THE ORANGEB?RG NEWS SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1869. t?AD. C. ANDREWS, Editor. MALCOLM I. BROWNING, Associate. m% FELDER METERS, Associate. The Agricultural Society Again! Our readers remember?certainly the Agricultural Society (?) remembers?en editorial in our paper some weeks ago, on the- above subject, in which wc de plored and protested against the Agri cultural Society of this county being constructed upon the basis of the Demo cratic Club. We predicted then, that instituted under such unfavorable aus pices, the enterprise would probably end iu failure Now, we believe that the gentlemen who have organized the Socie ty,ia Ve not yet despaired of the success of their undertaking, but though few in numbers, they are making a vigorous ef fort to perfect its organization aud estab lishment. Whilo wc do not modify our views as to the political complexion of J its lirst organisation, while we still re gret the attempt to erect it upon the "Democratic platform," and while wo still four that, this clement lurking in its foundation, is destined to prove an ac tive influence for its own destruction, yet we can afford to be charitable and MB fw, magnanimous enough, to say, that ccr tsisly much praise is duo to the gentle men who have started and are working j hart! to1 carry the idea. ^Remembering the fate of these cntcr prisej?n the past, we fear that this ef fort will not succeed ; but we are broad viewed, aud public spirited enough "to waive our objections to the modus of its organization, and to say that if this is the^only trau in which the Society could be started, now, that it is started, let all jon*;iu aud add tbeir mite towards its perpetuation. , Tu spite of the analogy of the fntc of these ideas in the past, and in spite of this clement of "dead politics" which has insinuated itself into its system, let the farmers of the County rally to tho support of those who are making tho ef fort to establish an enterprise in our midst, which must prove an incalculable We do not protend to say, that the former article iu our paper upon this subject, bad any influence, hostile to the ?enterprise, by preventing, or dissuading persons from joining with and assisting th? Society?but wo wish to be under stood upon the subject. Wc of course, approve and endorse the idea of an Agricultural Society iu the County and because we were anxious that it should he a success, regretted und deplored that it should have been started upon that DeWocrntio basis, which might prove an element of weakness und cause its fail ure?-and now, that it seems to have a beginning, however small, wc arc willing to waive our objections, and contribute our humble influence to aid and further its advancement. Wo look upon tho idea from too high aod'tVwiuterostcd a point of view to fear that wo will be misunderstood. Wc rccoguize it as too great an advan tage to the County and tho Community, to bo frittered away aud lost, iu small and partisan disscntions. Seeing that it would aud must prove a benefit aud a blessing to our people, wc were anxious that it should start rigid aud now that it has started at all.* wc are anxious that it should succeed! Every citizen, and especially every newspaper has a duty to discharge to their fellow-citizens, iu regard to every one of these enterprises for the public good, which cannot, be slighted or disre garded. It is a part of this duty, that the influence of every man and of every newspaper, however slight that influ cuco may be, should be exerted to start these enterprises right, and under aus pices favorable, to their success ; and it is a further and a higher pait of this duty that, if his fellow-citizens start such enterprises, even under disadvantageous surroundings, to waive his opinions upon the subject, and to contribute his pait to their furtherance and advancement. This is our sense of our duty in this matter, apd wo feel that our performance of it must not be deferred, by the fear of being misunderstood' aa either change able or sycophantic-. We commend as worthy of all praise the effort being made by the gentlemen who have formed r.r.A are endwrvoring to establish the Agricultural Society of Orangeburg. We wish the undertaking success and would urge upon our farmers to come forward and join-tha Society?io make it practicable, by having it composed of practical farmers, who are personally in terested in its objects and purposes! However it may result or however we may ii?w be misunderstood, this will be upon the record, that the Oranobbubo News, thought that tho Agricultural -Society ought not to bo a Democratic Club, aud after it was, after a fashion, started even upou this political basis, that paper exerted its influence to aid and further its advancement and per petuation. Fast. Tho Charleaton Daily Nrtcs of a re cent date has in it quite an elaborate editorial on the supposed tripled alli ance between England, Franco and Spain against the United States which winds up as follows : "Our aim should be to make the South as far as possible independent, so that if the war-cloud docs burst over this country, wo may be in a position to ride out the storm with but little loss, aud