There is no question in which the interest of our people is so deeply in jvclved or imperfectly' understood as I that of the past and present indebted ' ness of the county. Most of our citi ! zens simply know that the county is burdened by a past indebtedness Of about ? 17,000, and a deficiency from last year of about 5900, making a total of about 17,9(50, and imagine that the old debt is largely due to a few Radical leaders or others who came in possession of tho claims by very unquestionable methods or un just speculations on original holders. ? Kntertaining this opinion they very J naturally look lipon any measure to j raise money by taxation for its pay ; incut {is a prostitution of the taxing I power and an imposition upon the citizens. Of the old debt the followr ing amounts arc due to the persons I named on various kinds of claims: Mr. Geo. Boliver, S2.500 ; Messrs. J. IT. Livingston and George Boliver, ?700 ; Messrs. Bull & Scoville, ?235 ; Mr. Hnrpin Riggs, $4S0 ; Mr. George II. Cor nelson, 8175; Dr. A., p. Dukes,, 8275 ; Messrs. D. Louis and S. Dibble, ?350; Mr. J. C. Fike, 8140; Messrs. Izlar & Dibblp, one claim of 8175 ; Mr. Jas. F. IjZlar, in bis ollicial capacity, as Trustee of A. Fischer, 82,400 ; and a host of other citizens, white and colored, in every section of the couuty in small claims to tho amounut of $9,188, mostly in j the bauds of original holders still, It will bo seen from this exhibit that Messrs. George Boliver and J. II. * Livingston, Radical leaders, hold I claims against the county to the i amount of 83,200, and that the next i largest claimant is Mr. A. Fischer, whilst a few of our leading merchants arc claimants to the amount of a few bundled dollars each, For the liquidation of this debt, to gether with the deficiency of $900 from last year, the Legislature at its recent session levied a tax of three fourths of a mill which, when collect ed, will be paid oj.it to tbo lowest bid- j dors, according to tbo plan originally devised by Hon. S. Dibble, that is, to such parlies ns will lake the least amount of money for their claims. It is expected that this tax which will yie'd about 81,800, will cancel about $3,000 worth of claims. At this rate it .will require the same levy for seven or eight years to wipe out tho whole of the present indebtedness of the county. It might be stated in this connection that the large bulk of the claims, which constitute the debt, were acted upon and reported as valid claims by the commission appointed by the Governor, composed of the late W. M. Iihtson, Esq., J. S./Hoy wnrd, Esq., and Major L. R. Bock with. In every case where a claim was reported on adversely by Ibis commission the County Commission ers have refused payment. So much for the old debt, but what of tho deficiencies. Wo arc informed that, the deficiency of the present fis cal year will bo greater than, proba bly double, that of last year. If such a system be pursued there will ho no end to debt. There must be a radi cal error some where. Either a sulll cicnt assessment ought to be made, with a reasonable contingent fund, to meet the necessary expenses of the county , or the. expenses ought lo be kept within the limits of tbo usscss raont allowed by the Legislature whether groat or small. It is said that the rouds and bridges cost tho county annually from 82,500 to 83.500, nearly one-fourth of the en lire expenses, and Ihe poor bouse, ! 81,000. Other necessary and uufor sccn contingent expenses increase the amount to a pum bdyond that allow ed. Tbe ptoplo should understand I the circumstances of this debt in or dor that the proper steps might be Laken lor its liquidation. The County Convention. ? At tho recent meeting of the Coun ty Democratic jCxcctilivo !Comnnt|,ee held la^t Saiurday,,tke second Satm dtty in May* proximo was appointed for the meeting of the County Con vention. This appointment gives the clubs ample time to reorganize and to make tiismfiolvpt f.inuliar with \kc subjects fo be ''bVouglif beforV Ihfct meeting for action and to send up i delegates .owrtlnwldivdellned ;vieW3. upon ..the . issues and ? fortified against the inllueuep. of wire-pullers I Ot tings, The main object qf ibis Convention is the;sell tjtion of a sutta-, hie delegation to attend the Slate Convention on lbo4st of June next in CoUtmbiar?ras such, a delegation will carry with them a correct expres sion of the senUumnta of their* con stilticnts upon tho dilfercnt matters appointed for decision by that body.: The issues therefore, of the State Convention become tho issues of'the county and club meetings. These, as I yet, nro fow and well defined : To whom .shall the State give iu support in the National Convention for Presi dent ; whether Slate ofiiccrs shall be nominated at the Juno meeting of the State Convention ; and whether ? the two thirds rule shall continue in force ns before. The first of these questions might very woll be left to the judg ment of the delegates when assembled in Columbia. The third can bettor i j be discussed at the county meeting; (the second?? concerns the people more j nearly and should be thoroughly dis icussed iu the township clubs. There is a large number of citizens of sound judgmentiwho are too modest to speak before a County Convention, but will not hesitate to express their opinions freely at a club meeting on any vita question brought before it. The inl llucnco of such men is lost to the par ty if not secured in some more private way