Alderman Jaehne of New York was sentenced by Judge Barret to nine years and ten months in Sing Sing last Thursday. Jaehne was the first of the Aldermen convicted of receiving a bribe in connection with the granting of the Broadway franchise to Jake ?Sharp's surface road. This is the way the Democratic party serves its rascals. The News and Courier of Tuesday publishes side by side the expressions used in Congressman Tillman's last letter as to ths present relations of the Southern people to their fellow-citizens of the North, and those used by Senator Butler upon the same subject in his re cent speech to tho Dragoons. The com parison places Tillman in an unenviable light. Senator Beck's zeal for the confir mation of the Republican postmaster of Louisville is untempered. "Why should a Republican woman be appoint ed to office in preference to a Democrat ? And why should Democrats ask for such an appointment? Willis, the Blairite of the House, caused the ap pointment, aided and abetted by Sena tor Beck. It is a very censurable pro cedure and deserves rebuke. Charleston thinks it outrageous that she should be represented in Con gress by a man from a country town, and is anxious to send one of her law yers to look after her interest there. This is pardonable enough, but the gallant sons of Charleston did not want the position when it required hard work and money to get it. A country man was good enough then, and unless we are very much mistaken will have to be good enough for some time to come. _ As will be seen by an article publish ed elsewhere in this issue from the Charleston Sunday Dispatch, it is likely that Mr. Dibble will be opposed for re-election to Congress by Mr. W. II, Brawley, of Charleston. Mr. Brawley is no doubt a most excellent gentleman, but we rather think he is too much interested in railroads and other corpora tions to make a good representative of the people. There are too many such men in Congress now, and we hope South Carolina will not add another to the number already there. We fully endorse every word the Dispatch sa3*s is reference to Mr. Dibble. "Yes," remarked the Hon. Posey Stubbs of the wire grass district, "I managed to get $60,000 out of the River and Harbor boodle for the improve ment of BearwaUow Creek, but my constituents have not risen to the emergency, I am sorrv to say." "How isthat?" asked the stranger. "Why, they write me that they can't find the d?d creek," cried Mr. Stubbs in dis gust. "Did you ever hear of such stupidity ? I telegraphed the blooming innocents at once to rechristen a con venient watering trough." The above pretty well illustrates on what flimsy ground appropriations are made by Congress. Representative Ward, of Indiana, says the Democrats will lose that State in the next election unless the present War Tariff is reduced. They will be hurt in other States than Indiana if the blood sucking is not cut down. On the other hand it is claimed by some Democrats in Washington that they will gain two members in California and ono each in Louisiana, Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois. But they are cer tain to lose heavily in Ohio, Iowa and Michigan. If the Democrats do not hold their own in the South and gain in New York they may wake up in November with a consciousness that something has hit them and that the next House will be Republican. Up to this date the President has in all sent about 2,100 nominations for civil offices to the Senate. Of these 1.7U0 have been confirmed and only 13 rejected. The remaining 400 will be disposed of in a comparatively short time, and it is not expected that the proportion of rejections will be in creased. The nominations of Mr.Cleve land, therefore, are treated every whit as well by a Republican Senate as if made by an executive of their own party. Pennsylvania nominations it had been anticipated would meet with much objection, but of the entire 150 sent in all have been confirmed with but two or three exceptions, and these are still pending and will go through. Nearly all of these nomina tions were made at the instance of Mr. Randall, and Senator Don Cameron has taken as much interest in having them confirmed as if they were his own per sona- and political friends. .?f~ _I Partie?. The comaionly accepted political maxim, that two great parties are absolutely necessary in a Republic like ours, may be true of a nation of extend ed territory with varied interests and a mixed population; but we are dispos ed to doubt its application to a state of narrow limits like South Carolina, where the population and interest are so nearly hcincgoneouij. -There are only two elements in our population, thj white and the colored, and the interests of both are identical, based upon agricultural products and upon whatever system of government that will yield the greatest protection to life and property. These elements, there; fore, left to themselves, would very naturally