" SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1877". ~ Two years ago the" Oriingcburg County Fair far exceeded the Slate Fair in every respect, and such being the fact we would urge our citizens to every exertion to beat the Orange burg County Fair of two years ago. ] Wc have an honest pilot at the wheel, and with the aid of his faith ful and dcligcut deck hands the old ship of the Stale will never be tossed upon the rock of corruption again. It is our honest opinion that there is nothing that could ha of more advantage lo the succus of the Stato than for the pe?plo to patronize the above enterprise. The fact is it, not only brings tho people together generally in social contact with each other, but it puts life and vigor in the State, aud wc do sincere lyhopc that our coming County and State Fairs will far excel anything of the kind that has ever before been held. Fanners, Mechanics and citi zens generally, be up and doing. "Frank-' Bailed. About half past G o'clock on Thurs day afternoon says the Columbia It '/; istcrl a hack drove up to the door of ? Trial Justice Marshall's oflice. ISx Governor Moses and the turnkey at the jail alighted ami entered the building. Shortly afterwards, the ex Governor was seen walking down "Washington street, going towards Assembly, in company with a friend. Upon inquiry we were informed that Moses had been bailed in the sum of ?10,000?collaterals hav ng been put up by personal friends of the ex-Governor for his appearance at the General Sessions in October next. Thus ends the second Chapter of Moses. Our text on this subject shall be taken from I he same book the next time wc preach on this sub j'ect, aud on that occasion we expect lo tell the populace how the 1'hilis tines deceived and then slew him. [COM MUX I CA'1 KD.] To the Colored Citizens of the County of Orangeburg. Feeling that it is not inappropriate in me, as a Representative of the people of the County, to address you a word of advice, in a matter serious ly affecting your welfare, 1 avail myself of the columns of the News axd TiMKSj lo caution you against hasty action concerning the Libcrian movement, now agitating the minds of many of your race. It is always the case, when induce ments are advanced for the purpose of persuading persons (o leave their homes, and go lo distant lauds, that the distant country is described as a land possessing very superior attrac tions, a land flowing with milk and honey, &e. It is likewise true that in very few instances, docs the reality come up to the glowing descriptions which have been given. My advice to you is this: If any number of you are seriously thinking of going across the ocean lo Liberia, do not make up your minds lo go until you have sent one or more of your parly ahead, lo return and give you correct information on the subject. I have been informell that several years ago, a number of the colored people went lo Liberia from Newborn* Cotiuly, and some of thorn hnvc returned, und rcpoit that South Carolina is a far better place to livo in, than Liberia. Samuel Dibble. At the regular monthly meeting of Charleston Typographical Union, No. 43; held July 28, 1877, the fol lowing preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Ciiarlkstox, July 28,1877. To the Printers and Workingnicn of the United Stufet : The proprietors of tho Chariest >n News ami Courier have issued the fol lowing printed circular : Charleston, S. C; July 11,1877 Mr, T. C. Neville, Foreman of fftc Composing "Room : Dear Sir : We desire in this communication to address, through, you, the compositors of tho Nt'ws and Courier, Twice within the j>asl two years tec have reduced the price of compost ti"u. In each instance the printers in our employ, appreciating the necessi ty of the case, accepted tho reduc tion in a spirit that was at once creditable to their good sense, and gratifyi g to us. Wo do not consid er the price we are now paying forty cents, loo much. . With fair play to wards us on tho part of the printers of Charleston; we should be able, as we arc perfectly willing, even at an ab solute loss to ourselves every week u3 long as the hard limes continue, to pay this price punctually. But we will not continue to pay out-composi tors forty cents, if we have to face the competition of parties wh > sue eeed in getting the same work done for them for little or n< thing. This is not business competition at all. It practically amounts to a combination between our rivals and the composi tors who work for them for nominal pay, to injure us, without even bene liting themselves. If this kind of competition is al lowed to go on. we shall feel com pcllctl on and after Saturday, the 2 1st instant, to fix the price of com position in the "News and Courier office, at thirty cents. If the price is low, it will at least be paid in some thing better than promises W<_ would much rather continue in pay forty cents, and we repeat that with fair play on the part of the Char I s ton Printers; we shall do so. We ail mit that the discrimination of which we complain is not the work of t!i c gentlemen in our own Composing Room. But they ami we arc in the same boat, and they must boar their share of an injury which is ihn tli root result of the action, or nun ac lion of their craft. We arc confident that