xftt "Qamchnj Jdurual, \ VV. 1). TRANTHAM, Editor, (?'. (J. ALEXANDER, Eusiiiess Manager. 'CAMDEN, S. C.. MARCH 12, 1S7S. The Debt Question Settled. The debt question, which has been the subject of discussion in the Legislature for nearly two weeks, and the termination of which has been regarded with the greatest anxiety by all the people of the State, may now be considered as practically settled in a manner honorable to the State and satisfactory to her creditors. The tcrrus of the settlement, for which we are iudebtcd to the JYtties and Courier, as agreed upon in the Democratic caucus on Saturday, are briefly as follows : A sufficient tax shall be levied to pay the interest upon the Consolidation debt for the current year, funds for theiutcrest of last year being now in the treasury ; three circuit Judge*, to be named by the Legislature, shall pass upon the validity of claims reported against by ihc Bond Commission, the State having the right of appeal to the Supreme Court; the interest on the debt recognized as valid by the Bond Commission shall be paid ; the interest on disputed claims shall be paid whenever their validity shall be established ; no bonds or stocks issued since April, 1SCS, shall be funded under the Consolidation Act until they shall hare been examined and found valid ; and the Little Bonanza debts and the unfunded debts'and liabilities of the State, including the bills of the Bank of the State, and excepting only advances made for the Lunatic Asylum and State Penitentiary, shall be funded at fifty cents on the dollar in six per cent, bonds. The Supply Bill. The bill for raising supplies for the present fiscal year, which the Committee nn Wnvs and Means has recently com plcted and presented to the House of llepresentatives, fixes the general State tax, exclusive of the two mill echo"! tax, at at Jive ami one-half mi Ih. In addition to this there will be the regular County tax of three mills, and an extra tax of perhaps two mills for past indebtedness, the bridge tax, and the poll tax which iB limited to persons between twenty and sixty years of age. The taxes are payable in gold and silver coin and national bank notes, in two C(|Ual instalments, in May and October. It is however-made optional to pay the May instalments in May, or the whole in October with a penalty of six per cent on the first instalment. "Reconcile Your Differences " That excellent Democratic paper, the Carolina Spartan, contains in its issue of the Gth, instant an admirable editorial on the political situation in South Caroliua at the present time. The suggestions made arc so timely, and the tone of the article so elevated, that we are constrained to transfer much of it to our columns. Kvcry voter should road it, and ponder the lesson it teaches. \\*cextract: In the future, as in the past, if we wish to succeed we must sink all personal differences and ambitions, in the desire io secure the success of the Straight Out" Democracy, and our battles must be fought, and differences settled, ivti<h of the Democratic Party. It. will not do to allow the Radicals, either bv virtue of superior numbers, or as holding the balance of power, to guide the destinies of the State, for our people have ben instinctively fighting for irhitc cicilization, and it will be u fatal mistake for us. to suppose that the Democratic lion and Radical goat will overlie down in peace together, or that the white man will submit to neg^o or Radical rule, in part, or us a whole, at any time, in the future. Progress must be the watch word in the next campaign, and wc must move right on in the next election to the perfect and complete redemption of the Stale, until our peopio are restored to their own, not only in the up. but in the low country, and until white civilization has been restored in Rcaufort, (jcorgctown. < Charleston and other counties. This 11 ,i,? ?Mn, IS ail IieWBBaij, in ntn ui ?nv national contest, which must take place in 1880, for the complete restoration of (Constitutional Democratic Government at Washington. I?y and through which, alone, can the State feel secure, in the enjoyment of Jionif mfr. It will not do to ascribe our success in the last election to any one mau, and our |>cople know full well that it was th" united influence of many causes, and many men, which achieved the victory at the ballot, box If we were asked who precipitated the "Straight Out" movement, and thereby rendered flic most signal service by saving tne State from making a fatal mistake, we should answer, liutlor and Gary, at the August meeting, where Chamberlain was cowed, and our valuable ally, Mackey was converted t and also