We propose in this issue to say a few words about the ticket noniinat vd on lust Wednesday by tin (.'ounty Democratic Convention. We have no doubt that most of the nominees .are well known to the voters of the ('ounty, but at the same time a brief reference to each may not bo inappro priate in the outset of the campaign. We will commence with the nomi nee for State Senator, Gen. das. F. Ixiar. Gen. I/.lar's popularity in the -County is unquestioned, lie has been the acknowledged leader of the Democratic party of Orangeburg for many years, and has always been noted for his conservatism and dis cretion. His nomination therefore at the head of our ticket is a guaran tee that the Democratic principle of equal rights to all classes and races will be inviolably maintained. To proceed next with our nominees for Representatives. Dr J. W. Summers is well known as a thorough and successful planter of Middle St. Matthews, and a gentleman of enlarged views, w ho will be heard from w hen (he time comes, knowing as he does the needs of our people. Dr. J. C. Ilolman of the Fork, is widely known all over the ('ounty. and has a host of admirers. Asa scientific agricultural writer, he has doncntiich good to his neighbors. Ul is a clear thinker, and is generally found on the right side on all ques tions. He will talk too whenever it is necessary. Augustus Find is a large planter of Lower St. Matthews controlling the richest plantations on the Sant.ee. Possessed of menus and intelligence, he will, douhtlesw, eariA" many votes for the ticket. Dr. 1J. II. Kuotts is a popular citi xen of the Fol k, and a young man of energy enterprise and hard practical sense inherited from a most worthy sire. lie is w ithal a ti ne and liberal Democrat,and a skilful fanner. Alexander brown, the colored nominee for Representative, is an honest, hard working and sensible man, and has shown that he is a free man indeed, and dares boldly to do right. He has been true to the Demo eratic party ever since his entrance into it and commands the respect of his race. Joseph F. Robinson, the nominee for Clerk of Court, is a farmer in the bull Swamp community. He was elected to this olllcc in 18715 over a number of very popular candidates, and held the ollico only a few months when he was ousted by the inlllixof Radicalism. He was again nominal eil by the Democrats for t he oilicc in 1870, but the whole ticket was then defeated, or counted out. lie is a one armed Confederate soldier, ami very popular. A. McQueen Sal ley, the nominee for Sliorilf, is a son of Dr. A. S, Salley, who is so universally beloved all over the Count}'. He is a young man of vim, pluck and remarkable fairness of character, and iscmicntly suited for the duties of the ofllce to which he is nominated. Henj. J'. Izlar, the nominee for Probate Judge, is well qualified l>y education, and by the general char ncteristics of heart ami mind, for the olliee for which he is nominated. Honest, fair, and well balanced, he will make a good judge, and a faith ful guardian of the interests of the helpless. Of the nominees for ('ounty Com missioners, ('. G. Dnntzlcr is a son of the gallant and lamented Col. O. M. Dant/.ler, w hose name will never he forgotten in Orangeburg County. Mr. Dnntzlcr is a planter near Lowis villc, and is a young man of educa tion and promise. dos. A. Panning is a representa tive fanner of the Upper Fork. Practical, energetic business-like, and familiar w ith the wants of the County, he will make a capital ('ounty (!oininissioucr. Marshall Jones is a colored man living near Caw-Caw Swamp. He is not untried in ollico. He has for many years held the positiou of School Trustee, and has discharged the dut ies of the olliee with ability, fairness and satisfaction to all. He has the sense to see the blind folly of the followers of the Radical ring masters, and the independence t<> think ami act tor himself. J. L. Heidtman, the nominee for Coroner, is wcli know n to our citi zens. He is already familiar with the duties of this olliee, and bong attentive to business, honest 61* pur pose, and courteous to all. h<- is the right man in the rigid place. Speaking generally, although no systematic effort seems to have been made to give the different sections their proportionate representation, each man voting for his preference regardless of sections, the ticket is pretty generally scattered throughout the (Ounty, which is certainly a source of congratulat ion. Again the ticket is conservative. There is not a man on it w ho will not give fair play and equal justice to all classes and races of our citizens. It speaks for the Democracy that the rights of all men will he protected. THOUGHTS FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE. It seems passing strange that the colored people can't see w hat is best for them. A majority of them still persist in hanging to w hat is called the''Republican party." And what is this so-called "Republican party?" It is nothing