TEE CAnELn.

The Cattells it appears managed the
Secretary Of the Navy and the Navy De-
partment in everything that involved
contracts, claims, jobs or speculations'
Not only did they run the entire navy de-
partment, but they grasped at other pat
ronage through the influence Of Robson
and Grant. The approved security" the
Secretary boasted of having for the money
be had taken from the Barings whose
capital, character and credit was establish
ed all over the world, was the rotten con-
cern of A. G. and E. G. Cattell. These
men we're secret partners Of Robson and
were instrumental in procuring the dis
missal of the Barings in order to get con-
troll of the navy fund abroad. If net in
reality partners they were beneficiaries in
all the transactions which passed through
that agency. Their long success embol-
dened them to abandon some of their early
precautions. The white washing Of
Rebeson and the favor extended to him by
the Naval Committees Of Congress in ex-
cessive appropriations, turned their heads
and almost justified the conviction that
there never would be a day of reckoning
The tidal wave of 1874, however, swept
away that delusion in part, and although
efforts were made to put the department
in trim for the meeting Of Congress, the
investigation now going on will show up
the thieving combination in it's true light
and ought to send the principle. to the
penitentiary.

SOUTHERN COTTOE MAEUFAC-
TURING,

The monthly report ofthe Department
of Agriculture for the months Of March
and April, 1875, is full Of matter Of great
interest to the agriculturalist. From it
we lea1n that there has been gratifying
steady progress Of cotton manufacturing
IN the country, especially in the South.
The department has labored for years to in
iuce the South to make yarns and coarse
oo,tons to the extent of one-third Of the
crop and another third for the finer
fabrics made in the North, and leave only
a third instead of more than two-thirds for
foreign consumption, and the Department
has the satisfaction to know that such q
state of things has been brought about
The largest pro6tsnow enjoyed in cotton
manufacturing are realized in the South
The number of spindles reported in opera
ton in the South ini 1869 was 225,o0o
262,OO0 in 1874, and to 48l, 1921 in 1875
The quantity ofcotton used has reached
67,733, l4O pounds, about O. per cent o
the amount produced. Ere lorg the an
nual products of industry in the Sontf
will reach the value of five dollars 70
every one now produced, and heavy ex
ports of manufactured cotton will be mad
to every country in the world, including
England.

COOLIE TROUBLE ANTICIPATED

There are grave reasons to ter serious
disturbances in San Francisco at no dis
tant day. The South San Francisco Anti
Coolie Club and the Young Mems Univer-
sal Reform Society, have passed resolu-
tions endorsing the destruction of Antioch
and advocating a similar course in San
Francisco, unless the Federal Government
should take immediate steps to abate the
evil.. of Chinese immigration. The above
named associations opplaud the destruc-
ton of the Chinese quarters at Antioch,
and have made highly incendiary speeches
in which they boast that plenty of arms
and ammunition are in readiness for them
While such talk and actions are reprobated
by the great mass Of the citizens, there is
no doubt of their meeting the approval o.
large and dangerous class Of persons.
