Manufacturing Establishments Necessary.
Columbus, Ga., has added a Broom Fac
tory to her many other industries, where
upon the Macon Telegraph says:
"Columbus is getting a noble example to
the South. Besides her thousands of looms
and spindles for converting cotton and wool
into cloth and yarns, she is manufacturing
all sorts of domestic wooden-ware, furniture,
carriage and wngou findings, axe helves,
agricultural implements, and now he has
started a fyroom factory."
The Augusta Factory, of that city, de
flared during the last sjx months of the
year two dividends of five per cent on the
1st instant by way of a New Year's gift to
jhe stockholders, and made a further addi
tion tp the company's surplus fund. Who
says Manufactories will not pay in the
South? What Columbus, Ga., has done
and is doing, Charlotte might do if her citi
zens would use some of their capital in the
fstablishmcntof Manufactoiies. Ten percent
i six months and surplus fund increased,
would make the heart of many a capitalist re
joice, and yet who will say that it cannot be
'realised as well in Charlotte as in Columbus,

TJie U. S. Circuit Court in S. 0.
The United States Circuit Court, which
commenced its sittings at Columbia on the
27th of November, 1871, adjourned on
Thursday last, to meet at Charleston on the
first Monday of April next. Before the ad
journment of the Court, Robert Hayes
Mitchell and others were brought before
Judge Bryan on a writ of habeas corpus,
the purpose being to get the question of the
constitutionality of the "Enforcement Act"
before the Supreme Court. After argu
ment, Judge Bryan decided that the pris
oners were legally detained and they were
remanded to prison.
During the sitting of the Court, it is
stated that the grand jury found true bills
against over five hundred persons belong
ing to York, Spartanburg and Union coun
ties, who are charged " with conspiracy,
outrage, or murder." Of this number about
pne hundred are indicted for murder. Up
to the time of the adjournment of the Court,
jpfty-two persons had been sentenced to lines
and imprisonment or imprisonment alone.
The fines rane from ten dollars to one
thousand dollars, and the terms of imprison
ment from one month to live years. t'ork:

Alarming "if True."
A very disagreeable prophecy is quoted
by Journal de Rrazcllcs. The prophecy is
attributed to the venerable Anna Maria
Taigi, ami is to the effect that two grpat
chastisements may bo expected the one
from Heaven the other from earth. The
latter, which will consist in wars, revolu-

lions ami omer calamities, being terminated,
that from IJeaven will succeed, and i$ ex
plained as follows: "Great darkness is to
prevail over the wholp. land during three
days and nights. It. will be so thick that
absolutely nothing will be visible, and will
be accompanied by pestjjence which will
chiefly fall on t jie . enpmies of religion, al
though the scourge will not be entirely con
fined to them. While this darkness lasts,
no ught will shine, no fire will have any
brightness, and only those wljo have blessed
things (candles ?) will be able to see. All
this is very horrible, and it is to be hoped
that the ladv may be mistaken in her pre
dictions, am! that they may turn out to be
as erroneous as that of the great tidal wave
which was the other day to have destroyed
New Orleans. The phophetcss, however,
gives full directions as to the proper course
to be pursued during this rejgn of darkness
and pestilence. People ai"e oxhorted not to
endeavor to "scan the Ileaveiis curiously
during the darkness, for whosoever shall o
and look out of a window, or leave his house
for the purpose of descrying the furmament,
will be immediately struck down. The whole
time that the judgment shall last ought to
Ve employed in prayer, and above all in re
citing the Holy Rosary. The director of
Anna Maria Taigi said in August, 18S4;
"It is most true that the venerable servant
of God announced the scourge of three davs
darkness extending' pver the whole earth.
While it lasts the windows must be closed."

