JL OCAL, f ir. FELDER MEYERS, Assistant Editor. SATURDAY, AUG. 1, 1874. _ .. ... i . ,,. ?m:;d Muss Meeting. A grand mass meeting was held in the Court. House Square on Monday last. '?School Commissioner F. II. McKinlay was elected Chairman and J* Folder jMeyers Esq , Seoretary. Congrossm in llansier was present, and upon being conduotod to tho stind undo a most ?excellent speech. He Was glad to address the poop lc of Orangeburg. Momentous issues were at baud, and be proposod to loo'c them squarely iu the face. Was happy to meet his frionds here, because of the ? * '* ? ? many associations which bind hi in to Orangeburg County. lie was a mom ?her to congress from the socoti l C hi gressional District. While here didn't know whether ho was on a visit to the indefatigable School Commissioner, or for the purpose of speaking. If a ny ouc knew aught against his character, it was his duty to voto against him. He .had held positions in the Stato for niu s years, and while si many had been charged with robbery, the charge of corruption hud never been laid at his door. No man ever labored harder and more earnestly for the party's success than he. Ho was a friend aud legists tor not of bis party alone; because he had ever in big hoart the wellfare of all peooplc; loved tho interest of the white man and the black man. He represcu ted no new idea. The white people bad committed themselves years ago to the doctrine that ail men arc born free und equal. [.The principle inderlies the constitution which made America what she is. It has been brought practically to bear upon this country by the omaooi pntion of four millions of people. In the struggle some of tin beat blood was lost, but it seems that the Southern v .people had to go through ibis ordoil >ns a punishment for the long years they contributed towards the enslave neat at the blacks. To day the just judgments of all men approved of the abolition of slavery. Mr. .Hausier said that the oyos of the nation aie turned upon the colored majority iu this State aud holds them responsible for wrongs done the whites who are in the minority. Let the colored men of redoe? m in tTie State and County know that n lie ?publican majority in Cougrcsi rofus ed to pats the civil rights bill, but did ?pa s an Act requiring that all men should read and write before sitting ou a United States Jury. ? Mr. Ransier made a long and inter csting speech which wc reported fully, ? 9)at find ourselves unable to publish more than tihe foregoing. He was loud ly cheered-throughout, and coutributed ?a {great deal towards increasing I is already tremendous jMpularity with 'the people. Mr. John II. Phillips was next iu troduced. Thought he had soeu cuougb to induce the belief that the party had %taen a failure. To day^tlwre aro men running for office who arc better fruited for the penitentiary. Upon being in t rrogntcd the speaker said give him timo as be intended to curry each man us b? went along. If Congress had failed to puss the civil rights bill it was the fault of men on tho other side of Mason and Dixon'u line. Ho was dealing with thrives aud would band lo them roughly The party nominated Scott first; and he stole; tbey next put iu a home man and he's no better; now "what aro you going to do about it!" Mr. Phillips made quite a lengthy speech replete throughout with good udi'iee. Mr. Richard Duncan mado one of his ?characteristic addresses. Ho agreo 1 with tho position Mr. Ransior looked, an d csnio out strongly for his re-election to Congress; The speaker advisod tho election of good and intelligent men to office. Mr. J. L. Humbert was called upon i and spokeearnest ly~nnd wisely iu tho interest of reform- Ho was no ouudU dato for office but intended to give his influence on tho side of be*tir govern incot. Mr. P. M. Gcucrnl ppoke wo)J; und added now laurels to his nam? as an orator Mr V D Bowman said ho was no candidate; and thought the important question of who should ?fill office and ro present tho peoplo was left with a small number; members of the conventi on ought therofore be vory careful in mak ing nominations Demoorats arc watch ing our quarrels and are ready to come in aud take our places Mr Henry Anderson took with the crowd. Judge Kuowlton was culled upon, nud took (he stund amidst loud ap plause. He thought there was a very hard campaign before us, and doubted whether the parly would win if good men v ore not put forward as s tandard