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

Radical orators and journals will take

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

in 1870? Let these same papers take

"?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

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

non. Jere S. 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