the priutcrs of Charleston, can, by just and united action, prevent the necessity for the reduction to thirty cents. But, if the reduction be made, we desire it to be understood that it will continue no longer than while the printers charge one price to us and no price at all to a rival newspaper whose proprio tors are as well able as ourselves to pay a full rate in cash for composi tion. Very truly yours, KlOKl'AN, Dawson ifc Co., Proprietors of the N ews and Courier. Whereas the above circular has been issued for the ostensible pur pose of causing a strike by the com positors who do not work in the office of the x\cws and Courier, a piain en deavor to curtail the amount of work to be obtained in this city, and an at tempt to secure a m mo poly which is opposed to the best interests of all the printers and workingnicn of this city; And whereas, the proprietors of the Hews and Courier, when they had a monopoly, reduced the pay of their workmen, and a few months ago made a demand for a further reduc tion, in order, as they said, to keep their paper ajloat\ to which the Union acceded; And whereas the proprietors of the Si:u:i and Courier did fail to pay their hands in full for a lengthy period, and at a time when they hud a monopoly, but now because another office, em ploying members of Charleston Typographical Union, No. 43, failed to pay their {hands in full during two weeks in last February and paid them in part onlysonic few weeks I ago, they now use a despotic'power ciyer their tvorkmen in order io force ' them to lesort to measures which they think might possibily annihilate all rivalry, restore the monopoly I they heretofore enjoyed, and enable them to dictate not only to the work ingmen, but the whole community ; And whereas, they acknowlcdga that the present rates of pay aro not too much, and declare their ability to pay the same, with equal competition, clearly showing that they arc en deavoring to make use of the work ing pi inter to carry out their designs to tho detriment of the workingman and the community at large; there fore be it Resolved, That we denounce the action of the proprietors of the Ncics and Courier us being opposed to the ' interests of the working nan and tha general public. Resolved, That we regard the action of the proprietors of the News and Courier as selfish, and as calculated, by the. use of despotic jioiccr, to throw out of employment a large portion of the members of this Union. Resolved, That as our objects arc solely for the purpose of making a snppoit for ourselves and families wc appeal to all classes to sustain tisih our honest and just rights. R-solved, That we sympa thise with the former members of this Union, wdio are now working ' in the Nchj.. and Courier office, who, through ne cessity, were forced to abandon the Union?compelled to yield toaniost tyrannical power?or else be com pelled to relinquish their positions to parties from abroad, who hive no interest whatever with Charleston, and to the detriment of.those who were born, and reared amongst us. Resolved, That this preamble and these resolutions be published under the seal of the Union, and that all papers friendly to the printer find workiugm.in bo requested to copy them und that a copy be sent to Me chanics' Union No. 2.

Ex-Governor Moses has been closeted with the committee for two days past, and I am informed by one of the numbers that his revelations have been of much interest iu enab ling them to follow old trails and 0 pen uew ones. Yesterday, in com pany with one of the committee, he went in search of a certain box of papers which, locked up in the drawer of one of his pieces of furniture, had been sold with it and had passed into other hands. The furniture was traced to its purchaser, when it was found that the drawer had remained undisturbed in consequence of the loss of the key to the lock, aud the bundle of papers was recovered intact and turned oyer lo the committee. These papers are said by Moses to be a per fect bonanza of facts of interest to tho public ami to the parties most con cerned. Their contents will appear in due time. It has not been stated heretofore that in the long list of fraudulent pay certilica tcs which have firmed the basis of the recent numerous arrests the names of the payees are all fictitious and invented for the occasion; instance, C. L. Frank fort, whose initials in reverse order arc those of Cardozo for whose bene fit that particular certificate was drawn in the general division. Other like tell-tale combinations occur Search in tho several counties for owners cf these pretended mimes has utterly failed. It is slated here that several of the fugitives who have fleel this Stato and Justice within a fortnight past have made their way to Pennsylvania and Massachusetts under the assurance 1 that no requisition for them will be honored. TJic strength of their re fuge will be tested. The committee are as cautions and reticent as they have been zealous and patient, and their success has fully justified their secrecy; but I am en abled to answer your readers, on the strength of confidential information in my possession, that only a lair be ginning has been uvulc as yet, and for the rest the Sirocco cometh which shrill blast many more false and fair reputations. Tho report is that the committee has made such progress, in laying baro the corruption, by which Patter son was elected United States sena tor, as to warrant them in obtaining a warrant for the arrest of H. (J. Worlhington, the collector at Char leston, who is understood to have been Patterson's Man Friday. W orthington was arrested quietly, it is said, on Saturday, and will make his debut before Judge Marshall on Tuesday or Wednesday. Jonc3 has not been bailed. S. J. Lee is very anxious for a hearing be fore the committee. All the accused are still confined in jail when not be t?re the committee. Tho Mexican Annexation Scheme. Washington, D. C? July 26.