Our County Indebtedness.

a petition from the taxpayers Of
Richland County was fled with tbs
Governor on Tuesday asking for the
appointment of a Commission to in
vestigate the past Indebtedness of
that County. The same law applies
to this County. We published it a
few issues back. Why the lethargy
on the part of the people? Why
talk SO much about high taxation,
fraudulent County papers, VIII Gu by
your own supineness, you allow it to
go into the Treasury unchallenged.
The law referred to above was enact.
ed specially for the benefit of fault
finders, and those who believed there
was something rotten in Denmark
Why don't you take advantage of it?
Other counties have.
10 express ourselves candidly. we
believe that the matter has not be an
attended to because Orangeburg coun.
ty is poor in material, that is, she
has fewer real leaders of public senti-
ment than any other county in the
State, and those few the people depend
upon to do everything without any
reward.

orang eburg is growing and the
office of Mayor is not bed Of roses.
Besides tW responsibility, there is a
good deal Of work connected with til Q
position. In view, therefore, of this
fact, We suggest that the Office be
made elective and then the people
can with some show Of propriety
complain Of their Mayor if he neg
lects his duty. AS it is, that officer
serves at an expense and trouble to
himself.
When the Legislature meets, we
trust the charter will be SO ammend-
ed as to give our future Mayor sal

To Be Regretted.
reward.

It is to bo deeply. .dcplored that
there is q disposition in certain
quarter to find fault with the Exccu-
tive Committee, because lis members
deemed it unwise to call Convention
to supply nominees for the two
vacancies which recently occurred in
this county. Wo know that the
Committee cndcavorcd to do the very
best it could for the people, and if an
an error has been committed it was
one Of judgment and not of the
heart.
Apart from this, it seems hard to
be eternally.hammcring at men who
nave done all they could for the
Democratic cause without the slight
est compensation. Capt. jas. F. Izlar
especially has served his party faith
fully, honestly, and at a sacrifice to
himself, and VIC are satisfied that were
he to inform the people of one half
the hard work he has done in their
service, they would at once rebukc
the spirit which prompts them to Fl nd
fault, and permit their scarce NUT
tered anat],emes to turn into blessings
upon thcirlips. When the proper time
comes the people will be inform ed of
the conduct Of their public servants.
at present it is the duty Of every
man, and every Democratic Club
fnvoring the present State Govern
mcnt, to quiet and stihe sthc spirit of
discord which is sought to be planted
in this county. Remember the Re-
publican party is here yet, and still
has its majority of 1000, waiting for
q chance to take advantage of split
in the Democratic party.
Were we cnot otanxious to see the plat
form of principles upon which Gov.
Hampton stands fairly tested, there
would not be so much concern on orr
part for the welfare Of the Dcmocra-
cy Of this county. There are, MS q
matter Of fact many things that some
Of us do not like, but for the sake Of
South Caralina's veal wc submit
that it is highly proper just now to
"yerv thought that is not in
accord with the known policy of
Governor Hampton. And in this

Grant me space in your columns
to say, that these charges are false

reason for such misrepresentation is
his bitterness towards the negro, and

we can we'll understand the pride
the Germans of Chal lesion felt in the
establishment Of the Journal of'11Com-

medium through which they could
reach the public, and i'll whose
columns their friends and their
interests were guaranteed fair play.
In their municipal elections theyhad
been ignored or abused, and it.. was
meet and proper that they should
spend their money in equipping a
newspaper not at war with their
hopes and ambitions. Foremost
among tl.oEc of the Germans who de-
sired the publication Of free and
cutspoken Democratic paper in Char

Being q leading citizen and large
property holder, and having prideliin
his nationality, he could not do other
than dctest the course of the Ne,cs
aut Courier towards his people,
Hence his deep desire to- found a
new paper in the city by the sea; aud
hence his unwearying watch over the
career Of the Joarnal Of Commerce..
But despite thes facts; despite the
large number Of friends the new
journal has, it fails to compare with
its great rival. To be sure we say
this in sorrow, but it is, neverth eless,
u fact But friends of the Jou,mazof
Commerce tell us that the Associate
Press dispatches are withheld from
it, and that its proprietors have to get
their news through another channel.
That may be SO, but it is not in tele-
graphic intelligence alone that the
"straightout" organ is deficient. All
over it, on its editorial page as we'll
rs i'll its makeup, it lacks the cle-
ments ofa first-class newspaper. The.
greatest and most momcntous questions
may pass unnoticcd in its columns.
Of course the fault is apparent to
men, accustomed to the harness, bat
it is not our business to point it out.
No. Let ours be the more pleas
ing task Of importuning its con,luc-
tors to throw more light and vigor
upon it. More matter! moro matter
is what it wants. We have had
enough soup, give us the substantials
now. Let us know something about
the city ring What Of tho frauds
the Journal Of Commerce was to un-
earth i'll connection with its munici
pal government Surely it has not
clnspcd hands with Cunningham AMI
Mackcy Then, up and Mt 'cm.
How, too, about the indictments
against Tim Hurley rs Treasurer and
Cunningham rs County Commission
er? Have they been settled. to the
satisfaction Of the Journal cf Com
mcrcc A curious public would like
to know.
