OTE! ORANGEBURG NEWfiL^ PUEL13HED WEEK^j^ ORANGEBURG, S. C. Office. 0/ Publication on Market-Street over the Post Office. ip SAMUEL DIBBLE, Editor. VIRGIL C. DIBBLE, Asaooiuto Editor. CHARLES H. HALL, Publisher. Washington .News. & MAY 2.?Judge ?uderwood issued to-day a i Writ of habeas corpus directing tho command ing officer of Fortress Monroe to bring Mr. Davis before him on . the 13th. The writ was ] obtained by Judge Shea. It is understood that the writ will bo obeyed, and that Mr. Davis will not bo' remanded to tho military custody. May 3. Judge Underwood? District Attor ney Chandler, and Mr. Davis' Attorney, O'Con nor, are in the city for tho purpose o? con sulting Attorney-General Stanberry regarding %ho writ of habeas corpus for Mr. Davis. If the Government obeys tho writ, which is prob able, bail will he tendered and tho prisoner enlarged. The Hon. R. J. Walker addressed the Su preme Court to-day in a speech of three hour? duration, which is considered a masterly effort. Ho said that constitutional liberty and self government we're 4iow on final trial, and it was about to be decided for posterity in all the worh^ylifethbr writtcu constitutions were parch ment scrolls, words written in sand, to be swept away by the first angry surge of popular passion, whether they can bte evaded by tech nical issues or plea of want of jurisdiction. A broader bill of attainder and pains and pen alties had never been passed, reducing 10,000, 000 of loyal and disloyal people to territorial . bondage^ and substituting the gleaming sword and bristling bayonet for constitutional guards and courts of law. The case was continued uutil Monday, when Attorney-General Stauberry will reply. May 6.?Attorney-General Stanberry closed his argument in the injunction cases. He sjtoko as to the general principle denying the jurisdiction of tho Court, no basis by which re lief could be given. Only two out of ten States affected were here. Eight were content. The Attorney-General said that the Su preme Court might so act as to induce Con gress to destroy the efficiency of the Court, by impeaching Judges on false accusations, or by denying the salaries required for their sup port- It rested with tho people to secure hon esty in the Legislature, and to this basis we ' must look for the preservation of rights of citi zenship and tho integrity of the State Courts. The Court then adjourned. Tho TJse of the Ballot. Governor Orr,.of South Carolina, lins just made a speech to a number of the new citizens "of his State. In his capacity as G ovcrnor he was expected to advise these political neo phytes as to the proper course for them to pur ?tmc?to imbue them with the knowledge he had gained during a persistent course of office holding statesmanship, and to instruct them in the art of vot ing. To such a source the inquisi tive enfranchised ought not to loots in vain for illumination. Surely, if any one is capable of throwing light on such a subject, it is a gentle man who has illustrated in his own history the workings of the ballot-box, and who has mau aged to got elected to a great many important offices, without possessing any superfluous quantity of merit The newly invented citi zens of South Carolina must certainly entertain a high appreciation of the powers of the elec tive franchise when they Gnd what it has done for Governor Orr; just as in this State, they must have gained an exalted notion of its effi cacy by observing what it effected for the gen tlemen who were elected to office in 18GI. Hence, it is not surprising that the colored voters of South Carolina applied to Governor Orr for instruction before deciding on their future political course. We have only a brief telegraphic synopsis of the remarks which the Governor addressed to Iiis fellow-citizens on this important occasion, and, therefore, wo arc precluded from laying boforc.Our readers tho whole of his speech. That is a luxury which they have yet in anti cipation. But it is gratifying to know that we nro notlcft entirely ignorant of the Governor's views. When we have becu informed of the main point of his programme, it is, perhaps, superfluous to inquiro for more. Indeed, his plan is so comprehensive, and yet so simple ; so efficacious, and yet so intclligiblo, that we only wonder that nobody ever thought of it before; and should esteem it almost an impertinence to ask for arguments in its favor. In reply to tho momentous questions, "What shall wc do?" pr} in other words, "How shall wc vote?" ho inform:' the colored people that the best thing for them to do is not to vote at alL He tells them that they must not attach themselves to cither of the two parties now disputing for su premacy iu tho country; that they must avoid the Republican party as a sham and a humbug, and the Democratic party as a dolusion and a snare, and wait to join tho groat party which is to contpriso the peoplo of both races in the South, and everybody at tho North. Of course, nobody will deny that such a party would not bo only powerful, hut invincible; nor would anybody bo guilty of tho fatuity of opposing a party which is to include everybody. Hence we must concede that the- Governor's ndyico was eminently sagacious and sound. But it Would, no doubt, havo been very ngreeablo to his hearers to be told when this political mil lenium is to commence; when this political happy family is tobe organised; when the Re publican lion and tbc Democratic lamb