Southern Manufacture of Cotton Itatr-
ging.
A company has been formed in
Charleston, S. C., for the manufacture of
cotton bagging. A meeting of the stock
holders was held on Tuesday, and the
company duly organized by the election
of the following Board of Directors: F.
J. Pclzer, Rolx-rt Adger, George W. Wil
liams. W. P. Hall, W. Iv. Ryan, William
Lebbv and James S. Murdoch. At a
subsequent meeting of the hoard Mr.
"William P. Hall was elected President of
the company. The object of this com
pany, says the Journal of Commerce, is,
as its name denotes, the manufacture of
bagging, cotton bagging principally. Of
the millions of yards of bagging required
annually to market the great staple of the
5*outh. it is well known that the very
great bulk of it is manufactured in the
North and Northwest, chiefly from
jute imported in the crude state from
the East Indies. From practical ex
periments during the past few years, it
has been found that our low country,
particularly along the sea coast, is ad
mirably adapted to the growth of this
textile, and tire new enterprise will
stimulate and give impetus to its produc
tion, as it proposes to use the native jute
whatever it can lie obtained. The capi
tal of the company is $75,000, which
has all been subscribed for in shares of
$100 each, and with such a board*of
direction as that just elected, we may
soon expect to see the Bagging Manu
facturing Company in full and active
operation, alfording a new field of em
ployment to scores, perhaps hundreds,
of industrious workmen.
Among the ladies who received in
Washington New Year's Day was the

Mrs. Eaton, whose name has been idem

hale, jovial, and bears many distinct
traces of that great beauty for which she
was so much celebrated when our minis

foreign ministers and high officials were
glad to be in her favor.

