LNDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.

There are three cotton mills in Augusta, Ga, and
three more have recently been started in Columbus
Ga all of which are yielding liberal profits. The
shares of mill i'll Augusta sold lately Ior double
their par value.
An important series of trials has recently been
made in England to raise snnken bodies by means
of improved kinds of inflated pontoOns Ia one iu-
stance an iron body weighing seven tonswas brought
10 the surface by single pontoon. the latter having
been inflated by means of an inlet pipe and small
air machine worked by hand from the
surface of the water The pontoons can he attached
10 any body which Is ut depth To which divers can
descend and it is believed will be seTyiceable in

The system Of industrial partnership adopted by "A

remains this balance is divided between capital
and labor. each part taking share. How mach the
balance will be depends ON the state of trade the
judcious use made of the invested capital and.

The last annual dividend at these works gave each
puddlor S9O in addition To the current wages which
he had received. This plan was adopted, with sOme
notifications in New-Y0rk carriage factory, but
was abandoned about year ago when the men EN-
pOyed therein struck for h Cher wages and thus dis
solved the compact between them aud the proprie-
tors.

0ne-Slded Magnanimity.

Among the newspapers which have ex-
pressed astonishment at the refusal of
the negroes to trust in and unite with
the Southern Democrats, none have been
more persistent than the Richmond En-
qltirer Yet day or two ago that journal
began leading editorial by saying that
'the supreme, positive and practical issue
in this canvass is that of the control OF
our State government by the white men
or by the negroes; and in the same ar
ticle it said: .aa
at is natural, of course, that every
white man in the State, who has any re-
gard for the inherent and insuperable su-
periority of his race to the negro race,
should for that reason. if for no other,
contemplate with revolving horror the
asceudency of the black man in the man
agement Of the public affairs of Virginia
And even if it could be demonstrated
that the negro is capable of performing
the functions Of the highest offices OF the
State and Of the country there would be
an unconquerable aversion to elevating
him to such positions on the part of all
men of the other race who have not be-
come SO much accustomed to an affilia-
ton with negroes as to have forgotten
that there are ineradicable differences
between them"
We do not return to this subject again
for the purpose of arguing the injustice
of these sentiments, but simply to give
the Southern Democrats an opportunity
to explain their own queries as to the an
tipathy of the negroes. The person, of
whatever race, who is intelligent enough
to read an implied Indictment of himself
such as these extracts contain, would be
stupid indeed not to feel that the writer
of them was his most thorough foe, So
cially and politically. So longas these
are the sentiments of the Southern Dem
ecrats, wherever the negroes have ma
iority of voters they cannot be expected
to do otherwise than to vote for anything
or anybody that may be set up in oppo-
sition. They may be blind to the low
moral character of their friends-for
their early educations were quite gener-
ally neglected, if we recollect the condi-
ton of southern society before the w}4F-
but, possessing some, if not all of the
emotions of humanity, they are not apt
to turn the. other cheek when one is
smitten. @

The Position of Colored Citizens.

The Republican, with its usual effronte-
ry, after failing to establish the existence
of black mans party; after lying about
the editors of this paper, and then not
having manhood enough to take its false
assertions; after answering our queries
by asking us if we were satisfied" Ito
which we reply by gentle negative has
the audacity and inconsistency to say
one day that it is glad there is no black
mans party and the next day "the Re
publican has killed and buried it beyond
even the hope of a resurrection"
This is certainly refreshing. The Re
publican kill anything!! Unsupported by
Government, it and it's hirelings would
not have an atom of power in this COM
munity 1t made distinct charge against
certain colored men, that they were form
ing a separate organization based on color,
which we contend they had perfect
right to do if they see fit. 1t failed to

1t Gen. Spinner is right, we must re-
ret that the feeble virtue of the average
Congressman is exposed to new tempta-
on. 1t will aggravate the anguish Of
iov Morton, for instance, and other
,rdy penitants, who held on to their
mare as long as they could, and turned

nat the conflict between avarice and con
cience, between the good angel, so to
,peak, and the devil, must be fought over
gain every day. To the public, however,
len. Spinner's discovery makes no differ
nee. We care very little for the money,
considered simply as money. The coun-
ry can afford to lose, if it is necessary,
The million and half appropriated for

Who is willing to share in the plunder.
Nobody Except Mr.. Carpenter) pretends
hat member OF Congress is compelled
TO take the Back Pay. Law or no law,
any man is at liberty to put the money
into the Treasury. to leave it there as
long as he lives, and to bequeath it to the
United States in his will. Nay, if Con
Sress cannot find way of disposing of
the appropriation, any member can surely
pay over his share to the conscience
iund; OF they can all do as one of their
is reported to have done-namely,
invest it in United States bonds. and
cause the bonds to be Cancelled at the
Treasury. What we want is to find out
just how many of our legislators have
honor and honesty enough to put this
money forever out of their reach. As
for those who prove deficient in honor
and honesty, it is worth all it costs to
find them out
We may add that Gen Spinner's theory
seems to us erroneous The appropriation
for Back Pay has already been expended
When the money has been drawn from
the Treasury, and handed over to the
Congressman or his agent, the transac-
ton is closed What the Congressman
does with it afterward is another matter
If he turns it into the Treasury he does
not thereby convert it into an unex-
pended appropriation, but he makes a
free gift to the United States; and if
there is any doubt as to the right of the
United States to accept such a gift, the
matter can easily be settled by legisla-
tion. .,..

1t is a silly falsehood, if it be not ma

attribute the negros demand for civil

The Story of David and Goliath.

The Cumberland Ne,Os of August goth
says: -..5.. -s..F
While on the Union Grove camp
ground yesterday and present as spec
tator at the children's meeting, an anus
ing incident came under cur observation.
An eloquent divine-whom we will desig-
nate as the Rev. W-was addressing the
boys, and sought to impress upon them
the idea that each one was capable of ac
complishing some great or good act
To illustrate his proposition he related
the story OF Jack, the youth who killed
the giant on the bean-stalk, and made
Jack out quite hero. evidently deeply
interesting his youthful hearers The
interest, however, was dashed when the
minister remarked that the only draw
back to the story was that it was not
true. He then asked: "Boys, do YOU
believe the story?' With one accord the
lads cried out, NO, sir no, sir!b" The
minister then said he would illustrate his
idea with another story-from the Bible
this time-and related, with all the em-
bellishments of detail, the remarkable
account of how the youth David slew the
giant Goliath with n sling, and thereby
assisted in vanquishing hostile army.
The boys were again deeply interested,
and listened patiently through the reci-
tai: When he had concluded it,, the
minister again inquired, Nov, boys, do
you believe that storyF With one ac-
cord the lads again shouted, No, sir no,
sisas The apparent discontinue of the
reverend gentleman did not detraeta a bit
from the amusement with which the in
cident was received by the older persons
present. Although he quickly and neat
iy escaped from his embarrassment. we
concluded that when he wants to ''illus-
trate any more to the boys, the Rev.

Where the balmy breezeS blow,
Where the butterfly takes wing,
Where the aspens dropping grow,
Where the young birds chirp and sing

Always tO maintain the right,
Always with stubborn heart

And am weary, let me go.

Everywhere a love of gold,
Nowhere pity for the poor.
Everywhere mistrust, disguise,

Draw the curtain, close mine eyes,

Bravely lead the COED cause on,
Fighting in the which l fall.

Wild grapes scent the sunny brake;

Butterflies float in dream,

Purple asters bloom and thrive,

have their infamous record on these dead
