K;;cwlton & Lathrop, ATTORNEYS AND COb'NSKLLORS For the Orangcburg TIME*. Tilden and His Accusers. Mr, Editor: I have from time to time been im pressed, with the wisdom of your views on Mr. Tilden, and his relation to the Democratic nomination for Ptesidcnt in 1880; and I am frank to admit that to every student ol the p-ujt political history of this country, and to every close observer of the present bearing ami aspect of affairs, they must appear as sagacious and well-timed. It was only a few years back that Mr. Ti Idea's name was iu the mouth of nine-tenths of the Democrats of the South as the greatest reformer of the country. Without him the great Democratic party seemed helpless. By an almost universal agreement he was chosen as its standard-bearer. A gallant light was made under his leadership lor the Presidency. The icgi? of his name carried enthusiasm every where; and it led the Demo cracy to victory at ihc polls; but by the stupidity and the lack of courage , on the part of the Democratic House of Congress, he was not installed as ho should 'nave been, but had his triumph submitted to a juggling Commission, the majority of whose members had their-minds made up to seat Hayes before they took their oaths of office Tilden was not then, Riid should not now be held respon sible for that gigantic fraud. No one during the witlings of the Com mission pretended to say that it was the woi k of Tilden. Ou the contrary, it was regarded as the result of the combined w isdom of the Democratic t-i sutlers iu Congress. But as so in as it lulled to pel form tho task which anxious Democrats wished it to do iu spite of every thing, the men who con ceived the idea of originating it, began to hunt about lor excuses to shield themselves from blame or censure; and soon the onus of the whole jung ling affair was duly placed upon tlie broad shoulders ol t he sage of Gramar cy Purk. "He ought to have march ed to Washington anil taken the oath of office," these shnfllerssaid/'aad we would have backed him with our treasure and our blood." What transparent nonsense ! There is not a reader of your paper but would have damned him into eternal infamy if he had attempted any thing of the kind, and been unsuccessful ! With (?rant at the head of the nation, he and his followers Would have bee i shot down line dogs, and the South would have had tu undergo a now reconstruction; fur the Ida ?u of the wliolu affair would have been lai 1 upon the South by tho politicians of the North, ami instead of b sin ?in almost entire possession of tha jj ?vorn ? ment, as the Democratic party is to day, tho nation would have been re manded back into the hau Is of the worst element of Ivtdical politicians !, Under the circumstances, I believ.i that Tihleifs course was wise, patri it ic and subserved the best interests of tho South; and it comes with ill grace from her editors tobe continu ally damning him for what was best f?r their country. They have lavish ed uustii.ted praise upon Hayes, who stole I he Presidency, but they have, proved with fiendish glee upon the very vitals of the man who no doubt saved the nation from beiu^ drench ed a second t ime in blood. 1 do not say nominate Til don, but I d > say he sb old receive hotter treatment Irom n people he tried so I haul to rescue from GratitMut. li - sides, should he he rou unin.iic I, Radical orators and journals will take what is said agailtsi him now to light I us with in 1880. Don't you remcmbor I what an attractive volume was culled from Democratic new-papers bore in praise of t hamber'ain when Gover nor Hampton was making Iiis gnllont fi-ht for the redemption of the State in 1870? Let these same papers take care that they are not fillincr un ???.?i? ?tr for the us* of Radicals agaiust [For the Oroigcburg Times. "?rangeburg Now aud Then."' Mr. Editor: In common with the general reader , I have perused, with some degree of I interest, the historic sketches ef your highly esteemed correspondent who has favored us with * Orangeburg Now aud Then;" and think that he ought to receive sufficient encourage ment to induce him to continue these valuable papers. ?Such communica tions m e important, in as much as they bring up the sacred memories of the past, and teach us wholes>rae lessons for the luture. The story of the early settling of Orangeburg County is a page in the history of our State which, until a late day, had never been fully written; and this fact, doubtless, accounts for one wrong imprrbtion which our venerable friend has made on the public mind, and which I desire, in nil manner of humi'ity and kindness, to correct. He says: "Before 1776 there were Epi-cpalians, Presbyterians and Baptists. The Episcopalians had a church iu the town, and a chapel near Half-Way Creek in St. Mat