le-Glorious 4th.

Tic .Glorlous 4th.
We regret tliat We could not oo~rss With tho
kind invitation Of our colorcd friends to attend
their 18th of July dinner We arc pleased to
learn that a number Of our best citizens did at
tend and were much pleased. The dinner was
we'll cotton up. the most perfect order prevailed
and all passed off in the most quiet ard respcc-
table manner. No people in the world deport
themselves with greater order and propriety
than the colored people of this vicinity, and, in
general, they arc prospcring. We hear Of many
who intend 10 buy homes and instead of going
to strange land among strangers, have re-
solved to settle down among those whom they
know aud who have been and over will be their
best friends.

Mn. Eplror.-Wc in this township, think the
time has come when square and direct issue
SHOULD lie made on the bonded Indebtedness
Of the State. We believe the Indebtedness crca-
ted prior to the war should be paid according
10 consolidation act. We believe the entire
bonded Indebtedness created ty Radical leg
isla,ion warp and wooE, first and last, from
beginning to end, should DC repudiated at
once and every syllable of the rascaliiy and
fraud wiped from the statute books Of the
State, This ole radical debt was created by
impostcrs, s,-conccivcd in fraud and developed
in fraud The bonds were sold by men knowing
they were fraud TO men who knew they were
fraud. 1T never has, is not now, and never
will he an honor to civilized people 10 pay
. fraudulent debt. According to the highest
law known of heaven of men, there is not
and cannot be brought vcStlgc of legal claim
upon the people Of South Carolina for the pay
mcnt Of this debt. 1t is an axiom of the COM
mon law Of England, as also the English speak
ing race. which GaihsxSs itS~S Aa,Gi ian AsS~,hc
Diyirc~hw; THAT a debt created without value
received is ilcsitmate and fraudulent" Where
is South Cardinals "value received for this
radical dcbt? Echo answers where? Our iinan-
cial distress, our paralyzcd energies, our beg
gary, speak palmer than words can utttS dc.lar-
ing the dishonesty and niamy Of those who
perpetratcd it upon an honest people. Let us
thrust it forth from our Threshold as an illc
gitimac, untimely, dclormch and odious brat,
without the semblancc Of claim upon us for
parental recognition. Aud just here let me say,
we want as our next Legislators representatives
Of Hs (the people, and not Of Mcmseircs.
The South Carolina College was adapted to
the character Of our civilization and the phases
Of ante Geium society; but that civilization, that
society, those days, with their giories made
brighter byintcrvening years, have passed away
forever In history they live, in the urn of song
they vii! bear fragrance 10 children, but they
arc gone TO return no more. We live in new

| responsibilities, combating new difficulties, with
new issues and emergencies upon and new
and untried future before US. 1t is fifth wheel

an elephant t. tJ in our present financial dis

people, who will expose and disown fraud. who

The question whcthcr postal officials have q,
right, under any circumstances, except by due
process of law to open letters sealed packages,
in the mails, has again been answered in tho
negative by the Supreme Court of the United
States. "Sealcd mail matter" says the deci-
sion, ''is fully guarded from examination and
inspection, except as to their outward form and
weight, rs ii they were retained by the parties
forwarding them in their own domclcs. The
constitutional guarantee of the right of the peo
pie to be secure against unreasonable searches
and seizures extends to their papers, thus closed
against inspection, wherever they may be. No
law Of Congress can place in the hands Of oil
Gals connected with the postal service any au-
thority to invade the secrecy Of scaled packa-
! ges in the mail"

Commencement at Reidville.
SpARTANBURG,

EDITOR UNION TINEs:-l was at the Commence
ment exercises of the Reidvillc schools and was
so much pleased that beg little space In your
valuable paper TO say u word or so to their
friends, many Of whom you have in your, Coun-
ty. | remember especially, as my old school
mates there, Mr.. Tom Jeter, MIR. Kit Sartor and
wife, Hal Fernandez and others. know they
will all be glad hear that these schools are un-
der able management, and very prosperous, af-
ter n long season Of depression, along with
other schools. | say, in truth, never saw bet
ter commencemcnts there. In fact, the last lar
surpassed any former ones. MIR. Neil boys on
Wednesday night acquitted themselves hand
somey and among the number distinguished,
was n fellow citizen of yours, Mr.. w. f.. Black,
who stood highest for scholarship, and was
awarded therefor publicly, and who was fur
iher commended for punctuality, not having
missed single day. lie may be an honor to your
County yet. At least we shall expect to hear
from him in after years
The Female School commencement was alto.
gether a decided success. Parties who have
been about, say it was rs good rs any they ever
saw anywhere. Miss Patterson, the music
teacher, is genius in getting up an entertain;
mcnt. Music and tablcaux were so intermixed
that the attention was rivetcd all the whilc.-
The Camp Groundscenc and the beautiful mu-
sic, "rcnting on the old camp ground" brought
tears TO the eyes of many hardy old veteran.
Miss Perry, who has charge of the Primary de-
| partment added much to the entertainment
| Her accomplishments are only equaled by her
| beauty. Professor Smith seems to be successful
| to happy degree. After the exercises proper
were over he awarded prizes and stated that in
class of thirty-fivc girls in orthography only
! thirty words had been missed during the scs-
sion, and that, having otfered prize to the best
spelcr, or the one missing the fewcst words dur
| ing the session, he had to have n spelling match
at the close of the school between six girls, non c
of whom had missed n single word This was
saying good deal. Among the prizc-takcrs I
noticed one of Unions fair daughters, Miss Sally
James, daughter Rev. y. a. James. We con-
congratulate Union, but feel '.sortcr' mad at
her, that sl,snDeup hero and takes the prizes
from our bog gs and girls All success, however,
to her. Yours, JOHN.
