JOHN 0KOKN. juna 0 tf the Democratic party is guilty of uo unfairness in tho recent investigations, and the Hpecch of Mr. Coehrnn. a Republican and a member of* the Committee, proves it to bo true. Tho true reason why they did not put out a State ticket ia that a very largo nulhber of our colored citizens see the good results of Hampton's administration and will vote for him against any carpet-bagger or seal la wag the Radicals can put. in tho field, and this tho leaders know to be true. Jhe rifle clubs are all nonsense and ?11 the cunningly devised schemes Radical leaders can produce will never turn South Carolina or even Orangebnrg County over into their band. The Democracy, white and co lorcd don't mean it. Colored Representation. In our issue of the 10th instant wn made a suggestion concerning the manner of obtaining colored candi date -, the substance of which has been embodied in a resoldtiou passed by tho (Executive Committee at their hist nice ting and published last week. This resolution meets- the objection we havo heard urged by colored cit izens und fixe* tho matter beyond a doubt. There can be no reasonable grounds now for the colored people to entertain a fear upon this point. They most assuredly will occupy positions upon the Democratic ticket and it rests with them to say who au 1 how many they will nominate, as representation will be in proportion io i.he j?utuber of colored persons en rolled. We hope to see a large number cut themselves loose from leaders, who ha veno interest in common with theirs and no use for a colored man save to ride into otlice upon his vote and unite themselves with their nat ural friends and neighbors; and to gether let us work out our common destiny and a common prosperity. Wg believe this to be a fair and honorable plan of adjusting the diffi culty, ami as such recommend it f?i their consideration by the party. Will They Endorse Hampton? The Chester delegation to tho Re publican State Convention, which met hero last week, called on Gover nor Hampton on Saturday audsolic i :cd from him a contribution to ouab le them to return to Chester. The Governor, feeling sorry for these uu kilkenny cats will be played. Let .he Democrats of old Beaufort look on w ith silent satisfaction for the end. mmm ? mm Mexico. Our relations with this country seem it) he getting somowhat compli cated. To protect tho citizens of Texas in the peacable possession of their property . the United States government placed troops on the border with iu it ruction to pursue oflenders even upon Mexica . terri tory and bring them Injustice. These instruction have been ixeeutcd and the property of our eitizeus proi j I. hut in doing so, serious troubles nave nritffu between the two govorumen' It is now reported that a force is being organized to resi:.". i edijral troops on Mexican soil without -i <,? ping Mexican raids upon the citizens of Texas. Such a Ktate of things cannot long exist without a collision between the troops and an introduc tion of a war between tho two nutions. ? -* mi - Austiiitn Affairs. The Berlin Congress in dividing out Turkey to hungry Europe, gave. Bosnia over to Austria. This ar rangemeut docs not exactly suit and her people are rising up everywhere t o resist the Austrian advance to occupy tho country. Tho excitement is spreading over in Herzegovina and causes considerable uneasiness in Scrvia. Great bitterness seems to bo manifest and it is thought that Austria can only occupy and 4uio Bosnia by a largo force and complete subjugation. The will of the people iu Europe, and particularly a small province, is of little consequenco to the ruler of Eastern Europo. ?'Diiiny, Dinny, hurry up and show yourself. The byes are just howlin' furyez." "Hould on," roplied Kear ney, "wait, till I git tho black cop t and collar afl'of me. Av they caught a sig hi of thim they'd shtone me fur a bloated bondholder." Only the truly great know how to use advice as well as to give iu affray because it happen during the day Hampton and the State nominees address the people of Edgefield; but wo are assured that not the slightest tinge of polities entered into the affair and it is not possiblo for eithor the National Republican party or tho State Radical faction in any way to make capital *mt of it. E. A. Webster. In oti ...unents on tho Radical Ring Convention in last issue we wrote Mr. Webster as saying "not a school teacher had been paid du ring Gov. Hamptons administra tion." This editorial was base I up* on the notes takon by our reporter who was cautious to tako only facts and the words of tho speakers as near ly as possible. Lot this bo as it may, we have granted Mr. Webster tho use of our columns to make tho cor rection due him. Tho reader will notice that "the school teachers of this county had not been jtaiil in full for ser vices rendered darin;/ Hampton's admin istration" are the words Mr. Web stor acknowledges to have used on that occasion; he will also notice in Mr. Copes' article, in the paragraph above the last, he says that every teacher in School District Nos. 5, 18 and 22 were paid in full by him and that in District No 5 there is a sur plus of $35.82. This was for services rendered during Hampton's udminia t ration. Mr. Copes wrote his articl officiate ly and it proves conclusively that the expression Mr. Wobttor acknowl edges is an unwarrantable as that given by our reporter. Not ouly wero the teachers in som o of tho School Districts paid in full but Mr. Web ster himself was paid in fallout of money collected during Himptoo's administration. The only reasonable construction we can place upon his words is that he used them for a pur pom and that purpose was to impose upon tho cre dulity of his hearers. ?< Wo would call the attention of Democrats to the circular in today's issue of our County Chairman, Gen . Jas. P. I/Jar, calling tho County Convention for the 12th of September n ext. This will bo tho most important meeting of our party during the campaign, and it behooves our Clubs to send good delegations up of stnuumh and trustworthy Democrats ?

