Editors'Orangcbuirg Times:
Ah a subscriber to, and reader of your
young jouruul, I feel.in a measure identi-'
lied with its welfare and prosperity, and
?airi interest Jn watching its growtth and
firogress. Its,honest priueij)les and poli
ties seem to have excited some degree of
surprise in the . community, and it is in
teresting to observe;the unusual buzzing
'of the Radical gad flies which arc stirred
'up and veliomouson the advent to life of
Vonr promising paper. Apropos of this.
The amount of ??paee in the "Charleston
Republican," of the Gth inst?, devoted to
ridicule nuil abuse of "The Times" und
its politics must forcibly impress any one
who may by any misfortune have .that
fldleetnblu Bhect thrust upon him for pe
tiusnl.
The "Republican," appears to be par
ticularly indignant that in this To\vn and
County the.re should be a live "Demo
cratic paper," and that the intelligent
people of the Comity now have an oppor
tunity of reading a journal published in
their midst?which advocate* their own
polities. Well at first-blush, it doe? seem
5 in per ri nunt that any one should venture
to disseminate sound, honest, Democrat
ic View?, among the reading portion of a
?community on winch there has been for
so long a time, tt reign of mongrel and
(Unintelligible demagogism, thro* the
meoulia.r journal of this place under its
imau.y .many editors. I believe however
the "Times," is in earnest. And despite
the "sneers ami flings," of the "Kopub
.lican," the people heartily greet the
"Times," and .wish it god sped and all
success in rebuking, as it will do, every
thing dishonest and disgraceful in this
nnost outrageously and shamefully dis
honest Radical ring.
Rut in this issue of the "Republican,"
th" I'Mitors undertake in a charmingly
ip.itionizing style to advise "The Times"
on, and criticize its propriety, as well as
?its p ilities. Rocatuc the "Tiinas" from
.certain lights around, undertakes to speak
?of.one.George \Y. Sturgeon, (Who is now
incarcerated on a charge of grand lar
ceny . u> though convinced of his guilt)
Tim "Republican," cry's out. in alarm
"you ought not to do that; even if he be
.-guilty, private character is too sacred to
Ib.? trilled away in that style, you should
Hutvo said be is accused of stealing, not
(bat he has stolen." May d)e so ; but my
?experience anil notiou is tliat if a Radi
cal ever forgets his cunning so far as to
be caught with somebody clscs money in
ibis pocket, it is safe enough to say he
.stole it. 1 Iowo/vor,"The Times," accor
ding to the eii(|tictto of the "Republi
can," may ho wrong in boldly asserting
il.sbidiuf. Ruthereit in. The truth is,
ii wn.s nut because the ?unfortunate Geo.
"W-. Sturgeon whaimu, peril led oue particle
more by bavin;; an insinuation of his
jiiiilt ?publishnil beforehand.
It was not | ha*t Micro was any Htich
delicate regard-lo what was or what was
not "creditableto the editorial profession'*
?on the part of Ihe "Republican." The
true reason crops-out in the last para
graph, it is because the "Republican,"
found here another opportunity of rais
ing that iuferntd 'howl with which the
arrest of any thief in the ring is invaria
bly accompanied?"political princi
ples"!! ''political persecutions"!! "There
is more than reason to believe," says
this precious paper "that Mr. Stur
geon has been dealt with in this
ungenerous ?uninorciful manner Ivy this
newspaper, simply because be is a
Republican." That is what's the mat
ter. Nevor mind what the evidence
may have;been against him?never mind
what the appearances. It does not af
fect it at.all, that he was committed to
jail on the oath of a Republican Treas
urer and by ;a Hepublican Magistrate.
That he waived.all preliminary examina
tion, and so was sent to prison for steal
ing County money. The bare assort ion
on the part of "The Time?}," that he did
steal the money, is made, says "The Re
publican," because, and simply because
Sturgeon is a Republican. And so, no
doubt, when he stands arraigned in the
dock, in the face of all the testimony
which rnay Tic added, the same howl will
he raised, and it wikl?be'4)oldly proclaim
ed, "there is nothing in it; nothing hut
"political persecution," poor .oppressed
martyrJ . .
Does it ever occur to your readers,
that thereaiever was a eharge made against
a Republican that has any foundation,
that every insinuation of guilt is but the
suggestion of "political persecution?'
Taken as a whole there never was prob
ably in tho history of the world a people
more maligned, slandered, oppressed and
unjustly suspected and dealt with than
these same Republicans in ?South Caro
lina, beginning with Scott and coming
down toithe poor, oppressed, miserable vic
tim in Orangebttrg jail. Had Sturgeon
been a Democrat, it is barely possible
the kind admonition as to newspaper
propriety would not have been otfered
gratis. It is 'barely possible that the
"Republican" would even have gone far
enough to express its own decided opinion
?ot his guilt proclaimed from every hill
top long before his trial, and with much
fewer lights than "The Times" had,
when it announced its individual opinion
of the guilt of Sturgeon Republican.
The fact is this Radical ring deserves
credit, tiny stick togcthcrjust as close as
all thieves do. They are honest in this
alone, that they hold on faithfully to each
other. \Vhen one is caught the rest are
in a flurry, because each one knows his
time may come, and will come too, unless
he keeps his brethren lip, and beyond be
trayal. The whole principle of the Rad
ical ring in their rascality, is mutual pro
tection. For this they tue banded to
gether. "A fellow feeling makes us won
drous kind." The charge against one is
felt by all?when one is caught all are
nervous, and the cry of "political perse
cution," is raised at once. Tins was the
principle which stopped Scott's impeach
ment'(true money was brought to help).
