IB ORANGEB?RG TIMES ORANGEBURG, S. C, JUNE 18,1874. LARGEST.CIRCULATION IN THE COUNTY. BgU W* art in no troy responsible for the views 9t epinions of our Correspondents. Our friends wishing to have advertisements inserted in the TIMES, must hand them in by ftoeoday morning, 10 o'clock. Henceforth.. nil legal Advertisements ?if County Interest, whether NoticcH or others, ?trill be published for the benefit of our leaders ?whethor they are paid for or not. Chamberlain is said to be the leading candidate for Governor: A Northern ex change thinks Mores is bad enough, but cayo Chamberlain will be worse. Neaole has had a general free fight in Columbia with wife, friends and garri son of post. Like d ture man be beat his wife, and like a ture friend spared his friends, until an officer of the garrison threatened to chastise him for playing With a nui?kct. Ncagle is only a speci men ruler. Did he not once threaten to shoot the young Governor ? The "Day Book" is not dainty in its oaracticuro of the Republican party; yet its unsightly frontispiece of the 13th, instant may not bo over drawn. The carcase of a dead horse represents the party, a wagon packed with "plunder, custom house frauds,back pay,Presidential presents, bribes, credit mobilier &c," and summed up as "garbage" is in charge of General Grant, with his bull pup; and Beast Butler is afoot worn out with lush ing the old beast, and disconsolate at failure. A score of favorites arc on the ?camper frem the defunct and rotten miss. It is a sad sight that both State and federal affiairs arc in such hands, as cause the atmosphere of reflection to be foul with shame. ORGANIZE THE TAXPAYERS UMON. We have been asked; what this Union will effect? If carried out as proposed it will effect a systematic and powerful moral combination against the fraud and rnsCTility existing tn-puOTvtfJHaCes. IT. Will" be able pecuniarily, and on account of its extended ramifications to bring defaulters to trial, employ the best of counsel to aid the prosecution, and adduce proof of the' guilt of the accused. It will be setting up sentinels on every hill top over the Hessians, and will effect in every way \ what in our present unorganized condi tion is impossible. The minipulafors of our degradation and ruin arc all organ ized, shall we remain inactive. WHO WOULDN'TLO\'E IHM. The "New York Times" Grants organ, says of our "Young ' Governor:" 1 The evidenco is overwhelming that he is about *?S fit to be Governor of a State, as any Pukoi.a k who prowls about the street of fff^S. York at midnight." It is wrong for j.tlae j"Times" to write this as Moses is said tof jje a candidate for re-election. "He htljp helped himself to public funds and hfe turned over the key of tho treasury , A anybody clso (who scared him) who ? ?ippcned to be short of money.". For* Siinnie "Times" remember he is our Gov-1 crnor; His private character is so simply detestable that we had to strike out pas sages (refering to it) offensive to decency." Olfr saintly Governor; These extracts arc from n paper whose reporter in Columbia saw things as they were, and us they long have been. The Executive Committee of the "Tax payers' Convention" calls a meeting in Charleston, for tho special purpose of organizing taxpayers uuions. The sooner the better. an important meeting. The members of the Executive Com mittee of Taxpayers'Convention of South Carolina are hereby requested tc meet at the Rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, in Charleston, on Thursday,the 18th day of June instant, at 12 o'clock meridian* The main subject of consideration will be prompt and efficient organization of Tax'Uuions throughout tUisJatato. Those ineTnfce/sSflvo caifhot attend are invited to fleiiti opinions*and proxies td the chairman or to otrrer in embers of cOwi*?iitte^. v> Jamp.s ( 'iiksnit, V. Chairman KxocutivoCoininitleo. Our follow townsman Mr. G. A. Neuffer! who is posted gives us the following: Immigration to tho United States from foreign countries, from 1776 to 1873, a period of ninety-seven years, is 9,443,865. Fully three-fourths of this numocr came from tho United Kingdom of Euglaud, British America and Germany. Tho largest Immigration was in the last three years averaging 400,000 per annum. The average from 1820 to 1830, was only 15,000 per annum, from 1850 to 1870, 200,000 per annum. Taken from opecial report on Immigration page 11, by Ed ward Youug, G. W. D., Chief of tho Bureau of Statistics, Washington D. C. The total of Immigration has been 9,043,865, in ninety-seven years. [communicated.] Mb. Editor:?In your issue of the 11th ultimo you state that the petition of the citizens of the town, asking Council to remove iiie hogs from the streets, was laid on the table. Such was not the case for the petition ?ras laid over for action at the next regular meeting of council, at which meeting Council will endeavor to provide for the removal of tho so-call cd nuisance. The citizens probably are not aware that there are some difficulties in remov ing the hogs from the corporate limits Justice. We are happy to be informed that the petition has been before Council, and for the first time wo entertain a hope that the hogs will be kept at home. Our remarks in the last paper, had no refer euce to the action of Couucil, as we were under the impression, that the petition (as we saw it in the Post Office with a limited number of names, some times out of sight, und now and then on the floor,) had been removed entirely as a lost question and that Council had not seen it. And we applied the remark "laid on the table" intending to convey the idea of the indifference of tho public. Our town Council has the support of tliG "Times" so far in all they have done and wc nro waiting to hear tho virdict. Justice has our tbauks for his correction. ? ? ? ? -m [communicated.] Mr. Editor:?Thinking that a word from the "Mountain city" might bo of some interest to your renters, I have concluded to ask space in_y.our_columns roi-rt lew llr\c3j lro^ several wecks^ast it was very dry, and Ut^ dust atoso' to such an extent as to render it qvitc dis agreeable.

