Telegraph & Messenger. WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 23, 1871. News Items. New Bid.—The first sale of new Carolina rice (twelve and a quarter tiereea) was made in Charleston last Saturday at 11 cents. Chicago to he Moved.—Sixteen miles south of Chicago a better harbor and bettor site for a city has been found, and a new town is to be started. The Lowest Outlaws, in Bobeson county, were still uncaught by last accounts. Fifty North Carolina volunteers and fifty United States infantry were anxiously seeking an in terview, but unable to obtain it. Bill Lowery is Three-fingered Jack redevous. Federal Cotjbt-Hocbe in Columbia.—The Columbia Phoenix says work is soon to be com menced on a Federal Court-house in that city, which will include in one building, the Court room and all offices for the Federal officials and a post-offlce. The South Cabolina Cotton Chop.—The Courier correspondence reports the cotton crop of that State inferior to last year, and much damaged by drouth. The corn crop is about the same, but more corn was planted. Both crops in Carolina last year were short. The Jeeset Bailboads.—Enraged at the loaso of the United States Canal and Bailroad Com panies to the Pennsylvania Central, the Jersey papers are agitating the seizure of those works by the Stato, by right of “eminent domain.” Their cost was eighteen and a half millions and the incomo from them, after paying six por cent, to the owners, would nett twelve hundred thousand dollars to the State. Negbo Ku-klux.—They certainly have very livoly times in tbo old Palmetto State. In Union county the house of James H. Gossett, a very inoffensive man, was surrounded at night last week by five negroes, who fired re peated vollios upon it. Fortunately no other damago than a riddled houso and shattered fur niture resulted; but isn’t this “lawful Ku-klux of the United States" a remarkable lively in stitution ? The Bbeaks in the Atlantic Cables, which have been at last repaired, were mainly the re sult of blundors. When tho first cable gavo out last summer, tbo tests falsely located tho break in mid-ooean. The steamer aont to mend it, grappled tho wrong cable and broke that, too. When, at length, aftor the lapse of six months or more of immense labor, the two ends of tho last cable were found, it was ascertained that the break in the first one was near the Newfoundland coast, whore it might have been repaired in a few hours. The Charleston Steamers.—A correspond ent of the Sumter Watchman, on board of the South Carolina at sea, speaking of that craft, says a Georgia passenger declared she was equal to “seventeen pumpkins on one vine,” and in sisted she ought to bo called “The Georgia.” But “The Georgia" of the same lino is, we be lieve, a newer and finer ship than the South Carolina. However, wo learn that both will soon bee olipsed by a new and crack ship, now building for that line, to be called “The City of Macon,” which will be tho finest coastwise steamship in North America, combining in tho highest degree all the modern improvements and all the requisites for “speed, comfort and safety.” The Chinese Labor Experiments.—Scrib ner's Monthly, reviewing the results of the China labor experiments on the Atlantic coast, says this much about Sampson’s experiment with them in North Adams, Mass, and 150 Ohinamen employed at Belleville, New Jersey, as substitutes for so many female laundresses: Briefly stated, tho results of ono year at the North Adams shoe factory are as follows: Chi nese shoemakers, learning the trade within the space of three months, produced goods at the end of that period at a cost of $2 less per case than the Trade Union men had done, and at the end of twelve months this saving in prodaction had increased to $7 per case. Seventy-five Chinamen made 120 cases of shoes per week, while tho same number of Trade Union men had never produced more than 110 cases in the same time. The saving in tho cost of produc tion on a week’s work was, therefore, $840—or $40,000 per year, making a handsome profit in a business which had previously, to use the em ployer’s language, “hardly hold its own.” Thus much for ono experiment in sboemaking. Turn ing to the laundry statistics, we find that the company of one hundred and fifty Ohinamen, at Belleville, reduced the cost of labor at the rate of $10 per week for each person employed, or abont $1,500 per month—making a total sav ing of $18,000 a year by the change from Irish women’s work to that of Chinese men. The Great Storm of Last Friday and Sat- tbday was exceedingly severe along the entire Southern Atlantio coast, and it should be noted was predicted with great