ORAjN gebuiig times. ?RANGE?t'K?, S. C, MAKCH 11, 1875. G* W. WHITBHEAD, PUBMSUKR and business MaKAGKU. We avc. in no icay responsible for (he vi'etr? or opinions of our Coirespondcnls. To the Patrons of the ? Times." It will doubtless be a matter of sur prise to most of you to find, with this issue, that the Times has passed into other hands, aud au explanation on my part may therefore be expected. With this view I would state, that although tho paper has never sinco its establishment enjoyed tho patroungo it should, as an independent advocate of the interests of the minority, com peting with a well fed "official organ," supported liberally by the Democrats, j it is to-day in on prosperous condition ns it ever has been, tho subscription list and advertising patronage being just as large?if not larger?than at any other period of its existence. The financial prospects of the paper would rather encourage continuance, but, unfortunately, my health having failed to such an oxtent that it is im possible for mo to continue longer at the case op a printer, and a change of occupation being necessary, I have concluded, sinco tho last issue to make a final disposition of tho paper, and have been compelled, in the absence of j other offers, to do the best I could, and as the parties who havo bought (the proprietors of the Orangeburg News) havo agreed to carry out our contracts with subscribers and adver tisers, I trust the arrangement will prove satisfactory. In conclusion, I desire to return my j thanks for past patronage, and to wish success, both to our former patrons and to the new proprietors. G. \V. V/IIITLHEAD, Proprietor Orangeburg Times. THE FORCE RILL. Congress has adjourned, aud the force bill, the pet measurelofPres^ ^drmt Grnnt pno nntr-pnaacrl^' TllOoff ject of the bill was to give him thft the power to use tho United States troops and courts anywhere in the South for the accomplishment of his designs. In the four States of Ala bama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar kansas he could suspend the writ of | habeas corpus. General Grant is making every ef- ! fort to secure the republican nomina tion for next President, and we hope he will succeed in getting it; for if he does, aud the Democrats oppose him by such a man as Tilden, of New York, Thurman or Allen, tho issue will be tho civil against military su premacy, in which case Grant will certainly bo beaten. Ho is doing the very thing to defeat his pa'rty?and if tho Democrats only continue to act with the wisdom which has marked their course of late, they will be successful. The action of the Grant party in Louisiana and Ar kansas, and their attempt to pass this lorce bill, as well as all other meas ures lending to military supremacy, have changed public opinion all over the countiy, and if the democrats con tinue to champion th*e civil cause against the military, and insert in their platform all those purely demo cratic pinciples which aim at the amelioration of the oppressed, and the establishment of good government, their tiiumph will be irresistible; Tradition tells us that when the Huguenots first settled on tho const of South Carolina one of their first acts was to recpiire every land owner to plant and cultivate at least two acres of breadstuff's for every member of tha family, and subsequently they passed a kindred act apprenticing every man or woman who had no daily employment to som& industrious farmer, for the purpose of making them grow provisions. There is no doubt that at the present time it would be a blessing to the couu'.ry if a law was passed requiring every person idling or sponging around largo cities, like New York or Charleston, to bo taken up and put to work on sonic well organized farm. It is an imposition for the farmers to Iced sueh a horde who are skulking from field work, and consuming with out producing a grain for tho susten ance of. their fellow-beings. There are too many, also, standing behind co > ? (\> luyi some effeminate and ?vi;, t.n^hf. t he in die field making corn, tins is the teeret of half the liard times. Major M. U. Deluny, the colored conservative candidate for lieutenant governor, delivered a lecture by re quest in Trving's Hall, New York ou March' ?th. His subject was "Tho Present Political issues of tho South." Ho was introduced to a largo au dience by Hon. William Cullen Bry ant, and soon portmyed the true con dition of things at the South, which ho urged the Northern people to ac quaint themselves with more thor oughly. - Ho told them that tho two race." at the South weio kindly dis posed toward ench other and would always continue so wero it not for the intermeddling- of a few scalawags and carpet-baggers, who, in order to keep in office, teach the colored peoplo that democracy means slavery, uud repub licanism freedom. His audionco was composed of whites and blacks, and tho leoturo was well received and will doubtless do much good in promulgating the truth. ? General Gordon, of Georgia, and Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, two eloquent Southern statesmen, have, by invita tion, taken-the stump in New Hamp shire, in tho interest of the democratic tioket. They have appointments to speak every evening until election day. They nre liberal democrats and will convince tho Northern people that the Southern people aro neither ruffians nor instigators of violence against tho Union, as tho