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 you. 2t„ 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. Elberton, Ga., Aug. 28th, 1876. 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.” W.
