Wo do not affect to disregard the
opinions of those jot oar cotemporaries
in journalism wha tnay not happen to
agree with as. Wo respect their opi?
nions, aud when we recognize both
Ability and sincerity in their utterances,
we feel bound to invest these utterances
with becoming respect. It is in this
spirit that-we have to offer some com?
ment upon an article in the Winnsboro
News. That journal, in its issae of
Thursday last, says in an article headed,
"A Time to have One's own Opinion:"
"We very maqb fear that, beyond the
Humorous times that Solomon enume?
rates, the time to have one's own opinion
in South Carolina has now come. With
no great leading principles universally
acknowledged, nud with all parties and
mon very mach at sea, diversity of senti?
ment is not only natural, but necessary
to the progress.of truth. Men will
differ, and must, be tolerated, if not ac?
tually encouraged to speak out for the
publie good. We believe that the State,
os of old, can hold bat one political
party; that that party mast be Republi?
can, and, moreover, conservative'"
Now, we agree with the News in this,
to wit: That tbs time has come for men
to have in South Carolina their own
opinion. We go farther. We hope
that suoh time will never pass away. We
make no issae on this poiut. We honor
iudependence of thought sad independ?
ence of action. We regard it the chief
element of a manly character. But we
do take issue with our cotemporary apon
another point, as will be seen as we go
on. In order, apparently, to offer some
reason or excase for its own political
skepticism, vagaries and variations, the
News claims that at present in South
Carolina all parties and men are very
much at sea. Now that this remark
may bo applicable to some men and some
journals, we do not deny; but we do
deny that it properly applies to all. Such
is not the caso. There aro men and there
are journals that have very decided
views, aud these views aro entitled tc
special consideration in the absence ol
other well-defined ones.
In a national point-looking at parties
as divided on national issues-we Lave
most decided views. But upon tint
occasion let this pass and let us com<
nearer home. Is there any difficulty
here? Need men and journals feel a
sea? Is it not obvious that the ship o
State is iu bad hands? Can auy Caro
Jiman consider tho personnel of the Go
vern ment and tho Legislature, and no
admit this? Can any honest man con
sider the corruption o? the last Legisla
ture, and not admit this? Can uny un
prejudiced man cousider how privat
fortunes aro made ut the public cxpensi
und not admit this?
Can any wise mun look upon our bis
tory for the last two years, and not se
that there aro needed a higher tone, i
more comprehensive policy, and a wise
-statesmanship? And can any practica
man donbt the oourse that is left to us
Are not good citizens bouud-all o
? hem-to unite together and seek the re
forms we need, and the changes we re
quire? Why need the News be ut sea
A proposition has receutly been mad
for all men in favor of honest good go
vernment to baud together sud seek th
relief of tho State. And yet our cotem
porary hesitates to uuite ia this move
ment. Let it do this, and it need n
longer be at sea. But our cotemporar
will say that it is entitled to its opio iou
Well, it is; but it is bound also to giv
a reueon for the faith that is in it.
One point more. The New? say i
"We believe that the State, as of old
can hold but one political party; tim
tho party must be Republican, andmon
over, conservative." We cannot see wh
South Carolina, like every other State i
the Union, caunot have two parties; bu
lot this pass. Our cotemporary goes ,o
to say that tho party must be conserva
tive Republican. If the News uses th
term "republican" in its original sen?(
as referring to a "commonwealth i
which the exercise of the sovereign powc
is lodged in representatives elected b
the people," wo have nothiug to saj
But if it means that tho party for ?Bout
Carolina must be tho party now dom
nant in the State, with tho promise uni
that it bo conservativo, then, withoi
arguing the question, wo have only I
say that it is incumbent upon tho Nev
to show very conclusively how tho gem
ino interests of the State are to bo tin
subserved. It will find it hard to t
this, just as tho physician would find
hard to persuade his suffering putioi
that consumption was an admirable thir
for his constitution.
We have now only to add, tbut sim
our cotemporary refers to Solomon, x
shall offer some passages as suggests
for the News, in its present role ot doab
ing much and of proposing little tbut
well-defined ?nd attainable. There ie,
says Solomon, "a time to cast away
atones, aid a time to gather stones to
gether'^'a time to rend, and a time to
sew"-"a time to broak clown, and a tibe
to build up." '

Southern Mannfactiuci-The Present
rroiprct of their Competing With tli?se
??l?cwhcrc.
