JSgy Wo uro in no wny responsible for tbe views or opinions of our Correspond cuts. SATURDAY, JULY 8, 187G The Democratic Nominees. It will bo heralded to the world I now that tho Tammany ring has been j crushed by tho ticket nominated at Bt. Louis, nod that canal thieves and I Keiioy roughs have been put to flight. This is the way the Demo- | crals will speak of the triumph of Tilden. There are some people however, who will view the result of tho fight at St. Louis in a different light; who will regard it as a victory for John Morrissey, the pugilist and gambler, and his brother rowdy, Bill, McMullen, a notoriously corrupt alderman of Philadelphia, aud others"of like kidney. Starting out a day or two before the convention j with less than two hundred votes, Tilden, by the manipulation of States, from many of which he cannot getan eleetoinl vote, managed to secure the nomination oh the second ballot. All descriptions of tbe proceedings of the convention and attendant circum stances agree that disgraceful dis order, wild confusion, inebriety, street fighting, bar-room brawls were the leading incidents. Thus the great reform ticket promised by the Democracy for the Centennial year was conceived in j^cbauehery and brought forth in corruption. It can not be that such a ticket will win the support of tho intelligent people of America or ?fcAuflieient number of But aside from this, the man who heads the ticket has a record that will, damn him with lnstiug infamy in the estimation of the average citizen. A peace Democrat during tho war; tho author of the peace plank in tho Democratic platform of 1864, when Mr. Lincoln on a war platform swept tho country with the vigor of combined and enthusiastic loyalty; a pretentious and scheming railroad lawyer; nn unprincipled swindler of his railroad clients, Samuel J. Tilden has risen step by step upon the ladder of Democratic fame until he has reached its topmost round?has gained the greatest glory that can be accoided to any Demo crat of this day and generation, the honor of being beaten by tho Repub lican nominee for the Presidency. The little fame ho bus earned as a reformer shrinks into nothingness when it is subjected to close analysis in . the light of sober facts. When elected to bo Governor of New York ho found frauds existing in the management of canal affairs, aud took advantage of than, aided by the ni t of venal cartoonists, to build for himself a reputation as the Great Canal Ring Breaker. In doing this, however, ho was earful not to prose cute his Democratic friends who were im plica I cd in (he frauds, and very careful to persecute the Republicans wbrt wen; likewise connected. Sus tained at all limes by Republican nflieiubj on the bench and in the Legislature of the Stale in his efforts to expose fraud and corruption, he succeeded in imposing his pretended ullcmpls at reform upon, a few people oirfsidc of'his partisan followers, for a lime, oh solid and substantial reali ties. They forgot for the time being that lip had been the associate aud intimate of Boss Tweed, and .hat his political artfulness had been learned nt the feet of I hut grea! convict-fugi tivc. Within the past year, however, the sober facts hnvc been made ap parent?so plainly apparent that the delegates who sustained him at St. Louis must have been blind either to (hat which all intelligent men know or to the interests of their party. Ab it is, Boss Tweed's bosom friend, his trusted lieutenant, the man who al ways subscribed liberally to his campaign funds, and the man who, when elected to be Governor of Hew York, was only prevented from pardoning him by the greatest possi ble moral pressure, is before the country, and his character and past record thrown open to disscctiou. His alleged popularity is sheer bun combe. Well-posted residents aud activo politicians at his own home declare most positively that he can not carry "his own county, whileevc?*y one who knows anything about his last camp .igu knows that he descend cd to the most contemptible trickery to secure voles. Among other things every chambermaid, porter and host ler in the rotate of New York was supplied with ceppcr-plnte facsimiles of personal letters to them from the press of his brothers, who are engag ed in tbc patcnt-mcdieiue business. This incident shows the low-cunning of the man, the mean side of his char acter, combined with which ho poss esses the most lofty aspirations, and a determination and a force of will which, in the service of a good cause, wculd give assurance of success. But he is not a statesman, has never ren dered any service to his fellow-men that should distinguish him above others, and unlike General Hoyes, Iiis Republican competitor, he has no record which will draw about him the sober elements of the country aud develop aay earnest of deep-seated enthusiasm. ITcndricks while not as dangerous to the interests of the laboring man, is equally as objectionable to the South and West. He is also n prominent railway man, and will, if elected, bo under the control of the etc ?? t i.;^pr.-?,c 4.u?. i3...