Lost Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec.
A brief suuitna-ry of some of the c
rences in Louisiana, during the past
weeks, may interest readers who hav
time to read lengthy details.
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
At the State election on Monday,
vember 4, there were polled, in Louis
about one hundred and thirty thoi
votes, of which the Greeley fusion, or
Radical ticket, nceived a majority ol' i
ten thousand. There were elated u
Greeley electors ; the entire fusion
ticket, headed hy XleKnerv, the 1
candidato ut Iargti for Congress : ihre
of the five district fusion candidate
Congivss, besides a large fusion or co
vative majority ia both branches a
State Legislature. In the City of
Oriana the \?ht>U ?nti-?hidiw? ticket
vailed by majorities averaging about tv
thousand votes in a total of tliirt
thousand, giving Deniocratic-i'uaioi
Liberal mayor, city adoiiuUtrators,
oners, sheriffs, judges of eight dis
courts, justices and constables. . \\
three or more candidates were in nor

elected by a two-thirds voie where

TOE PLOT BEGUN.
In the fare of this notorious rc
Senator Kellogg, the Administration
didate for Governor, assuming that a
number cf negroes had been preve
from registration aud suffrage, and
tendimf to ?'.ar that the regular retui
officers of the State would not do ju
to him in their returns, brought sui
prayer m equity bet?re the United S
Circuit Court. Judge Dnrell presii
againsi; W "armata and others to pre
them tVoin making the count and rei
but to empower others to act as a ret
ing board. The election throughout
State had been the most pacific and 01
ly tba'; had ever been held, while in
city not an altercation, fight, or arre*
curred. No complaints had been
viousiy made of fraud or favoritisii
registering voters. No properly regii
ed vote was excluded, and general ?
feeling prevailed at the polls. The
. was much the largest ever cast m
State, being the first election since
war in which the white voters have
an ?ven and fair chance, and the first n
aged by hands not bitterly hostile to
conservatives.
THE PLOT PROGEEiSES.
Kellogg's prayer was heard, the inji
tions granted, able counsel employed
both parties to the suit, many affidavii
real or pretended negro voters submit
many long speeches made and much ?
ietv fe! ", which grew N in intensity day
day. Thc defence was managed with g
a 'i.ky, and the argument employeu
.bot i parties was marked by much lei
ing, ingenuity and eloquence. Few
first believed that the court could t
jurisdiction, even \indor the laie act
Congress respecting elections, where mi
ben of Congress or Presidential eleci
are to lie chosen ; but thoso who knew
temper ot* the court and the spirit wt
controls the people who are represen
by the administration, knew that I
Radical judge would mould his decis
and rulings to suit those who hate
white people of the South. Their i
dictions, were realized, and their lt
were soon changed into a hideous real
KELLOGG TRIUMPHANT.
In effect the prolonged argument
able counsel was little more than a fa
The judge had evidently resolved bef
the trial began to grant the prayer
Kellogg. He read abrief paper,prepai
by the aand of another, purporting to
reasons for his decision, and conclue
with a decree and order, which was nol
mg more nor less than the whole of K
logg's voluminous petition. He not or
decided that the Herron board was t
true and rightful returning board, but
accepted as parts of his decision all t
allegations of the petitioner, and all t
carefully enumerated and cunningly i
vented inferences that could be drawn
advance. He virtually put into the han
?of HftTi'ktna, Lnrnvh, ?ongo+?-?ct aurt lit
ron the power to return as elected al
one whom they might prefer, forbiddil
all interference, and installing in offi
those officer* and legislators whom tin
might name.
A IiRVNELN JEFFRIES.
Intelligent medical men affirm their b
lief that Darell was not mentally tit
sit upon the bench any one day durir
this long suit, and that, when his judi
ment was read, he was visiblv under tr
influence of drink. But, while notoriou
ly a drunkard, while well known to hav
been repeatedly intoxicated during tl
trial, ana while for many hours just b<
fore rendering his judgment aleoholioill
insensible, vet I cannot believe that, wile
with shaking hand he blotted his sigr
manual upon the infamous decree, he wu
ignorant of its contents or unaware of il
sweeping provisions. The case was ir
vented ana the final order was framed ur
der Darell's supervision, and, a!;hong
but a third-rate lawyer, he knew en.mg
during brief sober intervals to be awai
of all thc force and effect of the miserabl
document.
THE PLOT CONSUMMATED.
Thus empowered, the Herron board a
once published whit they called thc r?
turns of thc State election of Novembc
4. The true retorna and ballot were thoi
and have ever since been, in the lawfi
custody of Governor Warmoth, but th
false returns have been carefully prepare
and tabulated for the emergency. Th
true returns, according to actual ballot!
had been compiled, tabulated and publish
ed in accordance with an act of the
eral Assembly passed in February, 187(
This was done as to the newly elected ser
ators and representatives on the 4th De
cember, in view of the meeting of th
Legislature called on the 9th December i;
special session by the proclamation c
Governor Warmoth. The true ret-un
gave an anti-Radical majority of Dior
than thirty in the House and" six in. th
Senate ; the Herron board returned i
Radical majority of about forty in tb
House and sixteen in the Senate. Mar
shal Packard occupied the State-housi
with United States troops, and on Mon
day morning the Herron board's member
and senators megand organized, the clerk
being forbidden by injunction to ca.li ain
other names than those received fron*
that board through the secretary of State
This was ihe first result of the judicia
infamy. In spite of an anti-Radical ma
jority notoriously exceeding ten thousani
"ballots, this gigantic scoundrelism remand:
the people ol Louisiana to a Radical dy
nasty ot the worst character, consisting
chiefly of defeated candidates. Governoi
Warmoth refused to recognize the bodj
and remained away from his office at the
Statehouse r.ith?-r than pass to it between
files of United States soldiers standing
with fixed bayoneta. After
A BLASPHEMOUS PRETEN'rn OF PRAYER,
which was litt Je else than a stump speech,
the House jrreiVrred impeachment against
Governor warmoth in not haste. ' There
upon PiiiCbback, who was elected presi
dent of the ?euate after ihe death ol
Lieutenant-Governor Dunn, attaining now
to be Lieutenant Governor, brbkc.iiijo the
executive office and acted as Governor,
and was so recognized by both spurious
- houses.
THE WURTA 0VERTU?>'ED.
Uext in order, though not ?ccond in
rascality, wa? the hasty passage ol a bill
by which the Seventh and Eighth District
Courts of this city were abolished anil
another new court erected to have the
combined jurisdiction and functions of
both, and designated the "Superior Court
of New Orleans." The judges of all the
couria, including the two so abolished,
elected in November, had been but recent
ly installed. Even the Herron returns
make the majority of Judge Collons, of
. thefleventh Court, 5796, and that of Judge
iUlmore of the Eighth Court, 8551. Both
these .judges were able, learned and pop
:tdar;.hat the Radical usurpers wanted a
. court o?their own and a judge of the
.Darell ?chas.. They wanted a court with
.-authority to gra#t injunctions and pro
-hibitions against . on,eivaiive officials

