The day was all that could be wished for, b?ing almost faultless, and the crowd was large and enthusiastic. Everything worked like clockwork, and passed off without a hitch or accident of any Kind. Tne grand procession left the depot about noon and arrived at the stand a little later when the exercises of the diy were concluded in an appropr late , manner. The procession, which was under command of Grand Marshal Samuel Dibole, w*3 quite long and imposing, Grand M-irsnal Dibble was is sis led ia the discharge or uis ieapuuajble duties by Assisiaar.

Closing up the procession came the veterans of infantry, cavalry and artillery?the heroes who survived tne shock of battle, to whom this day was like a leaf from the sacred past. The old veterans were under the immediate command of Capts. T. A. Jeffords and N. N. Hayden. There were several bands of music in the procession. THE CEREMONIES OF THE DAT. After the procession reached the stand in front of the Courthouse the regular ceremonies of the day took place in the presence of a large crowd of people. After music the proceedings were opened by prayer by Rev. S. P. H.Ellwel!, of Columbia. Immediately after which M. O. Dantzler, Ejq, presented Grand Marshal Dibble witb a sword made of flowers, suytng that it was given by the ladles in recognition of the zeal he had shown in erecting this tribute to the fallen heroes. Marshal Dibble, amid great applause, said that he thasked the ladies from the bottom of his heart, and that be joined in the joy at the consummation of a work worthy of the women and of which the women were worthy. Judge Izlar then announced that Gen. Hampton had beea prevented by sickntss irom being presenr, and he called upon Marshal Dibble to read the following letter: r?Viaplr?ttoQvi1ln Va Hi't. 19 18(13 Gentlemen: When tbe ladies of the Memorial Association of Orangeburg honored me by an invitation to speak for them at the unveiling of the monument dedicated to our heroic dead, I felt that their call was equivalent to a command, and that the theme they bad given me was the most sacred that could appeal to a patriotic h^art. Feeling thuB, I accepted th? flittering invitation given to me, and 11 ?oked forward with pleasure to an occasion which would ?ive me the uppor- i tunity of showing my respect for the fair and devoted women of the State, and of meeting such old comrades as those in whose hearts the memory of the past was s1 ill held sacreJ. It is, theretore, with xreat regret that I am forced to forego tne gra'ilication of being with you on the 18th, but I am not well enough to take part in the ceremonies of the day. For nearly three months I h ive been coulined tu : the house by inuisposition, but 1 hoped that the change of the climate would restore my health, but in this hope I have been disauDointed. and I can only express m> regret at not bemg aide to : joiu our trien-js, and to assure them that I am iu full sympathy with the sacrrd object they nave in view when i they dedicate a monument to our heroic dead. They died for South Carolina, ; and whatever verdict history may render as to the cause in which tbr-y died, their patriotism and their heroism will illustrate the brightest pages pages of i American history for all time to come, i It Is well, then, that we should honor their memory, and it is peculiarly touching and appropriate that the noble, devoted women of the State should leave to luture generations an enduriDg memorial of love, of pride and of reverence for the men who gave their lives for their State. The monument to be dedicated to these men symbolizes these teelings, and it will "teach our children to cherish the memory of their patriotic lathers as long as its spotless shaft points to heaven: "And you granite minstrel's voicelesf stone Id deathless song shall tell When many a vanquished grace ha: flown, The story how they fell. Nor death, nor wreck, nor winter' bliarnt Nor Time's remorseless doom Can rob one ray of holy light That gilds their glorious tomb.'r With my sincerest jrood wishes fo the success of the contemplated meet in?, and my great regret that I canno participate in it, I am very truly, you friend and fellow citizen, ? AiJi. naarwii. To Messrs. Jas. L. Sims, N. H. Bui Theo. Kohn, W. L. Izlar and B. JH Moss, Committee. These sympathetic words from Gee Hampton elicited great applause. THE ORATION OF COL. ARMSTRONG. At the conclusion of the reading o Gen. Hampton's letter Gen. Izlar ic troduced "With a few kind words th gallant and ever-ready Col. Jame Armstrong, of Charleston.

His word pic tures were as charming as ever and hi tribute to the Confederate dead was a hamisomeana as touching as is conceiv ble. Col Armstrong's oration was heart ily applauded.

