An APOLOGY.

We owe the Independent party OF
Eureka an apology. So,ne of the lead
crs are angry at the SENTINEL for pub
fishing a list of the nominations made
by the committee Thursday night.
We really had not the remotest idea
that there was any secret ABOUT the
matter. We thought, in fact, that the
managers of a great reform move
ment, such as that organized here,
were not only willing, but anxious, that
the world should know everything
concerning their deliberations. We
took it to be a peoples movement. in
which every citizen and taxpayer of
the county had a special interest. We
knew, or supposed we did, that the dis
interested gentleman composing the
new party were opposed to any and
everything savoring of rings, cliques
and dark lantern jobs, and it was sole
ly with the view of assisting them in
the noble work in which they are en-
gagged, that the SENTINEL. trotted out
their list of candidates, 50 far as COM
ple:ed. We believe that the Independ.
mi hosts of Eureka county, the miner
in his cabin, the coal-burner on the
mountain, and the horny-handed
Granger in the valley, all had a right
to know what steps were being taken
for their deliverance from the thral-
dom ofthe corrupt politicians and wire
pullers of the two cid parties; and
as above stated, it was in pursuance of
this laudable purpose that the SENTI-
MEL gave the independent ticket the
benefit of its circulation. In all this it
seems, however. we were wrong; the
deliberations of the Reformers were
intended to be Kept a profound secret
until the programme should have been
fully matured and completed, when it
a confidently hope | "a political thun-
derbolt might be hurled against
the walls of corruption with
such startling force As to shake
the earth from center to cir
conference. The enterprise Of the
SENTINEL's reporter, in his zeal to
chronicle everything of concern to the
people, thwarted the plan anl--we are
sorry. We humbly apologize.

ST. LOUIS. Sept. %.
Senator Schurz delivered a long and
carefully prepared speech to an audi
ence filing the temple, last night, on
national and state affairs. His utter
ances on finances were a repetition OF
the views presented by him in the
senate and elsewhere. He spoke at
considerable length on the present dis
ordered condition of affairs in the
South, particularly in Louisiana.
While commenting on the action of the
Administration i'll lending its aid to
the prompt suppression Of the LOUISE
n ~rcvoltS, he goes back to the origin
of the Instruction, which he finds in
n conspiracy to create n State govern
ment by Federal powers. This was
| the origin of the crime which fur
nished the example and provocation
for those that followed. 1t was
a vicious outgrowth of systematic Use
by Federal officc-hOlderS, in the Soush,
of the power the office CAV them to
share state affairs in the interest of
their party. This usurpatiOn was II
toned by the neglect OF Congress to
reprove it and set il aside. On the 9TH
err hand, it does not suppress the re-
possibility of the Southern people for
their own trouble by their failure to
put down the kuklux outrages that
have broken out from time tn time, and
punish the lawlcss ruffians that have
infested different sections; but the dan
ger now is something worse than ku-
klux lawlessness or popular anarchy;
it is the anarchy of power and lawless-
ness of authority. He insists, oh the
one hand. that Congress shall undo
the wrong done to the Louisi-
ana people under Federal sane
ton, and, on the o.her, that
the White Mems Leagues in the South
shall he d~isbanded, as well as all klu-
klux combinations based on the antag-
oni>m OF races. lie warned the ne-
grocs to take individual political action
and arrange themselves, according to
personal preferment or judgment, With
either party. They may command re-
Spect and protection from both. Fl
nally. he foresees in the passage of the
Civil Rights bill the utter annihila.ion
of the public school system, now sus-
tanned by the whites a. the South. and
believes that this would be the great
est blow that could be aimed at the
progress of the negro race.

County Convention Of tho Oranges.

We learn that ut the last meeting
OF Winnsboro Grange, resolution
was adopted calling on each Of the
Oranges in the County to seud three
delegates to u Convonti0n Of ORANGES
to be held in Winnsboro on tho Sec
ond Monday in March. Wcprcsumc C
this Invitation will be accepted, and
We trust that tho attendance will be
full.
Ono Of the fundamental ideas Of
tho order of the Patrons of Illus.
bandry is combination and coopera-
tion. The oruer was organized for
the purpose Of abolislting tire indi-

ly disciplined body. The life Of tho
farmer naturally causes him to act
independently. Heis not in sttua-
tion to judge reatlily of the benefits
accruing from concerted Action. He
never for n moment stops to consider
what crops arc needed, and what pro-
ducts will be a drug in the market.
TO ipcnlcatc these ideas tho Grangse
have been formed, In these, by the
intercourse of members and the
attrition of minds, new truths arc
evolved, aud old crrors are cx xploded.
1t is evident therefore the more wide.
spread the intercourse, the greater
the benefit rcsalting.
Separate Oranges are'but indivi--
dualizcd neighborhoods, each probab-
ly chorishiug its own theories. These
ncighborhoods must be brought into
communion. This is what the Coun-
ty Convention proposes to do. AS
matters now stand, cach Grange is OH.
an Independent footing, having moth
ing moro to do with other County
Oranges than if they wcro situated
in Sahara or Kamsohatka. This is
not cooperation, and as long as this
state of things laets tho Oranges will
bear no fruit.
The system, to succeed, must be
perfected. Every farmer should join
his ncighborhood Grange. These
Oranges should oom bino into County
Oranges, these into State Oranges
and State Oranges into ono National
Grange, having general supervision.
We believe County Oranges are
not authorized by the Constitution of
the Patrons. They should be be, so
as to form tho link in tho CHAIN
Until County Oranges arc organized, .,
tho various ncighborhood Oranges
should meet in Convention as sug
gested by the Winnsboro Grange,

Throughout tho whole State we
hear grevious complaints of enormo ous

not satisfied with the high rate of
taxation, is determined to increase
the proceeds resulting from this tax
to as large sum as possible. And
this while they boast of economy
Property in Union County has been
raised fifty per cent, and in Richlahd
tho same amount in many stances.
In Orahgebufg Instances are given of
lands assessed ut four times their
market value. In Marion and Oar.
lingson gigantic frauds have been
porpetrated. Swamp lands, compare.
lively worthless, have been uniformly
assessed ut twelve dollars per aore.--
The amount of property in the State
is ~ 6,O0o,boo greater 'thaniast Year, =,
notwithstanding tho Tact that the
panic has deprecated the price of
everything. LII thi. County the ao-
tion of the board of equalization has
been marked With more moderation
than in many others. hut nevertheless
the rates are too high.
