18 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1874. THE SOUTH. Kellogg Again in Full Posses- sion at New Orleans, Stronz Influences at Work to Induce Him to Resign. The Conference of Political Leaders Thus Far Results in Nothing, Warning to Kellogg Officers in Frank- finand Richland Parishes. Address of the Tennesseco Demo- cratic Executive Committee. Determined Opposition to the Civi Rights Bill. LOUISIANA. Special Dispatch to The Chicaco Tribune. KELLOGG HIMSELF AGAIN. NEw Onceass, La., Scpt.19.—In accordance with the executivo order of Gov. Kellogg, the 2ld State oflicers took quiet possession of the State-liouso this morning. Gen. Longstreet zud stafl left the Custom-House on foot previous to the derarture of Kellogg, and, on tho road, attrocted no little attention, but notbing of a serious nature occurred. Loagstreet was in couversation with Gen. Brooke when Keilogg ar- sived accompamed by his private eecretary. Gen. Brooke then formally turned over the Cap- itol to the Governor, who immediately assumed the Gubernatorial chair. Gen. Brooke then re- tircd from the building. Shortly after Gov. Kel- Icgg entered a closo carnage and was driven back to tho Custom-House, where tho Confer- eoce Committeo was in eession. White these eveuts were transpiring at the State-ITouee, Gen. George Baldy, Vice-President of the Board of Metropoiitan Police, procesded to the polico station at tho head of about 200 yolice, and the building was quietly surresdered by Acting-Chief Boylan,a nd the Metropolitans were soon placed oo their old beats. Gov. Kel- logg advised that the ranks of tho Metropoli- {ans be filled from the retiring forco of Chief Boylap. WITH REGARD TO THE CONFLRENCE going on at the Custom-House, much difference of opinion exists. Very little is known of the principal features of the propositions under con- sideration, the city papers not having been able to obtain a8 much information in regard to it as bas been pubhsked in Toe TRIBNE. It is gen- eraliy understood that the White Leaguers or- ganization will have nothing to do with the com- promise. Gen. Fred. N. Ogden, their Grand Commander, whom tley are wiiling to follow to the end of the earth, denounces the movement. Atty.-Gen. Ogden and R. H. Marr sre also rtrongly opposed to it Dr. J. G. Bruns publishes » long lefter scouting the idea. The Bulietin, in o stroug editorial this ovéving takes the same ground. On tho Republican side, the oppositionis equally strong. Mauy leaders of the pariv eay it 15 unposeible, &ud the Republican gays Kellogg bas no right to recign and compromise the party. There can be no doubt, however, thet thoso engaged in the couference are men of influcuce in their parties, Xellogg, McEnery, and Penn were present at tho sittings, with Voorhies, Jonas, Chapm. Liesrd, sud many other cminent supporters of tho late revolution. On the Republican side, Marshall Packard, Superintendent of Lducation Brown, ex-Gov. Flanders, Joubest, and many members of the State Central Committee, are participants in the negotiations. ‘The most violent mea on Dboth mdes are gong to opposo o settlement, while the more liberal-minded will favor a com- promize. LATER—NO COMPROMISE EFFECTED, The Costom-Houre Couferenco adjourned at 10 o'clock to-night, withous arriving at_any con- clusion. I wasinformed that all the Republic- 2ny had withdrawn, except Judge Atocha, Mar- shall Packard, and O. C. Blandio, a colored man. At all eveats, no other Hepublicans were present to-night. They meet again tormorrow. The subject about which thero is the most dispute is gbe registration of voters. The McEuery peopls want the State Registrar snd all the Parish Reg- istrars. This the liepublicans will 1 x ayree to. A Republican said to-night : * We m.ghit a8 well give them the election.” After the confer- ence took piaco on Thursday night, tho particalars of which I gave you, the Liberals had 2 meeticg zod agreed that the point most to be desired was amuesty for those engaged in the revolution ; that attained, and Kellogg and Antoine's abdication secured, they wero willing to give the Republicans aimost eversthing.

