Tho political crisis which is soon to
come up bolbre the country, will prac
tically decide whether our rulers are the
servitors merely, (and according to an
established Constitution,) of the puhlict
or whether entrusted with the care of
directing the laws they become our mas
ters in verity. The opponents of Grant
claim that if he is endorsed by the country
at largo so as to effect his ro-olootion,
such re-election will establish over us an
imperial throne in tho White House;
and when we of the South think of what
we have and still undergo under Presi
dent Grant without any prospect of a
change the most natural feeling is to try
some one else if possible
To South Carolinians the whole circum
stances: of Grant's election ami conduct
since has been distasteful. His life pre
vious to; the war was of continual dis
grace ; what 'Strength of purpose ho had
ho appears to have exhausted in the road
of dissipation ; this purpose was as usual
strong and he is represented as having
become a consummate disgrace to his po
sition. "NYhen the war broke out he was
one of the war Democrats of the North
who went back on us, and under the
name of Democrats did their best to exter
minate us. After the war he changed
his politics, (that is their name,) to get
the Presidency, which was givon to him
as being the most universally successful
man in his efforts to subjugate us.
Since his election he has rigorously
prosecuted the war of extermination
against the South. His reflection can
oniy be pleasant to such Southerners as
are too spiritless to be uncowed by defeat
jor lied in their professions of animosity
jt the specious legislation carri?^l on
rrviru*n)?iWl? men there may
F?i8 wo du not know, but we feel
'unpleasantly towards them when
they go with us.
The North could have made but one
B( lection of a ruler over us moro distaste
ful than this Grant, and that one is the
king of arson and women murderer,
Sherman.
*A Deaths.
On Snulay last, the 28th inst., the
funeral services were hchl by Kev. Mr.
Auld, over the remains of the lato
Colonel David Kumph, at Limestone
Church, about 11 miles from the town.
Many friends of the deceased wont
from hero to witness the sail ceru
mony. Colonel Kumph was, previous
to the wnr, a man of considerable
influence in our District, and though
liko the rest of us, brought down from
this high estato, in private life he has
ever been a man highly esteemed. He
was Cl years of ago, and had life been
spared him njjgfot have JiyptJ usefully
sevoral years maro.
On ^fftpd?y lnat,at the Baptist Church,
in our village, were interred tho remains
of Colonol P.avi.d Shuler with Masonic
peremonies. Colouei Shu'cr had lived
78 years pfujeful, honorable and indus
trious life, and Iffis died at an advanced
age, beloved by n large community of
friends.
T/rcasurcr Parker has several times rc-,
turned the same answer to such St hool
Commissioners as have applied for tho
funds assigned to their respeptjye coun
ties by our General Assembly. Ho says
there are no funds. nj)d mpst probably
will not be until next Fall when the taxes
for this ycarpurrent shall have been col.
lectcd.
This virtually puts an end jo .?j.ll public
instruction and throws back for several
months the education of our colored citi
zens. l{ works mpro dit-adynntngeously
for the colored clpldrer? because they have
not at home tho ppportpnity ftf learning
the simplest rudiments.
Jt is a sad thing to cqntemplatc, when
. we think that upon the infusion of some
intelligence through this mass of emanci
pated ignorance depend our politicsd
prosperity, and the period of idleness -and
r consequent temptation they must pass
? through until school again opens.
We can't foresee a better opportunity
u
to invest the first instalment of the re
cently "licensed" thefts now being per
petrated. Let the Stntc shavo teachers
certificates ; the county officers do it, and
make "monish."
Vi?iting Mr. Biggs' workshop this
morning ou business, we were very polite
ly taken up stairs by Mr. Jim. "Williams,
his carriage painter, (the only one wo be
lieve in this section,) and shown one of
the prettiest pieces of buggy work it has
over been o.ir fortune to look at. We
claim to be something of a judge of sport
ing outfits, and for neatness of taste and
finish of style the b Uggy body we sftw
was "tho thing." Call and see how you
can have your work done.

Election.?At a meeting of the
Board of Fire Masters held ;|t the Ejp
gine Hall, on Monday afternoon, Mr, j,
W. M iselev was elected Chief of the Fire
Department, vice, Dr. T. A. Elliott, re
signed.
Accident.?Monday afternoon, quite
a serious accident occurred to Mr. Vinco,
while practicing for the tournament.
His horse knocked down the second post,
and threw Mr. Vinco; injuring him
about the head and breaking a bone of
the arm.