aecuraoy by the tele grams from the Signal Bureau. Hereafter, when our readers see a similar prediction, let them get ready for what is coming. We havo copied reports at length of the storm in Savannah. From Jacksonville wo have reports to 5 o’clock on Friday night, when the barometer was still falling. The wind had been blowing strongly from the northeast since Tues day, and by Thursday night was howling furi ously and doing much damage. At 5:15 Friday morning the barometer bogan to rise slowly,but about 9 it fell suddenly, the gale chopped round to the southeast and blow more furicusiy than ever. A groat part of the town was flood ed. Shade trees innumerable and several valu able buildings were prostrated, and others were unroofed. The steamers left their wharves to avoid destruction. On Friday evening the wind veered to the southwest and tho barometer was still falling. At that time tho town was cut off from the outside world by every avenue. The damage to buildings, goods and shipping was believed to be very great. The storm reached Charleston Friday fore noon from tho southeast, and daring the day it changed to the northeast and began to blow cud rain with great violence. The gale, with slight variations, remained at that point until midnight on Saturday. Business was stopped, streets and cellars flooded, and several of the streets were washed into gullies. Trees were blown down or snapped off. Forewarned by the weather reports in the city papers, the shipping made the best preparations for safety and the Courier reports no damage. Who Dbagooned the Louisiana Badical Contention.—Sinoe some of the anti-Grant Badical papers have been making a bit of a fuss over Grant’s Bayonet Convention in New Or. eans. Great efforts are being made to hide the negro under the woodpile. But a dispatch from Gen. Herron to the New York Tribune says: On the evening of the 7th inst, Marshal Packard stated to Gen. Campbell, Judge Dibble and Mr. Fish of the Bepublican, that he had the highest authority in the land for using the Custom-house and troops, and has since stated that Gen. Grant authorized it. The same Packard is on North now to show that the troops were used without Grant’s au thority. Cassius M. Clay is out heavily for philoso pher Greeley for President, and here is one of his reasons: “The South” contains more than a third of onr population. Aside from Alaska, she owns the larger portion of the lands of the Bepublio; she has the better climate and soil, and the world-wide used products—ootton, sugar, rice, and tobacco; she has as fine a raoe of men as exists. I appeal to the calm judgment of all Americans, can we afford to make an Ireland, a Polacd, or a Hungary of these people ? A South ern man, standing by the blacks, as I have done all my life, I say, for their sakes as well as my own, give us a candidate of onr party, like Hor ace Greeley, who comes to us with the olive branch, rather than him who, refusing amnesty, bares the sword for the eternal subjection of a Saxon people. Gen. Gbant in Illinois.—The Chicago Ee- publican (Badical) says that “ it is reported, on very good authority, that General Grant has written to ex-Governor Oglesby requesting him to run for Congressman-at-Large, and promis ing him, in the event of his doing so, the con trol of the Federal patronage throughout the State. Trumbull and Logan have no inflnenoe with the present administration, and Grant wants a friend from the great State of Hlinois.” Benomination of Gbant.—The World pitches heavily into the Tribune in the matter of its opposition to Grant’s renomination. That op position is so timid and founded on such ill- considered grounds, that it is a tacit confession of hopelessness. Mr. Greeley opposes the re- nomination ostensibly upon the one term prin ciple. But the one-term principle takes all its force from a prospective operation. It aims, in advance, to prevent a President from prosti tuting his high office by intrigues for re-elec tion ; but all of Grant’s term has been one long intrigue for renomination. The evil for which tho one-term is a remedy, has been done; and the Tribune’s opposition to Grant must there fore be grounded on personal disqualifications, which'that paper is too timid to charge. The opposition to Grant amounts to nothing. His nomination is secured by the votes of States controlled by his own appointees. The World predicts that Grant will bo renominaied l>y ac clamation, without a vote. Cotton Figures. Tho visible supply of cotton roported by the New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle last Friday night, was 1,786,425 bales, against 1,484,027 at tho samo date last