They Dome at Us. '"Wo sic oil lid uj on in the columns e,i lie Orangtburg Demoi-rnt of last Week to answer the following <pios lions, which wc cheerfully undertake to do, hoping that we may he able to satisfy all parties interested : "Why is it that the Ornnyrbury /Vines is so mild in its sayings ahout Mr.j George Bolivcr? 1 noticed in the last municipal election ho sejiued to have Leen a popular candidate on one side, but the '/'inns had but litllo t<> .-ay about it, whereas your paper < nme out in full blast and pave us all lllu desired particulars. Why was it that the Times didn't do likewise. Again. Why was it in the Bolivcr .Eyas scandal the Tom's was so mild irfit's comments." Now, in the first place, as to our being mild in our "sayings about Mr. George Bolivcr," as this is altogether a matter of opinion, and the tru th is ?11 wc want, we will simply repro duce'our ?'sayings" complained of, in order that the public may form ac ir rtet opinion. Wc need no other'an awcr on this point, and we arc satis fied Instand by the record. Wc did our best for the clcc tion of Mr. Mosel Oy1 and the entire Demo crntie ticket, following strictly the : line of policj adopted by tho Club, believing the election of Bolivcr would have been a calamity, and we utterly fail to sea upon what ground complaint is made. In the issue before the election, we spoke es follows: "This is the only opportunity wc will have of snying a word on this subject before the election which will taiie | place next Tuesday. I The only regularly nominated i ticket in the field is that put forward i I v ihn T)omoc'i'iits, ami beadetl by Iii n. J. W. Mosely. It is said, with what truth we don't know, that another ticket ii to be run under, the leadership of Geo. Boliver. But wc' can't see what eil'eci this con have URpu Democrats, unless it I e upon Eucli of them as coquetted with him ami hired to him hist year. ?Iy! Bolivcr is a Republican and has never been anything else. Therefore his miming, if he does, will make the lie lit a straight-out one; and bo who is not for us will beagainu us. There crttl be no mixing. Tho Democratic ticket was made up at a large meeting with great care, :si.d wiih a special eye to tho varied interests of the town. There can therefore be no objections to it, ?,nd, ifi iKct, We have never heard one. 'J he. i.-sue is more important than wc are apt to conceive. Tho influ* nice of success or defeat will extend beyond the limits of our town, and v.ill be (jolt in future elections. . Tho Democratic ticket should be voted us a whole, and wc hope no name v.ill be scratched upon it. Such :i cm;r e. would be an injury to us as a phu.y.i ? ?fA.cl us then rally to the polls on Tiiualay and niftkf adeleriuined ellbrt in the interest bl good government, und victory wil assuredly result." . Hero is what we said after the ejection on summing up the result: ? ''\\e said in our last, before the election, that this was a straightout issue; that Bolivcr was a Republican and Mose ley a Denn erat, ami we be lie** that this policy, decided upon &p the t lub, and niterated by us last Veek, saved us many votes, which Stiebt otherwise have been lost. We-aow claim that we have gain ad a straightout victory, ami the eolored people, helped us to do it. This fact will carry much weight in future elections. * It is not our intention or disposi tion tj boist. All we want is for on r < units at reconciliation and good government to be appreciated, an I we recoguizo this us an indication ti. it the ppiril id harmony between the races and all classes is in the use. udcucy." Now a.- It- flic "(hsired particulars,' that is, the correspondence about Bolivcr and tho tissue ballots, appear ing in'Tull blast" in tho "Democrat," and not in the Tim im, the explana tion we think is very clear. One of the proprietors of tho " Demo crat" happened to be on this Com ? mil Ice of correspondence, and there lore "the desired particulars''and the necessary papers wcic known to and BBS - ????-JL 'JPL-L_ 1 - " ' within llio reach i?f said paper, while the first inlimutiou tho Tim es had of the correspondence was its appear ance in the "Democrat Wo heard the rumor about the i tissue ballots, but to publish anything about them without being able to give an intelligent and truthful story we deemed inadvisable. We are satisfied, from the frien Uy relations of the members ol the Com mittce towards us, that there was no intention of discriminating against us, hut. the simple fact, that we were not informed before g dug to press, is the (rue and only reason that this correspondence did not appear in "full blast" in the Tim l;,} als >. We claim that the diftcjeuec of news ju this ease was not owing to any lack of zeal on our part, but to the po culiar good fortune wf our neighbor. In the second place, as to the Boll ver-Byas scandal, we commented as we thought best for the community We expressed gratification that justice was done, and all the offend* eis were properly dealt with, without respect to person. We mentioned no names because, we had no idea of helping the partici pants into notoriety. B diver, we believe, likes just such abuse and "full blast." The parading of his name in the public prints only helps bim with his party, aud strengthens him to do us mure harm Expose him, of course, every time the. public safely demands, but the less notoriety we givo him, the quicker he will, die a natural death. He is a dangerous mau, uot only ou account of the grip he has upon Ins own party, but, unfortunately, because