Inexcusable Persistency.
During a recent visit to New York
to attend the funeral services of Dr.
John 'P. Da by, Senator Hampton
?uttered the following to a Tribune
reporter: "If the Northern papers
would liy to got at the true disposi
tion of the Southern people it would
promote reconciliation. I know they
have sent able correspondents through
the'South, many of whom I have met
and whose correspondence I have
read. But I do not think they have
seen with Impartial eyes. They have
felt constrained to write to suit the
(politics of the papers they represent
ed. 1 refer as much to the corres
pondents of the Democratic press as
.of the 'Republican. At least, they
.have mistaken the true feeling of the
.-South. It did not attempt to accede
,for war, mid it docc not follow that,
ihccillSc it did not succeed in icayjftg
^tJhclJmo^ it.
^ This is lhe"oniycountry the Southern
people now have, and they wish to
4iiake it as great and as prosperous
us possible." It is indeed strange
?how por?rt?4ent Hie Northern papers
are, particularly Republican, in pub
lishing litters from correspondents
?vho arc prejudiced against the South
.and the wh\tc race. Letters Iroui
.such men as Rev. A. Webster, Bishop
Jlure.n and others of their ilk, bitter
.political enemies of the Southern
?while man, only pretended friends of
ihe Southern black man and interest-'
,nl in iiubodx's welfare but their own
;succc*s, arc willingly published, ea
gerly read ao-d strangely believed by
?the .Northern(poop4c. We venture to
jtuy .nine-tenths of the reports, put in
.circulation in their midst by such
men, are absolute and palpable falsc
Jioods, gotten up for political capital
to exults the baser passions of the
JNorll^rn people against the Southern
-whiles., and with the hope that the
.W.rUVers may glide Into some lucrative
'Oriioe upon the leu pest they raise.
These men enre but little whether the
white man or the .black mm sinks so
they snvim. They can glut them
selves upon the spoils from the
wrecks nil around them with not a
' single .concern about the stillerer?..
It is equally strange that good men
.coming.Sou Ji will atop .with Radical
leaders rather than old friends, or
.even .conservative Moifcherncrs living
among us. By such jnen their hearts
.uro poisoned nnd tiieir minds preju
diced liy \ixUm manufactured for the
purpose nnd testimony prepared for
just such cases. These gentlemen
return North and corroborate the
slories put in circulation by the press
And thus the Northern in ml makes
4ip its judgement on the Kouth after
henfmg only one .side of the case.
We Jiaye kn/>.v? IforUicrnors to visit
our section and return to their homes
as they en me witii but little nccura'c
information concerning Southern
.character. Their impressions at
least, seem so unfavorable as to make
them silent upon the question, wheth
er the prevailing belief among their
fellow ciiiaens as to Southern Jife
was comet or erroneous. If they
had taken the pains to obtain their
information from other sources than
<our opponents?political adventurers
and clerical sutlers?a different.com sc
would certainly have been adopted.
Wc admit there have been exceptions
to the rule. Gentlemen have thrown
bir their reserve, und, by communion
with our people, ascertained tho true
relation existing between tho two races
and have given the Northern people
the benefits of their investigation.
These, however, have been so few
in proportion to the many letters
written against us, as to make no
perceptible impression upon the
Northern mind, indeed, such writers
have been accused of having been i
bought up or otherwise unduly influ
enced by leading Democrats. Such
willful pcrveiscncss on the part of
our Northern citizens is unjust, un
reasonable and manifest a disposition
opposed lo a correct civilization.
Such a people love darkness rather
thun light and will not be informed
because correct information must
militate against their peculiar politi
cal dogmas and thereby destroy par
ty influence over the musses.
Colored Democrats.
The opinion prevails among our
colored citizens that a colored man
cannot be anything else thnn a Re
publican. There is evidently consid
erable misapprehension or to llic true
political position the citizen bears to
the Slate. In a Republican govern
ment like ours great political parlies
will exist ill order that the opinions
of one set of individuals may not be
come oppressive to another class.
