•'v - Senatorial Matters.
It is much to be regretted that the
convention which met at the Glade on
Wednesday last failed to accomplish the
purpose for which it was called—the se
lection of a candidate to represent the
30th senatorial district in the next Le
gislature—as shown by the full proceed
ings published elsewhere. Tho difficul
ty in uniting that body on any one can
didate had been foreseen by many before
the convention met, but we had hoped
there would boa sufficient number of
delegates present who would lay aside
personal preferences and prejudices in
order to prevent a disruption of the par
ty and give tho district into tho hands of
the Radical party. It seems we were
mistaken. The harmony of the Demo
cratic party was sacrificed to personal
ambition. The party may go to the
dogs', but hide-1 ound prejudice must be
maintained. Out upon such party pa
triotism, we spy. Shall a few men thus
stop the whole progress of the Demo
cratic party in this senatorial district ?
We say not, and we believe the peopleof
the district agree with us. Let the ob
structions to harmony be thrust aside,
ground to powder, rather than the good
name of Democracy should bo brought
into disrepute.
Steps have been taken looking to an
other convention to bring about harmo
ny. A mass meeting of the people of
Elbert county will be held in Elberton
on saleday next for the purpose, among
other things, of selecting delegates to an
other convention to nominate a candidate
for Senator. As this announcement will
reach the people of the other counties in
terested we hojje they will takelike action,
and to whom wo have a suggestion to
make. Let the delegations consist ot
the very best material, the best men and
„;the safest, and while it would be well for
them to fully understand their county’s
position in the matter, let them go unfet
tered by instructions and in condition to
ipake a nomination, however difficult it
may be
We would further suggest that the
nominating convention be held at the
same place—tho Glade—on Saturday,
the 16th day of September, as a nomi
nation made at that time would be in
atnple time to reach the people for the
election.
To the Democrats of tho three coun
ties we appeal, by their hopes of thrust
ing from place and power the rotten and
corrupt party now in control of the fed
eral government—by their desire to do
feat by an overwhelming majority those
whose wish it is to hand over to the
same party who came so near involving
us in * ruin our own State, by that true
patriotism and fealty to party and coun
try know does exist—to lay
saside every other feeling but a wish to
ipromote concord, and let such a nomi
nation ha made as will suppress ambi
tious murmarings and restore the party
•to a ihealtfry condition
‘To thaae who (Failed to get a Paper last Week.
We republish tlw toiUc .vrwg for the b(mefit of
those concerned :
isVe have word to ray to over half our patrons
this wsek which we 'do in all kindness, not
wishing toll art the feelings of any. We have to
account for a short issue of this number, having
■failed to receive paper in time for the issue,
und the cause of it is that we utterly failed to
collect money to buy paper from those owing
for subscriptions, and finally had to borrow the
money for the purpose—this in face of the fact
that we have OVER FIFTEEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS owing for subscriptions. We there
fore think it proper, as some have to be missed
in mailing, to miss those who are to blame for
■our condition. A large number who said they
could not pay us in monsjy, proposed to pay in
provisions. But we have but one single instance
ot such payment to record. Knowing there are
many who could not pay cash without great in
convenience, we proposed to receive pay in
‘‘chips and whetstone's" from them; but there
are many who could pay cash if Ihry would
but thinking the amount a small one they have
deferred payment to "a more convenient season,” 1
and the result hag aggregated the sum above
mentioned. We therefore appeal to them to
call on the publisher without delay and settle,
as the money ia b'KOKNTtv required. Dome
without delay, and if you have not the money,
say a man.
Our issue next week and hereafter will be all
right, but we will not excuse delay in settling
on that,account. We appeal to you; weiely

OUR WiSIIINGTOiH LETTER.
from our regular correspondent.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 23, 187 G.
The death of Speaker Keir, which occurred
at Rockbridge Alum Springs on Saturday even
ing last, at half past seven o'clock, though it
lias long been hourly expected, has cast quite
quite a gloom over this community, among
whi' h lie was well known and highly esteemed.
In fact few public men non-residents of Wash
ington have ever succeeded asjhehas done, with
out an effort on his partin attaching the people
to him so strongly. This melancholy event
leaves the House without a Speaker, as Mr.
