Notes. ?A Western Republican paper says iL '.'isn't opposing Grant's nomi nation," luit merely calls attention to the fact that he was t]?e head of tho worst gang of thieves known in his tory. ?To go back to. Grant would bo for the Republican party to assert that it made a mistake when it nomi nated Hayes, that all its reform reso lutions uerc false pretences, and that it wauls a return of tho old times when bummers wore at the front, and jobbery nourished. ?Mr. Hayes was once an obscure member of Congress, and jt never occurred to him when in Congress that political riders were improper. He voted for all that his party brought forward while ho held a seat in the House. But now such riders nie -very vicious things in his mind. He has repudiated his own record in order lo help his party. ?Our Republican friends have now a capital opportunity to prove the sincerity of thejr friendship for the colored roan and brother by giving ihe colored Senator the second place on the Presidential ticket. He wants it?which js more than can bo said of some Qlber Republican states men?and as his race provides a largo percentage of the party's voters it is only lair that he should have it. ?Eaton, a little town in Gibson county, Tcnn,, boasts a citizen who is postmaster, mayor, justice of the peace, Sunday-school superintendent, newspaper correspondent, worshipful mnstcr in tho masonic lodge, elder in the church, leader ol the choir, cotton speculator, extensive farmer, deals largely in thoroughbred chickens, impoits line grades of wheat, runs a reaper and thieshcr, and is a profes sional mule trailer. ?Floiida is not too young to have an utterly obliterated city. St. Jo seph was once a thriving seaport, the terminus of a railrcad, a shipping p int for hundreds of thousands ol cotton bales annually, and the supply depot for the western section of the State. It lost \is commerce, dwin dled tepidly in population, was swept by yellow fever, and finally a tornado leveled the last of the houses. The place is now a wildcmets, ?An investigation into the influ ence of females in the public service of the United Slates, if pressed into personalities would be ihe biggest scandal this country ever had. But liiere is no fear of its taking place, and when it comes to he opened the defense need only write against tho wall in large letters: "Let him who is with out offense cast the fust stone," and thcic will never bo a full committee inised in that whole Cong i ess and Senate. ?The New York UcxalU thinks thai unless his opponents spur up con siderably Grant cannot lie headed off at Chicago, while unit-Grant papers, experiencing the delightful sei.salion of having a candidate stuffed down their throats by negro rabbles in Ihe Southern States, h?tetly suggest that the Republican ijoimna ion should bo lelt to those Slates that will do the toting. Tbe Fifteenth Amendment is coming home to roosl with a venge ance. ?The "Confederate Brigadiers" cheerfully vote millions annually out of ihe pockets of I heir own people to pay pensions and arrearages and sup port homes ibr ihe soldiers who tri umphed Over them in the war of the rebellion. But, when it it??proposed to pension the Mexican veterans the Republican party solidly opposes the proposition, because they fought in a Democratic war, and for the further reason that many of them reside in the South. ?The Sotilh asks for a President whose heart, if not in thorough sym pathy with all tho aspirations of her people will contain a warm place for them. One who has faith in their professions of fidelity lothe Constitu tion nnd tho laws. One who recog nizes their '-equal rights" as citizens of the great republic, and icspects their '?reserved rights," as citizens of their respective states?can the South doubt that Baycnl, whoso little bor der commonwealth is itself merged in the communion of the "Solid South/' will meet all those requirements? ?Post Master General Key, who erred from the Democratic faith and accepted a Cabinet appointment un der Mr. Hayes, has made a good officer. Ha has been laughed at for his attempted reforms in the address on letters, nnd the change in the names of offices. But when one thinks of the thousand and ten thous ands of letters that miscarry, he will be ready to sympathise with Mr. Key in his work of Reform. Wo hope, wo may nevor have n worso officer or worse man at llio .head of the postal department than erring brother lvey. Tho funeral of Patrick Hoy, better known .as James Cooke, the clown and equestrian, J?te of Baruum's great show, was bold yesterday after noon. When-Mr. Cooke knew that ho was about to die ho wus asked b) tho priest who attended bin) to re nounce tho principles of Masonry, to I which ho bad been ardently attached I from his boyhood. IJc refused to do this, saying that Masonry was as 'good a religion lo dio by as the Cath olic faith. Jn requested that none bul j Masonic coienioniies should bo held j over his body, and his request was ! fulfilled to the letter.' ?Allen Thurman, Jr., a son of the Senator, says: *'My father wants uone of tho complimentary business. He is going inio tho Cincinnati Con vention to make a square tight, to either win or lose. There is no doubt that Tilden and Payne have formed a combination to beat us, but 1 don't think they will succeed. Il is hardly fair. It is just as father said when be was last in Washington. No man in Ohio in either party can rise in the slate of national political prominence about three feet three without a num ber of tho envious members of his party make an attempt to cut oil his legs."