COTTON.

Speech of Senator Voorhees at the International Cotton Exposition, Atlanta.

A Graphic Picturetof the Future of the South

And the Prosperity That Awaits the Enterprise and Industry Expended There-

ATLANTA, GU., October 5.—The Cotton Exposition opened in the presence of thousands of people. An auspicious start was made. Senator Voorhees delivered the opening address. After a comparison of ancient and modern agriculture, Senator Voorhees Baid:

You are met at this hour to celebrate the opening day of an exposition of the iruits of agricultural labor and of the arts of mechanical invention, ta which the nations of the earth are invited, and to which many of them have made their contributions. A world's fair is here inaugurated for the interest and encouragement of human iBdustry in all sections and countries. The fraternity of toil, of enterprise and of inventive genius is here recognized and proclaimed. The character of this auspicious demonstration is international. It is an affair among the nations, and in its great purposes they are all vitally interested. The Otriects to be promoted by this exposition, its designs and its influences, are as far-reaching as the abodes of civilized men. AH the industries here make their entry and display, but, located as you are in this beautiful zone of peculinr production, you liave invitedyour guests in the name of the great anamajesticstaple of the South. This is tne borne of the cotton plant, and some of us have come from distent parts to pay it honor. In doing so, may I not be pardoned for dwelling briefly on its marvelous career of glorious utility

Sir, it is less than a hundred years since American cotton made its modest, and indeed humble entrance into the markets of the world. There are persons now living who were born before merchants and traders had mentioned cotton as a production of this country likely 1o enter, into Commercial transactions. In 1799 not more than 550 bales were exported from the United States. So little was known of this gigantic production that "it is related that in 1764 William Rathbone, au exten&ve American merchant in Liverpool, received from otto of liis correspondents in the Southern States a consignment of eight bags of cotton, which, on its arrival in Liverpool, was seized by the custom housfc officers on the allegation that it could not have been grown in the American colonies, and that it was liable to seizure under the .shipping acts as not being imported in a vessel belouging to the country of its growth. When afterward released, it lay for many months unsold in consequence of the spinners doubling whether it could "be profitably worked up." The world was unconscious of the mighty revolution in nil its industries just "then impending. Until within the present century the supply of cotton for the use of mankind was derived mainly from the "West Indies, with minor quantities from China, Egypt and a few other unreliable sources, in India its growth has been from time immemorial, and for five centuries at least before the Christian era it was manufactured extensively by the inhabitants of that country lor their own use. They appear to have made no advancement, however, either in the cultivation or the manufacture of this great vegetable product. The light of more than 2,000 years of history is thrown upon them, and by that light we behold them standing still, fixed in the primitive methods of their ignorant ancestors, .heedless of the advantages of soil, climate, and all the powerful elements of nature, making no progress themselves and contributing nothing to the wants of other countries. It is true that during the last hundred years, commencing about the year 1788, great efforts have been made by English talent end industry, through the agency of the East India Company, to increase the production of cotton in In dia, for exportation to the looms and spindles of Great Britian, and a considerable measure of success has attended these efforts. But this is the work of modern thought, an enlightened self-interest on the part of England, and in which she has been largely aided mrthealrifb which raged between brethren in this country during the last twenty jiuaia.

Mr. Voorhees at this point gave an extended description of oottdn manufacturing in the East Indies, and alee ef agriculture and manufacturing in China. He then proceeded:

Sir, it is to the West and to modern intelligence, and not to the East and the methods of antiquity, that we are to look for the selutioo or the mighty problem of human advancement aadhumaa destiny. The scene has Alfteditom the valleys of tho Euphrates, the Nile and the Ganges to the valley of the Mississippi from the shores of the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic and Pacific seaboaras of tfie American republic. Here is to be wrought out what the ancient philosophers dreamed, but never saw accomplished. Here human society and

gighest

overnment are to reach their strongest, and most rational development, bottomed on the agricultural and mechanical industries, inspired and guided by knowledge—knowledge that in Itself is power. Those great arts of labor over

which the myriad multitudes of the East have stumbled in a state of blind imbecility for countless centuries have here found their full and splendid development in a

