THE ORANGEBURG NEWS OfiO?Ot! lfOlMVKIt, VnrAKciAi, and BriBiRiaa Mahaosr. Official Paper or the State and of OrttnKcburg County. SA^URBAT, MARCH 8,1873. Political Morals. f-tlt?tj Tu .I* . . 1 here ja certainly policy in good mor als, bat experience haa aliown that thcro is very little morality left in politics. The great Tammany exposures and later thoso'of the Credit Mobilier, and rf Ponieroy's bribery reveal a picture of a want of moral principle among men high in honor and position, that is per fectly appalling. Corruption, the amassment of sudden and fabnlous fortunes, committees of investigation and ruin is, briefly, the career of alas! too many of the most trusted and honored servants of the people. Indeed so common is the evil, that a univeisal stigma is thrown upou politics Every candidate is suspect ed : ever office-holder condemned. What is the cause of tins prevalence of crimo in high places ? fCNbt to put too fino a point upon it," it Jtrsttfiply the auri sacra fumes, the accursed lave of gold. Too many men seek office for pelf and self. Partisans on either side ascribe this political immorality to the platforms and organizations of the different par ties. IIoW absurd! Pulitical priuciples so caj^ed have do connection with individu al integrity. The one is a matter of opinion tho other a matter of moral perception and duty. A may believa in the doctrine- of State rights, 15 msy not, yet both bs equally honest. No* 'Apolitical dogma has a tendency fa make its disciple steal. TLo cause lies in tempiaiion. The remedy, of course, is either to remove the temptation or to sxposo only those who can resist it, to its influence. The former is rather beyond the scope of this ?St2 ' ? ,. article. The accumulated and glittering piles of public money fused aud mixed, wherein do man ktiuwcth his own, must be handled by some one The tempta tion is strong. How to i:.crease the responsibility, accountability and secur ity; how to make the punishment of embezzlement, more certain and terrible, are themes for future pulitical philcao phers and subjects lor legislative study. I" ThV'latter is more practicable and can be accomplished It ,?<aLy Men can be found with the moral nerve to withstand the presence of temp tation in its most voluptuous aud subtle *' form, and Dot fall. How to get these men ! It is said that this is a nation of politicians. Every man is a politician. Every man, however ignorant on other subjects he may be, can tell you all the ^^?oiitical parties, pRitformsr principles, ?c ( doctrines and prospects. This is what is said ol as as a people. Certainly every man is anxious to define his po litical position. Who has not been a victim, in daily intercourse, of tbis dis position to define cxaetly. The farmer in bargaining for his land accurately and elaborately defines * his . political outlook. Almost every wit : bees who ascends the staucb keeps the Court waiting to hear "what he knows , . of this case." until he defines himself * lie1/1 - V*' * politically as uoot odo of those men, who," &e. jZI I We sre all political philosophers, (and astronomers, too). But yet the keen orafty few beguile a nation. They, whose business is poli tics, whose trade is office, whose aim is ...plunder, know how to cater to and .. humor this political knowledge and how ri *t*y make it pay. If this people were less politicians ?and wore practical, a better day would dawn. Never was there a greater falsehood ' than the political maxim, "Measures not J/Ct the people, in the primary selec ."tlops of those whoohoose for them, from tkeir local ani personal knowledge of chancier and ability, seleet "men" who are honcet, trustworthy aod capable, and''measures" for their highest good will be the result. The whole philosophy of political morals is embodied in this. Tho prob* lem is solved right here. Mind not the eloquent discussioot of political measures and platforms, but seek for the right inen anil *rust them with tho discussion nud adoption of thoso measures that mu-t redound to the peo ple's pood. ? ?-??r? ? in ?

I 1J T Tuesday March 4th was an eventful day in Washington. President Grant was inaugurated for his second term as th? Chief of this great nation. Tho day was a cold one, but this had uo effect to deter tho , vusl throng of visitors in the city from attending the interesting ceremony of tho inaugural. The pageant is described as very grand, the grandest ever witnessed in America. A telegram says that the scene remind ed one of the triumphal glories of Napoleon the . First. The military gathered from all purls of the couutry, numbered fire thousand mon and pre sented a displ. y unequalled since the grand revic* of the Federal armies in ?0vJ5* Washington w:>s represented as one vast hotel. Never was there such an outpouring of the masses of the people. No one who witnessed the great picture can d <ubt that President Grant lives in tho hearts ol the people. At 12 30 the President delivered his inaugural address from the Eastern por tion of the Capital. PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF OR ANT. An exchange gives the following accouut of tho personnel of the Presi dent. . . "The President has a br ?ad. but not a high forehead, his nose is slightly aquiliue, his eyes blue and kindly his m-iuth grave, and whoo at rest, his chin square. ; his complexion somewhat? ruddy and his hair nearly bla.-k. His face i* a study. There arc lines in it which show Uol only traces of deep thought, but the impress of pri.in ful experiences There is a gentleness und patience in his re an Dor which might lead a tyro to suppose there was wcik ness somewhere in his composition- but for that grim, determined expression ! ahoUt the lower pnrt of his ftce. the J firmness of purpose th it givesithat square ; set to the shoulder* und makes him trom head to foot apsaar what he is?a m<tn of decisive but not of obstinate or stubborn will.

