The Clement Attachment-Cost—
gow Operated—Its Great Value
and Profitableness.
From time to time we have spoken of
that wonderful cotton ginning and spin-
niiu; contrivance, known as the Clemen}
Mtachmcatj and continued to watch its
developments and steady progress in pub-
jie opinion with no little interest. At
first, the invention was regarded by many
as unsatisfactory and chimerical. It was
said to he an old and discarded inven
tion which had been revamped and
brought forward anew for speculative pur
poses. But the curious machine, in pro-
jmrtion as it was investigated and criti
ciscd, seemed to take the faster hold upon
popular attention. At length it began to
he utilized in practice with marked suc
cess, anil now* there is every prospect that
hundreds of these ‘‘attachments” will
soon be at work throughout the cotton
region.
From many elaborate descriptions of
the mechanical construction, operation
and advantages of this machine, the most
complete and succinct that wc have seen.
i a furnished by F. E. Whitfield, Sr., of
Corinth, Mississippi, and may be found in
Ibc last issue of the Patrons of Husband-
ry.
We mention, in substance, some of the
hading features connected with the cost
a .„l operation of the Clement attach-
no m. The price of an entire set of new
machinery at the Bridesburg factory,
Philadelphia, is S-1,000, but if part of the
machinery, say one-half, be second haud-
«.<! the cost will not exceed $2,500 or
<3,009. Great care should betaken, how
ever, to send on an expert to select the
second hand material that may be utll-
TUE SAX Hill. CASE.
Four hundred spindles are required for
the manufacture of the coarser yams, and
from four hundred and fifty to five linn
died w hen tbe finer numbers, ranging
from fourteen and upwards, are pro
duced.
One machine will work up from five
hundred and fitly to seven hundred
pounds of cotton in ten hours, and re
quires fourteen hundred square feet of
solid floor, besides another apartment or
attic foi feed talde, cleanser and tempor
ary supply of seed cotton. It may be
driven by an engine of seven or eight
horse power, or the usual water wheel
Tbe latter is much the least expensive.
Seven or eight operatives, all women or
girl-, over ten years of age, arc sufficient
to operate one machine. These are dis
tributed as follows: One to attend cleans
er and feed table, one at the card and
drawing frame, one at the speeder, two at
tiie .-pinning frames, and two at the reels
and thread press.
The yam can he spun as fine as No.
gift, or finer than can be procured from
ordinary ginned cotton.
A suitable building should be two sto
ries in height, solidly constructed and well
braced to sustain the jar of the machinery,
with an area of 2,000 feet of floor for even
the smallest mill.
Treated by the Clement Attachment,
the raw material is more than doubled in
value. When the numbers produced are
very fine, the increase in value will reach
125 per cent. The new process is thought
also to enhance the quality of the yarn as
compared with that manufactured from
the haled cotton of commerce, as the thread
‘•is more sheeny and much stronger.”
Heady sale is found for all the yarn, and
it is asserted that there are 25,000 looms in
Philadelphia whose proprietors buy all
their thread, and do not use a single spin
dle.
In Europe, too, the general custom Is
for one set of mills to spin the yarn, and
another do the weaving.
To run all the year, an eight months
supply of cotton should he purchased in
January, to afford material until the new
crop begins to be harvested.
It is estimated that the net proceeds by
the use of tlm attachment is from one to
one and a half cents per pound of seed
cotton, and the machines are much mere
durable than the common cotton gin, be
sides being exceedingly simple. The cost
j’t .* n of each attachment is $200, and
with all the changes in the card about
$575. This does not include the royalty
of $150. The entire fibre is removed
from the seed, tints saving six or eight per
cent, of lint obtained from the cotton seed
from ordinary gins by oil mills. - *
The attachments can be made, of all
sizes, so as to suit any card from thirty to
sixty inches, and all lands of cotton
card, say ordinary top-feed self-strip-
per*, worksr and strippers, or thVrollcr
cards.
The mills are netting, Mr. Whitfield
says, from thirty-three to fifty per cent,
per annum on their investment. At least,
all within the scope of his knowlcd^s are
doing so. They may be found insipjciiss-
ful operation at Windsor, XorthUarolina;
Westminster, North Carolina, at Mat
thews’ Depot, Mccklcnbcrg county, North
Carolina, Andersonville, South Carolina,
Newborn, North Carolina, Tuscumbia,
Alabama, and many others are in-, process
of construction. That at Senoia will be
gin work this month.
it should be borne in mind that all the
seed co'.ton put aside to be treated by the
Clement Attachment, should be thorough
ly dried in the sun before it is packed
away in bulk. Otherwise the heat will
cause the seed to sprout and stain the
lint, besides retarding the cleansing opera
tions.
The writer has often seen Sea Island
cotton dried thus, packed as hard as a
board, and kept in perfect order fora
whole year. Indeed, the essential oil of
the seed scents to penetrate the lint, im
parting a soft texture and rich, creamy
color.
The above comprises a compendious
resume of what Mr. Whitfield has to say
of the Clement Attaclunent in tbe Patron
>•/ Husbandry. If the half that Is claimed
lor it i$ true, a great revolution must be
wrought in the handling of cotton, ere the
lapse of many years. The work of onr
cotton mills will lie confined, in a great
degree, to the manufacture of cloth from
t,ie thread produced by these machines,
•rtid the staple will find its way to market
a far less bulky form than heretofore.
The gain to the farmers, too, would be
immense. It is too soon*liewever, to cal
culate with certainty upon such results.

