J. B. DAKrOBTH, tJL-, EDITOR. Wednesday Xig, November 6, 1867. VERDICT OH BICOKSTBTTCTIOH.

It may safely be set down, now, that the free people of the United States have come to the conclusion to put down and eet aside the monstrous iniquity enacted hy a radical congress, in regard to a military despotism in the south, and the wicked and revengful scheme of reconstruction. Alter the 39th congress passed a Tecoa-struction bill, permitting the south to return to the Union with or without negro suffrage; leaving it optional with every state whether to adopt or reject it, and if adopted giving them more members of congress, and if re jected less members, the people everywhere seemed pretty well satisfied. The elections, after the passing of that plan, went almost unanimously republican, everywhere. But, after these elections, the same congress, at its last session, taking the result of the elections as evidence that the republican party could not be to impose new terms. They enacted a military despotism over the south, forcing negro suffrage on the people, allowed all the negroes to vote and disfranchised nearly all the white people.

This shameful and oppressive plan of reconstruction was so repulsive to every principle -of free government, and gave each evidence of a determination to establish a cen tralized system of government, which would, in the end, destroy the power and rights of all the statea, that the people turned from it with horror. It was passed iu February, and the election in New Hampshire, the very next month, showed that the people were turning from the radicals with disgust, and looking to the democratic party, to restore the government to constitutional principles. The next month Connecticut repu- diated the radical party, Then followed the elections in Kentucky, California, Maine, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, New York, New "Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Kansas. Connecticut, California, Kentucky, Pensylvania, New York, Ohio, and New Jersey wheeled into the democratic column, and the gains in the other states show that New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Minnesota will certainly do so, next time, and possibly all the rest. The radical party has already been rcpu diated by the people.

Their reconstruction scheme has been're pndiated. Their impeachment scheme has been re pudiated. Their exemption of bonds from taxation has been repudiated. Their Maine-law has been repudiated. Their high tariff schemes have been repudiated.

Their corrnptions and rascalities have been rebuked. Their negro suffrage and women suffrage schemes have been repudiated. It is impossible for radicalism to save itself. The people have determined to bury it with all its monstrous corruption, at the next presidential election, call the democratic party again to power, and restore peace, prosperity, economy and honesty to the government of the country. still more substantial applause of commence, in the shape of heavy orders from Springfield, Chicago, St.

Paul, and all the intervening country. They have been called upon to make an effort to extend their trade in this line, but their productions have toade their way by intrinsic value alone, and their field appears to be constantly widening. bo short a met with such encouragement, the proprietors intend to donble present facilities next spring. Being now obli to have their stock dyed in the east, they will also add to their factory, dye house and spinnery. Thus in dm time, will be built up in our midst, a eful enterprise of good proportions, beneficial to its projectors, and tbe utility and hope in a minority.

We will not Villipend whera ROCK TlAin PAPER MILL A few go called at the Rock Island Paper Mills, situated some distance this side of the distillery, and by the kindness of the proprietors, were shown through the establishment, and somewhat enlightened as to its capacity and business.

This mill has been in operation for about three years. It was formerly nsed as a saw mill by J. W. Vansant, but in 1864 was sold to Smith Cole who took out the machinery, and replaced it with that of the present establish ment. They then commenced the manufac ture of brown wrapping paper, so extensively used in the mercantial line.

Having car ried on business for a year, they disposed of the concern to Hakes Oliver. About four thousand dollars were then expended in im proving the premises, and adding to the ma chinery, which resulted in an increase of business, and the manufacture of a more satisfactory quality of paper. It seems how ever, that during all this time the mill had not been paying any very extravagant divi dends and was a very difficult ball to set properly rolling. Hakes Guyer having persevered for about a year, sold oat to Hntchins Curtis, which firm existed but a nra mnnot praise. We win not mob where we cannot argue.

