"Wc Pli?c^e Ourselves io Protect the Persons, rights ami Pioparty Of all tho People." Tii5s pledge was ingrafted upon the platform of 1S7C by the State Democratic Convculion and is repea ted in that of the prefcnt campaign, and with what faith it has bcou kept by t'nc Judicary department of tho government as well as the ICxecu tive, the News and Courioi prove- by a well timed editorial based upon in formation obtained direct from every Judgo save Judge Shaw, who was too ill to answer the injuries. Such shot thrown into the enemy's camp strikes with telling ef?ot, not only in confu ^fcyerihoranktuud file ui Radicalism Tg^rWnSBHBttWHBB^B' strai;WHi out Democracy, but sots every man to thinking who honestly entertains Republican views and yet desires a good government and the perfect equality of all our citizens before the law. "With such a plain statement of facts, can an holiest *man longer bait between tho panics, or with hold bis support from an administra tion which gives beyond successful contradiction the greatest protection to the persons, rights and property of our oitizons. Judgo Prcssley reports but a .?in gle criminal case perpetrated by a white man against a colored person. Judge Aldrich says, "where one outrage has 1? co committed by a white man ngainst a negro, ten out rugca of coloi u< I person:) upon whites c.u readily be enumerated," and where "negroes wore dofendents, the}- rejected every colored juror, perforring a rrhitoJury."

The improvcinculin the con dition oi* the State has been the sub ject of general remark." Judge Muckey says, "In n circuit of an area of 3,(iOQ square miles and it population ol' 100,000, not one n j grd has lost his life al the hands of a while man during the past nineteen months." "biricc the innugurnlion of Gov Hampton the proportion of crime to population, in the sixth cir cult, has been iar loss than in any New Kdgland ?itxU .

Fi unily crime is diminishing. We publish on our out-side to day the address of the Slate Demo cratic Committee, nnd trust (hat ev cry mulct will not only imbibe its spirit, but make every effort to in- j fluet'ec others that it may be the ? nie of the! :'.< lion also. In very nearly lv<\_, county there scorns to he some trouble, whether in Conveu - tion or Primary counties, and some thing iv absolutely necessary to keep up parly discipline If I he dissatis faction which exists in Primary counties is tu cnu.se a split, and if the objections which are urged against conventions are to create a division in those counties ]adopting that sys loin, then the cause of Democracy will fail end the stnto, with her citi fccus, their rights and property, will he again turned over into the hands of Radicals, who know hotter how to -leal than to govern, and will deal out justice to our citizens in propor tion to tlie number of dollars they pay for it* Wo take il that there are enough Radicals in every county, who, by uniting with the disaffected Demo crats, can elect their ticket, and pro diet that the* will do it, if this abno mal condition continue--. The few 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 bo merged into the R idical party or absorbed try it. .mis 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 -State. If such a thin}: be at all probable (and no one can doubt it) how unwise is it (or any portion of our party to allow petty differences to drive them to a course of conduct which will certain ly destroy Democratic! power and defeat the ends of good government in South Carolina. The mere fact of a man, I bus elected, being a Demo crat does not shield him from the approbrium which will inovitably at tach to such a course of conduct. The Democratic party previous to 1876werc in a hopeless minority, and the success of the last campaign was achieved only by bringing to bear all j^ur available influence upon the colored people. Continued success now can only be maintained by keep ing our ranks unbroken; and nu) in subordination on the part of our members at this crisis will prove fatal to tho cause of h oncst government. Any movement looking to a union with the .Radical pnrty will be about as wise us a man giving hi.s most hitter enemy a stick to break his own bond. We would rejoice to sec the day when any man, who felt so disposed, could put his name before the people for their suffrages, but this cannot be the case where two great parties, as antagonistic iu their aims as the J )em icrntie and Radical, are striving for the mastery. More especially is this true when the stronger has a re cord of accursed pcrjltiy, corruption and crime, and the weaker of events as nulde and honorable as ever made a people proud cd' their history. Surely, therefore, our people will not allow petty differences, founded upon personal hatred, prejudices or imaginary inconsistencies, to divide the party and thus aid our enemies to win the victory. For the Orangebiirg Times. Okangkhuug, S. C, August 2b'th 1878. Mi\ Ktlitor : 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 has possibly, but seldom heretofore, gladdened their hearts. Tho popular pastor on Providence circuit planne I a pic nic to please tho children, which came oil' very happily last week. Fight Sunday schools united harmoniously in it large mass-meet ing held at the hew Union camp ground in lower St. Matthews. Two of the schools were Baptist, and thus, again was verified the eloquent language of "Tho Strange Proaotier," 1 J?dah and Simeon with locked, shields, pressing the battle to the i*at cs. Fears were entertained regarding iito weather, and anxious eyes woro cult towards the heavetli, but tho sun rose with undimmcd lustre, ban ishing with a rosy