WHITTOE COUNTS V EXPECTS.
The" cpnntry expects the present
Congress 4o carry on the work of
re'lrenchment in earnest. The Presi
dent has committed himself to such
a poliey, and the Democrats stand
pledged before, the country to cut
- down all useless expenses. An honest,
economical administration of the
Government ? is ' what the country
needs and demands. Enough money
has been literally stolen and wasted
since 1865 to run the Government
'for the next five years. At least
forty per cent of the money -that has
been drawn from the people in taxes
has been misapplied, wasted, i; or
,. stolen. So the country has had quite
enough of peculation and extrava
gance and incapacity on the part of
officials.
Jn the brief address made by
Speaker Randall on taking the Chair,
he said that "still greater reductions
can be made without impairing the
, efficiency of the adminis'tration.' He
said farther, that"ta have an honest
administration it should be frugal."
That ir the right tu ne to sing hon
esty and frugality. An honest go
. vernment always costs les& than a
dishonest one like Grant's, because
thenaoney ; is applied as designed.
An extravagant government one
that ' wastes, the peoples' money, is
necessarily . corrupt. For ; ten years
or more the people haver been preyed
upoiTby an immense army of sharks
. and thieves. There was . corruption
in the WhiteJIouse, in all, the de
partments, in Congress, and all over
the land. Frauds, bribery, corrup
tion,' thieving, debauchery, vice,
(crime all these followed in the wake
of a government that -was admiois
lered without .wisdom and honesty. ;
ff4"he rules , that apply to private
conduct must applt to governments.
The New York Journal of Cork-
"When our" Government was spending
- the public money. Congressmen were ac
4 ceptng bribes wiUi both hnd. Cabinet
- officers were, irf ceBusiohi witk 1 lobbyists
and thieves, and the civil service was 'a
convicted sham and swindle. The im
provement which has been made in official
morals dates from the retrenchment in fed-
era! expenses. Cause and effect were never
more plainly linked. - That which civil
service reform as a system never could
have done, had it been undertaken in good
' faith, instead of being the sport of 'treach
ery, the simpletneang of cutting down the
annual appropriations has tended to ac
complish Persevered In, this policy of re
ducing the outlays in all the departments
will of itself heighten the integrity and ef-
ficiency of the public service, while a re
lapse into the old time extravagancies will
surely revive the worst era of credit mo

A com-

bales of cotton.- The truth is Mo

Register claims that the new factory
will have an advantage of three cents
a pound over the new England man-;
ofacturers, or $15 a bale,or tl2,o6dfor
the 800 bales a sum equal to a gbSd
dividend. Georgia has set; a good
example, let the other States fo)!ow..
Columbus, Georgia, .is entitled .to
the name of the Lowell of the South,
which she has won by energy, and
enterprise. It is aii interior rtown,
has about fifteen thousand inhabi
tants, and is at the hejul of steamboat
navigation. When the war end?d it
was a desolate looking place, for the
Northern vandals -had been there
burning and destroying, Not a fae-
tory was left; all were in ruins
But
the business men went? t
woik in
earnest, and with well directed:; f ner
giesli Th$y j !determinedTf'to' - rebuild
the factories and to bnnsr the mills ta
the cotton, instead of 'tre'old way Bf
carrying the cotton to the mills. 'One
company built ; two 'y' factories, ; ihe
Phoanix and the Eagle one a 1 opln
len, and the other a .co.ttpn . faciory
These two factories alon enipldy-
seven buudrea . nanus. iifjey i nave
since built another larger and finer
factory The; company now manu
factures fortjfsldififereht kinds,of
goods, from spool cotton to tweive-i
quarter blankets, i We: copy from a
letter in the Charleston iVVw nn(
Courier: ' . ' ! .
"Their -sales -durkiK the last mpnlb'
averaged over $5,000 per dsy, j fill
ing orders from Virginia to Texas,! and
from Florida to Missouri. They have jko-,
agents, but everything is sold af" the fac
tory. Their ginghams, diapers, ticking,'
denims, jeans cassimsojs, &c, compare
favorably with the best products from Eng
lish and Northern looms ot similar quality.
Their water pqwer is immense, being the
whole Chattahoochee River, which at this
point at this time is seven hundred feet
wide. The capital of the company is tl,-
250,000. Their profits for 1876 were $126,
875 60. The stock on hand on 1st January
last, (time of last report.) consisting of cot
ton, .wool, manufactured goods, dye stuffs,
chemicals, &c, amounted to $405,461,28;
cash and sight exchange $214,232.86; re
serve fund $210,630 53. There is a very
commodious savings bank connected , with
the establishment, the books of which show
amount due depositors (chiefly employees)
$429,417 78. Across the street near by is i
a well stocked retail store, under the man7
agement of some of the leading men of the
factory. The president of the company is
Mr. N. J. Bussy. Mr. W. H. Young, one
of the directors, seems to be the chief
directing head of this vast and very suc
cessful enterprise."
There are many other factories at
Columbus, all of which are flourish
ing. There is one factory that man
ufactures cotton bagging out of jute
that is .said to be very superior.
There are tlour.mills, an iron foundry,
&c Altogether it is a wide " awake
place, and other towns with equal
facilities might learn a lesson from the
example of Columbus that would be
their making. Energy, drive, hope,
capacity united with capital will make
any community thrive.
Wilmington has great natural ; ad
vantages. ' Something should be done
to give it a new impetus on the
highway of prosperity. There are
scores of men here to-day who in
either not employed ait all, or onljf a
part of their lime. The-businessmen
of a town have it in their power
generally to make it live and , active
and gf owing and prosperous, or to
let it "go slow" until thejiouses a!rn
deserted and the grass. - grows in its
streets. We place the example pf
Columbus before our people. Got
thou and do likewise.
It is a noticeable fact, that, the
President's first i message'.' is 'dated
Washington, D. C, and begins cl Fel
low Citizens of the Senate and Itonse
of lepresentatiyes.H The old way
has been to date "Executive Man
sion," and to address "To the Seriate
aud House of Representatfves." We
presume the change is not accidental,:
but is an endeavor to get nearer io'
true republican simplicity. That U
certainly a better vay than the maQ-on-horSe
back style that has lately
prevailed. ; ') V . f
It is clearly the duty of Congress
to provide at once for the payment'
of the present army. Of this there
can be no question. It is cleaTly its
duty to see to it that " there is no' in
crease. After s awhile, its will be itsj
duty to see that it is .reduced to not
more than 12,000, or 15,000 at
greatest. . ': .7;,.