Kellogg, ass- ug the Governor to use his influence in sccarine tho election to the State Senato of a very objectionable carpet-bagger, whose venality is notorious, while this same gentleman was pre- tendiig to be in active support of one of his own party for the same position.

This will very likely lead to a duel. MANY OTHER LITTLE THINGS of this kind have come to Light in this way, and the number of people who Lave vach other by the ears is astonirbig. To-pight Gen. Baldy and otber members of the Police Loard sent their resignations to Gov. Hellogg, in_conscquenca of Buylaa being derig- nated toassist them. There is & row in the Ke- publican camp on this account. [To the Assrciated Press.] KELLOGG AT THE STATE-IOUSE. NEw OnLesNs, La., Seut. 19.—Gov.

VIEWS OF A SOUTHERN MAN. Correspondence of The Chicago T'ribune. DenasT, Miss,, Sept. 9, 1974, It appears to be very ditlicult for ove not born in the South tolearn to understand the feelings of thopeople; and your correspondent in New Orleans, sithough evidently on the right side, cannot give you a correct impression. New Or- leans docs not represent the Sinte of Louisians in sentiment. Like il large cities, she has a great number of men who live by pullic pap, and the city vote has been so large ss to give those controlliug it much greater intluence in the elections than was due exher to their eapacity or honesty. The citizens of New Orleans do not fecl the coutact of the negro as do thove who reside 1 the parishes; nor bave they, in conso- quenco, any personal element engaged in their political contests. In the compsctls-Luilt city, with ita largo white majority, thereisa feeling of personal security unkuown in the negro parishes; and the reason for such n difference is clear, althongh it may not appesr so self-evident to tho Nortbern mind. The phyeical conformation of the State of Louisiana, where the plantations are strung out on the streams, and it is rare to tind bouscs nearer to each other than from I {o 5 miles, bas placed every planter's family in a0 iwolated conditicn,—surrounded by his laborers, and out of the hearing of s neighbors. The feelng that an_attempt by the negroes, whilo in the end it would certainly prove disastrons to them, would meantime re- suit in the destruction of all these isolated families of wowen and children, certainly does not tend to calm one's merves, aud euable him to discuss with calmness, or perhaps even with justico, the issucs of the day. “That the negro looks upon the advent of troops a8 gent for his expecial behoof, and to evable bim to commit all sorts of crimes, is proved by hie conduct in every such caso. While I do not for a moment approve the con- duct of (hoso engnged in the lute messacres, still I believe buman nature is the same every- whero, and that one can hardly sy what ho vould do untess placed in exacily the same cir- cumataneus. 0 Tuat a collision between the races is inevita- ble, 1 beliovo to be the conviction of every think- ing man in the South; but it can only oceur by being fostered ana precipitated by the carpot- baggers and sealawage. Let us hope that, when it does occur. the casunities may, as at Coushat- ta, be coniined to them. The cry which rings through the North, of {"rown tion of Nortuern meu, ig absurd, a8 you ave already ehown. My acquaintance with the lezding politicians in this State and Louisiana is very exteusive,and I hiave aiwas noticed that the noisiest and most bitier Secessionists come from the Far North, avd they are still fighting, a5 cver, by word of mouth. That ail the troatlen the 'South could be very casily and speedily quieted by ourscives, is oir firm conviction. Do you not think that, after the disastrous failure of the last ten yoms, it uught be as weil to pive us ncnznco? BMatters could certainly not be made any worse; and, on the .principle that everyman koows his own business best, wo might succeed. RENTIER. VIEWS OF A NORTHERN AN RESIDENT IN LOUISIANA.

