To the Editors Of the Ne,cs:
The Democratic Club Of Orangeburg met at
the courthouse on Monday last, the 4th inst
The meeting was called to order by the Presi-
dent, and the members proceeded to business.
On motion Of Dr.. O'Cain, a representative OF
each precinct was sppointed to nominate DIS
trict officers. The committee thus appointed,
comprising about eighteen, then retired, and
in the course of half hour reported the fol-
lowing as the names Of the Democratic candi-
dates:
For Sheriff.. ". q. Dukes, present in
cumbent.
Judge of Probate.-CoI. J. b. Morgan.
Clerk Of Court. F. Robinson, present in
cumbent.
Coroner. Luther Ransdale.
County Commissioners s-Henry Livingston,
NJ. J. Keller, James Stokes.
School COMMISSIONS E. Wannamaker.
About dozen negroes were in attendance,
who, judging from the expressions Of their
countenances, regarded the speakers with
contempt, and the meeting as only pitiable
effort Of party struggling to maintain itself
in the last stages Of it's existence.
The representative from the burnt district
is now closely ensconced at Orsngeburg
in the domicil Of his confrere, James Mays,
the Radical candidate for representative, and
who was deposed for deficiency as member
Of the board Of registration. Randolph is

but never walks out without body-guard.

Advantages of Understanding

To the Editors Of Lhe Daily Ne,us:
It is possible that some Of the best highland
soils may not need artificial drainage, but, as q
general rule, most all high, as well as low
land, does require it, and every farmer should
prepare for the thorough systematic under
drainage of his whole farm. The advantages
are great in many ways. Land, when
thoroughly drained, may be worked at almost
any time, the owner not being compelled to
wait until the best time for planting or culti-
vating is past. Crops may be planted early,
and sometimes doubled from this cause alone.
Less labor win manage the farm, as there will
be less time lost in wsiting for the water to
flow of. Drainage very effectually prevents
all injury from draught, because it the soil
does not become soaked and muddy it keeps
mellow, and does not bake hard. The soil
thus being always mellow allows water to pene-
trate it freely, and promotes rapid growth OF
CROPS. It admits the thorough admixture OF
manures through the mellowed mass, and it's
effects are thus much increased. The soil,
from its porous character, is better conduc-
tor Of heat, and the roots of plants are less
liable to injury by freezing in winter.
It is very frequently announced in the news
papers that wheat and other small grain have
been winter killed; this is caused from imper-
feet draining. Drained soils do not heave By
frost, and plants are not thrown out by freez-
ing, nor are they liable. to injury BY frost at
my time.
Rain water should not be allowed to run off
from the surface of the land at any time, nor
will it if the land is properly prepared with
under drains. When water falls from the clouds
it will Immediately sink to the drains, and the
surplus will soon be discharged through them,
leaving in the land the heat and fertihzing
qualities contained in rain water, which is food
for plants and very beneficial to their growth.

PROBABILITY OF PRESIDENT JoHSsoH's AoQUIT-
TAI-sENAToR FEssENpEN PREPARES AN ARaU-
MRNr AGAINST CONVICTION.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald, writing on Monday last, says:
Certain facts have come to light to-day which
settles beyond doubt the result Of the impeach-
ment tria, and which show that the President
will surely be acquitted. Senator Fessenden,
who has all along been suspected by the Radi-
calls as doubtful, has, to use the language OF
q Radical senator, ''gone clean over to the
enemy" He has prepared an elaborate legal
opinion, covering some twenty-five foolscap
pages, on the first three articles OF impeach-
ment. The substance OF this opinion ls that
he does not think the evidence produced
before the Senate by the managers suffi-
cient to establish the charges alleged against
the President in these articles, and he
win therefore be compelled to vote for his ac-
ouittal on them. Senator Morrill,, the COL
league OF Mr.. Fessenden, hearing of this, pre-
pared an opinion on the other side, which ne
took to MIR. Fessenden's rooms and read to
him, with view OF meeting his objections.
Mr.. Fessenden, after hearing Mr.. MorriI's ar
pument. said he was not convinced, and saw
no reason to change his views as set forth In
the opinion he had prepared. He further Sig
nifed to Mr.. Morrill, that he didnot think the
President could be Justly convicted on any Of
the articles brought to the bar OF the Sen
ate by the managers. Several other Repub-
lican senators here have prepared similar opln-
ions to that Of Mr.. Fessenden. Senator
Grimes stated openly to-day that he had
neither seen nor heard anything SO far that
would Justify him in voting for conviction, and
at the close Of Mr.. Bin9ham's speech to-day
he expressed his opinion that it was as good
an argument as he had heard for the. Presi-
dent. It is conceded by the most Radical MEM
bers Of the Senate and House that Mr.. Fessen-
den will carry with him enough Republican
senators to acquit the President by hand
some majority. In view Of this new develop
ment there is fearful demoralization in the
ranks of the Republicans tonight, They vlr-
tually give up the case. Many Of them openly
a,...Jse Mr.. Fessenden, and those who it is
knawn will act with him, with having been
bought. In addition to Mr.. Morrill,, several OF
the Maine delegation in the House have been
to see Fessenden, but they report him to be
ine1orable and have finally given him up.
Various causes are assigned by the Radicals
for Fessenden's course. One story Is to the
effect that new party is to be formed, OF which
Chase will be the head, and in which Fessen-
den. Grimes, Henderson, Trumbull, Anthony
and Others will be the shining lights. This
party will, it is said, nominate Chase for the
Presidency on what will be called the "People'e
ticket" and run him against Grant. have
received these facts at a late hour, and have
no chance to verify them to q certainty, but
they seem to come from reliable source.

~BITTERS.-THE HUMAN STOMACH
seems to require q tonic stimulant- From the time
whereof the memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary, tonic bitters have been used. Formerly men
made their own bitters, and few thought Of eating
breakfast without Srst taking their "tansy." Those
were days, however, when prohibitory laws were un-
known, and, in consequence liquors were pure.
Dealers could then afford to be honest and sell moth
ing but the unadulterated. Now. however, what
with government tax and court fines, pokeberry
Juice and alcohol must pass muster for ''old rye"
and "pure bourbon" People have come to fear
poisoning more than maarial diseases and dropped
their ..tansy." Right here is where HosrETTER &
SMITH, Of Pittsburg, have proven benefctors.
Years ago they commenced the manufacture Of HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERs, laying it down as
rule that has since been conscienhously followed,
to use nothing but the purest liquors, manufactured
expressly for them. BY strict adherence to this rule
they have won public confidence and reaped their
reward in large, profitable and steady business.
Their BITTERS is known all over the country.
They are pioneers Of the business and have the lar
pest manufac,ory in the world. Nor has success in
their case as in too many instances, rendered them
careless their Bitters is pure and good to-day as
was the first distillation. We heartily recommend
them as ionic.

patton, nervousness, general debility. and rcmittent
and intermittent fevers, its efficacy has ney,r been
