a Peep ct the Value Of Cotton Facto
ries to the South.


The New York Herald las the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the prof.
tableness Of cotton factories in the
South The article is true to the
letter, and it is Reproduced with a
hearty endorsa:ion
" No branch Of industry has prov
ed 50 successful in the Southern
States since the war as cotton facto-
ries-a number of which have within
the past two or three years S, rung up
in Georgia, Alabama and other
States. Instead Of shipping cotton
in bales to Europe and New England
and importing the manufactured ar
ticle at high prices, in several Of the
+ States the cotton IS manufactured
within o few miles OF the plantations,
andtius tho cost Of the export and
/ importation is saved TO the producing
States. One company the GranitoVille
/ Cotton Company, near Augusta, Ga.
last year divided over twenty two
per cent. on their capital between
stockh llers, and even more crafty
liz results have been achieved by
/ other attempts ia the same direction
The Southern press, from these ex-
periments, advocate the erection Of
cotton mills wherever water power
in the cotton-producing region is at
tainabie. Al the States are blessed
with abundant water power, and
there Is no reason why the rivers OF
the South tea years hence should not
be dotted with manufactures like the
rivers Of New England, and abou
them spring up towns swarming Will
honest indutrious operatives New
England has had q monopoly OF the
cotton Iuanuiacture long enough

We welcome to our sanctum the
first number of the Greenyillc Beg
lister issued last Thursday by Messrs.
Alex. T. Blow, and James 7. Lyon,
Editors and Proprictors. In short,
neat, and modest saIntatory they de-
clare their paper to be decidedly
conservative in politics, and it will, no
doubt,prove valuable assistance in
eralicating Rodicallsm from our
sister county. Pitt has long stood
in need Of q live organ, and such q
one we believe Nessrs. Blow and

Special enumarates as the consequent

First-The certain failure Of the
Senate bill to become a law.
SecoaI-Iho propable failure of
any other measure, such as the two
bills passed by the House Of Repre-

0'o000 OF greenback circulate Il,
and the other providing for free
banking.
Third-The rupture of the Repub-
Lean party, with the most disastrous
consequences to them in the Congress
sional elections.
Fourth-The present state of un.
certainty among business men, a
paralysis Of business and the contin-
ued suffering of the debtor class IN
the South and West.
The session Of Congress will pass
away without any beneficial act Of
Legislation for the people.

Commenting on the recent situa-

dent and free State Of Arkansas,
the New York U'6rH uses the fol-
lowing very impressive and striking
language
Through the denial OF home rule
industry in the South, besides the
hampers put upon it elsewhere, has
been paralized through the just fear
that men would not be secure in the
possession Of what fruits it bore
them and while in conquered
France after three years the cham
nels Of industry have have been re-
opened and the waters resumed their
courses, IN the beaten Southern
/ States, after eight years, no man can
/ be secure Of honesty in the making
or Justice in the administration of
the laws, and Brooks and Baxter,

what all this temperance crusade

The New Orleans, Jackson and
Great Northern, the Mississippi Cen
trai and the Illinois Central railroads
have been consolidated under one

Company. AS the line extends from

seen at once that this is a powerful

4 Troublesome Vehicle.
\ Washington telegram says

y w t%oLI-L LOil CCACS all
The famous sixteen hundred dol
La landaulet, which was probably
after all the great obstacle TO Attor-
ney General Williams elected to the
elected to the Chief Justiceship, has
has more trouble in store for him
and his party. After the very
thorough ventilation which the affair
OF ,he landaulet received while Mr..
Williams nomination was pending
before the Senate, its use for private
and social purposes was discontinued
by him and his family. It was too
gaudy turnout to be used for the
official necessities Of the Department
Of Justice, and it was therefore sold,
bringing $4O0 less than it hal cost
the government. It fell into the
hands Of resident of this city, but,
whiIom a Western man, party
who has no love for the Attorney
General, because Of personal reasons.
This gentlemen intends taking the
landauIet to the West, and will at
tend, as far as he can, all the politi-
cal meetings and gatherings Of the
people during the approaching cam
paign. He intends to exhibit to the
people as an evidence OF how their
money is spent to minister to the
pleasure and vanity Of their rulers in
Washington, and will accompany
the exhibition with appropriate re-
marks. The appearance of the Ian
daulet will give the opposition
orators an opportunity to descant
with eloquenoe and effect, and it will
result in the loss Of many vote to
the Republican party.

A Liberated Slave in the Speakers
Chair-The First Negro Presiding
Over the House of Representatives
s Memorable Scenes.
The hall of the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington City during
this session has been the scene Of
events of moro than ordinary histori-
cal interest At the beginning of the
session there came the wierd, atten-
uated form of the Vice President of
the Southern Confederaey, the
cynogure of all eyes. With a grace
as delicate as magnanimous, the
House accorded him the privilege,
extended only to one other, Of select
ing his seat, without the usual form
Of drawing by lot; again, when he
spoke for the first time the House
massed itself about him, eager to
hear every word from the infrm
veteran, and gave him such attention
as has seldom been equalled in our
Congressional halls A few days ago
the eulogy pronounced by L. @. C.
Lamar, of Mississippi, on Charles
Sumner transfxed, as it were, every
one present in the House. The
| Speaker sat with folded arms am.
gaze intent throughout its delivery,
while a silence unbroken pervaded
the chamber. All this was con-
sidered eminently proper. But to-
day the scene, the emancipated negro
sitting in the Speakers chair, pre-
siding over the House of Represen-
tatives, while Judge Parker, of Mis-.
souri,, was making an eloanent appea,
in behalf of civilizing the Indian and
elegating him to citizenship-that is
the scene thot will make the history
of the session memorable in Amerl
can annals. The honor OF presiding
over the House was accorded to
? coIored Representative for the frs
time in the person of Joseph ID
Rainey, the Representative OF th'
First South Carolina district, who
was born a slave in Georgetown IL
1887. During the war he was forced
to work on the Notifications OF th'
confederates in Charleston, from
whence he escaped to the West Indies
returning TO his Dative town at tn
close of the war. He has been
: a member Of Congress several time
= and is highly respectfully the mem
e bers Of this House. 1t was TO thi
. member that the late James Brook
went at the close of the Cred
d Mobilier matter and thanked him fo
the the friendship he had shown hir
: during the discussion, and othe
Il evidences of his esteem, remarkln
= that his conduct challenged his ac
Il miration, and as debt of gratitud
p thenceforth be would be the frien
T Of the colored race.
