The muddle in Charleston.
In order that our readers may havo
ns lull an understanding ?s possible
of the political muddle in Charleston
in reference to the Mayoralty we will
give nil the information we havo as
gathered from both sides.
The Democracy of this city seems
to bo divided into two factions, the
Courtenay and Sale, led by tho i
respective candidates for the o.'Hco of |
Mayor.
The "News find Courier" seems to
favor Capt- Courtenay, and the
''Democrat/' a new paper, advocates
the claims of Mayor Sale.
The rupture occurred in this way : i
About a month back the old Kxocu- |
tive Committee of the part}'root for
the purpose ol inaugurating the
campaign, and the majority decided
to hold an election at which the
people should decide tho question as
to wl.i ther future nominations should
be by the "Primary" or the "Con
vention" system.
This the Courtenay party objected
to and characterized as a dodge of
the Sale party to allow Radicals a
voice in the nomination. They
therefore treated it as a conspiracy
and just Monday night hold ward
meetings to elect a new Executive
Committee, and reconstruct the parly.
Jn the mean time, in accordance
with tho order of the Executive Coin
inittcc,:lhe election was held and the
"Primary" system adopted. The
"News and Courier'' treats this elec
tion as a very iusignilicant a flair, only
a small portion of the Democracy
participating. On the other hand
the Democrat, the Sale orgau, repre
sents that tho patty turned out aa
strong ns on nay previous elocti ou,
three-fullrtlis of the votes being
_i \s.a?.-Ajut Mi cjuicu. lue
Sale men claim that the Courtenay*
iles are the bolters, ami dub them
the Broad street clique. Tho Sale
faction alio run on the old Wngenor
clement and claim that their op,> m
euts represent the wing of the Demo
cracy which bolted from Gen. Wa-je
ucr and elected the Republican G. I.
Cunningham Mayor.
On Monday night at the same time
that the Courtenay ward meetings
were in progress, a Sale mass meeting
was held in front of the City Hall,
and addresses were delivered by
Mayor Sale, Judge Thomas aud R. S.
Tharin.
We have thus giveu a fair state
ment of the situation from which
every body can form their own con
clusions.
"NVo don't think the prominence of
Radical speakers at the Sale ward
meetings tells well for this faction,
while the manly declaration of Mr.
Courtenay that ho will abide tho
Democratic decision, whatever it may
be, elevates him in the eyes of tho
Democracy of the Stale.
In the mean time while these
Democratic ospirints are dividing
the party, Cob Gayer, the Independ
ent candidate, is saying nothing, and
unless the others harmonize, he may
ride in on Republican vote-.
Can it be possible that we are to
witness such a disgrace to the party
icpresenting the intelligence aud
honesty of the community ?
We cannot believe it, but have
every confidence that reason will re
SUtnc its sway over tho passions of
nun, und all such petty dilferences
will be harmonized. Lot us never, in
.the blind adoration of men or faction
leaders, forget South Carolina.
The Ccuth and the Presidency.
Wc have always thought, ami wo
Mill think, that the Southern papers
sue foolish in having so much to s-ay
in reference to the choice of the
Democratic nominee for President.
All of this talk in the Southern news
papers ghes strength to the battle
cry of the "Solid South," which
Republican politicians are. so success
fully raising, ami also* gives color to
llm campaign argument that we are |
seeking to capture tho National
Government.
What is it to us who is President,
so he is ??. Democrat? All we want is
homo rule. Would it not bo better
liicu to leave this selection iu a
great measure to the Northern
Democracy, especially when our
influence aud action tend to the
weakening of our prospects of success?
If theso ideas of the "Solid South"
and the capture of the government
are strengthened by our folly, we
may loose e\?ry Northern 8tat?.
We can do solid voting without 10
much solid U.lk, aud it would be
better for us.
Jt would make no difference to the
South whether Tilden, Hancock,
Ewing, Bayard or Thurmau was
elected President.