According to the able report of Col.
John B. Palmer, of South Carolina,
which was ordered to be printed with
the proceedings of the last Commercial
Convention, recently held in Louisville,
Ky., the Southern manufacturers can
now make yarn cheaper than those
North by 60. npon eaeh pound of manu?
factured cotton. Yarns eau be manufac?
tured and delivered in Europe at 4%o.
oheaper than the cotton can be exported
and manufactured in Liverpool or else?
where. Theao statements are supported
by figures and minute statistics as to the
price of wood, labor, cotton, and by ac?
tual showing of books in different facto?
ries. An ordinary crop of cotton is
worth to the Sooth $225,000,000. Were
this cotton crop, however, manufactured
into yarn, it would give the South $153,
000,000 more of revenue. As the matter
now stand>, the South has only 199,772
spindles, where the North has 5,848,477.
Were the whole crop manufactured here,
it would pay to the laborers, chiefly wo?
men and children, $36,000,000. It would
pay this sum to the class that are ordi?
narily non-producers. Spinning is com?
paratively simple, and but little Northern
capital is invested in this primary opera?
tion. It is in the complicated labor ol
weaving, dyeing, etc, that the hen vj
demand for capital begins. Were these
operations performed, as they will be
some day, the amount of wages paid and
laborers employed would be immensely
increased. Col. Palmer's suggestion it
that tho property-holders and planters o:
the South band together and occupy t lu
field with their own factories and spin
dies. Once these are established, hi:
proposition is to ship direct for Europe
and drive other yams from tho market
The cost of a spinnipg-mill, giving em
ployment to eighty-seven operatives, an<
consuming 887 bales, ought to be $50,000
The estimated not profits of such a fae
tory, at Northern prices, would b
$17,748. The foregoing statistics ar
endorsed by F. Cogin, Superintenden
of the Augusta Factory, and that tho,
deserve consideration, there can be n
doubt. The conclusion they lead to if
that yarn samples should be sent innnc
diately to ascertain, by positive experi
mont, and in authoritative form, whs
the precise margin of difference in price
is. If, after consultation with the mt
nufacturera, dealers and others, residin
in Europe, these statistics are v?rifi?e
aa they doubtless will be, an impetu
will bo given to manufactures whic
they could derive from no other some

Correspondence of tho Phoenix.
WASHINGTON, D. C., M uro h 24, 1870.
Congress seomp, at last, alive to Ula
interest* of ?the people of the District.
Tn tho Ho owe, three hoare ono doy in
eadu montb$ has been set apart for oon
sideralioa- of its business. This short
space of time appears very little, bat
thea they have an opportunity of becom?
ing intimately acquainted with District
affairs; not ouly from tho papers, where
they aro daily discussed, but also from
constant contact with the citizens, who
never lose au opportunity of making
their wuuts kuown.
A number of important bills have
passed the House, among which is ono
to abolish the usury luws, und tu allow
an interest of ten per cent, in all cases
where contract is innde to that effect.
This law will relieve tho people here
very much from tho exorbitant de?
mands of those who have mouey to loan,
and who are willing to take nil tho libke
under the present law to procure large
interest. It is very common to pay
eighteen to tweuty per ceut. hero ou the
very best security, and this, too, on large
amounts and ou long time. Those per?
sons who are consciencious upon thu
subject, prefer to place their funds iu
bonds rather than loan at six per oent.,
but would rather loan ou good paper at
ten per cent, than take bonds. But theu
all of these bills are of miuor importance
to the one giving a territorial form of
government to the people. They can
then make their own laws; incorporate
their own companies, and transact all
other business whioh may be for their
interest. The territorial bill hos been
reported to the House, nud will be
brought np on the next District day; it
is not doubted at all that it will pass.
The Committee of both Houses have
been interviewed, as well ns a large ma?
jority of the members and Senators, and
so fur there seems to be no opposition.