year—showing an increase of 302,398 bales. The increase re ported the previous.week, was 355,700 bales. The New York marketduring tho week badbeen fairly active for the season, with a gradual de cline up to Thursday night, when an enlarged business in Liverpool and unfavorable reports from tho growing crop in (ho South produced a firmer feeling and improvement in quotations of ono-cighth on ordinary and n quarter on low middling. The sales of f utures during the week amounted to 72,050 bales, at prices, ranging from 17| to 18c. for January. Tho total sales for immediate delivery were 14,684 bales. The weather reports from the South were, on the whole, favorable. From Texas there was news of rains, but great damage had been suf fered from long previous drouth. Many coun ties, it was said, would not make half a crop. In Louisiana, the weather was still sultry and showery. The Chronicle attached no import ance to the caterpillar reports from that State. Mobile, Montgomery and Selma reported much needed showers. At Macon it had rained two days (referring to the showers of the 9th and 10th, since when it has been as dry as lime). The mean temperature reports wore as follows: Galveston 84, Memphis 82, Mobile and Macou 83, Columbus 85, Charleston 80. We copy the following from the Chronicle: Estimates of the Cotton Obcp —We notice that some of onr friends both here and in Europe are quoting ns as authority for certain es timates of the yield of the growing cotton crop. This is an error, as we have at no time during the season given an opinion as to the probable total result. All we said was that up to the early part of June there had been fifteen per rent Ions this year as compared with last^year; that is the crop this year must necessarily be fifteen per cent less (how much smaller events subsequent to that date must determine) than the previous one. Since then we have had fine weather, until recently, in Texas and also in tho Tennessee dis trict, wliioh district includes over one-fifth of the crop, that is the whole of Tennessee, the north ern part of Alabama and Mississippi and East ern Arkansas, &■>., and very rainy, unfavorable weather dnring June over most of the balance of the cotton field, followed by good growing weather in July and August almost everywhere except in lower portions of Lonisana, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, in which latter dis trict the weather has been •variable all the time, though, of course, fin improvement upon June. Now to estimate in figures the results of these different conditions of the weather in these va rious sections of the South, while the plant is in its present condition of rapid change, would be claiming a degree of foresight which we do not possess. And yet it strikes ns that every reader, at least everyone who has ever seen a cotton plnnt grow, most bo satisfied that the aggregate result of the surroundings of the crop since June 1, must be a farther loss as compared with last year, though, of course, a very much smaller loss than was feared before the favora ble July weather began. The statement of our Macon correspondent, in a letter dated August 12, expressed only what we should expect to hear when he says that "the plant is small and without that vigor of growth and promise of fruitfulness which it had last year.” We are led to make these re marks in view of what seems to us exaggerated estimates of the crop which are now frequently heard, and which it appears to us cannot be re alized. Eight Hundred From One.—The Wilmington (N. O.) Journal thinks North Carolina soil will beat the world in potato-growing, and tells the following story of how a Mr. Sailing, of Mason- boro, North Carolina, grew 800 potatoes from one potato. The Journal says: 'The original potato was bedded last March 15th. On the 20th of April it had twelve sprouts which were clipped and set out the same day, making twenty-two hills of sprouts. On July 5th, twelve vines were cut from the first twelve sprouts; and on the 28th of July, from tjie last ten sprouts. These vines were divided up and set out in bills, which, in all, amounted to two hundred. They all matured well, yielding four large potatoes to the hill, besides a half bushel of slips for bedding the next year, and a quan tity for hog feed. Who can beat this ?” Litpincott’s Magazine for September came yesterday. It opeDS with chapters one and two of a series of sketches under tho head of Scrambles Among the Alps. No. six of that excellent series “ Wild Ireland,” is given, and part second of “Not Pretty, but Precious. Among the other papers are the City of Monu ments ; At Sea in a Sail-boat; Insect Locomo tion and Shall we Throw Fhystc to the Dogs ? The Comptroller General’s Bepobt.