New York, for Grant. I By political trickery Ike CLptc of Pennsylvania was cam cd only a few weeks ago in the Republican conven tion for Gen. Grant by his friends. ?So small was the mnjoritj" in his favor and extraordinary the ineasur.es em ployed to secure it, that the friends of Constitutional government in the' party 'thought it necessary to issue an address of warhing to those who were about to adopt extreme measures and to precipitate the parly perhaps upon most extraordinary issues, at a time when tho peace of the country might be.end angered by Ultimi While Gen.' Grant will be the first choice of the' - Pennsylvania delegation at Chicago, i he is far from being the unanimous choice of the Stale at large. : The same successful political trick cry was employed by bis friends, par < ticulnrly Conkling, at the Republican 1 Statcconvonlion of New York recent J ly held in the city of Utica, and with ,i the same result. Had big. opponents properly calculated Iii3 weakness, or their own slcnglh,' quite a different . turn might have bcei^given to affairs. I Out of r^'orc Ihau four hundred delc ' gales, Garant could develop a certain support from only two hundred fol lowers. As an indoK, therefore, of ? New York Republicanism this action 1 points to anything else than unanimi ty in I hp par/bV. Like Pennsylvania, i New York will go for Grant at Cld ? eago, notwithstanding l}ic opposition to him developed among the better I class of Republicans in both Slates. So ? adroitly were the parly wiics pulled ; that Grant's successes in these two leading Stales, will count all the same, in the way of influence, as if be had been regularly ami unanimously supported. The same political tac tics' will be Ueed to secure'his nomi nation by the 'National convention and villi'the same'final result. The third'term objection will be bushed by bringing the so-called unlawful efforts of the Democratic party to Subvert State governments both at the North and South to secure the control of the general government by violence and fraud, prominently before the conven tion. Maine will be a harp of a thous and strings for skillful politicians lo play upon. South Carolina will be made to furnish her full quota of po litical capital, and the entire criminal record of Ihr? South will be made to pay tribute to the success of Grant's compaign. Principle will be dethron ed and policy rule supreme in Chica go... : ! ?' ... ? ' : The Reward of Industry.

Our Republican Iraduccrs North and South arc wont lo decry Ihn lib erality and justice of our white citi zens by parading tho' fact that no oolorcd families own Jancjs at the South ; that they are not allowed to do so. from the hard ler.no of sale ; and that they are obliged tp Ip'cvo, jherc forT-,of? hospital lands and more!

Rioting. U is natural for'peaceful communi ties to'cypress deep'' sympathy for tbosp localities where rioting and law lessness so often prevail', and especial ly is Ibis true on the- part of thoso who have suffered from tho same source of evil. In 'Sah Frnuciqco there are opposing elements in the population which can by'no means, outside of religion, be made homoge neous. Adventurers of every nation ality in the world, gamblers and blacklegs, idlers and schemers, miners and trappers, Chinamen and Indians, all constitute the body of her popula tion, und make it a pandiruonium of lawlessness and crime. Under the names1 'of agitators and workmen, these elements are making war upon mercantile communities not only by I interfering with business b;it resisting j the law of the land.' They assert their readiness to maintain their lights'ami to visit upon their oppress ors punishment "so s'Wift and terrible that the readers of history will shud der at the record." This is worse than Nihilism in Russin, Communism in Germany, ami equal in enormity only to Radicalism, in the South. Good citizens everywhere desire to witness the supreinacy of law iu eve ry quarter of the lan<| because such a slate of affairs can only prove the slicngth and permanency of Republi can institutions. Candor. Wc call the attention of our read ers to a letter published on the out side of this week's paper, written by Dr. John C. Dubois, formerly of the Slalc of New York, but now spend ing the winter months in Inc mild and dry climalc of Orangeburg, and which we clip from tjie Chatham, N. Y., Courier: |)r. Dubois is a North ern mail,'and we suppose by hiclettpr a Republican, but hot"a carpet-bag ger or in anywise p political' adven turer. He comes amcng us to be one of us. lie bringe his capital and in vests il 'here'' He docs tot mean, like the horde of political vultures who came to tiie South in the days of her poverty and humiliation, to grow fat on the spoils left from the war and then return, but to..make out land his land, our society bis society, our fortune bis fortune I and our peo ple his people. Ho docs not mean his politics or our politics, shall be tho dividing line,' which may hot be passed save by a sacrifice of princi ple. In the candor. of a generous heart he means to live and move and have bis being among us as b'nc df us. Orangeburg- welcomes him and bis family, and stands read}- to give the hand of 'welcome to thousands more from the North or "West who may come here in the same spirit, vyilhout rcspec(. tp Ibcir'rcligicn', poli tics or previous condition.

