TO THE CONSERVATIVES OF
ORANGEBURG.

This is the last opportunity we will
aave before the election to urge upon
you your duty to come out on the Bird
of November with your full strength
for Green and Delaney. It is your
only chance for good government,and
fthey ere defeated, it willbe through
your apathy If the Conservatives
give the Independent Candidates 81
600 votes, which they gave to Carpen
ter, they will be elected; for while Car
penter carried but q handful of colored
votes, Green and Delaney will, ir all
probability carry 10000 or more which
added to the $4,000 Conservatives will
elect them. It depends in she main
then upon the Conservatives, and if
tIey uI TINS iato h0uT, Wnsn fraud anu
corruption are rife in the land, COM
mence to stickle about petty considera
tions ofparty and color, they ensure
the election of Chamberlain, and fasten
the Ring upon us indefinitely. +.
Les oFangoburg give Grcen nndi De De
laney 1000 votes, and if every County
will do as we'll in proportion, they will
be elected by a handsome majority.
Let every Conservative como out, and
do his best for good government. z a1
1t is worth the effort, and when we
consider the era of good feeling as we'll
as good government which thesuccess
of the Independent party will usher in,
we ought to be willing to sacrifice some
of our ease and comfort for the result.
Remember Tuesday is the day of
election. Don't stay at home, and
when oppression comes blame every
body but yourselves. Our prospect of
success is brighter than it ever was in
this State, if we but do our duty. Let
us then not fail from our own indif.
ference.

amusements, the ear will be charmed
by the music of a full brass band,
which will be each day, in attendance.
5 But y thg enjoyments OF the occasion
will not be limited to these pleasures
only. Those of q higher grade will be
added. We shall enjoy the privilege
of listening to an address by Major
Woodward, of Fairfield, who holds the
high position of President of the State
Agricultural Society, and from whom
We may expect q rareintellectual treat.
And DIR. Wamer of Charleston will
give us an address ON subject which
should possess the highest interest for,
every cultivator of the soil, for its inn
portancc can scarcely be overated,
especially in these days when circum-
stances force upon us the policy ofre-
ducing the area of cultivation. There
too we shall meet old friends, each
and every one of them with his heart
warmer, his eye brighter, and his smile
more genial, than when immersed in
the cares of business.
All these pleasures, we see by an
advertisement, may be purchased at
the moderate rate of so cents per day;
and the visitor need lose none of the
timein seeking his dinner, for the ladies
Monumental Association will furnish
him, on the spot, with better one
than he can get elsewhere; and in pat
ronizing them, he will not only benefit
himself, but also promote noble
object-the erection ofa monument 10
the gallant dead whom even foe
must honor.
To complete the provision made for
the benefit of the visitor, by the fore.
thought of the Directors, an arrange.
ment has been effected with s. G. II. r.
Company, for the issuing of excursion
tickets at reduced rates.
Fairs such MS these are real blessings.
Their influence in promoting material
interests of high importance is great
and obvious; but opa-t from this con-
sis!erstion, they would be worth more
than they cost for the moral benefit
they confer. They draw us away for a
time from our everyday cares, and
anxicties, and toll. They give us
pause i'll the exhausting battle of life.
They give rest to the body. and health
full recreationito the mind. They do
more-they call into exercise our kind
liest social feelings, and, in so doing,
make us better meE.
A large attendance may well be an.
ticipated. Orangeburgers will all
come. Besides acknowledgements which
influence others, they are proud Of the
Orangeburg Agricultural and Nicchun
ical Association, and we'll they may
be, when it is seen what it has already
accomplished though SO recently for
med. 1t has gone steadily on, without
a blunder. Its stock is MS safe an in
ve,tmcnt rs can be found in the Siate,
and must ere long command pre-
miun. All this surprises none who
know its able and public spirited
Board of Directors, presided over By
one who is host in himself. III.

