Just at the beginning of this century the cotton gin came to give an impulse to the expansion of population and in dustry, production and territory, which has made the South a dwelling place for a great people. The cotton gin made cotton raising profitable, cleared up the swamps and canebrakes, felled forests, opened up and settled Georgia, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas; acquired for the United States Florida, Texas, and in acquiring Texas acquired California and other Paoific and Western territory. It made negro slavery a great system, beneficial to the negro, and the only agency by which the Southern territory could have been opened up so rapidly. Those who de- < 4 oo nounoe slavery, in view of what it has done for this country, should at least study its effects. The cotton gin made the great slave system possible, and slavery and cotton made the settlement and clearing up of the South possible, just as at a former period tobacco made possible the success of the Virginia col ony. This cotton gin came to unlock the South at a most critical period The Clement Attachment. A Model Cotton Mill Which li to Give nn ImycliH •» Southern Industrial rrogiesa. Kuhvillo Am-rican. Unless the statements made about an ingenious machine in use in Georgia are greatly exaggerated, the future growth of the South upon the line of a health ful industrial progrepa is assured beyond ill question. The Clement Attachment is the name of a new invention in cot ton manufacture. The model mtU op erated on the new plan Is that of Strib- blmg, a young and enterprising me chanic at \Vestminater.S.C. J- B. Strib- bling ie agent for the Clement attach ment, and proprietor and builder of the new process cotton mills. There are sir mills in operation—two in South Carolina, three in North Carolina, and one at Corinth, Mississippi. The suc cess of the mills in oppeiation, various descriptions of the process, figures of I actual operations, leave no room to doubt the success attained. _ The new I process is simply the converting by one i machine the seed cotton as gathered into yarn. It is to make every planter a manufacturer, or establish a yarn fac loty from seed cotton in every neighbor hood, doing without gin-houses, lint- looms, cotton presses aud compresses, bagging, ties, insurance, handling. It I dispensea with speculators, weighing, I marking,storage, sampling, commissions I and numerous other necessary expense under the present system. From New England and old England it takes away And gives to the South the manufacture of yarns, if not of cloth, while it cuts off all the expenses between the field and I the market, part of which will be given I to the planter and laborer, while part I Jill disappear in the cheapened product. I The Westminister mill uses a small I creek of six-horse power, a oheap frame I building, the machinery a cotton cleaner, I Clement attachment, 300 spindles, two IteelB.abunch and bale press; cost, 83,- I 0 ™; employs one superintendent,seven 1 |u1b and one boy.

Cotton and slavery really dated, the first almost en tirely, the second as a great institution, from the invention of the cotton gin. As that invention came to create a system necessary to the settlement and growth of the South—a temporary make-shift system, but for all that the the only means of bringing the South to its 1861 stage of progress, this inven tion comes at an opportune moment, when slavery, having done all it could for the South as a community, is out of the way, when we are just ready to make permanent and enduring progress, from the standpoint to which slavery brought the South. It comes at a time when the Southern people have before them the task of building a system of diversified industry, of diversified ag riculture, a society consisting of all kinds of people, engaged in all kinds of pursuits. If it is as it is represented to ie, it will mark, the beginning of an era as pregnant with great results as that which is marked in our history by the introduction of the cotton gin. There is this difference : That invention was the beginning of a temporary but neces sary system, a make-shift agency in progress, which bad to be got rid of at great cost and suffering when it had done its work. This marks the begin ning of a system, built on What is left of that one, on what was attained, all that was really solid end healthy in that progress. Every step made under the ndustry of the new system will be solid and enduring. The effect will be, as soon as its ad vantages are demonstrated, that men will come from Old and New England to engage in a remunerative industry and to find here the employment they are abont to lose there. For Tennessee it may promise little in the cotton line, but it is equally pragnant in promise of remunerative production in breadstuff's, cattle, ftcok of all kinds, and to produc tion and manufactures of coal and iron. Mr. Tilden’s Emphasis. Chicago Times.] Mr. John Sherman and Mr. Samuel Tilden are, or until recontly were, di rectors of the Fort Wayne Railroad Company now leased to the Pennsylva nia Central. Both attended a meeting of the board, and Sherman tel'.s that Tilden showed no hostility, and there fore Sherman took him by the hand as amaD and a brother. Mr.Sherman says: “The principal business of the meet ing was to decide whether we would not make some improvements which had long been needed. The total amount required for them would be about 81,000,000. We had been much at a disadvantage on account of our depot facilities at Chicago, and required a new depot there. I expressed myself favorable to the expenditure. I said that the times were undoubtedly better —that we had delayed making these improvements on account of the dull times- but, now that business was ex panding, I thought that we ought to do our reasonable part toward the travel ing public and for the dignity Of the road. Mr. Tilden, among others, ex pressed the same views, and we unani mously resolved to make the expendi ture. Mr. Tilden was then appointed with me, to draw up the resolution This brought us together. He said : “ ‘I concede the propriety of tt is mat ter. Railroad business is better. Re sumption has come.' Mr. Tilden ein phasized the word ‘come’ in such a way as to convey to my mind the no i»n that it bad come of itself. “ ‘Yes, Mr. Tilden,’ I answered, re sumption has come.’ My emphasis was a little different from his. A Housing Democratic Victory Probable lit 1880, St. Paul, Minn , Globe. There are a few doubting Thomases among the Democrats of this viciuity who seem to regard the loss of Ohio by the Democracy on Tuesday as fatal to the prospects of that party in the Pres idential contest next year. Such men have evidently paid but little attention to the aspect of affairs as presented by the latest elections held in the North and West. A careful survey of the field shows that the Democrats are not rro as liable to defeat as would appear at first glance, but stand more than an even chance of success. In the North the Democracy can safely lay claim to the States of Connecticut, Indiana, New Jersey and New York. There may be some who will dispute the possibility of carrying New York. The present split in the Democratic ranks may lose the State for the Democrats at the eleotion next month. But a year henne this dissension will be healed, and the De mocracy will present a solid front. With a united Democracy the State is certain to cast its electoral vote for the candi date of the party, whoever he may be. A look at the complexion of the next Electoral college presents the following as the probable and almost positive status of that body after the election in November, 1880. UCaulLICiH STXTtS Electoral vole.

Oregon 3 Wisconsin 10 Total— 13 In the above computation we give the Republicans the States of Illinois and California, which may fairly be consid ered doubtful, and granting them both Oregon and Wisconsin, it will be seen that they cannot, by any method of fig uring, command more than 166 electo ral votes, which is 19 less than a major ity. With a candidate for Vice-Presi dent from Illinois—such a man as Gen. J. M. Palmer, for instance—that State could easily be carried by the Demo crats, and in that event the party could afford the loss of New York. But, as we have said, the existing breach in the party in that State will no doubt be healed long before the Presidential elec tion, and with a united Democracy the Empire State will be Democratic to the core. We can afford to allow the Republi can party to take Ohio and yetwin the battle in 1880. There is margin enough to work upon, provided no grave blun ders are committed. In fact, the result in Ohio settles all dissensions on the fi nancial question, and clears the way for a rousing Democratic victory in 1880. . <21J J d Carolina Water-Spouts. Franklin '.N.
