SATURDAY, JUNK ,15 1878. Gov. Hampton. Cov. Hnmptoi? reached this point Wednesday morning on tho 10' o'clock train to attend the Annual Commencement oxi roisca of the Clallin University, and proceeded immediately to the College where the exercises were in progress. As he entered the room the entireasson bly arose to their feet and welcomed their and our Chief in u most gratifying manner. As is usual upon such occa sions, he was not permitted to sit long before a call was made fur him Lo ad dress the students and colored people assembled. This he did in bis usual happy :ii'd sensible manner,congratu lating professors and student- upon the recurrence of this season and thy privileges with which they were sur rouuded. I Ie said, his desire has over been to see the colored people thor oughly educated, that they, in com mon with their while neighbors, might become a progressive people making good citizens, who should la bor for the best interest of our entire country. Whiles! education was ne cessary in order tha, this progress might be had, still it was impossible to be good and reliable cit izens with out becoming at tbe same time a good and religions people. Good morals must be coupled with education or the desired eud could not be attain ed. These timely remarks were listened to with marked attention, and at the conclusion lion. H. B. Elliott arose nnd gave his endorseni nt to the words the Governor hud spoken, and said, be knew the Governor long enough to believe that he was sincere and would labor to fulfil his pledges made p^iiera-.and elsewhere. Tho past and the present were guarantees of the future. The colored people in Orange burg, as well as elsewhere in our State, have been very favorably im pressed by the liberal and consistent course Governor Hampton has pur sued, and if no evil circumstances surround them between this and th c election, he will receive the entire colored vote of Oiangoburg. So much for consistency of conduct, liberal political sentiment, aud .integrity of character. Let the people learn a lesson here and the solution of the problem involving the colored vo te will have been found. The Colored Vote. The Abbeville County Democratic Convention refuses lo admit colored clubs to representation in that body, but permits colored men lo unite with the several clubs on exactly the K?me looting with white men. Tbe color line has been wiped out and both races arc to slant! upon a com mon platform of equal rights and equal justice to all, without regard to race, color or previous condition. This is certainly a jump, not a step, forward lor a county that has a black majority. Abbeville an 1 Edgcficld, adjoining counties, stand just opposed to each other in their ideas about managing the colored vote, b 6th, we think, adopting ex tremes. The proper disposition of this vote in the Slate, and particularly in the low country counties, is a question with which tho Democracy will have to contend sit no distant day; and every step taken toward its adjust ment should be deliberately consid ered before decided upon. The colored people arc citizens and Voters in our country; whether igno rant or not, whether by or against our will, does not affect the fact, and they must be fairly and justly dealt with by the Democracy. If our con duct toward them be other than just, wc can never expect to do away with their prejudices and unite them with us upon any reasonable terms. The color of tbe man will decide to what party he belongs save a few scala wORSj who, for plunder and gsvin, mny bo united with one or tho other, as Iiis interest lends him to elnet. Politically, the colored man 13 our equal, made so both by the laws of the nation of which we arc-'subjects, and by the laws of tho Stato in which our deslfliies arc cast, and these laws we cannot annul or change materially. His vote in tho ballot box counts equal with tho white man's vote, either to redress an injury or to perpetrate a fraud; ami there is no other force which the white man can bring to bear upon that vote, to properly direct it, save his superior intelligence. When the colored man holds tho balance of power, as he evidently does in this und other cot rities, the. white man dares not, iguort the influence of his vote; if ho 'does, it is at the peril ni his own interest and the best interest id' his country. With th*-*o facts, therefore, so tangibly before us, it. becomes a question of great moment: In what, position sliaH we place our selves politically or the negro, so as to direct the influence of Iiis vote by our superior intellig m w ? Wj cer tainly cannot do it by standing aloof and leaving him to the manipula tions of cunning politicians in the shape of a shrewd carpet-bagger, or an unprincipled scalawag; but a po sition must be assumed in soino way, which will enable us to bring our in telligence in contact with the voter and thus control the vote. There can be no better time to assume this position tl an now, or more impor tant political principles involved than those of the coining campaign. It strikes ns at this writing, as a necessity of the proper position, that political principles should