RADICALISM.
It baa been, for Several- yean past, the
Radical cry throughout tho South, that
Democracy is dead, that the issues which
gave it vitality were crushed out by the
war. Though we by no means assent to
'any such statement, it is not our purpose
; to discuss the truth or falsity of the prop
osition: but it is a question which we would
propound to our readers; viz: are not the
-I''proceedings of'the dominant party south
? equally opposed to-principle of any sort
?"f Wether "democratioor republican ? We
'think'there can be no doubt to any look
er on, that in all the Southern States He
- publicanism is a dead cook in the pit, and
that under tho name of Republicans, and
under cover of Republican bayonets and
a Republieauizcd Constitution, the carpet
? bag politicians nnd renegade Southerners
who have been spewed into prominence by
?the submersion of our liberty, in the tide
of civil war, carry on a high game of the
! inoet infernal robbery that an over-pow
ered people wa= over compelled to undergo.
''< This robbery is not confined to the leg
islative hall, where God knows it is bad
enough; but penetrates to the lowest me
nials in tho petty offices scattered through
out the by-ways and cross-roads, over the
length and breadth of our most unfortu
-?? nateState. -The Trial Justices swindle by
??Overcharge; tbe Deputy Treasurers steal;
' . the County Commissioners embezzle; the
candidates for office bribe and stuff boxes;
? - the Commissioners of Election make false
. ?eturns; the Senators take bribes, nnd even
tlie officers of the Judiciary are not above
suspicion.
This, mark you, cannot be called a par
tisan picture. It is but a recapitulation
of what they say of each other. The lad
der of eminence is openly Surmounted by
descent into felony, and the scene of rival
ry is changed from the field of honor and
integritv to one of successful theft aud
barefaced venalism and perjury. Conscious
of their deliberate self-debasement, they
blush not, but flaunt it in the face of hon.
est poverty with boastful impudence: and
this not only in Columbia, but nearly ev
ery county-seat is afflicted with some vel
veted, brass-ringed, green-jewelled, self
important thief and liar?boastful adhe
rent ot the dominant politics of the day,
Radicalism, the insolent, full blood
1 ' Whelp of puritanical republicanism!
Surely, the day cannot be far off when
civilization for self-preservation, will rally
and reestablish law for virtue's sake, and
tighten the rope of justice around the
necks of these reprobates.
fifalta In Parvo.
The late season this spring together
with the heavy and continuous fall of
raiu has put,back, the farmers very much
behind their usual March work.
The merchants have, of course felt the
- consequence and tho streets of our town
have not, for sorao time, looked as lively
as we would have them. Tho town it
self however shows considerable vitality.
We hear of new buildings in contempla
tion and others are going up, bsth dwell
ings and stores; and Orangeburg with its
present energy promises to rank second
to none of our inland towns, Such it
ought to be both on account of the large
and fertile county of which she is the
chiof market; and on account of its situa
tion whioh is healthy, and convenient to
both the upper and lower sections of the
Stajte
AU that keeps us back is the fact that the
legislation is carried on by a party who
.enact., laws witb no view to the future
i\prosperity of the State or community;
having only in mind tho raising tho
.greatest .amount of ready money forth?
satisfaction of office holdots aed tbo id-'

Nevertheless, the poople seen! to have
como to regard these ovils rls rt curse
from God, forQod only knows what; and
casting aside all care for the political
future, they seem to have entered tho
race for individual success. A fortnight's
dry and warm weather is of vital import-;
auce to tho farmers?and upon this de
pends much of the material success of
tho county this year and that cf our
town. Among other things we would
like to see a plank road along the whole
main street of'the town,- instead of the
clay bogs thpt we have, every time It rains
?a market and a public hall. ' This
brings us to the performance of a duty
on our part, which we have sadly neglect
ed; that of directing the attention of our
readers to our list of advertisers, for
whose capacity to perform what they say
they can do wo vouch. Give them u
call and wo assure you satisfaction.
OUB ADVERTISERS ARE :
James H. Fowles?who advertises a
safo and "saving" institution, endorsed
by Bound men of the community.
Messrs. Bull, Scovill und Pike, who
"have and do sell general merchandize."
Mr. W. T. Muller, a sound German
grocer.
Messrs. W. M. Sain & Go., "dealers in
groceries/' horses and mules.
Dr. E. J. Oliveros, the leading apoth
ecary of the town.
Mr. J. P. Hurley, who keeps dry goods
and groceries which he invites you to
buy "cheap for cash and save your mon
ey."
Capt. John A. Hamilton, who offers
groceries and phosphates "at all timts
and prices to please all"?also "house
furnishing material at shortest notice."
Mr. Qcorge S. Shirer offers liquors for
which we can vouch and groceries to
suit orders.
Mr. Kirk Robinson offers Books and
Stationery of all kinds.
Meronoy's hotel we can recommend
from personal experience.
Dr. T. Berwick Legare offers his ser
vicos as a dentist and affords satisfaction
to all visitors.
Drs. Fersner & Dantzlor also claim,
upon tho merits of old resident practice,
and obtain a good share of public pa
tronage.
Our other professional cards speak for
themselves, and are those of the legal pro
fession: viz,
j Mr. W. J. DeTrcvillo, Messrs Izlar &
Dibble, Messrs Browning & Browning.
It is an important part of their busi
ness to bo courteous and agreable to all
and exert all their undeniable talent to
cany that side of tho causo which their
clients desire.
A call upon any of these gentlemen
(our advertisers) in his or their respec
tive line of business will ensure satisfac
tion and render unnecessary any further
search. Wo adviso you by all means
to go directly to them and get what you
want;
The young men in town will have, on
May 1st, the tournament, at which are
expected not only Knights and Ladies of
this county at large, but also*from other
counties, v inkui .?{1 ml in [i Imam d>, ?
Our statement with regard to Sturgeon's
receipt to Staley, is true, and our denun
ciation of Sturgeon was in his character
as a robber, independently of his politi
cal status, which we however think is pri
ma facio evidence of his fitness for the
oalling. The News' information as to
the Times asking for radical patronage,
is false in toto.
PERSONAL.
His Honor, IL F. Graham, Judge of
the First Circuit, has appointed ono T.H.
Cooke Solicitor for the Orangeburg
portion of the circuit. While the Judge
could not have taken any "other" lawyer
at our bar, without getting more legal ef
ficiency; he certainly (to the credit of the
bar be it said) could not have chosen a
more fit coadjutor in tho Radical squabble
which has been tprong upon him. For
merly Judges cared more for the ermine
and leas for tho bench.

