Be sidc8!.this there was as dangerous an element to contend against, develop ing4 itself in our midst in the s'u.ipe of Indepcudentism, from disaffected Democrats and Fulnry-loving ollice seekers?men who arc ever ready and willing to transfer their allegiance to any party that would divide the spoils without consulting the honesty of the ncasure or the principle in volved. Such were the forces in the field rgainst which Democ racy had to con tend, and such was the bush-whaek ing policy the enemy adopted to de feat the honest intentions of the citi zens of this count}*. How they fail ed? ignominiously failed, and how gloriously Uic battle was won by the truo Democrats, white and cMorcd, the records of the last, election will certify to the .rJtfridT' Undje'r'vn'e leadership of our noble cf^hty chairman, Gen. fid at, and the strong snpport of the executive com mitfre, the pnr^y of the peoplu wou the field and forever established the Fiiprcmacyof right over might, intel ligence over ignorance and honesty over dishonesty. To-day finds Or-' ungeburg occupying her proper posi tion in the line of Democratic coun ties and her people enjoying the rights and Immunities of a govern ment they ought to control. Well may it bo said, therefore, that this is a promising period for Orangeburg county, as weil as for f^outh CaroHnn. Every department of the government feels the pressure of ibis success: instead of having a erenturo whose hands are deeply stained by crime' to sit in tho chair once honored by Calfioun and \Ie Dullle, we have the embodied wisdom and purity of the people in the person of Wade Hampton to representthem in the halls of the Federal Congress;, instead of having Chamberlain, with his heart corrupt by ollicial perjury to sit in the executive chair of this honored commonwealth, we have the people's choice in the person of Gov. Simp8ou to control our Stnte affairs; instead of a bought and fold judicia ry to judge the law ami to reward, crime, wo have the honor and the dignity of our society upon tho bench in the persons of our judges save t wo ; instead of a mob of ignorance, vice and low political cunning to pit in the chandlers of our Slate capita! to legislate in the interest of crime and dishonor, we hnvothe J^roper^ repre sentatives of the da Ch(istmas;Treo. ST-iiMAirrni ws/Dcc. 28, 1878. Editor Onxiujiburg Democrat: I had the pleasure of attending a Christmas Tree Festival yn Christ mas eve, at the school house, the pn rons of which are Dr. W. C. Whet stone, Messrs. J. Hi Arant and Win. Panlling. The teacher, Mrs. A. R. Z., suggested the festival to the patrons only a few dayn befoie ; and, taking into consideration the short space of time together with the ages of the child)en, it was surprising to^ali who attended how great, a success the af i fair proved 16 be. The Tree, 'brill iantly [illuminated with minature can dles and literally groaning beneath the weight of dolls, books, gloves, neckties aud other articles too numer obs: to mention, presented n sight well calculated lb please the visitors as well as the children of the school. The exercises commenced at G o'cldckvlV Mi, with music by Mr. J. M. W.', and a charade, "Welcome," by Edna W. and Mamie A.' ,Tbis was followed by an extract: spoken by J. Syy^yext came ? chf^dftiff Essio W. and Sue A., which pleased the whole audience.., Sarita Claus wo? next' rendered 1 by Master R. 1). Z., whose oratorical powers, if cultivated will not have many superiors. Buz zing Bee, by Emma W., and Court ing Babies^ by Edith P., biought forth such applause as to shake near ly all the prizes from the treo. Last and best of all, there was a Spelling Bee, which ended in Master lt. D. Z.'s getting an' elementary speller and Mamie A. the first prize as she was the last on the stage. ' The part of the exercises that glad den the hearts of the children most came at last, which was the distribu tion of the articles on the tree. The teacher called a few friends to her aid and soon stripped ,the treo of its precious burdens, and in a short time every scholar in school was loaded with Christmas gifts. The teacher 'deserves great credit for the manner IM i "'. i in which she has advanced her schob' ars, and for the love and kintHy'feel ing tlfat existttmoug-thc^pupils. The Washington Post says: A person by the name of Hayes writes [a message ot (Congress, ?e which we lind the following ; "It is the right of dvcry citizen, possessing the qual ifications prescribed by law, to cast one unintimidalcd ballot honestly counted.' And if that right hadn't been sold out by fifty-seven thieves, whose names we could give if we bad the space, and bought by Rutherford B. Hayes, a gentleman by the name pf Saumel J. Tilden would be send ing messages to Congress, which this same Mr. Hayes would be read ing at his (juiet little home in Fre mont, Ohio. The trustees of Mount Sinai Hos pital, (Hebrew,) New York, after !turning the matter over In their I minds, have concluded not to accept Mrs. A.' T. Stewart's donation "as proffered ;" that Is to say, they will not accept it through Judge Henry Hilton. The latter will find that the large nnd influential class which be so causelessly insulted a few years ago will not condone his olfenco for the sake of a few dollarB aud cents. Senator Hampton. Tho last reports from Columbia slates that the improvement in the condition of Senator Hampton is gra dual and satisfactory. His friends are in line spirits and the citizens throughout, the Slate share this grati fying news with them. We trust I that these brightening hopes may re shlt in his early restoration to health. .
