J I* t: territorial government is established there, the people of tho rest of the counties will have to be taxed to the* extent of about- twenty thousand dol lars a year. It looks, to a man up a tree, as if the government could make money by tlading'Alaska oil" for a yellow dog smd then kill tho dog. Will Grant be Nominated? According to calculations based upon tho best Republican authority as well as others directly or indirect ly interested in the nomination ol Gen, Grant at Chicago, we arrive at the conclusion that ho will be the next candidate for the Presidency of the United Stales. There arc but three hundred and seventy-nine votes needed to secure this.- result. Of these ho will receive from New York the entire vote of her delegation which amounts to seventy in all. Pennsyl vania will give him fifty-eight, and forty-two voles from Illinois, together with two hundred and sixty-six from the "solid South" will giv^ him more than the number necessary and leave :t large margin for anti-third termers to operate upon. There arc othor Western apd Northen: Slates equally certain to give hiur solid delegations which will put his nomination beyond the shadow of a doubt. Indeed so determined seem tho body of the Re publican party upon Gen. Grant as their candidate that his nomination may be made by acclamation. Many Democratic leaders and a large por tion of the press arc disposed to look upon Grant as the easiest of all tbe Repuplican aspirants to bo defeated. This may or it may not be, but U does not accord with our past experi ence with the Republican party. Party allegiance with them is the on ly Controlling principle in politics, and with the unity which has hereto fore characterized that allegiance the opposition of third-termers docs not furnish sufficient reason upon which to base a split. Nor is il at all prob able that enough of those, working against a third term, will pctsist in their opposition to defeat Iiis election. There arc in every Northern Stsile a number of Republicans who act from principle and will oven vote for a Democrat if ho be a man of as pure a record a3 Senator Bayard or even Judge Fields. But this number is scarcely sufficient to warrant us in expecting any thing like a disastrous split in the Republican ranks. Jt therefore becomes the duty of thVf>SN<i lional Democracy to abate not one iota of their zeal even if Gen. Grant' should be the nominee, and the way! to success seems easy and sure. j Social Ostracism. Senator Hoar's burning indignation | against the white cadets at West Point, tor their ostracism of Whilla ker electrified his fellow-Republicans all over tho country. But a corre spondent of the Washington Republi can takes the wind out ol Hour's sails with the following suggestion : "Sena tor lirucc is worth a hundred Whitla kers, and his Senatorial and social ostracism is, from his position, a thousand times more offensive than Whitlaker's. The "Hon. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, made a telling speech the other day on Cadet Whillukor bel?g left to himself, but the honors; blc Senator did not think how severe ly lie has left Senator Bruce and bis charming wife alone." Now, this correspondent is extremely verdaut if ho expects the colored man to be received on social equality with the white Republican;-?. Here, in Orange burg, whore the 'negro does all the voting and where the few while Radi cals manage lo gobble up all the of fices, wo never hoar of a social gath ering at which the white and colored brethren meet together on perfect equality. Let the negroes think of this, and insist on being recognized socially by those men who expect lo ride into fat positions by their voles. Ex-Gov. Chamberlain. Tho Columbia Register says that a private letter received* in Columbia announces the fact that ex-Gov. D. H. Chamberlain has boon pronounced insane by hi;; physicians in New York. When ox Cov. Chamberlain wao in politics in South Carolina wo opposed him from first to last, because wo be lieved him lo bo 03 bad as any of the venal and corrupt gang with whom be was associated, but now that the heavy hand of afiliction has been laid upon his brew, depriving him of the reason with which God had so mag nificently endowed him, wo forgive nil, and entertain for him nothing but sympathy and kindly feeling. Tho Poll Tax. During tho tlnys of Radical misrule and plunder tho poll tax, which is provided for by tho constitution, re mained uncollectcd from the colored people. Whito citizens paid very nearly the entire taxes of tho ?State which run tho government, enriched Radical olllcials aud educated the children. They wcro obliged to pay it, poll tax and-all, boenuso their landed estates would pay the forfait through executions and sale. The hu ge majority of