Friday Morning, September 17, 1875.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Weeping, Wailing and Gnashing of
Teeth.
Returning merchants from New York
tell a dolorous tale about the state of trade
there. It has not been as bad since the
great financial crash of 1837. At the very
season of the year when everybody should
be as busy as they can be, selling, marking
and shipping goods, they are doing little
or nothing. The few customers in town
are generally from the South, and they
are buying very cautiously. Times are
worse than during the Jay Cooke panic.
Goods are offered lower than ever known,
and the anxiety to realize has no parallel
in the mercantile history of New York.
They say that New York and all New Eng
land is in a general state of collapse, and
about the only consolation the people have
is things cannot get much worse.
As badly off as we are in the South, we
are not half as bad as they are. We have a
magnificent crop of cotton just coming to
market, which will flood the country with
an abundance of money, which, if properly
economized, should safely carry us through
the winter and the coming summer. Whilst
this is true of us, our New England friends
have nothing for sale upon which they can
realize more than the cost of production,
and it takes hard work and extreme good
luck to do that.
Our returning citizens further report an
appalling shrinkage in the valuation of
real estate. Everything is low except
taxes, and they are higher than ever known.
In many instances houses and lands are
offered at thirty, forty and fifty per cent,
less than they were held at five years ago.
To add further to the gloom of the picture,
States, corporations, firms and individuals
are deeply in debt, with no money with
which to pay.
The South was the natural support of
that country. It was New England which
dictated the Reconstruction measures. It
was New England which waged war upon
the South for fifty years prior to 1860. It
Avas New England which inspired Federal
soldiers to destroy Southern property. It
was New England which erected the mili
tary and carpet-bag governments here. It
was New England Avhich demanded of Con
gress its measures of revenge, enacted for
the express purpose of crippling, hamper
ing and killing the trade and products of
theJtauth, not dreaming that curses, like
young chickens, will come home to roost.
Commodore Perry’s Flag-Ship Raised.
Erie, Penn., September 13.—Commodore
Perry s flag-ship, the Lawrence, sunk in
Erie harbor sixty-two years ago, was to
day r aised and the bottom found to be in a
‘good state of preservation. She is to be
exhibited at the Centennial.
The battle in which this man-of-war was
lost Avas fought September 10, 1812. The
British ships engaged Avere the Detroit and
Queen Charlotte, the schooner Lady Pre
vost and brigs Little Belt and Chippoway,
under Capt. Barclay and mounting sixty
three guns. Commodore Perry had nine
vessels, the brigs Lawrence, Niagara and
Caledonia, and the Scorpion, Ariel, Somers,
Porcupine, Tigress and Trippe, 54 guns and
490 officers and men. The guns of i he British
were of the longest range and as soon as
the battle opened they Avere concentra
ted upon the flag-ship, the Lawrence
When she Avas sinking Perry left her and
went to the Niagara, half a mile off. and
with his remaining vessels at once closed
with the enemy. The Detroit, Barclay’s
flagship. Avas soon compelled to suiTender,
quickly followed by the striking of the
colors of the Queen Charlotte, Lady Pre
vost and Hunter. J’he Chippeway and Belt
endeavored to escape but Avere over
taken by the Scorpion and Tiippe and sur
rendered to them about one hour later.
Thus every vessel the British had in the,
fight was taken, as Avell as every man.
The LaAvrenee had in officers and crew
101 men. When she went down all but 18
Avei-e either killed or wounded. The combat
lasted only three hours. As soon as it was
oA-er PerkY took off his cap, and placing
an old envelope from his pocket on it wrote
the famous dispatch to Gen. Harrison:
“We have met the enemy, and they are
ours; two ships, two brigs, one schooner
and one sloop.”
Certainly nothing at the Philadelphia
Centennial will be of more curious interest
than the flagship Lawrence.
jtji Augusta Man Has Money W ith
Ralston.
Hr Joe H. Thayer, of Augusta, sends a
long and very interesting letter to the
Edgetie.'d Advertiser, from San Francisco.
We extract:
•• i suppose ere this you all have heard of
the great Bank of California suspending.
I was in the city and saw it all. The news
fell with a great crash upon the poople of
San Francisco and vicinity; and I had the
misfortune to have all my money there,
and at the time of the suspension was left
with only a few dollars in my pocket to
defray my expenses in this great city.
