We have received the mammoth week

Little Rock, Arkahsas, by Messrs. Jones
d Buchanan, and give it hearty well
come to our table.
We extract from its editorial column
the following, as characteristic of its tone
and ability.
The article is headed "Univer sal Suf-
frage and is well-written and suggestive:
"The white resident citizens of the
country owe it to themselves individually
and to the country collectively, to exert
all influence and control over the colorad
people, that their numbers, wealth and
position give them the right and oppor-
sunity to exercise. In order to accomp-
lish this successfully, the doctrine and
fact of universal suffrage must be dis
tinctly and unequivocally conceded and
accepted. 1t is foolish and suicidal in
the extreme to pursue an opposite course
Too much false pride and mawkish SEN
timentality have already been expended
on this subject, for the good of the
people and the welfare of the State. We
must learn to be more practical, and
take things as we find them wisely seek.
ing to convert everything to our use
and benefit, rather than be forever re-
peating the old human folly of "cutting
off the nose to spite the face"
Universal amnesty, will soon follow
the general acquiescence in universal
suffrage,-in fact the speediest way to
secure the former is to adopt the Inter,
and hence they both go together in the
more practical and liberal platform of
all those who accepting the results of
the war and the great facts of history,
look forward hopefully and trustingly to

of adversity and oppression that now
lower above US, will break into blessings
upon our heads"

A Thrilling Incident.
ANlICUS.

The following incident is extracted
from very interesting paper in Bent
ley's Miscellany, entitled "Hours in Hin
doostan." The cobra copclla is said to
be one of the most venomous species of
scrpcuts in the East, his bite being at
tended by almost instant death:
We had been PLAYING all the evening

Maxby, who was always lucky, had won
5 consecutive bumpers, which lent self
satisfied smile to his countenance, and
made us losers anything but pleasant,
when he suddea sAaaged countenance
and hesitated to play. This the more
surprised us since he was one who sell

of the game that he deemed long con
s!dcration supcrfuous.

Poor Maxby was dressed as many old
residents still dress in India, namely.
breeches and silk stockings. Therefore
he more plainly felt every movement OF
the snake. His countenance assumed a
livid hue; the words seemed to leave his
mouth, without features altering their
position, so rigid was the look, so fear

movement should alarm the serpent and
hasten his bite.

own during the scene.

The Orangeburg News.

In late editorial of the Charleston
Daily Ne,cs under the heading of ga
State Press Association" the following
paragraph occurs:
a0f established Republican papers in
South Carolina there are, We believe, but
two--THE ORANaEBURa News and the
Darlington Southerner, and this last we
class as Republican more on account of
its tone and temper here of late than of
any formal profession of party faith"
Then according to ''the unstable
Neacs" there is in South Carolina, but
one paper that is unequivocally and pro-
fessedly Republican, and that paper is
The ORANaEBURa News.
How conspicuous this makes tho
ORANGEBURa News! Certainly occu-
pying this conspicuous place among the
papers of the State we can afford to talk
sometimes about ourselves.
Without glorying in the conspicuous
position assigned us, by the Mcus, which
we know we do not occupy--and attribu-
ting only charitable motives to that pa
per, of course, in making the statement,
we ask the indulgence of our readers,
while we attempt to state clearly what
is the political creed of our paper.
We have explained SO often the course
which this paper deems best for our peo-
pie to take, that we fear to become tire
some but it is due to ourselves that we
be rightly understood and we ask indul-
gence and IL hearing.
In the outset we make the statement
whatever may be the political views of
the Editor or Editors of a paper-pro-
vided that paper publishes that any COM
municaaion of whatever political faith
sent to its Office will be published and
treated with courteous respect-then
that paper should be regarded as gene
raj, a liberal and conservative paper.
In other words while extending to all
the privilege of publishing their views
in its columus-thc paper simply re-
serves the same privilege to its editorial
columns. -.

~~--
All must admit the truth of this
statement, as regards the general princi-
pie, and the course of the ORANGEBuRa
News.
One other statement we make, and ask
in all fairness that it be admitted, that
it the politics of a paper are to be deter
mined by its editorial articles, that those
articles be read without prejudice and
they be taken in connection one with
another, so as to form clear and tlue
opinion Of their policy and character.
Now we contend that while the politi-
cal editorials of this paper have had
political, complexion different from the
views SO long entertained in this State,
yet that they have been upon the higher
plane Of theory and have not descended
to partisanship.
If our views differ from those of ex-
tremc Democracy, still they are honest
and true.
IF our principles differ frem those old
prejudices which men have cherished SO
long as to regard them as principles
still ours are principles-things, not to
be bought or sold.
Indulge US while we recount the chief
and salientpoints, in the editorials of our
paper, which have been new to old-old
habits of thought with our people, and
which have been denomnated Radical
So habituated had our people become
to the belief in the right of slavery, that
it sounded new to them, that "not the
Republican party nor the Northern peo.
pie but the progress Of civilization had
extirpated and abolished slavery" The
idea of the emancipation and elevation
of the black man, advocated by WILDER.
force and entertained by the whole OF
England, was tolerably an old notion
when it was borne over the Atlantic
Ocean and was proclaimed in this coun.
try. The Southern people blinded by
interest--their property in Slaves-were
startled by the annunciation that this
was the great, the denominating idea Of
the age, which civilization demanded OF
them. Of course they opposed it, op.
posed its logic, its philosophy, and de.
termined TO become champions of slave
ry. Seeing it was doomed in the Union
the Southern leaders, said "Eisk every.
thing, rather than give up our aiiiioai
of slaves, secede from the Union! Fight
for your property" 1t is said that "ii