Then let EuglauJ, or English capitalists, build the road through New Georgia to tho point whore the Youcan River runs iuto Alaska; and then through Alaska to Capo Prince of Wales, on Behring's Straits; then let Russia, or the comp uny, composed of the capitalists of the Old and New World, construct tho road from East Cape, or Behr ing^ Straits, to St. Petersburg.

The engi neering Hkill of America and Europe will, like faith, remove mountains, ico and snow. It isunconquerable, and, in my opinion, there H no doubt of its sway. I propose that the road start on tho Asiatic side at East Capo, nearest to America, and run east around tho head of the Gulf ofAnadir, thenco by Anadirst on the Anadir River to Vcrkhnar, to Oust Viiliuisk, to No veselorgSh, to Karjmshnrsky, to Sog vinsk, to Oust Sysolk, and to Si.

X_S [For the Orangebnrg Time?.] Editor Orangeburg Times : Orangeburo, S. O., August, 10th 1878. Mr. Editor : I find iu your issue of this dato under tho heading "Tho Radical Ring Convention" as follows : "Webster followed in the speech of the occasion. He endorsed tho pro ceeding remarks and added tha t Hampton's administration was a failure; not a promise made by him, was fulfilled; not one school teacher bad been paid; that if promising everything and fulfilling nothing constituted a statesman then Hamp ton should he raised to that position; and that he would oppose Hampton's administration to tho last. The I speaker thanked his hearers for their ! attention, and assured them that his words camo from the heart." By refering to my books I ate that 1 paid into his (E. A.

They arrivo about, dusk, and the candidate being in a hurry, broaches the subject at once, in one of the prettiest little '?whacker's'' speeches you over heard. for services rendered during Hampton's administration. Tho facts stated in your article, for information of which you refer to tho School Commissioner and County Treasurer, do not in any way conflict with this, and to those oflicials I most rozpeetfully and con fidently refer for a confirmation of my statement. In no way did I reflect upon them, or intimate that there had not been a fair and equitable apportionment and prom] t payment of the funds actually approp riatcd and collected. The School Commis sioner was elected as a Republican and all believe him to bo a concien tious public oliicer. As to our County Treasurer, I embrace with pleasure this opportunity of award ing to him that iust mood of praiso, which a faithful, efficiout, and cour teous discharge of the duties of that important office, has commanded even from his political opponents. Although school claims for services rendered during both years of Hamp ton's administration have been soil ing and may now be bought for, ?!> to G5 cents on the dollar, it is mv candid and honest conviction that whon there is money in tho Treasury to meet these demands, the most influ ential merchant in town will receive no more favor or consideration than the humblest school teacher in tho County.
