THE ORANGEBURG NEWS CSK01M.ii: HOMYIU?, FINANCIAL AMD I'.Isinvsn MaSacvii. Iclnl Paper or the .Nim?? nnd ?f Ornngcburer County. SATURDAY, MAY 24,187& The I.M1? **" I * ! The recent sad affair near Richmond has given some of our Northern el changes a theme for a Tast deal of >humor" nnd "sarcasm."' Tho entire N civilization of the Sooth is portrayed in ludicrous style. - T*he Wortd has just indulged in a vcrj bitter and galling article on this sub ject. "Whiskey and saw-handled pistols," according to this able paper arc necessa ry parts of the efaily bread and apparel of every Southern man. "Life is not safe/' with us. When one contemplates that this unjust and base misrepresentation ot the South comes from the region where murder has just been leading a dance over the mutilated corpses of butchered humanity, where death has held high Court and carnival, where "murder most, foul" has been the daily occurrence and has be come a theme of common import, aye, ?f jest, how bold and trite nod poor tho "humor," how weak the ' satire" of our friend. Charity, and justice, alike, begin at home. fire Insurance Monopoly, a A fOM11INATIN TO INCREASE THE HATK OF INSURANCE TO AN ?XORB1TANT nova*. We clip from our cotemporary the " Times," the following remarks upon n . subject of vital importance to our merchants. The latest tyranny inaugurated is that of the "Underwriters Association of the South" Insurance capital repre senting E*gH?h and Northern Com panies1, has been handed under a fixed agreement to raise the percentage of insurance to a figure which i* a tux of f rightful magnitude. The p d-^ible ob ject is to draw from tho country at large, and particularly- the South, i'nough in premiums tu compensate for Chicago und JJostfoa losses. The hoi ante wheel ol any system of trade ov bnsinos is legitimate competition, A merchant cannot prosecute his business in competition with others, if he places an unreasonable profit on his wares. Nor can any app icant fof public favor maintain his hold eicpt by n system of | equal or advantage?*? term*. Why then should not a responsible inaurauce company purtue its business independ and of any other company. So soon as a common tariff is adopted under the dictation of a combined association, si soon does each snd every company be come the tool of a mouied monopoly for tpprcssion. It is quite as reasonable for laborers, farm hands, mechanics, .lawyer*, and doctors to sacrifice their personal independauce to a board, which will assess the value of their services, or far merchants in secret conclave to swear and bond themselves to put a cer tain per centago on every article they anil. This money oppression will lead to a resistance somewhere least expected, aid is a short sighted policy. W e of j the Fcuth must regrtt that capital do mends so much for its service, and dtptocnting all monopolies, we unheaita . fingly denounce it as a bass scheme to build up Chicago and* Boston with Southern money. Tho established rates of Insurance Con; pan it s. which have been f/ase-A' upon tested statistics, arc sudden ly snouted by a doeree of the "Q'udcr writors Association of the South (Kng lish and Vau Won Fire ItMurance Com panics) and the rotes-at? marked updo seven and eight pen cent, whntw former ly only two snd one half and three have * ween paid. It is time that 9vu?eru! mcrchsuts and property holders should establish some scheme of protection ' against this outrageous monopoly All the analogies go to prove that the next stage of being is higher than this. Death is an upwsrd step in the ascend ing order of au endless life. It is a gain In what it leads to, and a gain in the te . struints it throws over tw here, the neu sanctions it gives to right* living, the props it p?U behind the wavering, wtlh It is a gain in trial and trouble- ia the sweet and blcegcd hope of doliveruooo it Arot* on the heavy heart And it is-a. , gain in the. heat and passion of the day by the glory that streams down through us. open door from on high. Y? by is a man who makes additions to a Iahe rumor like one who has coufi* dence in all that is told him? Because he ic lies on tilt ibut ho hears. l"ot Ponrrl. A OKXKR.VI RB-H,\8H OF SEWS, Ti E WUltR of THE <IAI.i.?vy?. Lost week was a warning one fur mnr derer? in the number of examples of capital punishment which hafe taken pi tee in various pirtS of the country Two tuen W*m executed in California and one in Illinois. Lusignani, the Italian murderer, was hung at Morris town, N. J.; Nixon, the murderer of Pfeiler, was hung in New" York city. The warrant for Ihe execution of liollohan, one of the murderers of Mrs. Lampley, now in IWtiiiioro jit), Was officially rend to him yesterday. Others, in various parts of the country, eon virtod of murder, may see in these exhibitions of a determination to enforce the laws a premonition of their r/Wn fate. Among these is Stokes, who ia still, through hie counsel, seeking fo avail himself" of legal technicalities to escape his doom. One of the murderers .executed last weck, Nixon, committed the crime for which he has been puni-h cd some time after the killing of Fisk by Stokes. It is evident, however, th it hanging is not "played out" in the United State-,, and men of violence may profitably consider the illustrations of that fuot which have occurred during the pa.-t week. ^Meantime, it is stated that the W>tfrt of A p pea Is of New York will, within a fiirtnb ht, hear and de termine the appeal in the case of Stuke?, and thus decide his doom.
