4 MODEL MEETING.
Cuffee at q Township Meeting-Th he
Why and Wherefore OF Burying-
Ground-Divcrs Radicals Expla N
their Position. :
[rRox AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT


ORANGEBuRG, S. c., October 4.
May trouble you with an account of the
last meeting of Zion Township, Orangeburg
District, or, rather "Keounty,n so-called? The
meeting was for the purpose OF deciding
whether there should be township burying-
ground or not. Very early on the morning of
Thursday last, Cufee, with few of his white
brethren, and some Of the respectability Of the
township, had assembled for the purpose. I
had no idea Sambo was in so much earnest
ness about a place to be buried; but as his
forty acres and mule have not appeared yet,
he seems to have given up all hopes in that d.
rection and whitfield down his agrarian ideas to
six by three. The meeting bade fair to be
quiet one indeed, until one of the property
holders opposed it on the ground that there
were enough burying-grounds already, when
several darkies, in long speeches, told of
''rebs who had been planting cotton and corn
over de dead bodies of de great colored race"
that ''de white man felt very little interest, as
do was established in de land by the labor of
dat mighty people; but how would it be when
white man would want place to he buried"
About this time white man, "so-called," fol-
lowed with what he called speech, less SEN
sible, by far, than the speeches of the ne
groes who had preceded him. But to make
the matter short, Cufee got the land and no
mule, when the meeting came to close.
Just before this, a carriage came up with ma
hogany colored individual, one white man,
and an unadulterated negro, who pretended
that they understood there was mass meet
ing of the citizens, and had come to make
speeches. So they began to speak-mahogany
colored taking the lead. II seemed he
was alarmed, fearing that votes would be lost
by heavy taxation, &C., but Sambo was
soon satisfied on that subject, when he
was told that the tax was to pay for the cor
ruption of their former rulers, who had
squandereed the public money, &c. Next the
self and great ancestors, who all no doubt
fought, bled and died for republicanism; but
he forgot to say that he wished Seymour and
Blair elected, and wrote letter to Demo-
cratic club that he was Democrat, (at the same
time being q candidate on the Radical ticket }
This part of his history his friend and brother
has not been informed Of His purpose at the
meeting was to define his position, as certain
articles in the papers had made him unpopu-
lar. This was very easily accomplished by
telling them of your statement of the cotton
crop of 1868, in which an estimate of the num-
Der of dollars per head was given. The ques-
ton was asked: "Did you get your share?"
oNow "nom was the reply from his sable au-
dience. No doubt he thinks he has claim
himself.
trust in God there is day of reckoning
ahead-the poiiticul OF .ha, already boiled to
Its highest, and the scum is being thrown
over. REBELLIs.

THE CUBAN PRITATEER.

/ WILMINGTON, October S.
This morning the case of the Cuban priva-
teer was carried before General Allan Ruther-
ford, United States Commissioner of the Dis
trict of Cape Fear. Judges Person and French
appeared for the government, and Geo. Davis,
ESQ.,, and Judge o. P. Meares for the defend
ants. The parties were arraigned on the
charge that they did accept and exercise a
commission 10 serve foreign people in war,
to wit: the people of Cuba against the people
of Spain, country with which the United
States are at peace, and did tit out
and arm, or did procure to be fitted
fitted out and armed within the limits Of the
United States, a certain ship or vessel called the
Cuba, with intent that the said vessel shall be
employed in the service of the people Of Cuba
10 cruise and commit hostilties against the
people of Spain, and did enlist and serve on
board of said vessel, with intent to cruise and
commit hostilities against the people OF Spain,
in violation of the statutes Of the United
States, and the acts Of congress of April 20,
1870 The government pressing the matter,
the parties were not required to give bonds
for their appearance, but were placed in the
custody of the United States Marshal, Nef, who
released them on parole on their personal as
surance that they would not attempt to leave.
The counsel for the government made the
point that the vessel had been fitted out in the
United States, as charged in the indictment,
to cruise and commit hostilities against
a government with which the United States
are at peace, and to make it prira
tdcie case they asked for continuance to
allow time to secure the presence of witnesses
for the government from New York and Wash
ington. Counsel for the defendants opposed
the motion for continuance, contending that
the United States had no right to hold them
as the vessel was commissioned by regular
ly organized government, the Republic Of
Cuba; that she put into Smithville in distress,
and that it was contrary to the laws of nations
to detain her. Commissioner Rutherford de-
decided that 1t was a prinG tdcie case, and
granted the government until Monday, the
llth instant, at II o'clock, to produce wit
nesses.

rrRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT ~

10. FLORENCE, S. c., Octvber 4.
The dearth of sensational news is rather
favorable sign for our immediate community.
Up to this year, since the war ended, we were
continually in commotion about some exciting
subject, generally detrimental to the welfare of
our section. But 80 has been, thus far, char
acterized by greater industry and quiet, better
feeling and order, and more encouraging hope
than any period since December, '65.
The cotton crop Of this SECTION is about as
large as it was last year, except that the rust
has caused 1t to open earlier, and consequent
ly to be thrown upon the market in larger
quantities than usual for this season. Not over
half of q corn crop will be realized this year,
and this. with very short potato and pea crops,
will necessitate the expenditure OF large part
of the proceeds of the cotton crop for corn.
Nearly all the bacon consumed in this vicinity
has still to be bought, as we have not yet been
able, with security, to risk the effort to raise
and sssaye our bacon" Hands have ,oorked
better this year than since they were freed,
and stealing has not been SO common.
The health of our community has been un-
usually good this year, but though death has
not come so frequently, taxes have come more
heavily and unrelentngly. The tax ofncers
are still gorglng at Darlington.
We had little excitement the other day in
the trial of SANDER case, before P. G. Fludd,
colored magistrate. The suit was brought by
Loyns against Strauss, both merchants, and
although the amount was small, Colonel Sey-
mour, of Charleston, and Colonel Warley, Of
Darlington, were engaged as counsel in the
case The crowd was SO great to hear these
distinguished gentlemen, that the magisterial
court had to be adjourned to larger hall. The
Jury gave damages in the sum of s4S, and l
hear an appeal was taken.
must not forget to announce the burning
near here of Mr. Robert McKenZie's turpentine
still, with about $4,000 worth of turpentine and
rosin. and two or three small buildings total
loss about s25OO. Cause, accidental. Mr. Nc
KenZie is one Of our staunchest citizens, and
has the sympathies Of the community. There
was no insurance. PREssLEf.
