THE GLEANER. GBAH AM, N. C., DEC. 21, 1875. B. PABHJBB, Editor. A TOBACCO FACTORY. It has struck us as strange that the manufacture oi tobacco has not been more extensively engaged in,in our conn ' ty. No county in the Slate, we venture, contains a greater proportion of laxd adapted to the growth of tobacco than doesonrs. It is extensively grown iu all that portion of the connty north of the railroad, about one-half, and the quality Is as fine as that grown any where, while in the southern part of the county there is scarcely any raised, not withstanding the flue tobacco lands tbere. Use reason is obvlaus. The northern portion has been stimulated by its proximity to Danville Mid the •iber tobacco markets. Here at the •aunty seat, which should furnish a market for at least every product of the county, the fkrtKr cannot sell a pound of tobacco;—there Is no dealer here. What is the result? Why, the product upon which many of our farmers mainly rely for money, and which brings more money into the county than any other, is hauled miles away to other towns, at great expense and inconvenienoe to the producer, and contributes to their! prosperity. Much of It Is carried out of tlie State, even. It does seem that our - merchants especially would see this, and prompted by their manifest interest* would see that a market was provided. Where the farmer is forced to carry hU produce to distant markets be will of course there do much of liis trade. That _ is what has, in a few years, converted ~ a mere depot at Durham into the pro portions of a busy, thriving, populous town. Tho same thing has built Belds ville, in so very short a time, into a town larger than any in onr county, and of Ave times tho business. This town, and our sister town otCompany Shops present locations for tobacco factories and warehouses, unexcelled. There is as much fine tobacco lands, on all sides, within a radius of ten to fiftoen miles of this place as can be found with, in the same distance of perhaps any village in the State. What we ueed is enterprise,—nothing else. Our people seem disinclined to take hold of the matter. We waut some one to come among us who is not so penny cautious. Those already here, who would do, have not the capital. Some who have both capital and enterprise are engaged in other branches of manufacturing indus try. let a market be opened In onr midst; let factories go up; let ware bouses be established; and what would be the certain result? The pro duction of tobacoo would receive a stimulous everywhere, and it would be engaged in where It la now untboghtof, and all the chinquapin lands of all the southern portion of the county that are now deemed by their owners as next to worthless, would be in demand, and frove the soaroe of the greatest income So those possessing them. Money would And its way among u«, and the cry ot bard.times, would less frequently ring Its dolefbl monotony In our ears. A now lift and a new energy would take hold or our formers. Ami in our ton n, tho spirit ot improvement, coupled with the ability to accomplish its aim, would aoon work n magical cbange, Suppoee thatal this connty has done to build np other places, had boon kept at homo and bad gone to tho aid of onr own towns, what would have bee* the result? Tens of thousands of dollars every year are spent In Danville, Reidsville, Dur ham, and other plaoas, that should and wood bo spent at hows, If formers coakl sell their produes bars as wall as buy their merchandise. There Is not to-day soaroely an Im provadpeioe of real property In any town fie tho oounty that can bo sold for the oost of the improvements. Why Is ~Z*tbis so? Stagnation at borne, while onr . wagons are In the streotoof other towns, ftudod with produce of oar oounty, and ready to take a return load of the goods of vtlier merchants. Dealing in tobao eo I-a profitable business, as many rap idly nccumnla ed fortuues in different ;>lac(»s, and thriving villages and towns of &inl*len growth abundantly teetify. Well, we suppose our people will sit still, until the attractions that are offer ed xii aw parties tere, and they demon str.uc the success of the business,and then a halt piteous bowk will bo raised - over the opportunities they am too blind to see, oc too week to advantage oL We . want to hear thjm giving the seasons , why tboy didn't toe it. This is an age when wo build towna, make fortunes,, and sometimes broak in a hurry? and evevy 000 who does not wish to beoou sidtredalagardmust put himself In the way of so doing oc helping to-do. Wo hope some ones attention may be-direct od to the advantages offered here for engaging in the tobacoo business,. in all its branches, and that we shall have in our midst, factories and warehouses, and buying and soiling and lire