ORAEGlBUltG TIMES. ORANOEBURG, S. C., NOV. 12, 1874. STILES It. MELIiicilAMP, Editor, j G. W. W'HITBHEAD, PUBLISHER AND BUSINESS MANAOKU. BgU We are in no way responsible for the view or opinions of our Correspondents. () THE COUNTY ELECTION, We promised last week to give to-day j the full official vote iu the County, but as the Commissioners of Election have not finished counting at tho time of going to press, wo Will have to appro* imafce at the result. Chamberlain received, according to our calculation, about 383G and Green 2005, showing an Independent gain of over 300 since 1870. Wo'think the ?following County Tickot is elected: Sheriff. E. I. Cain (Reg' and Pco's.) Probate,Judge. A. B. Knowlton (People's)?' School Commissioner. Rev. Thos. Phillips (People's.) I aunty CommisLers. \ > J. P. Mays (Regular) F. B, .Johnson (Regular.) F. W. Fairy (People's) Legislature i?.L. Duncan (Remand Pco's.) Jfaul Jones*(People's) W. H. Reedish (Regular) r . Shed Morgan (Regular) Aaron Simons (Regular) , Coroner. J. H. Fordham (Reg' and Peo's.) Judge Knowlton, we believe, was complimented "with the handsomest majority. GOOD RESULTS. One of the most pleasing features of j the present campaign has been tho progress in the direction of-the har mony of the races, ic spite of the con tinued alienation of a majority of tho colored people. The fact has now been established that color and party arc no longer ob stacles to combinations for the public good. Both in Charleston and Orangeburg, if not elsewhere, men have been elected to office by a union of Conservatives and Republicans, which b certainly a "wholesome sign, both for the present and future. - ? ?? THOUGHTS ON THE ELECTION. It is our duty always to. Btrike for tho right, less mindful of the temporary result, than of tho justice and final triumph of the cause. Upon this prin ciplo wo entered into the present cam paign, as well as that of 1870, and even beyond the question of right, wo think we have ample cause for satis faction, and even of rejoicing at the developments. The task w hich' loomed up before us of overcoming a Radical majority of over 33000, was not one calculated to inspire hope and confidence, and.yet what has been the actual fruit of the campaign? The colored majority in thcStato is 31,674. In 1870, Scott,' without making n speech that we know sofi wcntf.inti) power with 33,534 majority. In this ^campaign Chamberlain speaks from mountain to seaboard, and is compli mented for his eloquence and argumen tative ability, by a reduction of this majority to probably 11000. . By these facts and statistics we are drawn to the gratifying and natura} conclusion, that, in tho short space of four years,1 over 10,000 cdiorcd men have burst the letters1 of political slav ery, and ranged themselves under the banner of freedom, good government and conciliation. .?_ ... ?? .. .? ? ??-?t ?I-~ . THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. Wo cull from the Charleston News and Courier the following figures, iudi cativo of the probable complexion of the next Legislature: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Regular Republicans..00 konservatives.....83 Independent Republicans....31 SENATE. Rcgulnr Republicans.. 18 Conservatives..........!.7 Independents......8 Showing an Iudepcncnt andConserva live majority ou joint I allot, of one.

