ATJaiTSTA. C3-A.; Tuesday Morning, November 23,1875. Tho Dumb Speak—An Unnatural Sou. A few days ago, wo republished from the Chicago Tribune a witty article animadverting upon the curious silence of the St. Louis press anent the crooked whiskey developments. But the dumb have spoken at last, and their recent tonguelessness was but tho calm before the storm. Wo now learn that Mr. William Hyde, of the Republican , is accused by StilsoA Hutchins of a remote connection with crooked whiskey. Mr. Hyde has de nounced Stilson Hutchins as “an arrant demagogue in politics, a proved black mailer, a known perjurer, and a noto rious scoundrel.” Mr. Grosvenob, ex editor of the old j Democrat, proclaims McKee, of the Globe-Democrat, as a blue mailer, and McKee’s paper re sponds by denouncing Gbosvenob as “a dull monotony of baseness which it would puzzle hell to produce or om nipotence to duplicate.” While tho editorial brethren aro thus belaboring one another, revelations are being made against Col. Joyce, the late revonue agent, who principally caused all tho troubles of tho now infamous ring. It seems that this man, while rolling in tho good thiugs of the world, however fraudulently obtained, allowed his poor mother in Chicago to lead a death in life for many years. When Joyce was informed of his mother’s melancholy destitution he briefly and brutally replied that he had believed for twenty years that his mother was 1 in her grave. If she was dead and with the angels, he was g!nd of it; if sho was alive, he never wished to see her. This exposure of the monster has taken from him whatever of sym pathy may have dwelt in the hearts of the more charitable of his adherents, and the fate that has overtaken him, howevtfr inadequate to his crimes, is regarded as a great retribution of the supernatural powers. A reporter of the Tribune recently sought out this unhappy woman and found her living in the greatest squal or, life itself being supported by public alms. The visitor to this abode of misery discovered the poor old woman sobbing and swaying to and fro, over a little stove, and uttering discon nected ejaculations which evidently re ferred to the misfortunes of her grace less son. We quote from the report as follows: Like Rachel, she refuse*! to be comforted. It appeared, anally, that she had only just heard from some newspaper investigator that her son had been convicted and sent to the penitentiary. For some weeks past she has been bolstering up her courage with the fond expectation that “ Johnny” would relent and come to her assistance; but now her hopes had been dashed to the ground by the intelligence. After much oersuasion she recounted her sad history, t was twenty years ago that she lived in Wheeling, Va., with her hus band and her two sons. Her husband, who was employed as a steamboat hand, wont off one day with another woman. Her son John followed him to Cincinnati, and she has never seen him since. After a few months she came to Chicago, accompanied by her other son, and opened a small no tion and confectionary store on the North Side, by which she supported herself until the time of the lire. Since then she has kent alive by doing washing. The old woman’s naratlve was consider ably interrupted by sobs and lengthy di gressions. She was quite overcome, not only at tho ili-fortuno which had befallen her son, but at the prospect of continued suffering on her own part, now that her hope of securing aid from him had been destroyed. It is not pr* J table that she will burden this world much longer, her bodily inlirmltiea being so groat and her mind so affoetod. Doubtless she will bo in her grave long before John A. Joyce steps forth from tho Missouri State penitentiary. After such a recital, the only regret will be that the notorious aud uufilial Joyce has a bare three years iu prison. Ho is apparently callous to all finer im pressions and all the tortures of re morse. But if anything could make his dungeon a terrestial hell, the memory of his deserted mother should accomplish that object. If it be true that men, hitherto honorable, have fal len through tho agencies of this fiend iu human shape, not the least poignant of their sufferings will bo caused by tho reflection that their moral wreck is bad enough of itself, but unutterably inten sified by coming from the hands of this Yahoo, Joyce. Poe. —A class-mate of Poe’s at West Point writes that while visiting a friend in Baltimore in tho Fall of 1832 he was asked by a casual acquaintance if lie knew the poot, who had informed tho gentleman alluded to that he was acquainted with him. On responding in the affirmative he was told that Poe was then working in a brick-yard in Baltimore, being engaged in wheeling clay in a wheel-barrow. Friedlander.