The constitution recognizes the citi
zen as a controlling element in the
government and therefore ho is enti
tled to his opinion as to how the gov
ernment should be administered. A
number of citizens entertaining the
same opinion come together and or
ganize themselves Into a party the
belter to carry into execution their
peculiar views. These opinions arc
not based upon the color of the skin,
the race to which the citizen belongs
or the section of country in which he
happens to live ; but they should be
founded upon honest views as to the
most practical method of administer
ing the affairs of the government re
gardless of these accidental circum
stances.
Every honest man, who has the
welfare of his fellow citizen, in the
agrogate, at heart, will spurn any
such control over his political con
duct as will force him to occupy a
position his honest judgment docs
not approve. If a colored man, there
fore, entertain views in accord with
those of bid white neighbors, he, to
all Intents and purposes, belongs to
iho i; a mo party. To be consistent
mvd- W^trmtain . Ids^poUl'cal man
hood, lie mu6t so declare hufiselfadd
usc every houcst eifert to secure the
supremacy of his party.
We know quite a number of such
colored men?men who are Demo
crats now and have been from the be
ginning of their freedom. They are
honest in their opinions, nivl for this
honesty, they have suffered at the
hands of their tellow citizens of the
same race.
\Vc trust the time is near at hand
when the colored people will be suffi
ciently educated to think for them
selves, and will be bold enough to as
sert and to maintain their honest
opinions. When this is tiie case, lie
will be respected by his Pillows and
applauded in a course of conduct
where he is now condemned. Indeed in
view of the corruption of the last doz
en years and the niter failure of the
Radicals to better the condition of
the race, we cannot underload liow an
honest colored xuaia can be other than
a Democrat.
Tho Mew Bills.
Since the la6t veto of President
Hayes, the Democrats in Congress
have decided to introduce and pass
new Army and Judicial Appropria
tion bills, suUiCiently modified in
their previously objectionable fea
tures to meet the views of the Presi
dent. The Radicals, (however, bent
upon n "rule or ruin policy," have
determined to oppose the passage of
llic bills and to secure other vetoes
from the President unless they are
so altered as not to interfere in the
slightest degree with the control of
tlie Executive over the army, whether
it be to use it as a police force or not
as he may elect.
The Judicial bill has already pass
ed the Senate hy a strict party vote
which is a sure sign of a veto. So
far as the South is concerned, we
think very little stress should be put
upon the Army bill; what we need
most is the repeal of the test oath
and the law allowing supervisors of
elections and special marshals. The
/.ret is a disgrace to our statute book,
because it makes the Court to consist
on\y of a judge, instead of judge and'
jury together ; Ihe'sccond is unneces
sary and unwarranted, because the
law provides the modes of elections
and the mnungcrs lo conduct ihem.
These unjust provisions, however,
give the control of elections lo the
Radical party and they mean to holdl
il inaugurate a revolution,
The Judge of Probate.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:
Willi reference to the vacancy soon
to tako place in the ollice of the Judge
of Probate lor Orangeburg County 1
ask a small space. I cannot agree
with the article from "Justice." To
say that there are many of the one
legged and one-armed victims of tho
war as fully competent to (111 that po
sition ns the present incumbent is not
a fact, when the legal and geographi
cal qualifications of the parties arc
taken into consideration, while it may
be a fact when we consider the popu
lation of the States once composing
the Confederate Stales of America.
I lay it down ns an incontrovertablc
fact that no man is fully competent
to fill the ofllec of Judge of Probate
in this State, when wo consider the
jurisdiction of said Court, who has
not been bred lo the bur. The man
who has made the law a study, und
v. ho is fully acquainted with till of its
theory and pr,ae ice, its nice distinc
tions aud its broad and enlarged
equity, can alone discharge with in
telligence, faithfulness and exact jus
tice the duties which devolve upon
the J udgc of Probate.
