TUE ORAMGEBUM TIMES. Orangeburg, S. C, July 10, 1872. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE COUNTY. .1. S. 1 IEVWARD, Editor. ITei^qefoi'tli, nil Inegal Ad a'(?rtist>niv.'iith, oi" CoiiTLty Interest*, wlietliei' iiotioes oi' pfiievs, will bo publish ed loi* tlie benefit oi' our readers wliotlior tlioy are pjucl lot* oi* not . Tim Charleston Daily News, our very ubly edited eonteinpornry publishes in its last Saturday issue a eonversation held by Judge Orr and the special correspond ent of the Xews. /That paper speaks une quivocally of Judge Orr a*$ the ablest man in the radical ranks. If this bo so then Republican Reform has a belter chance than Carpenter Reform and there is another breathing space to be hen; reaped for radicalism. Which wo sin cerely hope may not be tho case, but that Judge Orr may find himself mis taken, as any other man will be who thinks that any one can preach Grant isin ami reform for honesty together, with truth of intent. Judge Orr may have brains but his political honesty may well be doubted. He says he holds his office only from compulsion through his family's necessities. May not the same reason compel him equally successfully to accept another oflice cither here or elsewhere? We think so, and no doubt many others w ill agree with us. Judge Orr pitches roundly into the state radicals and tells us that they near ly were the cause of ruin to the whole national republican party ; would have been such were it not for similar frauds in the democratic parly of New York. Is the preservation of radicalism then based upon the villainy of its opponents ? Our very able Judgcsays that any reform in State affairs must be accomplished by the Radical party. If there is any desire on the part of any known party of the Re publican party to be particularly honest, we have not yet heard of him. The experi ment of Republican reform was tried two years ago by Judge Carpenter, when Scott had already inaugurated his system of rad ical plundering and it was forthe time be nign failure. We do not sec why theoxper imerit should be any more successful un der the auspices of Judge Orr or whom soever he may propose to manipulate for. The Judge says that the colored masses are still disposed to favor honesty in the administration because they have; had as laborers to bear the burden of taxation and political profligacy. Now on this point there is no reason why the Judge should not know as well as any one else what we all know to be the case; viz, than no other class of voters feel less the burden of tax ation and other stale burdens than do these colored laborers of South Carolina in the mass. That tin: exorbitant taxa tion has rendered the renting of his land by the planter compulsory whenever he. could, and be has bad to take anything he can get, and in by far the majority of cases be docs not get the value of his tax es. The necessities of his case have been such that he has been glad to get a few davs labor ill bis field as rental for more land than the negro and his family can plant, and found it very bard to get this promise, small as it is, regularly fulfilled. 1'his is the irresponsible condition into which labor has been brought through the slate, through the agency of republi canism ami its loyal leagues. Being an entirely agricultural people, and bereft of capital, we have been ground between the nether and upper millstones of government hostility and newly enfran chised slaves: each by the other stimula ted to do their damnedest to com pie to our ruin. The)* care not to reform so long as upheld by national bayonets. Whatdocs our labor want more than they have, got; the white man at the plow working to pay taxes which come to him through the leagues when be votes for Scott and kindred rogues. This has been their uniform political drill and has, it a ten doiicy to bett;r Iiis honesty? Do they not feed one another by it? The Judge says that the colored voters of our state want honest republican lead ers. Well we have no doubt that such may he found hut our experience tends to the conviction that even when found the negroes will not he allowed to vote for thorn. And this Judge Orr docs know when ho recognises that they ? will leave the devoted abolitionist Greoley for the pro slavery- imin, Grant, because the white southern men endorse him and pro pose to vote for him as opposed to rasci 1 ity anywhere. He even declares that they will vote for republicans dishonest rather than Democrats honest. Judge. Orr says that the colored voters of the State are ready to be convinced and influenced by those of our natives who arc willing to embrace republican ism I.E. Grant-ism or Rneidalisni. Now if negroes arc to he fooled by any such trickery as this, they must have lost some brains in being made, colored people. Judge Orr thus holding up the allure ments of treachery and perjury to his former fellowciti/.cns and companions in social lifo is a fit type of this hell born re publican parly, bred in sectionalism gain ing power by accident, matured amid war blood, and sustained by the barest bribery and corruption and usurpation. If this is what Judge Orr as the exponent of Radicalism expects his former associates to embrace as the primary step to hones ty .and the ncgros confidence wo sincere ly hope tor him no success whatever. Ami this then is the result of his ability, to pimp for political perjury among his former brcthcrn, our domestic exponent of Grant-ism?the imposcr of a new test oath* for State qualification on his former constituents, ; viz* thorough adoption of Grant., theft, bribery, usurpation, invasion of the State; and all, as a step to honesty and fair representation and management of our own affairs. Now we do not mean to suy that the Judge is a fool; and that he expects any of his former associates who are not idiots to swallow Grant or any other test oath, t<; enter a black bird chase after colored votes, we do not be lieve. If the honest negroes want reform let them make honest nominations and they will be unanimously supported by the whites whether democratic or not. If not, then wo will look for-Judge Orr's b?>lt for honesty. Think of it'."Judge Orr's bolt for honesty," and even under a Grant flag, if his nominations are hon est and we do nut subscribe to Grnntism, but are allowed tin; nevcr-to-be-for- j gotten privilege of our forefathers, that of voting with Judge Orr, and on the solo ground of promoting reform and the welfare of our State we will do it ; to which task we can invite any honest man, no matter ofwhat color, nation or polities. Rut observe?! the Judge judi diciously doubts whether he will ever make his bolt for honesty. .. ? ? ? y ?? ? It is with great regret that we notice in in our Charleston exchanges the an nouncement of the death of Henry Sea brook, air Scab rook was a young man of culture, intelligence and energy?one of the young men of the old regime whom we could illy spare.

