags
and they will return with diamonds
and fine array, with money, stocks
and bonds, with horses and carri-
ages, and some with large invest
ments in real estate. They found
the State with debt of about five
millions, but with property in rail
road stock and mortgages almost
sufficient to pay her liabilities they
leave behind them as the fruit of
their few years Of administration
debt of nearly twenty millions, and
they have stripped the State of al
most everything she possessed ex-
cept her public buildings and the
lands upon which they stand.

GEN GRANTS THIRD TERM.

The London Economist says
eve do not suppose that the Amer
leans will permit the etiquette about
re-elections 10 be broken in 1876,
but we can see quite clearly that
General Grant will have chance of
a third term, such as his predeces-
sors never enjoyed. The South
will be in his hands, and if the par
ties are even tolerably equal the
President, who, while President car
ries the whole negro vote will be, for
one party or the other, the only I'M
comparable candidate. We may
yet date from this election a real
and considerable change in Ameri-
can politics, for apart from all con-
siderations of personal character, it
has, as we conceive, enormously
strengthened the hands of the Pres
idency itself.

THE MANUFACTURING OF COT
TON.

We like to dwell upon the facts
which indicate the future greatness
of the South, and we invite the at
tention Of all disposed to take the
tide at its flood, to consider the fol-
lowing unquestionable statements:
At a'meeting Of the stockholders Of
the Graniteville Mills IS. CO. in the
spring of 1872 the President pro-
posed to double the capacity of the
mill in three years, and yet pay a
dividend of ten per cent per an
mum.
Can any Northern factory make a
better exhibit The cotton mills of
Augusta and Columbus, Ga, are
doing proportionately well.
The Augusta Mills, with capital
stock of 100000, had in 1870
S400, 900 as surplus fund and com
mcrcial capital after paying quarter
ly dividends of 3 per cent, or 20
per cent. per annum.
1t has been practically demon
strated that cotton can be spun into
yarns at the South for 5 cts pr pound
cheaper than it can be spun in Old
or New England; consequently a
properly conducted mill could make
five cents on each pound of yarn
more than the Northern factories,
which are and have been enriching
their stockholders, and peopling with
teeming thousands the rocky hills of
the East.
Could the entire crop of cotton be
converted into yarns at the South
and shipped abroad in that form it
would add sl50,O00,000 annually
to the wealth Of this portion of the
United States. Foreign mills would
adapt their machinery to working
up the yarns instead of the raw cot
ton. If but one quarter of the crop
could be thus converted it would be
a great blessing to this country, and
enable numbers of women and chill
dren who are now dependent on
others to support themselves.

pEspoTIsM OF CHAOS.

The indications in this country,
saws the Norfolk VWginian, are far
from satisfactory to thoughtful obser-
yers. On one hand we see central
ization advancing with gigantic
strides towards a consolidation of all
the powers of government in the
Federal head, and on the other we
behold the process of Mexicanization
going on. Illustrations of our first
statement are too numerous and OF
too great noteriety for us to produce
them. He who runs may read, apd
the fact referred to is recognized by
all men. We are sorry to add that
the process of Mexicanization is al
most as apparent. For example, iii
Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana.
they have two sets of claimants to
the State governments. The first
has two rival Governors, both claim
ing to be duly chosen by the people.
The second has two Legislatures,
each insisting on its right to pass
laws. In the third they have two
boards of canvassers, each of which
announces a different result in the
late election. To these significant
facts others might be added. but
they, unhappily are ample enough,
when linked with those first men
toned, to show that this country is
trembling between despOtism on
one hand, and Mexican chaos on the
other, from either of which good Lord
deliver us l-Sarannah NeWS.
Similar causes, in the affairs of
men, produce similar results in all
ages and climes.

THE GRANT DYNASTY.

The Lynchburg Republican says:
The Grant party will succeed in es
tablishing itself at the South, partly
by machinery and partly blythe agon'
cy of certain general, popular de
moraliz alton. Protection will be the
keynote of this. A lack of princi'
pies and tone, incident to its condi'
ton, will be it's characteristics. II
will be ripe for speculative enterprl'
SEES of the material sort, and it viii
become in critical times dangerous
element. In word, the reelection
of Gen. Grant makes the govern
ing power stronger than ever; it
equips it with the armor of a vast pop
ular majority ; it puts into its hands
a powerful dependency full of able.
interruptions adventures; and it
gives the head of this power a sug-
gestion, if not an opportunity, for
still further consolidating affairs, by
a union of the political interests OF
the Administration with the money
of the great cities and cor
porations.

HORACE GREELEY.

Fair, impartial, kindly and beau
tiful are the remarks of the n. II.
Union on the life and character of
of Horace Greeley. 1t says:
We have often had occasion to
condemn his political acts and oPin-
ions. In regard to the slavery
question, we believe he was terribly
and culpably wrong, in consequence
of erroneous opinions early acquired,
and which grew upon him to such an
extent that he fost sight of the
modifying conditions, and the per-
lis which belonged to the discussion
of that question. 1t is due to him,
however, to say, that he did what ne
could to avert the catastrophe ne
had provoked, and when he could
not do that, that he labored faith
fully to mitigate its awful calamities.
Like Mr.. Lincoln, he doubtless felt
that the world would hold him res
ponsible for a war which might
have been SO easily, and honorably
prevented, and Ike him, too, he
sought compensation in impartial
history, by policy of magnanimity
and cancellation. And not in vain.
Mr.. Lincoln lived long enough to die
the recognized friend of his late en-
emies, and Mr.. Greeley to work a
miracle upon the Southern heart
We cannot enough regret that nei-
Their had the time and opportunity to
make amends for antecedent errors;
or.-if it is better to say-to heal the
wounds of civil war, however caus-
ed. Whether Mr.. Greeley felt any
personal responsibility or not, his
efforts for Cancellation have been
conspicuous and praiscworthy and
whatever of unpopularity this may
have cost him among the illiberal
and bigoted men of the North, is
more than compensated by the trlb,
utes of affection from the oppressed
and plundered South. His memory
is blessed by the last seven years OF
charity and patriotism; and we do
not doubt that he would, as Presi-
dent, have secured every possible
good, by course of wisdom, justice
and Cancellation.
The profound sorrow occasloned
by his death will be aggravated by
its painful circumstances. We APP
prehend that the two prominent
causes assigned do not cover the
whole ground. The physical and
mental strain occasioned by the sick
ness and death of his wife, and the
untoward result of the election
could scarcely fail to make a deep
impression upon organizations less
sensitive than his was known to be-
In addition to these causes, it must
be remembered that they came up
on him when he was exhausted by
the herculean and brilliant labors o.
the campaign, 1t is natural, too
that he should feel a keen sympa'
thy for the friends involved with
him in the fate of tho Tribune
And perhaps more than his defea
he felt the rebuke of the party he
had created. Like the wounded
eagle,