unite into one great political party for mutual protection. That they have diverged is due not to any principle of action belonging to either, but to outside influences directly op posed to the best condition of both. After the war Northern fanatics found them standing in abeyance to each other and saw that it was for their in terest, both religious and political, to keep them so. Hence every effort was made by "these people" to array the races against each other in order that I they might reap an abuneant harvest of plunder and spoil by the division. These influences were checked in '76 by exposing the dark ways of the thieves and murderers who controlled them, and have been made comparatively in effective since then by the experience of those who were used as tools to further their nefarious designs. The inside history of penitentiaries may give the subsequent lives of many of these gentlemen and a just social ostra cism stamps the rest as unworthy of the respect, to say nothing of the con fidence of the people among whom they live as self-condemned criminals. Their former tools are already supremely in different as to their fate, and as wealth and- comforts multiply, under Demo cratic rule, around the homes of our colored citizens, they will despise the very memory of their bondage to such vile miscreants. All the requirements of the community and every feature of our social condition point, at this time, to political unity and it will be worse than folly?suicidal for any class of our citizens to think of division in the Democratic party. Its principles are broad and liberal and, when properly used, conduce to the well-being of every citizen. Its aim is the best gov ernment at the least cost to the govern ed; and, if this result has not been reached, it can only be obtained by unity of action, particularly on the part of the controlling element of our population. The colored voters hold the balance of power and, in case of a division among ?the whites, will join that faction which promises them the largest share in controlling the govern ment. The success of such a scheme would make the division permanent and once more put in jeopardy the best interest of the whole State. In this crisis, therefore, when new problems are being solved, new schemes are being devised and new patriots are seeking to enter the approaches to office, our peo ple had better think seriously before they hazard the unity of the Demo cratic party. Our interest being one and our aim being the same, safety and prosperity for every citizen lie not in division but in the political union of the whole population. It cost too much to wrest South Carolina out of the hands of political thieves for us ever to abandon her again to their tender mercy. The type of patriotism which finds its origin in the commingling of French, English and German blood in the veins of the citizens of Orangeburg will not suffer so ruinous a disaster to befall the State. Mr. Tilliiuin ltcplle*. "Farmer Tillman" rises this week to reply to the many criticism of the peo ple and press on the recent convention and its results. He emphatically denies that it was "Tillman's Convention all the way through," that he controlled its deliberations or appointed its com mittee on business; but he asserts posi tively and boldly that it was a repre sentative body of the farmers of the State and that time would prove the truth of his assertion. He indulges a prediction that the farmers of the State will ratify most if not all the acts of the convention. In meeting the ob jection made to the Agricultural Col lege that it will cost two much, Mr. Tillman declares that an appropriation of $75,000 and $25,000 tax on fertilizers which can be used the first year to build and equip it, are all the funds he wants for present purposes. He pro poses to use convict labor where-ever it can be utilized, also the chemical labora tory of the board of agriculture and to make up the library out of the agricul tural books of the State library and with these helps he guarantees that the college can be opened on the 1st of January, 1888. We admire the candor of Mr. Tillman and his positive manner in dealing with the questions before him, but hope that these topics will engage the best thinkers, before they be finally determ ined upon. In our present' condition it is not wise to hurry over important matters, but let us work cautiously and surely. In a few weeks we will begin the publication of a new story entitled the "Bank of California." The New Bishops. The General Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church South, in session at Richmond, last week elected the following Bishops: The Rev. Dr. Win. Wallace Duncan, the Rev. Dr; Charles B. Galloway, the Rev. Dr. Eu gene Russell Hendrix and the Rev. Dr. Joseph Stanton Key._It_will afford .tho-^ghesF~gTatlfication to -the''Methodists of our State to see that it has been honored in the selection