Consideration of Some Rash Conclu
sions—An Issue Not Settled by One
Defeat.
Oar esteemed contemporary of the
Chronicle and Sentinel, in a very able
article upon the Ohio election and its
result, is, in our opinion, too confident
of certain propositions which he lays
down. He say, for example:
The inflation goose is cooked, ami will not
again he brought upon the table. Governor
Allen and his friends made a gallant
light. They have lost, and they must in
good f nth abide the result.
Our friend has fallen into an error in
supposing that there was much of an
“inflation goose’’ to cook. “Inflation”
and “unlimited inflation” were the
scarecrows employed by the Republi
can presses and orators. The Cincin
nati Enquirer answered such sophistry,
recently, by stating that “nobody pro
poses unlimited inflation. Too much
money would be almost as great an
evil as too little. The main thing is to
stop forced specie resumption and con
traction, and do away with the national
bank monopoly. A vote for William
Allen means precisely this.” If our
friend means to say that the issue as
above presented will be killed in the
United States by a slight reverse in Ohio,
a doubtful State politically, by a beg-
garly majority for the Republican can
didate out of nearly if not quite a half
million votes, gained too by almost
superhuman efforts, we think he has
made a grand mistake. In 1868, Mr.
Pendleton’s theory seemed to be a
“dead duck’’ or a “killed goose;” but it
fooled the prophets then and, so far
as its vitality is concerned, even in par
tial defeat, will make them miscalcu
late again. Why should “Governor
Allen and his friends abide, in good
faith by the result?” Were they
pledged to do so, in advance ? Must a
cause be surrendered after one or two
reverses? Our contemporary, in fighting
for the cause of Georgia and the South,
as he has most gallantly and eloquently
done, would be among the last, the
case being personally applied, to yield
to such a doctrine. If such had been
the temper of the heroes of all ages, no
good cause would ever have had a final
vindication.
Our friend continues:
The greenback men were commanded by
their greatest captains, and marshaled
with consummate ability. Not a blunder
was committed. They made the light, and
they were disastrously defeated. From
this decision there is no appeal, and we
may as weU prepare to number the Ohio
platform and the Ohio leaders with the
things of the past. It is too plain a case to
admit of argument.
Really, we cannot subscribe to that.
Our contemporary says “no blunders
were committed,” and theD, toward the
close of his dexterous article, groups
together seriatim a number of causes
for Democratic defeat, which he pre
sumably thinks to be “ blunders.” One
of the greatest blunders ever commit
ted by any party was its disintegration
by Thurman’s lukewarmness, and such
papers as the Baltimore Gazette's and
New York World's positive antagonism.
The gold of the bondholders might
have failed, had not dissension been
bred early in the day by treacherous
friends.
Again says our neighbor:
The South was not thought of in the
struggle; the bloody shirt was not waved;
Reconstruction was forgotten; local self
government was abandoned; free trade
was not mentioned; official corruption was
unnoticed; the only question was hard
money againstlsoft; greenbacks against
gold.
It strikes us that Morton waved a
“ bloody shirt ” of uncommon propor
tions, and the South was only too bit
terly remembered. It strikes us, too,
that Wm. Allen did not spare official
corruption, and, far from letting it go
unnoticed, dealt it some staggering
blows. Extracts from his speeches
published jn this paper will show that
conclusively. There was another ele
ment which exercised a powerful in
fluence, and that was the school ques
tion—a religious fire-brand which
caused the old beacons of Know Noth
ingisrn to blaze from one end of the
State to the other. Had our contem
porary stated that the financial ques
tion was the predominant one, ho
would have hit nearer the mark of ac
curacy ; but around that central point
there rallied other crafty issues such
as we have indicated, which are ordina
rily more than enough to turn a
doubtful balance, and which have very
nearly spent their force in vain.
The greenback issue is not dead yet
by a great deal. A long hard winter
in the East and West has yet to come
with such horrors in its train as far
seeing men can only contemplate with
a shudder. Very likely that element in
our politics will bring a rebound, which
the bondholding ring, in the flush of
supposed triumph, little dream of.
