A Great Factory.

The buildings of the Sibley Cotton
Manufacturing Company at Augusta,
Ga, will be completed in few weeks
and ready for the machinery. The main
building is claimed to be one of the
finest in the country. 1t has four stories,
and is $50 feet long and 7s feet wide.
These dimensions afford floor or space
of about 155, 900 feet, and will easily &C
commodate 1000 looms and 10000
spindles. 1t is proposed, however, to
begin manufacturing with only ZOO
looms and 10000 spindles, to avoid
further increase Of stock, or issuance of
bonds or other INTERCHANGEABLE
policy of the direction being to
pay as they 60. The prospective
opportunities for extension and growth
are all that could be desired, for by add
ing a wing to each end Of the building,
half the size of the building itself, there
would be room for 1000 looms and
10000 spindles, all of which can be
driven without the expense Of further
work upon the water supply. The COM
pany, which has a capital stock of
81 900, 900, will begin manufacturing in
January, not a dollar in debt. The
future extensions and growth will follow
gradually and without interfering with
the dividends, serving as a safe and prof
table investment for the surplus earn
ings.

Copfederate Bonds.

A Washington broker, who has been
dealing heavily in Confederate bonds,
processes to know the history of the
craze, which, he explains to a New
York Herald reporter, is simply bold
scheme to galvsnize the defunct securi-
ties, run them up and then unload. The
mythical Confederate deposit in the
Bank of England afforded basis to
work upon public credulity, but the
prompt squelching of the long current
fable by the British press has tended to
set the spectators back.
The Washington dealer says the last
he sold were of the "nine-forty" class,
issued in 1864 He sold them at the
rate Of s. per 1000. To-day, he says.
he would not give eight cents for them.
He bought $500, 600 worth in Washing
ton alone. The highest price realized at
the capital was SO so per thousand
He says he now has no further use for
the securities. He states that the syndi-
cate running the boom in England and
the United States is made up of Jews.
The movement was sprung on the peo-
ple-who held the bonds, and he advises
those who have sold not to repurchase.
Raphael J. Moses, of New York, is the
chief speculstor here, and has bought to
a very large amount
Aside from the denials of the British
press, the Herald's informant argues that
if the spectators suspected that there
were really any cash to the credit of the
Confederacy they would have kept their
suspicious to themselves. He shows,
too, that if there were available cash
the bonds are conditional. and could
not be paid. The interest was to be
paid by the collection of export duties
on cotton, naval stores and tobacco.
So, too, with the seven-thirty interest
bearing notes, which were to be redeem.
ed ''six months after the ratification of
treaty of peace between the Confederate
and United States" Altogether he con-
cludes that he has had enough of the
business and thinks that if the syndicate
have not unloaded they are in fair way
to be badly bitten.
In this connection it may be said that
the Herald the other day gave a silly and
malicious Washington rumor conspicu-
GUS place in its columns, to the effect
that Mr.. Jefferson Davis recent trip to
England was in connection with the al
legged Confederate deposit. Its cores
pondent conveyed the impression that
Mr.. Davis had been drawing periodically
on the fund, and was nOwin quest or en-
joyment of his last installment. The
same enterprising journal on Monday,
speaking of the reported use of funds in
Canada by Confederate agents, said that
Jacob Thompson is reported to have
told a friend that he gave Mr.. Davis
$50, 600 of this fund after the surrender.
1t relieves this, however, by admitting
that Mr.. Davis never acknowledged this,
and that those who know him well say
that he never had such a sum at hand since
the war. The Herald. in its search for
sensations, might have spared the proud
Chief of the Confederacy from being
made the subject of criticism at the
hands of those credulous enough to
swallow its yarn.