of one of their ablest, most eloquent and most beloved, ministers to the office of Bishop, in Lhe?person of Rev. Wm. Wallace Duncan, D. D. The distinguished honor could have fallen upon none more worthy to wear the responsible robe of that office. Bishop Duncan, we believe, was born in Virginia, from which Stats he came in youth with his distinguished father, when the latter came to take a profes sorship in Wofford College, Spartan burg, which he filled with so much dis tinction to the day of his death. Bishop Duncan also filled a chair in the same institute for many years, and for sev eral years past has been the efficient and successful agent of the College, and by his eloquent appeals in its be half has done much to place it upon a* sure .mancial foundation. He is re cognized as one of the most progressive and eloquent preachers of the South, and his indomitable energy will intro duce an infusion of vigor into the College of Bishops, which will aid it to meet the demands which the rapidly expanding interests of the church need [ at this time. The newly elected Bishop is the brother of Colonel D. R Duncan I of Spartanburg, and of Colonel D. P. Duncan, President of the State Agri cultural Society and Railroad Commis sioner. T??e Georgia Canvass. The political campaign over in Geor gia between General Gordon and Major Bacon is waxing exceedingly warm. At a meeting in Augusta last week where a joint discussion was to have taken place between the two rivals, the crown refused to listen to General Gor don and forced him to take his seat by yelling for Major Bacon. We have no particular interest in this Georgia fight, and want our friends across the Savannah to settle the matter to suit themselves without any outside help( but when a meeting undertakes to silence charges against its favorite by insulting an honored rival candidate, we would warn it that it is on the wrong track, and are doing its candi date more harm than good. That Au gusta meeting will make thousands of friends for General Gordon, and a few more such meetings will put him in the Gubernatorial chair by an unpro?Bdeutr ed majority. When Major Bacon failed to get up at the meeting and rebuke the crowd that were insulting his rival he lost a golden opportunity to make thousands of friends, not only in Geor gia, but everywhere where justice is recognized and fair play considered a virtue. Another Job Sqnelched. In the house on Thursday the bill to appropriate 8800,000 for subsidies to American steamship lines, already passsd in the senate was defeated in the committee of the whole by fifty-six majority. The announcement of this vote elicited round after round of ap plause from the opponents of the amendment and evidently rattled its friends. When they came to the vote in the house many of them changed and the vote showed nearly eighty majority against the amendment. This caused another burst of applause. Twenty-four republicans voted Against the amendment, more than twice as many as were expected to do so. On the other hand the number of Demo crats supporting the amendment was unexpectedly small. Georgia voted solidly against it. The only votes it received from the South were those of Tillman and Small, of South Carolina, Blanchard and (Jay, of Louisiana. We are glad that the Democratic House squelched this Republican Senate job. Tin- lteuson We are Poor, The Greenwood correspondent of the Tress and Banner has been getting up some figures on the amount of groceries sold by the merchants of that place since the beginning of the present year, and his figures are no doubt correct. He says the following figures will show the amount of groceries sold therefrom 1st January to 10th May: 57 car loads corn, 22 car loads bacon, 9,560 bushels meal, 2,391 barrels Hour and 445 barrels molasses. There is not an article enumerated in the above list but what could have been raised right there in the neighborhood. With such facts as these staring us in the face should we wonder that we are an impoverished people, and that the cry of "hard times" goes up from one end of the State to the other. The idea of raising cotton to buy meat and bread is so preposter ous that it does seem that it would re quire no argument to demonstate the fact to our farmers. But somehow they fail to see it. Henry Todd, a colored man living at Darien, Ga., has just died. All the whites of the town attended his funer al. He was very successful in busi ness, and left property worth all of 8125,000. He made liberal bequests to the Presbyterian and Episcopal churches, white, and to the Baptist, Episcopal and two Methodist churches, colored. I Our Congressman. In the Dispatch several issues past, it was given as a rumor that Major Wm. H. Brawley was mentioned as a probable candidate for Congress from the First District, so ably and energet ically represented by the Hon. Samuel Dibble. That rumor it seems had a solid foundation, for it is now admitted by Major Brawjey's-friends.