The great mistake of our people is
to worship and honor the heroes of
the war. Other things being equal it
may be right. Hut when Ibis ulouc
is made Uie test of qualifica
tion and preferment it is all wrong,
To perform with faithfulness and ef
ficiency the duties of Judge of Pro
bale one must have made the law his
study ; must have put into practice
the teachings of Ibis grand science,
and must have fitted himself both by
study and practice, for the discharge
of all Ihe duties developing upon
the high and delicate position of
Judge. The rights of the people arc
too sacred to be delegated to those
(no mutter how worthy, honest and
patriotic they may be) who have not
been fitted and schooled for that
honorable position. There id no one,
I venture to say, who has a higher
and more exalted reverence and ad
miration for the bravo and devoted
Confederate soldier tlian your corre
spondent. For those of them who
suffered privations and wounds (in a
cause just and right, but nevertheless
"lost,") my whole nature is absorb
ed in love, respect and adoration ;
and in veneration and praise for their
patient suffctings, their brave deeds,
and their pati iotic devotion to jus
tice and right. But the rights of
person, of libcity and of property de
mand that the laws of our State and
^dunVry should, not oidy4)trtnitnkusteri
cd, but be administered with wisdom.,
justice and equity, and should not be
delegated to those who alone for want
of education and experience in the
abstruse science of the law are not
qualified to defend and protect these
inviolate rights of person, of liberty
and of property. I therefore, soy,
with all due respect and admiration
for the gentleman named by "Jus
tice" for the office of Judge of Pro
bate, that he cannot be as "fully com
petent :<?; the present incumbent"
who has been trainid and bred to the
law. Mr. Robinson is a personal
friend, one whom 1 respect and ad
mire, one for whom 1 would ordinar
ily work and vote, one who was fully
qualified for the position be held, one
who made a faithful and competent
officer, and one whom 1 would delight
to honor again for the same position.
The ??maxims of the law are these,
to live honestly, to hurt no one, and
to give every one his due." This I
have always endeavored to do. It is
due the present incumbent that he
should be renominatcd, he being, in
my humble judgment, the best quali
fied man for the position in the coun
ty. Let justice be done though the
heavens fall. Onb of the Peoi'le.

St. Matthews' Academy.
Middle St. Matthews,
June 10th, 1879.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:
Relieving that anything concern
ing the educational interests of our
community will bo welcome to you
and your many intelligent readers,
your correspondent asks space in your
valuable columns lo note the closing
exercises of St. Matthews' Academy,
on the 13th instant.
This institution of learning has
justly acquired an enviable reputa
tion, and has long been well and
favorably known to tho public. It
continues an ornament, honor aud
blessing to tho community under the
efllcient management of J. B. O'N
Holloivny, A, M., as principal, and his
worthy and accomplished assistant,
Miss Lizzie W. Chapman, who has
charge also of tho Musical depart
ment. Tho standard both of morals
and intellect, compares favorably
with the best institutions of the couir
tay, and is second to none. Students
arc here prcparod for any of our col
leges, and the rudiments of a broad
and liberal education aro taught, by
the latest and best approved methods,
Ums securing u solid foundation, on
which thoso may build who have the
proper energy and ambition, but aro
denied the benefits of a collegiate ed
ucation.
At an early hour on Friday tho pa
trons and friends of the school as
sembled, and were soon brought to
gether by tho familiar school boll.
The exercises were opened with pray
er by Rev. S. T. Holmnn. Tho morn
ing was occupied in an examination
of the different classes, to the interest
and delight of the audience. It
would consume too much space to
enter into details, and it must suflicc
to say that every child examined
acquitted himself well, and reflected
much credit upon tho teachers?espe
cially when it is remembered that
there was no "drilling," or as the
boys at college say, "cramming" for
the occasion.
The examination was concluded,
and after a short recess, the exhibi-1
tion, consisting of declamations, mu
sic and recitations began. The speak
ers did well, and several of them ex
hibited elements of the true orator,
which it is hoped will be successfully
cultivated. The selection of music
for the occasion was indeed a happy
one, and gavo evidence aliko of tal
ent and refined taste of the gifted in
structress. This part of tho pro
gramme was concluded with the pop
ular song "Grandfather's Clock," in
which the whole school united.