determine tho party lines and not color of race. Abbeville may hove struck the right cord, but we arc sure Edge held lias not. ? Charlestou. The bill appropriating ?200,000 lor the improvement of Charleston Harbor has passed the U. S. Semite by a vote which insures its passage in the House. This act of justice, forced from the bauds of the nation, is tine, in the main, to the energy and influ ence of ?Senator M. (J. Butler and the President of the Charleston Cham ber %of Commerce. Other insignifi cant streams and way-side Northern and Eastern Jiowns have bad millions expended upon them without a dol lars benefit to inland or foreign com merce, yet Charleston, one of the tr.iiie marts of the South, has been at last awarded this cr.cditable sum. Surely there is a better time coming, and the remaining.8300,000 necessa ry for the cotup'e ion of the work, w 1 not be withheld. With increased Railroad facilities, rapid transporta tion, less freight discrimination, and a deep and comnn diuua harbor, our old city by tho sea may.yet proudly lift her bead above the waters and take her proper position ninong the cities of the laud. "We clip the following well merited compliment to our fellow townsman and much esteemed citi/.en, the Hon. .Samuel Dibble, from that wide awake Speights' Duty/, of the 13 th inst.: "At 12 o'clock !u\, the Hon. Sam uel Dibble, of Orangeburg, one of the first graduates of the Institution in more senses than one, addressed the members of the Preston and Calhoun Societies and an enthusiastic audi ence, which thronged tho College chapel. "Before entering upon Iiis theme directly, Mr. Dibble referred with much feeling to bis never to be for gotten associations with Alma Mater, and the great pleasure it gave him to revisit the scenes of Iiis youthful studies, and meet the friends who had been to him as the members of a fami ly. Mr. Dibble's Mibjcct was : "The Importance of our becoming an edu cate 1 People;" which ho handled with masterly power, doing full justice to bis well earned reputation as an ac complished orator." On Sunday a tornado nccompaniid witli hail passed through Edgefield, Laurcns and other counties. Its path was about two miles wide, its velocity and striking iorce terrific and the devastation complete. Hail stones as large as goose eggs fell with such force as to pass through tho shingle roofing of hruses, shivering window glasses, indenting posts and feiice rails, and striping the trees in the forest of their limbs and leaves. In sonic places the wcathcrbording of bouses were driven off and poultry and other animals killod. On the ?ame day a most dost rue* tivc cyclone passed through Ander son, Greenville und on as far us Cam den blockading the paths and roads everywhere by uprooted trees, rohded limbs nnd shattered fence rails. Iu some portions of its track every building was demolished, and, where bail accompanied the wind, the crops bear the appearance of holds reaped with a scythe. In the wreck of a bouse used as a Sunday School, and at the time occupied as such, the entire school was buried ? two little boys, the .sons of a widow, were taken out dead ami one other fatal'y wound ed. Tl.e track of this cyclone varied from one-half to thiee miles wide The sessions of the great European War Congress will be secret; but the world will he fed with such crumbs of information, as a committee ap pointed for that purpose, may choose to give it from time to time . [Kor the Oraugcburg Times.] Ja > ison, S. C, .june ?bt, 1.S7.s. Mr. h'dilor : It seems to me your readers w nil d like to have a little tftrersion from Primary and Convention systems, Court IhiUSc Kings, bridge building, &o.? subjects important enough, but j it is better to have the discussion of the.-e matters to more competent and J experienced heads. It is lobe hoped thai cor (.'(inven tion, which meets in .1 y, will be well attended and result in mu h good, both by infusing a greater zeal and bringing about a m ?ro praise worthy concert ot action among our people. It is fearful to contemplate the indifference and want of energy in a large majority of our oldest and best men, so fui as enrolling their names oil seme club list, and per forming the duties enjoined upon them by every consideration of home, friend and country, are concerned. It becomes us us true men to dis cbarge these duties and fulfil all the obligations we are under to our coin - j mon interests und county. To fail here is to fail in every thing, and thus to jeopardize our lives and the liber- I ties of the rising generation. It seems that every thinking mind should ^sco that if we lose control of our Stute government, and fortun e places it in the bauds of the IU-pub'i can party again, the slianio will ret upon our beads alone. Taxation without, representation will again bo imposed upon us, which will be the' funeral t'ticll of civil liberty an I self-government in South Carolina. It will then be too late to rtiu around and'bin rah'for Hampton, Straight out aud Home, Ilule. Now is the golden opportunity, and if we will work while it i> day, the Ttii Novem ber will give us the greatest Demo cratic victory ever won in our coun try. Hampton will .