-and-tt 'ls' saidTm'rierTiis'recognition, that he will be a candidate in opposition to Mr. Dibble, and has so notified him. It is true, that the Dispatch is in sympathy with the movement for a new deal, stili it does not favor a change of officials, when it is not necessary for good and sufficient reasons. Major Brawley is a most courteous gentlemen, able lawyer, and invaluable citizen, and would make a most excellent congressman, because of his thorough acquaintance with public details, and his admitted healthy patriotism. Thesestriking q ualifications ?however, cannot make his candidacy a strong one with a large number of citi zens, or capture the support of a suffici ent number of followers to warrant the belief that his candidacy will be suc cessful. The reasons are, that Mr. Dibble has proven an able and active member of Congress, and has not been found wanting in any public duty that he knew to be his, or was brought to his attention by any one of his consti tuents. There is, therefore, in the] judgment of the dispastionate citizen no substantial cause to displace a rep-1 resentative known and proved to be j good and efficient, merely to experi ment with a new man, or to gratify a whim of a few people, however worthy and excellent they may be. Mr. Dib ble richly deserves the consideration of the people of this city, and of this en tire district, and indeed of the whole State; for there is no portion of the people he has not willingly and at all times served to the best of his appre hension of their wants. The city of Charleston is especially indebted to him for the liveliest interest in all that has effected her welfare since he has been her representative. It needed but an in timation from an individual or public | body, to receive his aid in formulating or executing any project of public good. He is a true and faithful public servant, and richly deserves the well done of his constituency; and as far as lies in the power and influence of the Dispatch, he shall most assuredly get what he merits.?Charleston Dispatch. A Curiosity of Polities. Among the. many changes in the I political world one turn is most pecu-1 liar. Ex-United States Senator D. T. Patterson, of Tennessee, and son-in-law of ex-President.Tohnson, was on Thurs day appointed postmaster of Home, Green County, Tennessee. The place is worth 8140 per year. Ex-Senator Patterson was recommended by Senator Witthorne, who was a clerk in the post office department when Mr. Patterson was in the senate. Thus, an ex-postal clerk as a United States senator recom mends an ex-senator for a postal place hardly worth one month's salary of j such a clerk. The people of Hornel wished ex-Senator Patterson to take the place, although he is a very old man. Machinery. To Farmer* and Lumbermen.

C. ia memoria:?!. john asbury zeigler. The Supreme Arbiter of the universe, whodoeth all ??ngs well, and before whose decrees we should always bow with humble Christian submission, having seen fit, in His Inscrutable wisdom, to remove fiom earthly scenes our beloved brother and deacon, John Asbury Zeigler, and thansfcr him to the courts of eternity, it is proper that we, as a church, should give some ex pression of our appreciation of his virtues, and place on record a brief sketch, at least, of his life and character. Brother Zeigler was born in Orangeburg County on the 14th of November, 1833, and died at his home in our town on the 3rd of May, 188C, in the 53rd year of his age. Dnrlng his early manhood, the war be tween the States commenced, and in obedi-1 ence to convictions of duty and the call of | patriotism, he took up arms in defence of home, and discharged his duty faithfully and conscientiously as a Confederate sol dier to the end of that lamentable strug gle. During the war, he was horn again to newness of life in Christ Jesus, our Lord, and was baptized by Rev. .0. \\*. Whilden. In 1S70, he was elected Superintendent of] our Sunday School, an office which he held up to the day of his death. In 1**4, in con- ] sequence of failing health, he desired to resign this office, but so greatly was he be loved by teachers, officers and chihired that Ins wishes were overruled, and he was continued in the position, and the active duties of the office were transferred to an assistant. In October, 1S7U, he was ordain-1 cd a deacon. It will thus he seen that he was twenty-five years a member of the Baptist Church, and over fifteen years dea con and Sunday School Superintendent. In commenting upon the character of the subject of this sketch, it is not our intention to indulge in fulsome eulogy. It is our de sire only to record facts which all our hearts | can fully attest. To say that brother Zeig ler was a good and honest man, is but to | echo the sentiment of the entire community in which he lived. And what more could we say? Only this?and that the highest eulogy that mortals can