SUNDAY MORNING, AUG. 15,1869
TOO MUCH BAGGING, IRON AND SAND.
The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce
speaks out against the unnecessary quan
tity oi bagging and iron employed in the
preparation'of American cotton for mar
ket, and urges an established tare, allowing
a fair weight of covering for the full pro
tection of the staple. Taking into account
the comparative cost of iron ties and bag
ging, with the prices now realized for
cotton, it is not in the least singular that
producers should find it to their pecuniary
profit to send their cotton to market with
out stint of either in quantity and weight.
There is money in it, and until an
equitable system of tare is adopted
by manufacturers and commercial men,
producers, as a class, will not scruple to
possess themselves of it. Estimating iron
ties at eight or nine cents per pound, and
bagging at fourteen cents, when weighed
with and paid for at the same price
as cotton, there is an inducement to the
producer to purchase the heaviest ties
and the most weighty article of bagging,
and to apply them with a liberal hand in the
preparation of his cotton for market. But
*igos portend that the planter will not long
enjoy this nice little arrangement. At the
meeting of the National Association of
Cotton Manufacturers and Planters,
held in New York, on the 30th of June,
,vc observe that the association passed a
resolution recommending that manufac
turers deduct the weight of tare after the
first of next month. In view' of this,
and the recommendation 5f the Liverpool
Chamber oi Commerce, it is very probable
I hat commercial circles will be induced to
make the desired change, and give to man
ufacturers what really seems to be no more
t!,au common justice —a privilege to dis
count the excessive and unnecessary weight
with which the producer in many instances
envelopes his cotton.
There is yet another evil in connection
with the packing of cottfin, which claimed
th.- attention of the members of the Asso
ciat.on above referred to, and which will at
once meet with the unqualified condemna
tion of all honest and fair-dealing planters.
IV, -.Unde to the crime (for nothing else
cau it be properly termed) of false packing.
Mk. Gaused said that not one bale in fifty
turns out the same inside as outside, and
that out of the thousands of bales he had
handled since 1801 not one per cent, had
been according to standard, while in China
or India cotton one layer does not differ
from another the tenth of a grain.
Col. Wesson, of Mississippi, said there
was too much truth about false • packing.
It is a common practice to wet the cotton,
or to wet a pile of sand and roll in a fleece
of cotton, and put it into the middle of a
bale. At the same time he complained of
frauds in sampling and said he knew a man
who ha<L made 000 bales of cotton in one
scasou by sampling.
Mr. Saunders, of Tennessee, said false
packing was much more common in India
tliHu America, and lie could prove it if lie
had time ; and if you bore a bale well, you
will find that there is wet cotton or sand
iu the middle.
Mr. Wesson said the more directly you
deal with planters, the easier it is to trace
Itaek false packing.
Mr. Johnson, of New York, said his
house had suffered five per cent, on ten
thousand bales of cotton, or $75,000 in the
last eight months, from tiie use of water in
packing, and j'ou cannot prevent it by ex
amination where you buy largely.
A California View of the Chinese Ques
tion*.
The San Francisco Bulletin, in an article
tleprecating the tendency of the whites to
abuse the poor Chinese laborers, neverthe
less takes ground against the immigration
movement. It says:
••It is unquestionably desirable that ■white
labor should he encouraged—that white
men should lie paid the highest wages pos
-ible. We have no hesitation in saying
that it is vastly to the advantage of Cali
fornia and to San Francisco to have white
instead of Chinese emigrants. Our mer
chants and laborers should come from the
Atlantic States and Europe, instead of
Asia.
“Ordinary lalwr, when rendered by white
men, will prove vastly more advantageous
to the inhabitants of this coast than were
the same service rendered by Chinamen, for
the wealth acquired by the former is wealth
belonging to ourselves, while that of the
Chinamen belongs to a race which can
never be naturalized, and must ultimately
he taken abroad. It is folly to encourage
Chinese immigration further than in mod
erate numbers, for they can never become
voters, neither can they assimilate to our
manners and enstems. The Chinese, for a
dozen generations, will remain a distinct
jieople. They will never intermarry, hence
under the most favorable condition of
things, they would become a servile race.