bo able to take every proper advantage of its chances aud con ticgenccs of the future." We understand you Mr, News, but say in confidence, the "chances and eon tingences" to which you doubtless al lude, will never come, besides, there are others than the elect, to whom they will be equally tangible There is some wisdom, there is good judgment displayed in a woman's hous ing young chickens when she hears the brooing of a storm that she thinks will distress them, but she looks mighty ro i I diculous when she sits down and com mences to count them upou her fingers before they arc hatched. The disgraceful exhibitions, or per formances of the City Council of Charles ton are an everlasting disgrace to tho Re publicans aud citizens of Churlcstou. Such men must be kept out of office. Such disgraceful scenes, brought about by low-bred scoundrels who have worked themselves into. DositiijD^jji^ly^FjvpuMi can party, must ho stopped, and .the sooner the better for all coucerucd. We think that poor Charleston has suffered tremendously and she has our sincere sympathy. If she can possible hear this last hotrible affliction, a bright her day will yet dawn for her. Such scamps as now disgrace her City Council are short lived, aud we hope their end will he the halter. Tuk United States and England. ?The New York Times thinks wo ought not to be surprised at the attitude of England on the question of the Alabama claims. It holds that we rejected the treaty because it did nothing to humiliate England; because it did not stipulate that she should cat dirt in our presence, and clothe herself in sackcloth, as well as pay the damages direct and incidental she had made us suffer. It thinks Eng land is too old and stupid to acquire the habit of humiliating herself readily. It thinks she will rather fight than apolo gize fir a wrong she asserts she never committed. It contends that Mr. Stun ner's speech has alienated every friend we had in that country, and turned the tide of feeling throughout the kingdom overwhelming]v against us. Tf says: "It always strikes a genuine American with profound amazement to find that any person or any nation ran ever take any but an American viow of any ques tion., What suits our interests ought to suit ' everybody's. No nution hos any right to feelings or opinions different fronf those which it suitB our purposes to entertain; and tho fact that any nation doo^ hold different sentiments, either touching their own affairs or touching oum, is the best, possible evidence of utter wrang-headodneS'', stupidity and malice on i their part. It would not be amiss for. us to get over this habit of thinking Eoriiewhat. It may minister to our vahity and self-love, but that is not what wcj need most. It certainly does not incroase our self-rcspoct, in any proper souse of the word, while it tends to make usi ridiculous in the eyes of the world." ! New York is to havo a mongter rail wlay corporation, embracing all the "JVandorbilt roads," the New York Con tiral, Hudson Rivor, Harlom, Buffalo and Krie, Lake Shore and Michigan South < ra railways,, which are'to bo consolida ted with so aggregate capitaL of $160, {000,000. TlIK APPnOACHINO ELECTIONS IN Virginia.?By order of President Grant a proclamation will bo issued in Washington today fixing the 6th of July next as the day for holding the election in Virginia. The State paper provides that the now Constitution shsll bo sub mitted to the electors. Separate votes will be received as to the issue, by ap proval or rojeotion, of the oitizen dis abilities and test-oath clauses, but on no other special poiuta of the instrument. According to appearances it is estimated that the white voto under the now regis tration may be increased twenty thousand. At tho former registration it exceeded tbc black vote by about fifteen thousand, and presuming that tho latter registra tion will not reach the ratio of tho white, it is calculated that the white conserva tives will have thirty thousand prepond erance in tbc state if they bring forth their whole strength. Wo notice from tho local correspondence of Richmond papers that while in the Eastern. South western and middle portions of the State the greatest enthusiasm exists in the causo of the Conservative candidate for Governor, Colonel Walker, iu the valley there is an apathy among a portion of the people which is pronounced dcplora blc. One writer from the Volley says:? ''I do not meau that Walker is not the choice heic, but that numbers of our citizens, with a hendstroug obstinacy, persist in the old fogy "do-nothing, pol icy that will bo productive of political suicide, if they do not wake up to the vital issues uow before us." It is bIbo stated that the places of registration arc so remote and difficult of access that many conservatives will nut spare the time nur take the trouble to register, and hence they will lose their vote This feeling of indifference should uot be per mitted to contiuue. If native Virginians wish to bo restored to former political rights and positions under the Govern ment they should arouse themselves to the importance of instautand co-operative action, and realize the maxim that "Etcr uul vigilance is tho