— -Mr. Friedlasder, the great wheat king of California, and one of the ablest men iu the State, is liv ing with his family! at the new Pacific Hotel in San Francisco, with a suite of twelve rooms and fit a cost of §30,000. Ho is about seven feet high and largo in proportion. Some years ago, ho was a dry goods clerk In Charleston, and specially valuable on account of tho ease with which he lifted calicoes aud sheetings from top shelves. A Conundrum. —The New York Day Book submits this conundrum: “If two-thirds of the surplus wealth or realized capital of the country came originally from Southern production, and that production was ‘abolished’ by the Republican party, and it has ex pended annually one hundred millions for ten years past to prevent its resto ration, how long will it take the party to restore a specie standard ?” The Vicksburg Herald says: “We have long since forgiven the North for licking us, but the North has never forgiven us for being so infernally hard to lick.” Shameful. —A Chicago auctioneer, who should have been President of the Freedman’s Bank, put up, the other day, a stuffed goose, called it an eagle, and sold It to a colored man for sixty cents. -- Hawley. —Some Centennial wire workers are about to recommend Gen. Joe Hawley as the Republican candi date for the Presidency. Wehopethey Will succeed in their endeavor. He would be a nice man to vanquish. ■ Question and Answer—The Curse of Protection. The New York Bulletin publishes statistics which show that cotton is now a trifle lower, reckoned in gold, than it was in 1860; that wool is also cheaper; and that the wages of the great majority of factory hands are— to say tho least—no higher now than they were then, estimating their money in gold. The pertinent query then comes up, why aro Northern manu facturers forced to close their mills, discharge their hands, and assign their shrunken assets for tho benefit of their creditors ? The Chicago Tribune, which, however wrong we may deem it politically, is entirely correct upon the subject of free trade, proposes to an swer the problem of the Now York journal, and finds the solution easy in that foolish thing miscalled “protection.” It says; “Our manu factures are confined to the home mar ket. They cannot turn out of their tariff-taxed buildings and transport on tariff-taxed railways, and then ship abroad goods that can bo sold in com petition with those produced either in tho country to which these are shipped or in other countries in which no tariff swells tho cost of manufactured wares. If tho .tariff wero rearranged and cut down to a reasonable rate, our merch ants could export their cotton fabrics to India, to China, to South America, and to Europe, as thoy did in 1860, before tho Morrill tariff handicapped tho industries it was intended to pro mote. They could supply the world with edged tools, as they once did, un derselling English manufactures in the English market. They could build steamships that would monopolize the immensely lucrative carrying traffic of tho Chinese rivers, as they did fifteen years ago, but do no more. They could contest with Eugland the supremacy of tho seas, did not our modern embargo, the protective tariff, paralyze ship building, close all tho ship-yards, save those where lobbyiug contractors make rotten iron coffins in the shape of ships, and drive our flag almost from the ocean. Our manufacturing inter ests are tariff-cursed. The only way to permanently revive them is to throw open to them the markets of the world, both to buy and sell in, and cease to restrict them within the comparatively narrow limits of one country by a ring of Custom Houses. We have no doubt of the truth of this statement and hope that the next House of Representatives will do all in its power to bring about free trade, which will not only demolish rings of domestic corruptionists, but make life easier for tlio masses, revive com merce, and cause the American name and American goods to be respected at home and abroad.” The Cotton Crop and the Future. The Macon Telegraph of Sunday last had an admirable article on the cotton mania, founded upon the report that if tho staple in tho fields could bo gath ered the crop in this section would be the greatest since the war. The Tele graph has been inclined to look for a crop in the neighborhood of four million two hundred thousand bales, but grimly adds that three or four hun dred thousand bales in excess would take prices entirely beyond the influ ence of producers, and the whole cot ton-growing business would rush down hill to ruin without baekstrap or breoch ing. After gazing with something akin to horror on this tendency of our planters to glut tho production of cotton, and witnessing, as wo all do, the decline in prices, our Macon contemporary says : “Cotton has sunk rapidly every suc cessive year since the war, until wo see it now from fifty-two cents a pound in 18GG to twelvo cents in 1875. Avery few months more of that headlong speed in decline will bring it to a point when its culture will eoaso to comfor tably support the labor which pro duces it, and the latter must sink to a condition of disorder and disorganiza tion, or to mere squalor and serfdom. “It would. be folly and cruelty to hold up this impending doom before the great Southern cotton interest, if there wero no remedy for this over production. But there is a remedy— an easy remedy, which an intelligent people, seeing and appreciating the deadly peril ahead, could be induced to apply. It is in tho power of the State Grangers to abate the cotton product a third, and so enforce reason able compensation for their labor. This remedy is a direct and legitimate ono —resorted to by all handicrafts when the markets becomes overstocked with goods, and prices fall below the cost of production. “It is also in tho power of tho intel ligent