Boweu, the Mayor, and his "bread and
butter brigade," are about Congress all
the while, trying to create opposition,
but so far from accomplishing their ob?
ject, they aro disgusting all hands by
their degradiug selfishness.
Col. Forney, the prince of American
toadies, is now toadying to the negro
delegation from Georgia, and is endea?
voring to upset the Bingham amend?
ment.
Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, one of the ablest
gentlemen in the House, has delivered
ouo of tho most cloar-hcuded, able
speeches upon tho tariff question, which
was ever delivered in Congress. Thc
following extract is eminently worthy ol
qtiotutiou :
Wno AHE "AMERICAN INDHSTBX?*
The greedy protectionists object to re?
duction because it would not afford
sufficient protection to American indus?
try. This cry is old, stale, delusive aud
often insincere. Who are tho peoplo,
tho hosts, the toilers, to whoso pursuiti
they give the cabalistic and pretentious
uumo of "American industry?" Om
population is about -10,000,DUO souls
According to the most reliable ciossifica
tion, forty-one per cent., or aboui
16,400,000 of these are engaged in anc
supported by agriculture; about thirteei
per cent., or 5,200,000, are eugaged ir
and supported by pursuits that ore classi
fled as professional and domestic; abou
nine per cent., or 3,600,000, aro engag?e
in and supported by general com merci
and trade, the couveyance of men
goods and mesanges; about thirteen pe:
cont., or 5,200,000, are classified ns iude
liuite and uou-productive in their pur
suits; about twenty-four cent., o
0,600,000, are classified ns industrial, o
engaged in and supported by art QUI
mechanical productions, in working ant
dealing in textile fabrics and in dress
in food and driuk, in animal nud vege
table substances, and in minerals. Near
ly all the classes directly or peculiarly
benefltted by protection a?-e to bo fount
under this general designation of indus
trial. But of them ?uly those classe
are so beuefitted that are engaged in th
production of iron, steel, copper, coal
salt, textile fabrics, of wool, cotton, flax
and lumber and leather, and a few mor
pursuits of comparatively trifling impor
tance. AU the classes so benefltted d'
not exceed seven per cent, of tho who!
population, or about 2,800,000 men
women aud children, equal to abou
700,000 actual producers out of 40,000,00
producers and consumers. This answer
my question. These represent "Ameri
can industry," and for them tariffs ar
made. To promote their welfare an
magnify their gains, the other 37,200,00
of the people are taxed, compelled t
pay forced prices; to pay nnjust, crue
tribute. The cool assumption, arre
gance and self-importance of "America
industry," thus unveiled, touches th
sublime. Why do they assume to bo th
sole representatives of industry that i
worthy to enlist the favorable considere
tion of the Government? What law i
nature, or intrinsic excellence in thei
productions, has elevated thom so big
ubove their fellow-creatures? Ask th
millions whom I havo classified, if thei
respective pursuits do not require indiu
try us severe, patient, pains-tnking as an
others, and with as precarious result
aud stinted profits. Yet they do not fi
our lobbies with their hired agents an
emissaries. They do not subsidize th
press, suborn Representatives, or b?rde
our desks with their memorials an
essays.

the appointmont of cadets; and also re?
commends the dismissal of Gen. Sobaeff,
an examiner nt tho Patent OQice, und
that a court of inquiry bo ordered for
tho trial of Commander Upshur, for en?
gaging in tho sale of cadetshipB. It is
understood that the Committoo favor, if
they do not recommend, the dismissal
from tho Military und Naval Academies,
of all those whoso appointments havo
been secured by bribery, or who woro
not residents of tho districts to which
their appointments wore charged. Also,
in favor of the House passing a resolu?
tion directing District Attorneys nt once
to arraign all persons who lmvo bribed,
or even offered to bribe, members of Con?
gress in their disposal of cadetships un?
der tho Act of 1850, which provides both
flue aud imprisonment for such a crime.