It appears to us that the best can
didalc is the one who cat. carry the
most Northern votes, and wo don't
care much who be is, so he is a good
Democrat.
The Massachusetts Democratic
Convention assembled on the 7th in
B'Stou. Mr. Saltoust ill, the Chair
man, in bis introductory address, said
that "Bepublieuns may say what
they please about Democratic wrong
doing, but \ nothing could atoue
f r the hoisting of a President into
office against the clear majority of
300,000 of the people. He doibted
if history could show a more glaring
outrage."
Hon. John Quincy Adams was
nominated for Governor by acclama
tion.
For tho Urangcburg Times.
Indian Fields Camp Meeting.
Mr. Editcr :
A very iutercsting meeting has
just closed in Colleton at this well
known camp ground, which has more
than a local reputation. Fully one
hundred tents were occupied, and
must certainly have averaged above
twenty occupants to each on this
occasion. Visitors were in attend
ance from all the surrounding coun
ties, und' live or six newspapers, (four
dailies) were represented by their
different cor respondents.
The minister in charge Mr.
Kistler, was ably supported in
bis efforts by Messr3. Crciuburg,
Power, Tiller, Ilayaor, Fishburuo,
and others. '1 bo P. E., He v. T. E.
Wnnnamaker wn? nm-nt <?.? EVJrluy
anil Saturday, but the precarious
stale of bis health prevented his tak
ing an active part in the services.
Tho sermou on Saturday cveuiug
from the theme, "My spirit shall not
always .-trivc with you," was deeply
impressive, aud sustained tho reputa
tion acquired by Mr. Power for earn
est, eloquent oratory. Mr. Creuz
burg, also, on Sunday night, hold the
alteutiou of his audience enchained
by bis glowing delivery, alternately
saddening their thoughts with a pic
ture of the doomed and lonely soul,
aud elevating, their minds to the cou
tcuiplatioa of the sublimity of
divine truth.
Professor Jones of Columbia
delivered a very able and instructive
address on the importance of Christian
education, ou Saturday. Some one,
said that he condensed a three hours
address into just one and a half, and
then was merely able to touch upon
each point, without expatiating upon
or illustrating tho different topics.
During the meeting, the little town
ol Georges prescutedquite an auimated
appeaiance by the constant arrival
and departure of tho vehicles which
convey passengers to and fro be
tween the station aud thegrouuds.
It contains several very noat aud
pretty residences, and its inhabitants
would doubtless regret very much to
lose the pleasure and entertainment
derived every year from tho interest
and excitement created by their fa
mous camp meetings. Great perhaps,
would be the regrets of the annual
visitors, who enjoy so much their
kind hospitality.

[For the Orangeburg Timks.J
Church Dedication.
Mr. Va\Uw:
On last Sunday, it was my privi
lege and plcasuro to perform the
dedicatory service of a new Church
near Dehn Swamp in Orangeburg
County.
The house was dedicated under the
name of "Change Chapel of tub
Evangelical Lutheran Church."
It is a neat, substantial edifice, and
Stands there, Free ut' debt, ai a in ?u t
meet uf the liberality and self-denial
of tho good people of that com
munity.
The interior of '.bo Church?the
wall.-, the altar and the pulpit?were
beautifully end tasteluHy decorated
with evergreen garlands and How. rs.
In Jaet, the whole arrangement was
so peculiarly appropriate as to rellect
much credit Upon the young ladies
and gtntleinen who executed it.
The congregation tilled the Church
to its utmost capacity; aud a more
attentive aud orderly assembl age, I
have never witnessed in any County.
It is worthy of uote that young Mr.
Kreps deserves much credit for the
manner in which be has developed
tho musical talent of the young per
sous of that neighborhood. Th-j sing*
ing at the moruiug scrvico, at the
Sunday school celebration in the
afternoon, imd at the night scrvico
was all of the first-class.
There is nothing iu tins world that
more highly commends a community
to the favorable consideration of in
telligent and refined men aud women
than the tight of good Chunhcs and
school houses.