We will not teach forbearance to the south while forgetting it to our neighbors. We will try to be as christian in the fnture as in the past. In one sense, is quite pleasant to be in a minority." 'io nnot only escape responsi bilities and troubles, but you will escape the cry of the vnltures and the jackals who follow the live lion till he drops. You will find minority a healthv state. No party ever needed it more.

If any one imagines that the manufacturing enterprise of Rock Island is on the stand still, he has but to look about him, and be convinced of his error. The right kind of spirit seems to be animating our capitalists in every branch of business, and a solid, en during basis is being laid for the future prosperity of our city. The enterprising mer cantile firm of Block Newburger, has just set in motion a project which is well worthy of mentioD.

We refer to their carpet and coverlet factory, now occupying the second and third stories of what was formerly the Masonic Hall block, on Illinois street. It is a fact in which our citizens should take no little pride, that west of Philadelphia, Bock Island is the only city which can boast of an establishment of this kind. Block New-burger, having always made the sale of carpeting something of a speciality, last spring bethought of manufacturing their own stock in this line. The idea was rather an origin al one, and suggested many of which was, the scarcity or rather entire absence of operatives. Not deterred, however, they commenced their preparations in March last, and ordered from Philadelphia, six Jaquard looms for the manufacture oi Coverlets, four of the same looms for the man ntacture ot ingrain carpets and two for the manufacture of cottage carpets.

The frame works for these were constructed by Gray, Cropper of this city, in a fine, substantial manner. But little time was consumed in putting this machinery together, and on the arrival of the operatives, who were secured in Philadelphia, business was commenced. The room occupied by the looms embraces the third story of the building, and is about fifty by sixty feet in size. Peter Kreamer was appointed superintendent, having many years of valuable experience to fit him for that position. The number of hands now employed is twenty, at an expense of about ten thousand dollars per year.

The rooms of the Becond story are principally occupied for the storage of yarns, warps, etc. While the present establishment must be considered only in the light of a commencement, the amount of its manufactures may be set down as follows Ingrain carpets, 1160 yards per month cot tage carpets, 800 yards and 580 coverlets per month. Very particular attention is paid in getting up new stiles, as they stamp their own paterns. The proprietors aim to keep up with the times, and to produce as meritorious articles as can be found in any mercantile establishment in the west. They are turning out two classes of ingrain carpets one, all wool, and the other wool figured.

Their cottage carpets are indeed a novelty, and being retailed at snch very low figures, must attain an extensive sale. In the line of listing carpets, they will soon commence the manufacture of an article which commends itself to the trade generally. Their articles have already attracted marked attention. At the Bock Island and Scot county fairs they carried the first premiums, and at the Illinois state fair, held at Quincy in September last, they were awarded two silver medals. While these honors are gratifying, they have also received the vious owners, and was by them retained on- till a year ago last May, when the present proprietors, Messrs Rice, Brightmau See ley, purchased the establishment and contin ued the business.

This firm has succeeded admirably, and has built np an extensive trade with all the river towns as far down as, and including, St. Louis, and with all the interi or towns of Iowa and Illinois lying contig uous to this section. Two teams are kept constantly on the road, supplying old cus tomers, and hunting out new ones, while large amounts are being regularly shipped by rail and river, in every direction. Traveling agents keep a proper pressure on the business, and ensure its steady increase. In connection with the mill, Hakes Son are now carrying on a paper store in Union Block with a heavy stock always on hand, thereby oovinir the citv and other local trade.

The manner In which this paper trade has grown np within the last year or two, furnishes the assurance that when home articles of manufacture are of a quality to compete with those produced abroad, they will eventually win their way and supplant all competition. The dimen sions of the mill are TO by 100 feet, with a warehouse of the same height adjoining, 40 by 75 feet The latter is kept as full of stock as the exigencies of trade will allow, in order that all unexpected demands may be promptly met. The machinery is of the best quality of its kind, and is propelled by two steam engines and furnished with a steam pump of heavy capacity. It total value is over ten thousand dollars. The process of manufacturing is very ingenious, bnt space prevents ns from attempting any description.

