It is no Linger a ouestion that the mauu factn rsl as w ell as at;ricu!t n ral prod in Ls of the Cnittsl Suites uro to ex ert a controlling iutluence in the mar kets of tho world. The changes that are in progress are of the most remark able character, and their more impor tant consequence are to be felt much sooner mm nas ix-eu supisised. i lie English Journals are full or alarm ami sptvulationa on the subject, and tho statisth-s thev furnish of the decline of the otton industry at Oldham and Manchester are conclusive that a great change h.:s already occurred in that center ot textile tabrics. A redistribu tion of tho vast opulalion of these man utacturing districts of central En gland appears to be inevitable, and al- readv large numbers of the Shemeld workmen are preparing t,o emigrate to the I'nited Suites. The decline in Sh tliehl and Kirmtugham industries began earlier than in Manchester, and it has already proceeded further, both as regards the introduction into Kn glish markets of like articles fromAmer- ica. and as to the decline or actual breaking up of manufacturing estab lishments. Yet the recent reports that almost eery cotton factorj of Oldham and .Manchester nas tieen w-orKeu at a Iohs for the last year has created a great er sensation than any single event pre viously reported. Statements in regard to the reluctance of English masters to introduce im provements in the. process of these manufactures confirm the belief that American cotton goods will aotually enter largely into consumption in En gland before the mills now existing there will make goods like them. Eng lish cottons are almost all adulterated, sized with clay and "weight!" with loo ier cent, on an average of mere waste, and such is tho rigid constraint that forces them all forward in a course, once adopted, that uo singlo establish ment is bold enough to come out and make eoids in the American fashion, of nure cotton. Meanw hile the sale of American cottons increases daily in England, as well as in the distant mar kets which have been under the exclu sive control of England for an indefi nite period, ami as the comjietition is not one of prices but of intrinsic qual ities, the etui must bo the introduction of pure cotton in place of those made inferior bv adulteration. And the only wav for tho Manchester manufacturer to maintain his footing is to make goods precisely as w e make them. This ap pears to Ik? difficult if not impossible: at any rate it has not yet been attempt ed. An Oltl-Tliue tiralr. .-vi an null MornlnfC News.

What Two I'rouilueut SIlatslpplas Say Regnrllua; the Matter Con sidered a Dangerous Man. 'ahlngtoll Post, 21st. Among the gentlemen seated in the rotunda at Willard's, last night, were Judge Harris and lien. Nat Harris, of Mississippi. They are two of the most influential citizens of that State. For many years the' judge presided over the Vicksburg circuit, and his political opinions are tempered with judicial moderation. His brother, lieneral Nat Harris, commanded the fighting Mis sissippi brigade under Stonewall Jack son, and is a favorite amoug the people of his State. The rost took a seat be side the two gentlemen and introduced the subjoct of the killing of Captain Dixon, in Yazoo county. Said the Jmlge: "There is an entire inisaDDre- bension of this whole matter in the minds of the Northern people. This was not a contest betwoen the Demo cratic and Republican parties, or be tween any political parties. It was not a question of free franchise, either. It was an attempt on the part of the peo- plo to put down the bull-dozers and suppress lawlessness and disorder. Dixon and his confederates wer tHeL-d out of the Democratic party; they were repimiaieu oy it uocauso iney believed in tho rule of the shot-gun and the re volver. In 1S75 Dixon led th bull dozers, and his acts brought censure upon me people ot our State. This year ho claimed to have rend ernd valu able services to party, and demanded as ins reward, the nomination for sherilt. 1 he neonle refused to rui'iur nizo his services, and, as I have said, repudiated him and his followers. He then sought to organize the ne-rrouu and array them against the whites, lu short, to impose upon the people the ewis irom wmcn they had Treed them selves, 'ibis was a retrograde move inont, and it involved the social aud business interests of the people. They were contending for those interest." inxon was a man or unquestionable courage." said General IlurrU nH was far more dangerous, because of mat. as a leader or me nAirmna than da carpet-baggers. He was bloody up to meeioows. lie nad Killed rive or six men." "What was the ditlicultv rr Dixon and Harksdale? " "Barksdale." renlied Jmlo-A TTarria "is a candidate for chancery clerk ami as a Democrat, who desired law aud onier to prevail, he had denounced Dixon. This led to th difficult-. Harksdale is one of the most nrnminAnt and popular citizens of the county. He is eugagou in Dusiuess in Yazoo, has property mere, ana wants peace and quiet and amicable relations between the two races to prevail. He, too, is a brave man, and knew the risk be ran in denouncing Dixon." teneral Harris reneated what the judge had said to the effect that this contest was waged by the law -observ ing portion ol the population ugainst the lawless class; that as a rule the property holders whose all was at stake w ere opposed to Dixon, because ho wah constantly engaged in some lawless ac tion, aud, in addition to keeping the county stirred up. brought reproach upon it from abroad.