bearers. Mr Knowlton was frequently cheered, and was followed by Mr P K Jones, who made an admirable speech. Mr Inaao Whitcmore spoke up for reform, and mado quite an impression upon the audience. Upon the whole, the meeting w.is a sucesss. We regret that want of space prevents us from giving a fuller occouir nf tho incidents or the day. SOUTH EDfSTO MURDER? In our issue of July 18th appeared an account of n shocking murder com mitted upon nu unfortunate mulatto girl, whose body, together with tint of her mwlyboin child, was found in thu South Edislo river. Wc arc rn:ncd to ';c:.rn that through information we thought to be true, we have unwittingly given circulation to a veiBtou of the affair calculated te injure the fair fume of a respectable young man named M W. Phillips son of Capt Hugh E. Phillips, residing near Willis* ? ton, Bnrnwcll cpuuty. The murder is yet involved in -myste ry, but so far as Mr. PbilKpsis con cerned, after bis arrest, a m >st rigid examination before a magistrate failed to elicit any testimony whatever impli cating that young man iu the slightest, j Add the counsel for the State, the Hon I S. J. Lee readily ucquicsced iu an ap plication for his discharge from custody. It would also appear that the arrest was uncalled for and vexatious, as the infor mutton upon which it was predicated was entirely without foundation of fact. The following is a brief statement od' tht circumstances elicited at tho *xami nation : Murguiet Cut ter, tho young woman whose body is said to have been fuuud iu the Edisto, was a field hand on a farm near WillLton, cultivated by Mr. Phillips. On Monday night the 20th June, after receiving rations. Margaret informed a fellow laborer, Mr* Charity Green, that she felt unwell and was going home to her mother, who lives about throo miles from Phillips' j farm, and in an opposite direotion from ?the river. Next day .Mr. Phillips came ! into the field and finding Margaret I absent asked Mrs. Green what had become of her, and why ahe was not at work. On being told that .-ho had gone to her mother's complaining of iltooss, he remained satisfied without further inquiry. A<bout the 4th of July the body ef a girl, said to be that of Margaret Carter with two pistol shots through tho breast, and the head)shockingly bruised, was found in tho river about 100 yards btlow Davis' bridge. This place is about7 or 8 zuUes from Phillips' planta tion. The legs of the girl were tied with a picco of plough lino, a largo hinge attached to the body, and a new ly born inlunt within the garments. On tho 10th July Phillips was ar rested with bis younger brother, and they appeared before Trial Justice Koennn as Windsor. Tho urrest seems to have been mado moro in obedience to the irrational impulses of a wild and feolish popular gossip than of a sober, magisterial discretiou. Thero uot being a tittle of evidence to support the charge. Phillips was accordingly dis charged. We aro sorry that our columns should have been rnudo tho vehicle of ropcating and publishing this misrepresentation of Mr. Phillips, although as journalists "we wero moro sinnod against than siuuiug." It is to bo hoped that the real porp? trators of the terrible outrago, UDOzam pled iu tho history of crime ia this State, will shortly bo brought to justice.

At a qutrtcr past three the scats which were prepared for the^ accommodation of spectators wore crowded with both old and young, male and female, all anxious to witness tlie game, which was to de cide the skill of the BranchvtUo p layers. At i past three Jthc gamo wa6 called, Mr. John T. Butler the champion um pire of the county if not ol thi Stato, acted as umpire The Athletics wining choice of position saut the Paliuuttoos to the bat After Scoring 5 runs they were sent to the field only to white wash their oppoueuts, Iluth sidas played well. The Athletics not having their Charleston pitcher could not complete w it la their opponents. After playing 7 innings tho game was called, a thunder cloud coming up aud it getting [too dark to play, the game stood 28 for the Athletics und nn lor the Palmettnes. The game over arm in arm tho two clubs marched to the Town Hnll with their invited guests to partake of tho supper which was already prepared. Not being invited to tho supper I cannot giro an account of it. The score now stands cne game for each club. Tho third game will bo played at Bamburg it being half way ground. Mr. II. A.
