qdje CuusfitotioMlist AUGUSTA. GJ-A.i Friday Morning 1 , October 15, 1875. 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. SPECIAL NOTICES. SOCIAL LODGE NO F. and A. M A CALLED COMMUNICATION OF SO CIAL Lodge No. 1, will.be held at Masonic Hall.

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.