—We have a pamphlet copy of the Comptroller. Gen eral's report submitted to the Governor,' April 1, 1871, of receipts and disbursements for the year ending 31st December, 1870, showing receipts $1,164,303.79-payments $1,444,876.73. It is a pamphlet of 143 pages, which we will ex amine at leisure. Ethiopean Hymnoloot.—A New Orleans cor respondent of the San Francisco Bulletin says a favorite hymn in the negro churches in the Cresent City, begins with this line : ‘Tm gwine to Heaven in a ham basket.” That is suggestive of provisions on the road any way. “Bubbish in Bomances.”—An exchange so heads its review of the current issue of novels frim the American press. Quite right. Never was such an amount of weary trash poured out on an unresisting and inoffensive world as is now disgorged from the press in the shape of so-called “light literature.” Blessed Bain.—A boisterous wind was blow ing all day yesterday from the east and lifting clouds of choking dust from the dry streets. About four o’clock, however, a smack sprinkle came down—just enough to settle the dust and it was a vast improvement. Withdrawal of McCook.—The withdrawal of MoCook from the Democratic candidaoy for Governor of Ohio is due to the failure of his health. Nlgniflcant. The telegraph informs ns that Leslie's ma jority for Governor of Kentucky is about 36,- 000, while the candidates for the other State offices, who ran on the same ticket with him, have 39,000 majority. The telegraph don’t give any reason for this difference; nor do we pro pose to famish one. We merely call attention to the fact that Leslie, who seems to be a weak brother at best, went abont during the canvass butting his head against the stone fence of ac complished facts and swearing that no matter what the National Democracy might do, he—the great and good Leslie—would never, no, never cease to butt his head against the stone fence as aforesaid; while his associates on the ticket, like sensible men, discussed live issues and promised to abide by the decision of their brethren in national convention assembled. This is all we have to say on the subject, ex cept to ask our red hot cotemporaries if they are going to back General Toombs when he starts to the polls next year with a Grant ticket in his hand, instead of that of the National Democra cy? Gentlemen: Time is called! Can’t you come out of your corners ? The Senatorial Election. We find the following card in the Monroe Ad vertiser, of Tuesday: Fobstth, August 21, 1871.—Editor Adverti ser : My name has several times been an nounced in connection with the vacant Seca- torship of this District, and kind allusions made by some of my friends of the press in refer ence to my nomination. Thus far, to avoid any parade of myself in the papers, I have re mained silent, deeming it even donbtful wheth er the Governor would order the election. Since, however, tho proclamation has been issued, and the Ordinaries directed to advertise the election for the 13th of September, I find myself again alluded to in terms of kindness by the Telegraph and Messenger. Longer silence may bo construed into a desire for the position, and it is due myself to say, apart from my own disinclination, that I have the honor, as I understand it, of being ineligible under the Fourteenth amendment to the Con stitution of the United States. Feeling assured that tho eligibility of tho candidate should be unquestioned, the party, in my judgment, should nominate some good and true Democrat, whose voice and inflnenoe can be felt in behalf of a pure administration of Government. Very respectfully, A. D. Hammond. While we deeply regret that Col. Hammond labors under political disabilities, wo cannot too highly commend his course in refusing to be come a candidate under the circumstances. Tho nominee should be dearly and unquestionably el- gible to the position so that there cannot be the slightest objection made, or obstacle raised to his taking his seat. We hope this condition precedent will be insisted upon by the conven tion. The Advertiser suggests Forsyth as the place, and Wennesday, the 30th inst, as the time for holding the convention, which suggestion we endorse. If this is agreed upon, would it not be well for our friends in this county to hold a meeting next Saturday, the 26th, to appoint delegates to that convention? THE GEORGIA PRESS. The Savannah News of -Monday has the fol lowing details of damages resulting from the storm of last Friday and Saturday: Martin’s Industry Light Ship Adrift and Gone from Her Moorings.