there arc Democrats (?) who have held to him in the past, and ar?. still holding to him. This,above all else, gives himaliis pow er to injure us. So far as the Times is concerned, we are perfectly willing that ail our tiansactions should be known. There seems to be some confusion in the public mind in regard to this whole matter. The fact that last year the editor of the "Democrat" took wages from George Boliver for edit ing this pnper when the latter owned it, {sec Boliver's card Jau. 8th 1879,) makes it difficult for some people to understand that we are not doing the same. We wou?d like onr ninligreiA 11 be more discerning upon this point, as we have not yet arrived at that state of perfection that wc are willing that the lins of our neighbors should be added to our own. I Wc have purchased the Times from Boliver and we are the sole cont rollers of it. All desiring to read our title will find1 Ft recorded on pages 7 10. in book 16, in the Clerk's office. We have been careful enough to secure a clear deck finr the all important campaign of 1880, and Boliver can't touch us. We have never edited for a Radi cal and never will. We have never received a cent for our services from any other source than our subscribers iind advertisers. If their support is given, we live; if i'. is withdrawn, wo tail. Again, to insinuate that the Tl mks, because it was bought from George Boliver, would in any way shield him when he requires a blow, is as unjust as to suppose that the Orangeburg ''Democrat" would bo untrue to Democracy, because it happens to be mortgaged to Alonzo Webster. We have thus answered in good humor, tmd we hone satisfactorily all ihequeslions propounded to u s indulg ing in nothing outpidc of th plain facts. Our tin willingness to burden the public with mat ters of this nature, is all that has proven ted us from noticing the secret whisperings we have heaid before, and it is only that we are directly called upon, that wo do so now. Uur record is before ibe people of Oriuigehurg,and we are not afraid ol investigation of the most searching chaincter. Wo have nothing to cover, ami therefore wc court it. He who enn't stand in the full blaze of the light of truth deserve < to fall. - m ? -cjbb ? ffephtus on the Grant Movement A correspondent of the "News and Courier" recently interviewed Mr. Stephens in \\ nehing:on on the sub je? I of the mooted id* a of the South taking up Cruiit as a nominee for next President, and his answer was thut he hud "nothing to do with the making or uunuiking of candidates for Ike Presidency, but in my opin ion the South might go a great deal I farther and fare a great deal Avor.se." \ Little Aleck is aii oddity, and seems to he fond o'l Baying and doing odd things. He says that John Kel ly who caused the defeat of the Democratic Governor of New York, and the lender of tho corrupt Tam many organization, is one oi tue pur est uicn he ever know. Stephens love i'nr Grant is not of recent dale.. When lie was throttling lit erty in Louisiana with tho bayou ct, Aleck said ho w us right Now to say noth ing of the baseness of the Moop-to-conquer policy, its folly is apparent in the light of past events. i j j, In pursuance of a sickly senti mentality to appease the North, we nominated HoraceGiceley, tho father of Radicalism, and wha'j good did it do? It brought us Dj more North ern support, and broko tho back of Democracy for many years. And will it be any better with Grant ? Sacrificing principle never does any good. It wc arc too weak to conquer, bet ter let us make no nomination than stoop again. It disintegrates the I party. Wc don't believe in any mix ing of Democracy and Republican ism. I Hut we don't believe that wo are weak. The recent defeats do not discourage us. There will be a re action before 1880, and it will come in the right time. AH we have to do is, to be loiieervative and true to principle. We want uo more "new departures.'' A Good Han Goce. Rev. Dr. Lovick Pierre, a vener able Bishop of lite Methodist Church, died at Columbus Georgia in the 95th year of his age, and-the 7 5th of ins active Christian ministry. He was a# lovely character, shedding around him a Christian influence which was felt in his da}" and geuor a tion. A light has gona out in the world which will be sorely missed. May it rays long linger for tho guidance of erriug humanity,. 1 Disaster at Se*. Just before dayli glit^n Saturday morning last a torribloafpllision oc curred ofl'ilie Capos of the Delaware between the steamer Champion and the Lady Octavia, in which the for mer was sunk and 34 lives lost. The uufortuuate Champion, Capt. Lock wood, was bound for Charleston, which place she would have reached on the day of the disaster. Most of her crew were Charlcstoniaus and she had on l.'oard many citizens of Char leston who were lost, umcng them several ladies. Mrs. U A Andrews ami I her daughter Miss Mikell.both of j that city, went down with the ship. Capt. Lockwood went below and routed the ladies telling them that "the ship was sinking and that they must come out at once, never mind their clothes." But it seems thai they became panic-stricken and were lost. The spectacle la horrible to contemplate. Out of the 58 souls on board only '24 wen: saved. I The Lady Oetftvia was only slight ly damaged. The blow is very heavy upon Char leston. Disasters too do not seem to come alone. It wa* immediately followel by the sinking of the Falcon, bound from Baltimore to Charleston, Happily however in this case no lives were tost. Sheriff's Sales.
