BQK- We are in no tray responsible for the views or opinions of our Cbrrespondent$. A CCO UNT FOR YO URSEL VES. The" Taxpayers Convention passed resolutions 5and formed, on paper, a complete Immigration Bureau; but judging from the fruits, the work does not seem to have progressed much, if any, beyond tho paper upon which tho resolutions wero written. We beliovo it was made the duty of the delegates from each county to go home and in augurate the movement in their sev eral counties. In some oi the counties this duty was, in a manner, discharged; but was it done in Orangeburg? Dele gates from Orangqburg, we call upon you to answer, this question, and to give an account ? of your stewardship, in this lino! We pause for a reply I The people ycu represented arc enti tled to it. CA A )VE TR UST TJIEMt Before ovcry election the Republicans have been just as blatant about reform as they are now, and yet the result has always been from bad to worse. Judging from tho past, we have little to hope for in the future, and that fu ture is still more darkened now by the prospect of nothing bettor thau Cham berlain for our next Governor. It is boasted by his admirers that no offi cial wrong can be fastened upon him ; but however this may be, he is not clear of that suspicion which his past asso ciations have brought upon liim, and which makes him a very inconsistent candidate of the champions of reform. If the Republicans really wanted re form they would hardly select as their Btandard bearer the boon companion of Scott, N eagle and tho rest of the State house Ring. Surely if they can not find an honest Republican out sido of this company, they must bc'in a bad plight. KEEP TOGETHER. The Charleston Daily Sun is in favor ^>fjg^inga ^nven?^ ii icftpcclTvo ?r ?;uloi y to uumiuiite u State ticket in the. coming campaign. It advises that "both classes of our citizens bo represented in the nomina tions by tho best men of their own selection." General Kerahaw in his recent letter, also recommends about the same course. After referring to the change in public sentiment at the North he says : After nil,' however, our relief depends mostly upon our own people. Let them or ganize andcoiiHolidate all honest men who can mo above unworthy prejudices and party idavcry, to rescue the Stato from anarchy, ruin, and, in the end, a bloody despair. Thcro are others, on tho contrary, who strongly advocate a "do nothing policy;" who seem to think that in some mysterious way things will change for tho better, in time, without our agency. To such we would say that we do not object as much to the inac tivity as to the want of organization; which invariably leads to disintegra tion. We admit that since tho rejection by the colored peoplo in 1870 of our proposition to disregard color and party, and look only to honesty in the election of men to office, wc nro un willing to put ourselves in the humili ating position of going to them again, unless they show a disposition to abnndon their prejudices, and meet us half way; but wc cannot sco why their refusal to co-operate with us, should, in the slightest di-grec, cause us to recede from the principles which we laid down in tho reform campaign. Such a course would give just ground for suspicion ns to our sincerity. If we felt that our position was just and right why abandon it because tho colored peoplo refuse to accept it? I <ct the colored peoplo do m they please It would be dograding to follow them up Let our platform be broad enough for all men to stand upon, regnrdless'of race, color or previous condition, l^et it bo placed on record so that North ern sympathizers, if thcro arc auy,mny sec that wo are in curuest to redeem the Slate, peaceably, if wo can, and Southern agitators may be paralized in their efforts at misrepresentation. Abstract party issues should belaid aside; for they have no more to do with our present political necessities than Bisinark has to do with tho Beecher Kinulal. All wc want is an honest government, under which wc can u!l pm-jur alike, The Republican patty has utterly fitiled to'graut ua this rea sonable request. The people therefore .should meet in convention in Colum bia as soon as the so called Republican convention arljourjis, not necessarily to make new nominations; if develop ments prove this to be inadvisable, but for organized action against tho most unscrupulous ring that over luxuriated upon a poor and oppressed people. By all means let us keep together. [communicated.] Orangeburo C. II., Sept. 1, 1824. Mr. Editor:?As it is presumed that your paper reflects the sentiments of the Conservative citizens of this county, it is hoped, that during these trying times before us, you will do all in your power to combat with our ene mies in this great struggle, and open your columns to such communications as our good citizens may contribute This seems to be your duty. We now have every evidence that the Times will be an interesting and useful paper and nothing will contribute to it better than such a course If wo want suc scss, let tho people support tho Times heartily. True Reformer. [Fon tue Ora noebuho Times.] A Trip to Cherokee Spring. Cherokee SraiKO, Aug. 25,1874. My family and eelf left our home to visit this delightful summer resort a week ago. We wero worn out when we got to the village of Spartanburg,* for it was a tedious days journey. Hav ing to remain at Alston from 9 o'clock until 1 o'clock, there wns nothing to while away the hours, but look at Mr. Elkins fino crop of "ku klux" corn, the finest I ever saw. This curiosity in farming, each farmer had