Editor Orangrburg Times :
I wish to mention seine few things
thai look like .supporting your ene
mies and starving out your friotuls. I
do not want it understood that I am
an enemy to the colored race. Far
from it. J lie fields are open to them,
and 'there I envy them not, but I am
one of many who think the white
mechanics should have the preference
of your work. I know, anil so do you,
that the negro mechanic cannot exe
cute n job in as good a workman-like
manner as a white mechanic, and
whenever you givo them a job you
nro furnishing them the means to
electioneer against yourselves politi ?
cally. We all contend that an honest
government brings pence, prosperity
and capital to our State, if so, did not
the white mechanics assist in bringing
all this gooil about? You can but say
yrs. Thou it is but right for them to
expect to help reap the benefits I
hope with this to sei your minds
thinking whether or not you have
committed an error by employing
them as machttnies. Ask yourselves
in case of an insurrection or any other
serious trouble would you not oxpoct
the white mechanics to step forward
ami assist in protecting your families
and properly.' Yes, )oll would, if it
took their blood. If you are tboir
friends let your acts be accordingly,
and as God has blessed the work of
your hands ho holds you equally
responsible how you use it- The
white mechanics arc your equals, as
beings, and should ever have your
best wishes or your work, at any rate.
You will say you can go* the negro
mechanics for less money; but for
God's sake don't do what you have
already condemned in the Yankee
carpet-bagger and scalawag?saying
they look the advantage of the poor
negro's ignorance. You do tho same
and worse, when they are paid half
price for their work. I have had
several persons to excuse themselves
after giving a job of work to a negro
mechanic by saying the negro owed
them, and it was the only way they
could get it. But that is too thin to
go down. Tho white mechanics ought
to owe them too. I see in nearly
every paper calls for immigrants to
come South, such as mechanics,
laboring men and capitalists; now if
you will give your work to your own
native born mechanics thpn no doubt
foreigners will sec there is a living
South for them.

Mr. Editor:
I read with much interest your
interview with Kev. J. B. llartwel 1
on the Chinese, as well as the inter
view of a New York Reporter wich
Senator Butler. Senator Butler's
views stiike us as axactly right on
many points, but especially upon the
negro exodus. I say, too, if they
want to go, let them go. I belicvo
with Butler, if thousands of them
would scatter among their Northern
brethren who pro less tolove them so,
that it would be X 'dlL. <W|B?EiJB|
whole country. It would certainly be
more convenient for thctn to take
them up there near them than tosend
Webster down here to look after
them. Take them North, wc say. by
all means, if they want to go. The
superior culture and humanity of the
North might elevate them. An
interchange of population as Senator
Butler says, would be the best thing
for the country. It would harmon
ize and settle all our difficulties.

Editor OraiHjcbitrg Times:
Your criticisms on the letter of
Webster the elder in this weeks
paper as wed as up )H the testimony
i of bis son about two months ago be
fore the Toller Committee aro noticed,
and such uuswers to the efforts of
enemies to injure our community are
highly appreciated. The people
have no other mouth-piece but tho
press, and they depend upon it R3
their look and defense.
The Democrat was silent ill both of
j these exposures of the Wcbters, in
one of which tho "News and Courier"
[ also aided you. This we trust was
only an ovorslght and that this
silence will not continue.
These assaults upon tho character
of our people must be met every time;
and the most effective way to meet
them is not by billingsgate, but by
clear and pointed argument and proof
just as you have used this week.
Homespun.
Senator Hampton's Speed? In the
Senate.
lie suid he could not claim to
speak as a 'leader of his party nor
would he try to shir-ld himself from
the consequences of his actions, be
hind any party. If the policy sup
ported by him was revolutionary and
treasonable, he was a revolutionist
aud a traitor. But what policy is be
fore Congress worthy of such a
charge? "By no vote of mine will
the appropriations necessary for the
efficient maintenance of the army bo
refused. It is competent for Con
gress to declare under what limita
tions aud conditions the appropria
tions shall be made. The form in
which tIiis is done I regard as immate
rial. In my judgment it would have
been best to adhere to the general
form, but to secure unanimity I shall
acquiesce in the decisions of the ma
jority. But, in no event c.i? X con
sent to aid in disbanding che army or
impairing its eificieucy. It is the
army of the South as well as of tho
North. It is the army of the whole
country. In its history from the
days of the Revolution I have some
reason by right of my birth and blood
to be proud. In the late civil contest,
on many a bloody field I tested its
valor aud no word or act of tniuo
shall depreciate, its value or lessen it-t
usefulness. But because I so regard
it, no act of mine shall tend to de
de iL- I ?"^?-u. ??> . 'imiwjflfcljfl^
that against its own honorable in
stincts and traditions, it shall be the
instrument of tyranny in the hands of
any factious party or any unscrupu
lous Executive who may desire it.
Nor shall 11 assist, because of any
diflereuce of opinion between tlu
minority and majority, to close the
courts of justice or embarrass the life
of the Government. Tho Constitu
tion has provided rneana by which an
appeal to the country can be had, an I
it is for the people t> decide whether
tho Presidential veto has been wisely
used to defeat the will of Congress
which represents the majority of the
people. It was not the immediate
action of tho army that ho feared,
but the ultimate effect of its misuse
and he would oppuse any legislation,
giving the general Government tho
power to iuterferc in any way with
elections. Better have turbulence in
one or two grt at cities than military
despotism in tho whole country. It
has been complaiued that Confeder
ate oflicers were sent here as legisla
tors. Nearly every man in thoSmth
bore arms, und she could hardly bo
blamed for trusting bor iuterests in
peace to those who risked their lives
and fortunes for her war. He thought
if the North had honored in Iiko man
ner, those who fought her battles, tho
legislation of the country would not
be embittered by a revival of section
al strifes. If tho North was sincere ?
I in inviting the Southern .States to re
turn to tho Union, she should bo glad
they sent their best and most honore 1
men to represent them. Tho South
had no apology to make for the past;
and to recall that past now is not in
tho interest of that harmony for
which the whole country lo.jgs. The
South asks to have strickon from tho
statute books thoso laws whicharo
the product of distrust as much as
were the armies and navies. If you
asked us to come back as S'ates, treat
us as States; join hands with us to
establish National liberty a* under
stood by our fathers."