than at a public meeting. The exisjiucics of the linics demand that every citizens should throw the weight of Its personal 'influence in favor of the success of his party by active efforts among his neighbors and by a candid expression of opin ion at meetings nppoinled for that purpose. Indeed, when party lines are so sharply drawn and the issues so clearly defined as they are now, it becomes necessary'for every one to 'be a politician in one sense of the word. There is no place more appro priate for this work than tho olub mooting, and no time so propitious as the approaching campaign. No man should bo a political idler now, because tho future of the government, whether it is to remain as a co-opera tive Republic or a central despotism, depends on the result of the election next fall. The County Convention. Office ok County Chairman of the Democratic 1'arty ok Qranueburg County. OuASGEiiuuG, S. C., March 29, 1S80. Jly and with tho advice of the Coun ty Executive Comtnittoe, I, Malcolm L. Browning, County Chairman, do hereby call a Convention of the Dein oeratie Party of Orangcburg County to meet on the second Saturday in May proximo, being the eighth day of the month, at ten and a hall*o'clock A. M., for the purpose of transacting the following business then and there to be brought before the Convention : First, to elect six delegates to rep resent the County of Orangcburg in the Slate Convention lo be holden at Columbia ou the first day of June next. Second, to express the sense of the Democratic party of Ibis County upon the question of "die repeal of the two thirds rule now of force iu National Conventions." Third, to express tho sense of the party in this county upon the (pics lion "whether the nomination of the State ticket should be made at the June Convention or at a subsequent lime. Fourth, to elect a County Execu tive Com mi Lice to serve for the next two years. Fifth, to elect a County Chairman to seivo for the same period. Sixth, and to do and transact such other business ns moy properly be brought before said Convention. The basis of* representation in said Convention will be one delegate for every club, and nn additional delegate for every twenty-live enrolled mem bers. Fractions of twenty-five will not be entitled to representation. Presidents of Clubs are hereby di rected to call their clubs to mee1, on or before the first Saturday in May, the first day of tho month, for the pur pose of electing delegates to the afore said County Convention, and of re-or gnuizing their clubs. It is urged upon the clubs to elect us delegates only those who can and will attend the Convention. Atj these meetings of tho clubs, they will proceed to elect their officers to servo for tho next' campaign, and also each club will nominate n member of the County Executive .Committee to be elected by the County Convention. The retiring County Chairman has requested our local papers to publish the Rules of the Democratic Parly so that the Convention, the clubs and the people may he fully and intelli gently informed, as to the method ol organization. ?Tue plan being Urns furnished forth, Ibfe interest and atten tion of| all arc invoked to its details. The clubs will organize and elect their officers ns In the said Rules is provided, Secretaries of clubs will iuri|ibh to one of their delegates, the list of ollieers, delegates and members of the County Executive Committee chosen, at the meeting aforesaid. Let, this Pjiiblicatiou of the f'Pnrty Rules" and this cu.H for organization under them bo tip bugle-blast whose clear and elnjery notes will command attention ! Full attendance and deep interest should characterize these primary meetings of the clubs for these are the primal steps, which, well taken, go very far towards pro moting satisfaction in the work ahead of us, and towards assu ing harmony throughout the campaign, and suc cessful issue out of all its events ! Malcolm I. Browning, County Chairman. J. L. Hkidtman, Sec. County Ex. Com. Stop Youp Fooling. If the Democratic leaders keep on killing off the Democratic Presiden tial candidates as fast as they have been doing lately the Baltimore Ga zette is of tlie opinion that by the time the Cincinnati Convention meets there will not be enough aspirants left in the Democratic ranks to bury lue dead. The Democratic masses, saya the Gazette, arc just now looking on in perfect amazement at the as sumption that any particular indivi dual deserves the nomination to the exclusion to all others. They not only want a sound man on a sound platform, but they also want a can didate who has a reasonable chance of being elected. This is not the lime nor the occasion lo make experi ments and indulge in sentimental einoticps or personal prejudices: If the delegates go* to Cincinnati with any other feeling than a dctermina* lion to nominate the man who is most likely to defeat the Republican nominee, the convention, so far as all practical purposes are concerned, might as well assemble on the shores of ibo Dead" Sea nsxm the banks jof I the Ohio. Which is Worse? A Juiyman in the Edgefield Adver tiser says ? ^'Strong drink and pistols arc the instruments by which our land Is deluged with blood." Yes, ami juries too often give certificates of innocence, lo those who havo been guilty of blood-letting. For our own part we do not know which is worse, knives and pistols, or juries that de cline to do their duty in protecting the peace and dignity of the Stale.?