business and enterprise and building and a gen eral thriving and waking up. ' I 1J WHY (IKKDKKNO* WAS 018- CHARGED. Every body has beard of the whUkey ring* oat West. Bristow commenced his unearthing process some time ago, and soon thereafter Grant's instruction was given to the world. "Let no guilty man escape." This brief sentence was heralded by fHends of the administra tion as an evidence that the President at least was free from all complications in the mammoth conspiracy to defrand the government. They seemed to think evidence of this sort waa needed. To Impress the country with the earnest ness with which the prosecution was to be conducted, and with the sincerity of Grant in ijia declaration. " Let no guilty man escape," ex-Senator Hen derson was employed to assist the reg ular officer in tlie prosecution of those charged as defendants. A month ago the trials begun. Henderson, able and bonest, was terribly In earnest in his endeavors to "let no guilty man escape. One by one the pets of the administra tion were caught in the meshes of the law they had grown rich in violating > McDonald and Joyce and A very the personal friends and third term admi rers of this second savior, as Bishop Haven irrevently calls this President, are convicted and has been meted out to them the tate of felons. The conspiracy is being unraveled ' and the concealed web followed up by the thread of circumstances seems to reach from the white house to the west. Avery stands upon it and has already fallen. Babcock the friend of long standing, the confidential Secretary •* the Presideut, a General in the United j States army, is found on this- web of infamy, and is intangled in the unrav eling process, and now lies sprawling with a bill of indictment tugglug at him, and pointing to the penitentiary. Something must be done. Where aw these developments to stop? Hende*. son has taken the President at his word* Henderson has been gotten rid of—has been peremtorily discharged. In the evidence it appeared that Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Douglas, had is. sued an order removing McDonald who was supervisor of Revenue, to another field, which order, under the iiifiuenoe of Babcock or the President, one or both, Douglas revoked. McDouald bad been convicted and sentenced for his complicity in this conspiracy. Hender. son in his speech to the jury commented upon the testimony as follows: "Why doe* this man Douglas bend the rap pie hinges of the knee and yield to the Presl ident's luterfereacc, or that of his private Sec retary? It was the doty of Douglas to have carried oat that order or resigned his pod don. Would to God we had more of that vet eran staff that formerly animated Federal of ficer*! Why net welld with dignity and man hood? What have we gained by the abolition of the black man's slavery If the white man is to be substituted for him in the shackles and chains of meu, a worse system of slavery? If mea would think for a moment they would rather live In honored private life than to pnaaeaa all the glittering baubles of public life bound down and overwhelmed with the corruption that now necessarily accompanies it. If Henry Clay had never done or saia any thing else than "1 had rather be right than Prmdent" that should immortalise him. Bat Douglas yleled to the power of Babcock and the President's Interference. He was honest, f believe, but he was poor, and be felt that his position depended upon obeypig the be hests of those who hsd no right to intefere with his duties. For tbln language Henderson was dis missed peremptorily. Ibis conduct of tho President and Attorney General has been and is being severely criticised. Whatever may have been the prompting motive, the country will over believe that the reason given for Hendersons removal Is uothing more than tho veriest pretext. Grant and tho Attorney General oould but have known that It woukl be so regarded and nothing bnt a desire to virtually stay tbe prosecution, and thus stop damaging exposures, and serene guilty men in high places, oould have induced them to brave tbe storm of public indig. nation, distrust ami suspicion that their action was so well calculated (o, and has so oertalnly brou.ht down upon their bonds. To oouvoy an idea of tbe estimation In which this eondnet Is hold and at the severity ot the critioi|ms I t has brought about, we repro nee the followiag extract. The Philadelphia limes says: And this brings as to the deeper and more serious meaning of Mr. Henderson's discharge of which It is Impossible to speak too severunr. View it In whatever light we will, we «a» aee In the order sent out from Washington nothing else than a formal notice to all aroeeoetlag offl ears that this thing has gosM far enough, and that the Presidents