arc to lie down togotber, and abovo all, of what par ticular U80 it would bo,for anybody to vote, just at that time, when votes shall have become altogether unnecessary and superfluous. In tins point of view tho suggestions of Governor Orr do not aocin to bo vory practical. The nowly enfranchised citizens ask for light on the political questions of tho day, and ho replies by blowing out tho lamp of knowledge. They want to know how thoy shall vote as between tho two great parties, and ho tells them to vote with neither tho ono nor tho other. Thoy ask to what party thoy shall then ally themselves, and ho answers -'to that party which shall arise when there aro no longer any parties." The inference from all of which is that tho ques tions now heforo the country arc of no particu lar moment; and that tho only use ot the bal lot at presont is. to elect Governor Orr, and such like, to be Senators and members of Con gress.?A7". O. Crescent, May 3. THE ORANGEB?RG NEWS. SATURDA Y, MAY 11,1867. While we reserve to ourselves the right of defi ning our own. politicalposition by means of our editorial columns, tec will be pleased to publish contributions from our fellow-citizens upon the grave questions which now agitate the public mind, whether their opinions coincide tcith ours or not. A district newspaper, we consider, should be an index of the various shades of pop ular sentiment in the section of country in which j it circulates. Our columns arc open, therefore, for any communications properly written, accom panied by a responsible name, not. personal in their character," nor absolutely injurious in their tendency. District Destitution. The cry is going forth from all sections of our State,?"Clivc us bread, or wc die." This unparalcllcd state of distress, which exists in some Districts to such an extent as to bring many to the verge of starvation, calls for the earnest efforts of those who can, to alleviate the misery of their fellow creatures, especially when they are their neighbors, and perhaps the wives and children of those who stood side by side with them in trying hours of danger. Orange hurg is not as destitute as some other portions >f.thc State, it is true; but it is getting worse and worse every day with us, and unless active, vell-dirccted efforts are put forth, the murmur of starvation, now beginning to arise in our midst, will gather into a loud and heart-rend ing wail of human anguish. Under these circumstances, what is to be done, to avert this impending calamity ? .Vic think that much can be accomplished by sys tematistng charity. "We. uro glad to ^^ipagfofr i served the appointment of a committee *^^bWW zens at this place, for the purpose of collecting and dispersing District contributions, and we are confident that when they make a report of their labors, it will be seen that much good h;us been thus done to the suffering poor. "Wc would suggest it as a good plan, to have similar committees in every Beat throughout the District, to ascertain the names of those who are really destitute, and to collect contributions from those who arc in more favored circumstances. In this way, each Beat can in a measure relieve its own distress, and its Committee can then report to a Com mittee at this place, what they are unable to do of themselves, and the names of all the really destitute among them, so that further relict can bo extended. This will obviate two evils of the present system of a single Central Com mittee : First, that they arc sometimes liable to imposition, and distribute to those who make the most pitiful representations, hut arc not the most needy^ Ln reality ; and secondly, that they may occasionally be led to withhold assist ance from those really necessitous, on account of malicious reports of parties, attempting to wreak some private grudge, or gratify some petty spite. In making these suggestions, wc do not de sire to east any reflection on ti good judge ment or commendable efforts of the present Central Committee to do good. There is no doubt that thoy arc discharging their duty to the best of their abitity, and that they are fully competent to this noble work : but how much could their good purposes be assisted, had they the co-operation of Boat Committees, such as we have above suggested. ?????--? i?ii ?. "South Carolina a Home for tho Indus trious Immigrant." This is the title of a neat and attractive pam phlet, published under the direction of Gen. Wagoner. Commissioner of Immigration, and intended for circulation abroad, in the view of inducing industrious foreigners to turn their course towards our State, in coming to nook their fortunos in tho New World. The pamphlet is well calculated to sot forth fairly and candidly tho advantages offered now by this State to all who sock a homo with in her borders : and concludes with a list of a number of tracts of land oficred on liberal terms, to new settlers. Wc were sorry to find that while all our sis ter Districts were represented, there was not a single aero of Orangeburg laud offorcd world. When we consider that this pamphlel is to bo translated into foreign languages, 'add to be circulated abroad, wo regret that so fine an opportunity of advertising their lands has been neglected by our largo landholders,' who, in many instances, we know to bo desirous of selling. Tho offer of Gen. Wagoner to pub jj8i'-rt.bisjgratuitous advertisement was duly in serted in our c\?.1umn8' and ?PP?*?