7his was the principle which sj>oke out
in open court by the lips of the officer of
the State, when he denounced as frivo-*
I Otis, based 01 insufficient testimony, and
"Jjjorn of political persecution entirely,"
eight inflict incuts drawn litt dor his own
supervision and for which he alone was
responsible. This was the principle,
which (after days of careful examination <j
of testimony, alter announcing but a few.
hours before trial his determination to
put an end to the robbery in the County i
us shown by the testimony,') induced the
officer of the law to move to "hoi pros,"
every indictment because ot tin; convic
tion forced on him suddenly that each
was but the creature of "political perse
cution."
It is about time thin miserable cry was
ended?we are all tired of it. I believe
"The Times," would have made the same
assertion had Sturgeon been of "ye fierce'
Dcmocracie."
I myself believe some Radicals will
steal, and if I believe it and say it, it
does not follow that I say it because they
.are Radicals; that I may believe it for
that reason Is entirely another matter.
But seriously this indignation on the
\n\rt of the "Republican," is something
new in the State. Indignant because a
Radical is called in plain English a
tlrief! I never heard before that they
ever denied stealing. They acknowledge
it openly. I never heard of one. taking
offence at any eharge with theft?why
should then the "Republican," be sud
denly so sensitive? What a neat and
charming little bit of irony was that of
Tim Hurley ! At a dinner party com
posed of Radicals not long since, just as
the guests were being (seated, Tim gave
three loud raps on the table?this of
course produced silence and all oyes wen;
turned to Tim, who gravely remarked
"gentlemen I simply beg to call your at
tention to the fact that the spoons and
forks in this establishment are counted."
No one took offence and the meal passed
ofTquietly. 1 believe Sturgeon took no
offence at the opinion of "The Times,"
why elvould the Republican ?
It is a matter of course to aceuso a
Radical of theft and the Radical under
stands it and always has and always
should according to principle take the
charge in tbc same as of course,
The "Kcpilbliean," is simply nervous.
Let us .take no further notice of it or of
ats admonitions.

To Our Fatmor?.
Feeling thnt the prosperity of ?ur .county
?depends uj)on tluit of the funning com
munity, we propose to devote more time,
and more space in our paper, ?v the in
terests of our agricultural frae/iitfs, rthun is
.usual iu the county pipers.
We invite the aid of farmers in.carry
ng out our plans, which are t,} make the
agricultural columns of the Time*, .a me- j
dium through which they can ask for ami
receive information from each other.
"We earnestly ask the assistance of the
members of the County Agricultural So
oiot.y (the only body in our midst organ |
ized in the interests of the farmer); con
fident that we can be of service to them,
if they will allow us.
JBy this we mean, that we 'held our
selves ready, in this department of the
paper, to represent the wants of tube farnt-j
era of our county as they are presented
to us, and to do all in our power to pro
mote their welfare.
To carry out the above, we need the
farmer's help. Send us orighml articles
for publication, on matters touching the
interests of agriculturists?whether in
the form of queries, or in ans.ner to one
propounded by another, it matters not !
Only be sure to write, and thereby aid'
your society, yourselves, ami lastly, this
paper which aspires to be your organ.
Plantino Tiiej?.?In relation to the
["planting of trees, especially fruit trees. I
have a suggestion to make. Let the
holes he dug in the fall or winter, so that
both the holes and thovcarth thrown out
of them shall bo exposed to the frosts and
snows of winter. In this way the ground
will be pulverized, aerated and prepared
for the young roots, better than any me
chanical skill can prepare it,and a vigoi
ous growth secured for the. tb-.st year,
which is the most trying year of All.
Fastening Houses in the Stale.?i
In o?'.r experience we have lound that to,
keej) a horse from backing out to the
length of his halt or, the (best way is to
furnish him a somewhat raised platform,
plank or like, for his hind feet to stand
on when he steps to an easy position in
regard to his manger. \Ve have noticed
a strong inclination in the horse, while
standing, to have his hind feet above a
level with his front ones, umd there he
will rot contented; unlessithis issttpplied,
he is sicking it while not wrang.
Saus.voe.?This i* a receipt flint has'
descended in our family, and 1 never ate
sausage that was fatetjter. Those who do
not like pepper, might diminish the
quantity: For Jit) lbs. of meat, well cut,
add 32 oz. tine salt, t> oz. pulverized sag.? ,
4 oz. black pepper, 2 tablcspoonfuls of
mustard, and summer savory to the taste
The mustard provenhvihe seasoning from
rising in the stomach, so that savory can
be used with safety.
Charted Lips and Hands.?A cor
respondent of the New York Farmers'
Club recommends the following as an
ointment for chppaed hands and lips.:
Threodrams camphor gum, three drams
white beeswax; three drams spermaceti,
two ounces ??live oil. Melt slowly upon
the stove. It will-form a white ointment
when cool.
To Clean a C?RPKT.? If brooms are
wet in boiling suds once a week they wiP
become very tough, will not cut the carpet,
last much longer, and always sweep like a
new broom. A .very dusty carpet may
be cleaned by setting a pail of cold water
out by the door, wet the broom in it,
knock it to get out all the drops, sweep a
yard or so, thou wash the broom again
as before and sweep again, being careful
to shake all the drops oil' tho.broom, and
not sweep far .at .a time. If done with
care,it will clean a carpet very nicely,
and you will be surprised-at fho quantity
of dirt in the water. The water may
need to he changed once or twice, if the
carpet is very 'dusty.
Ouitn: roh Blind Stagger*.?Turn
the upper lip up and .cut the chord -be
tween 1he lip) and teeth and it will give
instant relief.
Tratth is as impossible to be soiled by
any outward iwhch as flic sunbeam.
