The greatest political power known in a republican government is the ballot box, and the grandest preroga tive of the citizen is to exercise that power judiciously, understand! ngly and to the best interest of the com munity in which he happens to live. This is the birth-right of a freeman and ought not to be bartered away for a mess of pottage merely. Its exercise should not be controlled by prejudices or personal favoritiems, but by a high sense of honor and a just appreciation of the great princi ples involved, because the happiness and prosperity of the people, togeth er with the pcrmanancy of our pecu liar kind of government, aro based upon the bucccbs of its underlying principles'. In the hands of thc^cQ. pie xestR the weal or woe optue coun * 'tFy"Th'e firmness or weakness of the government, the purity or viciousness of the times and the success or fail ure of the citizen; therefore, the slake is too great for one to trille with so potent a principle of good or evil as lhat of the ballot. If there bo a single duty to he honestly par formed it is that of casting our vote for the bed interest of the people a', large. This cannot be doue by sup porting men who become candidates to gratify a personal ambition, a greed for ollicc, or a desire for public notoriety or a wish to oppose some individual citizen on account of a private pique. Such motives do not spring from principle, but arc often the prompting of vice and intended to overthrow principle?good men play no such role. This is the great overshadowing evil with which we have to deal at present, and, to over come it successfully, demands thai every citizen who controls a ballot should cast it in the support of an honest government to bo administer ed in the interest of the whole peo ple. Such a government our town requires and it becomes the duty of every citizen to soo to it that, the reg ular ticket wbicb reprceonts not only the principles of the government as taught by the Democratic party, but every interest of the comrnuuilj', be elected.. So powerful an opposition to good government as that interpos ed by Radicalism can only be de feated by concentration of effort, by a strict adherence to cnrdinal princi ples and by a stubborn determination on the part of the people to support nu honest ticket put in the field by tlic Dcmociatic party. Independent jsm will fail, because it splits the ..(force of good citizens in the face of an organized opposition ; individual .elfu'rt will not do, because it is futile hi contact with a superior force ; nor .will a combination of factions effect the desired end, because there js no identity of interest between thorn nave for the lime being; hence suc cess can only be hoped for by work ing together in harmony nu a great organized party founded upon great t ordinal principles to which every vo ter may subscribe. The past experi ence of Orangeburg County admon ishes her citizens that they have had enough of Radicalism und that Uicy must have no more of it, whether it .comes under the auspices and fostered .by the Radical party or presented in tho person of one of its recognized loaders. Ruin und uttor prostration of every interest are written upon the luce of any such movement and our people should align it us they would poison itself. Charleston Trade. The South Carolina Railroad with its characteristic spirit of enterprise has arranged a cheap excursion to Charleston for the benefit of her mcr chants as sellers and those of the up country as buyers. Before the wai there was a large jobbing business done by the wholesale merchants of our chief city with towns of the inte rior, not ouly of this but other South ern Stales, besides the retail business was extensive with planters through oat the country who visited Charles ton at least once or twice a year for tho purpoee of purchasing their sup plies. Since the war, however, trade has taken new channels, and country merchants go to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore to buy their goods, and farmers their supplies from country towns leaving Charles ton and other Southern seaports with a meagre local trade. Why these new channels were en tered and why the trade of the rural districts is confined to county towns aro matters of the past and it hoots hut little to call them up ngaln ; the more important question is how can Charleston regain the loBt .?round and place herself in a position to com mand the business which properly belongs to her merchants. It is not enough for the Railroad to arrange excursions even at the cheapest rates, but their freight rates must be reduced and there should be no discrimination in favor of cities at the termini, at the expense of interior towns and wny stations ; nor is it enough for Charleston to invite country mer chants to visit her places of business, her merchants must oiler special in ducements sufficiently advantageous to buyers to divert the trade from present channels to the old one. Buyers must be made to understand that it will pay them better in money to purchase their goods in Charleston than in New York or any where else. A margin for profits must be given in excess of that offered by the sellers of Northern markets before the de sired end need bo hoped for. Wc have often heard our farmcrs^ga,^ they can buy dryj^??uTaiKfgroceries cheaper .?H-'Orangoburg than in .JifeftTieston. This is due directly to tho want of enterprise in Charleston merchants and to the Yankee foro sight of Northern merchants which makes thetu oiler the Orangcburg buyer special conditions, by way of holding the trade, which enables the latter to compete successfully with the retail dealers of Charleston. These special conditions of the North must be overcome by other and more advantageous conditions of Charles ton before the already established trade can bo broken up. We hope the Charleston merchants understand the position and will be equal to the emergency. The trade ought to be hers, Tho Ohio Campaign. Every section of the country is watching intensely the progress of the Ohio campaign because il will be somewhat an index to the result of the great national campaign of 1880. So much importance is attached to this state election until all the politi cal lcaders.of the Republican party, as well as a few from the Democratic ranks, have determined to throw tho weight of their influence for the suc cess of the party to which they re spectively belong. