Inexcusable Persistency.
During a recent visit to New York
to attend the funeral services of Dr.
-lohn T. Da by, Senator Hampton
?uttered the following to a Tribune
reporter; "If lite Northern papers
would ti'y to get 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. Rut I do not think they have
seen with impaitial eyes. They have
felt coiiblrained to write to suit the
ipolitics of the papers they represent
ed. I refer as much to the corres
pondents of the Democratic press ns
.of the lvepl,bhenh. At least, they
.have mistaken the true feeling of the
.?South. It did not attempt to secede
,for war, and it doeo not follow that,1
iliccmsc it did not succeed in lcayj^
jMlmUnioii^ it.
This ib the only country the Southern
people now have, and they wish to!
.make it as great and ns prosperous
us postihie." It is indeed strange'
how persistent the Northern papers
are, particularly Republican, in pub
lishing h tiers from correspondents
who ore prejudiced against the South
juud the wbijLG race. Letters from
.such men as Rev. A. Webster, Rishop
Jluven and others of their ilk, hitter
qioltlicnl enemies of the Sou I hern
while man, only pretended friends of
the Sou'hern black man and interest-'
.I'd in nobody's welfare but their own'
;aucricflff, arc willingly published, en
.geily read awd strangely believed by
the .Northern people. We venture to
.nay ?nine-tenths of the reports, put in
.circulation in their midst by such
men, ore absolute and palpable false
hoods, gotten up for political capital
?to cxcitJ the baser passions of the
JNbrUjerii people against the Southern
?whiles, and with the hope that the
.w.ruVM's may glide halo some lucrative
tottioe upon the ten pest they raise.
These men caic but little whether the
white man or the. .Illach man sinks so
they smim. They can glut them
selves upon the spoils from the
wrecks all around them with not u
' single .concern about the sufferer?..
It is equally strange that good men
.coming.Sou.h will atop with Radical
leaders rather than old friends, or
.even -oonseriaiti&'c Noifcherncrs living
among us. lly such men their hearts
.ate poisoned and their minds preju
diced by ulcs manufactured for the
purpose and testimony prepared for
Just such cases.' These gentlemen
return North and corroborate the
stories put in circulation by the press
jand thus the Northern m ml makes
?up its judgement on the Souftli after
heating only one side of the case.
We Iinyc knova NorUverners to visit
our section and return to their homes
as they came with hut little neenra'c
in foj-i.ua lion concerning Southern
.character. Their impressions at I
least, seem so unfavorable as to make
lhcm silent upon the question, wheth
er the prevailing belief among their
fellow citizens as to Southern life
was correct or erroneous. If Ihey
hud taken the pains to obtain their
information from other sources Ihun
our opponents?political ndventurers
;ind clerical sutlers?ji different.course
would certainly have been adopted.
Wc uihn'it there have been exceptions
to live rule. Gentlemen have thrown
oil ih?h' reserve, and, by communion
with our people, ascertained tho true
relation existing between the 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 lo make no
perceptible impression upon the
Northern mind. Indeed, such writers
have been accused of having been
bought up or otherwise unduly influ
enced by leading Democrats. Such
willful perveiscness 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
than 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 masses.
Colored Democrats.
The opinion prevails among our
colored citizens that a colored man
cannot be anything else than a Re
publican. There is evidently consul
' erable misapprehension as to llic true
political position the citizen bears lo
the Slate. In a Republican govern
ment like ours great political parlies
will exist in 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 he is enti
tled to his opinion ns lo how the gov
ernment should be administered. A
numbqr 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 are
not based upon the color of the skin,
ihe 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
ngrcgalc, at heart, will spurn any
such control over his political con
duct ns will "orcc him to occupy a
posilion his honest judgment docs
not approve. If a colored man, there
fore, entertain views in accord with
those of his while neighbors, he, to
all intents and purposes, belongs to
Iho Qsiuo party- To be consistent
ravir td^jytflabtflin ? Idg^oUl-ical man
hood, he must so declare himself arrn^
use every houcst ctlbrt lo 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, rind for this
honesty, they have suffered at the
hands of their fellow citizens of the
same race.