Another cors poration was formed, with a capital of $100,000, styled the Grawto Mi'ls. (The first mill erected by this Compauy is the oze in which the disaster occurred to-day,) This likewise weat along on the food-tide of fortune. Its bistory wasalmost s repetition of that of the Union. It declared large dividends; reserved a surplus-fuod ; built atccond mill, and pat in the foundation for a third, which will eoon be erected. The stock in the Granite is now worth some £5,000 a share,— five times tho origmal investment. In rapid succession to these projects foilowed others. Boiween 1860 and 1870, seven larize manufactories sprang into existence; ana s comparison of the statistics of the latter year with those of the former shows that, in the ten years that bad elapsed since thoe building of the Uaton Jill, the population of the city had doubled, the capitsl invested 1n cotton-manufac- turing had become three times as great, and the number of spindles running was about four-fold. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. Since 1870, Lowever, stiil more surprising de- velopents bave occwred. It might be sup- posed tuat the capital of the people would have been drawed, tneir energics exhausted, their ambition satisfied. Butsnch wasnot the cave. Ou the contrary, they were incited to greater endeav- or,—szimulated to further achisvowment. The en- terprise of the aity, sinco the laiter date, has been more taan remarkatle; fora New-England town, it seers almost wonderful. This is shown by the fact that, within five yeors, sixteen new corporations have been formed, nnd nimeteen new mills erecied. So that the number of cor- po:ations now engaged in cotton-wanufacturing is thirty-four, ownrag forty-four mills. baving 8n incorpotated capital of $14,870,000,—but an actual wuvestment of some 25,000.000,—and runniug an aggrezate of 29,521 1. oms and 1,269~ 783 spindles. Thero aro emploved in this busi- ness over 15,000 opetatives ; there are consumed annually 133,000 bales of cotton: and there is paid out monthly for wages $500,000, The pop- ulstion this spring, by census just taken, is sorae 44,000, BIGNTFICANT STATISTICS. In connecti>n with this the following sta- tistics, comynled from tho latest authentic sources, will be of interest: Tho total number of cotton-spindles in the United States is 7,132,415, of which 5,503,303 are in New England. ' A cownaricon shows, therefore, that this town has over une-sixth of all the scindles 1n the country, and nearly one-balf of all those in the New-England States. The cot- ton-crop of the United States for 1873 (which was considerably moro than tho average crop) was 3,930,508 bales. Of these, 2,679,996 bales were exported, and 1,201,127 7 bales used at home. The amount of cotton manufactured here last vear was, therefore, within a fow bales of one- pinth of the total amount consumed in the country, and_oune-thirtieth of the entire crop raized in the United States. These figures ara more emphatic than worde,—bearing, as they do, tho strongest testimony to the immense business of the place. HOME-CAPITAL. Of the extensive capital invested in these mills, fully nice-tenths is owned by residents of the city. Some of the corporations, itis true, are in the bauds of a few individuals, but most of them count their stockboldera bv the hun- dred,—almest every person of means being inter- ested in mull-stock. In 1358, the Legislature passed a lav fixing tho par-valuo of shares in in- corporated bodies at $100. Vroetber this wasn judicions enactment from agouerel point of View, is un open question. It has worked well hera, bowever,: ing, as it has, 2 opportunity to the poorer classes, even to the operative himself, toparticipate in the varions enterprises. This has been exiensively availed of ; and those who havo but n hundred or a few hundred dollars zre uvited with men of moderaie means, and with the wealthy, 1n o common interest. " Many of the betier class of operatives are owpers in tho mills iu which they ate employed, and often have a voice in ther management. There is, more- over, a great field for tuo operative to advauce in his vocation ; tho equipping force of & new mili—such as Superinteudent, Overseers, and upper bauds—being Dot iufrequently taken from o lower position elsewhere. And such is the demaud for ekitled labor that the loweat operativo bas the opportunits, if ho o the ability, to better his condition. At the pree- ent time, a mill entirciy ou tne co-overative plan is in conrse of construction. ln this no person cax: OWD OVer & certain