blush the fleecy clouds that hung over tho portals of morning; and -sweet fancy's sun beams Hooded tho minds of bright eyed youth with radiant anticipations outlining with glowing tints tho do lightful visions, soon to pass in bri] Hunt panorama through the golden hours of the near future. ?At half-past nine, near one thous and pcrsoi.s wore in waiting, and a half hour later, a procession was formed, embracing about one third of the number present. Superintend ants and teachers led their respective schools, and seven little hearts doubtless expanded with justifiable pride as bcvcu pair of little hands each bore aloft a bountiful bannnr over the ranks moving to the inspir ing strains of "We are marching to tho 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 tho scene there presented, recalled the days when, a careless, happy child, I too, mingled in the ranks, and thought it the highest honor my childhood ever know, to bo permitted to bear tlio banner in front of classmates and friends. Considerable disappointment was felt by sonic 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 in those that were made. Master Avingcr delivered a saluta tory which was followed by recita tions from a number of children of tho different schools. Mr. Cuttiuo, a prominent minister of the Baptist Church, then set forth the importance and usefulness of the Sunday school, in a studied address, but tho limited t mo allotted to the speakers, preven ted as thorough a discussion as he was prepared to give of the subject. Mr. W. L. Glaze next made some very fine remarks in a pleasant and impressive manner, the creditable style in which he acquitted himself, rendorod rather superfluous his plea oi being totally unprepared, for the audionce was docply interested as lie enforced tho necessity of forming and sustaining na admirable individual character in life in order lo be suc cessful. He engaged the attention o f the children ids >, by an occasional "happy word'' to Ihcm, and cloicd with an appropriate poetical quota tion after fully convincing all present that .->o much had thoy to make them happy and cheerful, that if they di 1 not appreciate what was done for them, "Why, my sakes alive," what ought to bo done with them ? liev. J. B. Platt then closed with a short, though touching address, in which he illustrated the beautiful simile whereby the mind of a child is compared to a pure, unwritten page on which each mentor inscribes an epitaph that will be read before lb c assembled multitudes of tho universe, when the great book of life is opened for a final judgment. After a short intermission, tho procession was again formed and marched to tho tables, which were arranged in a circle, each seh ool having one ap propriated to its u?e, and more than eight sob ools were represented there. We will leave it to the imagination to picture the scene that ensued. Great praise is due the projectors and managers of tho pic nic, and nowhere were their skill and tasto hotter exhibited than in tho arrangement of the ample feast that crowned the hoard. Mr. Shingler, assisted by others, made a very efIi - eient marshal, and Dr. F. W. Danlz 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 oncboauti fill song ? 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 tho waning ligbt, the relaxation of mind from more intense effort and its gradual sinking into repose, or, is attributable to the effect of imagination, 1 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 scone was, 1 could not effectually banish these sobering reflection on looking over that large crowd and thinking how many limes I had B03n the vast assemblies under "the stand," that tnlismauio word to Methodists, at the sound ol' which memory calls hack /Very tender and sacred associations J of* the thrilling scenes of long ago, 'that came and went so fast. Though the necessity that caused its instil u tion, no longer exists, the camp-meet i ug is hound by too many lie.- to the hearts of the living, to die out of existence yet awhile, ami many a re looking forward to a renewal of fami liar days long past and gone, as the ground, at which the pic nic took place, is being built-up with the expectation of holding a meeting thi s fall, when, I trust, with equal pleas ure, we will all once more gather under the stand at Union. ViOETTE. [for theOrangubiug Times.] Jamison, S. C. August 20th, JN7S. Editor Crtitficbiirti Titncs : From near and afar the praise-; of our noble Governor, all proclaim in words of eloquence and truth. It is a fact which no honest citizen can deny, that no one is more entitled to the lovo of Carolinians than oar no ble and distinguished Govei nor. Washington in 177G, won the love of Americans by the conspicuous pail he took in delivering Amorica :rom British oppression, ami Wade Hampton in 18G6, forever stamped his imag e in the hearts of Caroli nians by his courage ami noli!,- ,?>! forts, which, in that nev- r to Im for gotten Centennial year, rai- 1 Caru linn from the ashes ol her did solation and placed her once again aside of her sister States, with a diadem upon her brow, and a sceptre iu her hand . The noblest of his achievements was rescuing our good old nu ther from Radical oppression. While we love and appreciate our deliverers let us not fbiget others who have also dis tinguished themselves as co laborers of our chieftain iu crowuing the Democratic party a grand success in this State, lias Wade Hamilton appointed j roper men to till the ya rious offices iu the different counties': Fvcryjustciiiy.cn can but acknowl edge that in his many appointments in Orangoburg County, he exhibited line judgment ami sagacity.