Then came another important fea
ture, which was doubtless, enjoyed
as much as anything else, for
"Lives there a man with soul so dead,
Who to himself hath never said,"
Oh! for something good to eat!
j Dinner was announced, and an invi
tation given. And such a dinner it
I was, as the good ladies of St. Mut
I thews and a few other places only
that the writer knows of, can provide.
Your correspondent was well cared
for and entertained, for which he
here makes his politest bow.
After this feast, t he children enjoy
ed and amused themselves in various
ways, seeming to recognize fully that
the happiest period in a school-boy's
life is "the last day at school," while
their fathers and mothers grouped
to discuss the graver questions of life
and smiled to see their children hap
py
During the afternoon the audience
reassembled, and before your corres
pondent had time "to take in his sur
roundings" he was called upon for a
a speech. Mr. Editor, did you ever at
tempt to make n speech after standing
at on?^ffthese7t>ig jlountry dinners
JtUUout warning or preparation? If
so, you can appreciate the circum
st nn.ee?. and very easily imagine the
result. Mr. J. 11. Mack was the next
victim, and responded by making
some very appropriate remarks, and
then excusing himself.
Rev. S. T. Hallinan, who is always
equal to any emergency, was next
called upon, nnd made an excellent
address. Dr. J. W. Summers, in
response to tho next call, gave some
wholesome advice to the young, in a
graceful and well timed speech.
Hon. M. J. Keller, whose presence
give pleasure and diguity to all occa
sions, was called out, and made a
brief hut happy response.
Thus ended these pleasant and in
teresting exercises; and thus another
bright and happy day was added to
the nighty post?one that will in
spire many with fresh courage and
zeal, as they go out again to battle
with the stern realities of life, and
which will serve to awaken pleasant
echoes in the caverns of memory as
long as life shall last.
May St. Ma'thews' Academy con
tinue a bright and shining light in the
community, shedding its genial rays
until the last vestige of superstition
and ignorance shall be banished.
Allow a few general items. This
community was visited on Thursday
of last week by one of the most ter
rific and destructive hail storms with
in the memory of the oldest inhabi
tants. The main track of the storm
was conQned to a comparatively nar
row area, but the injnry to the crops
and vegetation can scarcely be esti
mated or described. On Friday the
writer visited tho section on which
the greatest fury was spent, and cot
ton fields, that were flourishing the
previous day, looked, from a short
distance, as though they had not been
planted?nothing remained but the
bare stalks?with scarcely a leaf to
be seen, while corn wms so tattered
and mutilated that much of it seemed
in a dying condition. The principal
sufferers are: Copt. G. D. Hast, J.
L. Rast, Esq., Cnpt. M. J. Keller, F.
I. Gates and J. M. Moss, all of them
among the largest and most success
ful planters of this section. The dis
charge of electricity during tho even
ing was fearful. The cropa that es
caped injury are in fine growing con
dition, in this nnd other communities
that the writor has visited, and prom
ise an abundant harvest. Tho much
needed rain lias come; new life has
been given to the vegetable world,
and our people are refreshed uud en
couraged in their daily pursuits.
In conclusion you will be glad to
know Hint many kind words are
spoken about the Dkmocuat, and its
worth as a newspaper generally, and
in particular about the recent addi
tion of your educational column. It
should stimulate the proprietors to
still greater exertions, if possible, to
know that their efforts arc largely ap
preciated. Iua.
A Sad State of Affairs.
The ratio of divorce to marriage
has been ns follows during tho lust
few veins in four New England
Stales : Vermont, 1 to IG ; Massachu
setts, 1 to 23 ; Rhode Island, 1 to ]3 ;
Connecticut, 1 to 10. If Maine and
New Hampshire have a like divorce
record, the number of couples in the
New England States who make a
shipwreck of matrimony is about
at least eighteen hundred annually.
This is certainly a sad stale of af
fairs, and we publish it not for the
purpose of exulting over our Now
Englnnd cousins, but simply to show
that they are worse off morally than
the Southern pooplo, who, in tho eyes
of the average New Englander, are lit
tle better than the Hottentots. This
may be civilization, but, we must
confess, it is of a kind that wo do not
wish to see at the South.
