Cotton factories and cotton seed mills are
constantly increasing in the South. A little
establishment near Westminster, Ca, OF
which the machinery cost $4,000, turns out
about s27 worth OF manufactured goods
daily. and employs eight hands at fifty
cents day. The village consumes the PR
duct, and the owners, who are also planters,
obtain vastly higher price for their cotton
than II they shipped &C.

The Workingman and imitation.

The Greenbackers and their allies, the Ma
tiunals, solicit the votes of the workingmen
because, as they allege, greatly increased
amount OF paper money 10 the country will
benefit the debtor class, and laboring men
should pause and consider this argument be-
fore they cast their votes. If it is the debtor
class that is to be benefited by imitation,
then it is not the man who works for wages.
for be does not belong to that class. 1t is not
has paper that is in the marIet; it is not his
farm, has factory, or his brown stone. front
that Is mortgaged; it is not his stock OF
goods against which there is as much paper
as it is worth; it is not he that is on the
street every Saturday borrowing money to
pay his workmen. II debts are to be paid
in cheap money. it is not he that is to be
benefited. )ef ist1eie
Not only are most of the deposits in the
savings banks OF the country owned by
workingmen, but the laborer is always the
creditor. Every evening there is due him
the price for the labor which he has sold dur
ing the day. If, then, the debtor'is to gain
any. advantage over the creditor by making
the paper dollars of the country less valua-
BILE, it is the interest of altogether another
person; and when the workingman, who
works for wages, is solicited to vote for in
dalton because it will benefit the debtor class,
he should remind himself that his inEerest is
in the opposite direction. He belongs othe
creditor class. The political demagogues
have appealed to the wrong man this time.

rupted their terrible work and began
to mediate upon the wickedness of
angry passions. "Then appeared upon
the scene an unexpected witness. 1t

chapel" whose counsels promptly
reconciled the two quondam friends,
and who, as it appears, has reconciled
many pairs Of duelists in the same

the good man always sets his bell toll
ing and hurries to the scene. One is
tempted to think that this humane
practice is pretty well known at Nice
and some other places, and that the
pugnacious young blades who repair to
the Mortola Valley are not always so
nightly surprised to hear the sound
of the chapel bell and to see the "un-
expected witness " appear on the
scene. There must, however, very
often be an anxious period of suspense
while the first few shots are being ex-
changed, lest a too clumsy champion
should chance to hold his pistol
straight and shoot his adversary in
continently before the benefit Of
clergy is obtained.

The disappearance of t. ]. Red
mOnd, jr., prominent Nashville mer
chant, has created a profound sensa-
tion in that ancient and eminently
proper city. Some of his paper went
to protest few days ago and he has
not been seen since. His creditors
have partially overhauled his affairs
and find that he is hopelessly short in
his accounts, and that he had at
tempted to convey some Of his
property to defraud his creditors
If they had paid more heed to Dun's
agency they might be several thous-
and dollars better off to-day. AS
early as July, 1877, Dun 4 Co.'s mer-
camille agency advised its patrons not
to place implicit confidence in Red
mond, and suggested the advisability
of the accounts which were held
against him by several creditors being
decreased as soon as possible in order
to prevent loss. One of Redmond s
creditors then had bill of over $250O
against him, and disregarding the ad-
vice of the agency permitted Redmond
to double the amount of his indebted
ness. 1t is matter of surprise that
the Nashville firms who trusted Red
mond should have been induced to
place so muchreliance in his ability to
pay, as they were in position to
know more about his financial stand
ing than foreign creditors. John f
Nicholson, manager of the agency, be-
came satisfied in July, 1877, that Red
mond's finances were not in the best
condition, and believed it was only q
question Of time when the crash would
come. Redmond, it is said, owes one
of the local banks fifteen hundred dol
lars, which is well secured. His liza
bilities will, it is believed, amount t.
over twenty thousand dollars. EleveI
thousand dollars are due Nashville
firms, two thousand dollars to Louis
vile merchants, and seven thousanc
dollars to various business men il
Cincinnati. Redmond stood high, per
sonally and socially, and the suddel
going out Of such bright and shinin
light is a local event of more thai
three days talk.

DEFILED BY COMEDIANS.
Pastor Crawford Rededicates the Meth.
odist Church at Arlington.

New York Horald.l
The Episcopalians of the village of
Arlington, N. j., have been giving a
number Of lectures and concerts for
the purpose of raising money to builda
house of worship In the latter part
of October they arranged for a concert
and secured the Methodist Church
from the trustees for that purpose.
The concert was a success financially,
and everybody seemed satisfied except
the Rev. Mr.. Crawford, who created a
sensation last Sunday by declaring that
the church had been desecrated by the
performance and it was necessary to
reconsecrate the edifce before reli-
gious services could be held. He
thereupon called upon the trustees to
come forward and assist him in
the 'rededicatory" services, but they
needed him not, and Mr.. Crawford
performed the act alone. After the
"amen," Squire Pickett, one of the
trustees, arose in meeting to explain.
He had been Methodist, he
said, before many in the church
were born; he saw nothing in
the concert that could be objected
to by any reasonable man, and mas
much as the action of Pastor Craw-
ford reflected on him, he would resign
as a trustee. There was quite com
motion throughout the church. Dur
ing the week the trustees held a
meeting, and not wishing to spread the
scandal, decided to let the matter drop.
The Methodist church is the only
place of worship in Arlington. The
people of all denominations contrib
uted toward its erection, and the gene
raj opinion among the villagers is that
the Methodists should in turn assist
the EpiscOpalians, and that the action
of Pastor Crawford savors of narrow
mindedness. Mr.. Crawford says that
portions of the entertainment consisted
of dialect performances of the variety
order by negro, Dutch and Irish come
dians, were highly sacrilegious, and
that it was absolutely necessary to
rededicate the church before it could
be again used as a house of worship,