at tho August convention, when their eloquence and influence secured the nomination of Hampton. If we were called upon to name, the man who has displayed the loftiest and most unselfish patriotism ; made the greatest sacrifices for, and clung to tho State, working for her redemption, through pood and evil report ; the fruits of whose liberal and high minded policy were reapeod in the last State and national elections, we should name Kershaw ; and if it wi re necessary to point out the uian. whose prestige, remnrsahle j decision^ of character, and executive | t Im iHBMMMMMHHMMMMMBCXBBDMBHkBKaKaMa ability, and many other ennobling traits' I best fitted hitn to become the leader of j the people, and the Governor of the j State we should name Hampton. We are anxious to do just ire to the last, and willing to see him again made the Gov- j ernor "f South Carolina, regardless of, the fact that, in the opinion of many, his administration has b<>en marked by some serious mistakes. The people arc ! generous and charitable, and arc unwilling to have l?utler and Gary denounced as "extremists," realising as I they do, that they arc entitled to their own opinions, and that the largest I comparative majorities giveu for IIatnp*j ton, in the last election, came from' Aiken, Edgefild, Laurens, Union and Spartanburg, which have heretofore been regarded as the most independent , and extreme counties of the State; bocauso they resisted Radical rule, and were most enthusiastically Democratic, i They havo not forgotton the noble self sacrifice of Kershaw, nor the services of many other Garolinians, who have bound themselves to ihc State with hooks of steel; nor will they cease to remember Hampton, who in obedience to their call, took the"Stright Out" Democratic baunf reform from that Aueust conven tion, and with the support of the people, and the assistance of their other leaders, bore it in a triumphal march to victory. No uian is greater than the party or the people, and now that the battle has been won. and (he enemy routed, we should not quarral over the spoils, and allow them to reunite their shattered rauks, but every leader should j obey the demands of the people, that the march of the "Staight Out Democracy" shall be continued until the entire State is redeemed. Let us do jus-: tice to Gov. Hampton, and as far as is consistent with our best interests, unhesi itatingly pupport his administration, and place tho Democratic banner in bis hands again in the next campaign. Re-Districting the State.

Kx-Senator Jicn Wade, of Ohio, is deaij?-died the 2<1 instaut. One hundred and twenty-three men and twenty-five women committed suicide in New York City lust year. The University bill has passed both houses of the General Assemdiy, received the Governor's approval, and ! now only awaits ratification. i The Georgians are troubled about , Senator Hill, lie has been on every i side of the silver bill. They want to know what is his position on the subject 1 at the present time. Tit v. press of of the State, with few exceptions, favors standing by the pledge of the Democratic party and tho . settlement of the State debt us accomplished under the Consolidation act. The veterans of 1812. whose names were sticken from the pension rolls because of their sympathy with the South in the late war, have had restored to them all of their rights and immunities as survivors of war of 1812. Juijok Cooke announces that, though defeated in a re election to a Circuit Julg'ship, he is unalterhly allied with the Democratic party, and that henceforth, for weal or woe, he will uct in concert with it. Peace both between Russia and Turkey, and .Spain and Cuba lias been proclaimed. Russia gets about all she 1 wanted, and Cuba renews her allegiance ' to Spain upon tho most favorable terms I that she could have asked. \'v to last accounts the debate in ' the Legislature upon the debt tjucstion was still going on. Tho decission. though very earnest, has in the main | been characterized by that courtesy and fairness which one would expect of the Representativesoflha Democratic party. It is not known on what day a vote will | be reached in either house, but it seems, that those in favor of re-adjustment are > in the minority. The next State tax will be five and a half mills. This, with the school tax of two mills, regular county tax, tax for payment of past indebtedness,bridge ' tax, ilc., will make the total tax for this county about thirteen mills, which is a very decided improvement upon the levies made a few years ago, when wc paid twenty and twenty-two mills. But the tax must soon be made much lower still. Col. James