Eingle

hour, as it were,

in

the

reckoning of time's duration. It seems but yesterday in the count of the days of all the ages, since this continent became known to written history, and a still briefer space since any of its inhabitants first became potential factors in the useful concerns of the world. We have seen that but 117 years ago English customhouse officers disbelieved in the existence of American cotton, and that it lay for months in Liverpool scorned by the buyers as worthless. Ninety years ago there was not a cotton mill In the United States. The battles of the Revoution had been fought. Cornwallis had surrendered, the old articles of the Confederation had been superseded by the constitution ol' the Union, when, in 1791, the first cotton mill was erected on American soil in the State of Rhode Island. During the next succeeding six years eleven additional mills were erected in the same state, two in Massachusetts, and one in Connecticut, making in all fifteen mills, working about 8,000 spindles and making about 300,000 pounds of yarn per annum. Substantially with this showing the cotton interests of this country passed from the close of the last century to the opening of the present. The year 1800 made ia feeble exhibit, and gave but/aint promise of what has followed. The American manufacture of cotton in that year amounted to but ,500 bales in the year 1805,1.000 bales and in 1810, 19,000 bales and in 1815, 90,000 (bales. It will be seen that the American cotton factory was indeed once an int'ani, but it was a robust child of American genius and industry, and grew rapidly. Now it stands an acknowledged giant of magnificent proportions. Now more than seven hundred and fifty mills, manufacturing annually over a million and a half of bales, are in operation, not only in New England and New York, but in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, as well, as Alabama, Georgia, the two Carolinas, Mississippi, Virginia and other Southern States.

It was discovered more than a half century ago that the cotton fields of the southern states were capable, under proper cultivation, of supplying not only-all American industres, but all the cotton industries of the civilized nations of the world. With the knowledge of this fact on the part of the South oh the one hand, and the activity and intelligent energy of manufacturing capital in this country and abroad on the other, arose those great and vital questions of American statesmanship which are still engaging the public thought. What an interesting book of history has been written on this subject. The greatest intellects in the conduct of human affairs have contributed largely to its pages. There were ihreenatural and necessary propositions to be considered in connection with the production and manufacture of cotton and they remain substantially the same at the present hour. 1. The establishment and maintenance of the manufacturing industries of the United Slates were essential to the domestic prosperity and the real independence of the American people. 2. The manufacturer claimed from his government a protection against foreign competition with which he was anable to contend, and which, if left free, would close his mills and drive him out of the business. 3. The producer of cotton in the fields desired to sell to the best bidders, and buy back the manufactured cloth at the cheapest rates quoted in the markets ot all countries.

To reconcile these great and laudable interests into a harmonious National policy has been at every stage of our history, and still continues to be, a task, worthy of the ablest minds and of the porest and highest patriotism. I cannot hope to add new light to a theme on which so much wisd

Jin

Cent

has been expend­

ed, but a few thoughts suggested by this Exposition may not be out of place. It is unfortunate lhat political partisanship has so often, for mere temporary and personal success, dealt with the gravest and most vital question of the world's advancement. The relations between the productions of the eaith as they leave the field and their condition when manufactured for the use of man, rest upon principles far above and beyond the expediency or the necessity of parties. That liae of policy which comes nearest the promotion of the prosperity and comfort of the whole people of a Commonwealth may safely br accepted as the true on. No one will contend that the absence of manufacturing pursuits would promote the prosperity of the American people. It is beyond doubt that the closer a market is brought to the fttrmer for his agricultural productions, the more he will save in the matter of transportation, and the better it will be for his neighborhood.

Mr. Voorhee nere made a fShort review ot the system of protection*both as applied in this and other countries. In New England, he said, we have seen the manufacturer, at along distance from a production base of supplies, turn a sterile country into the seat of refinement, culture and. wealth. Why shall not the south put forth its energies and reap the same and afar greater reward He pictured a bright future for the south and a prosperity unparalleled when her manu factures shall meet the demands of he productive powers. He read the repor of the census bureau for 1880 concerning tha States comprising the cotton belt, and concluded as follows:

