TEE ORANGEBURG NEWS THAD. C. ANDREWS, Editor. fiEOKOE HOIjIVF/H, FlKAKClAL 4nd BUSIMBSS MAHAOKB. Official Paper of the Stute and of OrnnKeburg County. ? TUE ORANGEBURG NEWS HAS A LARGER CIRCULATION THAN ANT OTHER PAPER IN TEE CO UN Tt. -?S RAltltBAl' FEU. 6, 1875. Senator ^Andrews. The Special Ccinmittic appointed to investigate the charges made byjluiu b?rt against Senator Andrews made tbcir'k report yesterday morning. There ?re two reports, both of which wore inade the special trdcr lor Wednesday ?txt, when, we suppose, the matter will be disposed t of, either in favor of or sgainst Senator AndrcwJ . The report which recommends his expulsion,-, is based upon his admission that he bought county claims and had them ? cashed. Hence it will bo seen that^tbc testimony which Humbert and others gave agaiust him was but lightly con sidered, if at all. Wc arc not surprised that Senator Sn alls should be against Andrews. His whole beariug here (?bowed unmistakable signs of his b&tred for him. In our opinion the Senate of South Carolina will be lower ing its dignity should it expel one of its members, upon eo small a pretext as this. Thcre'are few meu in South C srolira ^bo' Lavc not_ speculated in County and State paper. And have not tho largest transactions of this nature 'been carried en to an alarming ex tent right under tho nose of the '?{Senate ? Why pick out a man who was honest enough to own that be did buy up a few Couuty claims? lias the Republican party come to tho the sad pass that a victim v*^UBt be offered up? And must that view.. always ^bc fr/vii ^q.rangeburj Wo bad t^,?i.A..i^batm^t?'^^' XJUJies of R!Eatiefied with rum | ,,_u was made of Ran mator Andrews fans doue 'clout work for tho J| party, aud but for his energy, ^thc fight which the Unici Herald nindG in the last campaign for tho regular ticket, might never have been mado. Ingratitude forms the larger part of the natures of many men, but wc have yet to believe that it is to char acterizca ktho .conduct of the leading Ro publicans of this State ^Tue News _and Courier k mdiet* ed for Uuel. In the Court of General Sessions, Wednesday morning last, Solicitor 'Buttargavo outweight bills of indictment for libel ugniust F W Dawson and 11 It Riordan, of the News and Courier. Judge Rccd, in charging the grand jury with reference to these bills of indictment, said, that it was the duty of .^ho ^ury to weigh well the charges jbefore jthcy brought in ' true" or "no iibilhv" If, said he, you find that th eso icharges are merely the political quib bling of opposing parties, in a cam. aign, in which each was endeavoring to show up the misconduct of the other, it is your duty to discard them and bring in "no hill; but if you find that the Ian guago^ used ou these several occasions was published with an unmistakable malicious intent to defame the private characters of the meu against whom i w?b delivered, then you mutt find true bills. ' -Later in tho day the grand jury returned t/uc bills upon tho several indictments against F W Dawson and B R Riordan, as follows : 1. For defaming the character of C C Bowon,B II Hoytand P C Gregorio in tho News and Courier of October G, 1874. 2. For defaming tho character of C 0 Bowen in tbc News and Courier of October 8,1874. 3. For defaming tho. character of C C. Bowi n in the News and Cuur? r of December 9; 1874. 4. For delamiiig the character of C C Bowon in tho News aud Courier of November 5/1874. 5. For defaming the chr acler of G C Bowcn, B II lluyt und 1* C Grcgorieiu tho News and Courier of October 2, 1874. 0. For defaming the oh .tractor of 0 C Bpwen in tho Neuis and Courier ol October 23, 1874. 7. For defaming tho character of B II rioyt, P 0 Grcgorio and II G Worth ingto'i in the News and Courier of Sop tcmber 21, 1874. 8. For defaming the character of B H IToyt, P C Gregorieand II G Worth ington. Capt. Dawson gave bond on the same day for his appeara ce for trial. Mr Riordan was not iu Charleston. Thus it will be scon that G rand ./urics iu Charleston do not like the idcr. of men being defamed for no other reason than to gratify a personal spite; and that Judge 1! ccd thought, in cbarg iug the Grand Jury, "that if tho hin ginge used on these several oce casions was published with an nnmi.stal.able malicious intent to defame tho pri vate characters of the parties against who in it was delivered, then you must find trite bills." It docs very well for a man to publish about another what he knoics to be true and what bo can sub slantiatc by proofs in the Court House, but it is not healthy, under the law, for one to do so in any other manner. We shall watch these cases with a groat deal of interest, lor, by their results we shall know whether a man's charac ter can be, day alter day, paraded before the public by newspaper men with impunity, Govun Heed, for tho inurdbr of Charles Simmons, and William Auld. for the murder of Butler Goldson, con victed in Orangeburg county nlJrrW recent term of court, are rjr1 fljjrtn rjjjy awaiting iUlxTety the rcsult^ggj ?

Edward I Cain was elected iu 1872, and disqualified by an act of the legislature, aud when the new election was ordered, Edward 1. Cain was re-elected, lie failed toqual ify within the required time. Where there is no sheriff, the law provides that :iie corouor shall act, but J. Ilammond Fordham, the coroner, also failed to qualify within the required time.

When the people of this imperial Republic know each other thoroughly, when they are ready to excuse their brother's short comings auel east ti c mantle of charity over his faults, when it is .seen tin 1 known that there is honor and worth in every quarter of the IJiiioii ? then, and not until then, will the county have true and lasting unity und pcuoo.