thews, and ibe FVesbyicriuus bad two churches?one at Turkey Hill near the town, and the other on (.'attic's Creek." Now I do not question these ? tntements, b it simply controvert the impression made by them, to wit : That these churches, iu the order here presented, existed prior to any other in the town ami County, and none other bad an existence in history before thtin, or even as their co temporaries. Iu my judgment tho readir can only arrive at this conclu sion horn the statement above quoted. The facta are these: The early settlers of Orangeburg County and town were mostly German and Swis3 Lutherans who came hero during the year 1735, ami in 1787. Their first pastor, who organized them into a regular Lutheran congregation, tit the town >>f Oranyeburg in 17i>7, was Rev. John Ulrick Gissendanner. His fhilhlul labors ended in death during tho fall of 1738. The first establish ed church ofOrangebnrg was, there fore, a Lutheran church, which had an existence there about twelve (12) years before the Episcopal church. The second pastor was the nephew of j the first, beat ing the same name. He labored teu years as a Lutheran minister, preaching in the town, and at St. Matthews Lutbeian church, located in Amelia Towusbip, after which, in 1749, he went to London, received ordination at the hands of the Episcopal Bishop, Rev. Dr. Sheilock, the Bishop of London. His subsequent labors were as an Epis copal minister. Iu 1749, when the Otaugeburg Lutheran church bouse became changed into an Episcopal house of worship, there were 107 Lutheran members iu the town, and these "were served by Lutheran pas to is entirely, nuinbeting iu all about seventeen ministers." Time sped on, difficulties arose, war bad spread his dark mantle over these early settlers, and they are soon, in great measure, lost sight of; and, evontually, swal lowed up by other denominations. And this accounts for t he fact that the Lutheran element enters largely into all the denomination* now exist* ing iu the County, and oven in the State. There arc many other interesting incts which I should be pleased to furnish, bad I time nnd space in which to do so; but this hastily pre pared paper must be closed. I shall only add that, the fuels above given are substantiated by the Urlspcrger Reports, ami the manuscript records now on the si-elves of the Statehouse at Columbia; and that 1 have simply drawn the information above given from the valuable history of Dr. Bciolu-itn, to which tue reader is kindly referie 1.

U> pleas?; An Agricultural Cotloge We are of tha opinion that tha people of this State are, at this time, about as able to support (each and every one of them) a pbseton and six, as they arc an A gricultural College, at Columbia. Oi conrso there ero able mm to Uli all the posi' ions grow ing out of the establishment of such an Institution, ready and waiting, besides working for its success. There is no use for any such thing. Ex* perieuce has taught our planters that hard work and economy are the most essential points to be observed in till ing the soil, and wherever this is fol lowed, it beats scientific farming con ducted on a credit, at least 50 psr cent. The Stato would be proud to com pensate her worthy sons for all they have done in lifting ber from under tho iron heel, but she is too po >r; be* sides, the poorest citizen of the State is to-day even in th? sacrifiees mido for the accomplishment of this end *u? nuitai, ouiuoui tue naruest work having been performed by the poorest class. A shorter and plainer way would be as one of our exchan ges (ihr Abbeville "Medium") sug gests : To pa's a Pension Act. By tnis all thoae candidates for a living off of the Sfite, would be scooped in, and the State exempted from having the burden of a worthless institution ou her financial shoulders. Of two evils choose the least always?the tax payers would prefer the latter. What say our Columbia neighbors f?Barn well Scutenet. "And so do their SisUis ao4 tkttr Gousins tnd their Aunts."

Black, characterizes as "unmitigated nonsense" the con demnation of Tilden for not having seized the Presidency in 1877 and having had himself inaugurated at all hazard. The Baltimore "Sun" saya i that "the very men who talk in this I way would probably have been I among the fust to desert him and ! crv out against him had he been fool ish and selfish enough to attempt any such thing, Mr. Tilden planted him self upon the constitution then as he does now." When history comes to mal e up its verdict, it will he written that the DeM'tcratic /'orcy, and not Tilden, from motives of fear or a wise prudence?i lea?e the roider to judi$e which?al ter a terrific battle of glor ious victory, retired f-om the field aud left its fruits iu the bands of tho oueray.?&c? j Dr. J.