But upon the very night of ay arrival in
San Francisco, fortune chanced to throw in
my way one true friend, who Avas former
ly a resident of Petersburg, Va., and who
liad the honor of commanding a company
in the Confederate war. This kind-hearted
Virginian, knowing AA’here my money was
deposited, came to me and offered to loan
me money or do anything in his power for
me, and by him I Avas made to feel, though
away from my home, relatives and friends,
I had found one true heart- -which, 1 am
proud to say, throbs in the breast of a
Southern man and an ex-Confederate Cap
tain.”
Of the 1.300.000,000 human beings inhabit
ing the globe, 370,090,000 have no paper nor
writing material of any kind; 500,000,000 of
the Mongolion race use a paper made from
the stacks and leaves of plants; 10,000,000
use for graphic purposess tablets of wood;
130,000,000—the Persians, Hindoos, Arme
nians and Syrians—have paper made from
ottou, while the remaining 300,000,000 use
the ordinary staple, The annual consump
tion by this latter number is estimated at
1,800,000,000 pounds, an average of six
pounds to the person, which has increased
from two and a half pounds during the last
fifty. To produce this amount of paper
200,000,000 pounds of woolen rags, 800,000,000
pounds of cotton rags, besides great quan
tities of linen rags, straw, wood and other
materials, are yearly consumed. The
papor is manufactured in 3,960 paper mills,
employing 90,000. male and 180,000 fetnalo
laborers. The proportionate amounts man
ufactured of the different kinds of paper
are stated to be—of wiiting paper, 300,000,-

who attacked and fought the jailer, while
Thomas made his escape.
Atlanta Ccmmonwealth: The Governor has
made 52 requisitions this year upon Gov
ernors of other States lor the rendition of
fugitives from justice. Thedemauds made
upon Gov. Smith by Executive authorities
of other States is hardly one-fifth of the
above number.
The Columbus Times is rightly opposed
to the building of railroads by State aid. It
proposes that the State Road be sold, and
the proceeds be placed in the State Treas
ury, as the best way to repay the tax pay
ers. “Let supply and demand,” says the
Times, "regulate the construction of all
railroads, and the State will be better off if
It Avill cease all appropriations to aid works
of internal improvements.” Well, who pro
poses to do otherwise?
Atlanta Constitution: The meeting of the
Air-Line Railroad stockholders Wednes
day was very lively and noisy. After a
considerable amount of sparring to de
termine whether a quorum of stockholders
were pi esent;, matters were harmonized by
the adoption of a resolution requiring the
chairman of the meeting to appoint a com
mittee of three stockholders to unite with a
delegation from the Pennsyivania Railroad
Company in seeing the first mortgage
bondholders and trying to arrange some
Avay of setting the present litigation. This
committee will be appointed duiing the
afternoon. The meeting then adjourned to
the first Wednesday in November.
Greensboro Herald: Geo. Harmon, Wm.
Leslie and Stephen Atkinson, n- groes, un
der indictments for larceny from the house,
pleaded guilty and wero sentenced by
Judge Bartlett, respectively, to two, four
and five years in the penitentiary. * * The
numerous friends of Judge John A. Simou
ton, of Greenville, Ga., for years a citizen
of this place, will be pained to learn of his
death, Avhich "occurred on the 9th inst.
Judge Simonton was a true man, and, in
his death, Meriwether county has sustained
a serious loss. * * In the case of Fannie
Oakes vs. the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company, a suit for damages for the
killing of Mr. Oakes, plaintiff’s husband,
an engineer on the railroad, which occur
red several years ago at Union Point, the
jury gave a verdict of $7,700 for Mrs.
Oakes.
McDuffie Journal: From information de
rived from reliable sources, we are confi
dent that a petition, signed by the leading
citizens and presented 10 the Railroad au
thorities, would secure the extension of the
accommodation train from Augusta to
Thomson. We believe that the officers of
the road, who have taken the trouble to in
vestigate and compare the expenses neces
sary for the additional run, and the accom
modations and benefits which wou and accrue,
both to the people and the road, are satis
fied that the extension to this point would
be mutually advantageous, and have not
only ceased to oppose, but now favor the
movement. We. hope therefore, that our
citizens will take the matter in hand at
once, prepare a suitable petition, and for-
Avard the same to Judge King.
Atlanta Constitution: The city is again

coming. The objects of the meeting, which
will be held to-day, is to take into consider
ation the general outlook for business in
the South, the movement of the crops, and
the appointment ot a “committee of arbi
tration” composed of tlm e disinterested
parties, to whom shall be referred for set
tlement all questions for dispute arising
between the roads belonging to the pool.
We will endeavor to learn the full particu
lars of the meeting for the edification of
our readers to-morrow morning.
