rency, an «l Money can lie Borrowed
One nod a Half to Two ami a Half’
Cent. i>rr Month.” —
This happy condition of affairs was revealed
in onr commercial columns yesterday, and the
same song lias been sung with little variation
for the past five years. “ Money to let from,
eighteen to thirty per cent, a year." It is in it
self a most unwholesomo condition of affairs.
"What man without capital should wish to ven
ture in business when he must pay such rates
of interest? What man with capital ought to
put his money into trade when he can earn as
good a percentage by simply loaning it, and es
cape all labor and commercial risks ? It is a
wonder that such rates cf interest do not stran
gle business enterprise altogether.
Again: they prove that wo are making very
slow progress in accumulation. These rates can
be maintained only where the bulk of the
people are poor and cramped for money. Tho
prices afford such temptation to loans that there
can bo little idle capital, and yet there is not
sufficient capital to reduce them by competition
among lenders.' These rates make eager lend
ers, but poverty makes hungrier borrowers. In
a word, there are enough people under press
ure, more or less severe, to keep up steadily a
rate of interest which must speedily bankrupt
any ono borrower who should bo forced to use
money steadily at these prices. Whenever the
surplus accumulations of one-half the people
approach tho money deficits of the other half,
wo 6upposo that interest cannot much exceed
legal rates.
Once more: these rates of interest show what
distrust of us prevails abroad. Money, like
wator, will seek its level, if not restrained by
abnormal obstructions. But while money in
Macon has been for five years worth from 18 to
30 cents, it has been worth in New York from
four to seven, and in London from three to five.
The distrust of tho people dam it out of Geor
gia and the South.
Again: These rates of interest show what
miserable economists, and what bad business
men wo are. After studying the subject with
all the lights obtainable, we feel certain that
Southern agriculture ought to be the most profit
able of any great regular business pursuit in the
world; and it has sustained a degree of slipshod
and improvident and wasteful management un
known to any other pursuit, and which would
be fatal to any other. Under fair management
and reasonable economy onr surplus earnings in
cotton growing since the war should have en
abled ns to have become lenders instead of bor
rowers, and yet we find ourselves borrowing at
18 to 30 per cent.
Finally, we see that laws limiting interest to
so-called legal rates are of no use, but a great
evil. They are dead letters. They present to
tho people tho sad and demoralizing spectacle
of tho authority of the State defied and set at
naught every day in the year, with perfect im
punity, and are calculated to bring the majesty
of law into contempt at all points. The repeal
of the usury laws is therefore demanded by
grave public considerations, and their repeal
may possibly cheapen interest, but certainly
will not raise it above eighteen to thirty per
cent.
Atlanta Gossip.
We learn from Atlanta that among the nu-
merons candidates for the Senatorial nomina
tion no ono is apparently pre-eminent in
strength; and in the conflict of preference it
is perhaps not improbable that all may be
shelved in favor of some new man. The nomi
nating caucus takes place to-night. For the
present, interest is completely absorbed in this
controversy.
The Gubernatorial Election bill is now pretty
much settled in its general features, and cur
rent opinion seems to beThat acting-Gov. Con.
ley will not oppose it Some, however, predict
that it will be vetoed.
The Ku-KIux committee raised its session on
Wednesday and has gone to Florida. We are
informed that about the only prejudicial testi
mony against the State, was delivered by
Turner, and Turner’s credibility was terribly
impeached by W. G. Morrill, late U. S. Collec
tor of Internal Revenue in this District If we
are correctly informed, Morrill characterised
Turner as “ the d—dest scoundrel in Georgia,”
and if so thousands will underwrite that opinion.
Turner, however, made an exception in favor of
tho Macon circuit. Judge Cole, of this circuit
was also summoned before the committee, and
gave the most satisfactory report of the general
condition of the State, and the demeanor and
disposition of the people. It is supposed that
Georgia will not suffer much from the report
of the committee.
All parties speak in the highest terms of the’
character and demeanor of tho Legislature.
One of the most candid and intelligent judges
says they have done nothing wrong, hasty or
imprudent so far—that their whole disposition
and bearing is in the highest degree orderly,
conservative and patriotic, and that in point of
intelligence, ability, dignity and decorum it is
a body of which the people of Georgia may well
be proud.
Savannah Republican.—Wo find Col. Reid’s
announcement of his purchase of this paper in
its issue of Wednesday. He states that the
paper will be famished with a new outfit at an
early day, “when, in proper appearance with
tho dress of a journal of the character this
should be," ho will present the Republican for
public criticism. He also states that his pro
prietorship of the Republican does not involve
any present change of its editorial manage
ment. We are glad to know that so able and
nseful a member of the fraternity as is our
friend Sneed, is not to drop out of the ranks.
Under this management the Republican ought
soon to re-occupy its old vantage ground.
Incredible. — Speaking of the Tammany
frauds, a New York paper says that among those
just unearthed is found the payment of $60,000
for a single copy of the Bible for the use of the
Board of Aldermen. It seems an order made
by the board for a copy was constructed for the
purpose of making a job for somebody, into an
order to have a special (single) copy printed;
and it was done accordingly, and was a “fat
take,” jndging from the price charged.
New Ocleans Cotton Receipts.—The N. O.
Times of tho 7th reports cotton receipts 105,-
947 since 31st August against 159,681 for same
period last year. _
Too much Cincinnati nectar caused a young
man, at Augusta, to try and morphine himself
into the other world, on Tuesday, but bis
cheerful scheme was spoiled by the interference
of friends.