invL-ittion from the best available data,

—The New York Sun says the long-ru
mored dissolution of the British Parlia
ment is announced for Easter. The epoch
is chosen with Lord Beaconsfield’s custom-
ary adroitness, and some of those who „ * - , ,
mea of its weakening him will probably presiding judge did not err in the refusal
be disconcerted, for the moment, at eet- of the request to charge, or iu the .ciiarce
The Decision of the Supreme Court.
The announcement of the refusal of a
new trial in the case of Samuel H. Hill,
convicted of the murder of Simmons in
Atlanta, was made through the telegrams
of yesterday. Below will be found so
much of the decision as is of interest to
the public. It was read by Judge Jack-
son, formerly of this city. Interest in the
case has extended over the whole State,
and the public will read the fiuale of the
whole trial with close attention. It is one
of the great cases of the State, and fixes
several legal principles. From this decis
ion there is no judicial appeal, and the
only hope the prisoner now has is in Ex
ecutive clemency: „
When analyzed, the grounds taken in
the motion for a new trial may be classi
fied under four heads. First, alleged er
rors of the court below in respect to the
jury. Secondly, in the charge to the
jury. Thirdly, in regard to newly dis
covered testimony. And fourthly, in up
holding the verdict as authorized by the
law and evidence.
We come now to consider the* errors
assigned upon the charge and refusal to
cliaige. The portions of the chaige ex
cepted to seem to have been cut in seg
ments from tlie_ body of the charge.
Without stopping,' however, to see wheth
er the whole segment embodies more than
•one point, and whether, in that view, any
of them can he reviewed under the ruling
of this court in similar cases, if strictly
applied, let us analyze them to see what
rear points are relied on, as well as we
may, from the wholesale manner in
which they are presented.
The main point made, as it strike us, is
that the court did not fairly submit to the
jury section 4334 of the code, which enacts
that “all other instances which stand on
the same fooling of reason and justice as
those enumerated shall be justifiable homi
cide.” Defendant insists that the court
should have turned the jury loose upon this
section, and should have instructed them
that “when a man kills another for having
criminal intercourse with his wife, it is for
the jury to decide whether the killing
stands upon the same grounds of reason
and justice as those enumerated in the
code, aud if they so believe, it would be a
case of justifiable homicide.” The judge
declined to give this request, but instruct
ed the jury that “there is no principle of
reason or justice enumerated in the code
by which, after an Injury shall have been
consummated, uo matter how great and
no matter how grievous that injury may
be, the party injured would be justified in
taking vengeance into his own hands, and
in deliberately seeking out the wrong doer
and slaying him;” that “the existence of
such temptations, provocation or passions,
might be looked to for ascertaining motives
or to inquire whether the killing was in
tentional or malicious, but would alibi'd
no justification for the killing if perpetrat
ed for the mere purpose of vengeance,
punishment or vindication;” that “one of
the principles of reason and justice on
which a homicide can be justified is this:
That such homicide was committed as a
defense against an injury, to prevent an
injury of the serious kind described, or to
stay its progress.”
So that the issue is plainly presented,
whether homicide to he justifiable must
be in defense of wrong or to prevent its
consummation—in the language of the
judge, “to stay its progress” — and
whether, if committed for a past wrong,
distant enough for passion to cool, even
adultery with the slayer’s wife—the killing
is justifiable iu law.
The question turns on our code. What
are the previous sections referred to in
section 4334? They are -1:530, 4331, 4332
and 4333, and so far as at ail applicable
here, they read as follows in giving, the
instances of justifiable homicide: “in self-
defense, or in defense of habitation, per
son or property, against one who mani
festly intends, or endeavors, by violence
or surprise, to commit a felony on either;
or against any persons who manifestly in
tend and endeavor, in a riotous aud tu
