ATTORNEYS AND COlNSELLORS
For the Orangeburg Time?.
Tilden and His Accusers.
Mr, Editor:
I have from time to time been im
pressed, with the wisdom of your
viewsou Mr. Tilden, and his relation
to the Democratic nomination for
Piesidcnt in 1880; and I am frank to
admit that to every student of the
p*u3t politicnl history of this country,
and to every close observer of the
present bearing and aspect of affairs,
they must appear as sagacious and
well-timed.
It was only a few years back that
Mr. Ti Idea's name was in the mouth
of nine-tenths of the Democrats of the
South as the greatest reformer of the
country. Without him the great
Democratic party seemed helpless.
By an almost universal agreement he
was chosen ns its standard-bearer. A
gallant tight was made under his
leadership for the Presidency. The
fT'/it of his name en tried enthusiasm
every where; and it led the Demo
cracy to victory at ?he polls; bat by
the stupidity and the lack of courage
, on the part of the Democratic House
of Congress, he was not installed as
he shoutd have been, but hud his
triumph submitted to a juggling
Commisnion, the majority of whose
members had their.minds made up to
seat Hayes before they took thoir
oaths of office Tilden was not then,
and should not now be held respon
sible for that gigantic fraud. No
one during the sittings of the Com
mission pretended to say that it was
the woik of Tilden. Ou the contrary,
it was regarded as. the result of the
combined wisdom of the Democratic
glanders in Congress. But as so in as
it failed to pet form the task which
anxious Democrats wished it to do iu
spite of every thing, the men who con
ceived the idea o; originating it, began
to bunt nbout lor excuses to shield
themselves from blame or censure;
and soou the onus of the whole jung
ling affair was duly placed upun the
broad shoulders of 1 he sage of Gramnr
cy Park. "Ho ought to have march
ed to Washington and taken the oath
of office," these shufflers said,''and we
would have backed him with our
treasure and our blood." What
transparent nonsense! There U not a
reader of your paper but would have
damned him into eternal infamy if
he had attempted any thing of the
kind, and been unsuccessful! With
(?rant at the head of the nation, he
and his followers Would have been
shot down line dogs, and the South
would have had to undergo a now
reconstruction; for the Ida ?13 of the
whole a (fair would have been lai 1
upon the South by the politicians of
the North, and instead of b 5*111? in
almost entire possession of the g ivern
ment, as the Democratic party is to
day, the nation would h-ivo beim re
manded buck into the hau Is of the
worst element of Belieal politician) !.
Under the circumstances, I believa
that Tildeifs course was wise, patriotic
and subserved the best interests
of tho South; and it comes with ill
grace from her editors tobe continu
ally damning him for what was best
f>r their country. They have lavish
ed uustii.ted praise upon Hayes, who
stole the Presidentv, but they have
proved with fiendish glee upon the
very vitals of the man who no doubt
saved the nation from being drench
ed a second t ime iu blood.
1 do not say nominate Til den, but
I d ) say he sh uhl receive bitter
treatment Irom ? people ho tried so
hard to rescue from Giantism. 11

Badical orators and journals will take
I what is said against him now to light

what an attractive volume was culled
from Democratic new.- papers bore in
praise of t hainber'ain ?vhen Gover
nor Hampton was making his gallont