-ft. ffile ilCkUt' is eminently a rich niau's affair, and while the poor men will be called up on to elect it, a delegation from the laboring class will never be able to get the ear of Tilden should he hap pen to get elected. They have both made fortunes iu defending railroad monopolies and as a matter of course will stick by their old clicnls, to the ueglectof the poor, if put at the head of the government. All the benefits the laboring people will ever got from them will be boforc the election. They will spend a part of their princely fortunes to secure their triumph. Aller that they will forget I everyboby but their rich associates. Aye! they will even go back on those papers whose support they purchased at twenty cents a line. But although Ihc power of money has been felt from the interest, and the ticket now before the country is labeled reform, the sentiment of the people cannot be change sufficiently to secure for it the necessary support, The money kings of the Kasl issued the edict, and labor of the We*t has been sacrificed to liie golden song of the syren. Tito battle to be waged is between labor and capital, the pro ducers and consumers on the one hand and the brokers, hankers, deal ers and railway monopolies on the other. Tbc result cannot be doubted that Hayes and Wheeler will sweep the country as the friends of labor. "The Thunderer." The self-complacency of tho Notes niatI Courier, iu claiming the credit of the South Carolina vote for Tilden, at St. Louis, would he very amusing if it were not so unjust to the able body of statesmen, who represented the State iu the Cincinnati Conven tion. The wholo performance of our colemporary, reminds one, ns Mr. Lincoln used to <?oy, of an anecdote. A mau laid a wager Hint lie could order a dog to do three things, and that the dog would obey, aud won his bet. Ho tool; the dog to the edge of the water, where .he shore sloped away very gradually iuto deep water, and threw hiiu in to somo distance. Then came tho command. "Swim sir," which the dog hnd to do to avoid drowning. Coming near tho shore, where his foot touched bot tom, tho dog received another order, "walk sir," and sure enough the dog walked to tho shore. Then/came the third and last order, witft au air of triumph, "Now sir, shakoVoursclf," which the dog oboyed?and which every dog would have doho without an order. Now there was about as much fore sight in the one ease as in the other. Can't our cotcmporary allow somo body to have some credit about some thing? We have heard"<good men say that Tilden was thcri man long before the Ncu-s and Conner wrote a line on the subject. Speigb*? of the GTeeuY^llc iVcie?* is tho wickedest journalist; in South Carolina. He can curse -like a sailor.

The Republican majority there has fallen otT considerable, and tho fight of McDcvitt with 630,000 of school money caused a*j*rcat deal of | dissatisfaction amongst ithc Republi cans. I [communicated.] Mr. Editor:?I understand that there is some talk of the'Agricultural aud Mechanical Association of our County purchvBmg Maraurino Trustee the fine stallion now o>Tned by Mr.? Andrews. I hope the ?imor is true. When I purchased stocjt in tho As sociation I d|dr^M?-JiJ*lif^fc^^ sion that I would derive somo benefit or profit by the investment, Let the Association, then purchase some fine stuck for breeding purposes, put them on our fair ground under the man agement of some good man, and with the farm, which iu itself would pay cxpouses, and the stock holders would dorivc some benefit from the stock they have owned so long without profit. A short horn bull, a good stock hog, aud a fine bred ram would pay any farmer holding stock in the Association at least thirty dollars per annum, while an income to a consid erable amount, could be derived from those who do not own shares, from use of blooded animals belonging to f tho Association, in a few years the exhibition of fine stock in our county could not be beat. Bring this matter Mr. Editor, prominently before the public, and let us get rid of the runts nud low grade ef stock that is now a disgrace aud expense to us as Fakmeus. v> [communicated.] Fourth of July 1876. Editor Oramjcburg Neu-s and Times : I have frequently noticed appeals Trom you for communications that would be of interest to your readers. I only write a letter on cc every year or so, and have concluded towiitea communication for you once in every century and for four that I may for get as to dates, &c, I have concluded on our Centennial, the 1th July, oh ! this glorious fourth?with what anx iety,'contemplating pleasure \vc have all looked forward to this da}'. Well it has at last come, and with it every body elso has come to Ornngeburg?? some going to the Barbecue, some to the pic-nic, somo to the river to bathe some to the railroad to see others ar rive and others walking the street to find out how many people wcro to bo seen in their same fix. I chanced to bo among the crowd last mentioned and I am vain enough to say that 1 cujoyed the day as well as anybody else. I chanced to meet with proba bly tho oldest man in our county, and hatfquilo a long talk with him He was horn in 1791, January 4th, was iu tho war of 1812, no a Liouton ant under Capt. Rumph. This old get tleman is n?ns his 8Cth year, lives about 15 or IG miles from Orangeburg in the neighborhood of O. B. Rilcy. his name is David Stovenday, he is of a jovial disposition and walks about our streets as nimbly as if he were only 55 or 00 years old. Ho gave many interesting accounts ofdaysand men long passed away, aud would have been glad could I have had a week's chat with him. Long life to him and to all visitors and an af fectionate farewell with the hope that we may all mgot at the next Ccntcunial. Fkkts. [com.v unicatki).] Editor OtangcburgNcies and Times: Once there was a little dog with a bob tail went out in the field one night and began to bark furiously. The old dogs went out there to see what he,was barbing at, and found the little ignorant creature sitting on his bob tail barking at the moon, uow I was at one