Palmetto Orphan Home.

The establishment of this institution in the
city Of Columbia seems placed beyond perad-
venture. The idea originated with Rev. Til
man R. Gaines, editor of the Working Chris
tian, and he has labored assiduously to accom-
plish the end in view At present, the Home
will occupy one or more cottagesin Hurleyville,
and orphans are being received A competent
lady has been engaged as Matron. The Home
is dependent upon voluntary contributors for
its support, and from every part of the State
welcome assistance in money and provisions
has been rendered to Bro. Gaines. When the
funds will admit, large numbers of orphans
will find fostering care and advantages in the
Home. Indeed, there are scores ready to enter
the institution when the means is placed at the
disposal of the managers. The subject appeals
to the philanthrophy. of every individual, and
especially those in favored circumstances, who
have never been deprived Of the tender care
and affectionate attention of kind parents
Let the contributions go forward to this meri-
torious purpose, Gas God hath prospered." In
this connection, we will state that Rev. E. d.
Buckner is canvassing the State in behalf of
the Palmetto Orphan Home, and proposes to
lecture in the Baptist Church at this place en-
next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock. We trust
there will be q full attendance Of our citizens
gcue-ally on that occasion.

The Weather and Crops.

The days have been hot and dry for the last
week, with exceedingly cool nights and morn
ings. 1t is general complaint that cotton is
not coming up satisfactorily. The cold nights
affect the plant most seriously, and we have
been told by farmers from various portions of
the County shat cotton already up is dying
rapidly. Others are engaged in re-planting,
where they failed to get stand, but the scar
city of cotton seed will compel many to plant
corn, instead of re-planting cotton. The wheat
and oat crops give promise of an abundant
Weld, so fer as we can ascertain.

pond at Pendleton Factory on Sunday morning

boys, George went in bathing, and after re-

tackled with sudden cramp. Before assistance
could be rendered, the lifeless form sunk to rise
no more. George was bright, promising and
intelligent youth, and his death will be sincere
ly regretted by the numerous friends of his
family. He was in the 18th year of his age,
and was employed in mercantile establish
ment at Pendleton.

sg The accommodating fighting editor
of this establishment was interviewed several
times during the past week. When the visi-
tors glanced at his splendid physique, they
concluded that fighting was not in their line
and sorrowfully retired in good order. One
noted gentleman, all the-way from William

afronts put upon him. but the appearance of
our 6ghtist was sufficient. he immediately
apologized for coming on such an errand and
made tracks for homa We were disappointed
at the peaceful termination of the difficulty,
but twas eyerthus from childhood's hour we've

Independent Order of United Brethren.

Independent Order of United Brethren.
This. successor of the Union League has sue
ceeded in obtaining a foothold in Anderson
County, although it is rumored that many
prominent Radicals, both white and black. are
opposed to its introduction, believing that Sc
cret political organizations are injurious to- the
public veal. 1t appears, however, that n
Council of United Brethren has been organized
at Belton, with the following officers:
Local Preceptor-JoHas Brown, colored. .
First Vice Local Preceptor-William Rouse,
colosed.
Second Vice Local Preceptor-Charles Gam
BRILL colored.
Secretary-Warren D. Wilkes, white.
Treasurer-Elias Brown, colored.
1t is generally understood that the United
Brethren was originally intended to secure the
reelection of Gov Scott AS that individual
is no longer candidate, according to common
rumor, we suppose that the order will be ma
nipulated to further the ends of some other as
pirant for Gubernatorial honors. We have no
doubt that the United Brethren will play an
important part in the coming campaign, but
we trust there are sufficient honest, Independent
Republicans outside of the order To make
vigorous opposition to- the accomplishment Of
any unworthy ends by this secret cabal. 1t
was our hope that the day of secret political
bands had ended in South Carolina, and we
fail to grasp the necessity for this new bantling
unless the true solution lies in the fact that de-
signing politicians of the Radical faith are
driven to this as their only chance to maintain
control of the colored vote and work the wires
to their own satisfaction.
The Charleston Daily Republican, in contra
dieting certain statements of the Democratic
press, gives the following extracts from the
constitution of the United Brethren, which
throws some light upon the objects and purpo-
ses of the organization as contained in their
written declarations:
Object.-The objects of this order shall be to
preserve liberty and the Union of the United
States of America; to maintain the constitu-
ton thereof, and the supremacy OF the laws to
sustain the State and national government, and
assist in putting down their enemies to defend
free speech free ballot, without regard to
race, color sect or party, and to elect only hon.
est and reliable Republicans to all offices of
profit or trust in national, State and local gov
ernments, and to secure, by all peaceful and
lawful means, equal civil and political rights to
all American citizens.
Oath.--I do solemnly swear that will, to
the best of my ability, as true Republican,
aid in carrying out the object of the Indepenl-
dent Order of United Brethren, and that will
keep secret all lawful proceedings of the order,
so help me God.