Columbus Enquirer: Tiie result of the
trials of the negroes arrested in Washing
ton and other counties for conspiracy to
get up an insurrection, proves the fidelity
and impartiality Avith which law is admin
istered in Georgia. Even the bitterest
Radical presses of the North compli i ent
Judge Johnson and the juries for the stern
ness Avith which, under circumstances avcll
calculated ■to bias and irritate them, they
adhered to the letter of the law governing
the case. They did their duty manfully.
But it by no means follows that the laws
do not need amendment to prevent a repe
tition of such disturbances. There Avas
abundant evidence to shoAV that such a
conspiracy avas contemplated if not fully
organized and made criminal by an attempt
to carry it into execution. Is it best
always to wait until overt acts of
murder, arson or robbery are commit
ted, before punishing those aylio conspire
for i-mch deeds? We think that ord nary
prudence dictates a negative answer. Sup
pose that the prisoners in this caso had
been white men, and that thev had been
tried in a Federal court for such a conspir
acy as the Enforcement Act undertakes to
punish? Does not every one know that the
evidence adduced would have been consid
ered amply sufficient to convict them?
That laAV raises the presumption of guilt
when unlawful combinations are proved,
and punishes men upon that presumption
with barbarous cruelty. Under a State law
embodying the provisions of the Enforce
ment Act as to unlawful conspiracies, there
would be no difficulty in convicting and
punishing persons guilty of sueii se
cret combinations and threats as those
proven upon the prisoners acquitted
in Washington and Johnson counties.
If we remember rightly, a bill fram
ing a State law embodying the pro-
A-ision of the Enforcement Act of Con
gress Avas introduced in the Legislature
of Georgia and there defeated. It avou! 1
liaA-e coA-ered the late negro conspiracy,
and hoisted the Radicals “ with the r own
petard.” Perhaps the Georgia Legislature,
at its next session, may conclude that what
is good enough, (or bad enough) laAV to
punish the white man ought also to be law
sufficient to punish the negro, and may en
act accordingly. Another particular in
Avhich the laws appear to be defective or
insufficient, is in the conviction and pun
ishment of persons Avbo attempt to throw
railroad cars from the track. A more at
trocious crime, or one that is likely to
prove more disastrous to human life, can
not well be conceived. There ought to be
no escape from the galloAVS for any one
who attempts it, whether successful or not.
“Symptoms.”
BY JOHN G. SAXE,
“He is sure possessed, Madam!”
—1 Twelfth Night.
If. when you hear a certain lady’s name,
You feel your pulses give a sudden start,
Or blush, as if some secret sense of shame
Had stirred, just then, the currents of
your heart;
And if that name—to put it rather strung
In euptony seems very- much above
AH other names—l think I can’t be wrong
To venture the opinion, you’re in love!
If when at last bv some auspicious chance.
You meet the lady at a ball or play,
You shrink abashed before her modest
glance,
And quite forget the words you meant to
And if, moreover, gazing at her hand,
You wish upon that hand you were a
glove,
It isn’t verv hard to understand.
(See “Romeo and J uliet,”) you re in love!
If Avith two ladies, on a summer’s day,
You sit alone, at luncheon or at tea,
And think if one of them were but away
(A mile or so) how happy you would be.
Yet find your Avits in suen a giddy whirl,
you scarcely speak to her you re think-
But prattLo gayjy with the other girl—
There’s reason for supposing youiein
love!
If all at once your amatory pen,
(Which ne’er beforo attempted lyric lines,
Invita musa —bane of gods and men !)
To fervid song and madrigal Inclines —
Wherein you rashly rhyme of “youth and
“truth,”
And call your subject “darling," ‘ duck
or “dove,”
Or sadly cruel lady’s ruth—
The symptom is unfailing—you’re In
love 1
If of her sex no other you can find
One half so bright or boautdul as she;
If to her failings you are wholly blind,
(The faults, I mean, that other people
see;)
1 If in her "pug” you see a “Grecian nose,”
And never doubt the angel hands above
Are silent Avheii she sings—you may sup
pose,
Beyond the slightest question, you’re in
love!
There is a great falling off of little
boys who try to ride on the behind end

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
TEE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made Into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON'S PATIENT EVENED
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evoiier, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house Is
safer from lire than the card ro >tn.
WThere is al-o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best miMs at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, B iltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a low among many testimonials wtuen we nave received:

Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it t> work the mod satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement 1 have ever vn. v\ e have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picket apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over boating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against lire.