Coiiriar-Journal, August HHh. A special has just been received of the further sinking of tho large moun tain in North Georgia, which dropped into a suddenly made chasm some time since. This mountain, known as Tugo loo, is an enormous ono. It is more than two miles about its base, and is about as high as Stono mountain. Some months ago a thundering noise was heard as if a lively earthquake had had suddenly commenced operations. A gentleman who was going by the Tugoloo mountain looked toward it and was auiazed to see fully one-third of the enormous mass break loose from the rest and suddenly sink into the earth beneath, carrying with it im menso trees, stones, etc. After a few days the scene was visited, and it was found that the ground on which about one-third of the mountain was resting had opened or broken through, and the mass, thus being left without sup port, tumbled into the chasm provided for it. It apparently about tilled this chasm to a level with the ground, but has since been sinking. No one can imagine the cause, and fears are enter tained that the rest of the mouhtain must follow. The side from which the falling mass was torn is rugged and ir regular, no stratification having been fololwed in the tearing loose. The mass has just let down about two feet further, and the whole case will be in vestigated by competent scientists, who are determined to probe the secret of the lost mountain. A Hard Job.

Stewart and Judge Hilton iu Perfect Accord Negotiation for the Return ofthe Body. New York Tribune, th. Dr. John C. Minor, Mrs. SLowart's physician, was called upon at the Grand Union Hotel this evening, and inquiry was made if he had any information which he was willing to give to the pub lie in regard to the efforts to recover the body of the late A. T. Stewart. Dr. Minor is a tliaib rather under middle age, quiet;.an.clr alert in conversation, and polished aud pleasant in manner. He said that he did not caro to add to anything to the letter-published in the Tribune to-day. Whatever informa tion he possessed came to him in his ca pacity as family physician, and he was not at liberty to disclose it. Moreover, he had not Bought to inform himself, as he preferred to be able to plead a lack of knowledge in answer to the inqui ries of friends. He would say, how ever, that Mrs. Stewart had feit very keenly the injustice done Judge Hilton in the report that he had deceived her and induced her to believe that the body had been recovered. She had en tire confidence in Judge Hilton, who had kept her fully acquainted with every step in the case which she desired to know. She felt also the injustice to herself in the idea that she could be so weak as to be so easily deceived as this report claimed. She therefore desired her physician to write the letter to the Trib '.-. Mr. Minor would say little more about the case, but in the course of con versation it was learned that Judge Hil ton had received many communica tions from persons representing the thieves. They at first dep. ..-ded S-J,-500,000 for the' return of tiio body, but finall3r reduced their demands, steji by step, to 9200,000. General Joues had been only one of several persons through whom letters had come from the grave-robbers. Every effort had been made to trace these communica tions and to get at the original sources. The Montreal clew, or supposed clew, had been thoroughly examined with out result. It was not now believed that the body had ever been taken to Montreal. It was thought like that it might not be far from New York. A great amount of money and an im mense amount of labor and time had been spent in tracing every possible clow, in going every bit of ground that afforded tho faintest promiso of success. Iu those investigations it had been found that several men now of reputable position in New York, were connected with the robbers. Their names might yet be disclosed, and would startle the community. Propositions had been made to Judge Hilton to go to various places in the State, where it was prom ised the body would be delivered. In fact, thore had been proffers, sugges tions and negotiations of tho most va ried and remarkable sort; but Judge Hilton had no disposition to pay for the return of the body without the arrest of the criminals. The robbers had tried in every way to bring him to their terms, but he was inflexible. They were holding out, and he was holding out; and in patience, persistence and determination he was more than n match for them. Dr. Minor said he believed that neither Judge Hilton nor Mrs. Stew art would ever consent to the terms of the grave-robbers. The Judge showed no inclination, at present, he thought, to pay more than ? 