A young man (of the sentimental sort,
of course/) sends us the following, with a

Last Friday as Mrs. Ililey and Miss
Rickenbaker were riding in a buggy on
Russell Street, the anjinal attached to the
vehicle, became frightened amj paused
the two ladies to bo {brown from the
buggy, pno of them was run over and
very seriously injured, we. believe. Dr.
Sally's medical skill was called into ser
vice, and under his treatment they are
both improving.
The Guano Bali..?Wc visited the
"Hall" yesterday, in order to see what
was being done to ndd to the cpnyonienco
and comfort of thoee of our citizons who
expect to "tip the light fantastic," to
night, at the Grand Tournament Ball.
Several of Eye's fair daughters were en,:
gaged iu decorating the Hall and fixing
it up in tho most attractive manner, while
tho "Col." was looking nftor the promen
ade ground; and the "Dr." attending
to the dancing-room. We did not sec
the "Captain," hut suppose ho was think
ing about the band of musicians. "Wc
couldn't find the "Lieut." nor the "Maj."
The indications are that the building
will be "brimfull," and we may anticipate
a jolly, gold time. Tho committee has
displayed an untiring zeal in their efforts
to make the affair a success.
Entertainment.?Our citizens will
have an opportunity of witnessing the
Miltonian Tableaux of "Paradise Lost,"
at the Court Ihjuse by (he Lamurtino
Bros. Tt consists of representations of
Ilcaycn, tl\o Coleatial Palace, the
Rjvor of Bliss, Satan and his
angels plotting rebellion, the Creation,
Hell mid Chaos, Garden of Kden, Para
diso Regained. We thank the gentleman
ly managers for the usual Courtesy,
A SiiAYEU,?By referenco tq qur ad
vertising columns it will bo seen, ijiat Mr.
Jqhu Kobinson, realizing tho want long
felt in our midst for some "knight of the
razor,' has determined to supply this
want by coming to the rescue, and estab
lishing a Hair Dressing Saloon, over the
stqrc of Csrpt, Briggman. 1 [a is prepared
to perform his toi'sorial operations in the
most soothing manner, nnd wc bespeak
for him the patronage of our pjt'izens who
j\re fond of being "shaved."
Mox?y OnpEitOffice.?Our readers
will be pleased to learn that the Orange
burg Post Office has been made a "money
order office," for the transmission of
money through the Department, which
is something we have needed for
some time. Remittances can be made to
nearly every portion of Undo Hutu's Do
minions, by means pf tpc money order
system; and jn cusp of loss, it is the Post
Office Department, not the remitter, diat
suffers, the Iqsa IVPll' the failure of such
remittances to reach their destination.
Have it Sroi'pJ'n,?We do not know
if there is ?l law; but il'there is not, wo
hope the Town Council will pass one im
mediately, which will prevent rowdyism
and profane language being used on our
streets. Cnndug from the depot on iu
recant occasion) wo m?t"sonic 25 or
tuen near the corner of ftussell Street and
Railroad Avenue, who wore conducting
themselves in a most disgraceful manner,
Their oaths could bo heard for some dis
tance from where they were standing, and
wo expected every minute to see a "free
fight." Such comlimi should be stopped.
If permitted to U'? (,ni oul' t?vwH V'Hl soon
lose its good name, ami ihsjead of an or
derly ami well regulated town, wc will
havo a "fit haunt for devils." See to this
lUjttter, Mr. Mayor.
K n i. a p <; E m k st;?Wo present tho
Tim ich to our readers this week in at: en
larged and greatly improved appearance.
When we issued the fir.->t number of our
paper, it was our intention to increase the
size of it, at an early day; and now that
we have fully met our expectations, wo
again present our claims upon the honest
citizens of Orangeburg and adjoining
counties for a liberal support. Our aim
is, and shall over be, to give our readers
a first-class literary and family news
paper, one that frowns upon and exposes
villains and rogues wherever found. Our
first page will he devoted to light litera
ture, &c. The second, to tho discussion
of questions of;the day, and a record of
passing events in our community ; and on
the fourth will always be found a store
of rieTTand useful knowledge to the far
mer, the gardener and the matron.
To advertisers, wo would say, that the
Times offers inducements to them which
cannot, be equalled by any paper pub
lished in the county.
N. B.?Our circulation "in the county"
is larger than any other, ami is rapidly
increasing.

reform in politics.
I/ORE OF THE RECENT TORNADO.