no incumbent of ornee, however el?
or appointed, can consider himself

of events.

a brief synopsis:
The committee invites the cotton State.1
to meet by delegations in convention at
Angosta, Ga., on the 2d of February next.
It refers to the common interest cf the
West and South, and asks the. delegation.
also from Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville
and Memphis, etc., to note the importance
of great through linea by rail and watet
for the West, especially the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal; also the necessity
of some combined, organized and sustain
ed effort to make known abroad the ad
vantages which the South offers in thc
interest of the whole country in the in
creased prosperity of the South, as wed
as in enabling the Western farmer to work
his land profitably. Millions of people in
the Scuta and West pay tribute to the

prosperity by counselling together in the
true spirit of American fellowship, dele
gations are earnestly invited from the
Southern States and from the West.

from his hors? at night, and his throat cut,
near the residence of. tile Shelbys, his
body carried on boraeoj^ . .'.rec miles and
thrown into a cave. A targe rock was

the arrest of the criminals. A frontiers
man saw the rock had been recently placed
there ; it was removed, and thc blood dis
cover- ti. On a doser search a wad from a

THE ADVERTISER.
->->_i_
Edgefield, S. C., Jan. 9, 1873.;
To the Senators and Re presen tat i ves of
Edgefield an d Alleen.
Last week we spoke incidentally of
Mr. Bowley's hill before the. Legislature
to exempt Manufacturing Establish
ments, in South Carolina, from taxation
for the next ten years. The Legislature
re assembles to-day, Tuesday 7th, and
we now earnestly urge our immediate
Senator and Representatives, ..and those
of our sister County, Aiken, to uphold
this Bill strongly, and do all in their
power towards making it a law. And
for the information of these Legislators
we would state one or two important
facts bearingon the question. The Gran
iteville Manufacturing Company have:
notggii hand a surplus of Four.or.Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars (all made at
Granltoville) with which they design, or
wish, to build ? new Factory. They had
rather locate this Factory at Graniteville
than elsewhere. But of course they will
go where Cotton 'Factories are most en
couraged And in Georgia not only are
such establishments exempted from tax
ation for ten years,- but the city of Au
gusta, with eminent liberality and en
terprise, actually offers a premium (3
per cent ) upon all money invested on
hor Canal. Therefore, if Mr. Bowler's
Bill should not become a Law, it is but
fair to suppose that the new establish
ment pf the Graniteville Company will
be located in Augur" .. And if the Rep
resentatives of Edgefield and Aiken leave
anything undone to. secure so great a
Factory within their own borders,, they
must certainly be considered hereafter
very feeble custodian* nfthe wei faro and
interests of their constituents. Our pub
lic men-and our merchants and capital
ists-must be more imbned with the
spirit of the age, and must realize the
fact that manufactories, are the lifo,and
soul of all inland towns. The changed
condition of the labor of the country
admonishes every thinking man that
there must be a corresponding change.in
the application of the industry of the'
oountry.
But let us take a broader view of this
important matter of encouraging manu
factories. The South to be independent
and prosperous, must give employment
to the immense amount of surplus labor
she has on her hands ; and this, cannot
be done without manu factories. It would
seem that, ai present, only about one
third of the labor of the South can be
called available. And this for want of
proper employment. As matters now
stand, we are dependent upon the pro
duction of cotton alone for the support
of the entire population. Arid what num
ber or what proportion of our popula
tion is engaged in it? Not one- third.
Not enough to support the balance-who
must bo fed and clad, and are compelled
to be idle for want of proper employ
ment.
j The gross receipts for tho cotton crop
may be set down at an average of $275,
000,000. And if the immense amount of
surplus labor in tho S>i:>h. .which is un
able to enter into th'- production of cot
ton, but is admintMy adopted to its man