---The Mexican annexation managers, in tho shape of adventurers and bummers, who have remained somewhat passive since the railroad strike set in, have again taken up the theme, and proN pose to agitate it vigorously to the end that Secretary Kvarts may be im pelled to announce a policy at an early day. The Sunday Herald, of tins eiiy, supposed to be the organ of the clique who want invasion,annexa tion or anything else calculated to brew a first class row, has the follow ing double leaded article: "1 he government is at a stand still regarding the Mexican question. It j has received from the Diaz adminis tration the first installment due from Mexico under the award of the Mexi can Claims Commission, and there is reason to believe that Diaz will be ready to pay the next installment due about six mouths hence with satis factory promptness. This money has been received [by the American government without formally recog nizing Diaz, but the fact of its pay ment and receipt is embarrassing Ad ded to this is the further fact that Diaz seems to be anxious and willing to avoid all provocation of trouble with the United Slates, and lias there fore done much toward repressing outrages on the Hi6 Grande border. It is a well known fact, however, that the local authorities on the. Rio Grande, the Alcaldes and municipal official-*, have encouraged these out rages, as have, other leading citizens, and profited by I Item by levying a ta-x of fifty cents per head on stock .-tolen fro* the American side, of the river; that similar taxes have b.vii levied by similar officials in the inter ior, and that the traffic in this kind " of stolen property has been frequently recognized in an official way by minor officials in Mexican territory. The administration is determined to put an cud to this state of affairs by at. ncxing a belt of territory south of the Rio Grande to the United States; but thus far the Mexicans have avoided j giving any sufficient provocation for j such annexation, So long as Diaz c* his successors continue to pay the damages legally assessed, in con fortuity with ^international practices, the sought wfor pre text will be avoid cd." Amnesty to the Crooked Whiskey Wen. Wasi, koton, D. C, July 31. The President is now considering applications for amnesty to parties in Alabama and other Stales, against whom prosecutions have been institu ted for violation of iho internal revenue laws. The subject has been referred to the Attorney General and the Commissioner of Internal Rev enue for their views, and thcrepoit of the latter officer has already been made. Mr. Rawll, tho Commissioner, says that no precedent should he es tablished in one case or district which will not admit of general ap plication to the numerous cases Jof\ applications for amnesty in different States, but he is favorable generally to extending amnesty in cases where j the parties concerned in illicit dis tilling come forward and surrender their still. Gen. Forney, of Alabama, who is now here urging amnesty, wishes this principle to he extended to persons who are able to show they have no stills now in their possession, and who engage henceforth to avoid these offenses. The government is disposed to qpnsiJer the application for amnes ty favorably, but the difficulty is that the United States District Attorneys and Marshals ^have an interest in keeping alive these prosecutions, and rcncwiug them upon insufficient rea sons. How Leslie Did It.?While the immaculate C. P. Leslie was1 Land Comminsioncr, a resolution call ing for an inspection of his book was adopted. The books were produced in due time, and lo^ind behold ! they were found to be in the same condi I lion as when received from the bin ! der?not a pen stroke in any of them He said the law required the books lo be kept clean and neat, and, as he wrote a miserable hand, he thought he would comply fully with the law, aud not deface them. The committee were compelled to accept this condi tion of things, and as a consequence, for these and other reasons, no suits were entered against Charles, not withstanding the notorious -'11011 hole Swamp" and other transactions. The '?High Joint" may perhaps, find an opening for a suit. They will certainly try if More than ordinary interest is manifested in .administration circles regarding the proceedings of the Re publican convention in Ohio to mor row, in reference to the President's Southern policy. Secretary Sherman said to-day' that information received hy him was of tho most assuring character, and that he believed the convention would most heavily ap prove of the course of the administra tion:?Journal of Commerce.