colored* people would not pay one dollar of tax, not oven tho poll which was appropriated ex clusively to the education of their children. To enforce tho payment of this tax the Legislature a few ses sions ago passed an Act making im prisonment the penalty of non-pay ment of the poll tax. The work ings of this law brought thonsauds of dollars to tho school fund and iruj prispucd hundreds of colored people througout the sidle. This last, feature made it unpopular and several at temps were mado lo tost its validity before the court but signally failed until quite recently twelve colored men who had boon confined in the Charleston jail for non-payment of the poll tax were brought before .Judge Prcsslcy on a write of habeas corpus. The prisoners were ordered by the court to bo tVscbargcd on tbe ground that the act prescribing im prisonment for non-payment of poll lax is unconstitutional. J udge l'ros sley, in delivering his judgment, took the position that the poll tax is a debt and that the constitution ex pressly forbids imprisonment for debt. It also provides that the penalty for non-payment o( taxes shall bo equal; whereas this la v prescribes imprison men for a poor man who fails to pay his poll tax, aud a dilTcrcut punishment for a rich man who fails to pay bis. While this ruling of Judge Pressley may be strictly according lo the writ j leu law, it will certainly operate dis j astcrously against the school fund. Colored people will not pay their poll lax if they know its pay ment cannot be enforced. This will again throw the burden cf taxation upon the white citizens and tho^o of our colored people wiio own property liable to sale. Orangeburg county will in all probability lose live thous and dollars by this decision. It will therefore become tho duty of the next Legislature to enact such a law as will meet the demands of the constitu lion and at the same time bo effec tive in enforcing tho payment of the poll tax. j Tho Floral Fair. According to tho announcement of tbo Directors of tho Urangeburg Agricultural and Mechanical Associa tion the annual spring Floral Fair will bo held at the budding on the 1-lth instant. All the previous exhi bitions of this character have been very creditable to both town and country, and it is expected that the tlowers and the garden products of the county will not fall short either in variety', quality and quantity of past years. The Directors arc mak ing ample preparations, but tho suc cess of the Fair will depend ma nly upon the interest our people lake in the matter. No county in the State has built up more rapidly from the ruin of the war in tho essential ele ments of material prosperity than Or angeburg ; and this progress has been noticeable in no feature more thm in the Floral Fairs hold year alter year. Wo have hoard of excellent gardens throughout the county which is doubtless attributable as much to the industry of the people and climate of the country as to the very favora ble seasons of tho winter anil spring. Let lite products of the garden, both ' useful and ornamental, be collected ! hero on the 14th, that wo may see what each other is doing. In tho success of this exhibition the ladies arc deeply concerned?it is essential- j ly their Fair and all the credit of suc cess .will bo theirs. Let them, there fore, come up nobly to the help of the Directors that tho Fair may be a grand success, and eclipse any one of previous years. - mm * ? - A Move in the Right Direction. In their report to the Court on Wednesday, besides the matter "usu ally presented on such occasions, the Grand Jury recommended that all persons who wish to deal in the li quor business be required to pay a li cense pf 81,200 per annum for the privilege. This virtually closes the business to all dealers in tho county, except in incorporated towns, as the jury has full power in tho premises. If similar steps could bo taken with reference lo carrying concealed wea pons wo would soon witness a belter state of public morals among our peo ple. Tho Grand Jury deserve the thanks of the people for this long stiido in tho right direction. ?Subscribe for the Democrat. Tho Campaign. Our Stale exchanges report county after county falling iuto line.and en tering the campaign with full ranks and a united party. In a few sections local troubles seemed at one timo to threaten division in the ranks of the party and lndependenlism as an in evitable result, but these troubles have becu adjusted and perfect har mony now reigns throughout the I Slate. Pure Democracy is the con I trolling principle, straight-out candi dales for otlice is the ruling policy, and no compromise with Republican ism or tampering with galvanized Radicals is the pass-word of this cam paign. In view of the opposition to be met and the great