Orangebnrg, S. C, June 26, 1872. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE COUNTY. J. S. HEYWARD, Editor. IToneeforth, all Legal Ad vertisements, of County Interest, whether notices or others, will be publish ed for the benefit of pnr readers whether tliey are ptiid for or not. It seems Vain for the South ever t? hope for anything like fair and friendly dealing at the hands of Northern politi cians. The voice of the South has hardly been heard in assent to tho offer of Grec ley instead of Grant when a conference of jealous sore heads meet in New York and try if it is not practicable, to defeat the chances of .the , only Yankee that the whole white south would hnve endorsed; because he is the only prominent man among them who is not prominently known as going into politics in a spirit of trade. Finding Grant a villainous colt they offered to trade him for Grcc ley, and our prompt endorcmsent of Gree ley causes them to look his mouth and examine his points once more. May be, think they, they are taken in. No mat ter of principle is it with them. Theonly way to deal with these people is entirely outside of principle nsyou would n horse trader. Judge for your self and make your offer. In this ease we trade for Grceley on principle, wc prefer him to Northern democracy and Southern radicalism, wo want him aud they either give him to us or take Grant. Let the Baltimore Convention (by all means the Southern part of it) with one voice say this. "Let us have Groeley or we give you back Grant." As for Charles Francis Adams he would not beat a policeman outside of Massachu setts. Greelcy is our man?they can not offer another reliable and available politi cal man. They may have others honest but they would run very light. The North does not very much herald honesty pjtit be. Greelcy wc can count on, he gives us all we can demand, without the demand; we simply assent with dignity, devoid of arrogance. We are glad to see that the political slate of the conven tion showed a market balance in favor of our man Horace Greelcy. We have in the hist fortnight several very fine rains, and up to that time a fine sunny spell for the killing of grass and cultivation of the land which was rather hastily prepared from the lateness of the winter season. The crops have done splendidly and everything looks fully up to last year's show at this time. The la bor market is rather empty owing to a very generally increased disposition of the colored men to hire their patches and idle when not actively engaged in said patches, which is only when absotute.lv necrssary and not always then. When we say idle we mean idle?they do not even go out to the political meetings, which take place now prety regularly. In the last issue of tho News Mr. Kuowlton retires from the Editorship of that paper. While wc regret to part with his professional association, wc are pleas ed for friendship snko that he. has seen proper to do so, as his position in politics was painful to our personal relations with him. Mr. Kuowlton proposes leaving this Stnte and going elsewhere to seek a competency for his family not afforded him Here, which we sincerely hope, he may obtain ; and we believe that he car ries the good wishes of every member of the community. Here among us he has made very many warm friends and has gained both here andaclsc\vhero a sound reputation as a lawyer of brilliant parts possessing an astute mind well versed in the lore of his profession. For him un fortunately, there is no opening here for another lawyer, in fact we arc somewhat overstocked in the article already. -??-----J^L ? ig-iUA - i-_? [commv N iOATKD.j THE KfEW STREET. (?oncluwkd.) What becomes of the interests of tho people us expressed in the memorial handed to this Council, signed by over seventy citizens?more than one-half tho number of voters at the last elec tion. These gentlemen suggested that t heir wishes might possibly bo entitled to consideration. And their memorial was laid on the table. Almost no notice was taken of it so far as the public know.? This Town Council and this one Commis sioner don't make the people, by long odds. They are representatives of the people, and the servants of tho people, and the wishes of tho people should bo their guide. One Councilman may shrug his shoulders, and, in nnswer to a re monstrance of one of these same peuple, may say, "We have tho majority in Council." But that majority may not exist always. I am perfectly sure that did this Council exhibit a decent regard for the wishes expressed in the memorial, so as to take the views of tho citizens of Orangeburg, they would find no majority out of Council in favor of this street.? "Keif iuterest," quoth Liniment, "has swallowed up everything." Where ?? Surely not in those 70 voters who pro test against this matter. It is but rea sonable to suppose that of those memorial ists, but n very few are lot owners?few favorably affected by this street?and they are entitled to the credit of protest ing against this scheme as detrimental to the public good. It is but fair to do them the justice to think they were actu ated by no self interest in the matter; but that while owning some of this prop erty which is to be wrested away from the owners, they still feel, as public citi zens, that a great wrong is done to the public?as public citizens are indignant at the violation of private rights, aud the utter disregard of a great fundamental principle exhibited before them. There may be self-interest when they reflect that the wrong done to one to-day may be reflected on them to-morrow, and no one knows upon whom tho whims of this choice body may next inflict a blow. If the?c memorialists or the majority own no loU?if they can* see no public benefit, but great private wrong instead, and for this they protest, and because they see that for a "scheme of a few the great public must be taxed and robbed, and private citizens wronged, are they to bo charged with "self-interest." There may be self-interest; but it is not with those who oppose this scheme. There may be with those who are advocating it, wlio own lots which will open on this street?with those who have purchased lots to be enhanced in value as they hope; but surely not on the part of those who deprecate this move. '?Liniment" has clearly been endeav oring to soft-soap the people?he has used one component part of the article composing Ins name, that is, boat, for getting that ther>* arc also imitating in gredients in the same. I think upon reflection, that "Lini ment" in trying on the argumentative style, missed his calling. "Liniment" is clearly a poet, that's it. The wdiole ar gument bends downward to the last sen tence, it clearly labors to get to that poetic brest, it drags along as tho, not particularly interested, and as though lingering and impatient to get out the flewcry sentimentality which closes the piece. "Liniment," my friend, if I could see no pokck in your argument, let me frankly confess that when I read your (dosing sentence I was deeply moved? Your poetic allusions to "Jamestown weed and Jerusalem oak," so gracefully introduced, so touebingly and pathetical ly?so unexpectedly and yet so delight fully made, affected me greatly. I am not ashamed to confejs it?I wept?and many another anti-street man, yea wo man also, shed tears of gratitude, moved by the appreciation of tho delicious po etic sentiment oxpresscd in those few lines. Just as I am about closing this, I see in the News of June H, a piece from the "Fork" in favor of this street. Ho says: "For every one of your 7o names, I can get you one hundred begging for another street." Now, my Fork friend, I have no doubt you can get any number ; but i'll bet you can't get them in this town; and I should like to ask you what par ticular attention your "forkers" think should be attached to your wishes on the subject? Do you pay any Town Taxes ? How much will you contribute to help ing us pay for this i-treet? If there are hundreds of you who "don't want any thing to do with Orangeburg in your business relations with the K. R.," what I do you want with an other street ? You say, "\vo doirt want your dry goods, liquor, groceries ?fco. Wo nro out of money." Wlint do you want then? You talk bravely about paying ten times the vuluo of property taken front owners. Why don't you come forward, and lets see your money, which in but a few lines abovo you say you are out of ?. You just let the citizens of this town, who bear the expenses, run the town. JUSTITIA.
