Sam Cary, the great Greenbacker of Cincin-
natl, is quite enthusiastic over the prospects of
the Nationals. He says they will elect the next
President of the co untry. Ben Rutler will
wipe his feet on the door-mat of the White
House as regular boarder then.

expect that she would leave her own posses
sions in jeopardy when she had the power
to protect them. Self-sacrifice may be
commendable quality in individuals, but in
nations it is madness.
But we do not apprehend that the dissatis-
faction manifested among some of the peo-
pie Of Ere nee will be permanent. When the
full meaning of the alliance shall be under
stood, it will be seen that instead of having
reason to complain, France will have good
cause to be grateful to England for the step
she has taken. It will be infinitely better
not only for Asia but for all Europe that the
power controlling the destinies of the CONT
nent shall be vested in Great Britain rather
than Russia. The former is an enlightened,
tolerant, Christian government. Under its
sway all people can live and enjoy the priv
ileges of civil and religious liberty in great
er degree than under any other
government in the world. She
does not make war for conquest.
Her possessions have been rescued from bar
| barians, and under her benefcent reign des-
| erts have been made to blossom as the rose.
Her mission is to build up grand CONNER
cial empire, the arts of war being cultivated
for purposes of defense only. Russia is yet
young in civilization. Her people are for
the most part semi-barbaric, and her rulers
are warlike, cruel and despotic. The
conquests she has made have resulted
in the enslavement of peoples, the
prostration of industry, the overthrow of
civil and religious liberty. 10 encourage
such power is to encourage a retrograde
movement i'll civilization, to stimulate war
with all it's attendant horrors, to strangle the
liberty Of mankind. In such view of the
case not only France, but all the civilized
nations of the globe, have reason to be
thankful that by the skill of her diplomatists
England has obtained the mastery; has been
able to interpose an insurmountable barrier
to the further progress of the Muscoyite
power, both in Europe and Asia. The
results will be prolific Of good to the cause
of enlightenment, good government ane
commerce.

Importance to the party, Us we'll rs OF
interest to the people at large. The
usual method Of clccting candidates
from the coore,! members Of the

ground, that representative men have
not been chosen, but only those who
neither had the confidence of the
colcrcd race, nor the ability to pro
tcct tl,eir rights when in Office. / is
also clnimcd that colnreh Democrats
should elect their own candidates;

small minority. Iu New York and

commits on an average seven times
the number of crimes that are COM

From report of the Superintendent

with the census Of the State, one to-

To The kditor OranycJwy Times:
DEAR SIR The following statis-
tical items are extracted from pa
per before the Illinois State Teach
crs Association, by 5. II. White of
the Peoria Normal School. AL
though they are, like all statistics,
rather unpoctical matter, they pre-
sent q force Of aryument in favor of
education which is overwhelming
and indisputable.
In the city Of New York among
the llitcratc. there is one crime to IL
fraction over three persons; while
among those having common school
education, there is one crime to abou t
twenty seven persons. The cases Of
crime among those that cannot read
and write, are therefore nine times
rs. great as among the rest of the pco
pie. In the State of New York, o
the criminals, thirty one per cen t
cannot read nor write; while of tin
VIII ole population, about seven per
cent are equally ignorant. 1t fol-
lows that person not able to read
end write is six times as apt to COM
NIT c,imc rs one who can read and
write In Massachusetts among the
Ignorant population, one in twenty
committed crime, while among the
reading population, there was one
crime i'll about one hundred and
twenty six persons. In the New En-.
gland States, only seven per cent of
the population can neither write nor
read; yet fully eighty five per cent of

County Convention

The leading features that c!larac-
terized this meeting Of Tie Orange :
burg Democracy were harmony, mi
ty and manifest desire to work
out the greatest good for our party
and county We have heard scnti-
ment of satisfaction expressed gone
rally and Of qualification ut til, re
suits reached by tho Cpnvcnion
which is natural in view OF tlo fact !,
that this meeting might be consider
ed as the opening Of the present
campaign. The harmony and unity
which prevailed here might be taken
rs an index Of the same elements
which would prevail throughout the
exciting months Of the campaign.
In the absence Of any specially de-
clnred platform, the Convention
adopted the principles which gave
the State the victory in 1876, by ap.
proving the denomination of Gov.
Hampton anil his entire Stltc Tic;-
ct. These principles rcco ,niza Il, c
right of all men, without distinction
to q perfect equality before the law
declare any dismembcrnent Of t., c
party rs ruinous and suicidal, be
cause without unity the Democratic
party cannot succeed; denDunce all
fusion tickets as dangerous, because
coalition with the enemy is but Il
sale of the party; and assert that
good government in South Carolina
can only be obtained through the
Democratic party. A perfect ad-
hcrcncc to these principles will be
the death of AL Independent eandi
dates who are nothing more than
Radicals in disguise at best; and IL
determination to nominate candi-
dates, for Office Of character and abil
ty, OF MS Gov. Hampton put it,
-1hselect oGr best men"'-mcn who
will represent the general interests Of
the people, will shut out all possibii-
ty of future splits in the party and
thus insure a complete victory on
the day of election. The feature
however which struck us us of equal
Importance with any other, and to
which is Us much due the harmony
which prevailed rs any OF her, was
that introduced by Captain Slawson,
to open the proceedings with prayer
There is much promised to those
who put their trust in God, and He
shall be q tower of strength unto
them. We trust that this feature
will forever, hereafter prevail in all
future meetings Of the Democracy Of
our County.