multuous manner, to enter the habitation
of another for the purpose of assaulting
or offering personal violence to any per
son dwelling or being therein. A bare
fear of any of those offenses, to prevent
which the homicide is alleged to have
been committed, sliall not be sufficient to
justify the killing. It must appear that the
circuinstauces were sufficient to excite the
fears of a reasonable men, and that tlic
party killing really acted under the influ
ence of those fe^i s; not in a spirit of re
venge. If after persuasion, remonstrance,
or other gentle measures used, a forcible
attack and invasion on the property or
habitation of another, cannot be preven
ted, it shall be justifiable homicide to kill
the person so forcibly attacking and inva
ding the property or habitation of anoth
er; but it must appear that sucli killing
was absolutely necessary to prevent such
attack and invasion, and that a serious in
jury was intended or might accrue to the
[ierson, property, or family of the person
rilling. If a person kill another in Iris
defense, it must appear that the danger
was so urgent and pressing at the time of
the killing, that in order to save his own
life, the killing of the other was necessa
ry; and it must appear, also, that the per
son killed was the assailant, or that the
slayer had really, and in good faith, en
deavored to decline any further struggle
before the mortal blow was given.”
These are the enumerated instances
where one may kill another and be justi
fied in doing so; and the legal question is,
docs the principle of defense, defense of
some sort, enter into them all, and can
any case stand on the same footing of rea
son and justice, as these ci.mirteratcd cases
do, unless defense of some sort—the pre
vention of some impending wrong—enters
as an clement therein? Judge Ililiyer
charged that defense against some urgent
and-pressent ’danger must have operalid
on the mind of tiie defendant, or he was
not justifiable; or to put the question on
the case At bar, he charged in effect that
defendant must have killed Siinmons to
prevent him from attempting or consum
mating an impending adultery with his
wife, aud not avenge past auullery with
her, in order to justify the killing. Mark
the question now is not the reduction of
the crime from murder to manslaughter,
but the absolute and unconditional justifi
cation of the killing. In otner words, that
such killing was no offense at all.
It will be seen by merely glancing at
the quotations from the code of the enu
merated cases of justifiable homicide, that
each of them contemplated defense
against Immediate and pressing danger.
It is defense of self, it is defense of habi
tation, property or person; it is defense
against one who manifestly intends or en
deavors by violence or surprise, to com
mit a felony on cither, it is defense
against a mob violently aud riotously in
tending and endeavoring to enter one’s
house to assault or wrong some person
therein; it is defense against real, immi
nent, impending danger; a mere fear of
any offense to prevent which the killing is
done, shall not justify it, the circumstan
ces must be such as to excite reasonable
fears in a rational mind, and the person
killing must act under the influence of
such fears, and not in a spirit of revenge;
not only must it he in defense, but it must
be absolutely necessary to prevent the at
tack or invasion, and even in self defense,
the strongest of all defense, the danger
must be so urgent and pressing at the
time of the killing, that in order to save
one’s own life, the killing was absolutely
necessary.
So that our law broadly separates the
act of deliberately seeking another and
slaying him for past wrongs, however
heinous they may be, from the act of slay
ing another to prevent his doing a present
wrong, or future wrong imminently im
pending. Wherever done to avenge the
past, it is not justifiable; when done un
der pressing necessity to defend life, or
limb, or wife, or child, or habitation, or
property against felonious attacks on eith
er, it is justifiable.
Therefore, our law, In common with
the laws of all civilized states, with
which we are acquainted, forbids ven
geance for the past, but permits defense
■ disconcerted, for the moment, at get
ting what they want.
Is the verdict supported by the evidence,
and is the defendant guilty of murder?
The evidence shows deliberate revenge.
