SPresident Graint's Change or d Views. dA change in Gen. Grant's views in regard to the Southern position is re ported to have taken place lately. When his positive rejection of the statements made by the representatives of the Taxpayers' Convention is re kmeimbered, it seems scarely possible that the chauge in sentiment now men tioned can be credited. Yet with the Sig~hts so forcibly broughut to bear upon hinm, anid the constantly repeating de v'elopmaents of the corruption and fraud of our government. it would Sseem stranger indeed if the prejudices Swhich have warped his judgment should nor be made to vield, to the free of well established facts and rea son. It is reported that lie is much disgusted with thne condition of afflairs, a ~nd thinks that every Republican is responsible for the existingt villianies. and that Moses should have been con] victed, and that there must be a true Sreform in this State next fall, or that the Republican party will repudiate the so-called Republicans of South rolia li aboaf'nmed,it is said. that thne Federal troops are net here to enforce the collection of exorb)itat taxes, but for arresting illicit distillers, le I these are Gen. Grant's senti menits, and he adds the aid of his inl tunce we mayv hope for a reform. The Piedmont Mills-4reen ville'. - An aticle in the 1Eeterprise and M Iouef aineer of the 1st. elves sinme interest in details in regard to this manufacturing enterprise, andl as-thiis is a subject which should engross the attention of the pIeole of this State, we madke a few extracts froin it. GreenviiL is eminently fitted for man Iufacturing purposes, and the Piedmont Compauy, ia which we are pleased Newberry is well represented, could not have made at better selection for the scene of its imlportanit opiertions. In whatever point e-mnidered. whether as egrds water fa-ilities, healthful Uess of climate, charming seecuery, adaptaition of soil to cereals of all kinds no t even excepting cotton itself.1 nea~rness to -school<s. colleges anid ach'urches. railroad facilitie&. etc., it .could not well have been bettered, and we see no0 reason whyv a large success will not result front it. The time fixed for the cotmletio.n of all the itnneuse work necessary in this uu dertaking is December 1st, 1874, anid judging by the reputation of the con tractors, among whom we are pleased to notice the name of P. P. Toale, of Charleston, himself a stockholder, there is no doubt that it will be accomplished at the time specified. -Ini the construction of the dam, already partially built, nature has done much in making it one of the mos su~.bstantial of its kind. The cana.l now beinig excavated through 2%0 feet of solid roek, will be 20 feet wide and 10 deep. The tarbine wheel I t fl horse power will take 10,004) feet of water per minute. the river being capable of -furnisihing 5).000 feet. The ioundation of the main building covers 254 by 52 feet. three stories front, four rear, ttiwer 75 feet hih and l; sq.uare. 1;t fioor-(weavil." room) 208 loomis. 2,//oor--(carding r~omn f1i' eards, S drawing fran:es, t .ubbers, 8 fly framnes. 34 r/oor-(sinning ri m ) 42 spin Ding fraies. 4 spoulers. 4 wirpers. 4 dressers.

The above figures are reliable, and are suffieicutly gratifying to show that the enterprise in all its appointments is planned by master minds and with the purpose to make it a paying busi ness to its liberal minded stockholders. The Enter-prise aud I[ounztaimer complimeuts its President, Mr. Ham met, as being one of the best factory men of the South, and we think the compliment highly deserved. Among other facts related of his acumen is the temporary stoppage of the work during the late pauie, by which it is estimated a clear saving, of S10.000 alone was realized to the Company. Success to the Piedmont Cotton Fue tory, and may the example so ener getically sct forth in this be the means of spurring our people to like efforts wherever faiciIi ties are afforded for manufaciturin:g.'

The Baltimo're Ga:ette of July 3d is largely taken up with a description of this city, its past, present and fut ure, its extensive and improved busi ess facilities, its railroads, manufae tories, foundries, elevators. wvharves, warehouses, etc. The growth and imn provement of this city is indeed won derul and suggestive of what can be done by enterprise and liberality. Baimore is indeed "entitled to claim her rightful rank as one of the chief eities~ of this contineut-surrounded by all the coinforts which are necessary to make this a most pleasant anbiding~ place, by all the arts whiTh make a city attractive, and by all the means o intellectual cultivation which oughit to make it, and we trust does make it a virtuous couunity. "No town in the dominin of 'the old thirteen' has grown with steadier growth to that ripe power and useful nss whieb convert well-ordered cities into fortresses of national stremnt. No town within that circle has bound itself in so short a space by 5 somy ties that we miay-laim to call pre-emni nently national. its position is in the very heart of the cotfederacy. Its population is drawn from the North, the South, the East an.i the West. It has always been intimately conneicted with agriculture, as a principal mart of the two great staples of flour and tobaco. it has always beenm in some degree a manufacturing towii. And in equal distribution with these, it was at an early period the seat of an active commerce. It would be hard to say which of these three interests have prepoderated in promnotinig the growth of thme city. Certainly we iuay aflirim neither has held such predonmi naice as to show itself above the others either in the directibu of our affairs or in the character of the community. It thus stands somewhat conspicuously as the representative of the leading interests of the country at largre. This character is still further shown in the same equal divisioin of reliiious de nominations, presenting an equilibrium of opinion in thamt particular which may be reckoned as a type of our whole country. 'in the last few years Baltimore has ta:ken a high place among the cities of the Union. The harbor pene trates the heart of the city, from which the ground rises slowly for dis taces varying from one hundred to one thousand yards, then rapidly into sucessive heights, forming an aumphi theatre with views from each tier: in reasing in beauty as it ascends. until the city, the harbor, the river, the bay, the surrounding country, spread ing out their varying features, present ascene of beauty, seldom surpassed by the seats of commerce in the Old or New World.". The completion of its channel im rovement, by which the city has now a. ihat th e a of the averae depth of twenty-four feet at mean lo tide is one of the crowning points in its tide of success. and which has only been reached by years of patient labor and the use of large capital. All honor to the city of Baltimore. may her caryi trade in imiports :id ex ports be equal to that of New Ytrk. State Treasurer's Report.