“ California might be filled to overflow
ing with Chinese, but what benefit would
the State derive from them? It is a plain
proposition, at least to us, that business
men should encourage white immigration,
that we should not allow politicians,
neither Democrats or Republicans, to fix
our views on so important a question as
that of Chinese labor. We should not do
this for ourselves. Demagogues may en
courage the mob to maltreat the Chinese,
but wj should sec that every man landed
on our shores is properly treated and pro
tected.
“ A few thousand Chinamen temporarily
here, would perhaps advance the prosperity
of this State, but millions would not. The
State could be overrun so as to make it al4
unfit residence for whites. We ueed not
assure our citizens generally, that there
are few advantages to be ‘derived from
Chinese labor, in comparison with those
from white labor, for all understand the
suhiect. A man may be able to obtain the
services of one cheaper than the other, but
one is a citizen, and forms a constituent
part of the body politic, while the other
does not.
“The great majority of our population
desire to leave Chinese labor to the care of
itself. If we lack population, let us set
about inviting it to our shores through a
legitimate channel. Let us send to the
Atlantic States and to Europe, and we
may obtain all that wc desire, which will
be vastly preferable to importing Chinese
by hundreds of thousands.”

The Crops In Edgefield.
Edgefield District, S. C., Aug. 14.
Dear Constitutionalist: I have just
made a trip through the Western portion
of this district, audovill give you my opiu
ion of the crops, as seen from the public
highway and from information derived
front persons whom I met with.
From your city, about fifteen miles,
there has been an abundance of rain since
the 25th of July, and crops look well, ex
cept upland corn, mnch of which was cut
short by the hot, dry weather of Jnly.
Much of the cotton that lias obtained to
good size, on account of the extremes of
the season, is not well fruited. From the
point mentioned rain is much needed at this
time. Cotton is quite small; in places
very poor stands, and some fields have been
replanted with corn, which will mate
rially curtail the cotton. I was told by
a gentlemen with whom I met that
his land had not been too wet to work
since his crop was planted.
From what I could see and learn, I don t
think more than two thirds of what was
planted for will be realized. B.
1 From the Charleßten News.
A Thief, Forger and Murderer In Con
gress.
It is a notorious fact that the Radical Re
publicans of South Carolina are led by men
of doubtful character, whose integrity in
nearly every case is in the inverse ratio of
their smartness and party skill. As there
are but a handful of decent Republicans in
the State, this was to be expected, and the
bickering of rival demagogues would pos
sess no public interest only that, when
rogues fall out, damning .acts come to
light which would otherwise be covered
forever by the broad black mantle of Radi
cal party charity. In this way public at
tention has been directed to the wordy
duel between United States Senator Sawyer
and Congressman Bowen on one side, and
the Mackey family on the other. The
Mackeys denounced Sawyer and Bowen as
traitors. Sawyer and Bowen denounced
the Mackeys as wholly unworthy of trust.
Very little'was said by either party of the
personal antecedents of their foes, and it
was matter for surprise that Sawyer, Bowen
and the Mackeys should have foregone so
brave an opportunity of using with effect
the deadly spear of truth.
Expediency and a desire to save the party
from the scorn and contempt of even the
luckless colored people, who are its stay
and strength, caused the disputants lor a
time to hold their hands. But, apparently,
even Radical endurance has its limits, and
Alderman T. J. Mackey, in his reply to
Congressman Bowen, throws modesty to
the dogs, and proposes “to show from the
record that C. C. Bowen Is not a credible
witness upon a question of fact.” The let
ter is, in truth, an arraignment of Con
gressmen Bowen upon charges as serious
as have ever been brought a public officer
in this or any other county. Congressman
Bowen is branded' by Alderman Mackey,
the president of the Union League of this
city, as a thief, forger and murderer, and
we print these charges that the Republi
cans of the North may read aud judge for
themselves. Asa member of the United
States House of Representatives, Congress
man Bowen has a voice in making laws,
lor Illinois, and Ohio, aud Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania, as well as for the States
of the South. It is proper that the whole
country should know the character of the
men who control the destinies of the na
tion, and it is proper that every honest
citizen, whether Republican or Democrat,
should know who and what are the men
who, while “ representing” the South, hold
the balance of power between the East and
West.
