Pence reigns once more in AYnreaw; Bui is there any peace hereafter lor the con sciences of those who doTaultetl on Wednesday lust ? For long weary years the pioud old C'j ininonwcalth of South Carolina lias Milien d(c,vi!s that nc one of Ii er fcisters ever en dured. The white man was ho wed to .the ground. When asked why ho did not exert himself at ukeiions the stereotyped answer was that if he voted the (oni:jit parly managers would cheat, him out, of his vote. Tho fates were against him; and he had concluded to how to the inevitable. Corruption rtalked ahr'ind in the hmd and it was useless to endeavor Lo check its march, A dire and heart less Nemesis had fixed our punish ment and attempts to shorten an .ameliorate its severity were worse thnn uselcjfsi Underthis miserable and untenable plea large numbers id' the while men of this Slate absented themselves from elections heretofore. Anil in .the hearts of many they found a prompt excuse. All were demoral ized, All felt the power.01 the cor ruption of the period, anil the total want of honor and truth on the part of our rulers. The honest; hearts of the people realized that the dogs who crept down here in the wake ol' the army, capturing and taking posses sion ol our high places of trust and honor, had no sympathy1 in common with our hopes and our ambitions. They were lu re fur plunder and for the destruction of all wo cherish 'as virtuous and honorable;. Henco, \otcrs argued, wind use is there for us to vote, they c< ni. d the ballot boxes and will change minorities'into majorities 'ail"libitum. ' Under this inlfie idea our people, in a great many instances, abstained from participation in elections during the administrations of Scott, Moses and- Chamberlain. For this thoy were wrong, but not wholly censura ble. But after the advent of Hampton into power, after corruption, filth, slime anil public prostitution >gaye plate to hnn.tfcty, virtue and intelli gence, it ut once became a crime to forbear or "refme to take part in elections. To come home, when Strakcr's f iat was declared vacant, it behooved every man who had a soul in bis body to swear instantly that bis phue should he filled by a person acceptable to the v.hole people. No excuse!for apathy. The Commission: crsweie appointed and the)' were at once a guaranty of fair-play. A nomination was made in due time by the 1 i.-indernt.i ol a geutlchihn whose very name ought to have' inspired evtl', hone-! lax-payer with enthu sintin. So u'.-o was a nomination made by the Kcpublicans which should have ('i)thused honesty with contempt, indignation and foar. Here we had. been relieved of < bain .her hi in and hi:; pilfering crew; tho sickening and ulcerous spectacle of cat 'pet-bug domination had been with drawn from our view, and we feoilita . ingin the splendid dream of a happy future, when lo! the unwelcome news \\ as thrown ujion our ears that ??.'-'i! uk< r i ? yet alive." About lo It.."! and forgive, the past, iliis hi an was thriist upon u? to bring to our iniud's cyo tho sorrows of it woeful past. About to rejoice and bo hnppyUhis carpet-bagger was brought from his contemptuous seclusion and placed before the public a second timo for honorable office. And against whom ? One of the very best men in Orangcburg County?Samuel Dibble. Under these circumstances would not any sauo man have thought that every honest soul iu this County would hava wended its way to the polls on Wednesday last? Where the false nnd timorous heart that would shirk duty in such an hour r Who so slothful as not to be a man under such - emergencies ? Alas! many! And to-day, wo say it far more in sorrow than in auger, that but for the honest colored men who voted for Dibble, he would have been defeated ! NY bite men of Orangeburg, you who remained home on Weduesday last, never ngniu blow and harp upon tho corruptions of the past. They were exceedingly agreeable (o you, and your conduct proves it. If not so, why did you assist Straker by not voting on Wednesday. Your conduct is ii blot and a shame upon you. If you arc in sympathy with the Radi cal party, why not come out and say so ? By staying home, you got the thanks of neither party, while you s'abbed honor, honesty and virtue, all ".hat Carolinians hold dear, to tho very heart's core. Shame upon you ! While we say all houor to tho noble men, both white and colored, who did their duty on Weduesday lust, we cay again, shame upon you who did r.ot! After tho Victory. The people here have been sad many days. They have felt keenly the shafts of disappointment, of sor row nnd oppression; but thank Hea ven ! they are now on the road to n better and brighter day. Cupt. Dibble has been elected aud will add renown and lustre to the ante bellum fame of this County. The vote was declared late ou Thursduy afternoon iu the midst of boisterous throats and happy hearts. Cupt. Dibble's majority over Straker was 221 votes. This was enough to throw the whole town into cctacies. And it did. Cannon's were fired, the bau 1 and innumerable friends of the successful candidate marched him to his house where he in thanking his friends for their kindness, made a most happy effort in speaking. Cnpt. Dil ble was followed by Judge Cooke, The Judge is always ready for a speech and treated his many admir ers to one of the choicest deliveries wc ever heard. Next followed L. T. Izlar, Esq., Maj. Whaley, Capt. Izlar, Mayor Boliver and M. I. Browning, Esq. All of these speeches were good, but tho ono made by Browning will long be remembered for its olo quence, originality and point. Ornngeburg should be, as she is, proud of'Kagin." After a eolation the happy crowd dispcrsod wishing t'npt. Dibble a long and Euccceeful caicer in his now field of labor. ?????????