Saylor’s term of service as Speaker pro tern.ex
pired with tjte close of the session. He has
been detained here to complete the official re
cord* of the session, and expects to leave for
Cincinnati to-morrow to be present at an. ovation
his constituents have tendered him ; but has
now gone to the springs to testify his respects
and high esteem for the lamented late Speaker
by attending his remains to their final resting
place in Pennslyvania. Mr. Kerr is the fiist one
who has died while holding the position of
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The tremendous water-power of the great
falls of the Potomac in Montgomery county,
Maryland, and about sixteen miles from this
city, at length promises to be made available.
A few months since a number of prominent
citizens of the District and of Maryland took
the matter in band, and after trying various
means to organize a company to erect mills at
the falls sent an agent to England who after
some trouble succeeded in organizing a company
representing $10,000,000, who propose in a
short time to commence operations.
There is now $14,901,054 of silver fractional
currency in circulation, and still some $4,-
078,558 in the Treasury, but still the complaint
is the mint is not turning it out fast enough.
Cook and Terry have joined forces and are in
pursuit of the Indians. The chief medicine
man has arrived at Fori Peck, and brings a
message from Sitting Bull, who says he is will
ing to come in if assured of protection. Gen.
Sheridan, through Gen. Sherman, has obtained
permission Cos enlist one hundred Pawnee scouts.
The President with his wife and son Ulysees,
Jr., have gone to Long Branch, and will be ab
sent till the middle of October, ir peculation is
rife as to whether Gen. Grant will send troops
to the South to influence and control the coming
election. He has used U. S. troopsin the South
against the letter of the Constitution and with
out a shadow of law. How can we be sure he
will not do it again? The resolution introduced
by Mr. Lord, it is well known, has the cordial
approtmbit'on of Governor Tilden, as it has of all
Democrats. But it gave no power or authority
to the President which lie did not possess before,
and it was intended to confer no more. It was
simply an effort of the Democratic. House to
bring its moral influence to bear upon any one
in the South or elsewhere, who might bejtempted
so far to forget himself or his country as to
think of attempting to carry an election by
force, intimidation or bribery. As such it stands
and will remain an enduring monument, of the
patriotism of a b*dy which Republicans stigma
tize as a “Confederate House.’’ To the order
issued thereorqthe Democracy have no objection,
provided that in its execution the laws arc
obeyed, which demand first—That the President
use or permit to be used; the military arm ot the
nation till called upon by the legislature of the
State if it is not in session or cannot be con
vened, and if not by the legislature then by the
ExeciU’ve sitting when the legislature is not or
cannot be assembled. Second—That the exe
gency for the use of the Federal military arm
be such that it cannot be dealt with by the
State. Third—That the military when employ
ed be to enforce order only under the direction
of judici"! officers, and for the purpose of com
pelling obedience to lawful process. If the
Legislature of any State reforts to the Presi
dent, that the lawful authorities are confronted
with the resistance to law, which requires Fed
eral troops to withstand, he is bound to send a
posse to act, and the military must act in such
cases under the judiciary power directing the
Sheriff and Marshal. The Democracy require
for success in the South, nothing so much as
peace, order and quiet. Rumors of riot and
bloodshed there are absolutely essential to the
vitality of the Republican party at the North,
and so far as this order issued by Grant through
Cameron operates to deter law breaking people,
it promotes the election of Governor Tilden.
We published a few days since an item
in reference to a bundle of yarn which
was in a field near Corinth, Mississippi, in
the shape of cotton in the boll at day
break and in the Cotton Exchance at
Memphis, ninety miles distant, in its
present shape, at 3 o’clock the samo day.
This yarn was made by the Clements at
tachment to tho cotton gin.
By the new process of converting seed
cotton directly into yarns, cnly four ma
chines are used, viz : Tho card, drawing
frame, speeder, and spinning frame (such
as are in common use) ; the card only is
changed, and that slightly, by substitut
ing an attachment for the lickerin, as a
cost of about S3OO.