—The steamship Liberty, on her arrival, reported the Martin’s Industry Light Ship not in sight yeasterday, as she approached our bar. On the airival of the Livingston at 9 p.m., her captain reports that at 2 p. m. he passed the buoys and all other sig nals, but did not see the Light Ship, although he examined tho whole portion of the bar and vicin ity for it. The supposition is that the ship was cast loose from her moorings and gone adrift There are abont ten or twelve men aboard the Light Ship, and she is commanded by Captain Masson, an able and experienced seaman. The Savannah, Seaboard and Skidaway Bailroad.—The damage done on the Savannah, Seaboard and Skidaway Railroad by the recent storm will be sufficiently repaired for the trains to pass over to-day. They will leave on sched ule time. The damage was very serious, seve ral washes occurring between the city and Sand Fly Station, and the switch at Sand Fly Station being also washed out. By unremitting labor, and the greatest effort, the road is now in run ning order again. The Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad.—Several washes occurred on the Atlantic and Gulf Boad daring the storm of Friday and Saturday. A very slight one, abont five miles from the city, was soon repaired, and trains passed over others between stations 6 and 8, in the vicinity of the Satilia river. Trains leaving tho city go no fur ther westward than Jessup. It is supposed, however, that the washes will be sufficiently repaired to allow trains to pass over safely by to-night. Serious Damaoe to the Bice Crop.—The whole back oountry. from Screven’s Ferry to Bellinger’s Hill, is flooded, and the rice crop badly damaged. Serious injury was sustained by the very Ralt atmosphere on Friday, which almost totally destroyed the young rice. Since then the storm has increased the damage, and planters who expected their crops to sverago from forty to fifty bushels to the acre do not now expect to realize fifteen. The famiture of tho Screven House, at Sa vannah, is advertised to bo sold, and the house, itself, is offered for lease or rent, by the own ers, the Messrs. John & T. F. Screven. As a proof of the severity of the late storm at Savannah, the News says large pine trees two feet or more in diameter, were twisted from their roots like switches. Fry, the vamosing State Boad developer of Atlanta, sends word that he will shortly return to that city. But he doesn’t add that he will bring the “swag” back with him. Th6 bond of the Tax Collector of Fulton county, has been fixed at $60,000. Tho Atlanta papers say that the investigation of the Stato Boad frauds will be resumed in a few days. The Atlanta Sun Bays Bullock has telegraphed from New York, ordering all the State Boad books and vouchers to be turned over to the Board of Commissioners appointed by the last Legislature to investigate and audit claims against the road. The board consists of Ben jamin Conley, Badical State Senator; Dawson A. Walker, of Dalton, Badical; and.Maj. Geo. Hill- yer, of Atlanta, Democratic Senator elect from that district. Dr. It, of Atlanta, called Dr. P., of same place, a liar, last Monday, on Peachtree street, Thereupon Dr. P.—with his fist—persuaded Dr. L. to lie down. A fire at Atlanta, yesterday morning, burned the houses of Messrs. W. J. Mallard and T. A Chastain, on Calhoun street. Less on both abont $6,000. Mrs. Newton Beid committed suicide near Carrolton, last week, by jumping into a welL The Griffin Middle Georgian, of yesterday, says: On Saturday evening just before sundown, a street duel took place in our town near Mc Kee’s harness shop, on Hill street, between Dr. Geo. B. Beecher, and Mr. Wm. M. Johnson. Several shots were exchanged, but fortunately, and almost miracuously, no one was hurt. We have sinoe learned that the cause of the difficulty has been amicably settled, and the parties are again on friendly terms. We are glad to h6ar it, as they are both gentlemen for whom we entertain great respect. A fire in Griffin Saturday night burned a house belonging to Captain Low, formerly used as a negro hotel, and greatly endangered the adjoin ing residences of Messrs. J. EL Logan, Shack leford, and Mrs. Thompson. Of crop prospeots in that section, the Griffin Star of yesterday says: Crops.—Th’s month, thus far, his proved most propitious for cotton growth. The un promising fields that got cleaned out in July have grown wonderfully, and taken on fruit be yond expectation, in the last three weeks. Farmers in this section have had a pretty good time to save their upland fodder. Late planted bottoms have come out wonderfully this mouth, but all crops in this section are now needing rain more or less, thongh perhaps too much rain would be more injurious than none at all. The heavy dews at this Beason of the year are a great help to all growing crops. Cotton is beginning to open, and most of our thrifty farmers are ready and anxious to get it out. We clip the following from the Monroe Ad vertiser, of Tuesday: Deplorable Accident.