importance ol success to the Democracy and the well being of the Stale, the campaign should be short, sharp and decisive. To consumalc Ibis end every Demo crat, while or colored, must be at his post when the battle opens, not to lead but to follow, not to rule but to submit, not to command but to obey. In this spirit open the contest, with Ibis determination light it through and the victory will be as glorious as the strugglo was severe. In the battle let all be s'.akcd and upon its j issue let all be won or lost. Tho Moral Sublime. There are many instances on re cord of generous self-sacrifice in be half of others among the white race in every age of the world, but we know of none which excites more ele vated ideas of the moral sublime than the noble act, recently witnessed in Charleston, of the three colored men who gave up their lives without hesi tation in an attempt to save a friend. Such an instance of heroic daring de serves the highest commendation from every intelligent man, and we ore glad the citizens of Charleston have given a tangible proof of their appre ciation of the doed by subscribing liberally to a fund for tho benefit of j the families of these brave men. Few j persons, even in the most refined state of society, mveh less among the colored people, can so far forget all selfish interest as to devote their ! lives to the salvation of another. The spirit that dares such deeds must surely be the prompting of inflexible principles. ?.-o > -3- ? o?- - ? Another Veto. President Hayes returned to Con gress the Deficiency Hill with his veto attached. The ground taken is that tlse bill contains general legisla tion to alter cxj^Ul'g laws. The.in tention of the veto ra evidently to de feat the proviso which requires the special deputy marshals for elections I to be appointed by the -Judges of the i United Stales Court in equal numbers from tho two political parties. l>y this act, President Hayes gives an additional proof that he is nothing !but the wretched tool of a mean par it 3*. .It is thought that Congress will embody the proviso in a distinct and separate bill and thus avoid the pre sent objections to the measure. It is ! not the intention, however, of the Republicans to allow a measure so ; fair in its provisions to pass. Other j specious objection will be brought forward by the parly and other pre test found for Mr. Hayes to veto the j independent bill. We shall see. Gen. Gary. While Gen. Johnson Hagood is our choice for Governor, we admire ihe manly position taken by Gen. M. W. Gary before the Ktlgefield Democrat ic County Convention in reference to independent candidates. When the Convention meets and decides who is u> be our standard bearer no man will work harder for the success of the ticket than M, W. Gary. He has put himself square on Ihe record, ami with him there is no turning back. Married. On the } Ith of April, 1880, by the Rev. Ji S. llayden, Mr. J. P. Rolen, of Ornngcburg County, to Miss J. A.

I HARD TIMES BE CONE! -V TT AVING been watching for some JLJL time pnfitt tho financial pulse of the country ami the ever varying events of tho trading world with a view to the in crease or decretive our weekly purchases, we are prepared to announce to our num erous patrons that our Investigation of! these subjects bus been perfectly satisfac tory und that we have as a consetpu neu forwarded larger orders than ever be fore to our New York agency. Tho year 1S8? therefore begins with llatlering prospects for farmers, mechan ics and idl other laborers alike. The financial pulse of the country is steadily improving and having returned alinosl to a huru money basis, wo shull gradu ally but Mirely recoyer our former pres tige and the so long declining prosperity of our beautiful Southern land. Being (irmly impressed with the fore-shadow lllgs of these approaching events we have made arrangements commensurate with the demands they will disclose. Our Agent in New York is already in receipt of our instruct ions directing id in to be on the alert for every sale and fail ure as well as eve'"V house tottering on tho brink of bankruptcy, so that he. with cash ill hand may take in every bargain and thus enable us during the present year not only to increase our own re sources, but, to become also a never changing source of assistance t<> our friends by selling them goods far below the wholesale market of New York. It was the credit system that paralyzed our Industries ill the phst and caused so many interests to droop and witiier while every arliele needed for family consump tion doubled in value. Thus while labor was inadequately compensated, goods ot every description approached almost fab ulous prices and the daily sweat Ol a man's brow barely obtained for himself and family the commonest necessaries