The King Mill.

AUGUSTA Chronicle and ConstittttionaItst.
The organization of the John P. King
Manufacturing Company yesterday was
an event of great importance. 1t is des-
tined to be an enterprise of magnificent
proportions; but, after all, was the
natural outgrowth of the success of
Augustus cotton mills. Since the war
their success has been assured, and in
creasing year by year. Such progress is
unprecedented, and notwithstanding
the fact that new mills and large extern
sions are even now being built here,
the King Company will find plenty of
room, abundance of water power on the
canal and ready markets for their goods.
Several of our Augusta factories have
already orders six months ahead of pro-
duction for their cotton brands. In
such prosperous times it is, then, no
wonder that Northern capital should
flow to this section, where thrift and Sc
curitY combine to stimulate local enter
prise and make the prospect inviting.
We confidently expect, too, full quota
of English aid to this new and nam
moth mandatory.

A Small Chapter Of History

General Sherman, in his letter to Judge
Cowley, of Massachusetts,, who recently
delivered the Decoration day address at
Beaufort, S. c., explains his order No.
10, dated Savannah, Ga, January 16,
1865. giving lands to freedmen. Those
orders, he says, were made after full
conference with the Secretary of War,
who came to Savannah for the purpose
of recreation and consultation, and went
as far as existing law and the Constitu-
ton warranted, and the reasons why
they did not fulfill the full measure of
his intentions were that the war termi-
mated soon after, and the Constitution
regained its full force; mo attainder OF
treason shall work corruption of
blood, or forfeiture, except during the
life of the person attainted." That he
could not and did not attempt to give
more than possessory titles to continue
while the war lasted. 1t IS evident from
the foregoing that Stanton instigated the
order to turn Southern people out of
their homes, and the fact but added an
other crime TO the roll of his infamies
against the South, while it strengthens
general opinion that of all the enemies
of the South in that war he was the most
vindictive hater, the most indomitable,
blood thirsty pursuer. Others tired of
the fratricidal butchery, but Stanton
never.

It is said to be an ell wind that blows
nobody good" and the storms and tenn
pests now sweeping the Republican hori-
zon seem likely to turn to the advantage
of Democracy. Indeed, the events al.
Iuded to seem already to have stifened
the backbone of the Democratic party,
and encouraged it to hope for further
victories in the coming future. The Ma
hone breeze in the Senate was met by the
Democrats with manly nerve and bold
ness, and skillfully changed to Conk-
ling storm, which quickly blew the
whole kettle of fish out of Washington
and overwhelmed Albany with the
debris. This was q sudden and very IN
expected visitation upon the State which
gave the casting vote in the Presidential
election, and raised an exceedingly
grave doubt in the minds of Republicans
whether the adoption of either horn of
the dilemma presented would lead to
peace and prosperity in their affairs. So
evenly balanced have remained, up TO
this writing. the homogeneous elements
of its wings. and so hostile in purpose
and intent, that we are still left in doubt
as to the final result, while we seem to
have increased evidences of further
reward to Democratic nerve.
"Whom the gods destroy they first
make mad" was the way the ancients
thought about politician who persisted
in the struggle against overwhelming
opposition, OF drew the sword of AFRO
gance in despair Whether Mr.. Conk-
ling is destined to this fate events have
not yet fully determined, but the evil
dences seem strong that his coup detGt
was a sad failure, and likely to bury the
brilliant pop-ln-jay of the Senate beneath
the political ruins of his own conjura-
ton,

Posi- ROUTE FRAUDs.-The star route
Investigations convict the late Mr.. Hayes
and his administration, and show that
sanctimonious hypocrite to have been as
willfully blind to the plunderings of the
Treasury by his corrupt supporters as
ever Grant was. The latest revelation,
Route No. 80, 1879, in New Mexico. has
been proved a complete fraud, connived
at by Hayes, his Postmaster General
(Maynard), and on down to Brady, Cork
hill and McGrew, who refused to exam
inc the evidences when pressingly pre-
sented. 1t appears that James B. Price,
one of the ring, drew from the Treasury
clear profit of $4,000 a year for 9
pretended service, specified in the con-
tract but never performed. Brady & Co.
have been turned over to the grand jury,
upon which Brady boosted that ne had

According to the Springfield RepnbA
can, the President has spoken of Mr..
Conkling as follows: "He wants to LOCK
me in the eye, does he Let him come
into the room, and 1 will look him in
the eye when he comes in, aud give him
my boot when he goes out" 1t seems
incredible that the President should
have spoken thus, but in the present COL
dition of the Republican party and il
this present ''off-year, nothing in the
way of extreme bitterness of expression
is wholly improbable.

Jefferson Davis is described as being
much pleased and touched by the friend
" fashion in which various citizens Of
Chicago greeted him on the streets the
other day. General J. c. Wright, an
old classmate at West Point, says thai
Mr.. Davis is perfectly content and salts
fed with the result of the war, and
wouldn't have slavery restored if every
negro in the South would beg to have
the old conditions renewed. General
Wright says also that Mr.. Davis is a very
poor man. He had to borrow money &c
pay off the debts on the Beauvoir estate,
and his own plantation he has leased tc
his old slaves, who never make more
than living from it.

There is a bitter anti-English feeling
current among the people of Russia
indeed, the two countries are natural
enemies. When, therefore, the Jews of
England met and adopted resolutions
calling on the British Government to in

the Russian Jews in the awkward posi-
ton that this interference in their be

The news from Europe seems to indi-
cate that Spain will follow the example
of the French in Africa by absorbing
Morocco. Both France and Germany
approve of the plan, and it is not proba
BILE that the other powers would make
any objection. Spain once held nearly
all Morocco, but of late years her pos
sessions have been confined to few
towns on the coast. As the country is
horribly governed, and subject every
few years to desolating famines, the
Spanish occupation would be for the
benefit of the Moors as well as advan-
tageous for Europe. AS the army of
Morocco is a mere myth, the country
could be absorbed as easily as France
has occupied Tunis.