—While on the way to Tabernacle Church, yesterday morning, Airs. Cynthia Hill, of Cox’s district, was thrown from her buggy and dragged some distance, before the horse could be stopped. Her shoulder was broken, and other severe injuries sustained. The horse was frightened by the shaft coming loose and falling against his heels. Late last evening the lady was suffering intensely. “Let Us Have Peace.” We find the following exceedingly sensible and timely words in the West Point Shield of Friday last: There has been more dissension and wrang ling we believe about the “New Departure” (so called) in Georgia than any other of the South ern States, but we are glad to note that the most influential papers in the State such as the Atlan ta Constitution, Maoon Telegraph, Augusta Constitutionalist, Chronicle and Sentinel, Sa vannah Bepublican and Columbus Enquirer re commend that tho true course to be pursued by those who wish to whip the Badicals in the next election, is to eschew wranglings and bitter dis sensions, and unite as one man with the Demo cratic party of the North, upon whatever plat form they may be pleased to put forth. This is sensible, and it seems to ns the only oourse the true patriot could pursue, who wishes to see his country dissentbralled and freed from the jailing bondage of Ku-klux bills, enforcement aws, etc. To the Northern Democracy we look for redemption, and it illy becomes us to dictate to them upon what ground they shall enter the fight in 1872. So far as we are individually con cerned, we are perfectly willing to leave the planning of tho campaign into the hands of such men, as Pendleton, Yorhees, Hendricks Thurman,Black and the Brooks satisfied that they will commit us to no policy inconsistent with sound principle, or detrimental to our honor. These men have been life long friends of our peoplo as well as constitutional liberty and we are willing to trust them. We do hope that the small faction in Georgia who are trying to get up a “rousoment” upon the “new departure” will close their babblings, and that we may present a solid front against Radicalism. In tho name of all that is worth contending for, “Let us have Peace.” Tho Shield speaks the sentiments of an im mense majority of tho honest, unselfish, sensi ble Democrats of Georgia and every other Southern Stato. The magio of a great name, and tho noise and bluster of a few perspiring individuals who seem to think it necessary that they should prematurely tear their shirts, may confuse the people for a brief while, but they’ll see their way, and proclaim it too, at the proper time. When the voice of the Democrats of Georgia is heard officially, these individuals will be struck “spaaohless” to find thatall their bel lowing and cavorting has made so little im pression. In the meantime we want to know how many of them are willing to follow Gen. Toombs to tho polls and vote for Grant against any Northern Democrat, on a “new departure” platform ? We hope they will not all answer at once, for really they speak so long and so loud, generally, that our tympanum might not be able to stand it. What is the difference between a Democrat of tho “new departure” and a Badical? Both indorse the war amendments to the Federal Constitution. We see no difference.— Victoria (Texas) Advocate. The difference is between the natural deprav ity that would bum a house down, and the com mon senso which would be content to bnild a less comfortable one rather than stay out of doors for free discussion of the origin of the fire Petersburg Progress; CHECK! A Grave Charge. New Youk, August 19.—It is reported that affidavits hava been made charging Stephen Pearl Andrews, now editor of Woodhull and Claffln’s Weekly, with violating a young lady, niece of Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull, and it is charged that Miss Tennie O. Olaffln aided and abetted him in the crime. The lawyer of com plainant says the affidavits will be published in a day or two; that they will show a fearful state of society here, and that the revelations will shake the city to its centre. Although there are yet men in arms against the royal authority in Cuba, the Spanish gov ernment bos decreed an act of universal amnes ty. In the United States, thongh not a gun has been fired against tho Federal authority for six years, there is no general pardon yet.
