"TERMINAL FACILITIES"

Regular through freight trains begin
to-day to carry goods over the Southern
Railroad direct to Chattanooga. Passen-
ger trains will follow soon. Thus is real
lied the dream that the citizens of Gin
cinnati have had for almost half CEN
tury. Forty years or more ago the peo-
pie of this city, then but little more
than a country village, assembled, and,
amid much enthusiasm, resolved that q
great railroad should be built into the
heart of the South, and amid all the
vicissitudes of the city's growth the
dream was never abandoned. For thirty
years the obstructionists prevented the
undertaking being begun. For ten years
the work has been in progress, with the
croakings of the ill disposed continually
heard, the doubts of even many of its
well-wishers; but the enthusiastic conf
dence on the part of its projectors that
its completion and opening to traffic and
travel would mark an era in the history
of Cincinnati.
Let us hope that these sanguine ex-
pectations shall be realized. The work
has cost the city now for what has been
expended authenticated for some $18,-
100000, and yet, although the road is
practically done, we lack what, in the deli
cate euphemism of the day, is styled "ter-
minal facilities" or in plain English,
depot accommodations here and in Chat
tanooga. These, it is estimated, will re-
quire an additional outlay of another
million dollars more or less. Then lei
us have it expended and that quickly.

SPIRIT Of THE PRESS.
The English PAPERS Of This Morning.

The Commercial says: Mr.. Blackman,
the News and Courier reporter, found
eighteen cotton factories in South Caro-
lima. Unitedly, they are worth near So, 000,-
600, and make over 100000 yards of cloth
and many thousand pounds of yarn per
day. They use up daily 54,O49 pounds of
cotton. They give work to 2,296 opera
tves, two-thirds of whom are women. In
only one of the eighteen factories are me-
groes employed; that is in the Salnda
Mills, near Columbia. The Superintendent
of this factory said he had worked colored
labor to great advantage. "The negro was
as capable of instruction in the business
as the white male or female, and
could afford to work much cheaper,
as they could live so much eheap-
er. The negro labor he found was easily
controlled, and not subject to strikes"
The story of the profits the Southern mills
are making will sound like sweet waters in
a weary land to the Lowells and Fall Rivers
of Massachusetts,. These pleasant returns
range at from eighteen to fifty pei cent. a
year on the capital invested The fifty per
cent. profit is reported only bv one mill,
the Westminster, which uses new-fangled
machinery called the Clement attachment,
1t is an invention now exciting much inter-
est in Southern factories. 1t takes the un-
ginned or seed cotton separates it, cleans
it and shoves it out carded and ready for
spinning. Other mills that have not the new
machinery modestly acknowledge to profit
of 18 to 25H per cent. The Graniteville
Factory is the largest in the State. 1t and
the Vancluse Mill-built from stock diyi-
dends of the other-represent capital of
100000 and employ more than thou
sand operatives. The pay of the spinners
averages IS cents day, and this is the
largest wages paid in any of the mills.
There are advantages though that seem to
compensate for the small wages. The
company own the houses their hands live
in, and rent house of three or four rooms
at So month. Houses of eight and nine
rooms are let at $6 d month. A garden is
fattached to each dwelling, and families
raise their own vegetables pigs and chick
ems. They have also the privilege of cut-
ting all the wood they want for fuel for
nothing, so that they would seem to be
comfortable. Some Of them save money.
1t was understood that as soon as the Leg.
islatare was Republican, Mr.. 81. Hoffman
should be removed from the office which
he has held too long, but the Voight Bill
must wait for the Stryker Bill, and the

quired to secure these We must invoke,
if need be, the persuasive eloquence of
the "little legislature" and send it
up to Columbus with the customary
grocery" and procure it without any
fooling.
But beyond everything else we want
the Cincinnati end of the road located
at such point as shall accommodate the
bulk of the business men of the city
who are to furnish the freight mainly
that Cincinnati will send or receive. The
extra cost of drayage to the West End
of town would be SO important an
item that it might in many cases enable
Chicago to compete successfully against
us in freighting goods South. =.
A large Third street manufacturer told
the writer day or two since that he had
formerly been compelled to establish an
agency in New York and Baltimore for
his goods, and that his agents in those
cities could place his wares in Atlanta,
Georgia, and that whole section of coun-
try at so much better rates as to freight
than they could be sent there from Gin
cinnati direct, that he could afford to pay
the freight East on them and make money
by it. Of course this will now be changed
by the opening of the Southern Road, but
not if its depot is placed at an inaccessi-
BILE point. Another business man re-
marked lately in a discussion of this point
that he could ship barrel of freight to
Louisville just as cheaply as dray it to
the present Southern Railroad Depot
This question is Of vital Importance
and the business men are outspoken on
the subject of having no mistake made
now. A commodious depot for freight
and passengers is absolutely indispensi-
bic located conveniently to the great
business center Of the city. As to the
shops and standing room for cars, while
they ought to be provided for on this
side of the river, they are not, by any
means, question requiring so much con-
sideration by the public at large. But,
gentlemen, hurry up those terminal
facilities"

GILBERT,S GRIT,
Slngle-Handed He Fights a Posse
of Twenty Men.

~h uhens
[Wheatland (Mo.) Star1
Bill Gilbert, the border desperado Ii. e.
he operated on the border Of st. Clair
and Hickory Counties), has finally been
caught and Gagged. He now languishes
in durance vile and has in prospective a
long term in the Penitentiary. Our
readers are doubtless familiar with the
details of his many crimes, and his
modus operandi in avoiding arrest. He
would commit some crime in St. Clair
County and then skip over into Hickory
and bid defiance to the officers. The
people of the infested region finally be-
came tired of Bill; as people sometimes
will, and put up little game on him.
They went quietly to work and got out a
warrant for his arrest from both St.
Clair and Hickory Counties, placed them
in the hands of an officer, and then
posse OF about twenty men started out
with the officer to serve them. BY some
means they found out that William was
being harbored at house in the neigh
borhood of the Weaubleau Institute,
this County, and thither they bent their
steps.
Bill saw them coming, and, being of a
hospitable disposition, prepared to give
them warm reception. They surrounded
the house and ordered him to surrender.
He replied by shot from his revolver
which ripped open the thigh of Bob Les
ter, one of the officers posse. And then
the "fun" commenced. The men rushed
upon him, firing as they ran. William
stood his ground and gave them back
shot for shot. The battle lasted about
fifteen or twenty minutes at the end of
which time Williams stock of ammuni-
tion gave out and he turned to run. He
had run but few steps when he stubbed
his toe and fell heavily to the earth, and
before he could get up again half dozen
men sat down on him and held him down
and bound him hand and foot. After
being bound, Gilbert was removed to the
Osceola Jail, where he now lies awaiting
trial.
Singular as it may appear, the only
shot which took effect during the whole
melee was the first shot fred, the one
which struck Bob Lester in the thigh.
Gilbert's clothes were literally riddled,
and there was bullet-hole through his
hat, but there wasn't scratch Oh his
body. ....