Throughout all this vast extent of ceuntry, and proportions of certain other States "besides, the capabilities of the South for cotton-raising and for manufacturing her own productions are practically without limit There are young ined and women now listening to me who will as certainly behold a crop of twenty million bales in the future as they have teen one ot five millions in the past And they will, with the same certainty, behold the purchasers of the whole world coming here not only for their supplies ot the raw material, but also for manufactured goods in such quantities as to rule all markets, foreign and domestic. Such

is the great and puissant future which I foresee for the South, springing forward, as she now is, to grasp all improvements, the inventions, and the progres sion of the present age, and all the benefits and blessings of her government. ttir, I Come from the Northwest, and I bring to you the hail of hope, good cheer and American brotherhood from every true and manly heart in that mighty region. We, too, like yourselves, area producing people, and have derived our riches and power lroin the soil, but the time has come for us, as well as for you, to diversify our labor and give it a wider range for employment to manufacture for ourselves the necessaries and comforts of life, and to reap the advantages which arise from activity and production in all the industries. Indiana is leading is that direction with an agricultural productiveness scarcely equaled in proportion to area and population on the face of the globe. She is at the

Bame

time rapidly

developing her manufacturing resources and bringing into harmony all her industrial pursuits. In 1880 Indiana produced more wheat than all the New England States, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Texas combined more, as it will be seen, than all the Atlantic seaboard and Gulf States, with the exception of Pennsylvania, put together In the same year her corn crop was greater than that of all the Atlantic States uorth of Virginia, including Pennsylvania and all the New England States, and adding to them the crop of the great Slate of Texas. She is the seconu State lor wheat and the fourth for corn in the Union, with far less territory than any State that surpasses her. Yet the people of Indiana, with all their tremenuous capacity for agriculture are not content to ignore all the other branches of remunerative industry. They are reaching forth their hands, guided by skill and intelligence, to develop all the bounties of nature and to pluck fruits in all the fields of labor. And if in paying a tariff tax for government support, as reveuue, the? find that the laws compell ibg them to do so likewise foster, encourage and protect their young and growing manufactures of iron, hard wood, glass, woolen and cotton, they will regard them with favor, as the result of'wide legisla^ tion. Indeed, they will demand Buch an adjustment of the tariff as to insure that end. The interests of this country are rapidly becoming homogeneous, and the interests of different sections do not clash as they once did. With the exception of the question of transportation as an dutlet for the production of interior states like

own, and the consequent improveof the Mississippi river and her trioutariea aa cheap water lines to the seaboard, there is but little left to excite a struggle likely to be defined by sections. Blessed are the peacemakers between the sections, and blessed is tbat peace and community of interest and feeling which now prevail, and which are growing stronger as time goes on.

And now, sir, my duties on this occasion are drawing to a close. Soon this grand exhibition will4be declared formally open, a few mordents more, and the first World's Fair on Southern soil will begin its three months' career. All the nations will take pote of the experiment. Your brethren of the East, ot theNortn and. ot the West are looking on, hoping all things, and believing all things favorable to its success. After a little while it will take its place iu history, and from that point may anew era ot national prosperi ty be opened before the American people, and may they be inspired witti a new and lasting affection for each herot.

ALETTERFRQM MR. TILDEN.

From the New York Sun.

Samuel J. Tilden has sent to a gentleman, who asked him whether he should accept a nomination from the coming State convention, the following reply:

GRATSTOHE, October 3!

My Dear Sir—I have received your letter staling you intended to call on me, and your inability to do so.

I should have written to you earlier except for an illness, and the pressure of claims upon my attention during my convalescence.

It would have been agreeable to me to have seen you and to have treated you With that frankness and courtesy you hftve always experienced from me.

In respect to your assurance that you would not be a candidate for nomination if your nomination "would be disagreeable to me, and be discountenanced by me," I have to say that I cannot assume such a position. I have neither the right nor the wish to exclude you from a legitimate and honorable competition for any public trust. My practice, when I was at the head of die party organization, was not to become a partisan of any particular candidate, but to confine myself to such advisory suggestions as might seem fit and useful during the deliberations of the convention to defer largely to the best men of the counties formed at the convention. In view of immediate action on the complex considerations which enter into the formation of a collective ticket, I need not say that I have not undertaken any such function on the present occasion, and have not possessed myself of the information to mue me competent to such a work. I assume that you have not given credit to the idle fictions of Republican and other newspapers which ascribe to me a desire to control the nominations and canvass for the present year, with a view of becoming a candidate tor Governor next year. The truth is Iran for Governor in 1874 simply for the purpose of sustaining the reform movement to which I had given the three preceding years, and I should not have continued in the office for a second term in any possible event nor would I now entertain the idea of returning to it, even if I flattered myseli that 1 would fectiVe a unanimous vote of the people.

