head had been stopping in the city

no perceptible object in view; but
on Friday morning he was noticed
to meet a pretty and extremely
pleasant countenanced lady at the

Coxhead we have formed a very IA

whena lady will leave the beautiful

choice, she is in in earnest and de-
serves the congratulations of all

Cotton Mills North and South

The New York Manufacturers Rerie,r
psid Industrial Record, discussing the
profits Of cotton manufacturing North and
south, after 2 careful review Of the situa-
ton. comes to the conclusion that cotton
factories in the South are 10 longer eX-
perimental.
There are many reasons" it says,
why this business should be more profit
able in the South than in the North, but
it was hardly to be expected that the
Southern mills, with less experience, less
capital. and the difficulties always attend
ing the introduction Of new industries.
would De able, for the present, at least, TO
earn three or four times more profit than
the Northern mills, which have the adj
vantage Of almost unlimited capital, the
most improved machinery, trained opera
tiyes and long experience. And yet such
appears 10 be the case"
This admission is right in the face Of
the arguments advanced by journals pub
lished in the cotton manufacturing cen
tres Of the North, which dwell upon the
risks run by investors Of capital in South
ern cotton mills. Yet. the facts warrant
indIsputablv the conclusion Of our New
York contemporary.
The Augusta, Ga, factory has paid out
during the last l. years an average of
AZ per cent. in dividends, besides laying
aside a surplus Of $780, The Langley
Mil. near the same city, has for several
years paid from Is to 90 per cent. and laid
aside 100000, while other city mills make
an equally favorable showing. The Wes-
son Mills Of Mississippi have paid 2G per
cent, and a Pulaski, Tenn. mill actually
divided 80 per cent. last year among its
stockholders.
Mr.. Russell, Of Massachusetts, recent
Il showed in Congress that the New Eng
land mills have paid an average dividend
of : per cent. during the past five years.
Fifty million dollars invested in them,
therefore, will return the investors only
S17.50O,OJO in five years, whereas the same
amount invested in the South will pay be-
tween $40, 600, 600 and SJ0,000,00O.
With freight 81 to So cheaper, lighter
expenses for heating, cheaper raw mate
rial. abundance of water power, cheap
labor. cheap living and other advantages,
il is not to be wondered at that the South
ern mills pay more than double the profits
Of those in New England.
The great want of the South is cheaper
machineFys for the manufacture of her
great staple. Once that is obtained hun
dreds of mill sites will be occupied and
the product Of the South in the line of cot
ton goods viii be vastly multiplied.
The argument that skilled labor will be
lacking is prepOsterOus. Once the field is
opened 10 such labor, and its reward is as
sured, there will be no scarcity. The
South is destined TO take a high rank in
the making Of cotton fabrics, and the
great requisite is cheaper machinery.
That secured, the rest will be easy to ac-
cOmplish.

Again. il Is clear that the capital upon

session Of Congress just closed was
the most remarkable since the close OF
the war between the States Tor the al
sence Of sectional controversies. The
bloody shirt has gone To pieces and can
hardly be waved again. Indeed, the Re
pubIicans. unless matters change
greatly in the interval, must in
1874 fight for the electoral
votes Of several Southern States. To the
view Of their leaders Virginia presents
a highly promising field, and they regard
fay0rably their chances for carrying
North Carolina and Louisiana. and are
not hopeless Of securing the vote Of
Florida. The contest will, therefore, be
fought on issues other than sectional, and
the result Of il viii depend largely upon
the conduct Of parties in the next Con-
gress-
While the Democrats VIII enter that

Money has become the great lever in
our politics. Henry George, in a paper in
the North american Reyieir, urges that
OligaTchy and Cesarism will result unless
a remedy is speedily found. He advocates
as a remedy the adoption of a plan of
voting which England borrowed from
Australia. The government, which
furnishes the voting places and ballot
boxes, also furnishes the ballot papers,
and the voter has to enter a private recess
and there prepare his ticket. Several
papers have stated that the plan is that Of
scratching a general ticket, but some
English official instructions for voting
state that the names Of candidates voted
for must be indicated by a cross made by
the voter in a square space opposite each
name. This is a detail. The principle Is
that OF a general ticket issued by public
authority.

zette. has all been expended, and further

Previous % the war Of 1870 Strasburg had
only a fortified rampant, but the Germans

forts. nine Of which are on the Rhine, and
all Of them are completed except the eX-
ferual works Of thunderstorm and the
.Altheimer KOf. Around Metz the ram
parts comprise nineteen bastions, sur
rounded By bitches and protected by thir-
teen advanced works. Metz in addition
10 this strong defense, is surrounded by
eight detached and independent forts, dis
fant on an average about two miles from
the centre Of the city and forming a circle
fourteen miles in circumference. These
forts are named after the German Gener-
ais who distinguished themselves the
most during the war Of 1870, and two Of
them are provided with armor-plated tur-
rets.
