Editorial Notes.

energy and enterprise IN gathering news
from every quarter of the globe deserves
especial consideration. 1t has met with
unexampled success, and has a brilliant
and useful career within its grasp.
India used to send her millions of bales
of cotton to England for manufacture !;
now, England is sending her cotton ma
chinery to India, where the raw material
is manufactured into yarns and fabrics.
The Southern States have sent their cot
ton to Old England and New England
for manufacture now, the manufactu-
rers of New England, at least, are ready
to send their machinery to the Southern
States, where cotton manufacturing pays
better and promises more permanent re-
suits.
The Spartanburg Herald expresses the
opinion that Gov. Chamberlain should
lose no time in pushing up the prosecu-
tions of the other members of the ring,
who are equally guilty as Parker, if he
would retain the confidence of the Con-
servatives who have stood by him in the
fight he has been making against the
official plunderers. This opinion is gain
ing ground throughout the State, which
proves that the people are much inter
ested in the conviction of public robbers,
if Gov. Chamberlain is not.
The Grecnville Enterprise and Moun-
taineer says ''the great want of William
ston in the summer time is accommoda-
ton for visitors from the lower portion
of the State; and a large hotel conve-
niently located and properly kept would
no doubt secure to it many visitors who
now pass through, and we hear that such
an one is in contemplation. If no pri-
vate party will undertake the enterprise,
we think the property owners and busi-
ness men would promote their interests
by combining and furnishing the neces-
sary capital" The suggestion made by
our contemporary is good one, which
we hope the good people of Williamson
will seriously take into consideration.
There is no good reason to prevent a
constant influx of health and pleasure
seekers at Williamson during the sum-
mer, except the lack of ample hotel ac-
commodations.
Ex-Governor Vance, of North Caro-
lima, in his recent address before the
Southern Historical Society, related a
secret incident of the war between the
States. Soon after the failure Of the
Hampton Roads Conference, he was Wis
tied by the late Gov. Graham, of North
Carolina, who stated to him that many
of the Senators and Representatives IN
the Confederate Congress, and other
leading men from the South, who be-
lieved that the end of the war was near,
and who despaired of securing peace
through President Davis, were anxious
for Mr.. Vance, as Governor of North
Carolina, to enter into separate terms
with President Lincoln, in order that
other States might be induced to take
part in the movement for the cessation OF
hostilities. Gov. Vance said that he de-
clined to take the desired step. The
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel demands
that Governor Vance give the LANES OF
these men, some of whom may now be
chosen leaders of the people they were
willing to betray.
The financial prospects are truly dis
couraging, and the number OF failures
which have occurred within the last two
weeks point to another panic of immense
proportions. All that is now wanted to
complete the disaster is the same distrust
and lack of confidence exhibited two
years ago, and the people of the North
and West will feel its terrible effects
The failure of the Bank of California was
followed in rapid succession by large
number of notable collapses, both IN
this country and in England. None OF
these failures seem to be dependent upon
each other, and the causes arc quite va
rious. Speculation is at the bottom, OF
course, and the Northern States are not
vet recovered from the terrible shock OF
1873. Gloom, dependency and disaster
in commercial and manufacturing circles
renders the situation there extremely
desperate. Thousands are out of en-
ployment almost in every section, ant
the winter prospects are alarming for the
poorer classes. The Southern States are
less likely to suffer than any other locall
ty, and the man who can keep his heat
above the tide, with his family in com
fort, may be considered blest in these
chaotic times.