The charges brought against Congress
man Bowen by Alderman Mackey are as
follows:
1. That C. C. Bowen stole a valuable set
of faro checks from a gambler in this city,
which checks were sold by Bowen in New
York, where they were identified and ulti
mately recovered by the owner.
2. That C. C-. Bowen was imprisoned in
Castle Pinckney, in 1867, by Governor
Scott, then Assistant Commissioner of the
Freedmen’s Bureau, on the charge of mis
appropriating the funds of the Union
League.
3. That C. C. Bowen, then Captain of the
21st Battalion Georgia Cavalry, was tried
by court martial, found gniity, and cash
iered for forging pay rolls, the result being
announced in general orders from General
Beauregard’s headquarters.
4. That C. C. Bowen was arrested upon
the charge of having planned the murder
of Colonel White, at Georgetown, S. C., in
November, 1864, that he escaped punish
ment by the flight of his accomplice, and
was released from jail when the Federal
troops took possession of Charleston in
1865.
Some of these charges against C. C. Bow
en have already been published; others are
altogether new. What we now desire is to
show the people the character of one of the
leaders of the South Carolina Radical Re
publicans ; one of the trusted chieftains of
the party ; one of the men sent by negro
Radical votes to represent South Carolina
in the Congress of the United States.
Important Decision. —The Savannah
Republican gives the following decision of
Judge W. Schley, in the case of D. R. Dil
lon vs. Mcßae and Wilcox :
“ The facts in this case arc simply these:
Mcßea & Wilcox were the partners in the
commission business. Mcßae left the city
for a short time, and in his absence Wilcox
made two notes at 30 days, in favor of
another firm in the city, to which he sign
ed the name of Mcßae & Wilcox, and upon
which he forged the signature of said firm.
Dillon discounted these notes at five per
Cent. Wilcox left the city and Dillon
brought suit in the City Court, the object
of which was to recover the amount of
said notes from Mcßae.
“ The jury found for Dillon, and the ob
ject of the proceeding in the Superior Court
was to set aside the judgment in the City
Court and remand the case for anew trial.
“ Tliis is a case of considerable import
ance to the commercial community of
Georgia, because it is well known that
commission merchants everywhere in
Georgia are in the habit of getting accom
modation notes discounted at the banks at
the rate of about 10 per cent, per annum,
which is usurious interest. If, then, the
decision of Judge Schley is to prevail, uo
bauker can collect the amount of a note
thus discounted from the firm unless all
the members of the firm are present and
consenting to the transaction, or unless
they afterwards ratify the contract.”
When was the Slave Set Free? —At
the time the emancipation proclamation
was issued, our forces were in possession of
Plymouth, North Carolina. The slaves
from the neighboring country came in,
anxious to place themselves under the pro
tection of the United States troops. Soon,
however, the rebels regained possession of
Plymouth, and those of the negroes who
did not leave tyith the Federal soldiers
went back to their old masters. Avery
strange question now arises. The citizens
of that county want to know when the,
negroes of North Carolina were made free.
If, they argue, they were free from the
time the proclamation was issued, then
they want the Government to pay them
for keeping the freednien, or force them to
work out their board; if they were not
freed till the surrender of Lee, then a sale
in the interim is valid, and the amount
may be collected ; but no claim for services
rendered by the negro can be enforced.—
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce states that
it is learned the matter has been referred
to the Superior Court of North Carolina,
and the court dodges the issue, Judge E.
W. Jones, of that court, being now at the
National Capital, to have a talk about it.
[Baltimore Sun.
The Tennessee Senatorsiiip. —A Nash
ville dispatch to the Louisville Courier-
Journal says:
“ A straight-out Conservative will cer
tainly be sent to the United States Senate,
and the impression now obtains that Emer
son Etheridge is the coming man. Andy
Johnson will fight desperately to seenre the
place, but the opposition against him will
be formidable. Etheridge will certainly be
elected Speaketsof the Senate.
“Judging from the inklings already
drawn out, the Fifteenth Amendment is
not likely to pass the Legislature.”