Tltc recent blow appears to have done
mostjdamngo on its first entry into our
Comity up about Bull Swamp. A coun
try $iend says that on O. B. Kiley's
placd it blew down many houses, und
carried oft" tkc top of the gin house. At
Jama? Ott's it blew down nearly every
louse' on the place. At Ephraim Graves
ever)'house except the corn house. At
JohnMurph's left only the dwelling and
Baw thill, lifting the grist mill from its
foundations. The mill was torn to pieces
und file mill-stones, measuring 4 feet by
18 halbes thick, carried off about 30 feet.
All the rbn.ds over which it passed are
blockaded by tho uprooted trees. Its
width, was about 200 yards. All these
places mentioned had dwellings and out
buildjigs, the usual plantation buildings
and luigi o quarters. It took an old lady,
who ^ud hidden between the bid and
mattojgg, out of the house, bed 1,u,l alh
and '-feck.cd her to sleep" in the. yard

. PnorosKo Extension of the Ku
Ki.rx Act.? A. Washington special to
the Baltimore Sun, says: Thy hill to ex
tend the. operations of the fourth section
of the Ku Klus art to the ppil of the
present Congress, whcjehy t|ic writ ot
habeas corpus may be suspor.dcd by the
President, will tome up for discussion in
the Senate on Mfuqlay next. -The limi
tation of tlio option expires with the
present session, and it is the intention of
the proposed bill t?> rover theehtiro period
of the Presidential campaign. The Dem
ocrats hope to defeat it in the House; but
if they succeed, the. Itopubtlc'ans intend
to have Congress take ? recess till Satur
day, November SO, when the present ses
sion wotdd then expire, pud in that way |
extend the privilege of the suspension of
the writ for that period, being but three
months less than the proposed extension
by actual legislation. The fiercest de
bate of the session is promised on the
new bill.
Tun Dki'aut.m unt op Industry.?A
communication le Cyrus Elder in the
December number of the Penh. Monthly,
afterstutiVg the fact, that the Constitu
tion of the United States makes no men
tion of Cabinet officers, h aving it entirely
to Congress to provide the necessary de
partments of government, ami also that
Washington entered upon the Pres
idency with only four of the bcvcii de
partment* now represented in the Cabi
net, viz : >f Slate, Treasury and War and
Attorney General, presents the necessity
for a new department, for whieh he pro
poses the v?j"v appropriate designation of
Industry.
It is proposed that the present Depart
ment of Agriculture, be ttylcd a Bureau,
with its commissioners as at present; that
tho Potent; Qflieo be withdrawn from the
Interior Department and lirrrt tjie nucle
us oQi Bureau of Manufacturers, to be
charged also with the preparation of .sta
tistical information ?s to l\v ma no fac
toring interest, the Introduction of new
processes, and such other dtlics as this
department of American industry may
require; that the Statistical Bureau be
withdrawn from the Treasury Depart
ment and be made the nucleus ri u S u
roau of Commerce, for th. p\\pss of
giving attention to the movemett j id
interest of trade, and assume srh r ?
portions ns should meet the needs of the
merchants of the country.
Theso three Bureaus each under charge
of a commissioner aro to be represented
by one general head, a Minister of Indus
try, whoso duty it becomes to promote
and harmonize all these interests which
are co-ordinate in their operations and
necessities.
Mr. Lay of tho navy, has invented a
torpedo, which is now before Congress and
for which ho asks $100.000, provided it
does all he claims for it. He proposes to
be able to send it out two miles at sea,
keep it under perfect control from, the
shore by electricity, and direct it under a
ship and blow it up, or lot it proceed one
mile and cause it to return without ex
ploding, showing the perfect coi.trol he
1ms over tho infernal machine, It is pro
posed that a board of \\u,xi\\ office^ shall
examine it and certify that it has all the
merits claimed, If what is said of the
machine is true, \{ \\\\\ errate \\ complete
revolution in naval warfare, and provide
another means of defence against a foreign
invasion. As naval officers would have
to use it in time of war. they oppose its
adoption, unless the most perfect tests arc
made by experienced officers.
Pkess DkaD Heaps.?P.ailroads oc
casionally complain of dead-heading, but
no institution suffers so much by it as
the press. A sensible writer says : TJic
press endures the affliction of dead hend
ism from the pulpit, the bar and t|m stftge;
from corporations, societies and individ
uals. It is c.vpct'ted \o yield its interest,
it is required to givostrength to the weak,
eyes to the blind, clothes to the naked,
and bread to the hungry; it is asked t">
cover infirmities, hide weaknesses and
wink at quacks, bolster up dulj authors
and flatter the vain; it is, in short, tq be
all things to all men, and if it looks for
pay or reward it U denounced as mean anil
sordid. There \s no interest under the
whole heavens that is expected to give
so much U> society without pay o\- thanks
as tlm press,