-till be our Gov ernor, our whole county ticket will be elected and not one of the Court House ring will be on it. The fanners have enough of pond ing "coons," lawyers and doctors to make laws for them and mean to try a farmer's ticket this time. They are the men who do tbe dirty work (make corn, cotton, &c,) and why not let them have a say-so in making laws. The people at Jamison are Democrats from the woods and want a str nigh tout fanner's ticket, and just such men on it as Mr. S. D. Oantzler to represent them, He is a farmer, a mechanic aud a good man where ever you put him, knows tbe wants of tbe people,nnd will represent fully the common interest of every man in the county. Ho can also carry a large number of colored votes with him. Dike every other true man. Mr. Dant/.lcr does hot want, much less seek the ollicc, and some may object to him because, his "headquar ters" are not at Fischers's, still such are the men we want, and if the Con vention would act wisely, let them put upon the ticket, men of this stamp Such a ticket will insure victory for the Democrats at the next election. Now, Mr. Editor, I hope you will use every efliu t to spur the older men of our county up to a sense of their duty. Many of them think after this fashion: "Well, Hampton has got hold of the helm, and of course, he is such a good man it's no us? voting for him again?just let hi on stay where he is. We don't pay hitn more than half tho taxes we did Chamberlain?he's all right?wo aye satisfied." All I've got to say, is let them stay at home, refuse to join the precinct clubs, fearing they might no called on to pay 10 cents per month for campaign purposes when cvpry man in the county has saved, in Jhe I i lust two years from SI to ?200 in bis tax item alone, and not ouo of those stay-at-homo men can deny it. As soon as tho Itads get in power again and put about 27 mills taxes upon them, they will bo the very first to get off the handle about it and run. up to Hampton for redress. But it will be too late, then. Now is the time to work. 1 will not trespass upon your col umns longer, but will write on my return from a big fish down on tlie San tee, giving full details of fish, crops, politics, &c. Snoo/kk. [For the Orangebiirg Time.--.] Pine Grove, S. C. Juno 1st. 1878. h'fi or Vrutiyelmru Tinws : The last meeting of tin; Demo cratic Club at this placo, posseted more than ordinary interest. Several important matters were acted upon, but the sub ject of the evening was "Primary Elections." It was ill cussed at length, pro and eon. Alter whic.it a vote was taken to obtain tb ? sentiment of the Club. The vote was unanimous ngaiusl tho Primary sys tem. W'c trust this important matter W?1 1)0 decided very so ii, for we feel that very much depends upon the amicable' adjustment of this vox- I ed question. This is mm time for wratigie or experiments in our tanks, but should be a season of activity, that the fruits of our labors may ap pear on 7th of Movembor next. We I urn Irom these imp trtan t mattets, to record another, which is at !< ast more pleasing, if no! of such vital import. <)i riutrsduy le. most of the citizens o this cotnmuti itv turned aside from their reductive vocations to enjoy a short respit e from the labo's, cares an 1 anxieties which meet us, Jaily, in our path , and, to cultivate the "social clement" which is often so sadly neglected in this "progressive age." The placr selected, for the Pic-nie and ii h din tier, was "Weeks'Landing," on the shady banks of the majestic San tee. The day was pleasant, and was fraught, with enjoyment, especially to the young people?who found much enjoyment, in boat-ri?.e->, dis coursing swtot liillaic, both vocal and instrumental, social games &u ; while the older ones, grouped around to discuss the gr?v? r questions and re iJ?y.l^Lies ? f jife, and smiled to see their children happy. The surrounding' scenery of this place, is rather ro mantic, and is calculated to make one feel somewhat sentimental, espe cially while being borne upon t!to losem of the meandering river, with one of the fair sex in a "frail bark." Query :?Under such circumstances, is a young man accountable fur all the vows plighted, the soft vords spoken, and the poetry repeated ? Thus far we have emitted one of the most important foatur Cn, VIZ: The dinner ? "Lives there a man with soul so dead Who to himself hath never said," t!ive me something good to cat? It is sufficient to say, the table was well filled with the best the country, and the surrounding waters could supply. Thus has been added to the past, another of life's brightest days; there has been formed another picture on which memory loves to linger. These social gatherings should be more frequent, for by intimate inter course, we are enabled to know each other better, and from this know ledge, springs that mutual confidence, which is the hash of society. Did we meet oftencc in tho social circle, many of the evils ami misunderstand - ings, which arise from a want of con fidence, would never exi<t, many dark days would be brightened and much of tue gloom that overshadows our paths would be dissipated.
