Notes. ?Mr. O'Connor has introduced a bill in the House to repeal the act creating the hoard of commissioners of the Frcedman's Bank. ?A divorce was recently granted by one of the courts in Indiana, where the only allegation against the defen dant was that he had cold feet! ?Twenty years have softened ma ny animosities, and South Carolina invites Rhode Island to join in the centennial celebration of the battle of the Cowpens. So mote it be. ?Robert Savage, a colored wid ower of 45 years, shot Allic Williams a colored girl, and then attempted to commit suicide, in Treble county, 0., on Thursday. She had refused to marry him. ?Isn't in queer? Oleomargarine to the amount of ninety-eight million pounds per year is disposed of in the United States, and yet you cannot find a store keeper who will admit ?.bat he has it in stock ! ?One of the Kditors of the San Francisco Chronicle, Chns De Young, was shot and killed by J. M. Kalloeh, a son of the Mayor of that city, whilst attending to his duties in the office. The murderer was arrested and lodg ed in jail. ?The Clarendon Press has placed under its editorial head the names of Thomas Francis Bayard for Presi dent, and John L. Manning for Gov ernor, and promises to keep thctn there until the respective conventions decide who at e to be our leaders. It takes many columns to hold the rejoicings of the Cincinnati Gozelts over Tilden's so-called triumph in New York. All the Republican pa pers are happy over any indication that the machine may be able to force Tilden's nomination. ?A defaulting county treasurer in Iowa excus d his conduct on the ground that he had dreamed he must take 88.000 and buy certain lands snd that he was a believer in dreams. He didn't have to dream that he was ueni to the State prison. ?A wicked contemporary fays: "Instead of the'rag baby' troubling sage senators and our representatives in Congress, it is the real live baby that startles at.the threshold and ur ges attention at every outlet from the halls of assembled wisdom." ?It seems lo be settled that Kel logg shall keep his sent, not so much on the auorits of his case as because several Democratic Senators think his formal sealing by a vote of the Senate was a final it}', and they pre ft-r principle to party advantage. ?4iMj' knowledge of the diploma tic service," said a young Republican last week, "is very slight. I don't know what an * Envoy Extraordinary' is," but after the Londoners had played poker with General Scheuch a lew times they must have thought him an extraordinary envoy. ?The silent, lonesome-looking men wiio now and then stravs into <he Senate chamber and deposi'.s his fishing pole behind the presiding officer's desk is a gentleman named Wheeler. He was in politics some 3'ears ago, but of late has taken no Hctivc part, except occasionally at party conventions. lie is the Lone Fisherman of the Republican part}'. ?-Iowa, which is the banner Re publican State, shows the worst ?official corruption of any state in the Union. Of 99 county treasurers, not less than 45 are defaulters. The Governor's private secretary has made off with 870.000 of Hi* people's money ; the State treasurer has ap propriated 850,000 belonging to the ngricul'ural college, and the assistant Stale treasurer bus also Becnred sev eral thousand dollars of public mon eys. ?Hasty words rankle a wound, ?oft ones dress it. Forgiveness cures it, and forgetfulness removes the pear. It is more nable, continues Quatles, to avoid an injury by silence ; llitiri to overcome it by argument*! So in hearing mysteries, Keep thy tongue quiet. Five words spoken io*t Zacharias forty weeks of silence. Goil is forgiving. Michael, a rues ueng? r of wrutn, comes on oue wing, but Gabriel, ah an.^el of peace, on two wings. So runs the Jewish pro verb. ?Our greatest American soldier, j Generai W id Held Scott, with all tin luurels of his brilliant Mexican cam paign fresh upon him, was defeated in 1852 for the Presidency by Frank lin Pierce,, u plain New England vil lage lawyer, but against whose record there was no shadow of blemish. It ia true he was a soldier also, but only a",niustang," a volunteer general, and was accused of fainting in his fitst and only battle. And il is with a civilian that we can now defeat the so called "greatest general of the clay"?such a civilian is Thomcs P. Uaynrd or Horatio Seymour. The True Polioy. ? No course seems so "Clearly indi cated as the proper one for the Dem ocratic parly of Orangeburg to pursue in the present campaign as the straight-out policy which won the Statu in 187G and retained it in 1878. A 6trict adherence to the same princi ples is destined lo establish Demo cratic control (irmly and permanently in every county of the State at the approaching election. The best men should he selected as candidates for otllee and with reference only to their fitness for the duties lo be required of them and their acccptibility to the groat bodv of Democrats proper. The polic}' prevailing in some sec tions of the Slate of running a man because of his availability with the colored people without reference to fitness is ruinous in the first de gree. Whilst n few votes may be gained from this quarter, more than enoug^i will be lost in enthusiasm aiming our own people and in actual injury to the cause to balance any gain we may suppose to accrtu from such a course. Good men, who hold the general interest of the govern ment and the welfare of the people near at heart, cannot and will not approve such nominations; because it