new mills with extensive capacity and
improved machinery have sprung nm
IN various parts Of the Southern
States. The growth Of this new in.
dustry in the next few years bids fair
70 be enormous The South has at
last found a source of great wealth in
what, until recently, considered of
no value. Before the war millions of
dollars in cotton seed we're yearly
thrown away. The utility of the seed
as fertilizer was then discovered
and 1t was for a time used chiefly for
this purpose. 1t was next found to
contain valuable oil which is now
pressed out, refined and used chiefly
for cooking purposes as a substitute
Tor lard, while the remaining meal or
cake has proved to be rich food for
animals. Even the hulls Of the seed
make an excellent fuel. Seed that
was once thrown away is now sold for
twelve and fifteen dollars ton. and
the price is likely to 20 higher. Much
OF this product is still wasted in some
parts Of the South, owing chiefly to
the want o. convenient mills. 1t has
been estimated that at no distant dav
the annual crop Of cotton seed will he
converted into products to the yalne
OF Hity to seventy million dollars.

Trouble at a BsRnie.

At half past FIVE o'clock yesterday
evening, a shrill whistle summoned the
officers to a mansion on Winchester
street, where they found everything in
great state of commOtion. Four OF
five females had their heads out Of
windows, screaming, and four or FIVE
more we're dashing about the halls like
mad. Opening the door, the officers
discovered a fellow en- dishabil!e COM
log down the front steps, four at a
time. He stopped when he saw the
policeman, and reaching up to a step
above him, stuck something under the
carpet, which was Immediately recog.
nlzed to be knife of the dangerous
kind known es a stilletto; long, keen
and double edged. VIM. Kerr, as he
gave his name, was taken to the Gala
bOose and brought in for trial to day.
The principal witness was q
little curly headed spiifre with
the chewing gum name of
Grace Arlington, and who made a
reputation in the Police Court, few
weeks ago, by the frequent use of the
phrase "us girls" She was asked to
stand near the end of the table so that
the lawyers could hear, aud expressed
her willingness to stand on top of the
table if they could hear any better
From her statement, she drank some
vine with Kerr and another boarder
and went down stairs, but was sum
mOued in short while to assist Annie
Smith, upon whom Kerr had drawn
dirk. When she entered the room in
answer to the summons, Kerr hemmed
her in corner and exhibited play
ful disposition to cut off her curls with
the stilletto. She agreed to bring him
bottle of wine il he would let her go,
aud he agreed.
Did you bring him the wine?" asked
the Judge.
II brought him oRs policeman on
the haIf-shell, said us Girls" )" and
stepped aside.
Kerr was fined $40 for the city, and
bound over to the Criminal Court.

DRIVEN to desperation, MIR. Dorsey,
Secretary Of the National Republican
Committee, has given out some sf tbs
correspondence of the late President
Garfield relating to the canvass of
1880. Some people regard this as a
violation of private confidence, but
we fail to look ct in that light Mr..
Garfield is dead. The American peo-
pie have gushed and mourned and
drank to his memory sufficiently.
Especially is this SO in
the South. We have mOurned
and grioved and wrung our
hands as though another George
Washington had died. That was all
right. We are naturally emotional as
well as sincere and unsel6sh. But
the period of griet prescribed for a
dead President, whether killed for
political purposes by a member of his
own party or passed away naturally,
having expired, there is no impropri-
ETY. in discussing the pelitioal
acts of Mr.. Garfield the same
as if he we're yet living
Garfield was enc Of the best represen-
tatives of Republicanism as organised
to control the government. He was
too good, in fact, and was killed off by
an extremist, who undertook to make
himself useful and effective. Guiteau
had to be hung, like John Brown, but
he represented or persopsted a large
element in bis party, who sympsthiged
with him and approved his deeds. Gar
field availed himself Of the services
of Dorsey, and was in init
mate correspondence with him.
He accepted the aid of such men, and
suggested how they could make them
selves useful. No sooner was he in
Office than the Star Route prose
cutions began. He made no effort to
protOect those who had corruptly
aided in his election, but allowed
them to be prosecuted to tho full ex
tent Of the law, while he accepted
tho character Of a saint. 1t is per
fectIy natural that Dorsey
pursued aud bounded as he is
should disclose the part that
Mr.. Garfield secretly took in 1880
There is no sacred or binding iujunc
tiop Of secrecy upon anyone in regarC
to his political acts. Mr. Dorsey ha

Watson bought draft for Sl7.63, on

cashed in the Buffalo Traders Bank,
which proved to be the same Sl7 draft
most skillfully altered. Watson had
done some business with the Batalo
bank, which disarmed suspicion, and
when the big forged draft was pre-