_ United. Notwithstanding an occasional as jscrlion to the contrary, we believe 'the Democratic party is stronger to day, both National nnd State, than at any period since tho war. The or ganization is more complete and com pact, the management less open to criticisms, the leaders enjoy in n greater degree the confidence of the people, and the people themselves are more determined and of nepessily belter tutored in party allegiance than at any previous campaign since parly fealty has been felt to be a ne cessity. There must of necessity be some friction at times in its workings, it would bo a miracle if there were 1 not, but not sufficient to interfere ma ? terially with the barmouy of the parts ; there will bo dissensions bul not of sufficient bitterness lo hazard the uni ty at piesent prevailing ; partisanship, because of favorite candidates, will, from time to lime, manifest Usch among the elements of the party; these, and like troubles, are to.be ex pected in every organized bpdy coin posed of elements representing every interest known to a progressive peo ple. There is, however, a central point in the great Democratic circle to which every interest will bo found converging, it mailers not what or how great may be the intervening , difficulties. Security of person and protection of property as found to oxi 1st in every well ordered government will always, draw to their support the honesty and intelligence from every . class in society ; and the greater these ate threatened, the more powerful will be the converging tendency of the various interests. Upon no theory can the present satisfactory condition of tho party bo accounted for than this. Centralization threatening Ihe overthrow of the time-honored princi ples of Republicanism, tinder winch Ihe growth of the nation has reached its present maturity, forces the na tional interest lo Ihe central point; whilst Radicalism at ihe South, with its domination ot vice over virtue, dishonesty over honesty, and igno ranee over intelligence stands as a hideous menace to Southern civiliza i tion driving the Stale to the protec tion of the persons and property of her citizens. Under the circumstances j who can wonder at the unity existing in the Democratic ranks? or who can fail to admire the devotion of our cit izens of every class lo principles which embody their own safety and tho hon or of the government they love? When the Convention meets in Cin cinnati and puts a national ticket in the Held, sectional division and con tention will be forgotten in tho com-! man welfare of tho whole country;: i and when the Stale and County Con ventions nominate their tickets, indi vidual dislikes and prejudices will give place lo Ihe hearty and earnest support of the parly's candidates. Every citizen feels the importance ol the issues involved in this campaign 1 and moans to do his whole duty in order that a successful end may be had to the contest. The spirit of unity between the various elements of the party so necessaiy for its success in tho fall, should bo fostered up to (he last moment. Tho victory of the National Democracy will be tlu end jof centralization, and the victory of I the State Democracy will be the death of Radicalism in South Caroli na. Emigration. According to the ratio of arrivals of foreigners during the past four months it is estimated that not less than 400, 000 immigrants will land upon our shores the present year. Tho desire lo better one's condition is doubtless ; the motive and the partially settled [condition of the affairs of America is tho inducement of this unparalleled emigration. This multitude of foreign ers is to bo distributed over the West and South, tho North and East being already crowded ; and it is but the in evitable .consequence of logictd rea soning to sny that when tho fertility of our soil, the salubrity of our cli mate, the large scope of country to be occupied, and the correct condition of our society, are known throughout the countries of Europe, a largo share of those who come here will find their wuy to the South whether invited to come or not. The occupation of the vast scope of land, lying idle in the Southern Stales at this moment, is but a question of time, and perhaps the nerr future will witness our land teaming with a working population, and growing great under tho influ ences of a diversified industry which is a nation's prosperity. It has got ten to bp airuost an axiom that no State can grow rich and powerful fol lowing a single pursuit. On the map of the world those people,who have ad vanced equally in the Ihreo great fac tors of national wealth, Manufactures, Agriculture and