North Carolina Apples.—The Fayetteville
Presbyterian, speaking of apples exhibited at
the late Raleigh Fair says:
“And those apples yonder. Talk about the
Northern pippins. Northern people don’t know
what a good apple is, till they have seen a Bun-
oombe raised apple. Look at this, yellow as
gold, fragrant as a violet, with a skin like
satin, or its monstrous red neighbor, scarlet
and grey, weighing twenty-one ounces, ripe
ning for Christmas. There are miles of these
apples all over Buncombe, selling for fifty cents
a bushel. Bat then we all prefer to pay eight
or nine dollars a barrel for Northern pippins.’’
North Carolina apples are without honor in
their own country.’
The Tammany Handicap
Did tho business for the New York Democracy
on Tuesday. No party, howsoever strong, ex
cept the Radical, perhaps, could reach the win
ning post hardened with snch a load as that.
The thieves who plundered tho tax-payers of
New York city have cut the throat of the De
mocracy of tho State as well as their own. They
have shown themselves fools as well as knaves,
and if their destruction was the only result we
would sing Hosannah as lustily as anybody.
But upon tho tide they have let loose, Radi
calism rides once more into full control of that
great State, and Grant will construe her verdict
into an endorsement of his martial law outrages
in South Carolina. Every vote cast against
Tammany on Tuesday, while a condemnation of
robbery, was at the same time a bravo 1 to tho
shameless tyrantinhis wicked crusade upon the
liberties of the whites of upper Carolina. At least
he will surely soconstrue it, and we om well imag-
gino the malignant joy with which tho returns
were received at 'Washington. Akerman’ssnaky
blood and hyena heart must have warned
with venomous joy when ho read, in the news
of tho result, how easy it would bo to olaim
that this vote meant approval of his bloodhound
pursuit of men and women in tho land of Cal
houn. If tho creature’s face ever flushes, or
his cold, fishy eye ever sparkles, the Vote of
New York must have caused both phenomena.
The South will’see—wo fear to her cost—how
tins result will inspirit Radical insolence and
outrage to tho point of absolnte and unmasked
audacity. When that time comes, perhaps
O'Connor, Seymour, Tilden and other New
York Democrats who have so conspicuously aided
in a result which is thus interpreted" at Washing
ton, will find they have swapped one devil for
another vastly more ferocious and intolerable.
They have risen in their might and crashed a
gang of robbers who were plundering tho peo
ple’s treasury and eatiDg out the heart of the
Democratic giant, but in that act they have also
braced tho muscles and nerved with now venom
the soul of the monster who is strangling Anmr-
ican liberty. By the frauds acd corruptions of
Tammany only New York State suffered. By
Tammany’s defeat, and with tho interpretation
pnt upon it by tho Commune at Washington,
millions of freemen, and every safeguard of law
and constitution are pnt in deadly peril. If,
after all, tho Radicals shall use this victory—as
wo honestly believe they will—only to inaugu
rate new and greater frands than ever disgraced
Tammany—only to steal on a grander scale
than Tweed ever dreamed of, then Messrs.
O'Connor, Tilden and Seymour will have found
their reward sure enough. Add that to the ac
count of liberty finally strangled on tho Ameri
can continent, and a vulgar, brutal despotism
firmly fixed at Washington, and who shall say
they have not reaped the whirlwind with a
vengeance ?
Be that as it may, though, our duty hero in
Georgia and tho Sonth is plain. Wo must stand
together closer than ever. Wo mnst never cease
our efforts to gather np and firmly secure our
State and local governments in the hands of
honest custodians. That concerns ns much
more nearly than tho defeat or triumph of the
Democratic party on every field north of tho
Potomac River. Wo see daylight in our own
State, and onr brethren elsewhere are treading
surely in our own tracks. We will do onr de
voir to drive Radicalism from power at Wash
ington when tho time comes, but not at the sac
rifice of hazarding its return to power in onr
midst. That mnst be defeated, whatever else
happens. The Southern States have need now to
exercise the supremest selfishness in shaping their
policy. It is demanded by the most inexorable
necessity. If we can help ourselves and others
too, at the same time, well and good. If not,
then others mnst take care of themselves.
That, as wo conceive it, is tho whole law and
gospel of Georgia, and Southern politics at
present.
The Cotton SItaation.
Tho New Orleans Picayune of the 7th prints
tho following from a special New York corres
pondent :
It is not believed there will bo any fur
ther advance in cotton at present. 'While, on
the other hand, it is the opinion of the best in
tho trade that 17 to 17J is as low as the market
is likely to go, even with unwieldly receipts tho
balance of the current year.
The bureau reports are, for tho most part
laughed at, for the reason that the concern is
condemned out of its own month, and not only
that, it has been notoriously wrong in former
seasons.
A few months since it placed the crop, if
frost held off, at 3,000,000, or thereabouts.
Well, Jack Frost has held off, and the weather
has not been unfavorable for maturing, yet tho
advices received at tho bureau out tho crop
down to a little over two and a half millions.
No Southern journal, with any pretensions to
good judgment or tratb, takes any snch view;
nor has the trade, here or in Liverpool, really
believed in the two and a half reports. If it
did, cotton hero would bo np in tho twenties,
and in Liverpool in tho tens, while Manchester
wonld bo looking after cotton in a decidedly
more anxions manner than she is-at present.
Tho New York Times of Monday, whoso
money editor is supposed to know everything,
argued in favor of a 3,800,000 crop, but not ono
in fifty believe in anything of the kind. Tho
more general opinion runs along the line of
three, three one, three two, and so on np to
three and a half—tho latter, as I have said be
fore, being the outside conservative short crop
figure. Between the 100’s there are the usual
split—like 3,150,000—3,240,000, etc.
