Under, the advico of Messrs. Popo & Haskell has gone into voluntary bank ruptcy. Thie is done to save tholmnk from falling into the hands of a "radical ring" a calamity which would eventuate in a complete gutting. The depositors of 'the bank are warned against selling their claims. Money is getting scarce, ?with the "ring" and not satisfied with preying on the public, they have com menced on private institutions. This is as outrageous a scheme as ever was con ceived. Boss Tweed and Oakey Hall have their equals in South Carolina. No "property in the State is safe if the party set an eye on it, but the ring have over reached their aim this time. SOUTHERN WOMEN. The graceful tribute to "Southern wo men" from the pen of a northern soldier. Col. A. B. Calhoun, is printed in another column. Doubtless the author fought for the yiewsof his native laud, gallantly and well, and cominr^nnjft^^^g are, and not as swarms of his countrymen ?would have them. The South with its men and women is glad to welcome all such as Col. A. R. Calhoun, and no rude word, or intended slight will ever grate upon his ear, or sting the tender soul of his girl wife. But to the "praise God bare bencs" and Godless adventurous theiving carpet-baggers, the South is as she ever must be gushing over with inexpressible contempt. The article quoted is full of tender sentiment, aud glides from a poetic pen. THE PEABODY EDUCATION FUND. The report of the trustees of this noblo bequest, of July 16 1873 is before us. A cursory sketch of its work, and the in terest derived by South Carolina rela tively with that of other States will be of interest to our renders. The world renowned philanthropist George Pcabody, in 18?9 first communi cated his intentions to bis friend Bishop Mcllvaine, of donating 8750,000 for the improvement of the dwellings of the poor of London. At the closo of 1872, this fund so directed represented the sum of $1, 140, 000, upon the interest of which $,407 persons wero mndo comfortable. Since the death of Mr. Peabody $700, 000 additional for the same object has been invested. Previous to his decease *h\B sympathy was excited upon the pub lic school system of the land, and he set apart several millions to be. invested par ticularly to advance and assist these schools. An agent was selected from each State to forward the claims of hisgStato, and this office fell to the care of Ex-Gov. ,Wtn Aiken for our State. We give a list of tbo donations made as, the report of trustees, and leave tho c to divine why South Carolina J^ould be left "in the cold:" Virginia 51) schools received ?.'12,800. No Carolina 33 " " 12,?f>0, % " " G teachers' institutes 300, Georgia "^12 schools received 10,200, Florida 14 " " * 8,800, Alabama 5 " V 7,000, Mississippi 7 " " 4,450, Louisiana 18 schools &c. 7.890i Arkansas 7 " 9,500, Tennessee 66 " 25,G00, W.Virginia 28. " &o. 15,170, South Carolina 3 donations of 1,500. The applicant for the State of South Carolina, in alluding to the school ap preprint ion says: "The legislature at its last session ap propriated over $300,000 for educa tional purposes. Not one dollar of this amount has been received from the Treas ury, and the resnlt has been that nearly all the public schools in the State have j been closed * * * * with no hope until the city (Charleston) tax will have been collected for 1873." On the strength of! this there was received $1000 in Charles ton. $200 was sent to Spartanburg, and $300 to the Pino Ridge academy. Mr. Jas. S. Hey ward of Orangeburg made application to both the general agent Mr. Scars, and the Hon. Wm. Aiken, with the view of establishing an academy upon an enlarged scale. The reply re ceived by him excluded any cutcrpriso other than that upon the public school basis, which would subject the school receiving assistance to the surveillance- of the Commissioners of public schools, and put it under the contingency of State pay. So undesirable a prospect, that the appli cant declined to entertain the idea any further. So far as this noble bequest is concerned our State by reason of its cor rupt school system is shut out from its benefits and original design. -'REFORM OR REVOLUTION." The paper from which the following is clipped, is at the head and front of the so-called Republicanism. Justice to a too much oppressed people demands that reliof should come in someway from "the picked villains" who "in no sense are different from the men who filled the prisons and penitentiaries of the world." The New York Tribune, in a review of Mr. Pike's book,. "The Prostate State. "South Carolina Under Negro Govern "mcnt," says. "The actual condition of the State, in a political jBcjqt^,^UnTbre colors. The rule of South Carolina cannot be dignifi ed with (he name of government. It is in fact, nothing but a huge system of brigandage. The men who have it in control are the picked villians of the community. They arc the highwaymen of the State?professional legislative rob bers, who have studied all the arts of legalized theft. They are, in no sense, different from the men who fill the pris ons mid penitentiaries of the world. They arc, indeed, precisely of that class, only more daring and unscrupulous. Their sole object is to gorge the individual with public plunder. Those who imagine that such a state of things can last long take no heed to the teaching of history. When there is actual injustice in the government resistance is inevitable. The present ad ministration of South Carolina is not only corrupt and oppressive, but insulting. It denies the exorcise of the rights of white communities, because they arc white. One of two things, reform or revolution, is an inherent necessity of the case." Dr. J. H O'Gain. The following resolutions were adopted by the Agricultural Society at their late meeting : Resolved, that this Society lias re ceived with deep regret the news of the death of Dr. J. H. O'Cain, a member of this body. Resolved, That in the death of Dr. O'Cain our county has lost a valuable citizen, and this Society an active and useful member, whose plucc cnunot bo filled. Resolved, That theso Resolutions be published in the Orangeburg Times, and a blank pago of our Minute Book bo dedicated to bis memory. .A. CAED. The Citizens' Savings Bank of South Carolina has to-day gone into voluntary bankruptcy, under our advice. This ad vice has been given as the most effectual means of protecting tho interest of its depositors' and other creditors, who can thus, und thus only, havo tho manage ment and control of its assets, instead of their being placed in the hands of a re ceiver, iu whoso selection they have no voice. The officers of tho Bank will, at an early day, publish 'a statement, giving fulL information of its affairs. Wo would warn depositors and credi tors not to barter their claims to specu lators and other interested parties, as we are informed thore exists a most danger ous combination, whoso object is to ob tain controlling interest, to the destruc tion of the bank and the detriment of ital depositors. We would further advise the deposi tors and creditors to retain tlieir claims until the publication above referred to has been made, which, in our opinion, will justify the wisdom and policy of thej course adop ed in their interest, and will suggest a plan which, if heartily co-ope rated in by depositors and creditors, will save them from loss.