N. C. Legislature.
Monday, Jan. 15,
Sexate Mr Cook introduced a bill to
authorize the laying off and establishing a
public road from Statesville to Wilkesboro.
Also, a bill to confirm the sales of certain
lands made by the commissioners of Wilkes
county. Referred.
The bill to prohibit deputy or assistant
clerks from practicing as attorneys in coun
ties wherein they act as deputy or assistant
clerks, was put upon its third reading. Mr
Jtobbins moved to exempt Rowan and Stanly
counties from its operation. Agreed to. The
bill then passed its third reading 22 to 12.
The bill relating to fees of Superior Court
Clerks, being the special order for 12 o'clock,
was taken up. Mr Cowles moved to in
definitely postpone the bill. Mr Graham of
Orange, thought the bill should pass. It
restored the fees of clerks to about what they
were under the revised code. The act of
last session cut down the fees below what
they should be to secure the services of
competent clerks.
Mr Olds explained that the bill made only
four changes, and in these the fees were in
creased. Mr King did not see why the fees of clerks
should be increased and those of other oiii
cers left untouched.
Mr Worth thought the bill should pass.
Mr Merrimon hoped Mr Cowle's motion
would prevail. The fees of clerks were more
numerous than formerly.
Mr Cowle's motion did not prevail.
Mr Robbins of Davidson, opposed the
whole matter. The clerks were making for
tunes in most cases. The fees of clerks now
are much higher than under the revised
code.
Mr Cook moved to lay the whole matter
on the table. Not agreed to 20 to 16.
The bill then passed its second reading by
a vote of 19 to 17.
The bill to incorporate the Catawba and
Lincoln Mining and Manufacturing company
passed its third reading.
House Mr Morris presented a petition
from a portion of the citizens of Henderson,
McDowell, Polk, Buncombe and Ruther

Tennessee & Ohio Railroad Company. Re
ferred. The bill in favor of James G. Threadgill
and George B. Willoughby, former Sheriffs
of Anson county, and the Sheriffs of Union

ings. Also, the bill to incorporate the town
of Catawba Vale, McDowell county. Also,
the bill to reinstate and restore records des
troyed by fire or otherwise during the late
war.
On motion of Mr Waring the bill exempt
ing the Firemen of Charlotte from public
duties was taken up and passed its several
readings.
Tuesday, Jan. 16.

relation to the boundary line between the
States of North Carolina and Virginia. Re
terred. Mr Moore introduced a resolution to en
quire into the official conduct of the Door
keeper of the Senate.
Uhe bill entitled "an act concerning repre
sentation in the House of Representatives
passed its third reading.
House The bill in regard to the debt of
the State was taken up and considered. A
lengthy debate took place in which Messrs.
Ashe,Stanlord, Gregory, Strud wick, Jordan,
Crawford, Tucker, col., of Craven, and Ilea
ton took part. The bill failed to pass its se
cond reading, but was reconsidered and left
for future action.
Wednesday, Jan, 17.
Senate TJie bill to promote immigration
was considered, the question being on the
motion of Mr Bobbins of Davidson, to re
consider the vote by which the bill was re
jected on its third reading. Mr Moore (re
publican) advocated the reconsideration and
the passage of the bill. He thought it the
true means to build up the State. The re
publican party were in favor of it, and the
negroes supported it, and feared no compe
tition in labor.
Price, col., followed in opposition to the
bill. He did not consider Mr Moore as the
custodian of thy views of the republican
party, and particularly ot the colored people,
on I his subject. He (Price) believed the
object of the bill was to drive out and sup
plant the negroes of the State.
Mr Robbins of Rowan, urged the recon
sideration. He combatted the idea of the
purpose of this bill being to drive out the
liegro. 1 hat notion, he said, emanated from
interested demagogues whispered into the
negro's ear.
Mr Li nney was opposed to immigration
on principle, and hence he was opposed to
this bill. Besides he believed the proposed
measure would not meet the ends of its pro
moters, or secure the desirable class of im
migrants sought.
Mr Jones followed in reply to Mr Linney.
It was a mistake to suppose the proposed
5,000 was to be given as a bonus to bring
the "pauper German immigrant" to the
Slate. It was a proposition to invest $5,000
which would be repaid to the State a hun
dred fold in the development of her resources.
It was to make an effort in the advance, and
though small gave promise of a new era in
our policy of government. In conclusion he
repeated that his only objection to the bill
was the meagreness of the sura proposed.
After reconsideration, the question then
recurred on the passage of the bill on its
third reading and resulted yeas 25, nays 22.
Mr Cook introduced a bill to allow "insol
vents to take the insolvent's oath in twenty
days.