- ? ? Branchville Rejoice! The voters at this poll did their whole duty. Not thinking that the blocks would take much interest thoy did not bestir themselves much prev ious to Wednesday; but when the polls opened and crowds of colored men were seen to come sneaking in with a yellow ticket in their hands, tho sig nnl was given "up boys' and at 'em." Branchviliiaus from that time fur ward did work, and that nobly. Tho handsome majority they won for Dib ble is proff of this fact. Then, all honor to BrancUvHIe 1 and when Orangcburg County shall have been wholly redeemed, wo predict that our graceful and unassuming sister will stand first anicng the polls that helped fo throw ofTthe yok* that nor gnlJs aud oppresses. Where all did so well as at Branchville, we ?hall de-1 eist from individunlizing. The Orangeburg Box. We congratulate the peoplo of this Precinct upon tho splendid achieve* 1 meut which they made on Wednes day last. Theretofore the Radical majorities had been overwhelming, and it was with many misgivings that the Conservatives started out to work for victory on that day. But they I succeeded and we rejoico with them in their exceeding joy. We have heard many compliments puid to the I fairness and firmness of t?so managers, as also to M. I. Browning, Esq., f^r the admirable manner *in which he acted as [challenger. Where all did so nobly it is hard 10 discriminate, but many of his friends teU us that he deserves special mention, and tfSgive it to him ungrudgingly. Probate Judgship. On the 28th of this month a most glorious triumph of principles wa3 accomplished in this ouo long Ood for saken county. Samuel Dibble Esq was elected by a large majority as the representative of honest home Government, to the Legislature This is a great triumph but 'tis the beginning, We the peoplo want this thing to go on. The opportunity is now offered to keep up the good work. On Tuesday next the eleotion for one of the most important offices of tho County has been ordered, the Office of Probate Judge. Tho cau j didate wo offer our paople is cms who i is honest,'faithful experioucod and withal a capital lawyer (which is a very necessary qualification for such an office) is Charles B. Glover, Esq. The peoplo are called upon to I come out and vote for Mr. Glover if I they nro desirous of crrryiugout the ! principles announced by the last I election. If our peopli have a:iy j regard for their own interests; if.they I wish ouece again to seo good ? men in, j office: if once again they desire to ; recognize merit, and to put aside i partisan feelings with that view, let them come out ono nnd ail an 1 vote for Mr. Glover. He ha?, we bcleivc, no enemies among the colored people. Wo are sure all of his' own poople admire J him, but don't let that fact blind us.l to tho ncccsity of turning out for his support. Too much confideuce may defeat us, by keepiug us quiets, while j some one may be at the last momen t spring upon us against Mr. Glover. J Como out and work, work, and wo I have ono more good representative of principles of the highest kind. The Rugs a Turkish ttfar. There has, as yet, been no fighting of importance on tho European side of the Black Sea. The news of the destruction of another Turkish irou I clad in Ihe Danubo, by means of tor- I pedoes, is confirmed, and tho accounts j of the affair show great courage and coolness on the part of tho Russians. Tho cntiro southern bank of tho Danube is picketed by Turkish Soldies, and tho Turkish commander I has given orders that all of the in* I habitants of tho fortresses which com - poso what is known as the quad rilateral?Rustchuk, Silistria, Shum la and Varna?who have not pro visions sufficient to last six months, shall leave within twelve days ? If i this otatomont bo true it indicates that the Turks aro expecting ah ad vance across tho Danube by the Russians as soon as that river be comes low enough to make pontooni ing practieabV In Asia the situa tion seems to be daily growing more serious, and it is ovident that move ments arc progressing which may soon terminate in driving the invad ing army beyond the Turkish frontier or in opening to tho Russians tho road to Scutari and the Dardanelles. Imitating to some extent tho campaign of Pfl?Vryitch in 182$, fh<* Russians seem to have determined upon forcing a passage along the route by Erzeroum. The road from Kahrs to Erzeroum lies through a mountain range and ia easily defend ed against direct assaults, but the Russians ha ve attempted to turn all these positions by two flanking columns, one proceeding from Artvin, oh the right, aud the other from Bayazid, on the extreme left of their line. This flank movement seems to have been successful, as it is stated that the Turkish General has been compelled to abandon the position taken by hi in ut Olti, between Kars and Erzeroum, aud is failing back behind tho little city. It remains to be seen whether the Turks will allow this flanking process tobe continued, or whether they w?l slop it by cora iug out of their fortifications and oflering battle to the enemy. [communicated.] Let every man who is interested in home rule and reform eeo that he is early at the polls on tho mor ni ng of the 5th day of Juno 1877, and cast his voto for Charles B. Glover, Esq. Let n j thing keep you away from the polls. It is the high prerogative of every American citizen, who is duly Qualified according to the Constitu tion of the State in which he lives to vote. As often therefore as the oppor tunity presents itself, no citizen should fail to exercise their privilege. By remaining away from the- polls, you do injustice to yourself and the community iu which you live. Oue vote (alone may place in office, a man <>f integrity, honesty a id ability, while the loss of a single vote may entail untold evils. Don't be the orJB vot er who by his inactivity and want of interest in tho election of the 5th of June 1877, ihall foist upon the coun ty au unworthy officer, and thereby injure your neighbors aad fri ends Avoid this by voting for the man who is duly qualified in every scuce of the word for tho position. ? ???>.-????????