We trust the time is near at hand
when the colored people will be sufli
ciently educated to think for them
selves, and will be bold enough to as
sert and lo maintain their honest
opinions. When this is file case, he
will be respected by ids fellows and
applauded in a course of conduct
where he is now condemned. Indeed in
view of the corruption of t he last doz
en years and the utter failure of the
Radicals to better the condition of
the race, we cannot undcrtand how an
honest colored Jinan can be other than
a Democrat.
Tho (New Bills.
Since the last veto of President
Hayes, the Democrats in Congress
have decided to introduce and pass
new Army and Judicial Appropria
tion hills, suflicicntly modified in
their previously objectionable fea
tures to meet the views of llic Presi
dent. The Radicals, ihoaever, bent
upon a "rule or ruin policy," have
determined to oppose the passage of
the bills and to secure other vetoes
from the President unless they are
so altered as not lo interfere in the
slightest degree with the control of
tiie Executive over llic 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 by 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
/irst is a disgrace to our statute book,
because it makes the Court to consist
only of a judge* instead of judge and
jury together ; the'sccond is unneces
sary and unwarranted, because the
law provides the modes of elections
and the managers to conduct them.
These unjust provisions, however,
give the control of elections lo the
Radical party and they mean to hold
it inaugurate a revolution,
The Judge of Probate.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat :
W!th reference to the vacancy soon
to take pluco in the olllce of the Judge
of Probate (or Orungoburg County 1
ask a small space. 1 cannot agree
with Mm article from "Justice." To
say that there are many of the one
legged and onc-nrmcd victims of the
war as fully competent to fill that po
sition as the present incumbent is not
n 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 States of America.
I lay it down us an incontrovertablc
fact that no man is fully competent
to fill the office of Judge of Probate
in lhi? State, when we consider the
jurisdiction of said Court, who has
not been bred to the bur. The man
who has made the law a study, and
*ko is fully acquainted with all of its
theory and prac ice, its nice distinc
tions and its broad aud 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 hone tho heroes of
the war. Other things being equal it
may be right. Hut when this alone
is made t?e test of qualifica
tion and preferment it is all wrong.
To perform with faiMiOjIncas 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 this grand science,
und must have fitted himself both by
study and practice, for the discharge
of nil tho duties developing upon
the high and delicate position of
Judge. The rights of the people arc
too sacred to be delegated to those
(no matter how worthy, honest and
patriotic they may be) who have not
been fitted and schooled for that
honorable position. There is no one,
I venture to Hay, who has a higher
and more exulted reverence and ad
miration for the brave and devoted
Confederate soldier tlinn 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 sufTctings, their brave deeds,
and their patiiotic devotion to jus
tice and right. But the rights of
person, of libeity and of property de
mand that the laws of our Slate and
^connlry should- not ouly^athiM?gicrr
ed, 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, say,
with all due respect und admiration
for the gentleman named by "Jus
ticc" for the ollice of Judge of Pro
bate, that he cannot he as "fully com
petent as the present incumbent"
who has been trained and bred to the
law. Mr. Robinson is a persona!
friend, one whom 1 respect and ad
mire, one for whom I would ordinar
ily work and vote, one who was fully
qualified for the position he held, one
whe made a faithful and competent
officer, and one whom 1 would delight
to honor again for the same position.
The "maxims of the law arc 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 roan (or the position in the coun
ty. Let justice be done though the
heavens fall. One ok the Peoi'LE.

St. MaIIhews' Academy.
Middle St. Matthews,
June 16th, 1879.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:
Believing that anything concern
ing the educational interests of our
community will he welcome to you
and your many intelligent readers,
your correspondent asks space in your
valuable columns to note the closing
exercises of St. Matthews' Academy,
on the I3th instant.