PLANK ROAD.
Will the Town Council take steps to
have a plank road built on Russell
street ? It ' would add greatly to the
comfort of perambulators.
DIED.
We regret to learn of the death of
Miss Ann Pi Lovoll a highly respected and
estimable lady of this place, which oc
currcd'on Friday last.
PERSONAL.
Mr. P. B. Delaney, Assistant Superin
tendent of tbe Southern Atlantic Tele
graph Company; was in town last week,
looking after the interest of the company.
The Weather.
For the past four or five days, we have
been afflicted with the most disagrcahle
weather we have experienced for some
time, consisting of a mixture of rain, sleet,
aud sunshine.
The Rumored Forgery.
The County Treasurer, Frank H.
Greene, Esq., "knows of no facts support
ing those rumors," and offers his office,
books, accounts and vouchers for public
inspection.
Removal.
The office of the Southern Express
Company has been removed to the store
ofCnpt. John A. Hamilton, whohnsbeeu
appointed agent at this place. This will
add greatly to the convenience of persons
having business with the Company. No
one could have been selected, better qual
ified for the position than Capt. H.
ENTERTAINMENT.
We understand that a company of
young gentlemen are making piepa
rations to give a dramatic entertain
ment at this place, at an early day.
This is good news for Oraugeburg. Oth
er towns boast of such organizations and
why cannot Orangeburg. Let us have
the entertainment, by all means, young
gentlemen.
THE TOURNAMENT.
The tournament proposed to be held
on the 1st of May, promises to be a bril
liant success. There arc now about thir
ty knights upon the roll and others are ex- 1
'pebted to ontef the contest1.1' 'We 'undor
staud that a grand ball will be given in
the evening, when tbe lovers of the "light
fantastic," will have an opportunity of
enjoying this really fascinating amuse
ment.

FIRE WELL.
Messrs. Editors t If I am informed cor
rectly there is'to be only one gutter put
up to supply the new fire well, with wa
ter. The fire department bad belter see
into the matter, it may be a very serious
matter with tho merchants near the well,
".h the moat valuable stores aro just about
that location. A fire in that neighborhood
would materially injure the looks of Or
ann-tburg. The merchants and fire
department bad better call a meeting and
have the matter investigated at once.
Your valuable paper can do something
of interest in tlie premises. Both papers
ought to attend to it, as it ih of interest
to the welfare of all taxpaying eitizens.

IMPROVEMENTS. ; ,' ; |
. . ? > on tu I
It is truly gratifying to witness tho
many improvements going on in our town.
For the past lour or five weeks, the sound
of tho hummer and the saw has been al
most incessant. Among the mast notable
of these may be mentioned the building in
course of erection on Iiwseil street, pn
the spot recently occupied by Col. W. Ji
DeTrevill?; the painting of Mr. D. Lou
is' store, on the corner of Ruoell aiid
Amelia streets; the new store of Mr.
Louis, on Russell, near the corner of
Broughton street; the recently, erected
and handsome store of our fellow-towns
man W. A. Meroney, corner Rus*cll and
Broughton streets; and, one or two doors
above, the next store house of Mr. Rich.
Mr. Mcroney, the lordly proprietor jof
Moroncy's Hotel, which is t?o favorably
known to the public, has recently pur
chased that large and commodious build
ing formerly known as the Tradewell
Hotel, and will shortly commence the
work of rejuvinating it. He intends to
open it, in u short time as u first class
hotel, which will doubtless meet a long
felt want in our community. The El
liott Hook and Ladder Company arc
alto making preparations for their new
building, and will shortly commence
work.
We also hear that several gentlemen
! anticipate building private residences in
our town, at an early day.
I This is certainly a bright picturn, hut'
one which we think is not painted in too
brilliant colors. Orangcburg is destin
ed to be a town of no small note; and 'if
our leading citizens and moneyed men
would start to work briskly, the day
would not be very far distant, when she
would be second to neue of our inland