In speaking of prices above, I should have
added that it is the opinion of some of the re
presentatives of £pre;gn houses here that while
tho heavy receipts continue.-we shall drop below
Liverpool, althoaghwe are now above it. These
large receipts have completely npset the calcu
lations of many—even those who look for a
large yield—as they were not expected to begin
so soon, and the consequence has been serious
disappointment and loss.
Additional House Committees.
Speaker Smith, on Wednesday, appointed the
following additional committees:

Fulton, Phillips of Echols, Pou of Muscogee,
Peeples of Berrien, and Hall of Meriwether.
Messrs. Camming, of Richmond, Pierce of
Hancock, and Russell, of Chatham, were added
to the Judiciary Committee.
Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the
State University.—This body met at Atlanta
on Wednesday, Governor Jenkins presiding.
The Sun of yesterday says of their action:
A resolution was offered and accepted to me
morialize the Legislature for an endowment of
$500,000 in bonds payable in thirty and fifty
years—tho object of tho endowment is to or
ganize and constitute a University in the broad-
est sense of the term—ono complete in all the
departments essential to a thorough training in
Ml the professions, sciences and arts. The me
morial, accompanied by a plan for such organ
ization and the concurrent expenses, will be
snbmitted to the Legislature by a committee
appointed for that purpose. Gen. Henry R.
Jackson tendered his resignation as trustee.
His private affairs forbado his giving the nec
essary attention to the needs of tho University.
His resignation was accepted. The vaoanoy
will be filled in August next. The attendance
was quite full.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Wo welcome the Talbotton Standard back to
our exchange list, after an absenca of some
weeks. It has risen like Phoenix from its
ashes, and looks brighter and more lively than
ever. We clip tho following items from tho
Standard:
Crop Reports.—Farmers aro busy gathering
in their crops and if the weather continues fa
vorable the entire crop of corn and cotton will
be housed in three or four weeks. Tho cotton
prospect still indicates one-half crop and but
little has gone to market. Since cotton has de
clined to sixteen cents there seems to be a de
cided disposition to hold.
A Serious Accident.—Mr. I. O. Chandler at
Juniper, near Geneva, last week, came near
being killed by the falling of some heavy
timbers he was assisting in raising for a gin-
house, a log falling on him crashed him to the
ground. Ho is improving slowly.
W. H. Searcy, tho oldest and wealthiest man
in Talbot county, died last week aged 94 years,
His wife, to whom he had been married seventy
years, died a few month since. Both had been
members of the Baptist chnrch for that many
years.
Mr. Wooten, ono of the oldest citizens of De
catur county, died last week.
The monthly sales on Tuesday, in Savannah,
Augusta and Columbus show a tight money mar
ket. Much real estate was withdrawn from sale
for lack of bidders. Five shares of Central Rail
road stock sold at Savannah for $118 25 per
share. AtjColumbus the Cooper Plow Manufacto
ry sold at sheriff's sale for $1000, and the Steam
Cotton Mills, which cost $13,000, sold for $424.
Sixty spindles belonging to the same, which cost
$250 each, sold for $150 each.
Of the sale of the Republican, at Savannah,
on Tuesday, the News, of Wednesday, says:
Sale of the Savannah Republican.—The
Savannah Daily Republican, including the job
room, &o., was sold at auction yesterday in
front of the Court House for upwards of eleven
thousand dollars. The purchaser is Wm. A.
Reid, Esq., formerly of the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger, and the snm for which tho
paper was sold to that gentleman, guarantees
the settlement of all legal claims now held
against the office.
Thenew proprietor wa3 placedin possession by
the Sheriff yesterday afternoon. It was yester
day hinted that the paper wonld suspend for a
few days, but Mr. Reid proposes to continue
publishing with the old material nntil new can
be obtained.
The stemship Leo, from Savannah, for New
York, on Tuesday, carried 1,800 bales of cotton,
and on the same day the bark Priscilla, for
Havre, sailed with 2,210 bales, valued at $201-,
440 20.
We find the following items in the News of
Wednesday:
Cabinet Meeting in the Custom House.—
Yesterday Collector Robb was for nearly two
hours closeted with the following named indi
viduals : Sneed, negro, from White Blaff; Frank
Floyd, A. V. Smith, O. L. DeLamotta, negro
night watchman in the Custom-house, also Jim
Simms, negro, and King Thomas, negro. There
were also present a black and h mulatto.
Bland in Jail.—One Bland, who some time
ago committed a murder in Brooks connty, was
yesterday brought to this city, upon a requisi
tion from the Governor of this State to the Gov
ernor of North Carolina, and lodged in jail.
The Harris connty fox hunters are to. have a
grand convocation at Catania, on the 29th, at
which place they will be glad to see all their
brethren who can bring two bounds. On dit, r
that the Chattahoochee rivtr is alive with
Reynards emigrating to Alabama in con
sequence.
Levi Ballard’s gin honse and twenty bales of
cotton, near Palmetto, were horned last week,
cansing a loss of $3,000 or thereabouts.
The Columbus Enquirer prints the following
extract from a letter written from Camden
oounty under date of Oct. 17th:
“All my rice crop is gone. Tho young or late
rice was flooded by the long and high freshet
for nearly a month, which killed it entirely.
Though late, it wa3 fine. Not one bundle was
saved. Onr oldest rice was ready to ent, fine and
tall; that was blown down by the northeast
storm and covered so long that it spronted and
rotted—not a bundle of good saved from all of
it. East of me, where the tides fell some five
or six feet, planters conld cut and take ont, and
will save perhaps a half crop. West of me
shared my fate. Some are still cutting, paying
one dollar per day, andfonnd, for hands; so yon
see the freedmen are making money.”
The Columbus Fair Association has balanced
its books, and has a surplus of several thousand
dollars. So the San says.
Up to Tuesday night registration at Colum-
bns for the municipal election stood 550 whites,
and 450 blacks. There aro about 1400 votes in
the city.