Wherein Lies the-Great Danger.
The subject of the railroad strikes in
this country last summer still furnishes
a fertile theme for discussion by the Eng
lish press, and speculations as to the ori
gin and cause of the distusbances, to
gether with their probable effect upon
the future of our I tody politic, are not un-
frcquently indulged in. In a late article
on this subject, the Poll Moll Gazette rea
sons that the American strikes have
shown a remarkable likeness with the
labor conflicts with which Europe has
long been familiar, simply because the
United States have been gradually ap
proximating since 1873 to the economical
conditions of Europe. “We no longer
sec,” says that paper, “the fecundity of
production, the restlessness of enterprise,
the immense profits, the high wages com
manded by every sort of labor, the in
flated prices, the unstinted public expen
ditures, which made the economical State
of the Union from the close of the civil
war down to the crisis of 1873, unique
in the history of tile world.” It reasons
further that this change has been fraught
with many hard ships to the laboring
masses. They have seen prices come
down, it is true, but not so rap
idly as wages, and while individuals,
corporations and governments have less
to spend and less work to provide, the
results of former extravagance re
main in the shape of debts incurred
for purposes of mere ostentation—for
gorgeous buildings, splendid hospi
tality and generous expenditures of
ill kinds, when times were flourishing
and “money seemed to pour down in
showers on every community and every
class.”
Seeing these tilings before their eyes,
yet realizing while looking at them their
own reduced condition, the mass of
laboring men, not taking time to con
sider that these liandsome buildings, etc.,
were hut mere relics of a former splendor;
the shadow without the substance of a past
prosperity, came to the conclusion that
they were being oppressed.. Hence
strikes, “outbreaks of the workingman’s
anger at a change which they felt most
painfully, but the true causes of which
they were unable to detect,” resulted.
And. says the Gazette, “in the form of
mere attacks upon property such out
breaks will always be put down easily
enough and with all the needful stern
ness, by the mass of the citizens as soon
as the latter awaken to a sense of their
danger. But if the workingmen, instead
of attempting to extort higher wages
from the railway companies by stopping
traffic and destroying property, were tc
open a campaign for diminishing taxation
by repudiating debt, tve are afraid they
would find only too much sympathy
among the classes aliove them.”
It is in this last expression that the
truth as to the leal danger which is now
threatening the country lies, and it is a
trutli whicli the advocates of a single
gold standard of currency should take
time to carefully consider. The debtor
classes of the country, to. be found in
tile great masses of the people, are bur
dened down to-day with the immense
load? of taxation imposed upon them to
meet the vast debt—State, Federal and
municipal—which oppresses them. They
feel that unless some'hing is done to
lighten this burden they cannot stand up
under it. They see what they naturally
and rationally believe will be an honest,
legal and constitutional relief in
the remonetization of silver, and the
utilization of a precious metal with which
Providence has blessed the country—a
metal so valuable that even disgraced and
demonetized as it is, it is now worth as
bullion very little less than gold, recog
nized as money and stamped as such with
the image and superscription of the gov
ernment. Seeing this they simply demand
the restoration of the constitutional
money of the land in the hope that there
by the circulating medium of the country
may bo made more easy to he obtained:
time? may he rendered less hard, the tre
mendous parnh zation of business and the
constant and ever recurring failures of
business men may be arrested, and they
be permitted the more readily to honestly
pay their debts. They do not and
cannot undersUmd why silver coin should
be disregarded and despised, and they
bo ground down to the last extremity of
taxation, so that gold, artificially en
hanced in value, may be purchased with
which to meet these heavy obligations.
Is it unreasonable to suppose then,
that if these people, the debtor classes
of the country, find themselves denied
this means of relief they will, as one
man. declare that tlic debt is a burden
greater than they can bear, and demand
its repudiation? And then, even if they
do not succeed in this demand, who can
not see that the credit of the country will
be shaken from centre to circumference,
and that national securities must suffer?
The Pall MaU Gazette is right in its
surmises. There is every ground to fear
that should the efforts of the working
men for relief from taxation he directed
towards repudiation they will find much
sympathy from other classes. And noth
ing in the world will so tend to drive
them to this stand as the refusal to give
them the silver money they demand.
The. burden of taxation will lie
heavy enough even with that; hut they
manifest a willingness to bear this, if
only the disposition is shown to aid in
lightening and equalizing the bur
den by every constitutional means.
Otherwise they will feel that they
are still further unjustly oppress
ed for the benefit of a few for
tunate men. and to this they will never
contentedly submit. The simple choice
which will therefore in ail likelihood be
submitted to the bondholder is this:
whether he will prefer to receive for his
bonds an honest silver dollar, or whether
he will rather run the risk of not receiv
ing a cent
Heaths by Accident in New York.
The following gives some faint idea of
the risks daily run by citizens of New
Y'ork, and in fact of alt cities, and shows
the exact number of persons killed in
1876 by accidents of one kind or another:
Scalded to death, 30 persons; burned
to death by clothing catching fire, 4;
burned in buildings, 26; buraed by kero
sene, 4; run over, by steam cars 21. by
horse cars 26, by carriages 0; killed by
collisions of vessels, 5; by fails down
stairs. 51;by falls on the street, 26; down
hatchways, 26; out of windows, 53;
through skylights, 6; inside of rooms,
11: from roofs, 18; from masts,
11; into pits, 3; from wagons, 13;
through lire escapes, 6 ; killed
by Wasting, 6; kicked to death bv
horses, 9; died of hydrophobia, 4; of
sunstroke, 11: killed by explosions, 7,
shot by accident, U , poisoned by acci
dent, 8: drowned, 169; suffocated, princi
pally infants overlaid in bed, 95: killed
by other accidents, 81. The homicides
numbered 48 and the suicides 162, alarge
increase from last year, Of the suicides
49 were by shooting, 20 by hanging, 12
by cutting their throats, 3 by body
wounds, 1 by stabbing, 11 by lumping
out of v indows, 16 by drowning and 50
by poison.
Among the curious accidents were a
man gored to death by a wild steer in the
streets of New Y’ork, and two killed by
falling telegraph posts.
YY’endel! Phillips, who has lately been
making a lecture in the W est, says that
he found nineteen men out of every
twenty-four in that section in favor of
the remonetization of silver.
Patterson's Noble Determination.
Hon. John J. Patterson, United States
Senator from South Carolina, has for
some time past been reported as being
very sick, even nigh unto death. Sick as
lie may be. however, he has by no means
lost his native shrewdness nor his love of
money. Even though it may be true
that his disease is seated in his head, and
that that member of his honorable body
is specially affected, he shows a wonder
ful tenacity to old ideas, and his brain is
clear enough whenever his purse is
touched.
It is authoritatively related of him
that on Monday last, while lying in his
sick chamber, some one brought him the
news of the report that he intended to
resign. It acted upon him like an elec
tric shock. Immediately his brain re
sumed its wonted activity, and raising
himself up he said with great dignity, “I
shall not resign under any consideration.
If I am to lie sick I should lie a fool to
resign, because I can lie here and draw
my thirteen dollars a day."
After this who can credit the rumors
lhat Patterson is in articulo mortisl
Who can hereafter believe the old report
that “he is better with the exception of
his head?” YVho will not rather believe
that his head is the most active and
healthy portion of his body? and what
carpet-bagger especially will not applaud
his noble determination, and declare that
his head is especially level, and that un
der the circumstances he would indeed
be “a fool to resign.”
Patterson, like Butler, may be a rascal,
but he is no fool. His seat in the Senate
cost him much money. He does not in
tend to throw it away, and all hopes of
his resignation must now lie dissipated.
We have it in his own words that he
necer will resign while he can lie on his
bed or travel about the country and draw
thirteen dollars a day. We declared this
to be our conviction when the senseless
rumor of his proposed resignation was
first set afloat, and new the history of
the natiou will record it that we were
right. As far as Patterson is concerned,
even if he should die, it can never be said
of him that he proved false to his prin
ciples—such as they are.

