VJcT>.~ We arc in no tray responsible for (he views or opinions of our Correspondents. To the Patrons of tho ' Times." It will doubtless be a mutier of sur prise to most of you to find, wit'i tins issue, that the Times hits passed into ether hands, and an explanation on thy part may therefore be expected. With this view I would slate, that although the paper has never since its establishment enjoyed tho patronage it should, as au independent advocate of the interests of the minority, com peting with a well fed "official organ/' supported liberally by tho Democrats, it is to-day in as prosperous condition ns it ever has been, tho subscription list and advertising patronage being just as largo?if not larger?than at any other period of its existence. The financial prospects of tho paper would rather encourage continuance, but, unfortunately, my health having failed to 9i\ch an extent that it is im possible for me to continue longer at the case as a printer, and a change of occupation being necessary, I have concluded, since the last issue to make a final disposition of the paper, and have been compelled, in the absence of other oners, to do the best I could, and as the par';iea who havo bought (the proprietors of the Orangeburg Hews) have agreed to carry out our contracts with subscribers and adver tisers, I trust the arrangement will prove satisfactory. In conclusion, I desire to return my thanks for past patronage, and to wish success, both to our former patrons and to the new proprietors. G. W. WHITEHEAD, Proprietor Orangeburg Times. THE FORCE RILL. Congress has adjourned, and the force bill, the pet measureiofPresi^ *- dent ftrniit.|}yp,no?r-pns?pd? Tno O? ject of the bill was to give him 'the the power to use the United States troops and courts anywhere in the South for the accomplishment of ins I designs. In the four Suites of Ala bama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar kansas ho could suspend the writ of habeas corpus. General Grant is making every ef fort to secure the republican nomina tion for next President, and we hope he will succeed in getting it; for if he does, and the Democrats oppose him by such a mau ns Tilden, of jN'cw York, Thurmau or Allen, tho issue will be the civil against military su premacy, in which case Grunt will certainly be beaten. He is doing the very thing to defeat his part}', and if tho Democrats only continue to act with the wisdom which has marked their course of late, they will be successful. The action of the Grant party in Louisiana and Ar kansas, and their attempt to pass this iorcc bill, ns well as all other meas ures tending to military supremacy, have changed public opinion all over the country, and if tho democrats con tinue to champion tho civil cause against the military, and insert in their platform all those purely demo cratic pinciples which aim at tho amelioration of the oppressed, and the establishment of good government, their tiiumph will be irresistible. Tradition tells us that when the Huguenots first settled on the coast of South Carolina one of their fust acts was to require every land owner to plant and cultivate at lenst two acres of breadstuff's for every member of tli3 family, and subsequently they passed a kindred act apprenticing every man or woman who had no daily employmont to sonii industrious farmer, for the purpose of making them grow provisions. There is no doubt that at the present time it would be a blessing to tho couu'.ry if a law wna passed requiring every person idling or sponging around large cities, like New York or Charleston, to bo taken up and put lo work on some well organized farm. It is an imposition for tho farmers to Iced :,ueh a horde who arc skulking from held work, and consuming with out producing a grain for the Bt'Ston oneo of their fellow-beings. There are too many, also, standing behind <?.- . ? ?! some pfieminate sind ?... ',! i he in (no field making coin, mis is ine teere i of half Lhu hard times. Major M. 11. Doluny, ,tho colored conservative caudidato for lieutenant governor, delivered a leoture by re quest in Irving's Hull, New York on March 5th. His subject was "Tho Present Political issues of tho South." He was introduced to n largo au dience by Hon. William Gullen Bry ant, aud soou portruyed the true con dition o/.' things at tho South, which he urged tho Northern people to ac quaint themselves with more thor oughly. Ho told them that tho two race? at tho South wcio kindly dis posed toward each other aud would always continue so were it not for the intermeddling of a few scalawags and carpet-baggers, who, in order to keep in office, leach the colored people that democracy means slavery, aud repub licanism freedom. His audience vras composed of whites and blacks, and tho lecturo was well received and will doubtless do much good in promulgating the truth. General Gordon, of Georgia, aud Mr. Lnmar, of Mississippi, two eloquent Southern statesmen, have, by invita tion, taken the stump in New Hamp shire, in the interest of the democratic ticket. They have appointments to speak every evening until election day. They are liberal democrats and will convince tho Northern people j that the Southern people are neither ruffians nor instigators of violence against tho Union, as the blatant Butler would have them believe. Ex-President Andrew Johnson is