of life. Too much credit will always create demands greater than the sources of sup ply will satisfy, bonce everything takes sin upward tendency under its operations. Oil the other hand cash transactions will make the supply larger thau the demand and consequently goods fall to bottom prieos when I hi* rub: prevails. We long ago adopted this system and find that it works splendidly in all its hearings. If you follow it 3-ou will be sure never to buy what you do not want, and in this way keep you from the iron clutches of debt. We paj' cash lor all our goods before they h ave the place bought from. Hence our ability (independent of our unrivaled facilities for buying) to outstrip and un dersell all nur competitors. The mer chant who buys on time, (and who ot theill doesn't) not only has to pay the high est prices for what /hey gel but also the a Idilional percentage added on all credit stiles. Now ail this comes out of tho con sumer, the man who patronizes the time merchant at home. It will at once be perceived thai the dillercncu between us is vast indued, and that the buyer on credit system cannot purchase goods at market prices, w hile we. by paying cash, get the most extraordinary bargains at a large discount oil wholesale cash prices, it is therefore quite easy lor us io sell below oiher merchants and guarantee perfect satisfaction in every case. Our system is one of our own. and has man}- advantages which we shall not ex plain, but let it sufllu* thai the larger portion of the benefits arising from il are reaped by our friends and patrons, and } by il we have established n reputation near and dear to us. With honesty, fair dealing, quick sabs and .-mall profits as our watchwords we have conquered the demon of high pi ices and forced from him the acknowledgement that he has been systematically swindling and de 1 lauding the people. VYe have demonstrated to thousands in this and other counties that it is pos sible when dealing with a fair and honor able merchant who buys strictly for cash, to purchase goods at prices which were current before the war. To buy and sell goods does not necessarily imply that to [ bo successful one must either be a con scienceless extortioner or a ^rasping j Shylock, as in every other calling tin; merchant can dignity and ennoble his j profession or he can sink it into iniquity I and trail its courtly garments through cesspools of deceit, dishonesty, fraud and double distilled misrepresentations. He can be a blessing or a curse to bis coun try. As lor us we prefer a good name with a slow but steady Increase inbnsi licss lo the gouging process which makes one merchant rieb to-day mid a thousand poor farmers penniless and brcadless to morrow. Ours is the true plan, by adopting it you avoid the Scylla of credit on the one side and the < .'haryhdis of a lein execu tion on tin; other. To trade with us is to insure satisfaction, increase your wealth and general prosperity. Week alter week during ilie present year wo shall spread daily upon our counters a stock I of goods as varied as the leaves of the forest. A cordial invitation is extended ; to every one who reads this circular t?? j give us a call, no trouble to show goods 1 or answer questions. I We will sell tor one dollar cash what I you will pay three lor in October if you I buy on credit. We DUy direct from the cheapest markets in America lor cash less the large discount, ami can and will sell as low as the wholesale merchants of Charleston, New York or Baltimore, and to those who favor us with their reg ular custom we oiler us rare inducements as were ever ottered in this or any other community. Our goods arrive weekly and must be sold, look to your interest and call on us when you visit town. Farmers, look to your own welfare-, I you who have sunk low and lower each succeeding year while the middle men j around you have grown rich in comforts ami wealth, you have barely lived bv I working from sun to sun the j'car round, while others have added thousands to I their already plethoric treasures, by sell ing on credit to you in the spring and j collecting in October and Nobcmber the ! sweat stained profits of mail}' a merciless bargain. Let our fanners eschew this ill future and learn to watch as well as [ pray?let ihein break from the old beaten [ paths of credit and ruin, and demand an 'equivalent for their money. Let them aspire lo higher and greater achieve ments than can ever be accomplished on a credit basis. bet them become more prosperous citizens of our good old coun ty .by trying a little financiering them selves. Is it not their right? To this end we therefore cordially in I vitu our friends to give us frequent calls and we ?uaratilee t hat not one hi a thous and w ill ever leave our counters diSSntis lied.