The returns from Virginia at this
writing are too meagJe to indicate the
result in the State. The Republicans
boosted openly last week that they had
secured a fund of $50, 600 to be turned
over to the Readjusters for the payment
of poll taxes and corruption pur-
poses. Despite this the un-
daunted Democracy of the
Old Dominion were confident of saving
the grand old commonwealth from the
humiliation of a triumph for Malone.
1t is stated that many colored voters have
supported the Democracy in spite of the
fund" and, though some time must
elspse ere the result is known, it is to be
hoped that Virginia has been true to her
old traditions, and that the blow struck
at her honor hiss been warded OF.
The battle in New York. it is con-
ceded, resulted in Democratic triumph,
which, while not old fashioned, augurs
well for the party's future in the Empire
State. True. the divisions in the Radi-
cal ranks counted for a good
deal, but the detection was
offset by the chickering's of the Demo
Gratis. Republicans may affect to attach
no importance to the result, but Presi-
dent Arthur would have appreciated an
endorsement of his regime by his own
State, however slight. The result shows
that the united Democracy are invincible
in the great pivotal State. and points a
moral that needs no comment
The results in the residue of the States
that voted yesterday are of little public
interest save in Pennsylvania and Mis-
sissippi. 1t was pretty well conceded
that most Of them would poll light
vote and give the regulation majority for
the dominant party in each. The strength
Of Wolf, the Independent candidate
for State Treasurer in Pennsylvania,
will excite interest. For, if measurably
large, it will show that the leaven set
working in Philadelphia last winter in
the setback to local bossism may hold
promise of deliverance from ring rule in
the State. The result in Mississippi
will prove interesting in proportion to
the showing made by Kings following.
At this writing it cannot, for lack of
data, be estimated.

Guiteau, the assassin, has written a
letter to President Arthur, asking, "silce
God has placed him in such high posi-
ton, that he will subscribe for the benefit
of the instrument used to place him
there" He also sent his communication
to James Gordon Bennett, calling his
attention to a suit for $4,000, the
Herald having, in 1874, published that
Guiteau had defrauded New York par
ties of collections he had made for them,
and suggests that, inasmuch as he had
abandoned the suit, $4,000 would be
acceptable. In concluding this epistle
Guiteau says that if Mr.. Bennett does
not wish his name to appear the cash
would be gratefully received.

The Contingent Fund of the Treasury.

A Washington Sunday paper of Re-
publican proclIvities prints what it al
Ieges is some of the sworn testimony in
the recent investigation into I'll, expen-
diture of the Treasury Departm- ut con-
tingent fund, etc. This testimony is to
the effect that work done on the new
residence of Mr.. Sherman was paid for
with department funds at the time he
was Secretary. When the Senate, at
the instance of Mr.. Sherman, called for
the report of this investigation, suspicion
was aroused because of his opposition
to the motion to have the testimony &C
company the report If the testimony
which is published in the Washington
paper is genuine, the reason for Mr.
Sherman's opposition is perhaps ex-
planned. At any rate the ex Secretary is
put in position where a personal expla-
nation will be in order. One thing is
certain, that sooner or later all the facts
in connection with the expenditure of
the contingent fund of the department
must come out.

The New York Times SAYS that ''the
majority of Opulent families" in New
York ''have no regular family physicians,
and employ one medical attendant or an
other according to circumstances. 1t
may be noted, indeed, that the old
fashioned family practitioner has passed
away in the hurry of the times. and that
few physicians can say with truthful
ness that their connections are fixed and
regular, or that, having attended in a
certain family once even with satisfac-
ton, they are messurably sure OF being
called again"

Telegraphic drawing is one of the
latest and most interesting products Of
the science. At the recent Electrical Elk
position in Paris. the drawing Of an
officer of the French Grensdier Guards
was transmitted a considerable distance
by the ordinary telegraph wires. The
original sketch was done in dotted lines
with metallic ink. Every time the
pointer touched one of these dots the
electric current was closed and the mark
reproduced at the other end of the wire.
In this way the drawing was so exactly
copied that the original draughtsman
was unable to distinguish between his
drawing and the copy thus taken.
