As this is likely to be the case it is I
I the duty of the Republican "party to be I
I giu cow toprcpuro for the contest. Our I
I house should bo put in thorough order, I
I our armor burnished up, and our eyes I
I set firmly upou victory for our Stute I
I und National organizations.
It will not do for this country to bo H
I turned over to tho Democracy. The H
I mission uf tho Republicau party has not I
I yet been fulfilled, uud wo arc quite sure
B that it uever would bo wore the Demo I
Icrats to attaiu to powor just now. The
H colored man needs to be hotter oducatcd H
I and made stronger in his power to pro
B tect the rights of his race, before turn 1
B tng over this government to his enotnies
HOoce this is accomplished it will no:' fl
Hmatter so much whether thoro be any IB
Bparty at all or not. The colored people
B will then have become sufficiently euligh
B toned to take euro of themselves. Rut I
I now it behooves thorn to stand firmly IB
H by tho principles of their party, and see I
Bto it that its banner shall not bo trailed
Bin tho dust in couscquenoe of lethargy
on their part. Party lines should be I
Istrictly drawn and uono but faithful I
I Republicans bo put ou guard. Traitors I
Bshould bo driven from- our ranks, and
I thus purified wo should contiuuc stead- I
fast iu our devotion to the. party. We
I should consider it a crime in a member
B to'desert its organization upon any nb
Bstruct question or in allowing himself to
I become indiffuroot iu coosequonco of
H tho disappointment of sotuo petty ambi
I tion. In this Stato wo have every reason
B for supporting the Republican party.
I It has been shown by Gov. Chamborlain
fl that Republicanism is not inconsistent
I with good Government, and that all
I tho people prosper alike where the laws I
I are properly administered. Wo do not
I believe tho lattor would Do tho oasc un
I der a Democratic administration. Govcr
H nor Chamberlain has brought quiet out
I of confusion and has dono ir.uoh towards
I restoring tho oredit of tho State, which
I hud been completely destroyed by his
Hjrofligio and corrupt predrce-t: or.

The public, including myself, had
been led by paper ut d rumor accounts,
to believe that swindling robbery or
stealing of pttblie nu u -ys. would Ivtvo
been charged and p: 'uvelti. This was
not done. Now, up n this kin] ur
showing by tho con: mitteo, three of
them appended a nsouuiiou to their ro
port, to expel Andrews from his seat.
In view of the Ban e showing, two of
them appended to the ir report a rosolu
tion recommending censure to be
passed on him. Notv, for what ? No
tn deuce to prove

like. Uufortuu
|>ut many other
charge of steulige, no
crime. There was
drews'- admission thut
pay certificates und the'
otely, not only ho,
worthy citizens, merchants, &e., have
dealt in these tradcablq papers to their
financial injury. Thisi whole question
waa elaborately discussed. The main
point of difference bejing, whether to
expel or censure. The vfot-j was takou to
expel first. There were II') vot?B against
exjjulsiun, of these there were 4 Con
servative8, myself among thotn, and
two of these were eminent Democratic
lawyers; in favor of expelling thoro were
12 votes, three ol thcee^nrc Democrats,
tho remainder, 9 are ltjcpublicans, two
were absent. It would have taken 22
votes to h&ve expelled. Wo were
expecting to voto on the resojution to
censure the Senator. On this point
thcro was considerable diebate whether
to censure was equivuleut to expul
sion or not. A few Senators thought it
was not. 1 took my part iu this de
bate, favoring the resolution to censure,
aud clcsed by toying, "if I err in this
voto I prefer to err on tho Hide of mercy
nod justice, rather than soil my con
science in aiding to fix infamy on a man
and his family on unsatisfactory
grouuds." In the confusion of the do
bate, this resolution was withdrawn, aud
the Senate adjourned, aud eo no direct
vote was taken.

Well the News ami Courier is brought
in this connexion. A word as to its
sayings. They havo provod'themselves
incompetent to make corroct roprosonta
tions when I am in question. It makes
mo say that I kriew that this pnpc,.
would put at mo about this vote. This
I did not say, as it was strJod. I ex
pressed this idea, that if I had been the
only Conservative voting with tho ma
jority, 1 would havo a special uotioc,
but as thcro wore iuoro I thought that
not much would ho said. This was u
reply to a question asked ? mo about it
by some one. It eo turned out, ob usu
al, in n manner to show kunfair feoliugs.
Hut of mo they espoob nothiug," of
course not. I hare fully provod te them -
before now that I could not drink in
that unrolenting bitterness which they
aro too ready to manifest against those
who inour their displeasure I see now
that they aro beginuing to.criticise and
censure tho Conservatives in- Some rja'r
ticulars."

Editor Or angcbnrrj Ne\cs : '
I see in the JYacs and Courier of the
30th of December 1874, a correspond
ence signed A M B,'which protends to
give a detail of a Tournainent that enmu
of! on that day at tho lovely and ploas
ant little village of Hamburg. Now
Mr. Editor, I thiuk that tho correspond
cnt must have had something in viow
more than Eome other persons who wit
ne3sed the scene: I know for one that
it is in several instances wrongly repre
sented, for what purpose I do not know.
Perhaps the correspondent is one of the
fair sex and had gone there with the j
expo3tation of being crowned Queen of
love and bonuty. The correspondent
snid that much ' di -satisfaction was
caused in tho awarding of tho first
prize, and that there was scar, e'y one pre
sent but who was fully convinced that in
prize it belonged to the gallant Knight
oi tho West. Mr. Editor, this is a
mistake, for I am fully convinced that
the majority of tho spectators were of
opinion that the Knight ofiheflook
and Ladder was fully entitled to tho
honor that was awarded htm; In the
next place A M B sayB that in taking
the ride over on account cf the twisted
track he took three rings. I say ho
only redo 1 or the one and took it. Thj
judges then annouueed a tie between
?the .two Knights viz: Hook aud
Ladder and the West. The next ride
decided the question, tho Knight of the
Hook and Ladder taking all three rings
and the Knight of the West, I think,
took only one. Mr. Editor I ram ot
. think it possible that such honorable,
straight forward gentlemen, as tho
judges seemed to be, would be so much
biased us to give an u .jut>t decision in
nuy matter, especially buch an impor
tant ouc as that was. Mr. Editor,
allow nie in conclusion to give iny opin
ion why A M B attempts to try to
mistily the public and take the honor
from one Knight and bestow it upoa
another, aud that is this: His (or her)
preference was so biased in favor of
that sociable, pleasant, loving littlo
village, that he (or she) could not bear
for a Knight of Orangcburg County to
huve the honor of bearing off the first
prize.

Numerous complaints with regard to the
Post Office under my control, having come
to my curs, it is duo to the public and to
myself that an explanation be made.
On account of bad health, which disabled
me, ond on account of the loss oi the valu
able services of Mr. J. S. Dull, who* system
and ability, ensured my respect and con
fidence in the entire managment of tho
office, 1 was obliged to obtain a
Deputy familiar with tho routine of
business, aud securing Mr. Esokiej, removed
the ?fficc to his store, that he might give
the more undivided attention to it.
Had Mr. Hull not reeeivod a better offer
than I could afford to mako I would still
have had hii valued help. And bad he
remained with mo I would not have re
moved tho office. Und my own* health bceu
better, I might have seen less occasion to
move the office.