Therefore, may all tho back dis
tricts throughout our land follow the
example of the good people of Dean
Swamp, and build goo I houses of
worship.
Respectfully yours,
Al.ciia.
For the Orangcburg Tim kb,
Oats.
Mr. Editor:
1 promised to teach farmers, how
to make farming a success and also u
pleasure. In iv.y first, 1 showed that
by planting all our productive lands
in cottou. we would have work
from January to January, tedious and
perplexing work, too monotonous to
afford much pleasure. When will
our farmers learn Lo diversify their
crops, and be cured of the cotton
mania? We never can become in
dependent, jolly and prosperous,
until we are cured of the cotton
mania, aud learn to diversify oar
crops.
The oat crop is the most remunera
tive crop to the farmers of our Comi
ty, which was shown by figures i n
your paper a few weeks ago, by Major
Salley, Carrie endorses the Major's
figures, and asserts that he is a live
farmer. I advise our youug farmers,
to get a few dots from I'** ^r"j?*? o!j
iiiu cultivation of oats. Don't plant
quite as much as the Major, for we
think he has oats on the brain, as the
most of our funnels have cotton. A
good rotation of crops is, one-third
oats; one-third com; one third cottou.
We will write on tho advantage of
rotation before long.
"J. C H." of the "Democrat" it a
great advocate of oat planting. Our
opinion is identical witu his. In (act
we are congenial spirits, not likely to
ever have a tilt as friend Santee do
sires. "J. C. H." tbiuks the most of
our farmers are ignorant about oats.
They think it an uncertain crop, very
exhaustive, and of not much value as
feed. Cuitic don't think about it,
but knows it to be the most certain
crop to the farmer of Orangeburg
County, when properly planted and
fertilized, and the least exhaustive to
the land, when we avail ourselves of
the advantages of greon manuring
followed by a he ivy crop of peas. As
food for horses ami mules, it is con
sidered the best iu the world, and we
thinkjr tly.
CRITIC asserts, without fear of suc
cessful contradiction/ that the oat
crop is the most remunerative, tho
most certain, the least exhaustive (if
the above condition is complied with)
aud the best food crop for homes and
mules. If this is thus, which Critic
can prove by J. C. II.'s farm, why do
not our fanners plant oats? They
arc laboring under the delusion that
oats will poison the land. This pre
judice has been handed down to us
from our fore parents, and J. C. II.
will find it difficult to eradicate it.
Critic wishes to show to our present
farmers the mistake of our fathers.
They planted lands that were not well
adapted to corn or co tton, exhausted
obi fields without any fertilizers,
roughly scratched over, put in the
seed January or February;and when
the oats were harvested large herds of
cattle and llocks of fcheep were turned
in. Not u sprig of grass or weeds
was allowed to grow, and July and
August suns beamed on tho naked
laud. Hero is your exhaustion.
In my next I will prove by J. C.
II.'s farm that wo can improve our
laud rapidly by planting oats.

Obituary.
Jfxu$ Utkt the ?ting away.
Departed this life on the morning of
September 2?uh 1H79, Pauli hb Viola,
Daughter of W. P. and Leonora Branson,
aged eleven months and sixteen days.
No more will the face of little Pa.UI.IKE
be seen on earth to brighten the hopes of
thoso who loved her, for she hss been laid
away in the grave there to await the sum
mons at the last day.
Though her body is committed to the
cohl ground, ' Earth to earth, n?he? to
uslies, dust to dost," her soul is with Jesus
who said, "Sutler littlo children to como
unto me and forbid them not for of such i?
the Kingdom of Heaven."
While then we drop the tear of sorrow
mid bereavement, let us submit to the will
of Him who made us, being persuaded that
what He docth is [right, and that though
oar hearts bleed and almost break under,
the despensatiou, Jesu* can and will take
the sting away if we but a*k Him.
Weep not, therefore, dear friend*, as
those who have no hope, hut strive to meet
little P.IUUNE in Heaven where you will
be reunited never again to part.

There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's Mountain."
