The Land Commission.

The Nrws und Cou,irl has already
fully confirmed our first impression rs
to the nature of the grounds on which
it bases it's wholesale charges against
Mr.. Chamberlain, If We could get at
the real crime of this (to nsc its own
words) "man Of polished manners, ripe
ability, and emincnco in his profession" :"
we would find that it consists in the
fact that Oo quote again) ''he is regard

charge tina. Mr.. Chamb ,rlain is re

mission. Its evidence" as in the
case OF tho agricultural land scrip
matter, which we think we have dis
posed Of, consists af n loose tissue of
illogical inlercnces from unsupported
statements; or, to chara acterizc it more
justly, it is string Of empty aud ridi
culous assertions, attempted to be
palmed off for proof.
Sitting out, as we'll as We may, the
few grains of substance in this two

upon some pretext or other the whites
nave massacrcd the colored people with
out fairness or pity. The sequel Of the
White League will inevitably be
series of Ku-Klux outrages. Does it
not yet appear that no good to the South
results from such exhibitions of bitter
ness Perhaps the South does not be
lieve it, but it is nevertheless true, that
nothing will do more to destroy the
growing disposition to consider war
issues settled and reverse the tendency
of all parties to concentrate attention
and energy upon the work of rcdrcssIns
abuses and instituting reforms, than
revival in any part of the South of the
old ferocity of hatred Of the freedmen.
TO this the White League Of Louisiana
directly leads. Let the fires of colored
people persecution be relighted and the
North will care precious little abou. the
means that are used TO keep those who
are responsible for it out Of power. Per
haps the massacre Of colorcd people is
considered in Louisiana 4 less fault than
squandcring public money; but the
Ncrthern mine! will not agree TO such a
discrimination.
There is another view ofthis subject.
While th c Southern whites arc constant
in their professions that they dcprccatc
war of races and mean the frcedm en-
no harm, their conduct is not such as
to disarm suspicion. Their cue. if
they want to return to power, is to con
vince the colored people that they in
tend justice, and SO to win their con
hdcncc and their votes. But the co,ored
people will never be won to support
white league, or those who countenance
white leagues. And this is the trouble.
that the whites are SO impatient to
obtain power that they are tantly
contriving plots which defeat their
aims. Confidence is of slow growth. 1t
is not unnatural that the few citizens
are jealous and suspicious 5but Slrerc.ii Is
only one way in which that disposition
can be overcome. Time and fair con
duct will overthrow White leas cues
will only intensity and prolong it. On
every account this new scheme of the
Louisiana people is unfortunate. 1t
tends to strife instead of peace. 1t
alienates sympathy instead Of fostering
it. Its success would mean no good to
the colorcd people. It's failure would
leave those who participate in it in
wore plight than before.

Plnin Words From Truthful
James.

We declared in the outset that the
organization Of the order Of the White
League in Louisiana and other South.
ern States was Il step toward til /, assassi
nation of negroes, that it was the r.vi-
val Of the kuklux under another name
We predicted that bloodshed would
speedily follow the threats Of the lea que
itself and the more violent outbursts Of
passion which found place in the cdito-
rial columns Of the pro. slavery news
papers Of the South. We say pro-sla-
rc'y because we mean it. We mean
it. We mean that the OK rebels are
again coming to the front; that they
are once more showing their teeth, and
that their hospitality is directed against
negro suffrage, with the ultimate pur
pose Of reducing the colorcd peopl, to
state of virtual if not actual slavery.
This is startling proposition; but it is
warranted by the notorious fact that
hundred Of thousands Of the Southern
people still mourn the collapse of the
Coniedcracy, and would spring to arms
to defend it were it revived to day
Do any doubt that, with the indepcn
dencc of the South achieved, every ne.
gro within its border would be reman
dcd as chattel to his late owner?
The prediction made by the Inter-
Ocean only few weeks ago, that the
skirts Of theWhito League, would be
stained with blood, has already found
its fufilmcnt in brutal tragedy cnac
ted near Shreveport, La. The White
Leagues Of the South arc sowing the
wind only to reap the whirlwud. They
are planting horrors which must grow
10 harvest of retribution. If there
are any men at the South possessing
sentiments Of huminity or ipssin:cs OF
patriotism; if there are any who have
estates to protect; if there are any who
would shudder at the renewal of scenes
Of violence and crime, let such face the
storm that is now rising; for unless the
progress OF the mad crusade is stayed

I he Sinking Fund Commission

The Neus and Courier dcvotes sever
al columns to statement Of its case
against Mr.. Chamberlain, in coDnc ction
with the sinking fund commission
We have waded through tho shallow
stream Of generalitics in order to find
cne solid point on which charge of
either fraud or mafcacancc can be cs
tablished against MIR. Chamberlain.
Barring the simple fact that he was,
eD o6icio, member OF that board, the
elaborate article ofthe Ncws and Couy
ier fails to connect him with any action
of that board which has proved
unfortunate for the interests of the
State.
The substance of the many columncd
charge may be reduced to the transac
ticns of the sale of the stock tf the
State in the Grecnvillo and Columbia
tailroad, the Blue Ridge railroad anl
the Cheraw and Coal6elds railroad.
The sale Of the former stock was made
to responsible purchaser. at fair
price, end the proceeds were invested
In State bonds, according to law. The
price at which the stock was sold was
in advance of tho prevailing price Of
that stock in the market, and in ad
vance of what it would have brought at
any time since. To say that any of the
commissioners werc parties to the pur.
chase is TO say what ia not true, and
what is not shown byiany evidence. If
they were purchasers. how has tho State
suffered by sale at more than the mar
kct price of the stock7

Orangeburg Rice and Grist Mill.

