otry would occupy so inconsistent and ridicu-
ticular; but I confess there is one sight I should
like to see on this earth before I die; and that
is, I should like to see one of this Ku-Klux
Klan. Whenever party interest is to bo sub
served, whenever it is necessary in the language
of the Senator from Nevada, to make a Repub
lican State, whether the people of that State
wish it to be a Republican State or not, then
the newspapers of the yarty to which the Sena
tor belongs are filled with most horrible ac
counts of the bloody deeds and the terrible
threatenings of this awful Ku-Klux Elian.
“When the people of Tennessee meet at the
polls, and two men, both Republicans, are can
didates for the office of Governor, and one not
supposed to be quite so radical in all respects
as the other succeeds, the State needs to be re
constructed, because then the Ku-Klux Klan
break out afresh all over the State! And when
you have reconstructed Georgia, and become
apprehensive that under the operation of your
own handiwork your objects as a party will not
be so completely subserved as you anticipated,
then up starts the bloody Ku-Ellux Klan to
threaten all the loyal citizens of the State of
Georgia, and especially those superlatively loyal
and superlatively intelligent American citizens
the negroes 1 Then it is that their rights are
to be outraged ; then it is that this horrible
white race are banding themselves in KuKlux
Klaus to destroy every vestige of civil and con
stitutional liberty in the State of Georgia !
“When you again reconstructed her, enter
taining the apprehension that the State might
not be in the future such a Republican State;
not republican within the meaning of the Con
stitution of the United States, but might not be,
according to party name, so Republican as you
desired, you summoned up, if not from the vas
ty deep, from your own imaginations, this
bloody Ku Klux Klan to desolate all Georgia.
“And now, sir, when you are for a third time
reconstructing Georgia, when you have proved
yourselves on your own confession to be but
poor artificers in the work of State-making, we
have again the samo picture of the Ku Klux
Klan! When one of those bills comes before
Congress, if you notice it, if it is deferred for
a month yon hear but little of the Ku Klux
Klan; bnt a few days before it is to be called
up, lo! and behold, wo hear of this terrible
band of outlaws desolating Georgia, and mur
dering peaceful, quiet citizens, especially those
loyal citizens, the negroes!”
Yesterday the Radicals had the debate all to
themselves, if I may call Mr. Carpenter a Radi
cal. Mr. Sumner led off with a long and la
bored, and thoroughly characteristic harangue,
which had been forwarded in printed slips to
the Radical press two days before. Mr. Car
penter, in reply, gave Sumner’s anti-Constitu-
tional doctrines an over-hauling; and then took
up Morton, whom he handled without gloves
and without mercy. Mr. Carpenter’s remarks,
which follow, show that if he sits on the Radi
cal side of the Senate he has not forgotten, or
ignored, the existence of the Constitution.

the country, and but for her permission we
miglit not be able to raise a flag of any kind,
with the payment of any duty however extor
tionate. We sometimes find good in unexpected
places and persons. For example, Alpheus Al
fonzo, or Alfonzo Alpheus Bradley, on whose
“moral character” a jury is now sitting to as
certain whether he may be admitted to practice
in the Supreme Court of the United States with
out detriment to its ermines, is said to be indus
triously lobbying against Bullock amoDg those
with whom he comes in contact TTi« exertions,
I learn, are confined principally to the colored
delegation from Georgia, who came here in the
interest of Bullock. It will be a just retribu
tion if, through the machinations of Alpheus or
Alfonzo, or both or either, which his surname
is Bradley, these delegations shonld be tamed
against the carpet-bag Governor 'of Georgia.
The negroes would show by striking at Georgia’s
worst enemy that if their skins are black they
have white hearts, while the ghastly pallor of
Bollock’s evil face is accompanied by a heart

