We were not surprised at the result in Ohio, ... .. and . shall . not 1* sur prised to see New York follow the same course. All this plainly points to the election of the Radical candidate for President in 1880, from whom—be he whom he may—if we are to construe the coarse, to Iks pursued towards the South indicated bv Northern Radical journals, we cannot Iioi»e to escajm any oppression which • a vindicative vindicative hatred DJbio- Imtrcd can put ujMui us.

Tho Star says : An important question—in no way related to polities—is just now under discussion at the South. Tho answer which shall he made to it concerns the North almost as much as it concerns those with whom it rests to give that answer. The question is; Shall the South have its own cotton factories ? Ait experiment to test the possible advantages of sptning cotton in the locality where it is raised has already been made. A mill is now in full operation at Westminister, South Caro¬ lina, and thus far the results produced appear to have outstripped the expecta¬ tions of those who started the enter¬ prise. The capacity of this factory is said to lie between three and four hundred pounds of seed cotton per day, and the yarn manufactured finds ready sale in New York at an average of lV>} cents, Accenting to the Atlanta Constitution, the cotton is taken from the gin and bnisli on a card and comes out in a roll, and dealers assert that the threads made by this process rate a great deal higher than threads made from compressed " ^ true, and we take j( Now England manufacturers, iiettev ami furnishing the market with a article at a cheaper rate than the latter "“W supply. , ™e only obstacle is the lack of capi for the construction and equipment of the mills, but if the facts support.the accounts given of tbe work done at Westminister factory tiiere will In' no trouble in obtaining the necessary funds. " The carbonate fields of Colorado and the mines of Caliafomia and Arizona present no attractions to the prudent capitalist iHunpitrable with those which the manufacture of cotton at the South with such results as we have referred to offers.