Commerce, are read ily recognized as a controlling nation : England and the Northern States of Ameiica arc types of these; while those who cultivate any one of these at the expense of the others are as easily seen to be the dependent na tions; Austria and our Southern States are types of these. The South should not he satisfied with her pres ent popdition ; her abundant resources of minerals, fertility of soil and water power should cause her people to ex pect a higher position and u more con trolling influence on this continent at least. This is evident from Iho tran sition state through which wc are passing. Already capital is being in vested in manufactures here, statistics indicate a large per cent, of increase in both grain and cotton and the ship and railroad combinations being form Oil prove that our people arc alive, enterprising and progressive. What the future before us is, time must de velop, but this tide of emigration is freighted with benefits to the South if her people will catch it on the Hood. Tho Convention. Perhaps one of the most harmoni ous political meetings ever held in the county was that which convened in the Court House last Saturday, the proceedings of which will be found in another column of this issue. Dele gates from every section of the coun j ty were here and seemed thoroughly imbued with the spirit of unity, indi cative of that political agreement which pervades the entire party.. This is certainly encouraging in view of the opposition to be met from the j Radical party during the campaign of J which this is the nu&picous opening. If we have correctly judged the senti ments of the people as represented by the delegations to this Convention, a Democratic triumph is already as sured for Orangeburg County. The only fear ever entertained was from Independcntism which might aiise from partisans of favorite candidates for the different county offices to be filled at the next election. More or less of this is to be expected, but from the complexion of this Conven tion the rancor of partisanship will not be carried to an extent sufficient ly far a9 to embarrass the party in the slightest degree. After nomina tions have been ouce marie, dissen sion will cease and every man will be found giving his cordial support to the ticket, it matters not what names may be upon it. No mere personal preferences of individuals will be al lowed to stand in the way of a com plete Democratic success. It is true that for a few positions there are several candidates in the field, but each one has signified his intention to abide by the nominations when made, and to work as earnestly for the suc cess of the ticket as if no disop oint ment had occurred. This is the true spirit of unity which means strength, and its continued cultivation will give the Democratic party an unlimited louse of power in Orangebnrg County. . . - mmt> ? t*m - ? The Knights of Honor. The Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Honor of the United States began its .annual session in Charleston on last Tuesday in the Masonic Temple. Thirty-two States were found, on call ing the roll of deb gales, to be repre sented, and the Lodge proceeded immediately to business. In the evening a grand reception was ex? tended to the visiting brethren by the Charleston Lodge, the (1 rand Lodge of the Stato and by the citizens of Charleston in the Hibernian Hall, the capacious room of which was crowded to its utmost capacity with members and citizens of the city and State. Appropriate addresses were made by Mayor Courleuay, Hon. M. A. Car lisle, of the State Lodge, and Su premo Dictator J. A. Cummings, of Boston, Mass. Row 10. J. Mcynar die, the orator for the occasion, deliv ered an excellent oration, giving the riso and progress of tho order during its short existence of sevon years. Tho usual excursion and sight seeing will be afforded these visitors, aiid it Is hoped the hospitality of the old city and the high character of those who receive it will work for tho mutual benefit of both.

The Sensation of the Period! ?ti'tnijuro l*ut; True I HARD TirViES BE GONE! -o HAVING been watching /for Homc time im-i the Hnnnclnl pulse of the country and the ever varying events of Ihu trading world wltli a view to the in crease or decrease our weekly purchases, we are prepared to announce to oor num erous patrons that our investigation of these subjects has been perfectly satisfac tory and that wo have as a consequence forwarded larger orders'than over be fore to our New York agency. The year 1SS0 therefore begins with llattentig prospects for fatuuers, mechan ics and nil other laborers alike. The financial pulse ot the country is steadily Improving and having returned almost to a hard money basis, wo shall gradu ally but tuirely recover our former pres tige and the so long declining prosperity of our beautiful Southern land. IJelng firmly Impressed with the forc-shudow ings of these approaching events we huve made arrangements commensurate with the demands they will disclose. Our Agent in New York is already in receipt ot our instructions directing him to be on the alert