number of shares (tbirty, I believe) ; a stated part of the capital may remain uopaid, to be worked out ; and a given pereentage of the earnings is to be di- vided among the operatives. EXTIAORDINARY GROWTH. So rapid bas been its growth, that, within a veory few years, the city has put on cntirely new aspects and conditions. At the outset, tae cor- vorations were conlrouted by a serions question : How should their Lelp be provided with dwell- ing-sccommodations? Bat this was at ouce solved. Each company undertook the build~ ing of tenements for its own handa; conse- quentiy the erection of every mill was accom- ?nnied by that of nnmerons blocks and houses. The pumber of operatives employed in a eingle mannfactory ranges from 200 to 1,000, according to ite gize, In order to proviue babitations for ther, therefore, new etreets Lad to be opened, and building-lots arranged, 8o that, whero once weie rough fields or thick woods, ore now clus- tored long rows of houses, These oficn forma good-sized village, with stores, school hoase, and church ; such viilages extending in different di- 1ections far beyoud the himits of the old town. 2 REAL ESTATE has, in consequence, greatiy increased jn value,— proper:y formerly considered of little worth hay- iug been brouubtinto tho maret and sold for laxge prices. Numerous instances wght be cited whero persous who bappened to own land con- tiguous to some null-site have disposed of it to gteat advantaze. Some fii.ecn yeals 820, & man bought fora few hundied dollars a =mail farm on ihe ontslurts. Here bo grazed several cows, gainingn hamble subsistence by seiling milk. Within a year or tw2, he bas realized from tho eate of his place the enug amount of $40,000. In aonther port of town, o gentleman, not more thavgseven vearasince, purchascd an estate for as many thousand dollars. Less than two years ao, ho sold it to s corporation for about $90,000. Abrick block on oncof the principal strects, which, same ten years past, with difficults fouad o pur- chaser at 230,000,—most of the purchase-money remaining 03 morigage,—1s worth to-day fuily four times that amount. In many cases, the heirs of men who dicd almost, if not abeolutety, insolvent, have becomo very wealthy. ‘To-day, the children of one of those mew aro building & magnificent business-block, to cost $400,000 ; al:hough, at his death, it wes an open queetion with Lus administrator whether the ¢ could ucet its habilitice. AMany other mnstances could be given where the rise 1a real estate has bronght wealth to its proprictors. A good deal of money, 100, bas been acquired from the earpings of tlio mlls, and the advauco jn the velue of their stock, by pe:sous who not loug ago were com- raratively poor. OTHER MANTFACTURES.

Its main building, which presents a fino architectural appearance, is 466 feet long, €0 fec: wide, and is flanked by four wings, varyiog from 100 to 150 feet in length. = Thero are also iron-worke, employing 60 hands in the mana- faczure of batls, rods, Loors, and castings.—conw suwing thereby eome 40 tons of iroa a div. De- e1des these, there is & woolen-mill, a bleachers, several thread-mills. and an extensive establishe meat for the manufactara of cotton-machinery. to say nothing of tse many smaller mechavical mdustrics thal have followed in the train of tho greater. 3 THE MILLS AND THE OPERATIVES. Tho mills are wos:ly large, substantial strac- tares, of brici or zran:te, four or five stories in height. Many of them poysess much arcaizec- tural merit, Lava Mansard roofs, and are re- lieved by a tower muuning from the founcation in front high above, connccting with each floor, and surmounted by a clock. Counsiderablo precaution Las been taken against fire, though to-day’s tragedy demonetrates its inef- fectiveness. From the outside, steam-pipes conneet wiih each story, with the view of epeed- ily forcing szeam into any part of the bwidinz ; and there are iron ladders from doma to ground, to afford oppor:unity of eecape. The granita used in the construction is found entirely in this vicinity. Immouse quantizies of the materinl urderlie the soil, and there are now several quar- ries in active operation, which, besides furnish- ing stone for Lomo use, send large supplies to various parts of the couatry. The historic waila of Fort Sumter, and the grim outlines of Fort Adazs, at Newport, are of Fall Liver granite, Of tho more than 15,000 operatives who find employment bere, by far the larger number are Irich. ‘1here are aleo many Englich, and a fair eorinkling of otber nationalitics.