All I desire for the Democratic party in the coming canvass is that it shall' make the best possible choice of candidates, and do everything to advance the principles of administration 10 which I have devoted so many efforts and «acrifices. With cordial good wishes, very truly yours, S.J. TILDEN.

Doable Harder in Kansas." ELLSWORTH, Kansas, Oct., 10.—The bodies of Andrew Ware and his little son, twelve years old, who were murdered in this county September 21, were found yesterday on the farm of L. Rose. Mrs. Rose has made a contession to the effect that her husband had a grudge against Ware, and that he shot him on the day mentioned above, then killed the boy with the butt of a gun to prevent his testifying against him. Rose buried the bodies in afield near his house, plowed the field, and then fled the country. Great excitement exists among the people of the neighborhood.

Suicide in Dublin.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DUBLIN, IND Oct 9.—A man supposed by papers found on his person to be Thomas Treviilion, of Idaho Springs, CQ}., aod en route to New York, stopped at this place this morning, and about 3 o'clock this afternoon was "found in an out-house in a dying condition, with a bullet-liole in his forehead, evidently self-inflicted. Later he died. [This is undoubtedly tl.e drunken riian who was put off the train here last week and after staying in the jail over night, went on his way east.]

SENATE.

That August Body Again Convened in Extra Session.

The Senators-Elect not to Vote Until After the Election of President

After a Number of Reeolutions Voted Down Bayard is Elected President pro tem

And the 8enate Adjourns Withnnt Electing the Other Officials.

The assembng of th,ie speeial session ot tiie senate was witnessed by a larga number of persons who as eailyas 11 o'clock filled the galleries to their utmost capacity. The desk formerly occupied by Senator Burnside was tastefully draped with black while several boquets ornamented the desks ol prominent senators. The senators elect, Alderich, Lapham and Miller occupied seats upon the floor in the Republican side. The Senate was called to order by Harris, who, after prayer by Chaplain Bullock, who alluded in a feeling manner to the death of President Garfield, Senator Boraside and Secretary Bureb, said I have been requested by a number of Senators on both udes of th Chamber to call the Senate *0 order. It there be no objection I will call the Seaate to order that we may proceed with ita business. The Senate will please come to order and the clerk will report to the Senate the message of the President convening this session of the Senate.

The President's proclamation having been read, Pendleton moved, the adoption ot the following resolution: lletolved: That Thos. F. Bayard, a Senator from the State of Delaware is hereby chosen President pro tem.

SCQfttG

Edmunds said tbat of coune he did not object to the present consideration of the resolution, but he thought under existing circumrtances it was his duty to present (he cr«&ntiab ofihe Senators elect, which he thereupon did. The credentials having been read, Edmunds moved that the oath of office be administered to these gentlemen by Senator Anthony.

Senator Pendleton moved to lay the motion on the table. Carried yeas 86 nays 34. Davis, of Illinois, voted with, tho Republicans on the negative. Mahone did not vote and Piatt and Fair were paired.

Edmunds said no reason had been given why the Senators elect should cot be allowed to take part in the organization of the Senate and he therefore moved to amend Pendleton's resolution by providing for the immediate qualification of the Senators elect, the oath of office to -be administered by Senator Anthony.

The amendment offered by Edmunds to Pendleton's resolution gave rise to considerable discussion but was finally rejected, yeas, 33 nays," 34, Mahone and Davis of Illinois voting with the Republicans. Edmunds then proposed an amendment providing that Thos. T. Bayard shall be elected presiding officer for this day only and argued in support of his amendment, contending that it would comply with both the letter and spirit of the law and would allow the states of New York and Rhode Island to have a voice in the election of a permanent president pro tem. The amendment is still under discussion, Morgan a present having the floor.