blatant Butler would have them believe. GENERAL NEWS. -i-C 0 - Ex-Pre?idp.nt Andrew Johnson is now iu the United States Senate. James K. Moans, son of Capt. S. C. Means, of Spartanburg, accident ally shot himself and died almost in stantly. General Porter, the new democratic governor of Tennessee, who was an officer in the Confederate service, iu making up his staff, has. cotriRStrd tho armobAiinenrof quartern!aster-general ^WPC?pT?'in Hood, who served in the Union army. There is nothing new in ths Car dozo matter, except the adoption of a resolution, by both houses, requiring tho attorney-general to assist tho com mittee in preparing an address for Cardozo's removal. Jn tho past two days there seems to have been n cur rent in Cardozo's favor, and it is now stated confidently, by his friends, that many who voted for the appointment of tho committee will not vote for the address. The proceeding threatens to be long. Chaucellor Johnson and Mr. Trenholm represent tho conserva tives on tho committee. Tho address will probably bo presented to day. Tribute of Respect. At a meeting of the session of the Orangeburg Presbyterian church held on the 1st March, tho following Min ute was adopted in rcferenco to the death of Dr. E. J. Oliveros: * Dr. E. J. Olivoros was born at St. Augustine, Florida, on the 15th May, 1836, and died from tho effects of a fall from his house on tho 12th Jan uary, 1875, and was- consequently in the thirty-ninth year of his age. He early turned his attention to the study of medicine, and graduated in tho Medical College in Philadelphia, when lie was about twenty years of ago. Ho at once commenced the practico. of medicine in Thomas County, Ga., where ho remained for a number of years in tho discharge of a good practice. At the commence ment of tho lato war he joined tho Confederate army and served to its close, as surgeon, in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia. Immediately after the war he settled in Oraugeburg, when ho gave up the practice of med icine, and carried on a largo and suc cessful business ns druggist and apoth ecary, in which business he continued to tho timo of his death. Only one week before his death, his house and store, with all his stock, were con sumed by a devastating fire, which laid in ashes a largo part of our town. Scarcely anything was saved from tho flumes. This loss he borei with un complaining Christian submission, recognizing God's hand in taking away what he had given. And while tho whole community was yet stagger ing under tho heavy loss which had been inflicted on it?scarcely ablo to realize the extent of its loss and auf? ?c.mg?he himself, one of i?.-j most Prominent und tiaclVl members, by a providence- sad and mysterious to us, was suddenly taken r.wiry from us, in the full vigor of health, and with scarcely n moment's warning. Dr. Olivcroa was borii of Roman Catholic parents, and reared under the influenco of that church; but'when lie came'to manhood he was led, after mature deliberation, to rehguncp that faith, and united with tho Boston Presbyterian church in Thomas Co., Ga., then under the pastoral care of Rev. Eli. Graves; and in 18?4 ho transfeircd his membership to this church. On the 28th Juno of the same year ho was united in marriage to E. Rose C. Beach, who, with' three children, still survive him. Iii Feb. 1867 ho was set apart to th&gypca of deacon in tho Orangeburg church; and in May, 1871, ho was ordained to the office of ruling elder, both of which offices he tilled to the comfort stud ed ification of God's people. Dr. Oliveros was a good citizen, a kind and affectionage husband and father, an exemplary Christian, and a faithful ruler in God's housfe* His place is now vacant in our round Is. We shall no more meet with hjim here and take sweet couusel together; but trust wo shall meet him again in "the general assembly and Church of the first bora which are written iii^ Heav en. We mourn lib loss; but we mourn not as those who havo no hope. He has doubtless entered into Iiis rest, and received the "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." "Aud I heard a voice from heaven sayingrunto mo, write, blessed are tho dead which dio in the Lord fromIienceforth;^ycn, snith the Spirit; that they may rest from their labors, aud their workp. do fol low them." I Jtcsolvul, That in the death cl Dr. E. J. Olivcroa tins church has Lst a zealous and faithful supporter, a wise counsellor, and an exemplary Christian- -ono who cIu.-ri?liod an abiding interest in its welfare, aiid who, wo boiicvej conscientiously tried to dhchorge his duties, both as a private Christian- and a ruler in God's house. V Resolved, That we recognize AjSod'i liand in that stroke, by which he .wuno suddenly, and in a way-sc distressing to us, taken away from us; and that we bow in-silent submission to the Divine will, recognizing God's right to call for His own when and how ho will, and thanking J lim for the fathful 8CrvjfgWttl nious exauiplc, which, abled to render.'' Resolved, That we tender to the family of our deceased brother our sincere and heart felt sympathy in their sore atlliction, aud commend them to tho grace of Christ which abounds towards his people in all their sor rows. Resolved, That a blank page in our book of records be inscribed to his memory, and that tho clerk be directed to send a copy of this minute aud these resolutions to the family of our brother.

