A SymPathizing Jury Takes sides
With His Alleged Wife.

A SymPathizing Jury Takes sides
With His Alleged Wife.
New York Sun, July p.
The ROddy-Shotwell trial was finish
ed yesterday in the General Sessions.
The prisoner appeared in the early
morning, attired in her only suit of
black, and was, in common with the
spectators, required to listen for
while TO the testimony Of one Max
Friedman. Max had been in negotia-
ton with the prisoner about her bust
ness in 1872, and testified to thethreats
made by her against Gen. Roddy and
his family.
After this the defence called several
witnesses in sur-rebuttal, and the pris-
oner having been recalled, formally de-
MED all the material points made
against her.
Mr.. Sullivan, prisoners counsel be-
gan to sum up at Ills A. NJ. He was
held strictly to the time allowed by the
court, half an hour, during which he
delivered an eloquent and impassioned
address to the Jury, in listening to
which all IN the court room were greatly
affected, and several of the jurors could
not restrain their tears. Ex-Judge
Fullerton, Cor the prosecution, although
very particular to shut Mr.. Sullivan off
when his thirty minutes expired, spoke
fifteen minutes beyond his allotted
time, and got very hoarse in his de-
mands that the prisoner should be
found guilty.
Judge Sutherland charged the jurors
elaborately, occupying an hour and a
quarter. The general effect of the
charge, so far as it was Ineligible, was
an argument for the conviction Of the
prisoner. But the jurors were unaf-
fected. They read over the letters sub
mitted to them, laughed and joked
about the fervid love professed by Gen.
Roddy for Miss Shotwell, and at length
sOlemnly fled into court with verdi,
Of mot guilty" A hundred court off,
GERS could not have suppressed the We
hement cheering which followed the
announcement of the verdict. Judge
Sutherland looked angry, and pounded
his desk. The jurors, after their dis
charge, slowly walked from the room,
and, IN turn, shook the hand of Mrs
ROddy or Miss Shotwell, who had
word Of thanks for each one of them.
The prisoner went back to the Tombs,
escorted by her counsel, because her ar
rangements about bail are not per-
fected. There Is remaining against
her a charge Of perjury, because in her
divorce suit she swOre that Gen. Roddy
married her. 1t IS not probable that
any criminal court will hereafter be
called upon to determine the relations
of the principals in this sO-called lar
ceny prosecution.

COTTON MANUFACTURES.
The other Side Of the Picture-WOrds
of Encouragement for the South.
N-c,r VOL p,5Iatfp Trlv %

New 1Ork Bulletin, July =.
To induce parties in Georgia to erect
cotton mills, a southern writer the
other day compiled a table Of dividends
declared by some Of the leading East
ern cotton and wooden mills IN 1873.
This table showed that % out of AZ
companies divided from 10 to 80 per
cent. each. In order that the South
may not be too envious on account of
these enormous profits, the BOstORJOHr-
nal undertakes TO picture what 1t calls
the other side of the history of manu-.
featuring IN thatl sectiOn-the losses
and sacrifices occurring during the
history OF these mills before these
profits were found. Some of those
mentioned as making such dividends
In 1873, we are reminded, lost their
whole capital at other times and had to
organize anew. The stock of others,
paid IN at 81 900 a share, sold at $50 in
1857. The Chicopee had its capital cut
down in 1860 from 100000 to $4,000
by impairments; and so on through the
list. Still, these unpleasant reminis-
cences need not discourage men from
engaging In cotton manufacture, for
there are ups and downs. lights and
shades in all business, and the success
of the mills at Augusta, Ga, and
other places in the cotton country,
shows clearly that with economical
management it Is very profitable to OPP
crate such manufactures in the South,
where all the expense of transpOrta-
ton Of the raw material is saved.
New York SIM. July %
The results Of the Augusta cotton
factory enterprise are such as to en-
courage the Southern people to further
efforts in manufacturing. The de-
pendence of the South on the North
for manufactured products was shown
strikingly during the war, when, with
cotton in abundance, the wealthiest
citizens were obliged to purchase at
enormous gold prices clothing brought
over in blockade runners, while the
poorer classes wore the toughest of
homespun. Since the war several
praiseworthy efforts have been
made by Southern capitalists to render
their section independent. The most
successful Of those enterprises is the
Augusta cotton factory, started soon
after the war. Only sixty thousand
dollars were ever paid in, and the COM
pany has paid out in dividends Sl,O6o,-
600, mas property worth Sl,200,O00, at
the lowest calculation, and a surplus
Of S265.S70. During the fiscal year
Just ended the company has expended
$3.50. 900 for new machinery and for the
enlargement and improvement of the
buildings. Yet Georgia only consumes
p 900 bales Of cotton IN her mills,
about one-tweDtieth part Of her own
crop. while most of the other Southern
States are without cotton mills, and
have to send thsir whole crop else
where TO be manufactured.