The attachment receives the seed cot
ton, gently if moves the seed, combs out
the dust trash, motes, &c., and delivers
the filaments, untangled and parallel to
the card, thus superseding the gin, press
and compress (which are only used to
render cotton transportable), the willow
er, lapper, double lapper, breakers and
four-fifths of the cards (which are only
intended to try to remedy the injury
done by the gin, press and compress).
It also saves or supersedes the railway
and R. W , drawing head, also all
jack frames, slubbers, mules, twisters,
eveners, &c., &c., together with all the
building, motive power and operatives to
hold drive and attend said discarded
machinery. It saves one half the usual
waste and produces better and stronger
slivers, rovings and thread than can be
made of baled cotton, thereby enabling
operatives to attend more machinery,
and each machine to do more work, es
pecially in the spinning and weaver
rooms. The reason why the card will
do four times more by this process, us
ing the same motive power, is the fila
ments are not permitted to leave the
machinery, fly, or become tangled, but
are kept straight, and carding is but the
straightning of tho cotton filaments.
The extra strenth of tho thread is owing
to the working of the cotton fresh from
the seed, the oil of has kept it
alive, light, elastic and -flexible, with all
its attenuating qu.'Jitietf*.perfect, and to
the fact that it has never before been
napped, cut, or tanglod by the gin, press
ed, 'Compressed, or permitted to become
dry, seasoned and brittle in this tangled
condition, nor has it been injured by the
willower, lapper, double lapper, breaker
and cards, whore tho damage done by
the gin, press and compress are sought
to bo remedied-
This small attachment (only 36 inches
long, by 18 inches square) supersedes (
the above mentioned eight machines.
simply because the first three are used
to render cotton transportable, and the
last five are intended to remedy tho in
jury done by the three first. But these
advantages (great as they are) are not
half that is claimed for the new process.
Tho ginning, seed, bagging and ties are
saved.
Take a bale of cotton on a farm near
Corintb, and see the expenses, etc., in
curred in sending it via Memphis to
Boston, Mass. Hauling to Corinth,
sampling, weighing, deduction’ of 2 to 4
pounds from weight, profits of purcha
ser, freight and insurance to Memphis,
drayage to cotton shed, storage, insur
ance, deep sampling, commissions for
selling, brokerage for buying, deep box
ing, second weighing, repairs, drayage
to compress, compressing, drayage to
steamer or depot, freight and insurance
to Boston. To these add waste, dray
age and stealage, all the expenses, spe
culations and peculations of the guerril
las of the South, and the great cotton
rings of the North, add also the expenses
in our seaport towns (where it is re-eom
pressed to be shipped to Europe), the
expenses and profits of the shipment,
and tbe expenses after its arrival there,
until it is sold to the manufacturer,
who buys only the net cotton (not the
bagging and ties) at bis own price. For
‘-Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds," etc.,
etc, take the surplus crop of the world,
fix and control the price, not only these
but in every cotton mart.
“Europe, China and India” pay gold
for cotton, and cotton fabrics shipped
from Fall River in Massacliusests and
others places. The planter gets receipts
from his merchant for a year’s supply of
provisions, farm tools, etc., and is for
tnnate if the receipts is in full to date,
tho negro for ,his over and above liis
scant food >nd clothes gets jews-harps
and ginger cakes. Who gets the
difference in exchange between the
nations, tho margin of 14 per cent,
between gold and national bank notes?
It probably is one of the perquisites ' of
middle men, except in such instances as
Fall River Manufacturing Company.
Now, if to all these you add the ex
penses, profits, &c., of the manufac
tured )goods returned South, you will
have some idea of what the middle men
received and what the new process will
save to our improverished, but still be
loved South land. For instance take
eight of the above twenty-five ennu
morated items of expense on cotton
in transitu from the field to New Eng
land, viz: Ginning, $4; bagging and
ties, $2 50; freight to Memphis, $2;
commissions, $1 25 ; brokerage, 75 cents;
storage, 50 cents; compressing, 75|cents;
freight to Boston, $6 25: total, $lB per
bale, which on 4,200,000 bales amounts
to $75,600,000. The item of seed is
worth $5 per bale, as a fertilizer, equal
to $ 21,000,000, ami decosticating more
than double its value.