Our cnterprizing citizens Mcssrs.
Strauss & Street who have 30 success
fully carried on their business for the
Iast two years, have of late made great
Improvements.
They have erected an entirely new
and very much enlarged building.
They have just in a great deal of new
machinery, and enlarged the capacity
of the mill. They will be able to
pound 10000 bushels of Rough Rice
per annum, and grind enough Crisis
and Meal to supply the town and
country in any quantity, besides ship
ping to other merchants, although
they labor under great disadvantages in
regard to the discrimination in freight
the S. G. Rail Company makes against
Orangeburg, notwithstanding that they
can compete successfully with other
points, and sell us low MS can be pur
chased elsewhere. In the course Of
time they will manufacture -four, when
the PEOPLE can be supplied with tho best
grades Of -four, and always have it fresh
ground.
Some objections having been made
to the mill being dangerous as regard to
fire; on the contrary it will be all advau
tagc in case Of fire. They have Il water
tank which will hold 5000 gallons Of
water, and also a donky Engine and
several hundred feet Of hoes. In case
of fire they can even protect their
neiehbors property. There is no danger
of sparks escaping from the Smoke
Pipe, as their is patent Spark Catcher
attached, costing $50. They have donc
every thing in their power to guard
against fire, for it is 10 their interest to
do so, hence their arrangement is pro
lection instead of an injury to our
town.
They arc prepared to buy Rough
Rice and Corn, and give the highest
market price cash.
twill not be out of place to say few
wclds in regard to the South Carolina
Rail Read Co, to show that the :rade
OF Oraugeburg is not put on the same
footing as other points which makes
great harm to our town and country.
The writer has not enough data to give
all the points (this matter vii be look
ed after at a future timc) will give a
few caser: Rice is carried from Charles
ton to Lewisville distance Of 1871
miles) for 55cts. per l001bs when the
Company charges 40 cts. per l00lbs
ircm Orangeburg to Augusta distance
81 nlles) Corn from Lewisville to Char
lesion 81 cts. Per bushcl to Oranscburs
40 cts. Thus it will been seen that there
is great discrimination against Orange
burg.

SATURDAY MORNING; AUGUST IS 1874

The News and Courier even states that
Mr. Chamberlain offered resolutions in
the board fixing such conditions for the
sale Of that stock rs would have adc-
quately protected the State and yet,
after making this admission, these cx
amplcs Of democratic fairness seek to
make the impression not having the
courage, of course, to make the state
mcnt-that Mr.. Chamberlain, following
the example of Governor Moses in re
gard to the party platform of 1872,
deliberately violated the letter and spir
it of his resolutions.
The fact is, and Of this we have no
doubt the Nc,cs ard Courier has full
knowledge, assit has examined the re
cords Of the commission, that Mr.. Cham
berlain had nothiny achaterer to Ito aciM
the sale Of The Blue Ridyc stoch. as 1t ,cas
actually made. 1t occurred in his ab
scncc, and as we are informed, entirely
without his knowledge. We do not
say that there was anything wrong il
the transaction, but simply that MIR.
Chamberlain had nothing to do with it
good or bad.
This is the sort of "evilcnce" on
which the Nens and Courier bases its
charges.
The fact stated that Mr.. Chamber
lain, rs an attorney, presented an offer
to purchase the State in the Chcraw
aud Coalfeids railro IDS .els no MOTTO,
lie had a right to do SO, and to receive
fec for it,
The funds received by the sinking
und commission, so long as Mr.
Chamberlain was member OF it,
were invested exactly in accordance
with the law. They were invested in
bonds, which were then Il good and mp
proved security, in which the shrew dcst
linancicrs Of Columbia and Charleston
were then investing. The loss that has
since occnrred is-no moic charecablc to
Mr.. Chamberlain than TO the editor Of
the Nc'rs and Courier, and, in fact not
so much.
The Ncms and CoWicr concludes with
significant remark These things, it
says, will cause him to stand lower
thanAl oses, &c. Why lower than No
scs? Is there any reason sa.for attempt
ing to paint him little blackcr than
his chief opponent?
1t is not generally the policy of
party organ to seek to persuade the op
positc party to abandon bad man and
take up better. Will people believe
that the Nc,cs anI Couie,. has set
new example of devotion to 'the inter

been any change Of ownership in that
paper since 1870, when the Rev. DI
Hicks informed the public of the main
object which that paper pursued: or

nifty believes, was aided and abcttcd by

WoRK.-We find the following sensi-
BILE thought going the rounds of our
exchanges, without the proper credit:
Every man and woman who lives by
work, should accept employment wher-
ever offered, without being fastidious as
to the kind or exacting as to the wages.
The first consideration is, something to
do. This obtained, food and shelter are
assured, and the wolf of hard times is
kept at respectful distance. The un-
employed who remain idle rather than
accept low wages and rough work must
expect to be pinched, and no advice will
do them any good. A general willing
ness to labor, whatever labor will leave
very few unemployed, and nearly OBJ
yiate all want. Each decrease Of wages
increases the demand for labor. Then,
too, every employed person should so
work that he will be the last person dis
charged by his employer. The least
valuable men and women are thrown
out of their situations first. In ordin-
ary times the rule is that dismissed em-
plsyee dismisses himself. The same
rule cannot hold in times OF depression,
but the same principle keeps longest in
place the man who makes himself the
most useful to his employer.