ufacture, was aif Ydcd tho means of its
manipulation in ?imper factories/we ask,
would not this labor so employed, add
$275,000,000 moro to tho coffers of the
South. Is n.>! this tho only salvation
for the South ?. Can she not yet, by the
introduction of cotton factories alone,
become the wost independent people
upon tho face of thu earth,
It would appear nom tho present situ
ation that the people of tho South are
simply nothing more than serfs for the
New England States They must make
these. States cott! m to manufacture at a
profit of about two hundred per cent;
fjnri (in \t ?>-? Cu-Ai_.i- m. . ii
furnishing tuc means of support to New
England. How long ls thisstato of things
to continue ?
I,et thc South ?jiyo employment to her
surplus labor, and make the profit on
the manipulation of thc staple herself.
Let the laws gi vo us imwaiiaurement in
Coutil Carolina; and with our resourecs
it would require comparatively little capr
ital to put in operation handsome cotton
factor?as in every part of. the State-in
Edgefield, in Aiken, along tho Bidgo
country, pronounced by travelers to be
the garden lead of the South.
It is all nonsense .about such enter
prises not paying. Look at New Eng
land, Virginia, North Carolina and;Geor
gia. We remember a statement going
the rounds a short time back, showing
that the factories iii these States had de
clared ? diyidend at from 18 to 23 cents.
And look ut the fact of the Graniteville
Company having a surplus of $400,(HW or
S?O?.WH), ready for investment,
Thc fact is, we lose all the profit on our
cotton by letting other pcoplo manufac
ture it; and wo hope tho people at large
will be convinced of it at no distant day.
Further of the JLonlsiana Imbroglio.
On Monday, the Gth inst., tho people
of Louisiana were to make an attempt
to inaugurate the lawfully elected State
officers-Gov. McEuery and other*. And
for this purpose the lawful Legislature
was to assemble, though previously over
ridden and kept down by Grant's bayo
nets. The people being determined to
assert their rights, and thc. usurping fac
tion being defiant and still backed by
Federal troops, it has boen feared that,
the day would see armed collision and
terrible bloodshed. But thc latest dis
patches from Washington and Now Or
leans seem to indicate that President
Grant has alistad a, tithe of Iiis tyranni
cal and insulting obstinacy, and tele
graphed Geni. Emory, in command of
the Federal troops in New Orleans, not
to permit interference with Uic meeting
of thc lawful Legislature. The present
indications arc that ?th?. whole matter
will be referred tb Congress. But let
the Louisiana contest end .as it may,
Genl. Grant, by Ids action iii the premisos,
has imperiously insulted and trodden
down tho rights ol' local self-govern
ment.
Opening With .sweeping Success.
Before tho war no institution of learn
ing in South Carolina was more popular
than tho Methodist Female College of
Columbia. Driven by tho vicissitudes
of war to Spartan burg, it luis there boen.,

And now it comes back to Columbia,
and the ?UttdjriColfeg.e Building shakos

For the Advertiser. .. r ,
Mn. ?JDITOR: Permit me through^the
eolumns of your, paper to make known
the result of an experiment I made'this
yearj, 'in jplanflhg cotton, of different
widths between the stalks in tad drill,
the rows four feet wide. I took six rows
seventy yards long to experiment upon;
two of the rows' T loft the stalks one ih'a
pince, one'foot apart,-yield 74 lbs ; two
rows, two feet apart,-yield 70i lbs. -, and
two rows, tho stalks three feet apart,
yield 744 lbs -from which it will be seen
that, in land capable of producing oigliv
teen hundred pounds of seed cotton per.
acre, the j'ield is near tue same,Avhether
left one foot or three foet apart. The
yield upon the six rows was at the rate
of eighteen hundred and ninety pounds
in seed per acre.
The patch, of which this was a part,
contained two and one half aor?s ; being I
formerly au orchard, there w?ro fifty,
fruit trees remaining on the ground,.
The yield of tho wholo -was 1473 lbs. of
lint cotton, including the bagging in
which it waa packed, (three bales) hythe
Augusta weights. Tho greater pnrt of
tho patch, "three years proviou.^, was con
sidered too' poor to pay for cultivation;
one half had been fertilized the two pre
vious years, and brought nitoa tolerable
state of cultivation; producing last year
OOO pounds in the seed of Peeler Cotton?