To see a pile of old rags and straw cast into a tank of muddy water at one end the building, and em erge at the other in the shape of neatly rolled packages of brown wrapping paper, is sumcient at first to puzzle even the most philosophic scribe. The machinery is re quired to be of the most perfect and delicate proportions, as the slightest variation from the fixed standard wonld result in great damage. Constant supervision is also nec essary to see that it progresses properly. At present the mill is running but twelve hours a day, and employing about fourteen hands on an average, at a cost of nine thou sand dollars a year for labor. About forty tons of 6traw are now consumed per month, and about twenty tons of paper manufac tured.

Specimens of the latter took the first premium at the lost county fair, On the first floor of the mill, and making use of the same steam, Messrs Heath Kirkpatrick have a large power press in constant motion, printing mercantile labels, to order, on wrapping' paper. Mr. Kirkpat rick learned the printing business at the argus omce, served iaitntuiiy as a soldier .1 1 Tl 1 T-k i in the oetn Illinois negiment, was last epring elected township clerk, and is a pop ular and energetic young man, and has business associate of the same stamp. They fully deserve the liberal patronage they are receiving. They commenced business only three months ago, but are now crowded to the utmost to meet orders.

Mr. Heath pass es the greater portion of his time in solicit 'ng orders from abroad, and by this means has enlarged his circle of patrons over an are of two hundred miles in extent. They are turning out over one hundred thousand sheets per week, and are doing better printing of the kind than has yet been done any where in this section. At present, the Rock Island Paper Mill may be considered in its infancy. It is true it represents a not inconsiderable investment of money, but this is but a trifle to what will ultimately be invested there.

Its proprietors have reached the top of that hill up which ev ery home manufacturer must travel at the outset, and, with a flourishing business and flattering prospects ahead, will not long hes itate to adopt such measures as business sa gacity may direct, you for a time, to inhale the incense and hear the applause ot the pit, it may oe as a warning not to draw your politics from hate and malice, which do not come from above, but follow us in the benignant teachings of good-will to all.

We have no reliable information concerning the affairs of the road that we are permitted make public, therefore what we do say must not be considered as anything authorized by Judge Thompson's private letters.

Yet we are aware that Col. W. B. Sweet hastened home from New York last week to attend a meeting of the directors of the American Centeral, held in New Boston on the 31st ult. We are aware also, that the directors thus met to confer npon Judge Thompson additional authority for his assistance in pen- ing negotiations, i he promptness ot the action by the directors in this matter, indi cates importance is attached to the latest spatches from the president.

Sweet stated to several of our citizens that upon receiving the report of the action of the directors on the 21st Judge Thompson would be enabled to at once complete sucessful arrangements for the building of the railroad. The Aledo Record, alluding to the same subject, says "President Thompson is still in Europe- The London firm from whom Bellot Co. contracted to borrow $11,000,000, it is understood, backed out at the last hour, and the arrangement failed. A letter from Presi dent 1 hompson, received last week, states that he is selling bonds of the road.

-The English minister and embassy, here, have requested King Victor Emanuel to treat Garibaldi len iently. It is said that there will be no collision between the French and Italian forces. Italy is quiet. There are rumors afloat here to the effect that Garibaldi's mind is attected. The New York Herald's Cable special gives a detailed account of Garibaldis defeat and capture.

He was surprised by 7 batallions of the Papal army, supported by 12 guns, who attacked him in front and on both flanks. Garibaldi's force, numbering about 3,000, fought one hour and then retreated towards Monte Rondo. There they made another stand, and for over two hours the fight was continued, when Garibaldi's retreat became an utter rout. Garibaldi had to be dragged away from the field of battle It is believed he lost 900 men killed and 100 taken prisoners. The loss of the Papal force was not so heavy.

Menalti Garibaldi was slightly wounded in the leg. When Garibaldi left for Florence he made no parting and looked old, haggard and disappointed. The revolutionary movement is broken down all over ihe territory. There were no French troops engaged except a few who went into the fight as volunteers. 1'akis.