It has not been our fortune to agree
with Mr. Wendell Phillips on many
occasions, but we are at least permit
ted to accept him as an artist of the
first order in depicting what underlies
the explosive elements of his own peo
ple. Here is the picture he draws:
This discussion in Ohio is deeper than
words. Three-quarters of this, nation are
borrowers. Only one-quarter are lenders.
A law compelling specie payments is sim
ply the lenders robbing the borrowers. The
specie men parade themselves as the party
of “public honesty ” Look at it. The man
who borrowed SIOO last month must, if the
law forces resumption, pay sll7 to settle
hfs debt. Thus the capitalist robs his
debtor by asking the Government for such
a law. Let specie resumption come in the
regular course of business, and it Is honest.
Force it by law and it is only a trick by
which wealth adds one-sixth to every poor
man’s debt. Government has a right to in
terfere between debtor and creditor in the
emergency of war to save the State. This
justifies our Legal Tender law.-
Government has no right to change the re
lations of creditor and debtor in such time
of peace as this. Laws compelling re
sumption are the basest injustice, the most
cruel oppression and wholesale robbery.
Let us hear no more of such men’s talk of
public honesty. They are the dishonest
party-stealing, under pretext of law, their
neighbors' goods. This party of the money
men swindled the people when they in
creased the load of the debt by making our
bonds, which had been sold to be paid in
paper, payable in gold. They swindled us
a second time when they broke the pledge
and forbade greenbacks to be redeemable
in 5-20 bonds. They will swin lie us a third
time if they force a man who yesterday
borrowed SIOO to pay to-morrow sll7 to
settle his debt. Measure, if you can, the
impudence of such a party, tie Pecksniffs
of politics, with their hands in their neigh
bors’ pockets, and boring their victims all
the while with everlasting chatter about
public honesty.”
If anybody supposes for one wild
moment that a check in Ohio or any
where else is going to kill such a ques
tion or such a movement as is above
powerfully set forth, he reasons from
false premises. Very far from the
matter being settled, it has not yet
been given full head. We should not
be at all surprised if, the first feeling
of depression having passei away, the
Democracy who believe with Wm. Al
len would rise up ANTJEU3-like, their
strength and fortitude rene wed by con
tact with their mother earth upon which
they have been temporarily prostrated.
We would not give much for a party
that cannot survive a few defeats. If
such a confession must be made by the
Allen Democracy, it is even weaker
than the Mormon faith, which has con
trived, in spite of a Gentile railroad, to
escape collapse. We have faith in the
faith of Bill Allen, in spite of rever
ses, and the people of this country will
not allow it to be killed by telegraphic
dispatches or the power of gold.
The subordination of the finance
question would be best perhaps, if such
a thing were possible. But it has, we
presume, gone too far for suppression,
and if so, let it be met without fear
again and again.
Cotton Manufacture in Augusta —A
New Enterprise-
The advantages possessed by the
South in general, and Augcsta in par
ticular, have been frequently dwelt
upon. We have in this city, for ex
ample, a splendid water-power which
awaits the development of capital to
utilize by building factories. Our cli
mate is mild and highly favorable to
such enterprises and labor is reliable
and comparatively cheap and abundant.
One of the secrets of success in Co
lumbus is that her mills are not con
fined solely to plain, heavy brown
goods. In that city manufacturing
industry has been diversified. We be
lieve that the true policy for another
mill to be started here is to engage in
the making of such fabrics as the
South requires, and not heavy ma
terial which is, to* a large degree,
shipped to the East or West.
A medium-sized factory which shall
turn out colored checks and stripes
would, in our opinion, not- only pros
per in time, but at once, because the
demand is at home. Thousands of bales
of such goods are sold in this market
readily, every season, and come from
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New England
and even North Carolina. Within a
radius of hundreds of miles of Augusta,
there is no mill engaged in she manu
facture of these desirable products, ex
cept a small one at Athens.