husbandry of the South to make sack a diversion of their labor as still to employ it all profitably and increase their own productive wealth, instead of sinking down into a destructive and degrading poverty wkieh shall deprive them of the comforts and elegancies of life. We can apply a largor portion of our agricultural labor to tho cereals and grasses and to the production of animal food and laboring stock. We can produce fruit crops, rice, sugar, to bacco, Sisal hemp and all other fibres for the immense quantity of bagging we annually consume; and wo can, if we would, add at least twenty-five per cent, to our annual revenues on tho lieeee of sheep and of the variety of valuable goats. “The vast range of our productive capacities admits of not the first rea sonable excuse for tho over product of any singlo crop. The course wo are pursuing is gratuitous self-murder. It is not alone that it is ruining us pecu niarily; but that with pecuniary ruin, In this case, comes the loss of social dignity—the sinking down gradually into the condition of more peasantry, whose scanty earnings do not permit of generous food, or tho means of mental, social and religious culture. “If ever a case called for a corps of Peter the Hermits, to rouse up the people to a sense of their danger and tho great yawning gulf of ruin bofore them, wo think this is one. Why do tiie Grangers fail to appreciate the crisis?” We have quoted the above remarks conspicuously because of their truth and solidity, and because they coincide with ideas which have been repeatedly urged, with less force perhaps, in these columns. Let every planter heed them and, if possible, determine to turn over anew leaf in the management of his estate. With low prices for cotton, money at murderous rates of interest, corn and bacon high, and matters growing worse and worse for- tho coun try man who does not feed himself, it would seem tho highest wisdom to get out of the old rut of over-production of cotton and get into a now groove of diversified industry.

Tho crooked-whiskey trials ought to have made it pretty warm in St. Louis. THE UPPER AND NETHER MILL STONE. Hard T ; mes Here, but Harder at the North. | Macon Telegraph.] Rochefoucauld, or some other cynical Frenchman, has declared that every man takes comfort in the misfortunes oven of his friends. This for the honor of human nature wo capitally doubt. But if there bo any semblance of truth in the remark, it may bo traced simply to the fact that sorrow is the common lot of man, and the comparison tends to make the afflicted bear tlieir troubles better when they perceive that others, it matters not if they be kins men, suffer more. In other words, misery loves company. If this execra ble philosophy, however, is accepted, then woof the South, poor and hard up as we are, may take abundant conso lation from the superior misfortunes of our Northern brethren. To show the terrible condition of the manufacturing interest, a well known gentleman and fellow-citizen just ar rived from New England, stated yes terday that he saw large sales of tho best Arnold prints made by dealers in North Adams, Mass., on the sth inst., at two anti a half cents per yard. This was not, at auction but a regular business transaction. The moral is that paper must be met when it falls due, to preserve mercantile credit. Another opulent iron master, who runs seven furnaces in Massachusetts and one in New York, has not sold a pound of metal iu three years. He has acres of it stacked up, wailing for bet ter prices, and in the meantime borrows money to carry on operations. The reason of this is the excessive cost of production, at points so remote from the coal fields. Providence and other New England cities are now actually purchasing their iron from Alabama at S2B per ton, delivered on board the cars, which is less than it can be made for in Now England. Tho doleful condition of things may bo further illustrated by an Incident relating to the woolen trade. A Mr. Blackston, who died several years since in Massac!)usetts, worth an im mense fortune, left a provision in his will that liis mills should be worked on full time for two years without stop page. If tho attempt to do this bo persisted in, it is estimated that his legatees will have nothing left to di vide, so ruinous is the loss of operating. We hear, too, of further reductions in laborers’ wages, continued failures in every city, and wide-spread suffer ing throughout the North. Tho writer saw much that was discouraging last summer at Fall River and elsewhere, but the troubles then wero but trivial compared with the present. This is tho upas fruit which emanci pation has at length produced for our New England philanthropists. Tho South, stripped of hor slaves by violence and compelled to enter the manufacturing arena for subsistence, is now beating those who formerly sho enriched, at their own employment, and ere long, not only iron and domes tics, but shoes, wooden ware, and everything elso wo need will bo made at borne, and far more cheaply. And our Northern friends have only them selves to thank for it. With such a country and climate as ours, wo have only to will to bo independent, and go to work in the right direction, and the result is certain to bo achieved. OPERA HOUSE, GIRARDEY’S OPERA HOUSE.