private secretary Isao* to be conrieted It saa msaa noshing ah*. Mr. Henderson said nothing that vac ant both right ,»ad necessary to say, Be took the President at his voad, an* net a* guilty man escape. '* Bnt tho moment that, following the carefully aoKsetad evHseeeTae stiasS fos trail that MdtreeStv totheWhlte Honae, be was called off and his services dispensed with. There Isao misunderstanding this. No lawyer can now take np the earn and feel that he la to proseeate It to Its end, unhampered by out side iutsrtsi üßsn. lharsia an eae who baa Mr. Henderson's knowledge of the case; hot If there were, bs would ant dare after Hender son's experience, earnr ft «a to the eoa riotipa of Babooek. Viewed this light, the President a action Is math more than an ex hibition ot perianal temper. It is an inter fsnmesiwt& public lustts* an outrage upon public decency. It la not only, as the Prest* dent's friends admit. lmpolM?', It Is criminal, aad it wUI not only Justify bnt will demand the searching Inquiry of C rmgresa. West, Edward* fr C*. r of Atlanta re. ently failed for a heavy amount and we learu from the Plant that several firms in Durham aniler heavily thereby. Some of the members of the failing firm are la jail under charges 01 fraud. We published last week an item of new*, that a riot bad occurred at Koll. ing Fork in Miss., resulting in the death of some negroes. The.following par. ticnlar* are given by a telegram from Vicksburg. As will be aeen the whites acted on the defensive as usual in the inanv disturbances of which that State has been tbe scene. So longas the ne. groes act upon tbe principle that every negro, because ho is a negro, great a criminal he may be, is entitled to their efforts, forcible or otherwise to screen* him from punishment, these to be much regretted conflicts will take place. An obedience to the first law of nature brings it about: The account is as follows:- .. ■—— The orgin of the riot at Rolling Fork, Issaquena county on Saturday night Nov, 27, by • party of negroes wh 0 were assembled at the village and were drinking and carousing, when one of them pushed against a youth whom he met on the street, using rough language at tbe same time. The youth drew a knife and Inflicted a scalp wound on tbe nergro and then fled to a store for safety. The negroes became very mneh exasperated and avowed vengeance. To prevent this, a warrant was obtained fer the youth, chnrging him with assantt with iutent to kill* bat before It could be served, the negroes broke Into the store and beat tbe young lad severly with an iron bar, and finally one of the party shot the boy in tbe thigh. At tbe report of tbe pistol tbe negroes run, but tbe whites had begun to assemble, and fearing a general riot pursued and captured ten of them, put them in tbe station house and placed a guard over them during the night. One of tbe guards not upon duty came out on tbeporck with a gun on his shoul der and was orderd away by the senti nel on duty. As he turned, Ms gun which was ooikod, struck against tbe window and was discharged. The negro prisoners thinking that they were being flrCd upon stampeded and tbe guard opened up an Indiscriminate firing woun ding two of their own number and two negroes all slightly, but tbe prisoners es caped.On Sunday tbe most Intense exlte ment prevailed there, as it w®» learned that Noah Parker and Authur Brooks* two notorious negroes,were trylngto or. ganiae and the whites reorganized under Rev. Mr. Ball a Baptist minister, who arrested Brooks and Parker, and in the attempt to rescue them, the rencontre reported last night occurred. c«m>MM>enAi, sdmabv, SENATE. Senator Davis of West Virginia in. trodnoed a resolusion in the Senate calling upon the Secretary of the Treas ury to furnish Congress witn a lint of defaulters, the amounts of defalcations &c., which the lajr requires that officer to make, and which has not been doife. The republicans wanted postpone ment of action. Sherman .moved its reference to committee on finance Democrats replied that similar resolu. tions had gone to that committee and been buried. It was postponed for a day. Mernmon Introduced a bill to repeal the sections of laws that forbids the pay ment ot pensions, and of claims against the United States to persons who pro" moted, encouraged, or In any manner sustained the rebellion. The bill au thorises the settlement of such claims and appropriates #400,000 for that pur pose. Spencer ot Alabama introduced a resolution, looking to the investigation ot the circumstances attending bis own election. Fraud has been charged. Morton's resolution to investigate election in Mississippi debated with bit terness, without action. Housx.—Under a call of the States the following among other bills were ntroduced.