of the School District Meetings on Saturday the 2 Ith ult. I saw a good many men that can neither write their name nor read a chapter iu the Bible doing p.ll they could to prevent any levy being made in order to carry on a public school for the purpose of teaching their chil dren to rend and write, when* at the same time they arc not able nor will ing to pay for leaching their children themselves. However after a great deal of pow-wowing a resolution was passed levying 1J mills on 1%o dollar on all taxable property iu the school District for that purpose and I fear so large a levy will brcak some of them for it will increase some of their taxes full 50 or 75 cents, that is very heavy tax to pay for sending their children to school a few mouths iu the year. Mr. Editor its a sad thing to go to a house and find parents not able to read or write their own names, the children growing up iu ignorance, never having 'been taught enough cttiqucttc to give you a civil answer when spoken to. But to return to the business of the day the lev*)* being made by a majority of the voters white aud colored then the growling and barking commenced (not at the moon) but at those that dated to vote coutrary to their little aud narrow views of what ought to bo done in such matters. However it all amount d to about the same thing as did the barking of the little dog with the -'ii'i.tail or..the moon. Ob \f nur t islature would only enact a law com pelling all parents to send their chil dren to school a few months in every year wo would soon see better bchav cd children iuour country. Our young men aud women would grow up so much better qualified and fitted to occupy and fill the station in life that our Creator intended thorn to fill. May such a law he made soon is the earnest wish of your correipondent. Ex. Hero and There In the State. An aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Peoples, live in Barnwcll. They wero born in Gloucester county, on the James river, iu Virginia. Mr. Peoples is 121 years old and his wife 123. This is the oldest living couple in the United States. Mr. Peoples is a machinist by trade. During a'storm in Barn Well" coun ty, last week, the dwelling of Mr. S. S. Turner, was stricken with light ning, the bolt tearing the weather boarding from one corner of the house knocking off the plastering in Mr. T.'s bed room, and striking a post of the bedstead on which his children lay asleep. The interchange of courtesies be tween Gov. Chamberlain and Gen. Kershnw, hist week, must have been exceedingly, and Gen. Kershaw never represented the popular sentiment more correctly than when ho said that "no one would give Gov. Cham berlain a more cordial and hearty support than he, in his efforts to effect reforms in the administra'ion of the affairs of the state government." This .is the feeling, undoubtedly, of nine-tenths of the white citizens of the State. The Roy. Emanuel Caughman, at Leesville, in Lexington county, writes to Rev. A. Bollcs, July 2, 1870, and says: "This will inform you that the Rev. Samuel Bouknight, of our Evan gelical Lutheran Synod, of South Carolina, is no more. We buried him yesterday ,evening, at 1 o'clock. Myself and the Reverends Boozer and Linder of the Lutheran church, and Clifton of the Methodist Episco pal church South were present. The Rev. Mr. landler delivered a sermon on the occasion. Wc all took part in tho services. The Lutheran church has lost a faithful laborer. The Bicycle In England. The bicycle coutinues to gain fresh devotees in England, and it is no Ion* ger open to sceptics to pooh-pooh the advantages of the machine as a means of locomotion. A very simple au swer to such cavillers might be given by the 500 bicyclists who recently as sembled in Bushy Park,near Loudon for a grand meet. Tho bicyclists were for the most part young men, but the middle aged were well repre sented, and there were some who might claim to be venerable, There were not a lew noblemen and mem bers of Parliament there too, and al together it was a very distinguished gathering. That the metropolis should be able to produce nearly 600 riders at a casual meet is of itself strong evidence ol the popularity of the bicycling art, but there are other facts which still more, strikingly de monstrate it. Whereas last year England could only boast of seven teen bicycle clubs, their number has iu one short twelve month risen to sixty-eight. Leaving London for the moment altogether out of the calcula tion, it is estimated that there are two thousand members of clubs in the provinces; besides some 8,000 riders unattached to any organized society, The art is not without its votaries and patrons iu high quarters. Mr. Lowe's devotion to it is notorious; the Prince imperial is connected as an honorary member with the West Kent Bicycle Club, while the Earl of Lewis President of the Tumbridgc wclls and Lord Gordon Gronville of the Peterboro clubs. More convin cing than anything else, however, as to tho increasing practice of bicy cle riding is the fact that the firm of Conventry who are the principal manufacturers of the machine are turning out more than a hundred weekly. The improvements which have of late years been made on the original clumsy velocipede have natu rally tended to increase its popularity There is no wabbling and clattering as there used to be with the bygone iron-tired wooden wheels, and the machine of to-day woul d be perfectly noiseless in its motion but fur th*j lit tle tinkling bell which is introduced to indicate tbe appro neb of the bicy elisO Turnip and Ruta baga Seeds.