Regular Republicans..,...25 Conservatives.,.8 If the figures of the News and Courier are correct, wo sii??ld cortainly4 feel satibUctl with this achievement. 0 UR VICI GRIES AND DANGERS '3*; 'Xpe .elections<m 'fuesday have re sulted in an-almost unbroken series oi ai?Ocratic victories. Nover probabl] has the country known such a suddt and complete revolution of politic sentiment. The secret of this change has . been a subject of speculation. Credit Mobil ier, Salary-grab, Southern Republicanism and Congressional legis lation, have nil been supposed to baye. exerted an influence. ? But. Whatever tho - cause-may- have been, - the fact is established, and the Democratic party is again on tho .threshold of power. . We would' however warii the party that it may be easier to gain power than to hold it. JLet the;Demccratio party, prove bj wise moderate and lib eral legislation, thatit ia the true p?riy of freedom, and tb& victory of to-day will bo perpetuated,! 'and peace and good will he once more:established ;, otherwise its triumphs will bo of short duration. -, ? , ??-? , 0$\i,-, ,- ?. ' THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES-A POLIT ICAL REVOLUTION I Tlie^Next Congress. Of tho 291 .members of tho present Congress the Republicans have 200 and the Democrats 91?-a clear Repub lican majority, of 100. At tho. elections already held this year thei ppmoor? ta havo overcomo this . overwhelming majority, and by a very moderate es|i= j mate will have, after'March 4.1875,! a majority of 53.-^-Nows and Courier. .We feel very much as if wo had been | kicked all the way from' Boston to New Orleans.?Union-Herald. What the Northern Papers Say abont It. [From the New Yrrk Herald.'] ? - - General Granit, who led the Repub lican party into power two years ago with the largest majority, perhaps ever given to a president, may /feel this morning, as ho reads the return's of] the November elections, that he has been like the Prodigal Son, and has squandered a precious political inher itance. s ?JFV*m the New York Sun.} If the greatest party evrtr known in | this country is to be saved from utter destruction two years hence, add if it is not to pass from history disgraced as well aa defeated, the leaders and man sgers must make a thorough chnngo in their policy. It would be still wiser | to change many of the leaders them selves, v i ???-. - [From the. New York Tribune) Tho verdict of the country agniust Giantism is delivered. There were only two, great questions before the people at this election. One was who thcr the administration, deserves the] public confidence, and the other was whether it ought to bo . perpetuated. They have both been anaWered in tho negative, bo loudly that even the Pres ident must hear the verdict. !t*?tf -* *o M ?

If lioWill only read my article carefully ho will find these words!'?-"I did not hear; this.. mysolf, but others say they did"?and my informants will certify to it May I advise -you, when you write, to present matters in .their true light?. A. B. charges mo with/egotism and vanity, and Lspresenta me as rush ing into controversy without counting the cost If simply repeating what my friends have said, concerning my sor I mon, is an evideneo of . egotism and vanity, then it follows naturally, that I am like A. B., an egotist. Ho is fond of repeating what his friends say about his dental work, and doubtless indulges frequently in praiso of his1 skillfull operations. Xwi- mistake? ! If A. B. will read a b ap tist book on titled:?-"Bringing in Sheaves," he will have a nice specimen of ^Baptist ego tu&ai and will loam (I hope) to "sweep] before his own doors before offering to sweep before the doors ;bf others," as tho old adage has it. And if he will read j ust one littlo paragraph in my article he will see that I do not claim, either directly or indirectly, to have "done what the greatest minds of the age havo failed to do,"as he says. That ] paragraph reads thus :-5-"! make no claims to great originality of thought, but have culled tho most precious jewels to bo found'on this' subject, and connecting them with my owii thoughts have given them my .own moulding; and now it remains to bo scon whether | they are] worth any' thing or not." I have not rushed into controversy, but ] lhave simply defeuded the faith of the apostles, martyrs, confessors and re formers;! and I am not at all fearful as regards the final result. A. IV seeks to give moral tone to his article by referring to the old latin proverb, which ho imagines serves a | good purpo'e,; but unfortunately for him it neither ; beautifies nor gives weight to lib uncharitableinroductiott. He -has uncorked tho viafs of*his wrath, labored to eclipsu the Pedobaptists, to present me in a fabe light, to show himself ii champion in controversy ,aud after all his exertions, has simply pro duced a. mass of gross perversions. He has truly made "a ridiculous mus," of my argument founded on the shortness fpf fTohn's minbtry and tho:/vast nuin* ] bor baptized-by him. And it shows' lhbw a mail, although claiming intelli gence and Christian faith, can perverL tho truth. This argument I would jlifcei to give in full, but as my articloj is growing lengthy, I must forbear. 8. T.