now in tho United States Senate. Jnrne3 K. Moans, son of Capt. S. 0. Means; of Spartanburg, accident ally shot himself and died almost in stantly. General Porter, tho new democratic governor of Tennessee, who was an officer in tho Confederate service, in making up his staff, has coHfer.'VJd the appoi^imen IT?f quartermaster-general the Uuiou army. There ie nothing new in tha Car? dozo matter, except the adoption of a r&rolution, by both houses, requiring the attorney-general to assist the com mittee in preparing an address for Cardozo's removal. Jn the past two days there seems to have been n cur- \ rent in Cardozo's favor, and it is now | .stated confidently, by his friends, that many who voted for the appointment of the committee will not vote for the address. The proceeding threatens to bo long. Chancellor Johnson and Mr. Trcnholm represent the conserva tives on the committee. Tho address will probably bo presented to day. Tribute of Respect. At a meeting of the session of the Orangeburg Presbyterian church held on the 1st March, the following Min ute was adopted in reference to the death of Dr. E. J. Oliveros: ? Dr. E. J. Olivcros was born at St. Augustine, Florida, on the 15th May, 1836, and died from tho effects of a fall from his house on the 12th Jan uary, 1875, and was consequently in the thirty -ninth year of his age. He early turned his attention to the study of medicine, and graduated in the Medical College in Philadelphia, when he was about twenty years of ago. Ho at once commenced tho practice of medicine in Thomas County, Gr,., where he remained for a number of yoars in tho discharge of a good practice. At the commence ment of the late war he joined the Confederate army and served to its close, as surgeon, in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia. Immediately after the war lie settled in Oraugeburg, when he gave up the practice of med icine, nnd carried on a large and suc cessful business as druggist and apoth ecary, in which business he continued to the time of his death. Only one week before his death, his house and stoic, with all his stock, were con sumed by a devastating fire, which laid in ashes a largo part of our town. Scarcely anything was saved from the flames. This loss he bore with un complaining Christian submission, recognizing God's hand in taking away what he had given. And while the whole community was yet stagger ing under tho heavy loss which had been i!i!!i''!"'i on it?senrfplv n.ble to j realize the extent of its loss and suf io.iiig?he himself, one of its most prominent and uaolVl members, by a GENERAL NEWS. laptaiu Hood, who served in provideuco sad nud mysterious to us, was ?uddefily taken awiry from Us, in tlie full vigor of health, and with scarcely a moment's warning. X Dr. Oliveros was born of Roman Catholic parents, and reared under the influence of that church; but-when he canic'io manhood he was led, utter maturo deliberation, to renounco that faith, and united with the Boston Presbyterian church in Thomas Co., On., then under the pastoral care of Rev. Eli. Graves; and in 18(3-1 he trnnsfetrcd his membership to this church. On the 28th Juno of tho snmo year ho was united in marriage to E. Rose C. Beach, who, with three children, still survive him. In Feb. 1867 ho was set apart to thfi-ffffico of | deacon in tho Orangeburg church; and in May, 1871, he was ordained to the office of ruling elder, both or which offices ho filled to tho comfort 3nd ed ification of God's people. Dr. Oliveros was a good citizen, a kind and nfTectionage husband and father, an exemplary Christian;, and a faithful ruler in God's house* His place is now vacant in our Councils. We shall no more meet with hjlm here and take sweet cuuusel together; but trust wo shall meet him againiu "the general assembly and Church1 of tho first born which aro written in Heav en. We mourn his loss; but we mourn not ns those who havo no hope. He has doubtless entered into Iiis rest, and received tho "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." "Aud I heard a voice from heaven sayingrunto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit; that they may rest from their labors, and their works do fol low them." RctolviO, That in the death <*I Dr. E. J. j Oliveros this church has Lst a cealous and faithful supporter, a wise counsellor, and an exemplary Christian-r?ne who cherish od an abiding interest in its welfare, and who, wo believe, conscientiously tried to discharge his duties, both as a private Christian and a ruler in God's house. ^ Resolved, That we recognize jQod'i liand in that .stroke, by which he ws? ro suddenly, and in a way sc diairessing to us, taken away from us; and that we how in silent submission to the Divine will, recognizing God's right to call for His own when and how ho will, and thanking I [im for the fathful Bcrvjjj?pious example, which, Iiif mi|j7>ilWHffBjn (Iii lmJlmt rri-_rn_ abied to render. Resolved, That we tender to the family of our deceased brother our sincere and heart felt sympathy in their sore affliction, and commend them to the grace of Ulirisl which abounds towards his people in all their sor rows. Resolved. That a blank page in our book of records be inscribed to his memory, ami that the clerk he directed to send a copy of this minute and these resolutions to tl._ family of our brother.