* ?n'.two issues, several weeks ago. ^ Even now, it is not too l?tc for !*W d9s*' ing to sell real Estate, to havo lllc',r ,a?7? registered upon tho -books of the Bureau hi Immigration in Charleston,so that any desiring to invest iu real property may become acquaint ed with thojr terms of sale, and some good bar gains may be made in this way; ' ' tmt ? Wo clip tho following from tho Dnntfury (Connecticut) Times, of tho 2d inst. As 'it shows public Sentiment in that State, wc pub lish it for the benefit of our readers: "The Firemen of Charleston, S. C. held a parade on Saturday. Previous to starting, it was discovered that an American flag was not in the procession, whereupon Gen. Sickles ordered that one bo placed in the front, and attended by a guard of honor, and at the re view should occupy a place before the stand, and he saluted by every one passing it. Gcsier's order was obeyed, and with a cheerful alacrity that will probably encourage him to suspend his shirt nest." Tito Tost Oath. The following is the oath required of Mutia gcrs of Rcgistra*ion and Elections under tic Military and Supplemental Acts; but is not required of voters: I,-of-County of?'-and Sta^ of-do solemnly-that I have nevwir voluntarily borne arms agaiut the United .States since I have been a citizen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid. countenance, counsel, or encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto; that I have neither sought, nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise the functions of any office whatever, under a|ry authority, or pretended authority, iu hostility to the United States; that T have not yielded a voluntary support to any pretended govern ment, authority, power, or constitution, within the United States, hostile or inimical thorcso. And I do further-that, to the best of xdv knowledge and ability. 1 will support and df-?| fend the Constitution of the United States ?fc?ijtst all enemies, foreign and domestic; tlmt I will bear true faith and allegiance to tjno same ; that I take this obligation freely, -J)r nu discharge the duties of the office on whit lam about to enter : So help me God. -and subscribed before me. thi day of-, A. 1). 1864. South Carolina in tho Richmond Bazaar. The following from the Enquirer <(? Sentinel of Saturday is the first notice we have of South Carolina to the Memorial Bazaar at Richmond: THE PAT.MKTTO TttKK, the emblem of South Carolina, next attracts our attention displayed upon the State shield and accompanied by the motto 11 Dum Spiro Sjirro." The tree is formed of palmetto leaves and the canopy of tho table is wreathed with similar leaves and garlanded with grey moss. Vases of flowers, bright and odorous, are scat tered over the booth in rich profusion, setting off to fine advantage the numerous elegant articles, all of which we are informed are to be had for a dollar, this being a prize table. A toilet set of Bohemian glass, some elegant perfumery flacons, a bridal toilet box of white silk and a rich jewelry case are donations from South Carolina, as are also sonic other articles; but the most of the articles here displayed arc contributions from Richmond. A fine picture of a young girl, a fancy sketch, is also the handiwork and offering of a young South Carolina lady, and some very pretty artificial work, tastily' encircled with shell-work, arc the products of one of Carolina's fair and faithful daughters. A pair of screens, beautifully em broidered iu beads and worsted, will attract the attention of the ladies and are presents from Mrs. Gilmour, formerly of Richmond, but now residing in England ; and an elegant Canton crape shawl, valued at 8100, is also a donation from England. A pair of richly embroidered sofa cushions aro a present from Charleston, and are worth more than a passing notice. Our Charleston Letter. Charleston, May 8,1867. About fifteen hundred negroes and two hun dred white persons?the former generally en thusiastic, while most of the latter were sim ply curious?assembled on the Citadel Green, on last Friday afternoon, as auditors of the Great Republican Apostle, Senator Wilson. Dr. A. G, Mackey,.whoso political notoriety is not hounded by tho city limits, presided at the mooting, and after praynr by tho Rev. Ran dolph (colored,) introduced the Honorable Orator to his audionce. On the platform were representatives of both races and all parties ; the Radical olonicnt naturally predominating. The Senator's speech, which consumed about an hour and a half, was, throughout, intensely partisan and illiberal, and. on that nccottnt, 1 doubt not, acceptable to tho majority of tho large concourse. He disinterred issues long dead and buried, reviewed the history of South Carolina, and arraigned the bid State and the principles advocated by her groat men during tho past fifty years, beforo his tribunal of sublo judges, whose cultivated minds and'impartially trained moral sense fitted them, as he doubtless thought, to decide equitably upon the merits of the questions discussed. He avowed himself as opposed to nny antagonism of tho races South, and yet insidiously disseminated opinions and Hontimcntfl, whose natural harvest would be i*1"",conc,*cn^*c dissension. And his seed ?