Every just and honest man must answer, "Well done, good an 1 faithful servant.'1 Mr Fditor, I believe that our Gov eruor can rcmomber his many np pointmcnts with feelings of satisfac tion and prido. ??'o County can pro ducc a belter record than Orangeburg 1 know that the office of Trial Jus tice has been ami are yet occupic 1 by worthy gentlemsn, whose past ca reer defies criticism. No one has reflected more credit in the discharge of the trying du lies of that oflicc than your Trial Justice. It is a general opinion that Wado Hampton again hit the nail on the 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 he knows how to be just, and to give to every man justice a ccord ing to law. His many friends hope he will retain the office of Trial Jus tice. That distinguished statciuau Putrick Henry once exclaimed, "Give u: i liberty or give me death." 1 would say Mr. Editor give me Ma jor O'Cain again for our Trial Jus tice or give menlterego. With our distinguished Wado Hampton as our standard bearer, ami gentlemen like Hon. ?. Dibble, Gcu.Izlar,.Major Whnlcy, Col. De Trcville ami Major ? I'Caiu, with others I could mention and with the sound judgment of the justly popu lar Or-AKUKitutUi Tine* to back the Democrats, there can he no doubt o f achieving a grand victory in Orange burg County, a, triumph which will deal the final death blow to Radical ism. ISlJOAK. . . ? i?? ? ? 4TaiM?i . Caw-Caw Tuwnsiiip, August 24, J.S7-S. Mr. Editor : There was quite an interesting meeting of a number of tho citizens of Caw Caw Township held near Caw Caw Creek on the 2 kb of August 1878, for the purpose of organizing a military company. On motion, Jno. Is'. Hook was requested to tako the chair, and Mr. W, F. Ott was elected Secretary. Tlie chairman called the meeting to order, ami stated its object in a few brief remarks commending the spirit that prompted the movement. An invitation wan then extended to all present who desired to become mom I era of tlie company, and fifty-five gentlemen promptly responded by reporting their names to the Secre tary lor enrollment. The organiza tion of the company was next preceded with by ordering an election for officers which rcsidted as follows : Capt. Henry Davis, Jr.; lfl Lieut., W F Ott; 2nd Lieut,, Jno. N Hook; 3rd Lieut., Loyd Myers; 1st Sorgt., I) \V Shuler; 2nd Sergt., A UZcigler; 3rd Sergt., D K Hcreloug; 4th Sergt., A 1' Ott; Oth Sergt., J W Shuler; l?t Corp., J i' Redman; 2nd Corp., J 11 Llcrelong; 3rd Corp., J I) Stack; ?Ith Corp., J M Kaigler. There is an encouraging prospect of obtaining quite a number of *o cessions to oui company by the time of next meeting, two weeks hence, as quite a number of our patriotic youoj men were unavoidably prevented from attending to day's meeting Caw Caw Light Infantry was adopted ?s the name of the company. A resolution, requesting the Score tary to send a copy of thesoproceed ings to the county papers for publica tion, was unanimously adopted Much concord, unanimity and harmony pre vailed, and the promise is that eiui to an efficient organization will bo main taiued in this section. >V, F.