There can be no competition away
from the cotton fields, for seed cottton
will not boar transportation, and none
other can be used.
The crop of 1875 is estimated at
4,400,000 bales, of which the South con
sumes about 200.000, the bftfiinefe- was
shipped North and to Europe; the aver
age price was probably about 10 cents
per pound, or SSO per bale. The en
hanced value of crude cotton when con
verted into yarns is estimated at from
100 to 125 per cent., into shirting and
sheeting 200 per cent., into prints still
more,and into fine muslins 300 to -100
per cent; these are gross freights, but
if the South made her machinery; fun?'
ished her operatives and fed them, they
would be net to her .
The machine has run for five months
steadily, giving entire satisfaction, m'ak
ing first quality of yarns, which sell
readily here for 25 cents per pounfl,
paying for seed cotton from \to cents
per pound. The only objection yet
seen to it is that on the Ist of January
it is neccessary to hold eight months
supply of seed This requires
capital, but pays a large iuterest on it,
for the seed cotton lying in bulk for 12
months greatly improves by the ab
sorption of oil from the seed by the
filaments, rendering them more attenuat
ing or workable, giving them a rich
cream cotton, saving waste from flyings
in working, and enhancing the value
of the staple fully 1| cents per pound,
whilst baled cotton deteriorates nearly as
much in the samo time. These are facts
which some have long known and prof
ited by as planters.
The South has many and important
advantages over the Northeast and Eng
land in manufacturing cotton, such as
short, mild Winters, mere reliable wa
ter power, cheaper land, building mate
rials, fuel, food and labor, exemption
from strikes and direct reclamation. It
would furnish pleasant remunerative
employment to her indigent women and
children (unwilling to enter the field in
competition with the negro) and assem
bling them in villages, around factories,
would afford much greater facilities for
physical, mental and moral training of
children, creating a market for edibles,
and an incentive to farmers around to
diversify their products.
Tho right to use one attachment is
$l5O. One attachment with the neces
sary machinery to convert seed cotton
into yarns, put up in bales, will require
10 or 12 horse power to drive, and from
6 to 8 operatives (mostly boys and
girls) to attend it, and will work up
from three-quarters to one pound of seed
cotton per minute, or 200 to 220 pounds
of yarn per clay, and will cost with roy
nlty $4,500 ; two will cost $7,500 and
three about SIO,OOO. This is exclusive
of the shafting, pulleys, hangers, cans
and belts.—[Chronicle & Sentinel.

Mr. Editor —Dear Sir : Will yon allow me
a small place in your most excellent column?
that I may return my heartfelt and sincere
thanks to the good citizens of our town nnd
comity for past favors, assuring them that what
ever may have been my short-comings in an ,
official capacity as former postmaster at Elber
ton, that 1 endeavored to discharge the duties
of said office to the test of my ability, and hope
in the. gopdness of their hearts they may see
proper to extend to me those favors so gener
ously bestowed us practicing physician.
I am proud to say that the people of Elberton
und Elbert county are noted abroad for their
generosity and liberality, so much so that
strangers visiting the town and county are loth
to leave, and when forced, “ex necessitate," to
do :o, leave with many regrets nod ninny good
wishes for the prosperity of the people. Who,
then, does not thank a kind Pro Vi and nee that
their lot has been cast among such n people.
Not only such a generous but a noble, high
minded and intelligent people, worthy the adu
lations bestowed on them, by those from abroad.
From the high order ot intellect peculiar to
her people, Elbert county has received the hon
orable title of tne banner county of the State,
ant} very justly.
Agaiu tendering my sincere thanks to the en
tire county for past favors, I am, with much re
spect, A. E. Hunter.
EBKATA.
In the article published last week over my
signature there were* a few mistakes which I
wish to correct. In the sentence beginning,
“Shall our parlors and reception rooms be more
comfortably and elegantly fitted up,” the phrase,
“and a good impression in favor of the truth on
all,” should have followed the sentence ending,
“on the minds of the young.”
Again lam made to 3ay, “When He (God)
may design to visit us.” It should have been,
“deign to visit us.”
And again, “will not those who have declined
to give dismiss the theoretical,” should have
been, “dismiss the idea.”