JUDGE ORA correspondent of the Abbe-
Vile Medium says:
In these sad times, it is pleasing to be able
to speak in terms of just and truthful appreci-
alton of the character and services of public
functionary, and especially of high judicial
magistrate. In former and better days, the
high officials of the State, and particularly the
Judges, exacted by their eminent virtues the
willing tribute of popular respect and venera-
ton. The very presence of the judge inspired
respect for his Office and for the law, whose
minister he was. The law was administered
with ability and dignity. Innocence found q
sanctuary in the courts, and crime was scourged
with the rod of the law. Every citizen, the
low and the lofty, felt secure in his person and
his property-felt equally the protection of the
law. The public peace was rarely broken, and
private security rarely invaded. The taxes
we're paid by the citizen as cheerful contribu-
ton to the Government that protected him,
and all pursued their avocations without mo.
lestation and without fear. 1t is believed that
the circuit of Judge Orr, one of the largest, if
not the largest in the State, is the only circuit
in which the public peace and private security
are preserved. Bad morals and bad passions
bitter fruits of the late unhappy war-have
been repressed, and confidence in the justice of
the courts and in the protection of the law has
been inspired 1t is unspeakable praise to
Judge Orr, that by mere peaceful agencies.
the interior magistrates and executive officers of
each County, and the firm yet gentle and i'm
partial administration of law itself from the
bench-the most absolute quietude has pre-
vailed in his circuit, and mild and wholesome
sense of security felt by the citizen, however
humble That this picture is life like, as we'll
in Abbeville as the other Counties, every citi-
zen M i feels to be true. That this happy and
peaceful condition of Abbeville is due to the
eminent talents, large attainments and vigorous
administrative abilities of Judge Orr, it were
shameless dispraise to deny.

The Result of the Cincinnati Convention.

The Result OF the Cl;lclnnat! convention.
The proceedings of the Liueral Republican
Convention heidi in Cincinnati last week., are
given as fully rs possible in our columns. TO-
day The complete repers- do not differ mate
rally from, the. telegraphie summary, and in
fact thelatter presents all, that is required to
comprehend the, entire work Of the Convention.
Ehe nomination of Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent has taken the country by surprise, and es
pecially is this astonishment manifested by the
Democratic press. His lifelong opposition to
the tenets and principles of the Democracy, to-
gether with his high protective record. renders
it extremely doubtful that the choice of the
Cincinnati Convention will be ratified by the
National Democratic Convention, which meets
in St. Louis on the 4th. of july. On the other
hand, the nomination. of Greeley has been
mildly received by the Republican press
throughout the country, and even the support
ers of Grant are not disposed to cast any slurs
upon either his Republicanism or honest in
tentions as the standard bearer of the opposi-
ton. His ability and integrity are conceded
on every side, while his popularity among the
Republican masses of the North make him a
dangerous opponent to the present administra-
ton. His kindly feelings as Republican
leader towards the South, and his constant, un-
wavering denunciatfons of the rascality and
peculations of Radical governments in the re-
constructed States, render him acceptable to
the Southern people, and so far as any express
sieu has been given, we are inclined to think
| that he will sweep the majority of the South
ern States, provided there is no Democratic
candidate in the field. Candor compels us to
say, however, that there is every probability at
present of full ticket being made up by the
Democracy when the National Convention is
convened. In that event, we regard it certain
that there will be no choice by the people, and
that the next election will go to the House of
Representatives, when the nominee of the
Philadelphia Convention will be chosen be-
yond doubt.
Had the Cincinnati Convention selected
Adams and Trumbull as their standard-bearers,
or even Trumbull and Gratz Brown, there
would have been no difficulty in controlling
the action of the Democracy. As the case
now stands, we are to witness triangular fight
for the Presidency, resulting in continuance
of the present regime in power. This conjec-
ture is made with the understanding that Gree
ley will not back down, and there is no intima-
tion to the reverse of this conclusion. The
events of the next two months may bring
about an entire change of the situation, but so
far as we are able to forecast the future, the
prospects for defeat of Grant and the extreme
Radicals are not we'll assured.

The Greenville and Columbia Railroad.

The Greenville and Columbia Railroad.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad was held
in the city of Columbia on Thursday last
There were 6S,S09 shares represented, which is
the largest number of shares ever represented
at meeting of the Company.
Gen. n. w. CARY, of Edgefeld, was called
to preside over the meeting, with c. v. Car
rington and James S. Simons as Secretaries.
The usual committees were appointed, and the
President and General Superintendent submit
ted their reports.
President Magrath, in his report, stated that
he could give very little comfort to the stock
holders, and still less to the bondholders; that,
upon taking charge Of the Road, he found its
material and financial condition very unsatis-
factory, and that heavy expenditures will he
necessary to place the Road in thorough repair.
With regard to the Laurens Railroad, he
doubted whether the purchase of that Road
was authorized, and recommended the stock
holders to consider the advantages of declining
to complete the purchase.
Superintendent Dodamead presented % de-
tailed report of the receipts and expenditures
for the past year, together with suggestions and
estimates as to the necessary repairs to place
the Road in safe, working condition, capable
Of meeting all the demands of an increased
business. The total receipts of the Road for
the. yea, was $457 l44.S0, an increase of S17,-
SO322 over the previous year. Expenses 80
per cent. and net earnings 20 per cent. of gross
receipts. His estimates for permanent repairs
and additional rolling stock required is $685.
900, which would place the Road in frst-class
condition, and reduce the average expenses to
so per cent. of the gross earnings. Unless this
expenditure is made as permanent additional
investment in property and rolling stock, the
gross revenue will necessarily be absorbed in
temporary improvements and additions as here
tofore.
The reports of the President and General
Superintendent were adopted. The following
officers were elected to serve the ensuing year !:
President-W. j. Magrath.
Directors-Robert Adger, Theodore D. Wag-
ner and Timothy Hurley, of Charleston; L. D..
Chids, Edward Hope, ]. G. Roath and John
E. Marley, of Columbia; R. L. Mclaughlin, of

= The Pittsburgh Post says: eff there is
one principle more definitely settled than an.
other in this country, it is the one term princi-
pie. The people settled this some forty years
ago, and only departed from it in the case of
Mr.. Lincoln, for reasons that were too obvious
for discussion. Grant may as we'll make up his
mind that they intend to apply it to him."
= The stockholders of the Charlotte Colum-
bia and Augusta Railroad met in annual con-
vention on last Thursday at Charlotte, N; G.
A quorum of stock was not represented, and no
business was transacted. 1t is stated that Mr..
