HEYWARD, Editor. 1 Q", _BBS Henoefbrthv all Illegal Ad vertisements, of Couiitj' Interest, ?wlieth-ei* notices or; ptliei'B, will be publish od for the benefit of prir re&dors whether they are paid for* bv noti ' in i ii i ' ! in' ??I?' ii i i It seems .vain for tbo South ever to hope for anything like fair and friendly dealing at the hands of Northern 'politi cians.: Tha voice of the South has hardly been heard in assent to tbo offer of Gree ley Instead of Grant wlien a conference of jealous sore heads meet in New York and try .if it ia not practicable, to defeat the chances of the . only Yankeo that the whole white south would have endorsed; because he is the only i i 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 Gree lcy, and our prompt endaremsent of Gree ley causes them tolook his mouth and examine his points once more. Maybe, think they, they are taken in. No mat ter of principlo is it with them. The?nly way to deal with these people is entirely outside of principlo asyou would ahorse trader. Judge for your self and make your offer. In this case we trade for Greeley on principle, we prefer him to Northern democracy and Southern radicalism, wo want him and they cither give him to us or take Grant. Let the Baltimore Convention (by all means the Southern part of it) with ?rie voice say this. "Let us have Greeley orive give you back Grant" As for Charles Francis Adams he would not beat a policeman outside ofMassadi.u sotts. Greeley is our man?they can not offer another reliable and available politi cal man. They may have others honest but they would run verv light. The North docs not very much herald honesty rxR be. Greeley we can count on, he gives us all we can demand, without the demand; we simply assent with diguity, devoid of arrogance. Wre are glad to see that the political slate of the conven tion showed a market balance in favor of our man Horace Greel cv. im?ft *< ? i lo on, r f iXfCl* u&d&iJW DO'iiO We have in the last 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 lnst year's show at this time. The la bor market is rather empty owing to a very generally increased disposition of sthc colored men to hiro their patches and idle when not actively engaged in said' patches, which is only when nbsotutely 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. Knowlton retires from the Editorship of that paper. While we regret to part with his professional association, we arc pleas ed for friendship sake that he has seen proper to do so, as his position in politics was painful to our personal relations with him. Mr. Knowlton proposes leaving this State 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 ho has made very many warm friends and has gained both here and#clsewherc 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. fei ' ^x^KmT,J^l%J*i'x*VO f. 5THE- V*T$EET. (coxcixnKi).) What becomes of the interests of the people us expressed iu the memorial bunded 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 fir as the public know.? This Town Council and this one Commis sioner don't make the people, by long odds. They are repr?sentatives of the people, and the servants of tho people, and the wishes of the people should bo their guide. Oho Councilman may shrug his shoulders, and, in answer to a re monstrance of one of these same people, may say, "Wo 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 inlavor of tfcii streit'^' "Self interest," 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 a very few are lot-owners?few favorably affected by this street?and they arc entitled to tho credit of protest ing against this scheme as detrimental to the public good. It is but fair to do them the justice to think thoy were actu ated by no self-interest in the matter; but that while owning some of this prop erty which is to be wrested nway 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, and the utter disregard of a great fundamental principle exhibited before them. There may bo self-interest when they reflect tnnt tho wrong done to one to-day may be reflected on them to-morrow, and no one knows upon whom the whims of this choice body may next inflict a blow. If these memorialists or the majority Own no lote?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 bo 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 bo with those who are advocating it, who 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 tho part of those who deprecate tins move. "Liniment" has clearly been endeav oring to soft-soap the people?he has used one component part of the article composing bis name, that is, soap, for getting that ther\s are also imitating in gredients in the same. I think upon reflection, that "Lini ment" in trying on tho argumentative style, missed his calling. "Liniment" is clearly a poet, that's it. The whole ar gument bends downward to the last sen tence, it clearly labors to get to that poetic brcst, it drags along as tho, not particularly interested, and as though lingering and impatient to get out the ficwery sentimentality which closes the piece. "Liuiuient," my friend, if I could sec no ror.ce in your argument, let mc frankly confess thnt when I read your closing sentence I was deeply moved? Your poetic allusions to "Jamestown weed and Jerusalem oak," so gracefully introduced, so touchingly and pathetical ly?so unexpectedly and yet so delight fully made, affected me greatly. I am not ashamed to confess it?I wept?and many another anti-street man, yea wo man also, shed tears of gratitude, moved by tho appreciation of tho delicious po etic sentiment oxprcsscd in those few lines. Just as I am about closing this, I see in tho News of June 8, a piece from tho "Fork" in favor of this street, He says: "For every one of your 75 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 'Torkcrs" think should bo attached to your wishes on the subject? Do you pay any Town Taxes ? How much will you contributo to help ing us pay for this street? If there are hundreds of you who "don't want any thing to do with Orangeburg in your business relations with tho R. R.," what do you want with an other street? You iwiy, "wo don't wnui your >'dry goods, liquor, grooorics Ac. Wo nie out of money." Wlmt do you want then? You talk bravely about paying ten times the value of property taken from owners. Why don't you come forward, nnd lets see your money, which in but a few lines above you say you are out of? You just let the citizens of this town, who bear the expenses, ran the town. JUSTITIA.