Rev. W. C. Hunter, at present Rector of tho
Chnrch of the Atonement, at Colnmbns, has
been called to the Columbus Episcopal Chnrch,
and will, the Sun says, accept tho call. We clip
the following items from the Snn of Tuesday:
Franklin Cotton Factory Burned—Loss
$35,000—No Insurance.—The Franklin Manu
factory, located at Waymanaville, Upson coun
ty, eight miles from Thomaaton, was burned
last Friday morning, the fire having caught at
eight o’clock, in the piokery. Tho establish
ment belonged to Swift, Hamberger & Co.,
and ran 1500 spindles. It was a factory of long
standing. With the factory were consumed
thirteen bales of cotton. The total loss is
$35,000, on which there was no insurance. The
building was a three-story wooden one. Within
sight is another cotton establishment, a new
three-story wooden building belonging to the
same firm, which runs 2800 spindles. The se
nior member of the firm is Mr. G. P. Swift, of
this city. Mr. Hamberger is also well known
here. The other member is a New Yorker.
N Death of a Noted Physician.—Dr. J. J.
Boswell, for thirty-one years a practicing phys
ician in Colnmbns, died in Brookhaven, Miss.,
on the 30th nit. He wa3 a member of the well
known firm of Billing «fc Boswell, which eDjoyed
snch a large, lucrative and successful practice,
and which Dr. Billing still retains. He came
here in 1835, and left for Mississippi in 1866.
He leaves several ohildren.
Contracts Awarded.—Wilkins & Brothers
have received the contract for the track laying
and tresseling of the North and South Railroad
for the first twenty miles. Grant Wilkins has
the contraot for bnildiugthe Howe trass bridge,
130 feet in length, aoross the Mulberry creek.
The Atlanta Sun says Bollock’s friends say he
will return to that city in about ten days.
Of the testimony before the Kn-klnx Com
mittee the Constitution, of yesterday, to give an
idea of its character, says:
One batch of dirty negro girls swore to one
of their nnmber being beaten so as to be bedrid
den for fonr weeks. The cross-examination
brought ont that in fonr days the beaten woman
walked fifteen miles to a frolic. And the same
party of the perjured wenches were seen count
ing their pay of $35 or $40 each, and chuckling
and giggling over their gains, and vowing to
send others np to lie for hire.
No proof was obtained of a general Ku-klux
organization. The only thing of the kind, a
local affair, was shown to have in its member
ship two Radical revenue assessors. The body
of the outrages were indisputably shown to be
connected with illicit distillation and utterly
outside of politics. In the mountain counties,
where illegal distilling is carried on, the most of
the violence occurs and was proven to be done
to protect the distillers acd their confederates.
The revelations of negro crime have been very
sickening. The bitterest witnesses have been
such negroes as Turner, and snch white Radi
cals as ttenator Brock. One ex-Federal officer
named Lyons, a Republican and a large railroad
contractor, gave some fine evidence to the good
order of the State. Ex-Governor Brown, Ben
Hill and Linton Stephens were summoned be
fore the committee, and testified strongly for
the people.
The Constitution, same date, says the most
important decision of the Supreme Court the
day before was that in the case of Stone against
Wetmore, from Chatham. Wetmore was the
regularly and lawfully elected Ordinary. Gen
eral Terry removed him and put Stone in his
place. The Conrt decides for the civil over
the military appointee.
At the last sale day in Newton connty, two
tracts of land sold for $12 and $13 per acre,
respectively.
LOVES OP THE 84ISTS.
Cartons Revelations of Mormon Inner
Life—Erroneous Opinions About Getting
Wives—The Sealing Process.
San Francisco Chronicle’s Salt Lake Letter ]
the novelties of mobmonism.
Tho telegraph constantly informs you in re
gard to tho legal questions now pending, wherein
the leading lights of the church are being tried
for lascivious cohabitation with women other
than their wives. According to -the revelation
on polygamy the women are held to fce wives by
the Mormons, and the question to be decided is,
whether a’Territorinl statute punishing adultery
can bo applied to men who live in polygamy.
The Prophet himself, George Q. Cannon, a
probable successor of the prophet, and others
have been indicted ned held to bail. The peo
ple, of all shades and classes, await with tho
greatest anxiety the resul r . in the case of Brig
ham Young. If he is found guilty and im
prisoned, vou may expect to hear of a lively
time. At the Conference just passed, thp vast
Mormon audience cried out “Amen” every time
that the polygamy doctrine was proclaimed as
coming from God. The private secretary of
Brigham Young, who has but ono wife, boldly
proclaimed from the Tabernacle stand, before
ten thousand people, that he would enter polyg
amy oa the day Brigham was found guilty.—
These people will not give up the doctrine of
“spiritual wives,” as they politely call it, and
are determined to leave this city and tho whole
Territory in ashes, when it comes to the worst.
Before the late legal proceedings were instituted
Mormonism was considered dying out, but
viewed in the light of persecutions the Mor
mons, who were cold in the faith, are now
among the most fanatic defenders of the institu
tion. Even E. L. T. Harrison, fne brains of
the God-be movement, ha3 discontinued his
“Religions and Philosophical Department” in
the Balt Lake Tribune, of which he was the
principal pillar. This “Department” was strik-'
ing sturdy blows at Brigham and the priesthood.
Harrison naively says in his valedictory that
he has been laboring in the good cause for three
years and now wants rest. Now for other mat
ters:
ERRONEOUS OPINIONS ABOUT GETTING WIVES.