for every hale and fail ure as well as every house tottering on the brink of bankruptcy, so that he, with cash in 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 assistunco to our friends by celling them goods far below the wholesale market of New York. It was the credit system that paralysed onr Industries in the past and unused so many Interests to droop and wither while every article needed for family consump tion doubled hi value. Thus while labor was inadequately compensated, goods of every description approached almost fab ulous prices and thu daily sweat ot a man's brow barely obtained lor himself and family the commonest, necessaries of life. Too much credit will always create demands greater than the sources of sup ply will satisfy, hence everything takes mi upward tendency under its Operations. On tue other hand cash transactions will make the supply larger than i he demand and consequently goods fall to bottom prices when l|lls rule prevails. Wo long ago a opted this system and find ilint it works splendidly in all its bearings. If you billow it j'ou will be sure never to buy what you du not want, and in this Way keep you from the iron clutches of debt We pay cash lor all our goods before they leave the place bought from. Hence our ability (independent of our unrivaled facilities for buying) to outstrip and un dersell all our competitors. The mer chant who buys on time, (and who of them doesn't) not only has to pay the high est prices fur what (hey get but also the additional percentage added on all credit sales. Now all this comes out of the Con sumer, the man who patronizes the time merchant at home. It will at once be perceived that the. difference between us is vast indeed, and that the buyer on credit system cannot purchase goods a.t market prices, while wc. by paying cash, I ?ret the most extraordinary bargains tit a large discoui.t Oil wholesale cash prices. It Lis therefore quite easy lor us to sell below other merchants and guarantee perfect satisfaction hi every case. Our system is one of our own, and has many advantages which we shall not ex plain, bullet it sii flle? that the larger portion of the benefits arising from it are reaped by our friends and patrons, and by it we have established a reputation near and dear to us. With honesty, fair dealing, quick sales and small profits as our watchword* we have conquered the' I demon of high, prices and forced frcpi him the acknowledgement that he littSj been systematical?y swindling and de-1 frauding the people. We 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 be successful one must either be u con scienceless extortioner or a gr/asping Shylock. us in every other calling the merchant can dignify and ennoble hl3 profession or he can sink it into iniquity and trail its courtly garments through cesspools of deceit, dishonesty, fraud and double distilled misrepresentations. He ' can be a blessing or a curse to his coun try. As for us we prefer a good name with a slow but steady increase in busi lie?fl to the gouging process which makes one merchant rich to-day und a thousand poor lanners penniless and breadless to morrow. Ours is the true plan, by adopting it you avoid the Scylla of credit on. the one side and the. Charybdls of a lelu execu tion on the other. To trade with us is to insure satisfaction, increase your wealth and general prosperity. Week alter week during the present year we shall spread daily upon our counters a stock of goods as varied as the leaves of the forest. A cordial invitation Is extended to every one who reads this circular to give us a e?H, no trouble to show goods or answer questions. We will sell lor one dollar cash what you will pay three for in October if you buy on credit. Wc Duy direct from the cheapest markets in America for cash less the large discount, and can and wi,ll 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 as rare inducements as were ever offered in Ulis or any other community. Our goods arrive weekly and must bo sold, iook t?> your interest and cull on us when you visit town. Farmers, look to your own welfare, you who have sunk low and lower each succeeding year while the iniu?ie men around you have grown rich in comforts and wealth, you have barely lived by working from sun to sun the year round, while others have added thousands to their already plethoric treasures, by sell ing oil credit to you in the spring and collecting in October and Nobember the sweat stained profits of many a merciless bargain. Let our fanners eschew this in future and learn to watch as well us pray?let I hem break from the old beaten pains of credit and ruin, and demand an equivalent for their money. Let them aspire to higher and greater achieve ments than can ever be accomplished on a credit basis. Let them become more prosperous citizens of our good old coun ty by trying a little financiering them selves. Is it not their right? To Ibis end we therefore cordi illy in vite our friends to give us frequent ealls and we guarantee that not one In a thous and will ever leave our counters dissatis fied. Respectfully yours, C. D.
