WHILE Southern Democrats persist in
sending their brigadiers to represent them
in Congress-while they persist in electing
them, not because they are the ablest of
southern statesmen; but because they bore
conspicuous part IN the effort to disrupt
the country-just that long will there ex-
list conspicuous lack of unity of feeling
and purpose between the Northern and
Southern wings of the Democratic party.
Northern Democrats concedc that Southern
brigadiers were moved by deep-seatcd con
victions, and their bravery has been qucs-
toned by no one; but Northern Demo.

took in the rebellion On the contrary

Democratic jackasses may reach you; but
the Democratic party has had "to do' with
the Greenback attachment of the Republi-

THE Lower House of the Missouri Legis
lature has passed bill that makes the
crime of rape punishable with death by
hanging. 1t provides that any person who
shall, by any means, unawfully know a fc
male child under 10 years of age, or by
force or violence ravishes any female above
the age of twelve years, shall suffer death
upon the gallows. This is a severe penalty
'and may cost many innocent men theil
lives; but as imprisonment is not an ade,
luatc punishment for the crime, the Legis-
lature is without an alternative Between
Imprisonment and death there is no hating
place.

GENERAL Ord's proposition that the gov

is proposition in the interest ofpeace. The

President Hayes, being Of penurious turn

been mentioned in connection with the al
lodged attempt of Democrats to purchase
such votes, may be considered as settling
the question forever. The Potter committee
finished its New York business on Saturday
and its members are now here A meeting
may be held tonight, and very soon the
committee, having concluded its work, will
report to the house.
FYou will have read that Mr.. Hayes i'm
mediately after Senator Hamlin made him
self conspicuous in his opposition to the
New York custom house nominees, with
drew a nomination just before made of q
personal friend of Senator Hamlin to 4
lucrative Office in Maine. 1t should be
said in justice to the senator that although
greatly pleased at the nomination of his
friend, he had no direct influence in the
matter and declines at all times, and has
long declined, to recommend anyone for
any office to be filed by presidential ap.
pointment.
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood the District,
first and most successful woman lawyer, de.

entered the profession, BY most persistent
efforts, in the face of great opposition, she
has at last secured the passage through the
senate of the bill allowing women to ap-
pear as attorneys before the United States
supreme court. There is no doubt Mr..
Hayes willapprove it. Even if he should use
the veto power, the house and senate would
pass the bill over his veto. The change in
sentiment on the question in the last few
years, in both houses, is simyly wonderful

Democrats recede from this position; unless
they join Northern Democrats in an effort
to heal up the sores caused by the rebellion,
the two wings of the party will become
cstranged and the national convention OF
1880, will be, in its essential lack OF mar
mony, repetition of the Charleston con-
vention Of 1860.

The Democratic caucus last evening deci-
ded to insist upon repeal of

federate government. This was the princi-
pal work of the caucus, and so great was

be called lack of backbone, | should ex-

SMALL COTTON FACTORIES
FOR THE SOUTH.


The Star, of Wilmington, N. c., be-
l1eves that on every creek of good size
from Maryland to the Gulf it is perfectly
practicable to set up small cotton factory.
In every country in North Carolina, espe-
cially in the cotton section, there ought to
be ten or a dozen such factories at work
''They pay elsewhere-in South Carolina
and Georgia, for instance. Why will
they not pay in North Carolina? There
is a factory in South Carolina that is
marvel in two respects-it costs but little,
and makes such a large percentage of
profits. Let our people make an effort
Let every neighborhood or township or
ganize for small factory. There is no
doubt thai they will pay if judiciously
managed AS we have said they have
paid elsewhere, and they can be made to
pay in our own State. 1t would be we'll
if practical man of business were sent
into South Carolina to examine the little
mill and get all the facts. We have the
cotton, the water power, the labor, and
even the capital, for it will require SO little
to start and keep running one of the mills
referred to. The prosperity of State de-
pends no little upon the diversity of crops
and the multiplicity of industries. New
England has grown immensely rich by its
manufactures. Let North Carolina awake
to its interests and try small cotton facto-
ries"
The little mill in South Carolina above
alluded to is located at Westminster. The
following is a statement of the cost of the
machinery, ETC., and the daily expenses
and profits of that little factory:

THE ADVANCE IN PRICES,

The Inter Ocean does not stop to eX
plain or attempt to explain the fact, but it
is fact, nevertheless, plain and palpable,
that an abundance of currency tends to
make prosperous times; and, while it is
extremely desirable that such currency be
sound, experience proves that plentitude
of it gives great activity to business
whether it is made up of gold, silver or
paper money. Of course if paper money
exist in great quantities, and an attempt
be made to reduce the volume to meet a
specie basis, a crash is inevitable and
much suffering must ensue; but when the
volume is equally large and consists of
gold, silver, or its equivalent, and high
prices may reign, and buyers may invest
freely without at least the double fear of
heavy fiuctuation in both the articles
bought aud the currency with which it is
purchased.
When Mr.. Forts resolution passed Con-
gress prohibiting the further retirement Of
greenbacks, the turning point in our finan-
cial depression seems to have been reach
ed The reconciliation ofsilver followed;
banking WIS free and all this was follow
ed by an unprecedented flow of gold into
this country from abroad. The result is
that money has been growing plentier
and plentier each month, until the volume
of available currency has become very
large.
Like any other commodity, money de-
pends for its value on the demand for it
We do not change the terms which desig-
nate its normal worth, and dollar is call
ed a dollar as it was during the war
| though its perchasing capacity may not
| be one half of what it formerly was, but
still its real value has been lessened. Il
we were selling gold and silver by thu
ounce we might weigh our $I.oS worth
now for bushel of wheat instead of 75c
worth, as little while ago, and still the
actual situation would be what it now is
| OF course, other causes enter in rise o.
any given commodity, as a failure of crops
or any exceptional demand for giver
manufacture; but a general rise of all spe
cies of property is largely attributable te

THE BRIGHTEST GEM.

The educational feature of the Grange is
the brightest gem in the Order. Through
its medium, our brothers and sisters are
enabled to pierce the fog and unveil the
questionable tendencies of professional
politicians, tricksters and monopolists.
With this gem, they are enabled to over
leap the barriers of oppression and tyr
amy, and emerge into the sunshine of re-
deemed salvation. Now. why should not
every farmer throughout the length and
breadth of this land grasp the only op-
portunity that has yet presented itself to
be freemen? To lift the yoke that has so
long burdened their necks and kept them
cowed at every beck and nod of design
ing cormorants in mercantile, manufactu-
ring and transportation channels? It is
vet within the memory of living Patrons
how railroad monopolists claimed to be
higher than the law. Before the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry had the breath
of life hrsathed into it's nostrils, the legal
profession was loud -mouthed in declaring
that chartered rights, sanctioned by legis-
lative authority, could not be regulated or
controlled by subsequent legislative enact
ments. But with the organization of the
Grange, these "hobbies" have been explo-
ded and these self subsidized leeches have
lost their grip, and the will of the people
is to day supreme. The disastrous results
of the credit system have been unerringly
pointed out and are now we'll understood
thanks to the educational feature of the
Grange and the unfaltering success of CO
operation. While meetings should be
held for the Legitimate transaction of bust
ness as founded upon the ritual formality
and Declaration of Purposes, intellectual
entertainments should be open and free tc
all visitors, thus showing in unembarrassee
| freedom the brightest gem of the Grange

TIMELY CAUTION.

In the era Of returning business pros
perity it is timely and appropriate to eau
ton farmers and Patrons against incurring
indebtedness. Be not beguiled into the
idea that because times are growing better
that you can incur risks by adopting a sys-
tenn of promise to pay" This is false
economy land if practicedto the least extent
will run you into shallow water and against
a snag The bitter lesson of the past should
warn us to incur no snch alarming risks.
On the contrary, farmers and Patrons
should strive to square up old accounts,
and start anew on the road to prosperity,
and having thus freed themselves from
the oppressive burden of mortgaged home
steads and casual Indebtedness, resolve
with themselves that henceforth they will
establish their hopes upon the firm and
safe business motto "Pay as you 60" BY
pursuing such wise and benefcent
course they materially aid the permanence
of good times in this free and united coun-
try,-F Farmers Friend.