There are thousands of deluded bachelors in
the outside world who think they have nothing
to do but come to Salt Lake, and that the Mor
mons will furnish them with ready-made wives,
with the same facility that a clothing-merchant
conld furnish them ready-made clothing. This
is a serious mistake, and the aforesaid bach
elors will find it out if they should ever come
here. Even a professed Mormon has to earn
by hard work a second wife before he can get
her. At conference times a certain nnmber of
Samts are called to go on missions to various
parts of the earth, to be absent generally three
years. Some go to the Sandwich Islands,
others to Australia, some to England, and others
to different European countries, chiefly Den
mark, Norway and Sweden. If these mission
aries are faithful and make converts, upon their
retnm to Salt Lake, if they so desire it, they
can have an additional wife by applying to tho
Prophet, Brigham. In such a case the mission
aries nsnallypick out some “sister” whom they
converted during their absence, and between
whom, according to the Spirit, there is a de
cided “affinity.” As to the Gentile bachelor,
this is the poorest country in the world for him,
for should he attempt to play the role of
seducer, or even a lover, to any of. the Mormon
girls, a thousand eyes are upon him, and his
life is at stake every movement he makes.
Every Mormon is a policeman, ever watcbfnlof
the household of his brother saint, and woo to
the intrader who foolishly invades any saintly
abode with evil intent. Knowing this, the Gen
tile bachelors are very cautions, and they con
sider life even sweeter than stolen sweets from
Mormon maidens.
HOW A DYING GIRL MARRIED AN EDITOR.
It is a doctrine of the Mormon Church that
no woman C3n get to heaven without the aid of
a man, except in very special cases. To be
married and a mother in Israel is eternal salva
tion in heaven for the saintess. Witlijnt this,
in the other world the deceased saintess mnst
serve as a kitchen girl or waiting maid to some
resnrrected mother in Israel. This strange doc
trine is thoroughly believed by the Mormon
women, and hence their eagerness to be married
either in or out of polygamy. A case illustrating
this has come to our knowledge. A beautiful
young girl of seventeen was on her death-bed,
and being unmarried she requested that a cer
tain well known editor should be sent for, to
whom she wished to be “sealed,” and thus gain
eternal glory in tho kingdom of God. The
elders complied with her wish, the editor reached
the deathbed, and there, in the presence of wit
nesses, the living and the dytog were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony. Tho editor was
already a married man, bat his religion mado
him take the dying girl to wife. Instances of
this kind are not rare. Snch a marriage is con
sidered doubly sanctified, owing to the solemn
surroundings.
HOW A WOMAN MARRIES THE MAN SHE LOVES.
When a saintess falls ia love with some
brother in the chnrch, whether married or sin
gle, and she despairs of gttting him through
her own fascinations, or he will not respond to
her own affectionate yearnings, she goes to tho
Prophet and makes known her wishes, stating
that “ the spirit” (neither devil nor woodchuck)
moves her to marry Brother Smith or Brother
Jones, as the case may be, and that by him she
wants to be a mother in Israel and raise np an
gels to the Lord. This might he considered an
indelicate movement if attempted in the Gen
tile world; bnt hero tho affair is managed as a
matter of fact, and tho man so plaionieally
ohosen is rather envied than otherwise. Well,
tho Prophet sends for the chosen one and makes
known the facts in tho case, usually slapping
the brother on the shoulder and good naturedly
remarking: “Ah! brother, yon are a happy
man." This little sally of pleasantrymeets the
candidate chosen for theslanghter matrimonial.
Dear sister Sarah Jane or Sopbronia Ann is
sent for, a mutual recognition takes place,
probably for the first time, and arrangements
are made to carry out the marital programme.
It often happens that the candidate is already
deep in polygamy, bnt the addition is tftnsid-
ered an extra jewel in the household crown.
The other wives are seldom consulted in the
matter, and the harem may bo increased with
out their knowledge. Strange to say, young
unmarried men are seldom attacked in this
manner, such women, strange to say, usually
preferring the polygamists. Well, there no tell
ing what a woman will do when she takes a no
tion into her head.
MOTHERS WHO ADORE POLYGAMISTS.
Will it be believed that any woman wonld so
far forget her duty as to prefer that her
daughter would rather marry an old and gray
headed saint, already over head ana ears in
polygamy, than a single man ? Such is tho
fact, however. Of our own knowledge we know
of mothers who rail with frantio fury if their
daughters keep company with single men, while
old married men are welcomed to the household
with open arms. The fanatioism of such
mothers isTamentable, but in nine eases ont of
ten a mother always carries her point It can
not be said that snch mothers are in the
majority here, yet there are enough thus blinded
by religious zeal to sacrifice their daughters on
the unholy altar. Indeed, they quote the Old
and New Testaments, tho Holy Bible, in cor
roboration of their matrimonial mania. Some
times, like Barkis, the girls are willing, and
sometimes they are not.
THE MAN WITH SEVEN WIVES.
Do yon know how a saint manages seven
wives? We will briefly explain in a social and
domestic way. Take seven weeks as the time
to mako the tour all around, and yon have it.
The first week he stays with No. J, exercising
all the rights and prerogatives of a hnsband.
Then comes No. 2, who has another week; and
when No. 7 ha3 had her turn the “muchly mar
ried man," as A. Ward had it, commences again
and goes the rounds. Bnt while he is doing
this lord and master business for No. 1, the
dntifnl husband is not prohibited by law or
custom from visiting his other spouses. If the
women all happen to live under the same roof,
the wives do the honse work week about, so that
they are only engaged in domestic drudgery one
week in seven. If they live in separate houses
then each has to do her own work. If one be
comes sick it is the duty of one of the well
wives to take care of her and act as nurse. If
the polygamist is called away on business affairs
the first wife, is supposed to be the head of the
family; though generally some brother acts as
a proxy, and manages the most serious duties in
the absence of the chief of the household. This
is the theory and praotice, whether a man has
two wives or twenty. Sometimes, however, the
theory is left to take care of itself, and the prac
tice is principally applied to the favored wife
or wives.