The wrong was a grievous wrong, but
the revenge therefor was conned over and
calculated for weeks. The prisoner’s
statement alone, stripped of all inferiority
to evidence,"and admitted to be the whole
truth, shows a case of deliberate murder.
Hence, the last refnge of counsel, the
change of base, the desire to set up the
plea of insanity on a new hearing.
But what are the facts? The-wife of
Hill was introduced to Simmons as a lewd
woman, and in company with lewd wo
men—as a single woman and not a mar
ried woman—as Miss Etheridge, and not
Mrs. Hill. She was introduced without
his seeking her. One of her companions
in sin sent for him. He took her for a
woman of the town, and so he had cause
to believe her to be, from her company
and conduct. The record shows that
she had been enticed from allegiance to
her husband, if, indeed, her own disposi
tion needed seductive influences to lead
her astray, weeks if not months, before
Simmons knew her. He met her thereaf
ter at balls, where virtuous women did
not go, and at places to name which chas-
ity would blush. He did discover that
she was a married woman, and was Hill’s
wife, hut at what point of time during
their intimacy, the record does not show.
When he made that discovery, he should
have stopped that wild career of sin,
which he seems to have entered un
der the lead of married men, but
he did not. On the Sth day of
December, 1S78, in company
with another man and with Simmons, she
left her home and her husband, about
whose afl’ection for her and anguish at her
departure there can be no doubt, recover
ed her within three days through the in
strumentality of a lewd woman, and her
knowledge that Simmons knew her lodg
ing, who seems to have induced her to re
turn to Hill. Her husband condoned the
past guilt of his wife, as he had the right
to do, and restored her to his home. He
moved her to the country, eight miles from
Atlanta, and about the lCth of January
Simmons was seen to pass and repass once
that country place in a buggy, and about
the same time a note was received by her,
said to be written by him, hut in a dis
guised hand, and Hill received a letter
from her begging him to come to her,
but without stating any j.-articular
reason. Thenceforward, llill seems,
to have deliberately intended to
wipe out his wrongs in the blood
of Simmons; and thirteen days thereafter,
on tbe 20th of January, just after Sim
mons had been shaved in tiie barber-sliop
of the National Hotel, and was at the
counter of the bar-room, about to settle
for a drink lie had taken, Hill stepped up
beliiud him and with some profane or vul
gar exclamation prefixed to the remark,
‘shoot, you’ve got it to do,” as Simmons
turned to see what or who it was, shot
him through the face and h>-ad, and about
tiie last exclamation of the dying man
was, “lie shot me for nothing!” The
dead man had no chance for his life. Hill
may have thought Siinmons was armed,
and from his exclamation it seems he did
think so, but Siinmons had uo weapon
drawn, and was allowed no time to draw
one if lie had it. If this be not muider
what can make a case of murder, wherever
in the past there lias been great provoca
tion ? Hill, in his statement, admits tiie
killing for revenge, and puts his defense
there. He says that he wouldhave killed
another paramour of his wife, but that
he was not so guilty as Simmons. The le-
;al question, and with that question only
it is our duty to (leal, is narrowed there
fore to tills : Is a man justified in deliber
ately hunting down anotligr who commit
ted adultery with his wife nearly two
months before the homicide, and thirteen
days before rode past the house where she
was and wrote to her about the same time,
and in deliberately shooting him down
without a moment’s time for defense,
when he knew at the time of tlic ldllin
that the wife had left his home, and that
others were guilty, also, although not so
much so, in his opinion; or do these
facts reduce the homicide to voluntary
manslaughter?
There cannot bo found a case in any
law book with which we are familiar that
approximates such a conclusion. It
only where tiie danger is so imminent and
immediate that one cannot appeal to the
law for help, that, in civilized society, he
can help himself.
It is true that where virtuous wives or
sisters or daughters are insulted jurors are
slow to convict tbe avenger of tiie afi’ront,
