Cotton Factories.

All over the Sonth factories are max
ing money. a contemporary says that
in Alabama, the CottondaIe factory
near Tuskaloosa, is financial success,
The factory at Selma declares hand
some dividends. Cotton mills should
be built in every city and tewn and
hamlet in the South, and their building
should not be discouraged. We want
to see our own people engaged in the
laudable en- erprise. If our people would
take hold of the matter in the proper
manner, organize companies Of their
own and combine their capital, we would
have no need to olamor for foreign capt.
talists to come and do for US what We
are abundantly able to do for ourselves.
Only few persons have much idle CAPT
tai, bat many have small sums combined
and ifput into 8 factory, they would yield
a handsomedividend. There is scarcely
a merehanlile failure which does not
carry with loss to innocent depositors.
Let these people instead Of leaving their
money in the hands of merchants at or
10 per cent. interest combine their capt
tai aud invest in factories which will
pay better and be sure investment

Our Pinez woods Region.

The Shubuta Messenger, says that
Mr.. John H Evans, of Clarke county,
has been this week on tour of inspec-
tion through the pine lands Of South
fast Mississippi with some Miehiganders
who know what pine trees are and how
to make money out Of them. There
we're several of them, and they were
highly delighted with the immense for
ests Of majestic pines which met their
visions on every hand. They have gone
on to New Orleans, viii 90 thence to the
Mississippi coast, aud establish a base
for operations. Tie Messenger says
they will invest with ample means aud
facilities for improving the industries Of
that region, build it up into villages,
populate them with working men, and
spread happiness, contentment and pros
perity all around.
will add that Astounding as Missis-
sippi is in the resources of wealth, she has
nothing that holds out inducements to.
capital more entieing than her pine
lands. The keen-seented capitalists
have discovered the truth; and hence
their eagerness to invest in these lands
The worlds supply of timber is becom-
ing alarmingIy scarce and our State is
fortunate in her vast possessions of

ne Congressional Apportionment


The Apportionment bill passed the
lover House of Congress BY an almost
strict party vote-the Democrats voting
in the negative. The following IS the
Sd section Of the bill as it passed the
House, to which We would call atten-
ton:
SEC. 8. That in each State entitled TO
representatives under this appointment,
the number to which such State may be
entitled in the Forty-eight and each subse-
auent Congress shall be elected by districts
composed of contiguous territory and CON
tanning as nearly practicable aud equal
number of inhabitants, and equaiIn number
TO the representatives to which such State
NAV be entitled in Congress, no one district
being entitled To more than one representa-
tive; pr0uided, that unless the Legislature
ofsueh State shall otherwise provide before
the election such representatives shall take
their places as provided by law; where no
change shall hereby be made in the repre-
sentatIves of State, the representatives
thereat To the Forty-eighth Congress shall
be elected therein as now provided by law.
If the number as hereby provided tor shall
be larger than it was before this change,
then the additional representative or repre-
santatiyes allowed to such State under this
apportionment may be elected by the State
at large, and the other representatives which
the State is allowed in the districts as pre-
scribsd by Law in said State; and If the
number hereby provided shall in any State
be les. than it was before the change hereby
made. the the whole number to such State
hereby provided for shall be elected at
large, unless the Legislatures of said States
have provided or shall otherwise provide
before the time fixed by law for the next
election of representatives therein.

Mr.. Manning's Bill to Reorganize
the United States supreme Court.

A crying evil 10 Iitigants IN the
Supreme Court of the United States
i the accumulation Of business in the
Court and the delay in the decisions,
amounting almost to a denial Of justice
in many cases. Il has been found abb
solutely necessary to provide a remedy
and the subject has claimed the atten-
ton and exercised the ahlest members
of the bar in the country. Several
plans have been suggested for the reor-
ganization Of the Court to remedy the
evil, and among them, the bill of
Hon. Van. H. Manning, of Mississippi.
The New York Herald contains a
very able review of these several
plans, evidently written by a lawyer
who has given the subject mature re-
Election, and who has reached the con-
clusion that the bill of Mr.. Manning is
preferable to the others proposed, one
of which by the way Is embodied IN
bill introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Davis, of Illinois. formerly of the Su-
preme Court. Our limited space viii
not admit of the reproduction in our
paper of the entire ar .icle in the Herald,
but we have copied the comment on the
bill of Mr.. Manning to which superior
merit is accorded The bill has re-
ceived the sanction of some of the most
eminent lawyers in the country, and
among the number, some of the most
prominent in Mississippi including Hon.
w. P. Harris, Gen. Featherston, Judge
Calhoon and others.
P. S. The article in the Herald
was published in our Daily edi-
ton. We regret that the Legislative
have crowded it, with other
matter, from the present num-
Der of our Weekly.

The New Orleans and Northeaste'
Railroad Company.


We notice that bill has been
duced in the House by Mr.. Wood u
Lauderdale, authorizing this company
10 purchase at a nominal sum per'acre
all the right, title and interest "
which the State now has in the swamp
and overhowed lands heretofore granted
to the Pearl River Navigation Company.
The readers of The CLARION doubtless
remember the gigantic fraud perpe-
trated upon the State under carpetbag
rule by this so-called Pearl River Navi-
CATION Company, as it was from time
to time, exposed through their columns.
We have learned from Col. w II.
Hardy, the Vice-President of the New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad
Company, who is an able lawyer, that If
the State would grant his road the right
to buy her interests, that some of them
probably could be recovered. 1t oc-
ours to us that the State could make
no bet er disposition of the whole ques
ton than to let this Company have her
claim. The New Orleans and North
eastern Railroad Company have
been exceedingly modest in asking
Eavors of the State. Indeed it has
never asked anything except the
right to build and operate its road
through section of country now almost
an unbrokea forest, and bringing into
market tens of thousands ofacres of wild
lands, and build up towns and villages,
and schools and churches, and pour rich |
treasures into the State Treasury. Its
inc has been located and put under con
mile of it. Already over
roc, 900 acres of land, which heretofore
Yielded no revenue to the State, have
1een bought from the general govern
nent, and will this year be put upon
he assessment rolls, and bring in its
evenue; and millions of dollars will be
expended in the State by the company
n the next twelve months.
In view of all these facts, we think the
State might well display the liberality
Which it has shown to other companies
" passing the bill transferring to the
ompany for nominal sum, its right to
ne for lands, the title to which is in
ispute.

Hon. w. NJ. Inge.

The following from the Peoples Advi-
ser, Temperance organ Of this city, is
well merited tribute to this gentlemans
THE CLARION has borne testimony to
his efficiency as Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee; to the ability with
which he managed the temperance bill
in the House; and to the eloquence
with which he championed it in the
presence Of the largest auditory that has
graced the Hall of Representatives since
the assembling of the Legislature. The
testimonial of the Adviser is so COM
plete that it leaves nothing for US to
add:
Col Inge, the distinguished representa-
tive Of the county of Alcorn, deserves the
thanks Of the good people of Mississippi for
his able championship of the local option
bill in the House. His leading argument
was q masterpiece OF convincing logic and
splendid eoquence. He il man of broad
and statesmanIike views, and has the courage
of his convictions. He has displayed some
admirable qualities as a leader and deserves
the honor Of his felow-citizens. As Chair
man of the Judiciary Committee he has
shown his great abilities as a lawyer. Mr..
Speaker Tison could have made no better
appointment We would be glad to see
Col Inge placed upon the Bench in his dis
triet in case of vacancy. But what ever
may be his political preferment he shall be
gratefully remembered by the temperance
nennie of this GREAT State. .--a--.--.-...-...--