ia at variance with every principle which should actuate the intelligent voter and diminishes the dignity of the party without increasing its prob abilities of success. Nor will tam pering with galvanized Radicals of the last six years manufacture be less endured by those who desire an hon est government and mean to woik zealously for the success of the Dem ocratic party during the present cam paign. Such folly is patent to every thinking mind, because the man who had once dipped his fingers in the Republican pie, or tasted the sweets of plunder and spoil or wallowed in the pool of Radical mire, cannot for get the flesh pots of Egypt or wipe the stains of guilt from his hands. Gal vanized as they may be, they are not the pure metal und will corrode by contact with temptalion and crime, lietter leave them on t'e stool of re pentance at least a century. The Club Meeting. One of the best and most encour aging signs of the limes is the gener al rallying of Democrats in and about the town at the club meeting on Tuesday evening, anil the unanimity which prevailed during the entire proceeding. The meeting was lull? one of the largest we have ever at tended. Merchants, whose business engagements arc pressing, laid them aside and were out in force ; young men, who were actively engaged all day, manifested their appreciation of the importance of the issues involved by a general attendance and uctive participation in the proceeding ; law yers, even on the threshold of Court, week, placed aside their piles of legal pnpcis and devoted themselves lo the advancement of the cause; farmers left their homes and their work to en courage and aid their fellow Demo crats in devising means and planning; for Hie coming victory ; indeed every one that could get out was there, en thusiastic, hopeful and determined to light il through to the last ditch. So far as we have heard from the coun try clubs the same prompt attend ance und unity of action prevail among the members of the party .here au here. This general muslcr of Democrats all along the line is more than eiicouragicg, und means that our people are politically alive and deter mined that their best and dearest in terest shall not.be put (o the hazard again without au earnest effort lo se their ultimate triumph. The charac ter of the delegations means that there shall be no pandering with principle; but straight-out Democra cy mubl fight the battle and win the victory in the present campaign. It all means that rascality must hide its menu head bcfoic the march of hon esty; that corruption and ignorance must give place to purity nnd intelli gence ; and that compromise or bar tering with simon pure or galvanized Radicuh) must not and shall not be swallowed by the Democracy of to day, and we arc glad it is so, The Radical Convention. On the first page of this week's issue wo publish the proceedings of the Radical County Convention, and propose in this article to give ex pression to tho thoughts suggested to <?ur mind by tho manner in which these proceedings were conducted aud tho appearance of the delegates aIio took an active part in them. As a matter of course permission was. obtained by our reporter to re main within the hall during the s s ;on, not, however, without promts I tug that a fair report would be given and no burlesque wantonly indulged in at the expense of the assembled wisdom of the colored race. By the published list of delegates it will be seen> that a majority of the members of this body urc the same old party hacks and chronic office seekers who figured in the days of "good stealing" and political slavery. There were others here it is true, but not of the advanced type of our col ored population who are prepared by culture to give tone to a public meet ing or character to those they repre sent. Indeed wc were standing by representatives of this class who seemed as thoroughly disgusted with the wild disorder nnd savage yelling, prevailing very nearly all the time, as any reasonable men could be. From indications manifesting them selves on every side, we were led to conclude that the power and influence of white leaders, as Boliver and Webster, were on the deel inc,amount ing almost to nothing. This is con firmed by the easy victory achieved by Strakcr over both these old lead ers. The election of J. 11 Livings ton as a delegate was due in the main to the very creditable indorsement given him by Strakcr and not to any personal influence possessed by that gentleman over the colored delegates. The days in the career of white Radi cals are numbered in Orangeburg, and for the sake of the negro we are glad of it. Another noticeable feature in this Convention is the indisputable fact that whilst the colored people have improved, under the four years of Democratic rule, in general appear ance and material prosperity, they have not advanced one step in poli tics. They are the same narrow minded, prejud ced creatures to-day they were eight years ago, when they yielded a slavish obedience to the dictation of unscrupulous loaders and were the willing tools of dishonest aspirants lo ofliec. Tho same disor derly conduct cha: actcrizes their po litical meetings and the greed for of fice is aa universal among them to day as then. They arc not disposed to allow political liberty to any of their color more than is found in the Republican party, and that is slavish enough, heaven knows. A colored Democrat is as much condemned ami ostracised by the average colored Radical as he ever was?it amounts, in