j THE ?RANGEBUR6 NEWS ? SATURDAY, JAN. 15,1870. MALCOLM /. /t&OWtflXG, M?pr. r' Republicanism Outside of the Union leugne. It it a well-known fact tout there arc a large and increasing number of native J^South Caroliuinns, to the ^'manor born," tneu who used to be ^fire-^ating'' seccs stoniats, stubborn rebels, and extreme democrats, before, during, and after, the War who have now renounced their pre judices of the past, and their opposition to the change in the condition of the colored man and iu the entire theory of our State government. In this large au4 increasing class there are men of ability, wealth and influence; men, who, submitting bravely to the change, aro wining to contribute their intelligence, and talent to tho State; in plain words are willing to accopt office m the State, aud to do a fair part by both classes of our population. Why is* it that these men, ere kept out of place and power to do good ? Ask the colored man, and, those who are in the secret councils of the party that govern him, and they say, "We cannot trust these men. We have no faith in their conversion. They'have a purpose in view!" 'Veil! what is the test of political conversion ? How may he prove himself sincere ? By joining the secret party organiza tion ; by becoming a member of the Union League; by parading through the streets upon its celebrations. This is the test, this the proof of his sinceri ty, and trust-worthiness These extreme radicals always "desire a sign," a test. At first, it was the test oath, now it is the masonic sign-manual, known only to the initiated in tho mys terious and awful secrets of the Union League. Now, wo ask, su all fairness, what is this tcst< worth ? Is it not proof posi tive of an intention to get a place in the picture, a loaf and a fish, an office?? Most assuredly it is. Is it not possible, that there may be men of high worth, character and intelli gence, more able and more williog to do justice to both parties, who recognise every right given to the colored nan, by his changed position, who are opposed te secret political societies, upon princi ple, and who see the.injurious results of the power of tho party falling into the hands of a few, a clique t In other other words may there not be better re publicans outside of the Uuion League than there are in it f Why, as the nomination and election is now conducted by tho party machine ry, the colored man has a franchise, but not a free ballot. He must vote the blue printed ticket put into his hand by the nominating convention, or woe be unto him I The dire anathemas of the se cret inquisition will be uttered aud exe cuted against him. Is this freedom of the ballot ? Deci dedly not. Tho colored man will have to get a second emancipation from this Jesuitical influence that enslaves and fetters his freedom of thought, action and ballot. Tho initiated will tell you that, the members of the nominating conven tion are elected by tho people at largo, and so the nominee is their choico at Ust. It is an undeniable fact that the more Stages this election posset* through, the more it is corrupted. What prevents the members of the nominating conven tion from joining hands and, nominating them*o!vea and their personal friends.? Let thorn do this, and their decision is final?there is no appeal. Let any ve to dare to vote any other than the oih cial tioket chosen by the nominating con vention, and he will be anathematised, and oxcoiumunicatod. It is too danger* oos a power to entrust to the - keeping of this committee. There is certainly reason in this ob jection to this , party machinery. Ja a man who entertains this reasonable ob jection to this modu* operandi, to be dis trusted f Must he join hands with the ring and bo initiated by, we know not what fearful ordeal, and parade with the League, to bo contsidored an honest man, s*>one who rill do right to all parties ?nd all classes ??: The compliance with these terms, the exhibition of this test, '^a strongest suspicion of an avaricious, m^t ?flW' pecker ! Vy this plan of Operation?, there is no possible chance of tbe honest and modest citizen, being called by the Voice of tho people from i his retiremcn^to serve his State, Ciu einuatus wfh uevcr be called>from his plow ! Only the shrewd aud wily poli tician, plotting and scheming for a fat office, can ever secure the nomination. No, wo say away with this teat, and this party trickery aud machinery. Let the people meet en matte aud nouiiuato their candidnto, and ?ct every man vote for whom he pleases j Aye, say they, this will break up the power of tho party ! It will certainly break up tho power of the clique, into whose hands this dread power has fallen, but it will increase the power, the parity, and the freedom of the people's ballot. The colored man is free, but he has yet, unfettered, uu?hack!ed, free from the secret power of the party that rules him, to go to the ballot-box aud vote as ho pleases. Let him be emancipated, for his own sake and for the sake of the people at largo. This thcu is certainly, not a^true test of a loan's political position and princi ples, but a well-contrived plan to keep the power of this party iu each section oh tbe State iu tho bauds of a few, who share the spoils and share out the leave* and fishes, perhaps, casting lots for dif ferent offices. Let the colored man, we say, have his second emancipation from all this trickery! In the efforts of this clique to keep out uow-couiers, and to keep all the fat things and glory iu their keepiug, we aro reminded of the speech of king Henry V. to his soldiers. What's he that wishes for more men ? * * * * * The fewer men tho greater share ef honor. I pray thee do not wish for one man more. ***No faith not a man.