This institution of learning has
justly acquired an enviable reputa
tion, and has long been well and
favorably known to the public. It
continues an ornament, honor aud
blessing to the community under the
efficient management of J. B. O'N
Holloway, A, M., as principal, and his
worthy and accomplished assistant,
Miss Lizzie W. Chapman, who has
churgc also of the Musical depart
ment. Tho standard both of morals
and intellect, compares favorably
with the best institutions of tin? COUS'
tay, and is second to none. Students
are here prepared for uny of our col
leges, and tho rudiments of a broad
and liberal education aro taught, by
the latest and best approved methods,
thus securing a solid foundation, on
which thoso may build who have the j
proper energy and ambition, but are
denied the benefits of a collegiate ed
ucation.
At an early hour on Friday the pa
trons and friend.-; of the school as
sembled, and were soon brought to
gether by tho familiar school boll.
Thn ovnrnjoos v.cro opened wtili pray
cr by Rev. S. T. Holman. The morn
ing was occupied in in 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 suflice
to say that every child examined
acquitted himself well, and reflected
much credit upon the 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
tion, consisting of declamations, mu
sic and recitations began. The speak
ers did well, and several of them ex
hibited elements of tho true orator,
which it is hoped will be successfully
cultivated. The selection of music
for the occasion was indued a happy
one, and gavo evidence aliko of tal
ent and refined taste of the gifted in
stnlclrcBS. Tin's part of tho pro
gramme was concluded with tho pop
ular song "Grandfather's Cioek," in
which tho 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,
\Vln> to himself hath never said,"
Oh! for something good to cat!
Dinner was announced, and an invi
talion given. And such a dinner it
was, as the good ladies of St. Mat
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, the children enjoy
ed and amused themselves in various
ways, seeming lo 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 ot life
and smiled to see their children hap
py
During the afternoon the audience
reassembled, aud 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 a speech after standing
at onj^iof1uie8e7l)ig jio?htry dinners
.without warning or preparation? If
so, you can appreciate the circum
stances, 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. Mailman, who is always
equal to any emergency, was next
called upon, and 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 dignity io ail occa
sions, was called out, and made a
brief but. happy response.
Thus ended these pleasant and in
teresting exercises; and thus another
bright and happy day was added to
the ncighty past?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 ns life shall last.
May St. Ma'thews' Academy con
tinue a bright and shining liglit in the
community, shedding its genial rays
until tho lust 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 confined to a comparatively nar
row area, but the injury to the crops
and vegetation can scarcely be esti
mated or described. On Friday the
writer visited tho section ou 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
bo seen, while corn was so tattered
and mutilated that much of it seemed
in a dying condition. The principal
sufferers are: Copt. G. D. Rast, J.
L. Rast, Esq., Cnpt. M. J. Keller, F.
I. Gates and J. M. Moss, nil of tham
among the largest and most success
ful planters of this section. The dis
charge of electricity during tho even
ing wus fearful. The crops that es
caped injury are in fine growing con
dition, in this and other communities
that the writer has visited, and prom
ise on abundant harvest. The, much
needed rain has come ; new life has
been given to the vegetable world,
and our people are refreshed and en
couraged in their daily pursuits.
In conclusion you will be glad to
know that many kind words nro
bpokcn about the Dkmociiat, and its
worth as a newspaper generally, and
in particular about the recent addi
tion of your educational column. It
siiouid stimulate the proprietors to
still greater exertions, if possible, to
know that their etforts arc largely ap
preciated. InA.
A Sad State or Affairs.
Tho ratio of divorce to marriage
lias been ns follows during tho lust
few years in four New England
Stales: Vermont, 1 to IG ; Massachu
setts, 1 to 23 ; Rhode Island, 1 to 13;
Connecticut, 1 to 10. If Maine and
New Hampshire have a like divorce
record, the number of couples in the
New England Stoles who make a
shipwreck of matrimony is about
at least eighteen hundred annually.
This is certainly a sad state of af
fairs, and we publish it not for the
purpose of exulting over our New
England cousins, but simply to show
that they are worse off morally than
the Southern people, who, in the 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
j wish to see at the South.