25,000 for the return of the body, and would not compro mise at any price in the way of prom ising immunity to the criminals. Dr. Minor said he knew nothing about Dr. Carney's detective work, and very little about Dr. Carney himsed'. lie did not know where Dr. Carney had gone. II 3 himself was inclined to take a hopeful view of the case, and to be lieve that the body would yet be re covered, and the criminals bo brought tojustice, but he admitted that he had no special knowledge of recent prog ress made in the case to establish a firm foundation for such a belief. A Remarkable Counterfeit. Washington Post. The sub-treasury department at New Orleans has conio across a counterfeit silver quarter, a remarkable feature about which is, that it is intrinsically more valuable than the genuine quar ter dollar. According to Mr. M. V. Davis, the efficient coiner at the mint, to whom it was sent to be assayed, it weighs 978 grains, or 135 above legal weight, and contains fifty millimes ot gold, which silver coins do not contain, except in rare instances. Mr. James Albrecht, the assayer, reports that its fineness is 950 thousandths silver, and three thousandths gold. Theouly de fect about the piece is in the engraving ofthe words "In God we trust." The word "America" is abbreviated to "Amea," in the words "United States of America." Another Southern Outrage. New York Tribune. Maryland mosquitoes have killed little Timmy Stewart near Hilly o" Neck. The boy had been sent out to keep up a fire in the field, to driveaway the mosquitoes from cattle. The insects surrounded the boy like a cloud and literally bit him to death. They then assaulted the cattle with such ferocity that they drove them into the river, J where many ot them were arownea. The inhabitants are to hold a mass meeting and call upon the government for troops and an artillery squad. How the Union was Preserved, Atlanta Constitution. In a speech in Ohio the other day. Calico Charles passionately remarked: "We fought four years to preserve the Union." Charles'appears to be a regu lar fraud. He was no more in partner ship with Ewing and Rice in those days than lie is now. While the Dem ocratic candidates were fighting at the front, Charles was whacking away at the purser of the soldiers' wives with his little yardstick. And don't you go and lay anv heavy stakes that he didn't make 'em bleed. " That's the way Calico Charles preserved the Union. lltxry'm Little Lamb. Tarboro Southerner.

A Y a-hi ncrtnn disnatch stltes that the claim for $103,000 damaglS on ac count of illegal interference, witn American fishermen at a ortune uay, which Mr. Welsh, under instructions from the State Department, has pre sented to the British government, is not a claim for a restoration oi mai or any other part of the Halifax award upon the ground of non-fulfillment of treaty conditions. The award is con sidered res adjudicata, and this gov ernment has no intention of making any claim for abatement or any request for a reconsideration of the amount awarded based upon the subsequent ill-treatment of its fishermen, or the continued non-recognition of their treaty rights. The present claim is for a specific grievance, and is to be con sidered without reference to the amount of the Halifax award, with which it has nothing to do. Mr. Welsh was in structed to base the claim for $103,000 unon the actual loss and damages sus tained by American fishermen in con sequence of the violent invasion of their treaty rights at Fortune Bay, and to obtain some security against the re currence of similar offenses, in future. Advices received by the State Depart ment from the North American coast represent that although no actual vio lence has occurred this year, our fish ermen are deterred by the apprehen sion of violence from approaching the shore and carrying on their business with the freedom guaranteed to them by treaty, and that we are therefore deriving no benefit from our agreement with the British government and get ting no return for our money. The state of feeling which prevails between our north-coast fishermen and the British American fishermen, who consider themselves justified in using force to carry out local prohibitory laws, is re garded by our government as extremely dangerous and liable at any moment to lead to bloodshed and serious interna tional misunderstanding; and it is therefore very anxious that some step shall be taken by the British govern ment to do away with the local pro hibitory laws of Canadian provinces, which now practically override and nullify treaty provisions of far higher authority." The Killing of Dixon. Atlanta Constitution, 21st. Our telegrams bring the information that Captain II. M. Dixon, whose life was threatened by a mob of so-called Democrats in Yazoo county recently, has been shot to death in a difficulty growing out of the excited state of polit ical affairs in that section. It is almost impossible to comment calmly upon this