FRIDAY, MAKCH 5, 1880."" . I Tlie Cotton Factory. tt is a runttcr of encouragement to sec tiint the people of OnmgcWrg have taken the initiatory steps in the matter of a cotton factory. A con siderable amount in money and cotton "\vas subscribed at the last meeting of - the Agricultural Society lor the pur pose, and the following Committee ?appointed to carry the enterprise ?out: Harpin Riggs, T II Zimmerman, W P Hadloy, James Stokes, W A Mackoj'., P*5- J C Hoi man, Hon. M J Keller, Judo Robinson, W W Culler ?and W T iMuller. Tt is likely that the next step will be the c.tiling of a Meeting of tho people *to consummate arrangements. At this meeting every citizen, outside of his own pecuniary interest, who cares 'for the welfare of Orangeburg, ought to be present. Wo especially expect the men who control the capital of Orangeburg to come out. It don't do to say that tho people oi 'Orangeburg are too poor. This is the way to make then*, rich. Besides, i'j the days of our "greatest poverty, during Radical ascendency, the peo ple of Oiangeburg had $30,000 depohited in the Savings Bank. Now it is evident that we arc worth three ?lmcs as much at this time. If we laid aside $80,0)0 tJieo, we can easily lay nsido ?250,000 now. How easy then will it be for us to invest $'25.000 in a cotton factory which is certain to pay from 20 to o0 ">er cent on the investment. VVpcxprct all to co-operate in this enterprise. There is no surer way of building up the South than by factories. As soon "as. they are scattered uver the . laud t|ie South will begin to blossom with prospeiity. T/his is tp> idle boast, but jlbjC (Cxpericuee^^f-jevofy ?country that lias added.up^uQicJixrcs to agriculture. , Kvcry cousjdeynlion* of interest and patriotism,-.should infuse life into this eiuorprUo. . A SHuiiil-cr an'tl a Wrong. "We heartily endorse the editorial of the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu tional ist in another column,*headed "A Mistake." We think the Demo-' cratio party made an egregious bltin ?der in being decoyed by Republi cans into killing Mr. Tilden. The ; greatest wrong ever perpetrated in a io-called freo government was the fraudulent seating of Mr. Hayes in' the Presidential choir, and had this wrong been kept before the people, and tho victim of it been upheld, the Republican putty would have receiv ed its severest blow. There would have been no better issue on which to enter into the coining campaign, with the same ticket, than the "tfreat fraud." It should have been the key noto of the campaign. We have foolishly burnt the bridge which car ricd us safely across the stream. Til den was the first Democrat elected President since James Buchanan, and yet wc have falsely abused him That he did not take his seat, was no fault of his, but of the Democratic Sena tors who consented to the iniquitous "Klectoral Com mission." - i?r - ? ? *mm? The Lynching. .Lynch law is always dangcrous.and when it is tro indiseriminatelyjupprov - ed may load to great wrongs. But there are crimes which seem to be t? o heinous to await the slow processes of the Courts, with the chances of escape through a false sense of pily, or through the technicalities at which lawyers leap. The gratification of brutal lust upon innocent victims conies under this class, ami as such tha action of the citizens of Georges Station in their summary dealing with the villain Kinder will not be con demned. The perpetrators of such deeds must \n taught that they can not commit them with safety< The National Democratic Conv&i-' tion meet* at Cincinnati in June. Can Bayard V/ln ? Wo feel iiu lies'tancy in saying that the speech made by Mr. Bayard dur ing tlin war in 1801, advocating peace, and expressing1 a'licliof ih tho practicability of two co-o.pjnl Con federacies living side by sido in per fect harmony, and favoringatr im-" mediate recognition of tho Soiijhl?*u5 Ckro fed ei acy pwi H vbe-fa ta 11 y d a m a ging ? to his availability as a PresjtJoatia^ candidate at the North, .Tj. will bo, remembered that in 18G4\ Gfcu-, Q^Qj^.M^I?Clellan wasjnit up as {ho peace 'candi^ate.iu opposition to Abraham, JLincoln, and although i the horrors of. a war, tho,resultsmfi which were yoL doubrfu', woro.griey ously oppresing tho masses, aud tho desire for. .peaco was strong and general, McClellan was badly beaten, Now that the.wnt; party has won, and tlicrj is no motive of self interest to influence, as in '64, is it likely that a candidate who favored the losing side, and who was willing that the Union sliould be dissolved, will carry a Northern ?State ? To look at the matter calmly and practically, in view of the sectional Spirit of the North which will never die out. and tho efforts which will he made by the bloody-shirt stalwarts to intensify this sectionalism for partisan purposes, we do not think that a can didate wire espoused this unpopular aud losing euuse, however great his honesty and ability, will be likely to draw votes from among a people who, despite their boasted enlightenment, exhibit far less libera'ity of senti mout and feeling than the conquered South. If Mr. Bayard is the Democratic candidate, Blaine and the rest of the stalwarts would w .tut no better text for the Northern ear than the little paragraph from Mr. Bayard's Dover speech : "Why then may not two American Confederacies exist side by side without conflict?" This will be construed as champiouiug the cause of tho Southern Confederacy, and the author will he put in the same cnte gory with Jefferson Davis. We honor Mr. Bayard, and would delight to see him above all others in the Presidential chair. We honor him for his honesty, his consistency and his independence. His Dover speech is entirely in harmony with his humanity aud his nobility of character. We endorse every word he utters in it, and we respect him the mote for his t inaqliness .m.brave? ly .