All Ihtsincss Communications, r iL again'. Oh the other hand the dreadful consequences of :'. defeat in 1880 may be correctly mi nsurcd, wlu n w< jtuow that it will result in the disap pointment of every hope born ol the success ol 187C ; in the abandonment of every foot of ground gained ; in the l.)ss of every power acquired ; and, morolhan all, in strengthening the strongholds ?l fie enemy and in binding faster the diackels about the liberties of the people. A defeat in 1880 will go far toward the disinte gration of tho Democratic parly ami) the destruction ol* its power for good in tin? future. A centralism will have been consummated nl Washington, with the Hull leal party as the bead of iho Government for all lime to comcj when the decision shall be made that Democracy is defeated throughout the United Slates. Then tho South shall enler 14)011 n now period of hu milialion, civilized society upon u new decline and all industrial pur suits shall again be paralized for [years to come. lutlepcndentism is relied upon by the Radical to effect this, and il cannot?ll must not bei Signs of Better Times. One can scarcely fail to notice the spirit of enterprise that has taken 114>K1 upon tho energies of our people since the present season began ; and Ihe contrast, between llic opening of the present and Hint of the last win ter, is marked and onoouraging. The frequent failures of the best houses in llic business world during the last two or three years, lie suspension in many strong manufacturing compa nies, Llic? sale of crops falling short of the expenses'to make them, and llio j wild spirit of speculation that seemed to control every department of trade, [served only to destroy confidence, cripple credit and paralyze business, j The opening of the present business I season, however, seem to infuse new j life into every department cf trade. In New York, we arc told by our merchants who have just returned, that every kind of trade is revived. The hotels arc crowded with mei chants from every quai tor of the Union, and every facility is afforded for conducting business upon a true and llrui basis. Our l harlcslon mer chants seem actuated by Ihe same zeal and the bouses there are doing the largest and best business of any season since the war. The railroads have .'ill adopted quick .schedules for ' the purpose of keeping Jfacc with the advancement of tho,times. This ac ; tivily in business circles at the mc ; tropolis of the nation and that of the Slate is reflected to the interior cities and county towns; i and as a result the largest stock of goods in every line lias been purchased. This, we 'know, is the case in Orangeburg; j aud wo feel assured that Iho cxpectu ' lions of our merchants v ill not seri ously be disappointed at the end of 1 the season. Thus far the reasonably high price of cotton has influenced the farmers to bring forward their crops as fast as Ihcy one gathered, j ami the expenses incurred and the ?debts ?lue from last year are being i rapidly settled. This, it seems to us j argues that confidence has beer re stored and belter limes have actually, dawned upon our people. What may be the direct cause of this slale of j things, is difficult to say at Ibis stage of the revolution. The credit may justly be divided between three great I controlling influences: the resump tion of specie payment in tho finan cial world ; the restoration of the South to Democratic rule in politics ; (and the adoption of the policy of i sowing large crops of small grain and making abundant provision supplies ? in the agricultural world. Lei this I be as it may, wc earnestly hope that 'our people have entered upon a now era of prosperity, ami that ihe pre sent activity is only the harbinger of I that glorious success which is to bless the efforts of their labor in the near future. New York Imbroglio. The papers both North ami South seem to be tilled willi criticisms upon the recent bolt of tho Tammany Hall Democrats fiom the parly organiza tion at their meeting at Syracuse to nominate a ticket for the Stale Gov ernment. Ah soon :is it was ascer tained that the majority of the Con vention, under the leadership of cx Clovcrnor Tilden, was determined to renominntc Governor Kobinson, the Tain many Democrats, led by Mr. John Kelly, bolted and immediately placed the name of Mr. Kelly in nom ination for Govei nor. It is thought in Now York that the split in the Democratic party will increase the probabilities in favor of iho election of Cornell, the Republi can nominee, who is objectionable to a large portion of Iiis own party us well as to the Democrats. This, however, concerns dirocUy the State of New York ; its bearing upon the nation Democracy, with which the South is interested, consists in the influence it will bring to bear Upon Iii?; Convention when il meets to nominate candidates lor President and Vicc-lVo-ddc-nt of the United States. As the matter now stain]*), ihe delegation of the Uohiiisoii adher ents, which represents the large, ma jority of the paily in the Slate, will be in favor of the rciwtninnlion ol Mr. Tilden lor the Presidency, Tin? policy, controlling the South since 1 he war, has made her an interested lint silent factor until the nominations arc made add then throw her force solidly for ?io nominees made by llto North. Whether Ibis course was Hie prop er one for the South to pursue we do not question now, but in the next Na tional Democratic Convention the duty seems to be plain that our dele gates should protest in unmistakable terms against, iite reuoinination ol IMr. Tilden. There is already a large number of our citizens, and the num I Jferla daily increasing, who charge j that gentleman with the fraud perpe trated on the party at the lost elec tion which deprived the nation of a Democratic Government and to which is credited the failure of the present Congress to repeal the ruinous laws enacted by the Radical patty, and to successfully puss others that would restore the Government to its regular functions established by the Constitu tion. Whether this belief is just or not docs not materially alter Hie ar gument?the fact actually exists that such is Hie case. To secure, there fore, a solid South in support of the National Democratic ticket, it be comes imperatively necessary to | place in nomination some other name than that of Mr. Tilden. We trust, i 11 order that .success may crown our c(forts in the next National campaign, that the best wisdom may control the counsels ol our party. England. Oiil England seems to he goLling in a bail way. An old war against the ' Zulus in South Africa, yet continuing I by spasmodic efforts BUllicicnlly strong to render her authority there doubtful ; a new war, and probably of greater magnitude, against the Af ghans in Asia; a depleted reserve force at Lome which renders it ex ceedingly dillicult to reinforce her weakened regiments in foreign fields ; an unparalleled failure of the grain crops throughout, her dominions ; an unsettled condition of her industrial pursuits; and a lamentable falling off in her commerce both at home and abroad?all make a combination of circumstances rxtrcmely unfavorable to her material prosperity. There seems to be no remedy against the evils besetting her; at least the wis dom of her statesmen has failed thus fur to discover or provide one. Eve ry" day brings assurances of a decp s'. atcjl__ trouble and her citizens tire abandoning their homes for the more certain and profitable Holds of America. Where the lioublo will end, or whether it will end in the hu miliation of the proud mistress of an Empire, upon the possessions of which Llto sun never sets, remains for Lite future to unfold. South Carolina has thousands of acres of* rich lands that will afford homes to welcome thous ands of England's fleeing subjects* Let 'diem come! Prof. Bibikov's Lignite Beds. This gentleman, formerly a Profes sor in Claflin University, published an account ol* a discovery of Lignite Coal made on the plantation of Mr, Hammond in Edgclie.'d County, which was pretty severely criticised by other scientists tit the lime. Since then he has been carrying his explorations fur. ther and with more satisfactory re sults, accounts of which have appeared from lime to time In the Columbia Hey later. On a recent trip Lo a local ity near Augusta by sinking a shall he discovered two strata of Lignite underlying beds of shale, lie also passed over to Georgia and sixteen miles front Augusta, found a wall of Lignite in the side of a hiil about twelve feet thick and of excellent quality which he afllrms lo be worth two millions of dollars if brought on the market at this lime. If this coal proves to be what Rrof, Bivikov nfllrms and in the quantity he suspects, it may develop a source of revenue for our section that will render it worth while to make an ef fort lo utilize it. Wc really sec no reason why such beds might not cxisl in our section of tho country as well as beds of Anthracite and Lignite in other sections no older than this. Appeal for Aid.