A. Hoyf, Editor of the Columbia J?eyi*tcr, but formerly of the Anderson Jntrffii/rucer, at a recent convention of the Democracy of Anderson County resigned the position of chair man of the County Executive Committee, a position that he Ind filled with siirnel ability and fidelity for several years. lie is succeeded by "the present young and talanteJ editor of the IntrU l''(jenccr, Maj. E. II. Murray, under whose lead the Anderson Democracy will be safe. Col. Ilovt will hereafter devote his attention more exclusively to the management of the Hyisfrr, | which ranks among the most reliable jand ably conducted papers in the coun. Religious. Mil. Editor: The Union of the Southern section of the Mnriah Association and the Moriah Union will both meet, at Sand IIill Baptist Church, Kershaw County, lor the purpose of forming one Uni >n of the two, on Friday , before the fifth Sunday in March. The following will be t'.ic business of the Southern section : 1st. A subject to be discussed viz.: What effect has l.ope on the Christian's life? Rev. Johu Kail to introduce the subject. 2nd.. An Essay to be read by Mr. J. fi. Cardnrr. Subject?what are the J evidence* that a person is not converted or Lorn again ? Jrd. An Essay to he read by Mr. H. N. Jones. Subject?to be chosen by himself: Mr. Editor picas: publish the above, and you will greatly oblige Yours Respectfully, A. S. U'lM.F.F'ORD. Mod. S. S. M. \V\ Watcreo Free liridge. Mr Editor: As very unnecessary and often severe comment is made against the County Commissioners, in regard to the Free Fridge across the Waterce river, and as credence is too frequently given to bold assertions and unjust criticism. by many who arc not acquainted with the actual status of affairs, allow mo, very briefly, to state some facts in this connection. The old Hoard of County Commissioners were unable, owing to their uncertain tenure of oflicc, and the many embarrassments that surrounded thcui at the time, to make a specific tax levy for the repair of bridges, highways, Ac. This left the new Hoard with an empty fri-ii.mirv for all such nurnoscs. and the J ^ . , : law dis inctly declares that no fund shall I l?e diverted from one channel to Another. I might, if necessary, quote tlic exact language of the law upon this subject, but it is unnecessary. Now. in this unhappy condition, what were they to do? Many will say, "Why, borrow the money." Nowhere ate the County Comniissioncrs allowed to borrow money, except in certain cases, other than the one mentioned, and only then with the consent of the Legislature. This being the case, they were left entirely without funds?without t<>o, any means to b-rrow?and the next be>t tiling to be done, was quickly d-ui", and that was to ask the merchants of the town to meet them in consultation, and sec if some means could not be devised to put this costly structure in a safe condition. It will seem strange, strange indeed, that men whoso interests were so at stake, whose trade, to a large extent, depended upon the western side of Water-e river, would be so oblivious to their interests as to ignore a call of such vital importance, but your correspondent was informed, by a member o| the Hoard, that out of sci'it'tecn invitations, onr lour man responded. Now, this being a plain, unvarnished statement of facts, can the blame not rest somuwhere else beside upon the shoulders of the worthy board of intelligent gentleimn who now constitute the Hoard of County Commissioners? Surely it must. Cannot, then, some of our enterprising mcr chants devise some means to have (his property, so valuable to the town of Camden 'f If not, it must, from pre-cut indications, ?0. and no thoughtful man will deny that it is one of the main avenues I to the business prosperity of the town. Let it ^o to decay and ruin, and all | <>f the cotton and trade from Longtown, Spears' Crack, lJcjr Creek, and their surroundings, will seek other sources, and this I am sure would be extremely disastrous to tbo town. WKST WATEHI.K. i o. o r As I stated in your last issue, Mr. IMi- j lor. that I would conclude lay remarks on Odd Fellowship l<y giving a statement of some of the advantages accruing to its membership, I will preface the statement with a reiVrenco to the condition ol the Order from its first decade to 1H7<>. At the close of its first decade, in 1SJO. when the Anti-Masonic prejudice s| cut its | uncalled-for fury, 'he cause received a flesh impulse,and numerous Lodges were instituted throughout the United States and the Territories. This impulse was. no doubt, owing in a 'urge degree, to the ef- ( forts of that goad, patriarchal father of the Order, Thomas