*n stony ground, for most of was nou sown up- J ? ' . . ?? . ~Mv couvmccd that the freedmcn were Iuoroufe. m ... '??bicct of South Carolina of the psist wan aD deserved contumely and repudiation, ana M**1' her present and future could only be redeemed by a close affiliation with tho doctrines of Radi calism. In the evening, at Hibernian Hall, ho again delivered himself to a large congregation of | freedmcn and their parasites. As. his entire audience on this occasion was supposed to be altogether Radical in their views, he, after re peating his afternoon discourse, devoted him self to advising in regard to the approaching registration and the Convention elections. His course was not at all moderate or conciliatory in character; in fact I have heard the address characterized as an intensely inflammatory har auguc. _ How much the work of reconstruct ing is stimulated by such honest and peaceful missionaries, and to what extent a spirit of har mony is fostered by satire and vituperation. Senator Wilson and his magnanimous people may be able to calculate. We can hope for no favorable results to follow this novel mode of | peace-making. The negroes have not availed themselves as generally as was anticipated, of the privilege of riding in the street cars, conceded to them last week. On Sunday afternoon, they crowded every car, and in dense masses rode to and from the Battery until dark; but since then, comparatively few have been seen riding. .Many of our white citizens have, fur the pre sent, withdrawn their patronage frum the com pany, but is probable that in a mouth or two, most of the gentlemen who were formerly guests of | Mr. Rigg's conductors, will renew their uld re lations. The omission of the.company to make special provision originally for the freedmen. has been, by many, severely censured, as ren ^during necessary the present wholesale conces Bntr; Hut um tvls certain ^ttiat no discrimina tive arrangement would have been satisfactory to the negroes or their advisers, and as their right to ride with the whites would have been ultimately conceded and enforced by the ''pow ers that be.'* 1 dont know that the animadver sion is merited. Special cars might have tem porarily suffered, but the abrogation of all re strictive regulations was in the end inevita ble. The Union Republican Party of the State is now in Convention here. Their meetings arc lield at Military Hall. Delegates arc in atten dance from only six or seven Districts, and the present effort to fully organize the party will boa failure. The President of the Convention is a negro ; among the V ice-Presidents. Epp ing, the United States Marshal, holds a con spicuous position. One of the Secretaries is Ruht, .fames, formerly a printer here; now having swallowed and digested the Test Oath, an officer in the Custom House. Roth, no doubt, feel highly complimented. A panorama of Ireland, yrlrjyt "Hibcrni eon." is on exhibition at Hibernian Hall, and is well patronized by tho Fenians and their friends. Every night the hall has been crowd* cd, and each allusion made by the lecturer to poor Ireland and her wrongs, has been boister ously applauded. Fcninnism, though at pre sent dormant, is not dead. The sons of Green Krin seen determined never to harmonize with old England, and many, in the face of repeated failures to organize a successful rebellion, still persistently cling to the anticipation of wit nessing the emancipation of their father-land from the British yoke, "f is pleasant to be vic tims of a delusion, when the delusion is a pleasant one.

Daniel Webster was right whefl iiP rc.ma. cd of the press : "Small is the sum requires to patronize a newspaper; amply rewarded, its patron, I care not now humble and unpretend ing the gazette he takes. It is next to impos sible to fill a printed sheet without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price." The Examiner has information, that tho session of the United States Court .in Virgin in will be prolonged until after the adjournment of the Supreme Court, when Chief Justice Chose will come here, aud preside at the trial of M r. Davis. L. H. Chandler, tho "prosecu ting attorney, is now in New York consulting with Evarts, and Mr. Davis'? counsel, about the trial. Mr. Davis will probably be brought here on Saturday, and then- be held by the civil authorities until the. trial. Chase is ex pected next week. The Charleston Daily Xiwssnys : "We learn by a letter that on Sunday afternoon a disas trous fire occurred in Winnsboro, resulting in the destruction of Mount Zion College. The particulars are very meagre, and we only know that the origin of the fire was accidental.

He also imparted to this gentleman the fact that he was short of I means, and unable to pay the sum required at the hotel if he remained in the city. lie was therefore persuaded to take boarding iu the house at which his friend stopped, No. 408 South Fifth street, kept by Mr. Vivian. Night before last Clewcll was more than usually down hearted, and his friend asked him to go to the Varieties. This he refused, alleging that he felt like having a chill. When the gentleman returned from the tbreatre. he found his room mate very ill. Drs.

The Coroner was called upon yesterday, an inquest was held, and a post mor tcm examination made. It was found that he had taken a large amount of morphine, and some of the drug was fouud in his pocket. A bottle of prussic acid was found in his trunk unopened. Clewcll had talked to his friend about killing himself, aud showed him a fare veil letter which he had written ; but the gen-: tlcmnn persuaded liim to give up the idea and destroy the letter.
