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.

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.

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

Of iliis sum there was expended fok G.550

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.