rope.
Washington, March 25.
Before the war the custom with planters in
the South was to raise cotton, sell it for British
gold, with which they bought slaves and more
land, and raised a larger cotton crop each year.
The war having abolished slavery, the profits of
the cotton crop must seek other channels. The
people of the Gulf States especially seem to be
lieve that as Northern capitalists have seized the
important railroad opportunities from each great
centre of the South to another, the only profit
able investment for their capital is the estab
lishment of manufactures of cotton. In select
ing the article fabric is excluded, but they say
that the fins yarns can be manufactured there
and shipped to Europe. The system of manu
facture in England is entirely different'from
that in America. Not only is spinning in Eng
land a distinct business from weaving, but the
same operator does not engage in both. The
spinner makes and sells the yarn. He takes his
order from the factor or merchant and puts up
the yam in packages of different form and ap
pearance, with a particular length of strand for
each hank to suit the manufacturer in the coun
try where the yam is to be woven. The lengths
vary with the unit of measure and the length of
the piece of measure and the length of the piece
of woven goods to which the foreign weaver is
accustomed. The texture and quality of the
yam also differ for different consumers, and
the points of peculiarity are embraced in the
order.
But all these yams differ from that made in
America in the respect that our yams are hard
twisted to produce the strong durable cloth we
are accustomed to, and our manufacturers are
not particular as to smoothness. The English
make a soft even yarn, which weaves into a soft
fabric taking dyes and printing well, but not so
durable in wear. Weight of cotton is saved by
their mode of spinning. The Southern people
realize this distinction. The Americans are
practical, and are not so wedded to their own
ways that they will adopt no others. The con
sumers of tho English yarns are the people of
tho oldest nations in the world, devoted to old
notions, fast fixed in peculiarities, and no dis
crimination in price will induce them to encour
age innovations upon the groove of custom.
Tho Americans, then, must cater to the tastes
of the old world in this regard. In order to do
this they must adopt the fine peculiar machinery
used in England. The cotton is grown in the
Sonth, and excellent water power can be ob
tained near most of the plantations. The idea
of ntilizing the water power existing alongside
the raw product is creating considerable inter
est ; bnt, admonishedby the experience of those
who have attempted to famish these yam3 for
foreign markets by American machinery, no
one will make the experiment unless he is en
couraged in some way. Alabama comes forward
and makes the first proposition. Representa
tive C. W. Buckley is urging the Committee of
Way3 and Means to report a special bill allow
ing the free importation of the foreign machi
nery used in making these yarns, for one year,
in which time the resnlts of the test will be ap
parent The planters of his district will at their
own expense try it, only asking the government
to put on the free fist for one year a class of
machinery not made in this country, not now
imported, and which taxed with import does not
yield the government a penny of revenue.
Tho average price of middling Orleans cotton
at Liverpool in 1868 was 10|d; of East Indian,
8jd; of Egyptian, llid. Upland cotton and
West Indian and Brazilian cotton quoted. It is
difficult to get at the cost of the total importa
tion of cotton to the English ; and as the value
of tho home consnmed goods is not given, and
the exports of other mannfactnrcs than yam are
retHmed in yards, the added value to a given
number of pounds of cotton cannot be calculated
with accuracy. Bat it i3 generally conceded
that in manufacturing fabrics the value of the
weight of cotton used is increased between
three and four times, The figures for yarn be
ing given in pounds, wo see that in the first
process of spinning, English labor and machine
ry double the value of the cotton that England
receives from us.
The writer then offers an important table of.
statistics, showing the amount of raw material
exported from this country to England in 1868;
also the total amount of cotton consnmed in
that country anring that year, and the countries
to which they were exported. Tho total value
of these British cotton manufactures being
.£123,066,843, while the value of the raw ma
terial is but 4141,666,6GG. -The value produced
by capital and labor daring the year being
£81,430,177, or equal to §394-,936,358.45 in
gold. See what a wonderful inducement.
Says the writer:
“Members of the committee argue that the
scheme is impracticable. Very well. The proof
is in the test If tho Southern or Northern cap
italists are willing to try it, Congress shonld not
allow the bigotry of exclusion by strict adhe
rence to the high tariff theory to interfere with
the attempt. As it will make no difference to
the revenue of tho country whether it succeeds
or fails, inasmuch as exdbntion of the tariff pre
cludes the test, tho most zealous tariff advocate
should waive his scruples in deference to the
possible success of a trial whose successful issue
would develop an industry that would be second
to no mechanical means of equalizing ex
changes."

from the end of the Central railroad bridge on this
side of the river, along the present track of the
road to the point where it is intersected by the
Macon and Augusta road, and thence down this
road to the point where it crosses the river, and
thence up the river to the starting point, would
meet this requirement. The area of ground lying
within this boundary lino famishes the most beau

of men and women, whose health demands their
evening or Sunday stroll, would be able to free
themselves in a few moments from crowded streets
and not be obhged to jump on a railroad train every
time they want to visit a breathing place. Here,
too, the wealth and fashion of the city might take
their afternoon airings, either on wheels or horse
back, or spend an hour on nature’s carpeting of

That Baby.—We had a call yesterday morning
from Mr. W. H. Berry, the policeman who has at
his house the baby to which we alluded in yester

points that do not tally exactly with the statements
then made. The child was left in the care of a
Macon lady by a woman on the Charleston and
Savannah railroad, and not on a train ranning to
this city. At Savannah, the lady having tho infant
in charge, received eeveral presents in the way of
clothing, etc., for it, and determined to bring it on
home with her. Mrs. Berry, hearing of the affair

A not her Railroad Meeting in Gwin
nett.
Lawrence, April 5, 1870.
In pursuance to adjournment, a large portion
of the most substantial and influential citizens
of Gwinnett, representing all parts of the coun
ty, assembled again this day in the court house
to resume the consideration of the contemplated
road from Macon to Knoxville, Tennessee.
_^The officers assumed their seats, and a number
of speeches were made, showing the deep and
abiding interest which all the citizens of Gwin-
net, irrespective of party, are taking in the en
terprise.
After an interchange of ideas, with regard to
the best manner of keeping the bail in motion,
and of evincing the deep interest felt by onr
citizens in the success of the movement, the
following (resolution, offered by Captain T. M.
Peeples, on motion, was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Gwinnett
county, in convention assembled, in addition to
guaranteeing the right of way through the en
tire length of the county, do hereby pledge our
selves to raise the sum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in subscriptions to construct a
railroad from Macon to Knoxville, provided said
road passes through the centre of the coanty
and the town of Lawrenceville, and establishes
a depot at or near the Court-house.
The question of slicing up and disintegrating
the county of Gwinnett having been mentioned,
Dr. A. J. Shaffer, in a few well-timed and
weighty remarks, showing the folly of such ac
tion, and that a very large majority of the citi
zens of the county (including many in the por
tion desired to be cut off,) were violently op
posed to such movements, offered the following
resolution, which, on motion, was adopted with
great unanimity:
Resolved, That this meeting, feeling a deep
interest in preserving the integrity of the coun
ty of Gwinnett, do unanimously instruct onr
Representatives and Senators in the Legislature
to use all their influence in opposition to every
effort made to divide or disintegrate the county
or change its present county lines.
On motion, the Secretary was instructed to
send the proceedings of this meeting to the At
lanta papers, and that the Macon and Covington
papers be requested to copy.
On motion, the Convention adjourned to meet
again on the first Tuesday in May.