receive?the testi mony of the church, that he was a Christian. As a citizen, he was conscientious, houcst and true; as a soldier, he was faithful and brave, but, as a Christian, he tiuged all the I other relations of life with a halo of celes* | tial beautv, holding up his Lord and Mas ter Jrsus Christ, so that all who look might receive salvation. Although our brother has been removed front us, he has left us a legacy in his Christian character. This life is but a jour ney to an unending one that lies befere us, and, in the weary pilgrimage, "Our dim eyes ask a beacon, and our weary feet a guide, And our souls of all life's mysteries, seek the meaning and the key; Lo ! a cross gleams o'er our pathway?on it hangs the Crucified? And He answers all onr yearnings by the whisper, "Folllow Mc!" Our brother heard, obeyed and followed this gentle whisuer. Like him, may we, too, obev the sweet wooiugs of the Cruci fied one", and find peace beyond the river. Done by order of tl* Orangeburg Bap tist Church, May 23rd, 186U J. W. LOWMAN, B. Williamson, Stiles B. Mellich amp. Committee. Obituary. Died suddenly, in Orangebure County, May 8th, 1886, Mn. Jebemiah Riley, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. In early life he gave himself t? Christ, joined Antloch Baptist Churm, and was baptized by Rev. Thomas Adams, shortly after wards he joined the Four Holes Baptist Church, and remained an active member thereof-for many years. He united with others in constituting Walnut Grove Bap tist Church, and remained a consistent and useful member of said church until his death. As a deacon for many years, he discharged his duties faithfully. All who knew him respected and esteemed him for his many virtues. As a citizen, neighbor and friend, a galaxy of amiable qualities cluster around Iiis character. Ever ready to discharge the duties of life promptly and faithfully?kind, benevolent and sincere, admired'for his integrity. In his domestic relations, he possessed many excellencies worthy of imitation, a devoted husband and an indulgent parent. As a professor of religion, humble, sincere and devout. For manv years he was an active member of the Charleston Baptist Association, and took a deep interest in its deliberations; ever zealous for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom, and for his own growth in piety. He lived to see many of his children occu pying prominent positions in the church; beloved for their zeal and usefulness. In his death, Walnut Grove Church has lost an exemplary member, and the com munity a bright Christian light. He has) passed away, leaving a record without a stain. Another sheaf has been gathered into God's great garner, for he was truly ripe for the harvest, He has gone to rest. He has left a devoted wife, many children and friends to mourn their irreparable loss. May God sustain and comfort them in their bereavement. "Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord." D. W. C. Tribute ol* Respect. Since it has pleased our Heavenly Father to send into the St. Paul's Sunday School the Angel of Death, which hushed the voice of a beloved and faithful scholar of the Infant class, wo deem it proper to show in some way our esteem for Maud Bmnson, the earnest little student of God's word, and though we miss her familiar voice and ready answers, showing that her lessons were well prepared, yet shall we think) alone of our loss?

THE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso ciation 5s marvellous in the annals of. life insurance enterprise. Its name has be come a tower of strength, and has been well earned by the untiring devotion_o?_ President Harper and his associates. Its astonishing prosperity has provoked attaclis which are best repelled by a frank and full exhibit of its greatly increasing line of business. Up to July 1,1885, this shows a gain of no less than ?13 214,580 over that of the corresponping period last year. In June alone its mortuary receipts ex ceeded ?250,000, of which over ?60,000 went into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress upon which the association justly prides itself. This reserve now amounts to 3425, 000, and is employed for three purposes onl- -to pay death claims, if any should occur in excess of the American Fpperience Mortality Tables; to make good any poss ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account, and to bo apportioned among those who have been members of the Association fif teen years, etc. As the first and second contingencies named are not likely to arise, the third object is the one upon which the-' fimd is practically expended. It is full of other good points, among which may bo mentioned the economical salary list?less than 850,000 for carrying on the whole work of the vast institution?and payments to widews and orphans at tho rate of over ?2,000 cash eash day.?From the old and conservative New York Daily Journal of Commerce, July 10,1885.
