Knowlton & Lathrop, 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 sides, should ho be ronotuin.ito I, Badical orators and journals will take I what is said against him now to light us with in 1880. Don't you romcmhor 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 fight for the redemption of the Stale iu 1876? Let these same papers take care that they are not fillint? tin ?hi?? 1 der for the use of Radicals agaiust [For the Orangcburg Time*. "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, at Columbia. Oi course there are 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 ducted on a credit, at least 50 per cent. The Stato would be proud to com pensate her worthy sons for all they have done in lifting ber from under the iron heel, but she is too po >r; bo sides, the poorest citizen of the Stato is to-day ersn in the c?c-riucca mido for the accomplishment of this end work having been performed by the 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.

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."
