Again the Democratic party has opened t he door of the party to the colored people, and invited them to come in and help to build up the country and heiter their own condi tion. The Executive Committee nn Saturday passed a resolution invit ing them to organi/Ce clubs immedi ately, to send delegates to the Con vention, and to take part in making Up the ticket in accordance with their number enrolled. What more could be done, and what could lie fairerV They will thus have the same rights in the Con vention, in proportion to their num bers, as the white Democrats. They \.ill thus have a voice in chosing our public servants, and in conduct ing the a Hairs of government. The County Convention will he held on the 23th of August, and by forming their clubs at once, and Sending delegates, they will he en titled to all the privileges of the ('on vention. Will they accept the protfer, or will they continue their sullen and fruitless oppositionV The Radical party cannot succeed. It is doomed to defeat. Ignorance and vice cannot control in this land of light. Continuance in this blind course of folly and prejudice oul\ deepens the nutogouism between the races, and prevents that harmony which is so essential to our prosperity as a people, The oiler is UoW made by which the colored people can have a hand in shaping their own destiny. If they refuse it. the consequences resi upon their own shoulders. The interests of white and black arc identical, and there is no reason why tliey cannot work together in harmony. THE SOLICITOKSHIP. On hexfc Tuesday, lite Democratic nomination for Solicitor will he made. The "News and Courier" says: "The hearty endorsement given by the County Con volition to Mr. W. Si. Julien Jervev. th* present Circuit Solicitor, we take it. virtually insures to him a rciiominntioii for that otiice, .as there is no other candidate in the Held from Charleston County, ami Charleston County will send more than four-lift hs of the delegates coin posing the Judicial Convention.*' Rut the Convention should retuembei t lint there i* a not her candidate in the field who should not he ignored, simply because he does not hail from ('bindest on. We refer to ?'ol. W. .1. DeTreville of Oraiigeburg, a lawyer of acknowledged ability, whose claims on this score are fully equal to i hose of Iii? opponent; and, other things being equal, we I hink the fact, that ( harleston has filled this odlee f-0 long, should turn the scales In favor of Col. DeTreville We ttuderslaud that the'Charleston dele gales are not pledged, so wc hope they will give the matter a fair con sideration, aud not be inlliionccd by the locality of the candidate. A NEW I'NTKltL'ltlSE. It was our pleasure on Wednesday, through the courtesy of a friend who furnished t he conveyam e, to visit t he rice crop of Mr. ('. J. Stroinan on Denn Swamp. This crop is eullivat el entirely by water, which is a new departure in agriculture in this sec tion, being, from all accounts, the tb'st attempt o!' the kind made in Orangeburg (.'ounty, and promises, if successful, which seems now beyond cavil, to work a revolution in this [ line, at least, of agriculture. It is, J for this reason, a matter of public interest, aud we have therefore visit od t he fields for I he purpose of giving the rea ler- of the TiMi-:s some ac count of what is going on in their midst, and encouraging the spirit of enterprise among our fa run rs. The rice fields we speak of are sit u a ted" on the west side of Dean Swamp, extending- from the public road, about :i mile in length along I lie side of the creek, and averaging in width alum I :;imi yards. \\ e me told I hat the land, before it was reclaimed, would produce nothing- Mr. Stro inau saw no reason why rice could not lie cultivated here i:i the same way as on our coast lauds. Iiis ideas were thought by some to be vision:t ry, hut he determined to make the ex peri incut. Last year, or year before last, he constructed the dams und docks, und planted about one third of the area now under cultivation: and the , result was a complete success. Un coil raged by thi<. he increased the area, until he now has about lot) acres in a splendid state of cultiva tion, und at a comparatively small cost for working and attention. The original and entire cost of the ilains. Hood gates, docks Are. amounts to i?loOt)., which of course goes un der the head of permanent improve ments. The crop now in the Held is good, upon the lowest calculation, for 15000 bushels of rice, which tit $1,2.*) per bushel will bring $7."><>o.. IK .luct the cost of working, ?!???'>. and one fifth of the cost of permanent improve incuts $300, making total expenses $S00, and there is !. !*: a (dear gain of $0700, or nearly $ ifi, per acre This scents to us to be more than can he made per acre on any other crop, and when it is considered how many thousands of acre? of land along our creeks an I river bottoms can he th'i utilized, we see the im port a nee of t lie i iepa rt uro. Mr. Slronian gets the water to cultiv ate his crop from his mill pond on Dean Swamp, which is i<-d by a main canal, along the higher part of the rice Held. From this tuain canal, and dam, perpendicular dams are made across lo the dam on the creek, the whole ground being thus cul up into small squares of different eleva tions which are all watered from the main canal without any trouble, and the rice kept in water to any depth that may hei'eurod. The wal r is changed or let oil'st any time by means of waste gates lit the creek. The system is simple and perfect, and the cultivation easier und less expensive than other crops. Mr Stroman deserves a great deal of credit for his enterprise and pluck, and we hope that his experiment may result in much good to our county, lie iia^ also prepared 20t) her? s in an other place :tl a considerable outlay, which he expects to plan) another year. Tlteonlv question i->. whether the extensive cult i vat ion of I his a i t i (de on the pai l of our farmers will af feet to any extent the health of the country. Itciudvc this object ion and we see no obstacle to the success of the new departure, und the result therefrom, of increased wealth to this locality. Ol'II hTYLKS. We hope our representatives in ('oiigross will push the matter 'of up pro-print ion furl he survey and im I proveinenl of our rivers, dreht ben ' e il- can he brought to us by the ex penditure of n little money upon our rivers, and while the money is going for ot her states und other objects less worthy, let bijr representatives look to t he material iliierest ? of our see I lion. The Kdisto and Santee liivcrs (?specialis can be gn a I ly hciiclitcd hv 1 the improvement of their navigation! capacities. And, in this work, Char lesion should also feel U deep inter est. The limber along the Kdisto,! and tlic cotton along the Santcc arc wailing lor easy transportation to market. In nothing can our Con gressmen more directly benefit their constituency than by pressing and increasing the appropriation for these objects. Let thrm do their duly. Tili: RADICAL CORPSE. An attempt was made at Blnck ville to resuscitate the corpse of Radicalism on Tuesday. The speakers were the old hacks, Whip per, Smalls, Brayton, Tall and Col lins. In point ol* numbers and cntlisiasm the meeting was a failure. Thcspcechs, be it said to their credit, weif of a milder tone than usual. The whites made no interference in the meet i ng w ha I ever, ami free speech was the order of the day. A big dinner was expected, but tin* poor fellows, many* of whom had walked twenty miles, had to go home and fall back on Democratic rations. THE PRIMARY SYSTEM. The "News and Courier" of last Monday iu discussing the merits and deinercts of the "primary" and "Con vention" systems of nominations says: "There is nint h to he said on hoth sides of t bis question, but, if properly conducted, under Wise restrictions, the primaries seem lo us to lie the fairest way of ascertaining the popu lar will ami contributing to the real st i rag I h of the party and the security and w olfnre of t be State." Tin1 subject was considered in Oraiigohtirg sOme years ago. and whether the decision was reached upon the merits of the quest ion, or upon t he popularity of the advocates on one side or the other, or not, the "primary system" was rejected by the people, and the "Convention" seems to be mil hxOd mooe ol noiniiial ion.