many cases, to" hatred. Political reticence and treachery toward their white neighbors seem still to be a ne cessary element of Radicalism, espe cially of the old school,and the only in dependence of thought is found among those whose associations bring them in contact with a culture superior to that possesseil by political leaders and olllce seekers. As the party now stands there can be no hope for the country if the contiol of its govern ment f.dls again into the hands of the Radicals. The stealing of the past will be increased in a tenfold ratio and will be ns unlimited as the ignor ance aud prejudices of the masses and llie dishonesty of their leaders. Experience is no teacher for the ne gro. Third Term. The Anti-Third Termer's Conven tion of the Republican party will meet in St. Louis on the Gth of May next. It is thought that an address will he issued to the Republicans throughout the country, setting forth the dangers that threaten the nation by the elec tion of Gen. Grant for u third term. Whether they will go fuither and nominate a President is not decided, yet there is a large percentage of the party in favor of any thing and any body rather than Gen. Grant. From the complexion of the Radical delegations thus far elected, South I Carolina is not likely to be represent ed at St. Louis. There are only a few Anti-Third Termers here. Now j and then, but few and far between, an honest Republican of independ jence and more thnn ordinary political pluck may be met who is out-spoken in his opposition to Grant and the Third Term movement. If the Radi cals of Orangeburg reflect the general sentiment of the party in tho State, to speak against Grant is more than a man would dare to do and call him self a Republican. Ostracism would be the inevitable, result, yet there are a few Republicans among us?a few only?who think for themselves and will act for themselves. Change of Offices. Since our last issue wo have read tlie Protest signed by the bar in the matter of changing tho Clerk of the Court's office noticed in our last. The bar sets forth the following rca sons why the change should not be made, all of which wc believe lo be just, fair and valid reasons: uIt is proposed by the change to furnish the ' Clerk but a single room for the keep ing of Records of the Courts of General Sessions and Common Pleas, embrac ing the Equity Records besides the Records of the office of Register of Mesnc Conveyances (which last of themselves require a room of consider able size and are constantly accumu lating.) It will be utterly impracti cable for the Clerk to transact the business of the two olllccs of Clcik and Register, and keep his records arranged conveniently for that con slant reference which is made to them in a single room. Resides we are on the eve of n session of the Circuit Court, and the moving of the records at this time, and the consequent eon fusion will greatly interrupt the mem bers of the bar, and the officers of the Court in their preparation of the bus iness of the term. We therefore pro test against any disturbance of the records at Ibis time, and against re stricting the Clerk to one room for his oiiieial use." A report to this effect will be made at the next term of the Court, and it is quite likely that the order of Judge Prcssley will be recalled and the of fices allowed lo remain undisturbed. - 1 ?- tmMwm - Republican State Convention. This august body assembled in the House of Representatives at Colum bia, on the 27th instant, and organ ized by electing E. W. M. Mackey President. From the News and Con ricr we learn that the Convention is eomposcd of eighty-two negroes and thirty-six whites. The counties of Lexington and Horry failed lo send delegates, and there were some ab sentees from other counties. q( the negroes nearly one third appear in the fraud committee's report as thieves and bribe-takers, and the white delegates, with scarcely an ex ception, either are, or have been (and hope to be) Federal olficcholdejs. In addition to the delegates, there Is a small army of hangers-on who.have swarmed in the lobbies all day. The doughnut stands, which have been conspicuously absent from the State House for some years, reappeared to make the picture complete. Resolutions pledging the delegates to Grant were adoplVd without much discussion. Some of the negro members de nounced the white Radicals of the State, saying that they had deserted the colored people, and was only seen among them when offices were to be given out. As usual, however, the white members came in for their full share of the honors, as the following list of delegates elected to go to Chi cagowill show, tho first seven of whom arc white: D, D. McCall, S. T. Poiner, C. C. Bowen, W. N. Taft, W. M. Fine, E. W. M. Mackey, E. M. Brayton, W. A. Ilayuc. Wilson Cook, W. J. Wbippor, W. F. Myers, C. M. Wilder, R. B. Elliott and Sam Lee. Straker and Webster are among the alternates. South Carolina Railroad. The recent report of Receiver Fish er shows this road to be in a most flourishing condition, with its income increasing month by month. Run ning through a period extending from October 1, 1878, lo D cember 31, 1879, the net earnings of the road amount to the creditable sum of 8549,162, with cash on hand amount ing lo 8184 051, and a balance due tho road by agents and others of 875,545. This is certainly a most creditable exhibit when the circum stances of the roud and the difll cultities under which Mr. Fisher la bored, are taken into consideration. Married.