After weeks of daily conflicting ru?
mors as to the nature of tho report that
tho House Committee on Foreign Affuits
would make ou the Cubau questiou, the
people are at last assured that the Com?
mittee hos agreed on a report, and that
it <8 substantially as follows: Tint the
President be instructed to declare, and
maintain strict and impartial neutrality
on the purt of our Government in tho
contest now exinting between the peo?
ple of Cuba and Spain; and that ali Acts
and provisions of the statutes approved
in 1818, for tho punishment of crimes
against the United States shall be con?
strued to apply equally to each of the
parties in tho existing contest between
Cuba and Spain. This proposed report
is nearly like tho resolution introduced
by General Banks, on the Hit li of Febru?
ary last, and without doubt, with some
sligh* modifications, Banks' resolution
will be pressed toa voto. Tho advocates
of Cuban independence now feel san?
guino that this resolution will pass both
houses and be signed by the President at
short notice, if pushed forward, and with
the same belligerent rights as aro now
accorded to Spain by our Government,
(Julia will gain her independence within
sixty days. HOMO.

NORTHERN DEMOCRACY.-Tuero ia aa
attempt being made to Tr?ik?u tue iuiih
of the people of the .South in the Demo?
cracy of the North, and to accomplish
thia the chief efforts have been directed
to nn appeal, us a mutter of policy aud
expediency-almost ns a matter of neces?
sity-for o third party movement, and in
slurs upon the war record of Northern
Dem?crata. The groat question of the
day is, whether wo tire to have a national
consolidated government, or whether tho
government as organized ami ordained
by our fatheis, shall bo preserved and
maintained. There are really but two
parties iu existence, however they may
bo disguised, and theso two have existed
from the foundatiou of the Government.
They aro thc National, or Republican, or
radical party, and tho Democratic party.
Now it does uot matter how direlict to
duty a portion of the Democratic party
of thc. North may have been duriug the
war. Tho immediato question of tbut
time is not tho graud question of to-day.
Tho war Democrats who fought for the
Union, but now repudiate radicalism and
como boldly to the front to battle for the
reserved rights of tho States-for tho
letter and spirit of tho Constitution aud
its inviolability-are joined to the
..peace" wing of the party, the only hopo
of the Southern people-the only allies
by whose assistance the South can ever
hope to conquer. Tho war record of
tho Northern Democracy eau have no
bearing upon tho poll heal questions
which now agitate the country; it is an
issue as dead as slavery itself. What the
South needs is a friend to help her iu
her unequal warfare with the radical de?
struct iouists, mid that frieud, that assist?
ance, can only come from the ranks of
the Democratic party. What difference
does it make to the South whether Beast
Butler was a States' rights man in 1860,
if he now st wyes daily to destroy the
principles which he then advocated; or
whether Hancock fought ii: the urmy of
the Potomac, and Voorhees and Cox
spoke in favor of the Uuion, if they now
join with us iu thu struggle against a
centralized despotism?

THE UADICAL CARDINAL DOCTRINE.
Mendoza Scott, nader the spiritual in?
fluence of Washington radicalism, has
been bold enough to utter publicly the
cardinal doctrine! of the radical party.
It is a short creed, so simple and so plain
that he who runs may read. There is no
doubt as to its inclining; uot a shadow of
doubt as to its design. It is somewhat
sententious, but that is becoming. It is
not new in principle. That bloody old
Spaniard, Mendoza, proclaimed it and
enforced it long, long, before our Men?
doza Scott stood "on tho picket line."
But the carpet-bagger from Ohio, who
affects to rule the State of South Caro?
lina by a majority of free ballots, has
phrased it in the modern language of
moderu radicalism. The Wiuchester
rifle is the best law. This is the highest
effort of radicul statesmanship; the graud
climacteric of radical civilization. The
minnie ball takes the place of the garotte.
The unerring bullet will bring swift pu?
rification or servile submission, and so
cure radical progress with plunder.
The turbulence of war and the waves
of revolution throw such scum as Men?
doza Scott to the surface. Like a true
radical, he would perpetuate those con?
ditions which gave him lifo and power.
Beyond all doubt he is a true type of rad?
icalism; nud if his parlizans elsewhere
thau iu tho State he uffects to rule, pos?
sess more cunning, he is their superior
in audacity, for he openly and boldly
proclaims the revolting cardiuul princi?
pio of tho radical party in the iuhtiman,
diabolical utterance-"The Winchester
rifle is the best law."