The Dublin Mills, which will be very
soon started here, after the subscrip
tion of the few hundreds of shares re
quired, will engage in the fabrication
of such articles as we have alluded to.
Mr. Jas. A. Gray, who inaugurated this
project, has already secured the larger
part of the capital required to set the
spindles in motion and add another
great industry to our city. A superb
site on the canal has been selected,
nearly seven acres in extent, and with
in a stone’s throw of the heart of the
town. The buildings are all up and
ready for machinery. There is room
and to spare for increasing the capaci
ty of the mill, when desired.
It is true that times are hard, but
they will not always be so; and then, in
the worst of commercial depressions,
some persons prosper and have money
to invest. The compensation for mon
etary stringency now is found in the
exceeding and unprecedented cheap
ness of machinery, as well as its won
derful improvements. Experts declare
that a mill can be built and thoroughly
equipped at this time much more
cheaply thau in former times, and at
far less cost perhaps than in the future.
This is a most important considera
tion.
Meu who now have money naturally
wish to put it where it can do most
good. Some prefer to put it in their
business; some desire to place it where
a margin of profit may accrue, on the
principle that a wise man never de
posits all his eggs intone basket.
It is contended that the margin of
profit in the manufacture of colored
goods is one of tko best;now offering.
Plain goods sell from 23 to 28 cents
per manufactured pound. Plaid goods
have never been known, in the hardest
and dullest seasons, to sell for less than
from 40 to 50 cents per pound.
The investment in manufacturing
stocks, when jvidiciously made, has
been remunerative. Before the war,
plantations and negroes were favorite
investments. After the War, bonds,
stocks and real estate were considered
safe and desirable. The shrinkage in
various securities and the onerous tax
on town property have changed all
this, to a considerable extent. Invest
ments in our cotton mills have felt the
pressure, we believe, less than any
thing else. Their enormous dividends
have, of course, been curtailed ; but
more money is now realized, we are as
sured, out of this species of property
than from any other source.
Mr. Gray has on his list of subscri
bers an excellent array the staun
chest of our citizeus aud some from
abroad. The sum needed to begin
operations is so relatively small that it
is hoped little difficulty will be met
with in consummating his plans. In
Augusta and vicinity the balance need
ed should be raised, in small subscrip
tions, if necessary. Indeed, if a few
thousands were thus secured, it seems
to us that the large investors would
agree to increase their stated amounts
a trifle, in order to push the scheme
to a rapid and successful completion.
We would remind the Know Nothing
brethren that the Democratic party
founded free schools long before the
present party “of great moral ideas ”
was born.
The Bank of England—Some Leaves
from its History for the Re
perusal of Orators.
On the 26th of February, 1797, an
order was issued by the privy council
to the Bank'of England restraining it
from further payment of specie. Asa
temporary relief to the bank, notes of
one pound sterling were immediately
issued and all fractional parts of a
pound were refused payment by the
bank, and although assurance was
given that this measure was temporary
it was coutinued from time to time
from 1797 until May 1823.
Two years after this institution was
opened for business, in 1697, its notes
for a short period were 20 per cent,
below par.
Confidence was restored by a prompt
increase of the stock to the extent of
one million pounds sterling, and within
a few months shares advanced from
forty to fifty per cent, below par to par,
and for a short time to a premium.
In 1814 Sir Robert Peel introduced
and passed a bill which was intended
to restrict or limit the circulation,
making the amount issued comform
able to the amount of coin and bullion
owned by the bank. This law, like
many others, in and out of old Eng
land, not only failed in its object, which
was to strengthen the institution, but
caused within three years after its
passage the first suspension of the
bank since 1823. This occurred Octo
ber 23, 1847 ; the second sus
pension occurred November 12, 1857,
and the third and last time in May 11,
1866.
From these facts it is apparent that
the richest and dominating aggregated
force on the globe was frequently
forced, for self-proteotion, to resort
to paper promises to pay, based upon
the faith and confidence of her people
to ultimately redeem these issues,
which in truth were nothing more or
less than an element (a very important
one) in the combined resources of the
British Empire, consolidated and used
for self-preservation.