The Senate bill establishing a turnpike
road from Marion, McDowell county, to
Burnsville in Yancy county, passed its sev
eral readings.

linian and Era was adopted, and the bill
passed its third reading.
On motion of Mr Tucker of Iredell, the
Senate bill to provide for the service of pro
cess issuing from courts of justices of the
peace in civil causes, where one or more of
the defendants reside out of the county in
which the action is brought, was taken up.
The substitute reported by the committee

The Raleigh Carolinian says that the
Commission of practical printers, constituted
by the Legislative Committee appointed to
measure the work of the State Printer and
audit his accounts by the written terms of
the contract, have finished their labors and
sent their report to the Chairman of the In
vestigating Committee. The Commission
reports that the State Printer was overpaid
up to September last (he has drawn nothing
since) three thousand three hundred and
thirty-eight dollars and fifty-nine cents. The
General Assembly will order the Auditor to
deduct this sum from the accounts of the
State Printer for work done since September
last, and then make a settlement as to the
balance.
A Story for the Times.
There is a fable among the Hindoos that
a thief having been detected and condemned
to die, happily hit upon an expedient which
gave him hope of life. He sent for his jailor
and told him that he had a secret of great
importance which he desired to impart to
the king, and when that had been done he
would be prepared to die. On receiving
this piece of intelligence, the king ordered
the culprit to be conducted to his presence
and demanded of him to know his secret.
The thief replied that he knew the secret
of causing trees to grow which should bear
fruit of pure gold. The experiment might
be easily tried, and his majesty would not
lose the opportunity; so, .accompanied by
his prime minister, his courtiers, and his
chief priest, he went with the thief to a
place selected near the city wall, where the
latter performed a series of solemn incanta
tions. This done, the condemned man pro
duced a piece of gold and declared that if it
should be planted, it would produce a tree
every branch of which would bear gold.
"But," he added, "this must be put into
the ground by a hand that has never been
stained bv a dishonest act. Mv hand is not
clean, therefore, I pass it to your majesty."
The King took the piece of gold, but hesi
tated. Finally he said, "I remember in my
younger days that I often filched money
from my father's treasury which was not
mine. I have repented of the sin, but yet I
hardly dare say my hand is clean. 1 pass
it, therefore, to my prime minister."
The latter, after a brief consideration, an
swered : "It were a pity to break the charm
by a possible blunder. I receive taxes from
the people; how can I be sure that I have
remained perfectly honest? I must give it
to the governor of our citadel."
"No, no," cried the governor, drawing
back. "Remember that 1 have the serving
out of pay and provisions to the soldiers.
Let the high priest plant it."
And the priest said : "You forget ; I have
the collecting of tithes and disbursements
for sacrifice."
At length the thief exclaimed: "Your
majesty, 1 think it better for society that all
five of us should be hanged, since it appears
that not an honest man can be found amone
us."
In spite of the lamentable exposure, the
king laughed; and so pleased was he with
the thief's cunning expedient, that he grant
ed him a pardon.
Ax Extensive County. The county of
Augusta, in Virginia, once embraced "the
States of Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana
and Michigan. When Virginia was named
after Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn
and Harry VIII he of the many wives it
was the proud boast of her then few inhab
itants that her territorial limits extended
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and up and
down to each pole. When battling for
American Independence with a handful of
hungry, ill-clad and worse armed patriots
against the disciplined legions of the British
King, it was, in case of being overpowered,
to the mountains of Augusta that George
Washington proposed to retreat to make a
last stand for "liberty and the rights of
man." Virginia, though she gave way an
Empire and was despoiled of half her terri
tory by iniquitous legislation, has no reason
to be cast down nor is she, "There is life
in the old land yet." Richmond Whiq.

