SOUTHERN MANuFAcruRrsa INTERESTS.
whilst there is great prostration in
the manufacturing establishments Of the
North and West, it Is learned that o
large share Of prosperity is attending the
manufacturing interests of some Of the
Southern States. The great Tredegar
works at Richmond, Va. which were
badly crippled by the panic, are again
getting well under way, having rscentlv
received several large orders, one from
Cuba being for q considerable number Of
railroad cars. As consequence the
force Of workmen at the Tredegar is be-
ing considerable augmented. Columbus
Ga, ia now running 5000 cotton and
$500 wooden spindles, all the capital EN-.
ployed being Southern. The mills in
that city are being run on full time, and
the orders are constantly in excess Of the
product. In addition, Columbus has
large founderies and machine shops in
successful operation. The Scofed roll
ing mills at Atlanta, Ga, have just re-
ceived an order for one thousand tons Of
steel capped rails for the Montgomery
and Mobile railroad, with assurance Of
another similar order, provided satisfac.
ton is given. These are only few Of
the many evidences of the success attend

Congress Yesterday.

Both Houses of Congress adjourned
Wednesday until the 9th of January,
In the Senate, Mr.. Carpenter, of Wis
consin, was chosen President pro
tempore TO preside in the absence Of
the Vice PRESIDENT, he receiving 80
votes to 16 for Mr.. Thurman, of Ohio.
The House resolution for recess was
agreed to-. Protests from the Common
Council of Rochester and the Board of
Trade Of Oswego, against the Recip-
rocity Treaty, were presented and re-
ferred. A bill was introduced by Mr..
Hager, of California, for the relief OF
banking associations issuing gold
notes. The Naval Appropriation bill
was received from the House and re.
ferred. Mr.. Morton offered resolu.
ton recognizing the validity of the
credentials of Pinchback as Senator
elect from Louisiana, and directing
the committee on Privileges and Elecr
tions to inquire IL he is entitled to ad
mission on the prima facie case thus
lnaGs Objections being made by Mr..
Thurman, the resolution went over.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned.
In the House, resolution from the
Election Committee was adopted, de-
claring, In the Arkansas contest of Bell
against Snyder, that Snyder, who is
the sitting member, Is entitled to the
seat. Various land and railroad bills
were reported and referred, on points
of order, to the Committee Of the
Whole. Mr.. Maynard, of Tennssee,
moved to 60 to the Speakers table, for
the purpose of taking up the Finance
bill passed by the Senate. This was
resisted by the Democrats, under the
lead Of Mr.. Randall, because the Civil
Rights bill and other measures objee-
tionable to them would3be reached be
fore the Finance bill. After consider
able debate and parliamentary strs-
tegy, it was finally agreed to make the
Finance bill the special order for the
7th of January. r:4-t

whatever to the amount of currency
| the National Banks, old and new,
may issue in excess of the eighty-flve
million dollars of legal-tenders to be
redeemed. To this extent, therefore,
it is measure of imitation, and fur
ther and more serious danger lies in
the facts ELECTED by Mr.. Bayard that
no provision is male for canceling the
eighty-fiYe million dollars of legal
tenders to be called in. When he asked
MIR. Sherman what was to be done with
them, all that the latter vouchsafed to
say was that he left them where the
law left them. They would be held,
therefore, like the old forty-four mil
lion las reserve" and might be reis-
sued by the Treasury at any time. Mr..
Bayard called the bill "a juggle and
double faced bill" 1t is both, and
the determination of Mr.. Sherman to
choke off debate, and force its adop-
tion at once, is the best proof that 1t
will not bear criticism. insignificant
matters are discussed in Congress for
days. The most important measure OF
the session was rushed through the
Senate under whip and spur. We are
glad to note that Senators Thurman
andHamilton both strenuously objected
to the indecent haste with which Mr.,
Sherman has put this more than suspi-
cious bill on its passage

have been told that the Rev. gentleman and
some of his friends talked the matter over on
the public square until near IL o'clock, or
until near the early hours of the morning.
Mr.. Coombe hearing of the truth of his
statements being questioned by Mr.. Stearns,
invited him to public discussion on the sub
iect of Local Option. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and bills printed at once inviting the
people to the discussion. Thursday evening
came, and with it full house, the Court room
being crowded. The discussion commenced.
NJ. Stearns led off-Mr. Coombe giving him