THE WIVES GALL EACH OTHER BISTERS, ETC.
The various wives of a polygamist do not call
each other by the name of their husoand, bnt
simply as sisters. For instance, Sister Mand,
Sister Jennie, Sister Nancy, SiBter Kitty and
Sister Nellie are all married to the same man,
and that man is named Smith; if Mand wants
to speak to or of Jennie, she says “Sister Jane,”
and not Mrs. Smith. The husband, when in
the presence of one or more wives, in speaking
of or to them, usually says Sister Kitty or Sister,
Nelly, seldom calling her by the endearing name
of wife. The wives, in tho same manner, call
their husband Brother Smith. They aro all
“brothers" and “sisters.” It takes some time
to know who is who, oven among the initiated.
It is told of Brigham himself that one day one
of his wives called upon him for some favor,
saying, - “I am Sister and Brigham, as
tonished, answered that he had not seen tho
sister before to his recollection. And so goes
tho world of Zion.
HOW OLD MEN COURT YOUNG GIRLS.
When any of the venerable old sinners in
Zion gets his eye upon some innocent young
virgin he docs not act like an old saint in the
Gentile world—that is, to get up stolen inter
views, mako costly presents and appeal to her
vanity, love of dress and luxury. The father in
Israel goes boldly in open day, or by the smiling
moon, calls upon the object of his devotion, and
then talks religion to her. Tho Holy Book is
quoted, from Genesis to Revelations, and
plural marriages are proved to be of God. Ap
peals are made and continued, and if the beauty
remains unconvinced, then the climax is at
tained by the further biblical proof that “ the
Saviour of Mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ,”
came of polygamous stock, and hence his great
power and eternal glory. Finally, the poor girl
yields to this religious onslaught and is led like
a Iamb to the delioious slaughter. This may all
seem like a dream or a huge joke to the wicked
world outside Zion, but it ia a matter of solemn
duty hero. Old men, who have been “ faithful
to the Lord,” who have built up the kingdom of
Israel and suffered persecution for its sake, are
thus, like David of old, rewarded with the vir
gins of the land.
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE “SEALING" PROCESS.
Nothing. Some parties who pretend to know
everything—those individuals with noses long
enough and sharp enough to punch a hole
through this ball of mud on which we vegetate—
have written on the mysterious subject, pre
tending to explain the whole thing. We doubt,
however, if any other hnman being, save and
’except the initiated, can say what transpired
during tho “sealing” operations. To all others
the thing is as invisible as a woman’s heart.
That snch a rite is performed there can be no
donbt. All second, third, fourth and fifth wives,
and wives without nnmber, have to endnre the
ceremony; also those old women who are left
widows and are “sealed” to the living, for the
dead, not exactly as wive3—for it is contrary to
the doctrines of the chnrch to cohabit with such
—bnt rather as “wards,” who are to bo cared
for in their old ago. A brother who takes snob
wards knows that when he pegR ont to the ‘ ‘spirit
land” some surviving brother will do a like fa
vor for his aged marital female monrners.
The Southern States and the Cotton
Manufactures.
From the Financial Chronicle, November 4 ]
Can the South develop a large cotton mann-
facture ? This question has been often discussed
of late. It is now agitating the popular mind
there to an extent which is full of promise, al
though the masses of onr people at the North
can scarcely understand it. The obvious answer
is that the industries of any country are the out
growth of the genins of the people. Climate in
fluences may be favorable, an abundant supply
of the raw material may offer itself, cheap labor
may be abundant; but all such conditions are
in vain, if, as in Brazil, India or Egypt the
genres and institntions of the people blight and
paralyze the development of manufacturing en
terprise. We have often applied these princi
ples to the Sonth, since the close of the war
brought the gradual elevation of labor to its
just place among the productive forces of the
country, and we have never been able to reach
,but one conclnsion. Hence, we have no hesita
tion in endorsing now, as heretofore, the opin
ions of those who declare that the Sonth can, if
she will, prosper and grow rich by this and
other manufacturing industries.
One of the facts on which rests this hopeful
view cf the question is that wherever cotton mills
have been established in the Southern States
thoy are paying handsome dividends. Thns the
Petersburg (Va) cotton mills have recently
published a statement showing their financial
operations for eleven months of the year end
ing last Angnst. The net profit is shown to be
equal to twenty-five per cent, on the capital
stock. The company pay a rent equal to two
and a half per cent, on their capital stock, and
the managers, with a pardonable self-compla
cency, make a comparison of its prosperity
with that of similar corporations, and intimate
that no other cotton manufacturing company
in the United States can make a showing of
profits equal to that which they have realized.
We might cite other examples from tho list pre
sented in confirmation'of their arguments by
the promoters of mannfactnring industry in the
cotton growing States. In Georgia, for instance,
tho cotton mills at Augusta and Columbus
are enjoying singular prosperity. But the im
portant point of the controversy is, whether this
promise of prosperity rests on a trustworthy
basis of permanent order and pnblio quietude.
If so, the destiny of the South to develope its
material wealth with a rapidity heretofore un
known may be regarded as certain. It is note
worthy that some of the profonndest thinkers
and the best men in the cotton States are agi
tating these questions, and that the disparage
ment and despondency and aversion in which
such discussions were formerly approached seem
to be giving way to a more rational attitude of
the public mind. This movement, indicating,
as it does, a growing submission and enlighten
ment as to politico-economical truths, is
rich in hopefnl promise.