Atlanta, January 11.—The Tennessee
car case of Bullock. Blodgett and E. N.
Kimball, commenced before the jury at
noon to-day. The panel was started at
three o’clock yesterday afternoon. The
accused challenged fourteen and the
State fourteen, and sixty were excused
for cause. Attorney General Ely opened
the case for the State. Isaac P. Harris,

ANOTHER NEW YORK PilU Rt
New Y'ork, January 11.—John F.
Henry, Curran & Co., drug and patent
medicine dealers, have suspended, caused
bv the suspension of E. J. Dunning, Jr.
The concern is one of the largest. If not
the largest, patent medicine firms in the
country, and in the Mercantile Agency’s
books it is marketed us bavins a capital
of $500,000 to $760,000.
There has been no settlement as yet of
the affairs of E. J. Dunning, and the Post
adds: “From all we can learn they are
not in as good condition in several
respects as they were thought and repre
sented to lie when his suspension was
first announced.”
John F. Henry was the Republican
candidate for Mayor of Brooklyn at the
November election.
THE QUESTION OF THE DARDANELLES.
London, January 11.—The St. Peters

Vienna which contradicts the St. Peters
burg dispatch to the London Times, of
the 7th inst., stating that it was rumored
for the prosecution,but nothing important j ihat Austria and Germany had vetoed the
was brought out against Bullock. The
car company did exist, but Kimball evi