" s'atilt upon the person of Mrs. Daniel I'd id, near Murray's Church, six | miles from George's station, was captured on Saturday evening last three miles /"torn tho place where the crime was committed ; and vyhilo on his way to the WaUerboro jail, in charge of two constables, ^yas met by seven or eight men and forcibly taken from his keepers, Rinder was then brought to Mrs. Byrd's near ?raricb ville, who had suffered a similar as sault on the 4th February, and was recognized by her as the viliinn who committed tho deed. A crowd of near one hundred persons, white and colored, took him' to a convenient tree, and there ended by hanging his miserable lifo. The history of this maii is n catalogue of crimes running from theft to murder and rape. For months ho has been a terror to Or angeburg and Cdllcton Counties, as saulting while '?and colored people in a most barbarous manner, and, in view of such a character, the citizens met and determined not to wait upon tlic- slow and uncertain nrcccsa of the courts but to administer the pun ishment his'crimes' richly deserved,. Under the circumstances' who shall say it was wrong? ?.'.??ViMV?? -?- MM?B?IKaMMMMJMfcvjisunuw Not Blinded hy the Chips. County Commissioner L. "S. Con- j nor has in this issue a communication oailcd forth Uy a local which appear ed in these columns sometime ago. The information given in the para graph complained of was obtained from Dr. A. S. Hydride, physician to the jail, who has rend tho communica tion of Mr. Connor, and slates that, [ the shutters will ..answer all needed purposes during iho night, 'out during the day when the prisoners require sunlight and air the shutters have'of necessity to be opened and the pris oners are exposed to the severest weather, and must submit, or be shut up in absolute darkness all the Urpe. We are not blinded by tho chips, but the prisoners are kept in darkness by the shutters. Tho justice of the courts as expressed in their sentences de mands that prisoners be confined in jail, not in a dungeon as the present arrangement necessitates. The local referred to was neither dictatorial nor was it written in a spirit of unjust criticism, but merely suggeslive of a need wc heard existed without being aware of any attcmp'i to correct it. Our only desire was to have the pris oners while undergoing the sentence of the law, made a3 comfortable as is compatible with the degree of crime committed. Torture is not the end of justice. Now ! It is, says the Washington Post, really an unhappy predicament in which tho Bay State Radicals llud themselves. According to the Four teenth Amendment and the Statute of 1373, disfranchised citizens arc not to be counted in Ibe basis of reprcn lalion, either in Congress or the elec toral college. This idea is a product j of Massachusetts Radicalism, and it is not a bad notion, if honestly car ried out. There are in the State 130,000 men wdio have been denied, or deprived of, the ballot, contrary to jLke fourteenth Amendment and the law enacted to secure its enforcement. These disfranchised citizens arc counted as a part af the present basis of representation, ami on thoir strength Massachusetts has three more members of Congress and three i more Presidential electors than she could have if the 113t;,000 were sah st racled from her basis Unless her disfranchising lav/o are repealed by the present Legislature, she must give Up thnec' Congressman and tbe same'number of electors. But tbe j repeal of these laws will put the Slate j into'the' bauds of the Democracy, j and the reigning powers cannot con I template such an event without un I miligated horror. The Duties pf Etjitpro. What isyjxactcd of an editor now a-d?ys scorn's to be a sort pf general omniscience. He must keep the run of everything?politicd, science, re ligon, art, agriculture, general liteia j.urc.' 'flic world is alive and moving everywhere, and be must know just what's going on and be able to {lave an opinion ready made ant] ready to gp \o press ? at any moincnts. He must tfcll a T just what Ihcy arc doing in Asbanleo and liahomey, and what they don't do and ought to do in New York He must be wise and in structive about currency, and taxes, and tarilJV, and aide to guide Con gress ; and then be must, take ?urc bf the Church?know just what the Old Catholics are up to, tbe last new kink of the Ritualists, and tbe right and j wrong of all the free lights in the dif-1 fercnldenominations. It really mak-l es my little head spin just to hear what they are getling up articles about. Then there arc all sorts of | writing men and women sending J pecks and bushels of articles to be i printed, and getting furious if they I aro not printed, though the greater] part pf them are such hopeless trash j that you only need to read four lines j to know that they aic good for nolh- j ing ; but they all expect them to be rcmailcd with explanations and crilic icms, and the ladies sometimes write letters of wrath that arc perfectly j fearful.

For tbe bene fit of some of our young friends who we fear aie being innocently led away from the paths ofrectitudo and virtue by frequenting places where gambling is carried on, we will tell it : One night a miller was yoked up by his camel trying lo get its nose into the tent. "It's very cold out here," said the camel. "{ only want 10 put my nose in." Tbe miller made no objec tion. After awhile the camel asked leave to have his neck in, then his fore feet; and so litlle by little, it crowded in its wjiolo body. This, as you may well tbji)k, wap very disa greeable lo the miller, and he bitter ly complained to the forth-putting beast. "If you don't like it, you may go," answered the camej. '\As for me, I've got possession,-and I shall stay. You can't get rid of me now." Do you know what tbe camel iu like? j Bad habits. Guard against the firs' "social" game of cards. Of course il is only to "pass away" lime, U12 most plausible excuse, only the nose of the demon. If you do not, you arc in danger. It will surely edge itself slowly in, and you a:o overpowered before you know it. A Card. OitAKOKuuRq, S. C, March 3, 188Q. Editor Orangeburg Democrat': In the issue of your paper of Janu ary lGlb, 1880,, there appeared in tbe local column reference to the jail, sta'ing that prisoners were conduct! therein and "ex posed to t'.c weather in consequence of windows having nc shutters. Tllig was slated by you as a fact, and 1 think il likely to deceive the public as to the true condition ol affairs, and that it ma)- not have this tendency I would ask permission through your columns to slntp facts as they really were and are ; namely : That when the present Board of Com missioners assumed the duties of Ihc olliee, complaint was made to them lhat prisoners in the county jail were suffering much from exposure. In j fact it was thought that from lids cause a prisoner died. The County Commissioners, in the discharge ol their duty, endeavored to gst some one to lake the contract to supply proper shelter for tbe jail windows. This proved futile for some thue for want of funds. Finally a con tract was made with Copt. Bell for the work w hich was done. This work was done before the article in question appeared, and window shut ters were and are still in place; It appears to me a little Btrange that you should have been so very quiet about the matter when the want ol which jou spoke actually exislcd, and wait one year after it was supplied before" making complaint. While I do iiot object to dictation und criti cisms upon matters of public nature, I would respectfully suggest that you stale facts as ihey exist ; in short, tell the truth ami the whole truth. 1 mean by Ibis that you will give both sides of the sulject. In other words, while you "hew straight to the line" hew square, ami don't be blinded by the chips. L. S. CONNOR. Nationaland State Convention. Col.
