The Secretary considers that the fact iu quoatiou "leads to ouc of*two conclu Bious.rtamcly, our County is woM suppliod with, the Bible, or th3 destitute have no means of applying to the Society fur tbc relief they uecd." Wc would be glad, in tho intcrct-tof the uhurcb, to believe thut the Secretary's iilteruatfv-c doea, iudeed, embrace all the possibilities? wo trust, sincerely, that it comprehends all tbc probabilities?ol the Situation.

And that conclusion?wo shudder as wo write?is, simply, that for sotno irre ligious individuals even gratuitous Bibles mid Testaments bate, precisely, ?no charm whatever. OUR CANDIDATES. General Graut was born in Ohio, in J822, and is consequently in the fiftieth year ?f his age. lie gradusted ut tho National Military Academy at West Point, in 1813. 11c entered the Mexi can warns a second lieutenant, and was promoted to the rank of first licuteuant, for gallaHt and mer'torics services at the battlo of Lcaputtepee. He was also quarter-master. Ho was made captain in 1853. Resigning his commissi-)n, ho retired to private life, till the break ing out of the war. He thcu raised a regiment of vbld'n tccrs, and was commissioned as ooionel. His history as a soldier is familiar to all. Ho steadily rosa ; till all the Federal armies wero plied under his command, and he was. Universally rcoog nized as tho first military man of the ffgc?tho soldier, who of all others, com bined the elements of a great an J sue ocssful General. It was but natural that tho gratitude of the nation, for his militiry prow .193. in crushing the insurgent busts of the rebellion, should niako them desire to see him President of tho Republic he had saved. Nothing succeeds like suc cess. Ho had shown himself equal to every thing ho had undertaken. No task seemed too great ; no obstacle too difficult for him to overcome. Despite all tho calumnies that his jealous and ambitious enemies have cast upon hi n, the expcc'atiotiB of the pooplo have been more than realized. The soldier became a statesman as by intuition, and unex ampled success has attended l:is admin istration. The debt has been diminished at the rate of nearly 51 OO.OOO.OOO n year. Corruption, that old inhoritunce of the 1 )cimcratie party,?and not co n pletely eradicated during the turbulent scenes of war,-~hus been forreted ouj and puuithed. Tho difficulties of re-? corstruction, with all its trying and delicate detuil, hare been successfully carried forward ; so that prosperity has followed general disaster ; pcaeo and sccurit}' now reign where violence and uiurdcr abounded; the worst passions of men have been soothed, and the people have con.o to justly believe in their hearts, that, despite the aspersions anil calumnies id' political demagogues, Grant is the most kindly disposed to wards the South of any man in the na tion. The country believes this; the best portt?n of the Southern people believe it. ULs ability, his pa;riotism. his success, nie unquestioned ; und the country feels that as the man best fitted lor the Presidency of the Republic lor the next term, Gfritd. stands pre-eminent above ull other citizens, and all of our statesmen, although we have many whoso uamcs will illumine the pages ol history for all coining time. Hon. Henry Wilson, U S. Sonnt or from Mn-saehussets, was no uinnted tor Vice President ou the first ballot, re ceding votes to 3211, votes for Col fax. It has bceu conceded fot many mouths that the nomination for Vice President lay between Wilson and Col fax. The contest was supposed to be a close one, crcn up to yesterday, but was conducted iu tho very best spirit The South Carol ma delegation support ed Wilson. Henry Wilson was born at Fuming ton, N. II., February 10. 1812, and is ! GO years old. His father dying when j he wus a child, his mother was left in ! extreme poverty. From tho age of 10 t.? 21 he was bound to a fanner and received at the , end of i hat eleven yo;;rs labor a yoke of oxen and six sheep. He sold his stock lor 881, and afterwards went to Natick, iu Massachusetts, learned shoe-making, and rose through all the grades of the business till he became a wholesale shoe dealer. Iu 1S41 he entered the political arena by being elected to the Legislature of his Slate. He was successively elect, d iu 'd2, '11, 43, '-lb, '60, 51 and T>2; the last two years presiding over the Senate. During part id' this time he owned mid edited the Boston Republi can. iu 1853 ho was - ti.cuibcr of the Statu Constitutional Convention. lie wus elected to the I'uito J States Senate iu 1855 as a Republican, to till tho uu expired term of Kdwurd Everett, who had resigned. He was re-elected in '57, '05, and '71. In 1850 he became an active officer in the Uniformed State Militia of Mas sachusetts, and on the brenking out of tho'wur in 'Gl, ho raised a reginicut aud entered tho service as Colonel, lie was afterwards on Gouorul McClullun'^ ituff, whoro ho scrvt d until he was obliged to rcsuuio his Congressional duties. S Mr. "Wilson has had a reputation for many years. His commanding abilities, | his simplicity aud purity of character, his high sense of honor, ol right and justice, and his spot less integrity have given him a leading position as a states man, philanthropist and patri? t union,; tho groat men of our time.? Columbia Union, 1th instant. [CO M M U NICATEP.] Annual Meeting of tho Orangeburg Bible Society. ThoOrangoburg County Bible Society held its second annual meeting last Sabbath evening in the Baptist Church at this place. Tbo meeting was called to order at 8} o'clock, by President Itcv. V. Auld. Upon his taking tho chair, the hymn "Buck of Ages,""was sung by tho congregation. The meeting was then opened with prayer, by Vice-Presi dent Uev. .1. I). A. Brown, after which the hymn "I. t everlasting Clones Crown,"?was sung, the minute* of the last meeting read and eoufirincd Tho following Annual report of the Snciity was then read: ORAKaEBURO S. C. May 31st 1S72. To the Ojfic rs and Members of the Oran^eburg Count// Bible Society : In presenting this my second annual report, for tbc past year. 1 feel that not as much work has been done, as the commencement of the yo.tr give jr reason to hope forp and the interest in the Society baa not been as groat as it ought to have been. During the whole j year there hisb.'on but one application for ? gratuitous distiibutioti, aud that i was lor a Sunday School Scholar. This fact leads to one of tv/o conclusions, namely our County is well supplMH with the Bible, or tbo destitute have no means ol applying to this Society, for tho nij ply tbey need. II the former is the case, wo have great reason to be thankful,- while if those in need, have no means of reaching ibis Society, some stops should bo taken to find tht in c ut, that they liiay have their wants supplied, and I would request that every member of this Society, seek out all cases of need, and report the fact to the Deposi tar uo, in order that those who have uo Bibles and no money to purchase, may receive Scriptures ''without moticy and without price." Another fact) I would call the atten - tion of tho Society to : Not one of our Churches ont.sid.Mif ? ur town have at all identified them selves with this Society. This in a great measure restricts the usefulness of our Society, and I would suggest to the Executive Committee that they look in to the matt r, and ad pt some plan, by which the ntteution of tb i (!h'irches throughout the County may bo brought , to the importance of this work. \Yc have but one assistant in the County, while ma^y more should be employed iu the interests of this good work. It is encouraging however to state, that the existence of our Society is be coming mc.ro generally known, and. 1 have reason to know, that it h is ai le 1 several of our County Sun lay Schools vory materially. Muuh yet remains to I bo done. Moro liberality, appreciation of the Bible, and its importance to the. } County is needed ; hearty co operation, faith, prayer and work, with the bless in-; of our Divine Master, and the Bible cause in Orangcburg County will ox trt a greater influence.