Daring Robbery on the New York Cen
tral Railroad.
EXPRESS MESSENGER AND BAGGAGE AGENT
GAGGED AND BOUND.
■ - N
Albany, N. Y.. August 10.—The Pacific
express car on the Central Railroad was
robbed, early this morning, between Fonda
ami Albany. Three men entered t.ie ear,
seized the messenger and baggage agent,
gagged and bound them, took the key of
the safe from the messenger and robbed it
of its contents..
Albany, August 11.—Particulars of the
express robbery on the Central Railroad
last night, obtained at the American Ex
press office here, show the robbers got in
the train at Fonda. They eutered the
second baggage car and at once attacked
the baggage man and messenger, telling
them there were eight of them in the- party
and resistance was useless. They made a
stout resistance, however, as is evidenced
by their condition on the arrival of the
train here. Their faces were bruised, heads
cuts, aud eyes filled with pepper. They
were almost suffocated by the gags tha.t had
been forced into their mouths, and were
also stupefied with chloroform. A large
club that had been used by the robbers was
fountain the car. When the train reached
Schenectady the baggage for delivery there
was thrown out in such a manner as to
cause remonstrance, but no attention was
paid to it and the ooor was slammed and
shut, aud the train passed on. It was un
doubtedly one of the robbers who threwthe
baggage out.
It was at first thought the robbers got
off the train at West Albany, but ongoing
out there this morning an agent of the com
pany found the way bills scattered all along
the road between there and this city.
When the train reached here the baggage
car was entered anil the messenger and
baggage man found on the floor in the con
dition described above. Two baggage cars
were attached to the train, one of which
was switched off here, and the other sent
through. On the floor of the car sent
through were found gold coins and other
money which the robbers left behind. The
safe was found open, but it is impossible at
preseut to give an approximate estimate of
the loss. All that can be said is that it is
very heavy. Owing to the loss of some of
the way bills, and the others being sent
through to New York, no estimate of the
amount stolen can be made. Just before
the train reached Schenectady, two of the
robbers eutered the first baggage car and
attacked the baggage man and messenger.
Dalton Items. —The Citizen reports con
siderable sickness around Dalton.
The question of building an Episcopal
church iu Dalton is being agitated.
The building of a Catholic church in that
city has been com-menced. It is to be a
handsome brick structure.
Last week, a white man and negro were
engaged, together, raking hay, a few miles
north of the city; the negro provoked the
former to anger, and received for his impu
dence and belligerent manners a stroke on
the head with a rake, Avhich killed him.—
The white man escaped.
The corn crop will probably fall short,
owing to the early drought; but the
recent rams will bring out rain consider
ably. In many localities corn looks
flourishing, while in others it is nearly a
failure. It will, we think, make a tolerable
average. Potatoes are doing well enough,
and will, with good rains, be plentiful.—
We hear numerous complaints of potato
bugs devastating the vines; but our ex
perience is that they do not materially in
jure the yield, unless they entirely destroy
the tops. The weather is cool, air chilly,
making heavy bed clothing comfortable at
night. No rain this week.
Millions at Stake—The United
States vs. The Chattanooga and Nash
ville Railroad Company. —ln our report,
says the Nashville Banner, of the proceed
ings yesterday at the meeting of the stock
holders of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad,is given in full and formal de
mand made by the United States Govern
ment. for the delivery, to an agent appointed
for that purpose, oi* the Nashville and
Chattanooga Road, its rolling stock, depots,
shops, etc., to satisfy claims held by the
Government against that road. As the
matter is likely to terminate in litigation
of mammoth proportions, we give below
a brief history of the facts of the case:
“The Federal Government owes to the
road $.3,766,957, for its use during the war,
when they held it by military possession
The road owes the Government $1,466,551.
for engines, cars, etc., purchased since the
war. The Government ignores the claims
of the roads, and attempts to enforce its
own."
Accident and Crime.—A Chicago dis
patch, of the 11th, states that about ten
days since a young lad, son of Wm. Van
dusen, a broker of that city, fell through a
skylight at the Sherman House and was
instantly killed. Mr. Y. was supposed to
be in New York at the time. A dispatch
was sent to him there, bnt no reply has
been, received. It now turns out that Mr.