wretched affair. And 3ret such a result was to have been expected. It is tbe natural and legitimate outcome of that speciesofruffianism, which, assum ing Democracy as a cloak, recently made itself manifest in the attempt to drive Captain Dixon out of the country if he refused to retire from the canvass. There are no boundary lines between ruffianism of this sort and murder. Mob rule is anarchy and anarchy breeds assassination, and all the long train of horrors that religion, and society, and civilization have been fighting against since the world begun. We have been claiming that the States are able to en force their own laws and to maintain peace within their own borders. Were we mistaken? Has ruffianism in Mis sissippi reached that point where the Governor ot the State is powerless to control it? It must be controlled, and that speedily. Are the State authorities powerful or are they powerless? We know very well that public sentiment in that State regards these ebullitions of ruffianism with unspeakable horror, but public sentiment is worthless un less it makes itself felt in the direction of peace and good order. If the Gov ernor of Mississippi feels that he is un able to cope with the political bashi bazouks that infest the State, then it is his duty either to convene the legisla ture or to call upon the government for troops to suppress the outbreaks; for it cannot be denied that the wisest, most just and easiest solution of ruffianism that has outgrown the powers of a State is the bayonet. Death of a Telegraph SNoneer. Baltimore Sun, 21st. Mr. Henry. J. Rogers died at No. 307 Myrtle avenue, at 1.25 yesterday morn ing, in the G9th year of Lis age. Mr. Rogers was connected with Profossois Morse and Henry iu the inauguration ofthe electric telegraph business, and was the first superintendent of the Bain line of telegraph from Boston to Balti more; also superintendent of the North American (now the Western Union) line, the seal of whffth was in his pos session at the time ol his death. The North American line was organized under the auspices of Messrs. Zenus Barnum, Josiah Lee, A. S. Abell and others, Mr. Barnum being the presi dent of the company. Great difficulty was encountered in getting the right of way through New Jersey. Mr. Rogers was also the superintendent of the Bankers and Brokers' line, of which Mr. Enoch Pratt was president, and which was subsequently consolidated with the Western Union. His last con nection was with the Southern and At lantic line, as general superintendent. He was the inventor and owner of Roger's commercial code of signals, which has been adopted by the Ameri can and British governments. He sub sequently disposed of part interest in this code to George. W. Blunt, former pilot commissioner at New York, and Captain Coston, of the navy. Mr. W. B. Clarke, the whig candidate for Gov ernor, opposed to E. Louis Lowe, was also associated with Mr. Rogers in the signal enterprise, the latter going to Europe twice on business connected with its adoption by the British govern ment. He leaves a widow and four sons, two living in New York, the others in Baltimore, the native- city of their father. Cyrus W. Field and the late Marshall Lefferts, former superin tendent of the Western Union Tele graph Company, were intimate ac quaintances of Mr. Rogers. A Capias Issued for George TV. Swep son. A capias was issued yesterday for George W. Swepson. A News reporter gathers the following as the facts. A motion was made early in this term, after notice given, to amend the record of the cause pending against George W. Swepson, in which it was alleged that the entry of a verdict of not guilty had been procured by fraud. Mr. Swepson was not in court when the motion was reached, and it being stated by his counsel that he would be here yester day, the motion was adjourned over till then for hearing, tho judge deeming it proper that in an indictment of that nature the defendant should be present. Yesterday the motion was called up, when it was ascertained that Mr. Swep son had returned here the day before, but had, for reasons best known to him self, again taken himself off to Ala mance. On an affidavit of these facts being filed, Judge Avera issued a capiat to the sheriffs of Wake and Alamance to take the body of the defen dant and produce him on Wednesday next at the court house in Raleigh, when the motion will be heard, with leave to the sheriff to take bail in the sum of $10,000 to secure his appearance at that time. Judge Fowle, on the part of Mr. Swepson, prayed an appeal from the order granting the capias, but Judge Avera ruled that no appeal lay. It is rumored that application will be made for a habeas corpus to the judge holding court at Alamance. For sale cheap a No. 5, Miller's Safe nearly new, combination lock with iron cash box.

