Or0ormor. ' SATURDAY. AUGUST 3!, 18 8. "Wo Plt^'-o Ourselves to Protect the Persons, rights and Pioperty Of all (ho People." This pledge was ingrafted lipon the platform of 187G by the Susie Democratic Couvcution and is repea ted in that of tho preeont eampnign, and with what faith iL has been kept by the Judicary department of tho government aH well a?5 the ISxecu tive, the News and Courier proves by a "well timed editorial based upon in formation obtained direct from every Judgo save Judge Shaw, who was too ill to answor the injuries. S uch shot thrown into the enemy's camp strikes with telling ef^ct, not only in coufu ^^^^?^Jjei'uuk;and file ui" Had i cat ism | ?uBBH?3pBBflNPHff strai,')W^ out Democracy, but sols every man to thinking who honestly entertains Republican views and yet desires a good government and tho perfect equality of all our citizens before the law. With such a plain statement of fact1:, can an honest *mtin longer bait between tho parties, or with hold his support from an administra tion which gives beyond successful contradicti jn the greatest protection to the persons, right-; and properly of our citizens. Judgo Prcssley reports but a ."jin gle criminal case pcrpotiatcd by a white, man against a colored person. Judge Aldrich says, "where one outrage has been committed by a white man against a negro, ten out rages of colored pcrvoun i:: >? ni whiles c'.u readily he enumerated," and ?whore "negroes wore dofendents, they rejected every colored juror, porforring a white Jury." Judgo Hudson doc? not remeinbei oftryiogluil "one case of crime or violence committed by a while man Upou or against a colored peivou and that one win i - tolf defence." Cn ?tances ot violence upon blacks arc verj* rare anil "there ?? marked di minution of crime .tec Hampton's installation." Judge Kei.-.haw asserts that "not one of the casrs ou the Circuit in volved a breach of the pence on the part of a while man upon a colored man." Tho improvement in tho con dition of the State has been tin: sub ject of general tenmvk." Judge Muckey says, "In :i circuit of an area of 3,500 square miles and it population of 100,000, nut one ne gro* hat lost hi:; life m! the hands of a while man during the past nineteen months." "Since the inauguration of Oov Hampton the proportion of crime to population, in lie- sixth cir cult, has been !ar loss than in any New Bdgland Stale. Judge Wsdltieo sayu that the de ettunO of critito of gni h ; in the State ?? been ?<' ' "*??' " ' pervading and a bettor .under in ting lnu< boon d?\ i ? ;>'.'' b.:T .v ?-i twt> mew's. | Judgo Thompson does not remetn j bet a case of violence by a white man upon a colored person and finds that aggressions by whites upon' tho person or property of colored par sons are comparatively rare." Fi ually criine is diminishing. We publish on our out-side to day the address of the Slate Demo cratic Committee, and trust lhat ev t rv readei will not only imbibe its spirit., but make ovcry effort to iu flucneo others that it may be tho ! rule of their action also. In very nearly every county there seems to be boiuc trouble, whether in Con veil ? tion or Primary counties, and some thing \a absolutely necessary to keep up parly discipline If the dissatis faction which exists in Primary counties is to cause a split, and if tho objections which are urged against conventions are to errate a division in those counties 'adopting that sys tern, then the cause of Democracy j will fail anil the state, with her eiti >;cus, their rights and property, will lie again turned over into the hinds d Radicals, who know hotter how to -leal than to govern, and will deal oiii justice to our citizens in propor tion to the number of dollars they j pay for it' Wo take it that there are enough Radicals in every county, who, by uniting with the disaffected Dcmo crats, can elect their ticket, and pro diet that thoi will do il, if this abno mal condition continues. The low Democrats elected on the Radical ticket, will not long continue their adherence to their old principles, but, by force of attraction from a greater body, will ho merged into tho R ulical parly or he absorbed by it, This our enemies know, and, if they can breed contention and dissatisfaction in our ranks, will do it with no other aim than to absorb their Democratic allies and thus control the Stale.. If such a tiling he at all probable (and no one can doubt it) how unwise is it for any portion of our party to allow petty differences to drive them to a course of conduct which will cert ain ly destroy Democratic power and defeat the ends of good government in South Carolina. Tho mere fact of a man, thus elected, being a Demo crat does not shield him from the approbrium which will inevitably at tach to such a couvso of conduct. The Democratic parly previous to ISTowcrc in a hopeless minority, and the success of the lest campaign was achieved only by bringing to bear all f*uv available influence upon the colored people. Continued success now can only be maintained by keep ing our ranks unbroken; and nuj in subordination on the part of our members at this crisis will prove fatal to the cause of h oncst government. Any' movement looking to a union with the Radical party will he about as wise an a