There are about^fiflfp students in the Collegeate and near one hundred aijd thirty in tbe Preparatory department of the University. Greenville is quite a city. The first issue of the "Greenville Daily News" came out a few Saturdays ago. "The news boys in every direction are crying 'Daily News', like each one's life depended upon selling that b?ndle of papers". The completion of the Air Line R. R. has added considerable to its trade. Greenville has not felt so severely the iron hand of Radical misrule as our county. The county Treasurer however, was found a deftfnltcr in several thou sand dollars'. Geo WaGardnicr. A negro in Kranklin county Georgia, while returning home from plowuig fell from the animal, his loot catching in the trace chain. . With characteristic ani? mostly, the mule started on a run and bunged tho file completely out of the poor fellow. .South Carolina! has hitherto claimed the lead for defaulting tax collectors, but Georgia begins to loom up-unplonsantly. Docatur and Houston have had their steal, and now the collector of Colquitt, Samuel O. Gregory, is announced in de fault for 81)17 State lax 1873; Lancaster County Commissioners will grunt no J^pnscs q> sell liquor in any part of the 'vorm.'y^i-n Ihc next twelve months. * V_ A' The ?'Situation^ From the New York DoVllook. If Massachusetts, or Nc4- York, or Congress, or any power undunhenven, Can enter the State of Virginia und chango tho local status of one man, woinun,child or negro there, whatevor Wtemuy call Virginia, a province, satrapy^ or depart ment, it is a lio and imposition on com mon sense to call it u State,i<br a State, to exist at all, must have absyluto charge of tho relations and status of the popula tion within its borders. Moreover, if this thing is done, if any outside" power has entered Virginia and changccPthe legal relations of its people from supremacy to equality with negroes, it baj^ an equal right and equal powor not only to enact the so-called Civil Rights bill, but to ab solutely reverse the condition of 1776 1805, and forco the people int^ftlio status of tho negro during that long and glori ous period. These propositions are abso lutely and unavoidably true; .therefore, if the so-called amendments uro assented to, the Fedoral Union, tho^merican system, the United States, that grand fabric of freedom won by thenlood and heroism of the men of 1776, igjCvjvreck, a shapeless ruin, and the man casing him self a Demoornt who "accepts the situa tion', is a traitor to Americanl^bcrty or he is a fool unfit for tho duties of citizen ship. Meanwhile, it a fact, a f|rribio if not fatal fact, that an outside power, by military violence, has forced the negro element out of its normal condition, and it is now running loose in Virgjna, &c. How shall the American Democracy deal with this fact? They must remove that military force?all external ferce?and leave the people of Virginia, to adjust their legal and social rehitions*%ith the negroes as God and nature ami the ne cessities of human -society ordain, for to interfere, to restore the normaf order, would be as wrong in principle, though as bcncficicnt in practice as the interfer ence of Lincoln, Grant & Co. is ariti-sociul and atrocious. And "to this coifrplexion it must arrive at last," for a tih\c must come when tho Northern producing classes, unable to bear the taxation, to continue this devil's dance after an im aginary freedom for negroes, the "North ern collnpsc will restore freedom to the Southern people, and leave them to adjust their rolations to the surbordinatc race as best they may, and the necessities of social order reign.