them in the contract. The case will oc

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

NOTES A .V D GOSSIP.
Executive Clemency Exercised.
The Four Per Cents.
The action of the Cabinet on Tuesday
last in respect to the four per cent, bonds
has created much comment among the
politicians in YVashingtou.
Tins action was the adoption of a
resolution to UTge Congress so to modify
the law concerning these bonds, as to
provide for a ten dollar liond as the
minimum, the idea being to popularize
the loan, and offer it for subscription
here at home without regard to the
syndicate. It is lielieved that the plan
will be favorably received by the people,
as it will result in keeping the large in
terest payments in this country instead
of distributing them abroad. The Secre
tary of the Treasury now confesses that
he hopes and expects to go ahead with
the ioan, in this way, and thus fund the
debt of the conntry in cheaper bonds.
The movement is regarded by
the Western silver men as a sur
render by Secretary Sherman, who
“sees the handwriting on the wall, and
takes this means of diverting popular
attention from the offers recently made
by American bankers to place the loan
on the home market without the inter
vention of the syndicate.” They regard
it as a great victory for the anti-bond
holding party in Congress, inasmuch as
it will be remembered that the refusal of
the syndicate to place this loan has lieen
held up as the great bugbear in the way
of silver remonetization and a successful
negotiation of the four per cents., and
funding therein government securities at
a lower rate of interest. Certain it is
that if this plan is adopted and success
fully carried out. it will completely do
away with Senator Hill’s great objection
to the remonetization of silver, based on
the ground that such a step wouid pre
vent a reduction of the interest on the
national debt.
The Indian Bureau Investigation.
The report of the board of inquiry into
the Indian Bureau gives a deplorable
picture of the practical workings of this
branch of the Interior Department. Mr.
Galpin, the chief clerk, recently removed
for malfeasance, is found by the board
to have exercised the greatest dc facto
power in official matters, his opinion in
fluencing Commissioner Smith to such
an extent that to indulge his chief clerk
he often departed from views which he
had already formed and expressed. Un
der Commissioner Smith or Chief Clerk
Galpiu the management of the bureau
was characterized by the absence of
regulations, system and methods; by the
suppression of charges and specifications;
by the earn ing on of “semi-official” cor
respondence; by the careless disposal of
papers and records; by the relinquish
ment of authority, or delegation of
official power to another; by the
loss or disappearance of valuable
papers; by unwarranted and factious
opposition to the board of Indian
Commissioners; by unfitness, incompe-
tency, and inefficiency in subordinate
officers; and by general kemoralization of
the bureau throughout. The board also
report that the important duties of the
branch of the bureau in New Y’ork have
been entrusted to an inexperienced per
son. who exercises independent control
in New Y’ork city, and dictates to mem
bers of the Board of Indian Commission
ers; who has appropriated to his own use
or disposal property which fell into his
hands as a government agent, and who
has no record account of his transactions
in part or whole. The dishonest prac
tices of Indian contractors, agents, etc.,
and the inefficiency of the management
which permitted them, are fully and
minutely exposed. Here is an unbounded

The proceedings of the House opened
with voting on the resolution reported
from the Committee on Ways and Means
directing the committees to investigate
the several departments of the govern

the Democrats in a strict party vote. The
rest of the day was taken up with private
bills, none of which, however, were
passed. Adjourned till Monday.
Schurz says he never wrote a letter of
resignation nor thought aliout it.
Lieutenant Bullis, after testifying be

Richmond. January 11.—The heavy
rains for the past two days caused an
other rise in the rivers. 1 he bridge over
the Staunton river, on the Richmond and
Danville Road, which had just been re
placed, was again swept away, this
being the third time inside of two
months. The iron bridge over the same
river on the Virginia Midland Railroad,
between Lvnchbnrg and Danville,was also
washed away. This bridge was de
stroyed during the great flood in Novem
ber last, and had (wen but recently re
placed. Tlie Roanoke river at Weldon,
North Carolina, is also very high, the
water at noon rising at the rate of six to
eight inches an hour. The railroad
bridges at that point are threatened.
Nothing yet has been heard from other
points in the State.
TIIE NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE ON
THE SILVER BILL.
New Y'ork. January 11.—A largely
attended meeting of the Cotton Exchange
was held this evening, James F. Wen
man, President, in tlie chair. Resolutions
were passed condemnatory of the Bland
silver bill, as its passage would be injuri
ous to the entire cotton producing inter
ests of the country, which is closely al
lied with the markets of the world.
It was the interest alike of mer
chant and planter and laborer that our
standard of value should harmonize
with those of the principal commercial
nations of the world. They hailed with
satisfaction the action of the New Or
leans Clearinsr House and Chandler of
Commerce, also of the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange, on tiie subject, deeming
their interests identical.
ARMISTICE NEGOTIATIONS.
Constantinople, .January 11.—The
reply of the Grand Duke Nicholas to the
Turkish commander that he would refer
the latter's overture for an armistice to
St. Petersburg, states that negotia
tions could only be conducted with
himself direct, and there could lie no
question at present of an armistice with
out the basis for peace.
London, January 11.—A Reuter tele
gram from St. Petersburg says: “The