As long as there are fools enough to get drunk they ought to bo taken care Alonzo Webster has been appointed postmaster at Oraugeburg, and, we presume, will enter upon his duties in a few days. Tho next question is, who.o is tho post office to be? There are no "official" newspapers iu the State, Public officers and pri vate citizens can publish every notice required by law to be made public, in any newspaper they may select. The New York Bulletin, in view of tho adjournment of Congress, congrat ulates the busiuess community on the riddance of one of the most formidable embarrassments in the way of Spring trade. The hotel at Florence has closed. Cause?civil rights bill. Many other hotels are being converted into private boarding houses, whether for the same cause or not is a subject for surmise. The Free Citizen, speaking ot our retiring editor, says: "Wo notice that Mr. Mellichamp retires from the edit mini management of the Orangeburg Times. This we regret, as he is evidently a gentleman of culture and integrity, and' withal, of liberal and conservative views. We are glad, for his sake, ho has other and, wo trust, more profitable business. Gov. Chamberlain, on the petition of many citizens of Orangeourg comi ty, including tho bar of that county and other prominent persons, and on the recommendation of Judgo Heed and Solicitor Buttz, has commuted the sentence of Govan Reed, who was convicted of murder at tho January term of the court of general sessions, from dca(h, _ to imprisonment for twenty years iu the State penitentiary. A subscrnW to? a paper died a few days agD, leaving four years' subscrip tion unpaid. The editor appeared at tho grave when tho lid was being "screwed down tho last time, aud put in the coffin a palm leaf fan, a liren coat and a thermometer, which is only used in warm climates. ? The architect has drawn tho plan tor the new court house for Oraugeburg, I which is to cost not more than ?25, | 000. Wc don't know that the peop'e of Orangeburg arc wealthy, although one would judge so by the amount; of taxes they can pay; but we do think we ought to have a court house as well as other towns of the State of tho same size. It is an outrage.us shame that the school trustees of Orangeburg county, besides appointing teachers who are incompetent, will actually issue cer tificates far beyond the levy made to meet the account, the consequence being that only the fortunate teach ers who come first to tho treasury office get paid, while tho others have to go unpaid altogether, or until a special levy is made for back ac counts, which is generally doubtful. The radical party has been in power long enough now*to do better, it they choose. The tolling of tho bells on Saturday morning conveyed the sad intelligence of another stroke from tho hand of death in our midst. Mrs. Harlcy, tho mother of our cstcemea fellow-citizen, J. P. Harlcy, Esq., died at her resi dence in this place, on Friday last, in the seventy-sixth year of her age. Tho funeral services were poformed iu the Methodist church on Saturday, and her remains were accompanied to the grave by a large circle of sorrow ing friends. She has pussed a full life of Christian usefulness, and has gone to receivo her reward. Our sympathies are with the bereaved. MARRIED, On March 2d, 1875, by Rev.