*** I woulp not loose, inclhinks, ?o great an honor As only one man innre may abnre from me, For the best hope I hare, O! do not wish one mere. State or South Carolina, Oranokbi'Ro County. To the Hon. It. 11. Carpenter, Presiding Judge, Pint Circuit: The Grand Inquest for said County of the January Term, 1870, bog leavo to submit to your Honor's consideration the following*presentment: We have visited nil the public offices am? buildings within said county and upon a careful examination thereof are prepared to report to your Honor that their respective conditions reflects much credit upon their occupants. The Jail we find to be a substantial structure; competently calculated to sup ply tho purposes for which it was erect ed; Mr. Lucas will complete it in a few weeks, which, when done, onr county, ns was said in the present immediately pro ceeding this one, can boast of having a placo not only secure for the safe custody of prisoners, but nlso for tta beauty, ca paciousness aud durability. Tho various apartments of the Jail are kept in a cleanly and healthful con dition. Some of the prisoners complain ot not being furnished with sufficient to eat, but the Grand Jury respectfully sub mits that they are unable to say whether this complaint is made by the inmates sim ply because they are prisoners, and henee not satisfied with anything connected with their condition, or whether it pro ceeds from a want actually experienced. Wo have carefully and minutely in vestigated, as directed by your Honor, tho alleged carelessness on the part of the Sheriff and Jail-keeper said to have resulted in the escape of some of the prisoners from the Jail, and we find that said escapes did not result in consequence of a dircliction of duty, either on the part of tho Sheriff or Jailer, but hap pened thus: It appears that the lower doors of the Jail were uot finished at the time, and thekeuper could not, as he docs now, secure them behind him on going up to give the to mat es their food ; and this they appeared to have known, as their actions show ; for it was while the Jailor was in tho act of introducing their food through the door, that they jumped upon him and choked him down, thence making their exit, there being no obstruction below, as above stated, to prevent egress after their sell doors had been opened. But this can oeenr no more, aa the doors below and above have been comploted and are strong and secure. And the Grand Jury are of the opinion that 'tis impracticable fof persons hereafter to osoape from tho Jail, If its Keoper judiciously obsorves his duty Tho Poor House we find in a proper condition; the paupers aro well fed and taken care of otherwise. The Offices of the Clerk of the Court, Sheriff, Judge of Probate, and that of tho Auditor with the rest, we report kept according to system and method But there is uuo deficiency iu each of them ? ?I mi iiiisa i^pgaew'^MaajaaasciarT*^^ SO plainly apparent that we cannot Urge the ticecarity of supplying of it with too much importance. In each of these offices there are private and public docu*< ments, and records of vast consequence, and yet those who are so much interest ad in their security and preservation from from fire, tnui. if it comes, see them swept away, perhaps, in a minute's time. There are, for instance, to the office of County Auditor, the books containing' the recent assessment* of* the personal property of this County, the tux on which has not yet been collected* Now these alone, if destroyed, would cost the County over two thousand dollars, (for a re-assessment would nccc?sarilly follow,) more than would purchase aafes for each of the offices. Aud this .ie only one item. There are; in the office of Probate Judge bonds to the amouut of two hundred thousand dollars, iu whose fate many are vitally interested, yet ihey have no guarantee of their non-destruction. But as a more potent argument iu favor of what wo urge, wo have only to cite your Honor's attention to tho losses v. hieh Beaufort. County' recently sus tained in tho destructieti of her Court House by fire. There were uo safes there uud the public archievea, documents aud records were alt destroyed. We would therefore, urgently recom mend that safes be furnished to all the public officers iu whose contents the pub lic aro so much interested, aud private citizens have so much at stake. s^ We would also call your Honor's at* tention to the fact that when J ururs are summoned here to serve the State, at a great expense to themselves, 'twould be but right, when paid off iu Jury Tickets, to have some arrangements made to have i the Tickets cashed by the County Treas urer as soon as the Juries ?re dismissed. There are many, known have Jury Tickets, given to them for two Sessions back, who have not been able to have them cashed yet. Kven the merchants will not take them at fiO per cent dis count. Aud iu the mind of the Grand Jury, some screw must entirely bo loose, or turning iu the wrong direction. And in conclusion wc would say that there are four persons at the Poor House, living upon the public, who are able te support themselves if discharged there mjoj. All of which Is respectfully submit ted. J. FELDER MEYERS, Foreman. Boings In Columbia. The legislature re-assembled on the 5th instant. : A communication was received from citizens of Beaufort, praying the form ation of a new County, to he called Cooaawhatchie. The enacting clause of a the Bill to regulate the sale of cotton," was stricken out. The real purport of this B 11 wan to prevent tho sale of seed cotton. l)e Large gave notice of a'* Bill to ex tend the.limits of the City of Charleston, and to provide for the election of muni cipal officers, therein, which received its first reading. The bill extends the city limits to the Six-mile' house, and to tho Goose-Creek line, and provides for a city election, at the next general election in October. The Bill will undoubtedly, pass.