price of liberty." Commenting upon this point the Rich mond Whig remarks:?"The Virginian or Northern or foreign citizen and sct ler who fuils to acquire by registration tho right to vote will subject himself to the suspicion of being desirous to do in directly what he has uot the manliness to do directly?that is. to aid iu the clue tion of Wells and in fixing disfranchise ments and disabilities upon those who uro bone of his bone and flesh of bis flesh." Thcrofore it will bo made to ap] car when election day comes how far p.nd how ?focply tho While caucus iu Virginia appreciate the political situa tion in that State.? X. }'. Herald loth. TiiK State Assessm knt.?The Char leston X' irs learns through official sources that, according to the returns already in from twenty-nine Counties, with two more to hear from, (Iliehland and'Char leston,) the indications are that the amount assessed as the value of real and personal property in tho State will not exceed $130,000,000. The probabilities are that the State Board of Equalization will raise the assessment of property to about $200,000,000, in order that the per centum of taxation shall not exceed one-half of one per centum, or fifty cents ou 8100. To fix the rate of taxation with an assessment of 8130,000,000 would be very nearly $1,00 on the hund red. The returns of personal property arc universally very much below what was expected. For instance, the whole number of horses returned is 42,000, and the highest average seventy-five dollars. The returns of merchants' stocks are also far below expectations. In the matter of real property thoro is very lit tle difference iu the present valuation over that of 1 Sl>7. West Florida to be Sold to Ala ham a.?For many months past the State of Alabama has been endeavoring to purchase that j rtion of Florida lying so convenient to its own territory, and known as West Florida. For several days the Commissioners of the two States have been busily engaged in ne gotiating a settlement. The matter has been decided so far as the representatives of each State were concerned, as follows: The portion of Florida West of the Apalachicola is sold to the State of Ala bama for the sum of $1,000,000 of Ala bama bonds. The bonds to be delivered when the deed is ratified iu accordance with law. This sale or transfer has to be voted upon by the people of West Flori da, aud after being ratified by the Ala bama und Florida Legislatures, is to bo rejected or approved by Congress. Some of the details wo have not learned, but tbc above are the uiaterial facts.?An ' gutta Chronicle. From the Sandwich Islands.? The feeling iu fuvor of uuuexation to the United States is increasing rapidly. The last census shows that tho native popula tion is rapidly decroasiug, and tbc for eign even more rapidly increasing. In 74G libel suits uow pending against American editors, the aggregate damages to character arc estimated at $40,500, 000. A ?aslifui Bride on her Wedding Tour. While we were making arrangements to pass the night (we cannot say sleep) in the sleeping oar which carried us from Macon to Montgomery, Alabama, aud ju'it aa we had begun to wish for u better bed, the cars stopped at a small station, and a blushing couple, '-hold of hands," came into the car. Their ap pearance us they stood hesitatingly in the doorway, showed that they meant ?'mischief," and were just starting out on their wedding tour. "Would you like a berth, sir V said the lively, jolly faced conductor of the miserable sleeping ear. "No, sir?I recon?as may be?that aint what we want," stammered the bridegroom, "llaiut you got no bridal chamber on this ere kenr?" "Oh, the bridal chamber?" exclaimed the conductor. "Come this way, sir." The couplo went trembling through the car to tho "state room," which look ed about as much like n state room on a Northern sleeping ear as a cell in the county jail appears like the Parker ilmiKi? narJor. i-? "Does that door shut up?" anxiously inquired the bridegroom. "Oh, yes. See how it slides," said the conductor. "But Put durued if I sec any place to sleep," suggested the applicant for the chamber. "Oh, we'll fix that, if you will be seat ed, said tho conduct .r. pointing to a low, hard sofa on tho opposite side of the cur, close to thu head of out curtained couch. "1 don't like it so there-,' whis pered the bride. "Don't like whet?" said her partner. "I won't go no further, I won't if you keep t? Iking ?o." '?What have I done, I'd like to know? '" "You told him you didn't sec no place to sleep, and I don't think it was usin' me right." "Well, I don't see no place now. neither. If we've got to bo tucked away I in that little hole, we'll haft ter stun up all night that's sort in " "Let's go back, Johnny; I'm afraid to ^o any further." "Oh, no, don't lot's go back.

Hut you hadn't orter he so , fro id' o folks now we're married." This seemed to quiet her grief, and nt the next station the afflicted couple left theVars. having paid for the "state room." and we heard him, as he stood on the platform outside, remark that: "That ar Sleepia' kcar was dog goncd small quarters for married folk.?Jiufftm Tm idler.

He is uot yet quite up to the spirit of the times.