The special correspondent of the News has returned, and, as he graphi cally states, "the half has not been told." The Nkws has furnished many of the main incidents, and should we undertake to describe them from each man's statement, it would fill columns of our paper. An endeavor has been made to do full justice to each and all, but the readers of the News will not fail to see that a reporter not on the ground at the time of the catastrophe cannot do justice to the subiect. The News therefore at this day, tho main incidents vhaving already been given, will state the people who so kindly threw open their door to the needy ones who bad to flee their lives from their ruined quarters. Front and foremost was Miss Sarah Davis without money and without price was her watchword; and many a lady without necessary clothing was furnished from her wardrobe. Messrs. Henry and James Davis offered their pocketbooks, clothing and rooms. William Dill done the same, and wouldn't take a cent. Messrs. Lowenburg, John Parsons, Dr. Manny, Captain Duncan and sons, Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Hall, tho Thomas family, Mr. Chad wick, and we might continue the list ad infinitum. Mr. Chadwick sentspecial invitations to all to partake of his hospitality. There were cases of hysteria among the ladies, but neither Drs. Walker, Manny or Davis would make a pro fessional charge. General Basil C. Manly, of Raleigh, was there at tho Atlantic, and he soon had, with his old military experience, everything in order. When ne made his call Captain George W. Charlotte, ofthe Beaufort Rilles, called out bis company and placed them as a guard over tho baggage, and they done their duty well. Mr. James H. Pool, of the Ocean View House is entitled to especial commendation. His house was parti ally wrecked, and yet he done all that he could to aid for the general cam fort. There are several names that might be mentioned, among which are Jim Davis, a colored man, who understood his business in the helping line, and carried it out, too. Mr. Simmons, of the ten-pin alley, stuck right there and helped the people out. But John Roberts, the express agent, performed wonders. More than ono fireside was preserved intact through his efforts. Deputy Sheriff Davis was promptly on hand and discharged tho duties de volving on him. To correct an erroneous report pub lished in certain pulpits, the News will emphatically state that there was no dancing on Sunday morning. In the first place Mr. Perry would not have Allowed such a breach of tho Sabjjath, and in the second place there were Christian people there whose ideas would have been entirely foreign to such a thing. The catastrophe was not a visitation of God, in the sense imputed. There is more to say, but time. and space precludes further remark. Beau iort is a ruin, and the loss falls far more heavily on its Inhabitants than on the visitors. The School Law. Tho Supreme Court has not yet pro mulgated its decision, though ft is un derstood that tho Judges have made up their minds regarding the new school law. As the county commissioners meet next week to complete the tax list, it is all-important that it be known whether the tax is to be computed un der the law now on the statute book or under the act under consideration by the Court of last resort. There is a dif ference of one and two-thirds cents'on property, and five cents on the poll, iu these laws; and if the Court should not make known the decision arrivod at before next week much trouble will be the result. Some counties having added this one and two-thirds cents to the county taxes, a decision in favor of the new act will necessitate a loss of this amount to the county levy and a general tearing up of tax calculators. The decision should be made 'public, we respectfully submit. Board of Aldermen. The board met pursuant to adjourn ment. Quorum present, Mayor Manly presiding. Alderman Battle offered the follow ing resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That a committee of five bo appointed to havo supervision of tho three cisterns, for wliich exoavation have already been made, and they are hereby empowered to select a plan for the same; to employ a competent archi tect to superintend tho construction, and all necessary labor; and that all building material to be furnished by the contractors shall be subject to in spection and approved by the architect. . The contract for furnishing one hun dred thousand best hard brick was awarded to Messrs, Payne Brothers at $7.49 per thousand. ' The contract for cement was awarded to T. H. Briggs A Sons at $1.90 for Rosendale, and $3.90 for Portland cement. The township assessors were author ized to employ a surveyor to run the city lino and mark the same. How to Disinfect. The following is a simple method of disinfecting sinks and vaults, the means of which are within the reach of all: Take an old oyster can or other tin box of convenient size, make two holes in the upper edge opposite each other, and through them fasten a piece of wire to form a handle. Let the wiro.be so long as to extend about a foot and a half above the can. Put a small quan tity of sulphur into tke can and on tho sulphur pour a little alcohoL . Set tho alcohol on the fi re and let the cup down into the sink by means of a string at tached to the wire. Cover up the open ings as much as possible, so as to keop the fumes of the burning sulphur within tlie sink and let it remain there till it burns out. This procoss should be repeated two or three times a week. The sulphuric acid gas generated will effectually destroy every germ oi ma- laria with which it comes in roniaci. lion il bo taken to pre vent setting the building on fire, and no one should breathe any of the fumes or gas from the sulphur.
