Should the South Manufacture her
An able writer in the XIX Onltiry
Magatiue, writing about "the possible
future of the South," sees in her future
a day .of grand prosperity, sod cites as
tue great"cause of that prosperity the
working up and .. anufucture of the raw
material at the South.
Ho brings the question to figures thus:
?In 18G0 Mississippi raised 1,200,000
bales of cotton (400 pounds each) worth
iu round numbers $80,000,000. In the
same year Massachusetts imported and
manufactured 316,065 bales, rcaliziug
836,500,000. Now the number of bales
imported and manufactured by Massa
chusetts, is to the number produced by
Mississippi as 4 5?t to 15 about. There
fore had the former State wrought up
all the staple produced by the latter she
would have realised $144,900,000. De
ducting thu cost of the raw material, we
have lull a gross profit of $105,900,000.
1Jtit this cotton was manufactured
somewhere, if not iu Massachusetts; aud
paid to those who did so nearlj three
times what it did to the producers."
The writer goes ou in beautiful lan
guage to attribute the greater wealth aud
prosperity of the Northern States to the
fact, that they reap all the golden re
wards of their iudustry aud realize threo
times as much profit from our pruduce
as we do ourselves.
He says : "la not this the reason why,
while the two Carolinas, which were the
original third and sevuuth States of the
Union, have fallen Into the twclth ami
eighteenth positions, Ohio, Illinois, In
dians, aud Mis ouri, (all of comparative
ly reccut creation) have fo ged ahead
with ginnt strides, until they stand ut
the very front of the States-association.
No deeply laden argosies bear from them
the raw products of their soils for other
peoples to enrich themselves upon They
have not been content to pla) ttje part of
the henrriuthro -body national,*- sttigmt?
ting itself, whilst driving health and
grace ; symuictiy and power into the
other members. We have fertile soils,
and happy skies as well as they ; and
the)' gather no richer treasures lro:n the
full bosom of the earth, than burst forth
for is; but with i lie in the .sounds of
busy manufacturing industry are heard
fashioniug their virgin products to the
utmost development, whilst with us. ull
is silent; and as the birds of the air
pass over the green swards to settle on
the rouv.li, browu seed Heids, so the mi
gratory uution8 puss us by.
Iu conclusion he says; "Let the
South raise her owu cotton, work up her
own cotton, ship her owu beautiful fab
rics, aud then shall she reap thu Costly
tribute of it* Value; and in^a thousand
ways, unthought of now her tens of mil
lions will swell to billions ; her ships will
plow every sea ; her cities will sit upon
every one of her glorious plains ; along
the green slopes of every valley will steal
the sweet chimes of a St. Pauls, the low
murmer of a hundred Cambridges will
arise; peace and joy will rest upon every
hill-top, and cover the Lin| as a dome;
and the deep pulsations of her noble
heart will quicken all mankind!"
"('an Uostou doun export business
crius one of the pupers of that city. Wo
should think ho. She hue doue a very
heavy export business for many years,
aud the grcut moral ideas she baa ex