to go to the field and sec for himself. When at Spartanburg wo had eight long miles to travel in the night "with out a moon's light. Dreadful we thought the road, although our driver informed us that it had been worked and was in fino condition. Our hack was very full. Two of tho largost ladies of the lower country, with chil dren in their laps, occupied the back seat, a good size man with child in lap, a grown .servant girl and child of six occupied the next, or middle scat; the driver and a boy of twelve yearju^ji.i' a stout tyqJuii^drp^ .1 I mau had the front seat. Thankful to the ' Werul driver and safe foiled mules, at 10 o'clock we found oarf elves in front of tho Cherokee Spring Hotel half alive and half awake (the young ones having been lost in slumber hours ago). Our land lord met us with a hearty welcome and soon invited us in to a sumptuous supper?I enjoyed it and retired for the night. I took sev eral days to get.over the tiresome journey, but the delicious water, brac ing atmosphere, and generous and nicely gotten up fare has completely revived mo. Fruit is here in an abundance, and the finest kind of mel ons of the sweetest varieties. Captain John Bowman of your county, with lady and son are over here in fine spirits. A calico ball came off here last Tuesday night. The young ladies looked line they were dressed in hand some silks. The hall and parlor were diesscd in wreathes which looked bo cheerful. Ice cream and cake wero plentiful on the occasion. Spartan burg sent some of her handsome gents to danco with the fair daughters who came from diflereut parts of our State, who I think came hero for pleasure, for j they look too fresh and sweot to say they have bad health. This is truly a healthful and delightful resort. I recommend it to you my low country friends who have chills and fovor all summer and almost shake to pieces in September. Here U the place to cure all diseases. Board is cheap and pleas ure plentiful. Come and see for your selves. A Visitor: [Kbit the OitAXGEnuno Times.] Mr Editor :? As Secretary pro tcm oftheOrango Township Tax Union, 1 deem it not improper to call atten-. tion to the proceedings of its lost, and tho consequent importance of its next meeting. At its meeting.on the 27th nil., Mr. Hutson gave notice of his intention, in consequenco of the disabling eflect of deafness, to resign at the next regular meeting, the ofiice of Prestdont. That important ofiice therefore, as well as that of Vice President, will have to be fdlcd at the next regular meeting. There will also, at that time, ho brought before the Union, for action thereon, tho report of a special Com mittee appointed to draft rules and by-laws for the government of the Uuiou. In view therefore of the importance of tho action so soon to be taken,, it iB respectfully suggested to all in favor of the objects of the ?Jnion to forward at cnc? their applications fox; raeraner' ship, to tho Executive Com?iiittee, as it is intended to call an extra mcelhig for their admission, if the members or applicants arc sufficient to justify jt. JAMES S. HEYWARD, Secretary Pro Tern. [For The Obaoeburo Times.] On Saturday the 29th of August the citizens of Hebron Trbwnship organ ized a Tax Union -with the following officers: President??Dr. Thomas Pou, Vice. Presidont?Col.

Jokes, Secretary, ALL ABOUT THE STATE. The crops in Dnrlingtion are said to look extremely fine. The Palmetto crew of Charleston has came off with flying colors at the Saratoga regatta. A terrible storm of wind and hail passed over tho Savannah river last Friday in the direction of Abbeville. It is thought that the cotton crops will be short, but the provision crops fair in tho neighborhood of Florence. Dr. . John T. Darby of Columbia departs for Now Yorx to take a pro fessorship in tho medical college there Rev. P. F. Stevens will deliver an address before the Debating societies at Anderson on the evening of Septem ber 11th.

The delegates to the Stateuominnt-1 ing convention from Sumtcr, arc Moses himsolf, Senator Johnson, Sheriff Tyn dall und Sam Lee. Three for Moses, and one doubtful. The report that President Grant has telegraphed to General Kershaw to como and seo him at Washington nt once, creates considerable uneasiness in tho radical wigwam. Chester is looking up. According to the Reporter a larger quantity of building materials has been shipped to this place during the past twelve months than to any other place in the State. The Radical mass meeting in Marion on the 29th was a failure. Judge Graham spoke for Chamberlain and Haync denounced both Mascs and Chamberlain. Tho crowd, which was small, sympathized with Hayne. Mr. W, S. Howard, of Graniteville, has an apple orchard, covering eight acres of ground, upon which there nre a thousand trees, each of which will produce, according to his estimate, two bushels of apples. The fruit is chiefly of the Shockley and M.angurn variety. The most enthusiastic Conservative mass meeting that has ever been known in Marlboro' county before, took place at Benncttsviile on tho 24th., The meeting was addressed by Col. J. H. Hudson, Hon. C. W. Dudley and Captain Harris Covington. A strong Conservative ticket was nominated. No colored men were put on, because they have always heretofore demanded that their names should be struck off, and it was thought useless. The scare of Moses-Patterson A. Co., in Columbia on Wednesday night was no joke. A guilty conscience made cowards of them all. Thoy did not see in every bush an officer, but in every buglo blast the portent of the comiug of a squadron ot armed avengers.
