This they endeavored to do by charging the Democratic party with unfaithfulness to tho man)' pledges they had made during the campaign of 187b"; by charging the Democratic part)' with f and, vio lence and ii limidation; with murders and astattinations; with the violent scieure of the Btate Government; with manufacturing testimony by which they nought to inculpate Radi cal officials; and with unfairness in fhe recent investigations whereby frauds coin mi tied by Democrat* were carefully screened from the public eye.

Tho. Radicals of Beaufort are on tlie war path in real earnest, hut there secru to he dissension among their ranks and a split in their party. Ou Tuesday tho 26th instant at. a niRPB meeting of colored people, tho party leaders wore the hobby of every speaker and had heaped upon them all the slangaud vituperation known in the unabriged edition of t he Radical vocabulary, until tho Ring tail .Roarer, Joe Robinson, made a mad attack upon Tom Hamilton and Myers, of the Wallace House fame, upon whom he charged tho downfa'l of Radicalism in this State. Hamil ton, with his usual independence an d grace, made a sensible and stirring speech in which he declared thai ofliec bad no attraction for him, nor did he cat o whether they (Radicals) thought him ripht or wrong. At the bar of his own conscience he stood for judgment, and appealed to time for a vindication of his course and tho purity of his motive*. Atter this niauly address from one in whom the colored people should feel ? pride, ??iii? narrow headed viper offered tho usual resolutions reading Hamilton out of tho party which were adopted by the meeting. VV. J. Whipper poured fourth a stream of wisdom in a lengthy har angue by way of abuse of tho old party leaders, saying that not oue, against whom fraud in the slightest degree could bo charged, should be a candidate for office. Some one in the crowd called his attention to W. J. Whipper, when lie cried out, "I shall not be a candidate for office." Poor Hamilton received a large por tion of this vial of wrath upon his head. There is evidently trouble in the camp and tho champions of the contesting parties are Whipper aud Smalls, between whom the gamo of io.-,onime^?c7ug>rres', geircrr/tlSly ara ted them, out of his private means, in returning to their homes. This incidont does not admit of comment ? the fact speaks strong enough.? Columbia \{<</i}>trr. The above is the best commentary we have yet seen upon the unselfish generosity and nobility of character of our Governor. Can the Radicals produce the record of any thing like it, or the faintest resemblance to it iu the conduct of D. II. Chamberlain or any other carpet-bag or seal la wag \ official of their party. Wo have hoard of several in.itaiico? of, not ! Democrats but colored Radicals going to their own officials after the election and were con tern ptioualy ?purnod and insultingly denied even trilling favors We have had colored people, coining to us in want of the actual necessities of life when asked, ''why dont you go to y our Radical leaders and officials for help," say they had tried them aud were deuied time after time. The colored people know these things arc so, the Radical leaders know llioy arc tacts, and yet the people are as much the dupes of the I leaders to-day as they ever were. j Surely the generous act of our Governor will lie remembered in kindness if nothing more by his Radi cal opponents. EdgefieldAffray. An old feud existing between the families of Toncys and Booths of eight years stand ing culminated on Monday 12th instant in the death of Brooker Toncy and James and Thom as Uooth. lieuj. Booth was mortally wounded and Win. Colcman, serious ly. Five others went .slightly wound ed. One of each family happen to meet in a storo when the difficulty occurred, and, their friends joined them in the streets. We arc sure nut ody more deeply regrots this unfortunate afiair than the law-abiding citizen ofthat houjr o? old County; but they must dis countenance all such acts of lawless ness to rid themselves of the unenvi able reputation the County has ac quired. It has been thought by som c that polities had much to do with t he A Tremendous Scheme. A I'rnjiospd Railroad Arouud Iho World by Way of Alaska and Kains< liatka. A Southern gentleman, Mr. 8; A. D. Greaves, writing from Livingston",' Madison Count}', Miss , to the Louis* ville V'iiirifr-Juurnn/, makes ihn start ling, though perhaps feasible, pro position ol a railroad from Washing* ton to St. Petersburg. lie lay's: A lew years ago a scheme was agitato 1 for building a great railroad I Win St. Petersburg t<> the Hast IndicvtoY'o '" uect with one alrca ly built,au I br In built by the English government in that country. Tho great French engineer, M. Lesseps, who cut tho Sue/. Canal, was to superintend the work. Also a groat railroad has boon constructed in Peru by General flou ry Meiggs, who died a short time ago, between Callao and Groza. These, with the unncling of Mont Ccuis, and the Pacific Railroad from Omaha to San Francisco, constitute the w In ders of the nineteenth century. And now tonics the Texas Pacific Rail road to San Diego, which groat work will be built in ? few yenrx. Thor? is no power or influence on earth that can prevent it. But there is another great rail road, which, if it can bo built, will eclipse all other enterprises in that line, and will be the grandest rail road in tho world, connecting tho Old ami New World, a id thus avoid ing all the dangers of the Atlantic Oceau. My road will connect the American continent with Asia and Europe. Just think of it ! A rail road from Washington City to St. Petersburg, with only forty miles of water between those great cities of the New and Old World ! My plan is for the United States, Great Britain and Russia, or the capitalists of these great countries, to construct this road.