and misery.
Doings In Columbia.
Tho almost universal topic of con
versation here hos been,too great speech
of S. W. Mclt?M, Esq.. before the caucus
of members of the Legislature, Thursday
eveuing, and tbe election which took
place Friday, and resulted in placing
Mr. Melton upou the bench. Thospeech
is acknowledged by every one who heard
it to have been one of the ablest and
must remarkable in sentiment yet de
livered upun the subject of reooustruc
tiou by a South Carolinian. The caucus
was held in the Hull of the House o'i
Representatives, and was largely attended
by members of tho Legislature and the
friends of tho respective candidates who
were expected to address the assemblage.
De Large presided as Chairman. The
first speaker was Mr. Thompson II. Cook
'of Oiangcburg. who sought to impress
upon the members the fact that he was a
Republican, and that he believed in this,
as well as in every other office to he filled
by the party now in powor, it was im
portant to them as a party that they
should elect a Republican. Eveu if they
did no. elect him, he hoped they would
elect a Republicnu.
Mr. Win, E. Kurl?*, of Greenville, next
rose to speak, but ufter simply alluding
to his record in counuctioti with recon
struct tiro, gave way to Mr. Mcltoa.
Mr. Melton, commenced his speech hy
stating that he occupied the same position
then, that he did three weeks previously
wheu his mime was first announced as a
candidate. He wanted it to be under
stood that he Was not a member of the
Republican party, oof r-as he a member
of the Democratic party. He never had,
nor would he on this occasion, simply for
tips purpose ol getting office, say or do
anything that he di^ uot honestly and
candidly believe, gin alludiug to polities
Mr. Melton Hiid he had always been op
posed to the e.vtrcnie/Oalhouu party and
doctrines, th.it tho first he knew of
politics wna when iL ?* was but a youth
and was then called a "soap tail," utter
wards ho was known as a Uuiuo man
.in. I cooperation ist. He was a Unionist
to the last, but wheu the Slate decided
to secede -.ml the war commenced, no
one went into the war, fought, more
earnestly for the State and Confederacy,
and came out of the fIlit later and with
more relu ta .ce than he did Hut when he
was conquered he yielded and admitted
the right ni tho conqueror to dictate
terms. He accepted the Reconstruction
Av.ts and measures as the policy which
tho conqueror had a right to make. No
sensible man, he thought, would pretend
for a moment that the Constitution of
the United States was ever recognised
in the settlement of the great questions
that had divided the country. Wheu the
armies met upou the banks of the
Potomac, that instrument was torn into
shreds and scattered to the lour winds ol
Heaven. The result of the war was
freedom to the colored man, civil and
political equality before the law, which
meant, no matter what color, tint every
man had the same rights as a citizen to
vote and to hold office. That result he
regarded as one of the inevitable results
of the war?emancipation, and the terms
of reconstruction, which the conqueror
had a right to dictate. New issues and
new questions might arise in the future,
but at present Democracy meant '"give
me tbe loaves and the fishes," and Re
publicanism meant "you shsu't have
them."
I extremely regret that your reporter,
believing it to be but an ordinary caucus
meeting, did uot go prepared to take the
speeches in full. The views expressed
by Mr. Melton were, that tbe war having
decided the great questions for which
the opposing par'ies met upon the field
of battle, it was a duty every limn owed
to the country to rsllv to its support, and
assist in placing its flag upon a pinnacle
so high that it will ever remain and
command thu admiration of all the
nutiotis of the earth.
The speaker was greeted throughout
with enthusiastic uppluuso. In reply to
a question made by Mr. Neagle, how he
voted iu the Presidential campaign? Mr.
Melton said he voted for Seymour and
I {lair, but bet on Grunt and Col lux.
TUE SCENE IS THE HOUSE.
The scene in the House, on the meet
ing of both branches in joint, assembly
to enter into tho election, defies descrip
tion. Previous to the meeting it was
kuowu that thu lobbyists had been hard
at work for a candidate, whom they
proposed to spring npon the General
Assembly and eleet by their oauttt well
known mode of influence. At the con
elusion of the first ballot, nod before the
result v,;;", ;??:;:; uui!t:cd\ the c.;;;tcst!;ct'.vcf::
the friends of Mr. Melton and the lobby
candidx - o commenced. The voto stood
?Melton 59, Murray 47, scattering 20;
necessary to a choice 64. President Cor
bin's efforts to announce the result were
nil baffled by dilatory motions to dissolve
the joint assembly aud by members rising
to points of order. Members indignantly
rose and made charges of bribery. In
response to a motion made by a member,
the President ordered that the floor be
cleared of all but members. Excitement
was up to the highest pitch, members
commenced to change their votes from
Cook to Murray, and others to Melton.
The clerks who were counting the votes
were closely pressed by those who stood
by friends of both Bides, intently watch
ing the result of the change of votes as
made, and an unsuccessful motion was
made to have the President's stand
eleared of all but the presiding officers
and the clerks of the two House.4.
Tomlinson begged tho President to
keep bis sent and make no announcement
until order was restored. The President
rapped to order aud kept the gavel iu
motion for at least fifteen or tweuty
minutes, (some counted as high ns eighty
raps,) all of which time Elliott continued
cnlliug out "Mr. President," ' Mr. Presi
dent," "Mr. President.'1 At last tho