By the official report of the • ensus of
New Y'ork in J875, an increase in popu

of 1870, or a little over 7 per cent, in five

over the whole United States there will
be by 1880 a population of about 45,000,-

Philadelphia, January 11.—A quo
warranto having been issued at the in
stance of the Attorney Genend against
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
to show by what authority they exercise
the rights and franchises of a telegraph
company in this State, a petition was filed
to-day in the office of the Court of Com
mon Pleas for the removal of the case to
the United States Circuit Court. The
petition was accompanied with a bond
for $1,000, and, as the removal is a mat
ter of right, tlie.ca.-c will go to the last
named court.
TIIE LIVERPOOL WEEKLY CRAIN MARKET.
Liverpool, January 11.—The leading
grain circular says : “Anticipation of
the armistice created dullness in trade,
with a tendency to reaction, arising more
from a cessation of demand than from
any general disposition on the part of
sellers to give way in prices beyond a
limited extent. On spot, however, as in
many other markets, the value of wheat
has rather recovered within a few days,
but except in regard to parcels on the quay
there is no quotable reduction, and any
concession made is to avoid the expenses
of storage. In this market to day there
was only a small business in wheat and
sellers accepted a penny, and in some in
stances, ex ship, two pence per cental
under tlie rates of Tuesday. Flour was
equally dull and in buyers’ favor. In
corn there was a moderate business; old
American mixed supporting last quota
tions: new was three pence per quarter
cheaper.
THE DOINGS OF A TRAMP.
New Y’ork, January 11.—This after
noon a tramp entered the basement of
Furneal’s bagging factory, at 256 and 258
Water street, Brooklyn, and was ordered
out. . When going out he struck a match
against a bag of jute. In a moment it wa
in flames," which rapidly extended
into the lower part of the factor} -
There were one hundred and thirty
girls employed in the upper part of the
faeton - , who narrowly escaped being
suffocated and burned. Tlie passage way
being in flames they all escaped without
accidents liy the windows, which opened
on the roof of a neighboring shed. The
flames were confined to the Tower part of
the building. Loss $8,000.
Ten thousand copies of YV. E. Chan
dler's letter have been printed in pam
phlet form as a first edition. Of theSt,
one thousand have been sent to the news
papers of the country, as a work of ready
reference. There is no tilal page, hut on
the cover is printed:
“Can such things be.
And overcome us like a summer’s cloud.
Without our sjYecial wonder?”
The second page has a reprint of the
old handbill issued last spring by Chan
dler, containing a quotation from Evarts’
speech before the electoral commission.
The New York Times says the letters of
Chandler foreshadow an attack upon Mr.
Hajes, in which men of more conse
quence than he is will Ik* the leaders.
The letters are sent out like skirmishers
before a battle. Probably the contest
will beirin as soon as Congress meets.

The San Fianci^co Chronicle publishes
a list of two hundred and forty-three
divorces granted during the past year in
that city. The charge of desertion oc
curs most frequently, and there arc
seventy-seven cases in which the courts
held it sufficient. Extreme cruelty is
alleged in nine cases, and ordinary
cruelty in fifty-nine. Only twenty-nine
of the two hundred and forty-three di
vorces were granted on the ground of
adultery, and tweuty-four for failure to
provide. In twenty cases intemperance
was alleged. The Chrouirle thinks the
record indicates a creditable condition of
public morals in the California capital.
The reports of the Hayes silver wed
ding given to the press set forth that it
was strictly a temperance affair, no wine
or liquor being allowed upon the tables.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times writes, however, that alcoholic
stimulant was ingeniously concealed in
oranges. “3Iany wondered,’’ he says,
“why oranges seemed to Ik* altogether
preferred, and the waiters were kept
busy replenishing salvers upon which the
tropical fruit lay. Glances telegraphed
to one another that the missing link was
found, and concealed within the orange
was frozen punch.
