Depend upon it diver sified industry is the only road to prosperity for th i South. In order that our readers may un derstand the new invention to which reference isjmade and appreciate its advantages and practicability, we take the following description of it from the New York ''Times :" "Another new process is being introduced into cotton manufacture which, if as represented, will province an important change ?n the system of tho South; where by necessity it at present belongs. Too invention re ferred to is known as the. Clement; Attachment, and its special function is to convert the cotton, as gathered, into yarn by one machine, thereby evading all the additional expenses >f pressing, bugging, ties, transporta tion, commissions, storage, sampling, insurance and niattp other itortM thai add to the cost of the raw cotton.%The idea is to make the producor a manu facturer of <varn; or, better, make ii practicable to establish factories in the neighborhood of growth "There! are six,mills in operation under this system?two in.South Carolina, three, in fourth Carolina^ud one in Corinth, Miss. The success of the mills in operation, the various description* of. the proceaf and figures of actual operations .leav.e. no room to doubt the success attained. The Westmin ster, S. (i., mill uses a small creek of six-horse power, a cheap frame builtl ing, the machiuory a cotton cleaner, Clement attachment, 300 spindles, two reels, a bunch and bale pros*; cost, $3500; employs one superintend cut, seven girls and one boy. The results for tho first twelve months were : $l,869.net piofits, which is a little, ovet 33 per ceutou the ex.jen I. . iure, or 20 per cent, on tho capital and current expense." r i ''Candidates. ') / i(t ti^ .o*.."'' io'J j ut'.tMjj We arc ofun struck with the ex, prest ions I nun the press and else-( where that such and such men (are candidates for this or that office, and it is tnkeu as a matter of course that they are the only tneu to be lh'?u'ht of in this connection. In other words amau must in someway make known his .desire for a particular office in order to be takeu up. This, to our mind, is altogether in opposition to the principle that all good men should encourage, that "the office shouid seels the man and not the mau the qfficc."" The good people seem to sit down and w ail until some political aspirant secretly and adroitly gets his name up for the oflice, and then,either through ignorance or indifference, they ac quiesce in what they imagine '.he popular cry. 1? is in this way that almost every office is filled. It is often argued that it ii u&elcps to nominate a mau because he has never signified ill any way that he wants or would a cept the offiee. We havfe?o'i-w,':-;".--'-?*- -*?&" incuts. If a man docs not want an office that is teudcted to him be can easily decline. In fact aseniitivf man who is always the most trustworthy is not upl to thrust himself forward as a candidate He keeps iu the back grcuu 1, and !eaves the people to make their own selection. The great trouble with our country is that the office-seekers obtain the offices. I f a man seeks au office, he does so for a selfish cud, and nut for the public good. Hi net; the political corruptiou which degrades our laud, aud we are sorry to say it is encouraged by the ignorance or indifference of good peo ple. If conventions would go to work aud select men for office . not on accouut of "heir prominence or ctmli. (foci/, but altogether on accouut of their fitness, a much desired reform would be inaugurated iu our land. As a gen ral thing candidates should be avoided. ,.t| Zuck Ohardler Gone. The death of this leader of the Republican patty and unrelenting foe of the South, ou Saturday, was rather unexpected news. He spoke to an in mense audience in Chicago on Friday night wtd wept to bed complaining a little of-indigestion. The next morning lie was found dead in his bed. He wus Senator from Michigan at the time of his death, ami, Secretary of the Interior under Grant, Our Marl Beds I. . . "// p;?J~7m , iii ? ;?(?!?. Jt was a rather curious discoverv to um on tending an idd Charleston "Menury," I earing tlaic August 23, 1843, ai d it may inlet fist our agricul J turul frh lid*, that at that early date the Black t>ak Agricultural Society passed a resolution, oflering a silver medal as a reward to the farmer wh j would experiment and demonstrate the practical old ty of our marl de posits as a manure. We n pi educe this hit of history to show that the idea of utilizing these deposits was not altogether of recent date as some may suppose. The subject wn? agitated 40 years ago. Eait Road Fares. Why do our Railroads charge euen. high fnrej? There mu9t be a reasoii, for It, but wo ha,ve not been able to fiud a satisfactory one our selves. Orangeburg is only 79 miles from Charleston and yet it costs $7 to go there and. return. How can .a merchant with small capital pay this amount, every time ho wants to visit this, city? He will stay at home and order goods from drummers. But whatever We rei ebnVwe do k'thiwone orjlwotfactsthl bit ' lSin*it* . In ihti fn-bt^nUfce; whfle the fares are -o high, very few people travel j and if they were redact I there would le much more traveling, and the' Ruilroad would mako a great deal more money, lor it hardly costs more to carry 100 passengers :han six; ami the trains are obliged to ruu eveiy day it there is only one pas senger to curry. A railroad official ou one of the roads leading into Charleston says that on an average not more than six pei8ous travel o i the regular daily passenger trains of that road. We have olteu seen traius with leas tliau' that number. In the second place, every body knows that as soon as the fares are reduced lor excursions, hundreds crowd the trains, and the railroads J and the city of Charleston reap a harvest which they would never do o her wise. We saw a few ays ago a return ticket issue ! by the O. & C. R. R. gooo fi.r 8 days fiom Newbetry to Charleston for ouo fare. Why can't the S. C. R; R. do thesame? Why limit the time from Saturday to Mon day morning? The occasional cheap rates and crowded traius prove con clusively wh it Charleston Ios?s by higli rates Will not our esteemed colempor ary the Charleston ''News and Cour ier," with its wide circulation and powerful influence, for the good of Charleston and tho people of the State generally, aid us in our cflorts to bring about this much desired and, we Ihink, reasonable reform? The Prospect. It must bo admitted that uulass a great change takes place, the nationa+t I rospect for 1880 is by no meoJ| cheorimz. _ Tb? ~> *>?? 4'-?r?r8*1^^ Republican politicians seem to have been successful in making a solid North. The presence of Confederate Generals in Congress has been taken as a battle cry to excite the belief among the Northern masses that the South contemplated the capture of the government. Coticil utiou and a generous policy and friendly spirit on their part was of no avail. Bitterness is preferred. The fact is, as we have often thought und said, the best and quickest way for the South to hecomu independent is t> ha\e less to do with politic and look more to internal improvement and material progress. Make good crops, and diversify our industry and politics will take care of itse'f. Old Zack's Last 8peech. On the day of the night that Chandler died he made one of his venomous epeeche? in Milwa'ukie, in which he belched foith a~ tirade of abuse upon the South, John C. Cal-' houn and every hing South of Mason and Dixon's line. Among other things he said "the greatest mistake we ever made was in not hanging enough of these tebels to make trea son forever odious." \ He has now go.,e to his last ac count, and as God has laid His hand on, it is well for man to take his off Ike In Trouble [For the Ornngeburg Times. .