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Schurz bavo both contributed thoir mite to aid in tho election of Mr. Foster, tho Republican candidate for Governor, who, i3 himself strain ing evary nerve to bring the mailer to a successful issue for his party. Gen. Ewing, the Democratic candi date, seems to be confident of his election and says that the people throughout the Stale are enthusias tic and working, lie believes the entire Greenback vote will be polled for him, which makes, if true, his election certain. So vital is this election to the success of tho two parties a year henco and so earnest are the efforts put forth by both sides that it is impossible at this distance to determine what will be the result. Tho race will certainly be a oIobc one, but if any man can lead the Ohio Democracy to victory, Gen. Ewing will. His burning words and gallant conduct are certainly winning his fellow-citizens over by scores and hundreds* and before the day of elec tion shall have arrived we sincerely trust every embarrassment will be removed and the way will he clear for an easy Democratic victory. Will It Ever Be? The Republican parly have arrived at that stage ill politics when thoir leaders feel themselves bold and strong enough to announce tis their party's policy a complete centralism at Washington with the next Repub lican President, whether Sherman or Grant, as the permanent head of the government. Their interpretation of the results of tho war indicated as much from the beginning; tho two terms of Grant, with Ids bayonet ex periment to feel tho pulse of the peo ple, pointed in the same direction, and the recent discussion at the extra session of Congress on tho question, involving the use ot troops at tho polls, was still stronger proof of the same purpose. This policy includes all the late mauceuvcriugs of the par ty, and Sherman or any other ambi tious man would like to occupy a po sition looking to the American throne; therefore his followers arc pushing his claims before the people with some show of success. Those, however, who grew fat under tho cor rupt rule of Grant, sec in the "third term movement" a life-time lea60 oi power and a reopening of tho doors of tho treasury to readmit the gang of his "sisters and Iiis cousins and his aunts' " kin. Such arc the private hopes indulged by this party and such are the public declaration of soino of tho leaders. May Heaven grant that through the instrumentali ty of the Democratic party our peo ple may be saved from such a dis grace. We sincerely hope that the ! campaign of 1880 will bury forever I this illegitimate offspring of the biack period of our Republic. A Card. Cow Castle Towksih i?, Aug. 23, 1879. Editor Orangeburg Democrat: As there sccma to be a misunder standing abroad in relation to the Road Law, I desire that you have the kindness to give us some information on the subject. It has always been the custom that where a man remov ed a tree or other obstruction from the highway, for him to be excused from regular road duty at least one day for such work. Recently, how ever, Mr. J. F. Jackson, a respecta ble citizen of our township, was ar rested and dragged before the court here for refusing to work the road, when he had removed dangerous and impassable obstructions therefrom, shortly previous to the time ho was summoned to perform said duty. %lT. tfucl^solTrlu^^ that if one did the county a serSTCtTuy unobstrncting any of her highways, he would receivo credit therefor. Not so with him, however. MruJ* D. Whetscll,. highway- surveyornraT this district or township, reported him and he was tried before his Hon or, I. D. A. Connor, and found not guity. Mr. Editor, ought not a man to recievo credit for doing the public a benefit like unto that which Mr. Jackson rendered? Enquirer. The Election. Orakgeburg, S. C, Aug. 2G, 1879. Editor Orangeburg Democrat; I hear the Rads, or better known by their merited name Scalawags, are about to show their heads once more, to the public gaze, in Orange burg County. Can any weak-kneed Democrat scruple so low as to forget his manhood and lose sight of an hon est government as to allow his honot ed name to be associated with such a low and corrupt part}'? I hope not. We have got to lay all preference and prejudice aside at present ar.d stand united with a solid front upon the principle of honor for the mutual good of all ; and any man that don't do it should be branded as a traitor to an honest government, should be spurned by the fair sex on every Land, and kicked at every corner and cross road in the county by tho Dem ocrats ; for their very shadow is a dis j graco to any community in which he moves. Ho who is not with us is against us, and such a one should be forced to hold a blind horse in the the rain for a second-hand chew of tobacco uutil he freezes to death. Democrat. A Card. Branciiville, S. C, Aug. 18, 1879. Editor Orangeburg Democrat: Wo sco by tho last issue ofyoui paper, some one under a mask (the emblem ol cowards) has made a vig orous assault on the Town Council of liranchvillc. We do not propose to condescend to notice this irresponsi ble and anonymous scribbler, but if be will come from behind his mask and like a man givo his name to the public, then wo will show to the Dem ocratic renders of your paper that the Town Council is not an "accident," nor are wo governed by "prejudice," nor is the Town Hall, in thu sense ho uses it, public property.

Editor Orangcburg Democrat: Seeing my name published in your last issue as a candidate for Alder man on the ilolivcr ticket I ask leave to slate through your columns that there wub no authority whatever for such impertinent use of my name. D. E. Smoak. A Card, EtTitor Orangeburg Democrat: I'sec by the last issue of your pa-f per-rthat my name is associated with others on a ticket in opposilion to the regular Democratic ticket for munici palpfllcers. I authorized no one to us? my name except on the Demo cratic ticket, and knew of no other ticket being in the field. I am idonti flod in every way with tho Democrat ic party, vote with it, and recog nizes- no other, and hope that my name in future will not be associated with any other than the solid Demo cratic ticket. Very Respectfully, W. M. Sain. He'll Take No Bolivor in His. Editor Oraii(j:burg Democrat: Having learned that my name is used without my wish or consent wilhothers as a candidate for Alder man at the ensuing municipal elec tion on a ticket headed by Mr. Geo. lloliver and put in the field in oppo sition to that made up by the Demo cratic party, I desire the use of your coiumns to say to my friends and the public that I positively refuse to be a candidate on any other ticket than that put, out by the Democratic party. This ticket headed by Mr. J. W. Moseley, I conceive represents the true interest of Orangeburg, and I intend to work for its success, and whatever influence I may have with my color will be in its support. Very Respectfully, J. C.