Russia still appears to bo concentrating along the D.inub \ Th e Czar and nil the Russian Grand Dukes, not already with the armies, will join the army of the Danube at an early day. A fresh levy, to re inforce the armies, has been oidered by both Russia aud Turkey. In Asia Minor, the Russians appear lo be eon centra ting around Erzroumatld Kars. Tho Turks there seems to be much inferior to their antagonists. Austria and England have taken no decided step. Jtoomaiiia, one ^f the Christ ian Provices of Turkey, and border ing on Austria, has declared its in dependence of Turkey, and will take part with Russia, and Servia and Bos nia, two other European Provinces of Turkey, have either declared neutral ity, or are preparing to side with .Russia. The impression is gaining ground that Russia will rapidly crush Turkey unless the latter finds an ally and efthat contingency there are no immediate indications. The riotous disposition of the fanati cal Mahometans of Constantinople is shown by the following dispatch as to what occurred there the other day. "Many thousands of tho people, led by armed Saltos, presented themselves before the palace to demand the dis missal of the ministry and the recall of Midhat Pasha. The Sultan fled to a fortress on the Asiatic side aud tho military dispersed the crowd i wounding many. The Christians fled out of the city and many Europeans took refugo on board of the ships. The consternation was general." A str?ng military force had to be j brought into action io quell this riot. South Carolina Chamberlain fan cies that his viows are still a matter of public interest, and writes to tho press that he is not a supporter of the President's Southern policy. It is not iu the nature of things that a cer tain class of persons, or their aiders or abettors, should feel the halter draw with good opinion of the law.? Ttiflndrfphiit. Tip??*, Profits' ,of Bees.?Lost spring I started with four swarms. I have just carried seven strong ones into my cellar, killing three weak ones to save what honey they hnd.; We have had about i one hundred and fifty or two hundred pounds, of honey this year. I usually kill the late weak swarms in the fall. I use no patent or frame hives, just a box of my own make. When a new swarm comes out I put them iuto a new hive, set them und<>r a tree or bush in my garden, and then go lo work. When tho hive is pretty well filled, I put a smaller box on top of it, and the bees fill tint with surplus honey. I believe it pays to keep bees, or rather to let them keep themoelves. Scientific bee-keepers will doubtless laugh at my way of keeping bees, aud say I might just as well put ray bees into 'decent hives aud make something out of them, still I go on in the same old way, believing that any farmor can keep a few swarms of bees and make them pay every time.?John Rustic us, in l*rairic Farmer. To Measure Land.?A progress ive ^farmer says the m< Bt simple way to measure laud is to take two slats about six feet long, sharpen one end of eat h, lay them upon a floor tike a pair of open compasses, so that the points shall be exactly five feet and six inches apart; now nail the other two ends together and a piece across the middle, so that it will look-like tho letter A, and the measure is finished. To measure land, place one point at the starting place, and the other also on the ground iu a straight line for destination; stand alongside the machine with one hand on top of it; take one step forward, tip up the point that is.behind, swing it around (from you) on the other poiut and set it in the line also. A person in this manner can measure correctly as fast as he can walk. Three spaces make a rod?walk straight without stop ping, count the spaces, di vide these by three, and y?>u have tho rods. - I ?111 ? !? . ? . -ti.? ? - AdRlCCLTUnE.?A correspondent of the NewYoik World says agricul ture is emphatically the thing upon which mainly depends a nation'-) pros perity.