The Southern States, as Mr. Bright observed
in the British Parliament on a memorable
occasion, have snch resourcesjthat “the whole
earth offers nothing more fertile or more
lovely.” But these riches need to be developed.
They are npt possessed till they are realized; and
their development is no donbt intended in
the insorutable designs of the Great Arbiter of
nations to call forth both from the North and
the Sonth snch co-operative social and moral
forces that not a few difficulties will thus solve
themselves, which are now pronounced hopeless
by some who ought to know better.
Tho great masses of the American people
have always refused to take a discouraging
view of the industrial future of the South. Its
inhabitants, though different in some of their
qualities from the more composite population
of the North, are not incapable to recognize or
to obey their own 'interests, nor devoid of am
bition to enrich themselves by conferring in
dustrial wealth and prosperity on our common
country. They are now rid of the paralyzing
incubus of slavery. They are for the first time
in their history inviting emigration. ' They will
gradnally be reinforced by those industrial ele
ments of popnlation and productive power
which are now their chief wants. This inflax
will attract capital, which is the other great
want of the Sonth. There is no more intelli
gence required to spin cotton than to plant, se
lect, clean and sell it. The spinning and weav
ing brings swifter returns, and demands less
capital in proportion to the product than does
the investment in land and labor for raising the
orop. It was formerly supposed that the man
ufacture of cotton goods was incompatible with
the agricultural production of the raw material.
Bnt this opinion has been long ago refuted by
the logic of facts. Every cotton mill established
in the Sonth and managed with vigor has won
success. We repeat, then, that the Sonth may,
if she will, develop a prosperous cotton manu
facture. She has great facilities for the pur
pose, and success in the use she makes of them
depends wholly on her own will. This success,
however, can be secured only by compliance
with several conditions which we shall hereaf
ter discuss in greater detail. A brief reference
to one or two of the’ ohief must now suffice.
First, the development of manufacturing in
dustry will eventually cause and require a large
influx of workers from the North, which must be
encouraged. Still there is no need to wait for
immigration. They have a vast amount of un
employed labor ready for employment in the
South. The field hands who cultivate the cot
ton may not be fit for the delicate task of tying
knots, manipulating warps and woofs, or wa toll
ing looms and spindles. This work requires one
set of special aptitudes, and another set is
wanted for the rougher and more robust labor
of tho plantation. But the unemployed masses
of the South inolude both classes. Four-tenths
of the people on an average, wo are told, are
fit for the field. One-fifth are endowed by natnre
with the special aptitudes for delicate hand
work, and in the case of colored people the
average of the latter class is said to be somewhat
higher. The work of the millions of idle or half
employed laborers in the South is abundant,
then, to bnild np a large cotton industry, even
in the absence of immigration. What this
Southern labor needs is organization and
training. How are these qualities to be had?
This is a difficult question. We have, however,
some data for its solntion. The experience of
New England, where the old mill hands of
American birth have been to a large extent re
placed by Irish and other foreign unskilled and
untrained laborers, will be of service to onr
Southern organizers of industry in showing
some of these data; and their own arrangements
at Petersburg, Augusta, Colnmbns and other
Southern manufacturing centres will be proba
bly of more value still.
Secondly, this Southern development of in
dustry needs capitaL To get it the owners of
this capital require guarantees. They demand,
first of all, safety. Show that an investment is
safe and exempt from riek and in proportion to
its prodnetiveness, money will flow into it. Let
our Southern people show to the world that the
business of manufacturing cotton hero is a per
fectly safe investment, and will pay fair profits;
or that there is not much danger of loss, while
the profits aro unusually large; and they will
command here, if not in Europe, all the capital
they can judioionsly use for this purpose. They
have cheap food, cheap fuel and motive power,
and cheap labor. These elements of productive
power are enjoyed at the South in a degree su
perior to what is found in any of the present
cotton-manufacturing districts here or abroad.
Still all these advantages are of little use to them
without capital, and an aptly organized system
of labor.
The Wisconsin Fires—A Summing Up
of the Loss of Life ana Pro perty.
A correspondent of the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
who has traveled through the bnmed regions in
Wisconsin, thns sums np the loss of life and
property in the country through which he
passed:
After making a deduction for exaggeration, I
had supposed that 500 would cover the number
of dead on the west side of the bay. I now
learn from reliable sources that the actual
number of interments up to Monday night
counted np to 504. Add another hundred for
remains of ashes and charred bones at Feshtigo
and I think we have not far from the true
number on the west side. Add 150 for the east
side—making 750 in all—and the death roll is
nearly complete.
It is impossible to fignre the aggregate losses
of pine timber and farm property with any de
gree of closeness. It ia the interest of mill
men to underrate the amount of fallen Fine
that most be seonred this winter to savo it. A
medium estimate of damage to pine lands in
the Green Bay region is $400,000. The damage
on the Wolf is figured at $300,000. There is
abundance of hard wood left in places; the
damage to individuals may amount to $300,000.
The loss of the fifteen saw-mills burned is pnt
at 225,000. The loss of cordwood, ties, hem
lock baik, etc., is set at $200,000. The loss of
fences, buildings, wagons, cattle, crops, among
the six hundred farmers cannot be lass than
$600,000—making a total aggregate of more
than $3,000,000, aside from those at Feshtigo.