Wl The folio wing is the report of the com mittee on resolution, of which Gov. B, Mi R. Tillman, of this State, was chairman, Wn as submitted to and adopted by the late trj Bimetallle Conference at St. Louis, Mo.: fa< We. your committee, respectfully re- BB< port the following resolutions for yonr ^ consideration: Whereas, The producing, manufactur- ^ , ing, mercantile financial, transportation j.( and other business interests of the United States are paralyzed by a patent and universally confessed lack of sufflcient actual money to meet the rcquirment of legitimate trade; and. Whereas We believe in giving full and equal legal-tender power to every dollar bearing the stamp of the Government rr which alone gives a money vaiue; ana, jl Whereas, The gold and silver produced In the mines of United States are necessar7 for the requirments of the country coin, it is essential that Congress take such action relative to the coinage of the two money metals, as will restore silver to the position it held in 1873; and. Whereas, The present deplorable condition of the producing and all other industrial and commercial interests is the legitimate fruit of a vicious financial, system, established by and maintaineh in toe interests ot a plutoracy whicd threatens our liberties; and Wne> eas. United action is necessary between tbe parties to any common in* tereets to secure important and lasting results; and, jf Whereas, By geographical position, diversity ol God given agricultural, industfial and other natura capabilities and resources, tbe Western and Southe' n States and Territories of the United A States are happilv fitted for mutual In* tercourse and dependence, responding alike to the same beneficent or detrimental influence* and effects, whether legislative, financial or commercial; it is El tbe sense of tbis convention that in view of these faces of the continued flagrant disregard of the vital interests of the great producing States by tbe dominant influenced In national centers, financial and political, that a closer alliance between* the iubibitants of tbe West and A South is imperatively demanded for tbe purpose of mutual protection and advancement alun.' all legitimate lines. We assert that while this is true of tbe Qnntk.nn onr? Waal am Sintaa if. ifl ftlan OUUIUCIU nuu fV ? WW true, that Ibe manufacturing States of ibe East cannot enjoy prosperity, while * the South and West are depressed and gui are not provided with the money with i?a which to purchase the product of their pa) fatories; and we declare that all materi- j al matters which effect the general pros- of penty of our country, the several States are and muet of necessary be interdependent; and, **! Whereas, The coinage of silver upon the basis herein demanded has repeatedly been invited and is conceded to be necessary to the upbuilding of trade the relation of incalculable magnitude be- wi tween the United States and our sister noi Bepublies of North and South America, hit It is therefore mn] Resolved, That we demand the free ^ an J unlimited coinagc of silver at the . established ratio of 16 to 1, givin to such coin equal tender, powers with gold; ' Secoad? That we are unalterably op- 056 posed to the repeal of the so-called at Sherman law, except by the passage of me a law providing for the free and unh- tile mited coinage of silver at the established ratio of 16 to 1. I Third?That our Representatives in bei Congress instruct th? chief executive to fal issue a call for an early convention of all ^ notinna intarnRtad in and favorable to ? the free coinage of silver at the ratio ot 16 to 1 for the purpose of establishing closer commercial and dnancial relations with them. A. Fourth?That the total amount of gold now in existence or capable of pro* duction under the stimulus of its increased value is totally inadequate to qq supply the demands of the world for money, and the adoption of the single gold Btandard will result in universal bankruptcy and ruin and we declare that such action on the part of our Government would be a fla- ^ grant violation of the Constitution of the United States, in that it would impair all existing contract and double the obligations of all debtors, and we declare it to be the duty of ail patriotic citizens to resist in the courts and at the ballot box, its adoption and enforcements, if adopted. Fifth?That we are opposed to the further issue of Government bonds, and I* declare that the real purpose of the proposed issue of bonds is the perpetuation of the national banking system to which we are unalterably opposed for the reason that it enables a tew selfish individ- 5 uals at their pleasure to coo tract or expand the volume of the currency to the ^reat Injury of the masses; and we dea financial acotpm whinh Will nrf??

Sixth?That we urge the speedy im provement oy tbe National Goveanment _ of all the great waterways and particu- ? larly those which drain tbe vast agricultural region ot the South and West, and we invite the active cooperation of the great mercantile interest in securing the L. creation ot more direct routes to the ocean, in order that our products may j reach tbe markets of the world at a miu' mum coat. (M Sevenih?That we send greetings to ?pol tbe Representatives and Senators in Congress wtio bave stood by tbeir by pledges made before eleciiou and are L contending for the rights and interests of tbe people who elected tbem. We wa tbank tbem in the name of the American liberty, and we hold in undying con- 1 tempt those who seek to betray us and p]e make this country a financial dependency of Great Britain. B. R.