THE GRASSHOPPERS IN EAST
TENNESSEE
Knoxville Chronicle. July ..


From a gentleman Just from Jacks
boro', Campbell county, we learn that
the grasshoppers have made their APP
pearance in that neighbOrhOod and are
devouring everything green that comes
IN their way. He says that about one
fourth of a mile from JacksbOrO, to the
north Of the place, he saw a stretch of
country about one-fourth Of a mile
wide. and from ~ half to one mile long,
which was covered so thickly with them
that he could not laysdown his walking
stick without touching one Of them.
They were travelling slowly westward,
and are eating up everything before
them. He says they are a different
kind Of grasshoppers from any he has
ever seen, and that they have a red
head.
We learned last night, from Sheriff
Gossett. that the grasshoppers are very
bad in the neighborhood Of Mr.. George
w. Mabry's place, about SIX miles west
of this city, and that Mr.. Mabry, with
the assistance of a number Of men.
were trying to keep them from crossing
the road out of a wheat field into his
cornfelds. We trust that the plague
Will not become to be genera. in East

"a Rebels RecollectiOns," in the Atlantic.
In New Orleans, soon after the war, l
saw in drawing-room, one day, an .elabo-
rately framed letter, of which, the curtains
being drawn, l could read only the sigma
ture, which, to my establishment, was that
of Gen. Butler.
'sWhat is that ?" asked Of a young gem
tlewOman l was visiting.
''Oh, that's my diploma, my certificate OF
good behavior, from General Butler" and.
taking It down from the wall, she permitted
me TO read 10, telling me at the same time
its history. II seems that the young lady
had been very active in aiding captured Con-
federates to escape from New Orleans, and
for this and otbef similar OffenSes she was
arrested several times. A gentleman
who knew General Butler personally
had interested himself in behalf Of her and
some of her friends, and upon making an
appeal for their discharge received this per
sOnal note from the commanding General,
i'm which he declared his willingness TO dis
charge all the others. sBut the black-eyed
Miss B." he wrote, '1seems to me an incor-
rigible little devil whom even prison fare
wont tame" The young lady had framed
the note, and she cherishes it yet, doubtless.

AN ESCAPED CONVICT GLAD TO
GET BACK.
Dyersburg Irogress, July ,.

DNeISDlIE IIogfess' july 80
On last Tuesday white convict es-
capped from the camp near this place,
where a number Of them are at work
on the P & NJ. railroad, and made his
way to Hale's Point, on the Mississip-
pi river. Here the convict broke intoa
trading boat, stole lot of goods, and
stealing a skiff, he got into it and
started down the river. He was pur-
sued by several parties, also in skiffs-
who finally caught him. 1t should be
remembered that Hale's point IS in
Lauderdale county, and that thieves in
that county generally hang to the first
convenient limb. The capturers con-
Guided co treat the convict In this ex-
petitions manner. The fellow, how
ever, told them that he was a convict,
and begged to be brought back to the
camp at this place. After many en-
treaties he was brought to this place
and given up to his keepers. He lacked
onlytwo months of serving out his term
in the penitentiary. He Will now have
to serve six months more, making eight
months he has yet 10 serve.