Ynndusen, when he left for New York, took
flo,ooo belonging to the firm. He was
seen at the St. Nicholas on the night of his
arrival in New York, and at Jersey City
the next day, since whioh nothing has been
heard from him. ‘ The house of Mr. V. here
is a branch of the house of Swan-A Panson,
Wall street. It is now supposed Vandusen
has gone to Europe. lie left a wife in this
city in feeble health, greatly intensified by
the sad loss of her boy, and entirely desti
tute of means.
“ Up in a Balloon' Boys.”— ln Mem
phis, on the afternoon of the 9th, while two
gentlemen and two ladies were making an
ascension in a balloon, a sudden gust of
wind drove the balloon against the belfry
on the Adams street engine house. Ofte of
the nien jumped out upon the roof of the
building. The balloon being relieved of
the weight, shot up some hundred and fifty
feet above the building, when the man
pulled the lacing string, splitting the bal
loon wide open; but it was filled by a
breeze and sunk gradually until near the
top of the engine house, when it suddenly
collapsed and fell, but fortunately caught
upon a chimney, breaking the fall, and the
crowd rushed under the car and prevented
its striking, and all escaped.
South Carolina Soldiers at John
son’s Island. —A Confederate soldier who
passed through Sumter a few days ago, in
formed the editor of the Watchman that
when he left Johnson’s Island, in Decem
ber last, there were eighty-six Confederate
soldiers at that place, who had not been
home or heard from their’friends since the
war. Five of these were from South Caro
lina, and he gave their names as follows:
Major Mobley, of Fairfield, about thirty
two years of age, fair complexion, five feet
eight inches or six feet high; Lieutenant
Simmons, 01 Fairfield; Captain Zeigler
and Lieutenant Easterling, of Orangeburg,
and Lieutenant R. W. Boyd, of York. He
begged that these names' should lie pub
lished, that tlieir friends might learn of
their whereabouts and that they were
alive.
Triplets to a Youthful Mother. —A
correspondent of the Savanuah Republican,
writing from Scriven county, gives the fol
lowing :
A good lady acquaintance of mine Mrs.-
8., of this county, gave birth a few days
ago to three fine, healthy boys, which up to
this time, are doing finely, and give every
promise of being raised, and possibly''
growing into great men. The fact
that the good lady is only some fifteen
summers old, and beiug the first time she
has given birth, and that her mother gave
birth at a like tender age, may be coutflder
ed remarkable, and to the scientific men in
teresting. A waggish friend suggests that
with this unusual arrival in Scriven, there
is certainly something ahead, probably
squalls.
The expenses of the Spanish Government
in Cuba are now about two millions and a
quarter of dollars a month, and their reve
nue is not far from nothing. No wonder
they confiscate estates, and want to sell
their claims to the island.
Rust in Cotton. —Rev. S. H. J. Sistrunk,
of Marshailville, was In our office yester
day, and reports that all the cotton In that
region is more or less affected by rust. He
thinks the crop will be cut off at least one
third, and perhaps one-half in some cases.

r 17lIE ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has beeu furnished by citizeus of Vir
ginia and Georgia. N
It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now aunually sent North for
LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of tv hick takes so muck from Southern vitality. Henceforth
let ns keep our investments at. home, and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This
BRANCH OFFICE oflers all inducements for Lite Insurance of a perfect, Home Office, with
these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operations has been
incurred, the success, beyond peradventure, is established, and the whole Capital and Assets of
the Home Company stand committed to sustain it.
The entire management of the Piedmont is iu the hands of Southern men, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money and the inter
ests of their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who. you know, do not love you, and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FORBID THE
INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
THE PIEDMONT is not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all funds accruing in Georgia, within the State, under the direction of Georgia gentlemen, in
whose integrity yon must have entire confidence.
THE PIEDMONT gives per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could
ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma
nent. institution ol their own, and we cannot doubt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any
other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, aud only requests parties wishing to in
sure not to do so until they hive examined the merits ol this established Southern Company.
Call on our Agents for information. Active, reliable and energetic Agents wanted.