The country through from Brown county
north to Big Sturgeon Bay, for 400 miles, is ut
terly devastated. At least fonr hundred farms
in this tornado section alone are left desolate—
stripped of every improvement. Fences, barns,
dwellings, implements, furniture, wagons, har
ness and crops, all went np in a “whirlwind of
fire.” It will take thirty years in that cold, hard
soil for their timber to grow again. In the ag
gregate their losses mnst foot np to about $1000
a family. Farmers here have savedhalf of their
teams, that were let loose in the woods, and a
third of their stock. But they have no hay,
straw, grain or feed of any sort—not even the
poor chance of browse in the woods. Nearly all,
with large families, have lost their last cow and
pig. In a ride of six miles, on nearly a straight
line, I saw bnt three hens, and a fanning mill—
the only farm implement left in the town. In
the Belgian settlement, on Red River, sixty-two
families were bnmed ont in a row 1 Not a house
not a shed, not a crop—not one fence rail left
upon another. The families had fled, almost
naked and breathless, to the few cabins on the
ontskirts that were saved.
There are 300, or more, wonnded sufferers
remaii ing in the hotels, boarding-houses and
hospit ils about the Bay. Fifty of the Peshtigo
sufferers were at the Dunlap House, Marinette.
Half of them were able to be about. Burned
ears, faces, hands and feet were common to
nearly all. Many in the rooms conld hardly stir
in bed. There were women with great burns
on the sides and limbs, with faces like kettles,
and hands like claws, bnrned to the bones.—
Men conld fight better, and dare more than
women. Most of them perished by suffocation.
Little children are sadly maimed in their feet
and faces. I saw* one with a heel gone, and
another with an eje. Nearly all will recover
without loss of sight or limb. I conld fill a book
with stories of the hospitaL Most of them suf
fer more from hurlB of mind than body. I have
a sad memory of a poor widow who lost her
crippled boy who went on cratches, and a
sprightly little girl who fell between the burn
ing logs. They were all of her family. “The
screams of both,” she said, “ seemed forever
sounding in her ears.” There is a future, and
no doubt compensation for all these suffering
ones.
Most of these cabins that are left are crowded
with two and three families each. I saw one
with fonr men, five women, and sixteen chil
dren—two of them suckers. They had ju3t re
ceived an outfit of clothing—warm stockings,
knit hoods, thin- shawls, thin gaiters, and light
colored dresses for the women and girls; old
fashioned hats, bnrsted boots, thin jackets,
and summer coats and pants for the men and
boys. ■ There were some occasions of laughter,
bnt none of ridicnle; all were glad and surprised
at getting what they did. I saw no immediate
want of provisions. Flour, pork and hard bread
are distributed to all, packages of teaacd coffee
to most. There are nearly potatoes enough in
{ho conntry, if distributed. Their stock that is
left has beer driven off to meadows and fields
not bnrned over. One large hearted old farmer
was keeping eighty odd cattle belonging to his
unfortunate neighbors. Without stopping to
consider the ways of Providence, or the uses of
philosophy, these simple minded peopleseem to
have understood the art of helping one another.

Tho Kn-Klnx Outrage In Jackson.
Rufns B. Bollock, now defunct, has offered
a reward of one thousand dollars for the Ku-
Klnx who fired Holliday’s mill in Jackson
connty. Some interesting events have tran
spired in that connty last week, which militate
against this theory of onr qnondam Governor.
A nnmber of gentlemen in Jackson ascertained
facts which led them to suppose that the Holli
days themselves had bnrned the mill, and they
retained Emory Speer, Esq., to investigate the
case.
The following significant result was attained:
F. M. Holliday, the brother of J. R. Holliday,
who has suffered so many outrages at the bands
of the Ku-KIux, has been bound in a heavy
bond to the Superior Court to answer the
charge of arson. The trial created great
excitement. J. R. Holliday had threatened the
life of the material witness against his brother,
if he should divulge certain facts, and thiB Hol
liday was arrested nnder a peace warrant at the
instance of Addington, the witness. Both of
the Hollidays resisted arrest, and were taken by
force, the Federal soldiers who had been guard
ing Holliday, mounted guard in the Conrt-
house, as if the oonnty was nnder martial law.
After the decision of the Conrt was pro
nounced, we are informod that the Hollidays
were overheard attempting to induce a man of
the name of Casey, to start a row in the Court*
honse. He made the attempt, which, how
ever, failed, owing to the prudence of the
people. Among tho facts proven, -J. R. Holli
day was shown to have offered the witness, Ad
dington, $8,000 to convict a young man named
McEIroy of bnrning the mil], when McElroy
was shown to have been engaged in nursing a
sick man all night when the mill was bnrned.
These are the men through whose instigation
a nnmber of innocent young men were arrested
at night, hand-cuffed and carried to jail in At
lanta, and the whole affair is regarded by the
people of the county as a vile attempt to make
a Ku-Klnx outrage, and they are glad that ithas
recoiled on the heads of its perpetrators. We
honor the people of Jackson who have had the
manliness and the coarage to enforce the law
against these men, in spite of the bayonets
which guarded them.—Athena 'Watchman.

The Western Meat Supply.
The New Orleans Picayune of Tuesday, in
its review of the Western meat market, says:
Within tho last two years the fine orops of
grain in the West, and the comparatively low
prices which it has commanded, have had the
effeot of bringing the supply of meat food
nearly, if not quite, np to the requirements.
Grain is easily converted into flesh and fat,
and a disproportion in the values of animal and
vegetable food soon regulates itself. With a
magnificent corn crop, therefore, last year,
the meat tamed out one of the largest hog
crops on record, and pork and bacon have sinoe
then ruled low.
The decline in hog meats necessarily de
pressed the value of other meats, and during
the last year the people have been fed even
more cheaply than before the war.
The indications are favorable for a continued
plentiful supply of meat The returns from
several of the largest Western States show a
large increase in the nnmber of hogs over last
year, and the nnmber of beef cattle and sheep
is also increasing. The nnmber of Texas cattle
being driven North is steadily decreasing, and
the local packeries are not slaughtering to the
8>me extent as formerly. This vast cattle hive
will have time now to recuperate and bring up
J her reserve to its former limit.