more nor less than a ring of a few cunning leaders in each ("ounty who are joined together for the purpose of getting tlie votes of the ignorant colored people to secure them in olliee. These few men run the whole machine, for if they could'nt run it. they would have the would leave the party immediately. They have no earthly use for it, ex cept so far as their own benelit is con cerned. They are a "mutual admir ation society ." They fall out some, times, but make up as soon as their mutual interest requires it. They control conventions just as they please, putting out every time the same old delegates and the same old ticket. The poor man who works in the corn Held is expected to do the voting, but not to have the ofliees. They are entitled to the bones, but iho big guns must have the meat. Rut y ou say you can't trust the Democratic parly. They won't give you your rights. Where is the truth iti this? The Democrats olfercd you an equal share in the olliees, if you would come in ami help in the work for good government, ami not only have I hey made the promise, but they have more than kepi ii. In response to their offer, a number of colored men came in. and so anxious were they to fulfil their promise, that they have, given more than the number of names enrolled entitled them to. They have given you Marshall Jones and Alexander brown, both hard working, able and honcsl colored men, and. if the ii u in hers of colored men enrolled had justified it, they would have given as many more. It is the wish of the Democrats to harmonize, and for the races to work together for the common good. They don't waul a man's politics to be de cided by the color of his skin. And what good do you get by op position lo tin- whites? Does it do you poor men in the corn fields any good if you i ringleaders (ill their pockets w il b money? Let the thing; turn out ns it may, the State government is going to be Democratic, and a Democratic Legis lature is going to make your laws, and Hugh S. Thompson will run your schools. Give up your stupidity and your power will he felt. As Col. Goch ran, the purest and ablest Republican in the Stute says, in Virginia ami in Georgia, where the Republican party is virtually dead, the Democrats are courting ami utilizing your votes to your own good. It is a blind ami prejudiced infatu ation with a silly idol, the so-called Republican party, hut nothing but a scllish, greed loving ring, which is perfecting your ruin. Hreak from it. and you will he freemen. It is folly for you to suppose* that ignorance can control this govern ment. It never has done it in any land, and it will never do it here. The only wise course is for you to help us to win our victory in order that you may share with us in its beuetits. lie wise before it is too late to repent. TUE SCHOOLS. Next week the teacher's work com mences again. Let us go to the Held of labor with renewed energy, carry ing with US a full and correct concep tion of the magnitude ami majes ty of our mission. There is no no bler calling than that of the teach er, ami if at times our lot seems a hard and ungrateful one, let us look for our reward in the consciousness of duty faithfully done. We will reap the harvest in due season, if we faint not. The trainingof the young heart and mind for the battle of life is a grave responsibility, and great will he the reward if we accomplish it well. As the sculptor brings forth purer white winged angels Trout the rough and unsightly stones in his laboratory, so we may mould noble spirits from the plastic minds en trusted to our workmanship, which may come up as stars in our crown of rejoicing. HEAD AM) H EM EM HE H. R. H. Elliott, the Chairman of the Republican party of the State, has been convicted of taking $2,000 fro^n the '?.Militia fund," under false pre tenses, for bis own political purposes in securing his election to Congress duly 2(Uh 1870. The Republican Chief Constable llubbat'd thus testi lies before the Investigating Com mittee: "/ time the nwH-y Jillt/'llith miif tlcliee.rcd it to Tt. Ii. Elliott the name ifiij/." And this is the rascal who is at the head of the so-called Republican party that the colored people are in vited to follow. 00 V. .1 ET EH. Yesterday fJov.

As in my remarks, at tlie recent Republican meeting, I made no re ference tu any desire in-intent of the Democratic party lo return the color ed people lo slavery, and did not mention Dr. Cooke, or the Clatlin University, I judge it would be only fair dealing lo correct y our report in these references. You also state that I am opposed to the State appropriations to the University. This is a great mistake, as no citizen of Orangeburg has a greater interest in the prosperity of Clnllin University than myself.?and no taxpayer in the State is more anxious to have the State pay its just debt to the State Agricultural Col lege, and all the appropriations made by the State for this purpose have met with my hearty approval.