"Orangeburg Now aud Then.''
Mr. Editor:
In common with thegoneral reader ,
I have perused, with some degree of
interest, the historic sketches ?f your
highly esteemed correspondent who
has favored us with * Orangeburg
Now and Then;" and think that he
ought to receive sufficient encourage
ment to induce him to continue these
valuable papers. Such communica
tions are important, in as much as
they bring up the sacred momories of
the past, aud teach us wholesome
lessons for the future. The story of
the early settling of Orangeburg
County is a page in the history of our
State which, until a late day, had
never been fully written; and this fact,
doubt less, accounts for one wrong
ivij>rrf,sion which our venerable friend
has made on the public mind, and
which I desire, in all manner of
bumi'ity and kindness, to correct.
He says, "Before 1776 there were
v.t:_ r>_1_.___ 1
Baptists. The Episcopalians had a
church in the town, and a chapel
near Half-Way Creek in St. Mat
thews, nud the Presbyterians bad two
churches?one at Turkey Hill near
the town, and the other on (.'attic's
Creek." Now I do not question there
statements, but simply controvert the
impression made by them, to wit:
That these churches, in the order
here presemed, existed prior to any
other in the town and County, and
none other had an cxistenco in history
before them, or even as their co
tempornries. In my judgment the
reader can only arrive at this conclu
sion from the statement above quoted.
The facts are these: The early
settlers of Orangcburg County and
town were mostly German and Swiss
Lutherans who came hero during the
year 1735, and in 1737. Their first
pastor, who organized them into a
regular Lutheran congregation, in the
toten of OranyeLtirg in 1737, was Rev.
John Ulrick Gissendanncr. His
faithful labors ended in death during
the fall of 1738. The first establish
ed church of Oraugeburg was, there
fore, a Lutheran church, which had an
existence there about twelve (12)
years before the Episcopal church.
The secotd pastor was the nephew of
the first, bearing the same name. He
labored teu years as a Lutheran
mildster, pit-aching in the town, and
at Su Matthews Lutheran church,
located in Amelia Township, after
which, in 1 740, he went lo London,
received ordiuation at the hands of
the Episcopal Bishop, Rev. Dr.
Shellock, the Bishop of London. His
subsequent labors were as an Epis
eopal minister. Iu 1749, when the
Oraugeburg Lutheran church bouse
became changed into an Episcopal
house of worship, there were 107
Lutheran members iu the town, aud
these "were served by Lutheran pas
to is entirely, numbering iu all about
seventeen ministers." Time sped ou,
difficulties arose, war had spread his
dark mantle over the.-o, early settlers,
and they are soon, in great measure,
lost sight of; and, eventually, swal
lowed up by other denominations.
Aud this accounts for the fact that
the Lutheran element enters largely
into all the denomination* now. exist
ing iu the County, and oven iu the :
State.
There are many other interesting
Incts which I should be pleased to
furnish, bad 1 time aud space in
which to do so; but this hastily pre
pared paper must be closed. I shall
only add that, the facts above given
are substantiated by the Urlsperger
Reports, und the manuscript records
now ou the si elves of the Statchuuse
at Columbia; and that 1 have simply
drawn the information above given
from the valuable history of Dr.
Bentheim, to which tue reader is
kindly refuried.

We are of tho opioion that tha
people o^ thin State are, at this time,
about as able to support (each and
every one of them) a pinetoa and six,
as they are an A gricultural College,

able men to fill all the poii' ions grow
ing out of the establishment of such
an Institution, ready and waiting,
besides working for its success. There
is no use for any *uch thing. Ex*
perience baa taught our planters that
hard work and economy are the molt
essential points to be observed in tili?
ing the soil, and wherever this ia fol
lowed, it beats scientific farming con

poorest class. A shorter and plainer
way would be as one of our exchan
ges (the Abbeville "Medium") sug
gests : To paps t\ Pension Act- By
this all those candidates for a living
off of tho State, would be scooped in,
and the State exempted from having
the burden of a worthless institution
ou her financial shoulders. Of two
evils choose the least always?the tax
payers would prefer the latter. What

Hon. Jere S. Black, characterizes
as "unmitigated nonsanie" the con
demnation of Tilden for not having
seized the Presidency in 1877 and
having had bim.*elf inaugurated at all
hazard. The Baltimore "Sun" says
\ that "the very men who talk in this
I way would probably have boen
among the first to desert him and
cry out against him had he been fool*
ish aud selfish enough to attempt any
such thing. Mr. Tildea planted him
self upon the constitution then as he
does now." When history comes to
male up its verdict, it will bo written