It is reported that the town council intend to increase tho liquor license. As long as there aro fools enough to get drunk they ought to-be taken care of. Alonzo Webster has been appointed postmaster nt Orangeburg, and, we presume, will enter upon his duties in a few days. The next question is, whe.e is the post office to be? There are no "official" newspapers in the State. Public officers aud pri vrlo citizens can publish every notice required by law to be made public, in any newspaper they may select. Tho New York Bulletin, in view of | tho adjournment of Congress, congrat ulates the busiuess community on the riddance of one of the most formidable embarrassmeuts in tho way of Spring trade. The hotel at Florence has closed. Cause?civil rights bill. Many othor hotels are being converted into private boarding houses, whether for the same cause or no*, is a subject for surmise. The Frco Citizen, speaking ot our retiring editor, says: "Wo notice that Mr. Mcllichamp retires from the editorial management of the Orangeburg Times. This we regret, as he is evidently a gentleman of culture and integrity, and' withal, of liberal and conservative views. We are glad, for his sake, ho has other and, we trust, more profitable business. Gov. Chamberlain, on tho petition of many citizens of Orangeburg coun ty, including the bar of that county and other prominent persons, and on the recommendation of Judge Reed and Solicitor Buttz, has commuted the sentence of Govan Reed, who was convicted of murder at the January term of the court of general sessions, from death., . to imprisonment for twenty years in the State penitentiary. A subscriber to; a paper died a few days agD, leaving four years' subscrip tion unpaid. The editor appeared at the grave when the lid was being "screwed down the last time, aud put in the coffin a palm leaf fan, a linen coat and a thermometer, which is only used in warm climates. The architect has drawn the plan tor the new courthouse forOrnngehurg, j which is to cost not more than $25, UUO. We don't know that, the people of Orangeburg arc wealthy, although one would judge so by the amount of taxes they can pay; but we do think we ought to have a court house as well as other towns of the State of tho same size. ? - ? ' " - "It is an outrage.us shame that the school trustees of Orangeburg county, besides appointing teachers who are incompetent, will actually issue cer tificates far beyond the levy made to meet the account, the consequence being that only the fortunate teach ers who come first to the treasury oflico get paid, while the others have to go unpaid altogether, or until a special levy is made for back ac counts, which is generally doubtful. The radical party has been in power long enough now to do better, it they choose. ? i? ? m ? The tolling of the bells on Saturday morning conveyed the sad intelligence of another stroke from the hand of death in our midst. Mrs. Harley, the mother of our cstccmeu fellow-citizen, J. P. Harley, Esq., died at her resi dence in this place, on Friday last, in the seventy-sixth year of her age. The funeral services were pcformed in the Methodist church on Saturday, and her remains were accompanied to the grave by a large circle of sorrow ing friends. Sbo has passed a full life of Christian usefulness, and has gone to receive her reward. Our sympathies are with the bereaved. MAURI ED, On March 2d, 1875, by Rev.