A yea and nay vote on Edmunds amendment resulted in its defeat, 33 to 34. Edmunds then offered another amendment,substituting the name of Senator Anthony for tbat of Senator Bayard as president pro tem. A vote was at once taken and amendment defeated, yeas 32 nays 34. Mahone voted with the Repub licans, Senator David Davis did not vote*

Seoiuor Beck referred to the action the Democratic President of the Senate after Fillmore acceded to the President of the United States.

Edmunds inquired if the Senators of the two states were denied a voice in that election.

Beck said they were not, nor had a Vice-President refused to give the Senate the opportunity to elect a President nor had two Senators enacted a comic tragedy by resigning. This reference to Conkling and Piatt elicited a shout of "applause" from the galleries which shocked the decorum of the Senate. Chairman Harris gave notice that for another similar demonstratien he would have galleries cleared.

The original resolution introduced bjr Pendleton was then adopted by 84 to 3f. Davis, of Illinois, did not vote. Ma hene voted with the Republicans. The chair then appointed Senators Anthony and Pendleton to escort President protein pore elect Bayard, to the chair.

ASSEMBLED.

Edmunds moved to admit Senator elect from Rhode Island, Alderich and Pendleton moved toadiourn. Pendleton's motion prevailed. Adjourned.

BAYARD'Sa KM

ARKS:

Bayard on being installed as President of the Senate retcrned thanks and invoked the consideration and co-operation of the Senators. He referred to the sad circumstance which caused the call of the Senate and said the grief which penetrates everyfhouseheltLin the land should soften party asperities in the Senate and lead to harmonious action.

THAT jaw bone on the bulletin board in front ot the Western Union telegraph office is said to be Charley Ray's and not Balaam's as first announced.

NEW YORK, Oct 10.—Two hundred men and women were at work this morning in Carl Upman's cigar manufactory, 512 and 514 east Seventeenth street, when a cry of fire rang through the house. The factory ioimsthe west end of a huge fiveBtory brick building that embraces Nos. 512 to 5ff) and in the east half of which a curled hair manufactory is carried on by Mollen ft Co. The cry of fire came from the engine room on the ground floor. In a minute, almost before the terrified workmen in the upper floors could recover from the first fright, the ttamea leaped upward and spread with frightful rapidity, through every story. A scene of frantic excitement and terror followed. Women shrieked and fell fainting at their benches and the men ran wildly about. The majority of the men were on the second and'third floors and the packera, nearly all young girls, were on the fourth and fifth. These latter made a rush for the flre escape but found their exit this way was cut off by the flsmes. No chanee was offered them for escape by the stairway but eventually they all got out by a scuttle on the roof of the hair factory, the last one reaching the latter just as the flames rose above the roof of the doomed builiing. The workmen on the lower floors were marshalled with no little difficulty and led Sown the stairs to the street by their superintendent, force being required to pceeent disaster. Hsd the stairs bp any accident become blocked or the steady ontflow of workmen been interrupted, fearful loss of life must have occurred.

OBITUARY. *0. -jl. ELIZA M. FLANNIOAN.'

A wido circle of acquaintances and friends will be pained to learn of the death at one o'clock this afternoon of Miss Eliza M. Flannigan. She has been sick some time with typhoid fever and to its ravages her naturally strong constitution at last succumbed. The deceased was a woman of great force of character an energetic worker in every good cause which commended |it»clf to her reason and enlisted her sympathies. She had a mind of masculine strength and courage, both physical and moral, of a hereoine. At the time Memphis was under the shadow of its neat misfortune with yellow fever Miss Flannigan went from here to the stricken city and ministered to the wants of the sick and dying, animated by a Christian charity worthy of the Matter. Here in Terre Haute she attained prominence as a worker in the temperance cause and, however much anybody might have differed with her in opinion, no one could doubt her sincerity or help admiring the unselfish enthusiasm wiHi which she labored in a movement whUh to her was sacred.

Of an ardent temperament, whatever she undertook she pursued with a will. Her impulses were good and in her death aa active worker in all good causes, has gone her reward. mmnucH GUXDERSOK.
