The Orangeburg Academy and the Orangobug High School will open on Tuesday September 1st, and the St. Matlicws Academy on Monday Sep tember 7th. The street in front of the "Free Citizen" office and our Editors resi dence is open. We hope the Council will take it in charge. We mean the street of course. The "South Eastern Advocate" a new religious paper to be started at this place by Dr. Webster, will make ! its appearance in a few weeks. This is to be a bi-weekly.

Work, work on the now street. Tho fall trade and a bad thoroughfare on Russell street, will mnko it absolutely necessary to keep up tho other. At present it is badly cat up with holes and gullies.

Hey ward 3rd., Vice President t G* W. Brumson, Treasurer. We call attention to the notice of Miss Albergotti's school which com* mences on Tuesday September the lstr This is an old well established school] and we heartily commend it to the public patronage, Parents will notice that in ordor to compete successfully for the prizes their children should commence with the opening of the school. - I Wilt, the grand jury bear in mind for the benefit of the County, that they havo a great work before them at the. next term of Court? Rumors of dirty work are very common. X#et some of the knowing ones who want reform reduce their ambiguous hinta to direct charges, and then we will have a rev elation. Public interest is infinitely superior to private gain. Judge Carpenter stopped awhile at Ridge Spring when the negroes made their military display towards the whites. The Judge remarked that things looked very bad (or to this affect). Judge Carpenter has been here long enough to know who is res ponsible, and if we do not mistake the man, we think he could fix a sentence upon the offenders that would put a stop to such capers, if Moses would riot pardon out. Marshal Cannon put up for safe keeping a' colored man named John Grimes, who has been quite bold in the last few days at his old trade. He had visited Mr. Renneker's residence while the family were at church, and was alarmed before he succeeded in getting any plunder. Mr. Cannon kept his eye on him, and having heard' that a watch had been stolen from a party in town, he interviewed Grimes at the depot on Monday night and by per suation managed to get the watch from him, and then put him in jail. Grimes had other spoils. A coat he sold for 15 cents, and disposed also of a vest for a mere trifle. Grimes is a penitentiary bird, and is both hold and athletic. He sliould be eligible now for a very high office. . The funeral services of Miss Fannie Dibble, elder daughter of our esteemed fellow citizen Mr. P. V. Dibble, were performed on Saturday morning last at the Methodist Episcopal churoh, by the Rovs. Walker and Campbell, in the presence of a large and sympa thetic body of friends and acquaint ances. Mias Dibble while on a visit to Charleston sickened, and passed to her final rest. The body was brought up on the train of Friday night, and borne upon the strong arms of eight pall bearers. The coffin piled with loves farewell offerings, was laid in the chan cel of the church. Mr. Walker's address touched the hearts of all, as his venerable head bowed attesting his affection. A pure flower is plucked from the home garden; a vestal light is out in the sanctuary; and to the family we offer the sympathy that so great a loss demands. Patterson's Speech. This adventurer has been making a speech at Beaufort to the colored peo ple, which should condemn him and his party before the world, and should make the colcred men, who have sense I enough to see the drift of it, take him I out and hang, him to the first good swinging limb or lamp post they can Bie told them the true name of the Democrats in this State was "Ku Klux;" that the rifle clubs wero "Ku Klux;" that every man, woman and child was so, that even churches were implicated in it. * * * John J. Patterson has, therefore, the blood of the slain upon his hands, and if he in never called to an accouut for it her?, will surely have to answer to the charge bofore the Supreme Judge of heaven and earth. In any civi lized country long since would he have been tried, convicted and execu ted. ***** He has a home in Pennsylvania, and before any trouble shall again arise, in which his deluded followers shall be involved by his advice, he will bo safely back claiming the protection of the laws of that State.?Charleston Daily Sun. _ The principal agitator in the Ridge Spring affair made tracks for other parts, when he found he was wanted.