man giving his most hitter enemy a stick to break his own liGad. We would rejoice to sec the day when any man, who felt so disposed, could put. his name before the people for their sulliagas, but this cannot be the case where two great parties, as antagonistic in their aims as the Democratic ami Radical, are striving for tho mastery. More especially is this true when the stronger has a re cord of accursed perjui v, corruption and crime, and the weaker of events as noble and honorable as ever made a people proud of their history. Surely, therefore, our people will not allow potty differences, founded open personal hatred, prejudices or imaginary inconsistencies, to divide the party and thus aid ourenomies to win the victory. Fur the Orailgehurg Times. ?HANGKHUK?, S. G, August 26th 1878. Mr. lCdilor : Thursday, August 221, will pro bably bo marked with a white, stone in the calendar of many of the younger citizens of our County, as a day fraught with greater enjoyment l as possibly, but seldom heretofore, gladdened their hearts, flic popular pastor on Providence circuit planne I a pic-nic to please the children, which came od' very happily last w ? ek. Fight Sunday schools united harmoniously in a large tna3s-mcet ii;g held at the new Union camp ground in lower St, Mat I hews. Two of the schools wore llnptist, and thus, again was verified the eloquent language of "The Strange Preacner," * Judah and Simeon with locked, shields, pressing the battle to the Fears were entertained regarding tho weather, and anxious eyes wore c;?M towards the heavens, but the sun rose with undimmed lustre, ban ishing with a rosy blush the Iloeey clouds that hung over the portals of morning; and iwcet fancy's sun beams Hooded the minds of bright eyed youth with radiant anticipations outlining with glowing tints tho d c lightful visions, soon to pass in bril liant panorama through the golden hours of the near future. At half past nine, near one thous and persons wore in wailing, and a half hour later, a procession was formed, embracing about one third of the number present. Suporintond aats and teachers led their respective schools, and seven little hearts I doubtless expanded with justifiable pride as seven pair of little hands 1 each bore aloft a boautiful bann or over the ranks moving to the inspir ing strains of "Weare marching to the kingdom." It was a proud mom ent for them, and your correspond ent is not so far advanced down the vale of life, but that vivid recollec tions of "once upon a time" came drifting back with the echo of years gone by, as the sceuo there preset.tod, recalled the days w hen, a careless, happy child, I too, mingled in the ranks, and thought it the highest honor my childhood ever knew, to 1)0 permitted to bear tlie banner iu front of classmates and friends. Considerable disappointment was felt by some on account of the ab sence of several prominent persons, who were invited, and promised to deliver addresses; however, there was no cause to be disappointed iu those that were made. Master A vinger delivered a saluta tory which was followed by recita tions from a number of children of the different schools. Mr. Cut lino, a prominent minister of the Baptist Church, then set forth the importance und usefulness of the Sunday school, in a studied address, but tho limited time allotted to the speakers, preven ted as thorough a discussion as ho was prepared to give of the subject. Mr. W. L. Glazo next made sonic very fine remarks in a pleasant and impressive manner, the creditable style in which he acquitted himself, rendered rather superfluous his pica ol being totally unprepared, for tho nudionce was deeply interested as he enforced tho necessity of forming and sustaining 11.1 admirabU individual character in life in order to bo suc cessful, lie engaged the attention o f the children als ?, by an occasional "happy word" to them, and closou v with an appropriate poetical quota tion after folly convincing all present that so much had thoy to make them happy and cheerful, that il' they did not appreciate what was done for them, "Why, my sake.? alive," what ought to be done with them ? ltev. J. B. Platt then clo-ed with a short, though touching address, iu which he illustrated the beautiful simile whereby the mind of a child is compared loa pure, unwritten page on which, each mentor inscribes an epitaph that will be read before th c assembled multitudes of the universe, when the great book of life is opened for a fiunl judgment. After a short iutermissien, tho procession was again formed and marched to tho tables, which were arranged in a circle, each sell ool having one np propriated to its u-e, and more than eight sell ools were represented there. We will leave it to the imagination to picture the sceuo that ensued. Great praise is due the projectors and managers of the pic nic, and nowhere were their.skill and taste better exhibited than in tho arrangement of the ample feast that crowned the board. Mr. Shingler, assisted by others, made a very elli eient marshal, and Dr. P. W. Dantz ler deserves worthy mention for the active part he took in the days pro ceedings. In tho afternoon, the audience again assembled under tho stand, and were entertained with one boauti ful song JJ after another, seeming to prefer the charm of music to that of str.Hing over the grounds. There is always something strangely solemn to mo in afternoon service, but whether it is caused by the subduing influence of the waning ligbt, the relaxation of mind from more intenso effort and its gradual sinking into repose, or, is attributable to the effect of imagination, T cannot tell, but the songs sung then always seem peculi arly mournful, the prayers are sad and touching, and the sermons con vey a pitying warning to sinning mor tals- Even half-festive as the scene was, I could not effectually banish these sobering reflection on looking over that large crowd and thinking how ninny times I had scan the vast ' assemblies under "the stand," that tal ismanie word to Methodists, at tlio sound of which memory calls back /"very tender and sacred associations Jof the thrilling scenes of long ago, that came and went so fast. Though the necessity that caused its institu tion, no longer exists, the camp-meet i ng is hound by too many lie.^ to the hearts of the living, to die out of existence yet awhile, and many a re looking forward loa renewal of fami liar days Ioiijj past and gone, as the ground, at which tho pic-nie took place, is being built-up with the expectation of holding a meeting this fall, when, 1 trust, with equal pleas ure, wo will all once more gather under the stand at Union. Vi i jette. [Fur the Orangobiug Times.] Jamison, S. C. August 26th, 1878. Editor Gfutttyebitry 77/hes .' From near and afar the praise? of our noble Governor, all proclaim in words of cloqucuce and truth. It is a fact which no honest citizen can den}-, that no one is more outitle 1 to tho love of Carolinians t han our no ble and distinguished Governor. Washington in 177'?, won tho love of Americans by the conspicuous part betook in delivering America :rom British oppression, and Wade Hampton in 18G6. forever stumped his innig c in the hearts of Caroli uians by his courage and noble ol forts, which, in that nevor to be for gotten Centennial year, rai- I Uaro Ii na from ihn ashes ol hoi dis isolation | and placed her once again aside of her sister States, with a diadem upon her brow, and a sceptre in her band. The noblest of his achievements was rescuing our good old m< iher from Radical oppression. While we love end appreciate, our deliverers, let us not forget others who have *l-o ilis tinguished themselves as co laborers of our chieftain in crowning the Democratic party a grand success in this State. Has Wade Hampton appointed j roper men to lill the ya rious offices in the diilereut counties? 1 very just citizen can hut acknowl edge that in his many iippoiittniculs in Orangebnry County, he cxhibi ted fine judgment and sagacity. Have tlio many gentlemen holding o'licei under Hampton in our county per formed the duties of their different ?nn.-dtious laithfu.'ly and well t ) CJ.iro ^Via and rcflcctod ere lit on W.i lo Hampton? Every just and honest man must answer, "Well done, good au I faithful servant.'' Mr Editor, I believe that our Gov ernor can rcmombor his many ap pointmcnts with feelings of satisfac tiun and prido. No County can pro ducc a better record than Orangcburg 1 know that the oflicc of Trial Jus tiee has been and are yet occupied by worthy gentleman, whose past ca reer defies criticism. No one has reflected more credit in the discharge of the trying duties of that office than your Trial Justice. It is a general opinion that Wade Hampton again hit the nail on tin head, when ho ap pointed Major Watson O'Cain to fill the position; his motto has boon jus tice to nil, and he has indeed proven that be knows how to bo just, and Lo give to every man justice a ccord? ing to law. His many friends hope he will retain the oflice of Trial Jus tice. That distinguished statetuau Patrick Henry once exclaimed, "Give me liberty or give mo death." I wouid say Mr. Editor give mo Ma jor O'Cain again for our Trial Jus tice or give mcaltercgo. "With our distinguished Wade Hampton as our standard bearer, iiud gentlemen like Hon. 6. Dibble, Gen. Izlar, .Major Whalcy, Col. Do Trevillc and Major O'Cain, with othors I could mention and with the sound judgment of the justly p< lar Oi-ANOKituiUi Tinei to back tin Democrats, there can be no doubl o f achieving a grand victory in Orange burg County,a triumph which will deal the linai death blow to ttadi -al istu. ElWJAK. Caw-Caw Township, August 21, 1878. Mr. Editor; There was tptitc an intorcstinj meeting of a number ol the citizens of Caw Caw Township held near Caw C?w (.'reek on the 2 Ith of August 1878, for the purpose of organizing a military company. On motion, Jno. N. Hook was requested to take the chair, and Mr W. P. Ott was elected Secretary. Tim chairman called the meeting to order, and stated its object in a few brief remarks commending the spirit that prompted the movement. An invitation was then ex tended to all present who desired to become mom I era of the company, and fifty-five gentlemen promptly responded by reporting their names to the Secre tary for enrollment. Tho organiza tion of tho company was next preceded with by ordering an election for ollieors which resulted as follows : Capt. Henry Davis, Jr.; 1st Lieut., W F Ott; 2nd Lieut,, Jno.