-.landing, up vith a hopeless min ority, and cxtircsauvg his lyjuosfj cohd| ^?ij^lipue. But the practical qucsjibnn is, can Mr. Bayard b^eleeted Prcsi lh'lltii?iiimiM(JI .lllUW?^?i i 1 * H<? v*r??ftlftf M1?o?Wc*n..ot elect a Pre'^detft alone. Two or three Northern .States are .wanted. The man' who can curry these States is the man for the Democrats to nomi nate,, Woopw* m i /? We have ofteu said that tho South .weight try have .very little to do with Pre$iden.-making. Denvo this to the North and" it I will be better for us. Tho go*d ot the masses of the South is far more important to them than the elevation of favorites to office. The Democratic nominee should be as little hampered as possible with the idea of sectionalism, and in order that it may be destroyed, it would be best for the South to do little talking, but stalwart voting. Wc have very little choice as to the particular candidate for President. All we want is the success of the Democracy. A ikon f or CJovoriior. Wc see the name of D. Wyatt Aiken suggested in some of our ex changes for Governor, and wc must say that wc like th : nomination. We like it because he is a practical far mer and is identified with tho best interest of the people. Wo like it because he is a practical and onerget ic man. Whatever ha tin lert.i'tes he docs thoroughly. As Congress man he has been assiduous in his duties, devoting himself unreservedly aud untiringly to the iuiered,of his constituents, as his roe >rd sho n. II s record us a granger is also another evidence of his working character istics. His zeal in this cause knows no bounds. SVc liko him also bocau. o he thinks for himself aud docs not wait to lukc snuff until other people sueo'.e. He is a man of solidity and iutelligmco, and wo believe would make a Governor for the people. -? mm ? mm - ? W. P. Kellng is blackmailing Sen ator Hill for trying to unsent him. He has sued Mr. Hill for' seducing Jcssio Raymond, of Atlanta, iu 1877. The Two-third? Rule. Ever .since 1835 the rule has boon observed to make the vote of two thirds ol the delegates present in a Democratic Convention necessary for j the choice of a nominee ?jbjij.'resident. It is now proposed by the National I Democrat.io Executive Committee to [chphgo"tfiis)rtile'?d that a mSj6rlty dan nominate. ~ It ia urged that bv the twqBhirdi^bfcjM MgateiJfVfn get tired out, and thus from indilfer j^euftQ,.a.^g^^Ke^jortiiuary candi date runsiu. The small fry it is said depend on th.i?.,.We think however that the majority rule! ir. open to a greater danger. Under ita workings a hasty and precipitate nomination may,be made. ? , Weratlior prefer the time-honored custom. If it is more tiresome it is lees precipitate aud gives ample room for consultation and conciliation, if necessary. The idea that the majority rulo would give the South more pow er, and enable her to dictate the can didate, we think has little weight, because wo think that, even if the South had this power, shcought not to use it. Such dictation would give the enndidato a seetioual character, which would weaken him materially. The Hope ol the South. The hope of the South con-ists in the building up of its material inte rests. As long as wc devote our selves altogether to agriculture wc will be poor. We must combine manufacture with agriculture if wo wish to prosper. To make our cotton and then pay to the North all its proceeds for clothing and wares suicidal. We must put up our fac tories, and Railroads and immigrants will bo sure to follow. We have a better soil and a better climate than the North, and why are wo not as proapeions. It is becnuse nit our money goes there to buy manufac tured articles ? When wc realize this truth the South will onviunoj to grow aud get as rich atid prospcious as any section of the Union. The holiness meetiug-j, which have been going on lor some time in Char leston, came to an eud on Tuesday uight by the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Inskip for Savannah.*^t is said that they created qiiife'aii ?fterest in the city, reminding one of the Methodism of olden times. From the published report of one of the sermons in the Nc ?????? ami Q'turitr, it would fetm that Mr. Inskip .works rather upon the hearts than theminds'j of bis hearers und succeeds iu excit tng*ihe deepest feeling. Mrs. Inskip ] labors with her husband iu siuging, conversing 'nuiL cveu itiv lecturing;; Hundreds have professed conversion, and "we trust that permanent good has been done. I - "?? ?-? i ? Col. E. C. Stocktoti, a distinguish j ed officer who served before the war in the U. S. army, and r^signod r.o accept a position iu the C. S, army, committed suicide at Chicago on Tuesday by taking morphine. He left a note saying : "I die because I have got no home to go to," Poverty was the cause of the act. He was a South Carolinian. His wife is a cousin of H u. Jefferson Davis and a lady of high social position. Wouldn't it be a pretty mess offish if the Republicans were to nominate littlo Alex Stephens for Vice-Prcsi dent with Grant for President? And it is by no means impossible. They arc shrewd and mean enough to do it. A heady they are hurrahing for him in Congress, because Alex is a kind of unruly boy, und won't obey orders. The enormous advance iu the prico of printing paper has caused an effort to obtain a remedy from Congress. The publishers at Chicago have made a strong appeal for the removal of the heavy duty on printing paper. Ith a tax on education and its immediate removal is just and proper. The editorial in the News anil Courier on the "causes of crime in South Carolina, is excellent. The sentiments expressed ugainst in temperance aud the practice of out - ing concealed arms are hold an I high-toned. A fatal affray occurred near Wins boro' on Tuesday between two broth ers by the name of Young and a Mr. Win. Stephenson, in which the latter was killed.__ The political caldron is commenc ing to boil in Columbia.