officers and clerk* of both branches, and

The Woman Question.
The women of Utah take a very dif
ferent view of tbe woman question from
that which is entertained by the strong
minded of New England. While the
latter are holdiug mceitings and con
ventions devoted to the object of setting
forth the tyranny of the other sex, tte
females of Utah seem solicitous to pre
vent tho spread of such heretical notions
among themselves. The purpose of a
recent female convention in Utah ap
pears to have been to avow in the most
emphatic manner the entire subjection
of woman to men, und to protest against
any relaxation of the discipline under
which fcmules ure controlled. The re
marks of all the speakers at this singu
lar Womau's Convention were to the
same point. Harriet Cook Young wan
ted " the world to know that the women
of Utah prefer virtue to vice, and the
home of an houorable wife to the gilded
pageantry of fashionable temples of sin."
Mrs. King declared that the women
would not " turn traitors to their hus
bands, their brothers aud their sons."
Mrs rhoobe Woodruff, who has been a
Mormon for thirty-six years, said they
were "scaled to their husbauds for time
and eternity, aud would not submit to
such an outrage upou their religion as
was proposed iu Collum's bill. Mrs. Pratt
was "willing to let her blood be shed"
for her husband. Mrs. Snow, whose
gruudfuther was a revolutionary soldier,
considered that the women of Utah hare
"greater aud higher privileges than any
other females on the face of the earth. "
Such was the tenor of the addresses,
showing that, if Congress sets ont to
please all tho sex iu its legislation upon
the woman question, it will find it a more
puzzling busiuess than any yet under
taken.
I rarest Britain the woman question
has been actively canvassed of lute.
Large and enthusiastic meetings have
recently beeu held in the leading cities
of England and Scotland, to promote the
conferring of suffrage upon female house
holders or owners of property. At a
meeting held in Edinburgh, ,our mom
bers of tho House of Commons, among
them a brother of John Bright, warmly
contended for female household suffrage.
Last year by virtue of an enactment
made during the administration of Mr.
Disraeli, the greatest Parliamentary re
former of the age?seeing that ho did
what others had merely talked of doing
women householders and property-owners
were allowed to vote at the election of
municipal representatives. In Liver'
pool, 5,000 women voted, and yet a lar
ger number iu Manchester. Married
women arc uot eutitled to vote, their
individuality being suuk in that of their
husbands. So eulirely is this the case
that it may be doubted whether, even iu
a solitary case, a married womau in En
gland places her maiden name before
that of her husband.? Wilmingtou Star.

Romance or Rkal Life.?John. M.
Wood, of North Adams, Mass., who
was reported to have been gar rot ed aha1
fobbed, bad the good1 fortune to win the
affections of i voting lady in New York,
who dying left him her property, and
this waa supplemented upon tbe death
of the girl's mother by all of her fin- .
tune. Altogether Wood received about
$50,000 in money end nti elegant resi
dence iff the metropolis. The story of h';a
courtship is somewhat romantic. He
waj oa bts way to New York on board
of one of the Troy ateamers, when he met
the young lady. They fell into conver
sation, and it was soon evident to even
Wo'd's sLuple understanding that the5
lady was desperately in love with him.
Whether she forced the courting, or
whether he first "told his love" we are
unable to say; but it was not long he'
tore Wood was the happy possessor' of
the information that the young lady had
loved him because of his resemblance to
a young man to Whom she had been cn
l aged, and who Was torn from her by
the rude hand of death. She loved him
not so much for himself as for another,
and dying she testified her devotion bj
leaving him all her property.? Troy

A Prediction.?The LottistiUe Cou
rier Journal contains a noticeable arti.
cle on the political situations, in which
occurs the following paragraph
'Every one of the Southern States
reconstructed under the fifteenth amend,
ment will fall into the hands of the demo
cratic party, and the Republicans can
not risk a division in the North. Off
suffrage they can bold together?not on
any other proposition concerning the
negro. Suffrage being settled 1c ives ? he
ultras nothing to do but to agitate for
social equality, which eannot be made to
work as a political instrument. Besides,
tbe disappearance of the negro question
as a live arid progressive eh ment in our
polities will dear the field for new divis
[ ions' anal combinations upon* financial
topics, from which the Democrats have
everything to hope. So that the jubilation
in radical circles over the fifteenth
amendment* is pore effervescence and
amounts to nothing at all. A very few
mouths of universal suffrage will develop
the truth of this most thoroughly.''
Fhase*, Tre-n?oZ,* & Co.?The tel.
lowing dispatch from Washington m
published in the Northern papers :
Three years ago the Government
made an agreement with Eraser, Thren
holm k Co. in eeVtlevnent tor the effects
they had on hand as agents of the late
Confederate States, and which were
claimed by the United States as publie
property. This agreement, if consumatcd
by the' agents, would have placed in the
Treasury half a jfril?oo dollars in gold.
An agent of these parties is now in this
city to induce the Government to com
promise the matter by taking their pro
missory notes for $80,000 in currency,
and dismissing all legal proceedings a
gaiust thorn, both here and in England.?