THAT REPORT

We have given in this issue synop-
sis of the Grand Jury report, from
which it will be seen that official cor
ruption in our midst hos been deep
and foul. Ifso much is brought to the
surface in SO brief an examination, who
can picture what may he the result, if
athorough investigation could be made.
However, some Republicans seem to
think that an additional feather has
been placed in the Republican cap.
The report is enough to cause every
honest Republican to hang down his
head in shame and confusion, when
ever he refers to it.
Who ever heard ofa Convention
meeting one week, and nominating a
County Ticket, and week or two af-
terwards the Grand Jury meeting and
exposing four of the men nominated2
Does this look MS if the Republicans of
Orangeburg are aiming .at putting hon
est men in Office?
There is only one way Of partially
redeeming themselves, and that is to
rcpudiate on the 3rd Of November
every man who is under the least breath
of suspicion.
Tho exposed candidates are Cain,
Phillips, McKinlay and Sasportas.
j. l.. Humbert is also presented.
The Orangeburg News is very doubt
fully. complimented for its exorbitant
charges. We don't know the items
upon which the charges were made,
and therefore cannot give our readers
the exact amount Of the overcharge
complained of by the Jury, but we
think the sum of $2240 for thirteen
months ofthe public printing certainly
high.
If the charges are all right we think
justice to our ncighbor, as we'll as to
its taxpaying supporters, demands n
publication of the itemized accounts
that the people can judge for them
selves how their money is spent.
We have thus conscientiously dis
charged our duty in exposing the
frauds uneartl,ed by the Grand Jury,
and all we ask is that tho people, white
and black, will do their best at the
polls to dethrone corruption and ele-
vatc honesty.

Death Of q Famous Dog.

Every true lover Of the chase in this city and
vicinity says the Lynchburg Trginianl will
learn with pain Of the death Of the most IA
nous fox-hound in all this section Of the State,
" Music" owned by Capt. Albert Mcdaniel
Of Bedford. To her master the event com es
in the shape Of a heavy personal bereayc-
ment, which will be appreciated by those
who know the strong attachment that often
exists between faithful dog and its owner
OF her he writes:
"She was tried associate n whom had
the utmost confidence; she never uttered a
falsehood or did a mean act She was as true
as steel, and perfectly honorable in all her
actions. She never entered a dwelling unless
it was on a good morning for a fox-chaso,
then she would come IN aud licl, my hand to
remind me Of the fact. She always led the
chase, and took more red foxes then any
dog Of her age, seven years. She was never
beaten fairly but by one dog, and that was
her daughter and namesake, owned by Mr..
Hiram Cheatwood, Of the same reighborhood.
She has been known to run from o'clock
4. NJ, Of one day until 8 o'clock Of the follow
ing day, keeping the lead constantly. One Of
her great exploits was the capture Of a famous
red fox "Old Liz which had for years defed
all the bounds in the country, after chase
Of only forty-fyo minutes. She was buried
10 a respectable manner"

Panamint.

The Inyo Independent says: We
have in our possession a specimen of
Panamint chloride ore which is GER
tainly as rich as anything of the kind
we have yet seen. 1t was presented
by Mr.. Kennedy to Mr.. Connolly the
other day during a few minutes halt
of the stage at Little Lake, where Mr..
Kennedy happened to be, just arrived
from Panamint. This specimen is out
of three-foot ledge, all of the same
general quality; the name of the mine
Mr.. Connolly did not learn, or has for
gotten. This ledge is opened to a
depth of about twenty feet. The
"Wonder of the World" Is down sixty
feet or thereabouts, and the develop
ments in these and numerous others
in the camp are said to be as fattering
as any man could wish for. The ores
evidently contain q heavy per centage
of copper and other base metals, and
will require scientific manipulation to
insure satisfactory results, notwith-
standing the fact that the actual assay
value of very large quantities of them
is away up in the thousands. Pana-
mint is undoubtedly one of the most
promising camps of the day. It's pop
ulation at present is only about sew
enty, but we would not be in the least
surprised if this number was increased
to several thousand within one or two
years at the most. No district appar-
emily ever had u greater future be-
fire it.

SAN DIEGO.
SAN DTEno n

SAN DIEGO, March 23d.
A Union special dated Tucson, A. T.,
March Odd, says John p. Clum has re-
Gently been appointed agent for the
San Carlos Apaches. The agency for
them is to be maintained separate
from that to which the White Noun
tain Reserve belongs.
A reliable letter from Camp Grant
of the 18th says Gen. Crook was there
personally looking into the causes OF
the San Carlos outbreak, and the eff
cheney of scouts. 1t is reported that
Gen. Crook is convinced that the San
Carlos outbreak was not caused by
any white persons, but by band of
Apaches under Cocheney.
Major Randall of Camp Apache and
Lieut.. Schuyler of Camp Verde are
out in Pinal mountains with about 400
troops well equipped, and the record
of these officers justifies the belief that
they will soon make many peacable
Apaches. No late depredations are re-
ported. All quiet in Sonora.