Co D: ui.t need at follows: F'Uotc-Citiznit?Under Providence. 1 have been called a second time to act as Executive over this great nation It has been my endeavor in the past to maintain al! the laws, and, us far us lay in my p> wer to net for the best interest of the whole people. My best efforts will be givou in tlu some directions in the future. Then alter a brie? review of bin pvt udmiuistra;iou the Pressdeut spoke hs follows: My efforts in the futuse, will b-^ direc ted to the restoration of good feeling be twevu the different sections of our com mon country; the restoration ot our cur rency to a fixed vaUie as compared to the world's standard of values and it' possib'e to a par with it; the cont-truct'ion of cheap routes of transit throughout the land, so the produce of all sect: 's may find a market and leave a living rein Uli uration to :h? producer the maiatfen nice' nf friendly relations with distant nations, the re establishment of our commerce with a bhaiT in rtic carrying trade upon the ocean; the encouragement of such? manufacturing iudustrius as may be economically pursued in this country, to the end that the export* of home produots and industries may p >y for our imports, the only an e method af returning to and perinnuei.lly maintaining a specie basis; the elevation of labor , and by a humane course to bring the aborigines ol tho country under thw benign influence of education and civilirati n; either this or a wur of extermination engaged in by people pursuing commerco and ull the industrial pursuits wbiefa course is ex pensive, .;vcn when directed against the weakest people, and also demoralizing and wicked. Our superiority of strength and advances of civilization should muke us lenient towards the Indian; the wrong air* udy inflicted upon hinihhould be taken into consideration and the bal ance placed to bis credit. The morality of the question should be considered, and th e question aaked: Cannot the Indian be mude a useful aud1 productive member of society by proper teaching an 1 treat ment ? If the effort is inado in good faith, we will stand belter both beforo tho civilized nations of the earth aud in our owu consciences for Waving made it. All these things arc not to be accomplish ed by one individual, but they will re ceive my suppurt and such recommenda tions to Congress as will, in my judgment best serve to carry them into eflect. I beg your support sud encourage ment. It has been and is my earnest desiro to correct the abuses that hare eprnng up in the civilived portion* of the coun try. To eccue this reformation, rules regulating the methods of appointment aud promotion were established and. have been tried. My efforts at such re formation shall be continued to the best of my judgment. The spirit of the rules adopted will be maintained. I acknowledge before this assemblage, representing as it deos every section of our couutry, the obligation I am under to my countrymen for the great honor they have conferred upon me by return ing me to the highest office within their gift and tho farther obligation resting upon mc to render to them the best services within my power. This I promise, lookiug forward with the great est anxiety to the day when 1 shall be released from responibilit iea which, at times are almost overwhelming and from which I have scarcely had u respite since the eventful Bring upon Fort Sututo:-, in April, 1801, to tho present day. My services were tbcu tendered aud accept/d under the firs: call lor troops, growing out of that event 1 did not usk for place or position and was entirely with out both personal or political influence, but was resolved to perform my part iu a struggle tl rcuteniug'thc very rxbtenceof the nation. 1 performed a conscientious duty without asking either for promo I linn or command and with ml a revenge ful feeling toward any section or iudi vidu.'i. Notwithstanding thi?,through out the war and from my candidacy fur my present office in 18U8 to the close of the lute Presidential campaign 1 have been tho subject of abuse and slander seaicely ever equalled iu political history, which, however, I feel that I cau to d;y disregard in view of your verJict, which I gratelully accept as my vindication editorial Scissors ami Pen. The City Council of Charleston has. by resolution invited President Grant to visit that city during his contemplated Southern tour and to be the guest of the City. The Courier, steady old boy, is delighted at it and r,r/tiaint iu a heavy editorial, und j-ays thai ihn invitation is "wc^ timed." Perhaps it is, since the President has indefinitely postponed his lour. There is ta'k of forming a new State to be culled "A Meghan v." out of North 1 Bjroliua. Tennessee and" Virginia. It i? also propose d to reduce Governor Mose?' kingdom, by annexing the auvcst.al ; county cf Pickens and the parvenu county of Cc< nee to Georgia. What will Georgia give us for these two couuliea ? EuoUgh to jay tho Stale debt? If so lei's Bell out. A comfy' or two every decade will keep up our credit. But it will be bard to "keep up" with our geography. Our credit will be mobitier, und wo will soon be I "Suld out." A corn spondent of the Abbeville Medium says that a "muffled drum'* was beat iu Augusta on Washington s birth day.