The Convention met promptly ut 12 M., und was called to order by A igust Bclmout) of New York, Chairman of the National Executive Committee. Thos. Jefferson l?mdall, of Virginia, was appointed temporary chairman of the Convention, and took his scat amid much cheering, after a short and felici tous address. No nominations have yet been made, nor will there be till to-morrow, though all indications point with unerring cer tainty to Grcclcy and Brown as the names of the nominees. There is great enthusiasm on all sides for them, which seems to be continually on the increase. The effort to organize an opposition^ convention for a straight out Democratic nomination, has again proved an utter and ridiculous failure; hardly an hun dred persons being present, and those at tracted more by curiosity, than anything else. communicated.

Enrrons :?I have, been for aunto tiinr; thinking of contributing-i'to your columns but. never would have thought of it'were it not to expose the rogues of our community. Last chrism as one Joseph Bush or brush, set about building a school-house for colored public school in this school district, lie contriv ed to get the community to assist, some sending their tennis and wagons to haul up the material: others came and helped with their own hands, with the understanding that the bouse was m t to be paid for by the county. After it was completed duddy Joe made out an order on the county for fifty dollars to pay for building tho house, signed his with the mimes oi* the other trustees to this order and received the fifty dollars. 1 don't say that daddy Joe should work for tho county for nothing, but I don't see why he should receive pay for the labor of others. The. people were willing to give it to the county but not to daddy Joe who i- one ol'Jthc trustees of this school district. 1 beard more than one, whose judgment cannot be questioned, say the is not worth more, than fifteen dollars; but daddy Joe gets fifty and excuses himself by saying "I might, as well git it as for dem udder fellers to tack it," G.

How often, recently, have we been afllictcd as a people, in the decease of citizens, who have been prom incut in our local history for ability, intelligence, probity and worth. Truly, Or angchurg lias been, in a brief season, bereft of some of her most valued sons! Among the number of those, who have lately succumbed to the ruthless hand of Death, we Khali always remember with feelings of special esteem and regard, our late fellow-citizen, Col. David J. Rumfk, who departed this life on the 27 th day of April, 1S72, in the sixty-second year of his age. Although to him was not permitted the fulfillment of "throe ecorc years and ten," allotted in Holy Writ, as the average duration of human life; yet, in a shorter period, he accomplished a full quota of duty?as n citizen, in his interest in public n Hairs, and his labors for the common weal; as a neighbor, in his good will and urbanity to all; and as a bus bind and falber, in his tender affection and provident care of those united to him by the fondest of human tics, and now mourning bis loss. Col. Ritmfk was eminently lilted, by social jipusi'ion and education, for tho service of his fellow-citizens in the arena of public life. In appreciation of such qualification-, after serving in various honorary positions, lie was called by the Voice of the people of (hange Parish to a scat in the Lvginlalurc, which he tilled with dis tinction to himself, and to the satisfaction of bis constituents, at a time when to be a member of the Genend Assembly ofSouth Carolina was Ln ?.ecd an honor. Daring the recent war, in the position of Colonel of the loth Itcgiinout or the fcjtqttc.Reserve*, he evinced Id*patriotic impulse to share in (bat nob'.e, but fruitless struggle; and be was in the field among the heroic bands who fought so well, though in vain, against overwhel ming odds of resources anil numbers, for the Pal metto and tin- Southern Cross. it i- meet (bat wo should pause in the busy battle of life, and stray aside to tin- retired .-put, where the bouse of worship, in which he was accustomed to meet bis friends and neigh Uirs on the Sabbath, raises its unpretending proportions among the nines, und where, near by, the congregation of the silent tire assem bled in their last earthly resting place; and that \\e should there pay the tribute of-grief to our departed friend, and carry with us, from the sa. i red ground where bis ashes repose, that rever rencc for bis many noble qualities, w iich makes tlic memory of a good man a lesson of virtue to those be leaves behind him.
