THE rOLITICA L FUTURE Of our State seems to bo rather brighter to day than it has been since the war; and, in this connection, it is particularly pleas ing to anticipate the downfall of carpet haggism with all the poisoning falsehoods, with which it has imbued our politics. The last. boom of the cannon had scarcely died away before they invaded our prostrate State like tho cursed grass hoppers of old, in Egypt. Almost every planter who had refugced in the upper country, on his return to his property iu the lower portion of the State, found one or more of the creatures located there; and, in most instances, it was very diffi cult to get rid of them at all. In no case did they leave, before thoroughly setting tho negroes at enmity to their former roasters. Upon being forced to leave, they generally took up their abode iu the nearest village, where they have been living ever since by private intrigue and public robbciy. The best of them is but a low order of animals, from tho fellow who pampers to your laborer, and steals rice and cotton by moonlight for liquor, to Nilos G. Par ker and Robert K. Scott; most notable are they as being political pests, and founders of Radicalism, and scalawngcry. Our Duty. Onang'ebtjrg, S. C. Mar. 30,1874. Editor Orangtburg Times: # The dawn of another political cam paign is breaking upon us, the result of which will either work to the benefit ofour people, and rid them of the corruptions of the day, or sink the old ship of State deeper into that abyss of infamy and shame which already covers her bleeding body. It is true that for the past five or six years wc have been in a position which rendered us powerless to help ourselves. All we could do was to summon all the patience and forbearance wc could com mand, and bear up under the evils that ground us down,?yield a strict obedience, no matter how unwillingly, to the behest of the powers that rule but to disecrnto to tho most ignoble ends positions of trust and honor. Our money has been exacted from us with undeviating promptitude by the tax-gather; the lnst penny of the widow and the orphan, the blood earn ings of povcrtj and hunger, have been taken and squandered with as little re morse of conscience, by unscrupulous office holders, as one would feel for the taking of the life of a mad dog. Numbers of parties in my neighborhood, have bnd to sell their last cow, and "yard shoato," iu order to raise money to contribute to the support of a government which renders them nothing in return for their obedi ence to its laws but oppression and yearly demands for more money! Quant aud fqualid forms, of penury and want now linger around the threshold where,there was. once an abundance of this world's goods, and iVuscry makes cheerless and comfortless the hearthstone lately a joyous scene of earthly happiness. The question is: Who is responsible for these mighty changes? Who to blame for making sorrow ami shame handmaids of more than one cabin ofour country; famine and poverty the laboring mnn's guests at tablo, and dispair his bedfellow? I answer the robber-band of Moses, H?ge, Cnrdozo, and their companions in plunder! The helpless and innocent babe of the workingman frequently has to suffer for want of attention and proper nurishmenl, because the cow is sold for taxes which supplied (be milk Lhat fed it, while the more fortunate offspring of the thieves of Columbia, the cnormitj of whoso sins even seem? to infest the very atmosphere of that place with a moral virus, fares sumptuously every day, numbering in their paraphernalia "wet nurses," warm clothes, spring rocking cribs, and every (hingelse conducive to the speedy growth of infancy. But as I said above, the beginning of another political campaign is upou in, and au opportunity is again afforded to the voter? of tho State, whichdf wisely taken hold of, will end iu bringing about a better era of feeling between all classes, and of a more general prosperity. It is certainly time that wo should do some thing to alleviate the deplorable condition of our country,?a condition, I admit, brought upon us in part by the impru dent suilenness of the whites iu refusing to^receede from their position of hostility to a\ government which proclaimed itself mnBtey 0f tho situation by tho stern arbi trainmen t of war, and their refusal to take office vat the hands of colored voters. But the everk^s oftho last six years ought to be sufficient-,to couvince the most big oted of impractical politicians of tho un soundness of the V<ipws which made them, hold aloof from ta\kiug part iu tho management of their, Stove, und of tho foliy and down-right imbecility of thcr course. The colored people uro not to blame for the crimes whicnL mado thq , government of South CarolinaV disgrace to civilization. When the rightV1* voting and holding office | was first giv?n theiu, they sought their old masters ii? "P^hy cases.askcd them for advice,and *"cr^ re fused. Unskilled in politics, it ^vflrper fectiy natural that they should apply to the carpet-uapc adventurer, ever ready to give counsel, x nd be governed by him. They?theco ored people?were ignorant and have been fooled That's a ix. And the old leaders of the State must share their part of the responsibility along with the carpet bagger for this error on the part of pur colored fellow citizens. The platform put forth by the last State Convention, written by the plausable T. J. Mackey, was replete with p'edges which, had they been kept, we should have had no cause for complaint. But how have the officers elected upon said platform kept their promises ? How have they kept their faith ? Only in one single instance, and that was in the repeal of the odious license law. Therefore we should not allow ourfielves to be fooled again. No confidence can be put in the words of the men who rule South Caro lina. They are living, moving, breath ing degraded mafses of animated dust, cultivating ?nly that part of human na ture which. prompts one to yield himself up to rapine and the meaner passions of lifel Who is Moses? Ho went 'into office poor; he is now rich! There are some crimes made venial by tho occasion, and temptations which nature cannot .'orbenr, but Moses has not scrupled to commit any crime, or resisted one temptation in' the catalogue of sin. He will leave his offico in next November rich; but. with a stain upon his heart and stigud upon his name?a conkerworm which all the splen dor of his royal mausion and ill-gotten wealth cannot lull or blot from the minds of the people. ? Who is Cardozo? Oue tini; I believe, a meek and lowly follower of Christ; one time an bumble school master; one time Secretary of State, and now Treasurer of South Carolina! He doesn't preach any more, and spells pray with an t. Through all the above gradations, from minister to Treasurer, he increased both in wealth and physique; is dubbed the turkey-fed office holder, with the air a Jupitor nnd the dignity of a Mackbeth. Like Moses, he forgets at times the eighth Command ment. Who is H?ge? one time a Democrat; one time associate Justice of the Supreme Court; one time Congressman; one time a defeated office seeker, and now Conp troler General! He succeeded Ncagle. and expects to have a bridge before his term of offico expires; was poor not long ago, but now sports fine horses, carriages, diomonds, lives in a large mansion, nnd has his coat sleaves cut short in order to show his white cuffs held together by buttons of enormous size. Ho leaves them home when he goes in the country to speak. Theso facts ought to be enough to arouse the people to action. ].of. all good men join hands together, and work for the common good of our common country. Moses and his ring are at wnrk now lay ing schemes, and if honest men of all parties arc caught napping the theives will ngain triumph. Let them rememher that all is to be feared where o much is to be gained! Keep an eye, then Mr. Editor, on Moses, Cardozo and H?ge. "Watch them 1 as you would watch the wild ' boar when He make* against you in the hunter's gap? Like him they must lie speared. * RBPURI !c:AN.
