Kings and monopolies are the blighting frosts ol' freedom and pros perity. Capital legitimately used is a blessing to the masses, but when capitalists band together, and not only construct monopolies, but actu ally control the legislation of tho land, as il has been in the United Stales since the advent of Republi ifltiunt, the people may well tremble for their liberties. The monster rings of Northern centres sweep everything in their rrgal train, and none dare oppose in their overawing presence. Nor is this all. Their evil is not confined to their own bounds, but perineales every section of our 1-iud. Small rings spring up in the little to wus and hamlets and unpretending com munities everywhere under their all pervading influence and backing. ? pace forbids us from touching urcn the terrible effects of rings und monopolies in degrading public vir tue, and their grinding, cruelty to the poor. This would constitute a theme in itself. But their n ost apparent effect to tho public mind is the unsettling of labor, and the deleterious influence upon the industry of the country Their effect is to create discontent with one's lot, and a general desire ! to n.ake money without labor. Men therefore rush lrom the fields and flock to the tow us and cities to make their fortunes without work. Specu lation then becomes rife, tho fields arc comparatively abandoned, and the aggregate production, and of couree prosperity of the country is materially diminished. Statistics ! fchow that the proportion of the non producing inhabitants of our towns niul cities to the producers in the fields is out of all reason. Uhis state of things is ow ing to the unsettled feeling nnd spirit of over specu'ation generated with the Repub lican ascendency. 'J he apparent mer cantile prosperity of the land has all becu a delusion. Like a bubble, it glitters for n while, hut is eure to burst, in fact, we witness the bursting now as things are settling upon their true basis. Most of our troubles are the result of rings and monopolies and nothing is harder to break, especially w hen they have a political welding, which is almost always the case. Political rings are so adroitly con cealed from the people that they are made to believe that they arc their benefactors. Few daro oppose or attempt to expose them, because the cunning wire pullers will find it very easy to fasten upon any such the motive of self interest, and thus kill off their influence. There is but one hope for the country, nnd that is for the yeomanry, the fanners, ' the bone and sinew" of the land to rise in their might and throw off the yoke which money kirgs nnd political tricksters arc almost imperceptibly but surely weltling around their necks. If the jecmaniy of the country quietly sleep on their rights and givo up the reins which they should hold to monopolists, wo confess that the future of our country is by no means bright. Let them arise and assert their rights as freemen,, realizing that "eternal vigilauco is tho price of liberty." The Situation. Most of the papers of the State nnd country have been urging the Demo crats in Congress with much ve hemence to relusc the appropriations and have their way, and now that sober reflection is returning to our representatives, and their .advice is in prot-pect of being disregarded, they don't like it, and have a gi at deal to tay about more "backbone" nnd no ' backdown." Now, if they say that some of ovir Representatives in < v?>.r.-.??-- .n.i wrong i o deceive the i ustiug us to what tided to do, we agree with ; ousting never djas any good, I and is ellensivo to men who quietly do what they propose. A man that boasts is like pouring water out of a bottle, the loss it has in it ths mo re noise it makes. But if these papers want the Democrats in Congress to refuse appropriations and rush into a dilemma which may lose them every Northern ?Stato in 1880, simply bo cause an opposite course may be construed as a "backdown," wc con less that we have little taste for ouch u liixu- y. We claim that the Demo crats are guilty of no backdown, but ore doing their whole duty, Wc claim also that y/ith nil their blunder ing they arc in a better condition to day before the country than they have ever been. They have fought nobly for Constitutional government and have done all they can to remove bayonet rule, except stopping the wheels of government, which the Republicans arc so anxious now for them to do. If they do this they will step just where their enemies want them, which would be the height of folly. They have drawn the lines sharply, and have forced the Repub licans before the country as the party of the bayoiu t, while they stand the acknowledged champions of the Con stitution. To go before the country now would be victory; to blunder would be defeat. The responsibility for bayonet rule in (brown just where it belongs, on the Republican party. The question in 1880 will be the boyonct or the Constitution, and iii view of the enormous and r apidly increasing following of the Demo cratic party at the North, and the growing sentiment there in favor of civil against military rule, no better issue could be presented. Ret us be wise, and not permit pride ] of opinion to engulf us into the hor-! rors of Giantism. A Railroad Squabble. A suit has been brought against the Greenville ami Columbia Rail Road by certain non-resident bond holders who set furth the charter and different legislative acts authorizing and relating to the different mortgage debts, and claim priority over other creditors. '1 he defcudantt answer by denial.-, a plea to the jurisdiction of the Court and a demurrer for want of parties, the State being a necessary party and not being made oue. The plain till's 'ire represented by Messrs. Mitchell & .Smith, Mr. W. II. Brawlcy, Col. Edward McCrady Jr., and Ex Gov. D. H.Chamberlain. The defendant's by Ex Judge Magrnth, Ex-,Judge Melton, Capt \V. E. Karle, and J. N. Nathan Esq. The argument has commenced and it promises to be a big tight. Congress. Ihcie is nothing of special interest to our people now going on in this body. The silver Bill is under dis cussion. The Judiciary Committee has under consideration the submis sion of a re port setting forth an ap peal from the President to the people. The Democrats also propose t, issue an address to the people thor oughly ex] lnining thesituation which would be an excellent campaign document. It is now clearly foreshadowed that the President will send in a third veto on the Supervisers and U. 8. Marshall bill. For the Orangeburg Times. Mr. Editor: Allow mo through your columns to direct public opinion to a subject which 1 esteem a matter of grave im portance. I reler to the subject of wearing mourning. Unless we consider the universality of death we nie not apt to realize the expense that this foolish custom en tails upon mankind. No matter how poor a man may be, when the grim messenger knocks at ono door, im perious custom nips at tho other and adds expense, and often debt to uflliction. No matter what the cir cumstances may be the edict goes forth, and a change of apparel must take placo at any cost. \YTe cannot measure the evil and distress that this custom brings upon the world by consuleiing a lew individual cases But when we consider that mankind are continually dying, and that every clay millions are passing away, and that therefore tens of millions of dol lars are every day wasted and thrown away by this custom which could otherwise he employed in producing food for the starving millions, wc may form somo idea of tho cruelty of wearing mourning. Aud what is the advantage of these external decorations? Do wc love our departed friends or relatives more, because we are adorned in tho costly habiliments of mourning? Or do wc love them the less, because wo arc not thus adorned ? Docs genuino lovo need such re minders of grief ? Men are too much the slaves'of fashion. They travel in ruts and seldom think for themselves, If public opinion would turn against this useless and expulsive custom, a vast share of the sufferings of humanity from hard times would be removed.