Corundum in Western North Caro
lina. We are permitted to make the fol
lowing extract from a private letter, writ

gist from Western North Carolina, to a
member of the Legislature :
"I mentioned to you that I intended to
discover auother. corundum mine. I have
made that discovery about twenty miles
West of this (Franklin, N. C.) on Burch
Creek. I spent about one whole day on the
grounds. We saw and turned over what I
suppose will make about twenty thousand
pounds of Corundum. I have no doubt of
its existence in veins at this place."
If it exi ts in veins, as Pro. Smith be
lieves, then there can be no doubt that it
exists in large quantities, and is a very val
uable addition to the mineral interests of
the State. Raleigh Era.

Cri" A great discovery is said to have
been recently made by a surgeon of the
British army in China, in the way of an ef
fectual remedy for small pox. The mode
of treatment is as follows : When the pre
ceeding fever is at its height, and just be
fore the eruption appears, the chest is rubbed
with crotou oil and tartaric ointment. This
causes the whole of the eruption to appear
on that part of the body to the relief of the
rest. It also secures a full and complete
eruption, and thus prevents the disease
from attacking the internal organs. This is
now the established mode of treatment in
the English army in China, and is regarded
i as a perfect cure.
Murder at a Wedding.
The Spottswood Assassination Case A !
Jealous Woman'' s Revenge Jfrs. Com
modore Chauncey Arrested.
From the New York Standard, Jan. 3.
Mrs. Commodore Chauncey, the lady who
shot Daniel Snowhill at a wedding in Spotts
wood, N. J., is under arrest at her" house,
near the scene of the tragedy. She cannot
be removed to the jail at New Brunswick,
so serious were the injuries she received at
the time of her attempt upon Snowhill's life.
Physical prostration after the excitement of
the attack, and the flight, has also done
much to reduce her strength, so that it is
scarcely likely that she will be well enough
to be removed to the jail for some days or
weeks to come. The officers of the law keep
a strict watch over her residence, however,
and it is not likely that she will escape, even
if, as it is suspected, her present prostration
is partly sham.
Her disguise, and the remarkable boldness
with which she carried out her murderous
purpose on Thursday night, have prepared
her custodians for any exercise of ingenuity
on her part to escape from the clutches of
the law. It is said by her friends, however,
that she is prepared to meet a trial and
justify her conduct, and it is alleged that
her previous high reputation will aid her in
clearing herself, even if, as is expected,
Snowhill should die. Mrs. Chauncy, it may
be imagined, is overcome with grief and the
rage of disappointment at being detected in
the crime upon which she had so long medi
tated. The perfection of her disguise, and
the celerity with which she left the scene of
the tragedy in the excitement attendant
upon tiie shooting, would probably have
prevented suspicion from resting upon her,
but for the fact, reported by one of her ser
vants, that she was absent from the house
at the very time when the shooting occurred.
It was then remembered that she had once
or twice used expressions in regard to Snow
hill that boded no good for him ; and the
intimacy which was suspected to have ex
isted between them was at once recognized
as the probable cause of her attempt upon
his life.
Snowhill lies in the house at which he
was visiting, in a very critical condition,
and it is not thought probable that he can
recover. The bullet, which lodged near his
heart, has not been extracted.
Mrs. Chauncy's injuries result from a
blow which Suowhill struck when she first
tired at him. Dressed in male attire Snow
hill thought her a man, and put himself on
the offensive as soon as he discovered that
his assailant was armed.
The prisoner is a handsome widow of
thirty-four, with black eyes and dark hair,
and appears to be a woman with whom it
would not be wise to trifle. How intimafe
her acquaintance with Snowhill was the
neighbors do not say, for it appears to have
been kept secret, it is staled, however,
that there was an engagement of marriage
between them, the breaking off of which
was the cause of Mrs. Chauncy's rage.
There is much excitement in the communi
ty over the strange and unprecedented af
fair, and although a general horror is felt
at the cold-blooded atrocity with which the
woman sought Snowhill's life, she. has her
friends, who are eager in her defense. It
is said by these that there was no quarrel
between them; no engagement or intimacy
of any kind what ever, and that Mrs.
Chauncey went in men's clothes, with oth
er female company, for a "link," and that
she shot Snowhill in her flight, after the lat
ter had struck her.