Hamp ton has sent a requisition to Ohio for ex-Governor Scott. Tho charges against this carpet-bagger aro mauy and serious, tho evidence against him is strouge and ample; and it is high time Gov.

The Independent Candidate. When a man is w .'ftk within his o\vif party, but is anxious to sorvo his country, he come out as an indopon den.' candidate, hecauso, forsooth, he is "yn.-dullod in the mysteries of con ventions;" because ho knows that were ho to submit his claim*.taftfie suffrages ol the party wilh who in he claims to havo affiliated, his defeat, would bo certain and inevitable. Such a man's position h iudcfensible. How humiliating it tifvj be to havo thus openly to ac knowledge his own we?kiuvs. Such amin, however, reek- of nothing but hifq?robabilry of success, and his oal cc'ations can he Summed up aj fol lows : *T can't gel the nomination. I can get so many local conservative votes, it maters not who is the noini nee5 then my family connections arc expensive, and those who are under pcv&onal obligations to myself are numerous, so that 1 can rely on bo many. Again, there will be quite a number within the ranks to whom the nominee will be personally objec tionable, and I shall secure that elo mei I; and then I shall get the entire Republican vote and thus you see my election is assured." Such men are traitors to principle?they aro uu truai worthy; and still there aro many such in this State who aro see'dug to mislead tho people by faleo pretcu sioria, iucrely for the sake of filling office. There are many such daily scattering seeds of discord in our inid'^gttising falsn issues, and agitat ing JK public mind with falso hope3. d?HELivSauppt think that.tjf? people tional purposes for the year commenc ing .Nov. lit 187<), was paid out j>r>, rata in each township where the ?lebt exoerded the amount of cash to its credit.

If he does not know this?it ia because he prelors ignorauco of tho fame, as I advertised to pay in full all claims against those Districts, and he can not deny that, as tho appointee of his Excellency Wade Hampton, in carrying out his promise "that all men should be equal before the law." I have been always ready and willing to give any information desired pertaining to this ollioo to all persons without exception. RonERT Copes, Treasurer of Orangoburg County. [For theOrangebuig Time?.] Okanuebuku, S. C, August 13th 1S78. To the, h.tlitor Orangeburg Times: There appeared in cditorinl columns of your last issuo an article headed The. Radical Ring Convention in which a lew remarks made by myself in tho Republican Convention of the 5th August were so greatly distorted and so wide of the truth, that I feol compelled to appeal to your candor and fairness for a timely correction of the same. I have noth ing to sny as to the justice or propri ? ety of your comments.as theso un doubtedly wero dictated by a mis understanding of the language used on that occasion. Much that I said has been inistnted and murh sup pressed necessary to an understand ing of tho context, but I especially object to being represented as making this false statement, that "not, one school teacher had been paid." What i did say , was that the school teachers of this County had not ban paid in full rJ'bo old son fnyn, "Nancy Jane, bring me my last "Spiritof the South" and after looking over it for some time, said, "Mr.-, I have been knowing you along tiinc,and like you mighty well, hut according to my paper I'll be d?d if it is constitu tional to voto for you." The candidate waited to boar no more, but bo now swears that here after ho will keep in with the news paper men, when ho is a candidate. j Wewtjn's Colored "Masons.'v | How tho llev.

There is gei.erally a ridiculous fide to every story, and there is no oxcep lion lo the mlo in this case. Smith seems to have engrafted himself ho fully into the confidence of his Hook that they t bought hiut inenpao.o ot deception. Among other venture* ottUido his immediate "profession," ho instituted a lodge of "Free Masons," and drew therein all the colored geutry who had any desire (and money) to bo initialed into the socrets of tho order. Ho fixed the initiation fee at tho small sum of 82.50, and only de manded 50 cents for each and every degree.

' .'? - ?ea .?.."11 t.i* ' years on years aguiic, probably about the time of the Revolution, a man of Irish decent passing through tho country on foot, atopped at a far mers house ami a?.kol f>r work. Work wis givcu him, bat he soon left, giving as the rcaion, th it t!io work was hard and the diet light. He was fed morning, noon and night on homiuey. It was homiuey soft, homiuey still', hominey cold,h mi iney hot, homiuey always in tho pot When he left he shook oil' the dust of his feet against tho place and called it ''flomuey Town." Tunis has w irk ed great changes since then, Chan ges in tho appearance of the country in tho appearance ot the poople, iu i thoir modo of dress and manner of living. When years ago, tho hard worked Irishman found nothing but homiuey, now rico, potatoes etc aro iu great abundance. One or two facts strike a traveler as ho pas ses through this section. The first is, that it is very densely populated. There aro houses along the road, houses along tho creeks, houses in tho woods, houses every where., and those houses arc all well filled. Another fact is the thrift and con tentment of these people. Their houses, farms, orchards, lior.lOS and cattle all indicate this. They aro a laboring people, they know how to work and are not ashamed nor afraid to do it, and the result is abundance and contentment. I have often thought that such people, away from the excitement and temptations of the city, village and rail road places, living in the quiet of tho country, re lying on thoir own manhood, inde pendent in their possession, eating thoir bread honestly earned in the "sw eat of their face," arc the happi est people the sun shines on. Anoth er fact is they aro a church going people.and pronounced iu their reli gious Bcntirucut and voice.