Wildey. who labored unfalteringly in its cause. Ill IK'JIi, he had vis itcd England (or the purpose of inducing a j concert of action on the part of the Mun- j Chester Unity, in the work of the Order. FIRST t lie .succeeded in his objeel, and that bodj , adopted a portion of tlio work of the Independent Order?I he degrees of tbcCovc! ti.int and Heinembrance?and finally agreed to surrender all claims of jurisdiction over tli* Order in the United States, i From 1829 to 18(51, there had been palli1 ered into the fold of the brotherhood, i 420.003 members, and tlie revenue of the Order, derived from weakly dues, of from j six to twelve cents, amounted to $20,398,. j0>7. Out of these receipts, there was exj peases of $*>,002,000 and for the relief of the ! sick, burial of the dead, ami for widows I and orphans the sum of $8.804,000 was 1 paid : leaving a balance of $9,473,000 for ' j similar objects. The sum expended rej lieved 558.3152 members, and 37,502 widowed families. The number of orphans educated cannot be precisely piren, but in one jurisdiction. Maryland, up to 1831, there were 2,744 children iu charge of the j Committee on Education. Of that num. | bcr, 1,193 were, in that year, under its carp, and 500 had been placed nt trades and other industrial pursuits. Since 18(51, during the recent interinccne troubles, the membership of the Order fell off in the ontire jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the United States But since the advent of peace, it has revived, and the entire revenue of the Older may reach from $35,000,000, $40,000,000, with a corresponding increase of expenditure for rei lief of 1 rot hers, and for widows and orj phans. Under the jurisdiction of the Grand j Lodge of the United Slates, there are 48; Grand Lodges, 0,1578 Subordinate Lodges | and Encampments, aud 453,125 members. I ? ' ' 'I 1?T<1 f/,.

Of iliis sum there was expended fok G.550 widowed families. SI55.(196, for the relief of brothers. S 1,080,168.88. For the burial of 4.807 members, there was paiil $252,818.88. The total receipts of the Order . was about $l,ft()0.(HHJ. In addition to the Working Lodges of the Rrotherliood, there has been instituted ( Degree Lodgos if lire Daughters of Hebekali. To this degree, the brothers, the wives of brothers, and the widows of brothers who were in good standing with their lodges at their death, can be initiated Hesides distinct Lodges of the Rebekah Degree, it is a side degree to the Working | Lodges. In 1878, there were 12,805 bro- ' thers. and 12.881 sisters in the various j Rebekah Degree Lodges, and 5,748 bro- ! tbers. nndt8,2IO sisters connected with the Working Lodges. The institution of this degree is of recent date, but the beneficial effect of possessing this degree by ladies, has often been exemplified in the vicissi. tudes of life, many Indies who had the degree, finding friends when nssislancc was i most urgent, and but little, if lit all, ex- | peeled. 1lie Siniemenis j unvc n-?cu , the characteristics of llic Independent Or- , der of Odd Fellows, anil its beneficial of- | fices, hare been given with a desire to dis- j abuse those who may have looked upon the | Order unfavorably, especially in reference j to the present generation, who have come I i upon the stagcof active life, while the Or, der in this section has beer, depressed. Very many individual cases of relief to the suffering brother, the destitute and broken hearted wid jw, the helpless orphan, could be furnished to magnify the merits of llio j l Order, but probably enough has been staj ted. If I shall have created any interest in behalf of the Order, I shall be yet more 1 indebted for the privilege of occupying so j much of your columns, Mr. Editor, and ' should the Interest culminate In nn expression of any interest on the part of the laj dies of Camden in behalf of Kershaw Lodge, ! in carrying out your kind suggestion, I ari certain the Brotherhood will be grateful to : | the ladies, (who are ever ready to lend' their nid in any good cause,) as well as to j yourself. . All out of the Orber, who may have ' looked upon the insignia of the Brotherhood as unmeaning displays, must, on read- ! Ii;g and rHlculing on tho foregoing slate- ! I incuts, tee! that tliey ha^e done a "noble j ' Order" injustice. In connection with these ; "grotesque hauh'.fs," there is a language j that's mute ? there is a silence that speaks? I there is a something that may not he told j to the uninlialed?but, like tbc chart ami ! compass to the mariner, when tossed upon tlie angry waves of the ocean, these baubles arc the guides of every true Odd Fel-, low, amid the stormy scenes of life.