though time enough had elapsed to put
passion under tiie sway of reason; but even
m such cases no court has ever held, or
can hold without becoming instead of ex
pounders makers of the law—that such
verdicts are in accordance with the law
The Augusta case of shooting at another,
in our own reports, is wholly unlike this
There no breath of suspicion soiled the
purity of the wife. Tiie very evening be
fore, the affront was given ; and the
insulter the very next morning at break
fast had the audacity to take his seat
the same table, aud Immediately in front
of the insulted woman and the guardian
of her virtue; and it was in that case that
tills court ruled that tlic jury might
consider whether it stood on the same
ground of reason as the cases enumerated
it> the code. The wife was not only pure
hut present; passion, just kindled up the
night before, flamed up beyond control at
the sight of the aggiessor, who was not
hunted down to he slain, hut who obtrud
ed his presence before those he had
wronged. In tills case Mrs. Hill was safe
eight miles in tiie country; and while tints
safe, Simmons was sought, was found,
and was slain without a moment’s warn
ing.
We forbear to detail further the facts of
tiie case made by this record. We would
not unveil the folly and frailty of the un
happy woman, whose conduct lias robbed
her husband of home and of liberty, and
one of her paramours of life; nor would
we expose the haunts cf vice uncovered
by this evidence, and the men who fre
quent them. We add but a single
mark; If men will take the law into
their own hands, become themselves the
judges of their own cases, and their own
sheriff to execute the sentence themselves
pronounce they must be certain that they
judge the case according to law, and exe
cute the sentence which that law pronoun
ces, or they must suffer the consequences
of their mistake of the law. Homicide
for past offenses, however heinous, delib
erately planned aud premeditated, and
carried into execution, after reason has
had time to assert her supremacy over
passion, is murder; and he who judges
that in his own case it is not, and exe
cutes sentence in such a case on a fellow
being, must suffer the penalty which the
law imposes upon the murderer.
BY TELEGRAPH
London, March 11- — Sir Stafford
Northcote has issued an address to the
electors of elections of North Devon, in
which he says that Parliament has,
throughout a ucriod of unlimited difficul
ty and anxiety upheld the honor of the
country and vindicated its claims to a
proper rank and influence among the na
tions. Its foreign and colonial policies
have all been animated by the same spirit
and the same determination to uphold
the greatness, integrity and constitution
of the Empire, and to knit together the
various races who own the sovereignty of
the Queen. It has labored to avert war,
and where that has been impossible has
successfully striven to limit its range and
prevent complications which would have
been menacing to the particular
interests of the whole country, and
the general peace of Europe. It has em
phatically proclaimed the national deter
mination to maintain, strengthen and de
fend the colonial and Indian empire. It
has earnestly promoted measures for the
advancement of the true interests of Ire
land, while it has steadily resisted pro
posals tending to weaken the ties which
bind the United Kingdom. In domestic
legislation it has kept in view the import
ance of arriving at the general good of the
community. It has been able to effect
substantial improvements in many laws
affecting the great industrial classes. Af
ter a period of commercial depression, of
a most unexpected and grave nature, the
losses of which we have had to endure, it
has supported us. The taxation of the
country is lighter than in almost any year
previous to the accession of the present
government to power, while the real
amount of the national debt stand now at
£180,000below the sum at which we found
it. The war into which, but for decided
policy, we should have probably been
drawn, would have been extremely bur
densome to the tax payers. I trust that
the period of anxiety is drawing to a close.
Should elections result in reward of con
fidence in the present ministry, it will be
our earnest endeavor to show ourselves
worthy thereof, promising the same policy
which we maintained in sight of the em
pire ami the world.