But for paper promises to pay, the
great Corsican would not have slept in
an island grave for nineteen years, far
away from the scenes of his triumphs
and his beloved France. Nor would
the South have been prostrated and
overwhelmed had not the North main
tained continued confidence in the pa
per credits which were issued in tons
and signed by machinery. Thus, like
other great agencies, there is good and
bad in them. Credit is the basis of
progress and the question of which is
better—credit or no credit —must be al
ways decided by individual taste. The
man who regards a steamboat or a
railroad more convenient and pleasant,
and better adapted to facilitate ad
vancement and wealth, must prove a
credit advocate; per contra, the one
who prefers, for the same purpose, the
old time cart, stage and poll boat, will
prove an advocate of hard money.
Reconstruction.— Taking for granted
that Wendell Phillips and Ben But
ler tell the truth about the white
slaves of the North, the editor of the
Charlotte (N. C,) Observer sarcastically
says: “We are much of Wendell’s
opinion, but shan’t cry about it. The
North grew and prospered on the war.
It was a money making scheme with
them. The rich grew richer and the
poor grew poorer. Perhaps their time
is coming. The manufacturers of New
England need reconstruction badly.
The white slaves of New England are
clamoring for emancipation. We hope
to see a bureau for emancipated white
slaves established in New England. In
that event we shall apply for an agency
in the bureau to settle up a few old
scores.”
A Chicago gentleman by the name of
Taylor has enrolled himself among the
list of distinguished Americans by going
up and down Mont Blanc in eighteen hours,
a task which generally takes up the best
part of two days.—[ Philadelphia Chronicle.
We have read of men who took a
long time to ascend Mont Blanc, but
came down in about ten seconds. They
were seldom heard of afterward,
in a very lively condition.
A GIGANTIC COFFIN.
Guibord’s Remains to be Incased in
Nine Tons of Stone and Cement.
The stone sarcophagus in which Gui
bord’s remains are to be enclosed is be
ing made by one of the most skillful
workers in marble in Canada. Each of
the two blocks of Montreal limestone
from which the coffin is to be made is
seven feet long, four feet wide, and
about two feet thick. In each stone a
cavity is to be cut of sufficient width
and depth to hold the coffin in which
Guibord’s body is now inclosed. The
wooden eofflu having been placed in
one of the cavities, tho two stones will
be accurately fitted to each other and
fastened together with heavy iron bolts
driven through each stone, and rivited
at each end. The whole surface of the
sarcophagus will then be covered with
a layer of Portland cement, mixed with
scrap iron, of a thickness sufficient to
resist the most powerful drills. The
stone coffin will weigh nearly nine tons.
It will probably be completed on Sa
turday next, aud the interment will be
made within two or three bays after
ward.
Death of an Old-Fashoned Virgin
ian.—Virginia has lost another gentle
man of the old school in the person of
Colonel Thomas Jefferson Randolph, of
Edge Hill, in the oounty of Albemarle,
who, after a long and well spent life,
has been gathered to his fatheis. The
Enquirer publishes a brief biographical
sketch of the deceased, from which we
take the following:
Col. Randolph was the oldest son of
Gov. Thomas Mann Randolph and
Martha, the daughter of Thomas Jef
ferson, and was born September 11th,
1792, and was the oldest grandson of
Thomas Jefferson. Col. Randolph passed
many of his early days with his illustri
ous grandfather, and was with him a
portiou of the time of his Presidency.
He was a scholar of remarkable re
search and of the most comprehensive
information as regards politioal history
and tho brighter era of the present
century. His debut in political life was
in 1832 as a representative of Albe
marle county in the Lower House of
the General Assembly. He was a mem
ber of this body pending the resolutions
for abolition, and warmly supported
them; and, upon appearing before his
constituency at the ensuing election,
was again returned, although Albe
marle was one of the largest slave
holding counties in the State.
Some of the epizooty horses have
died in Baltimore.

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that it often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they mav be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De

Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost

For several years I suffered dreadfully with