Mr. Jones responded that the army was

The Constitution did not contemplate
Presidential pardon of offenders in milita

from Wisconsin (Carpenter) who thought
the President had the power to appoint
all the officers in the army and the Con

absolutely in Congress. Any other ar

In tune of danger the habeas corpus could

that part of the sentence of Porter imposing

The sentence of a soldier could not abro

the doctrine held by the opponents of the

At the conclusion of Mr. Jones’ remarks,
Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, moved that

The Uses of the Pine Tree.
Like the palm tree of the East, our no

of Meridian, Mississippi, has patented an
improved process for preparing the green
leaf, which adapt it perfectly to the man

the rosin and juices and leaves for medical
purposes. It is a comfort to know that
our forests cannot be exhausted for a de
cade of centuries.

to be seen during the fisheries there, but
none are now visible. The largest single
haul he ever made was in 1852; and the
seine contained 1,054 shad. This was in

two months amounted to only 4.14 inches,
The Columbus record shows 6.30 inches
for the same time. Tho same paper says
that in the year the fall in Macon has
been less than 40 inches. Last cotton
year the fall at Columbus was 56.94
inches, the year before 51.47 and the- pre
ceding year 53.85. How can this vast
difference occur, if each account is kept
accurately ? We think ours is, for we get
it weekly from one of our most careful
warehouses who report from the New
York Chronicle. More rain fell here the
past winter than that of 1S7S-0. In seven
years at Nashville the rainfall has never
exceeded 58.14 inches, nor fallen below
46.91. In six years at Columbus it has
never exceeded 58.79 no faRcn below
51.41.
Mumfobd, ofTalbotton, in the Col
umbus Times, says:
Our railroad boom is still booming,
though we are sorry that the Columbus
boys were so badly disappointed at not
finding the usual “change cars” at Gene
va, yet we can promise great things by the
next court, as we have six months to run
on. Our railroad is a necessity, and it
will be built. No such effort has ever
before been put forward in this county.
The meeting for Wednesday, the 17th,

his work is telling. Nearly $15,000 have
already been subscribed by our citizens,

House that, for the first time in nineteen

for the purpose of controlling his vote in

Richmond, Virginia, March 11.—The
Conservative State Central Committee
met here to-night, for the purpose of call
ing a State Convention to select delegates
to the National Democratic Convention.
The discussion upon the position of the
members of the committee who had acted
with the Readjuster party in the last can
vass, and who had been, as they claimed,
read out of the party for their opposition
to the McColloch bill. Dr. Wise, of Wil
liamsburg, twice refused to say whether
he would or would not pledge himself to
support the Democratic nominee for Pres-
dent, but finally said that as between
Grant and Tilden, he was in favor of the
former, but as between Hancock and
Grant, he was in favor of Hancock.
He was followed in the same spirit
by Messrs. Grover,of Norfolk,and Stovall,
of Henry county, who distinctly agreed
with Dr. Wise in opposing any call for a
State Convention which should include
all who desire the election of a Democratic
President. The proposed call is so wide
as to include everybody who desires to be
Democratic in national politics.

Guards have decided to erect a memorial
armory, which shall commemorate the
reunion of the States and the return of
peace, as distinct from many structures
erected iu the North and South, commem
orative of the events which occurred dur

out of the warmth and cordiality of the
reception given this organization every
where on its late tour through the North,
and the projectors of the building say its
doors shall always be open to all who
march under the stars and stripes, which
shall float from its turrets.

Tho case will b«i entered on the April
