The Monument.

On The 18th instant We witnessed
the ceremonies attending the unveil-.
ing of tho monument, erected by tho
eiforts,of the ladies of our
State, to perpetuate tho memory of
our heroes'Yho gave their lives in de.
fence of the principles and the honor
of South Caraliha:: The cause for
which they sacrificed thciy livss is in
deed lost, but the memory Of their
deeds shall live SO long! as this mon
umcnt stands and thenobp efforts of
The ladies, who planned and complet-
ed the work, shall be honored by the
citizens Of our State. The vast mul-
titude (morc than ten thousand soulsl
that attended on that ,occasion and
the order which prevailed, attest
how deep the current OF love flows in
tho heart of .heir, countrymcn. 1t
was to US IL novel spectacle that a
suGugatca people would dare erect n
monuments ir honor Of their dead, and
thus by that act make them heroes
in the cyea Of the world. No other
suhjugatGh people evcrdid as much.
Ireland cmbalmcd he'mcmory of her
patriot, Emmett in the heart of hcl
ciIizcns, but never dared to erect q
monument to perpctuatc it. Poland
transmits by tradition through hcl
elders the secret record of the liycs o
her heroes, but builds no monument
to tell posteriLy Of their fame. The
South, suhjugatcd, impoverished by
the burning OF the homes of her ciLi:
zcns and the contiscation Of millions
of their property, stands alone ip his
tory, possessed of an independence
peculiar to the Democratic institu
tions Of America, which darcs, in tho
presence Of her conqucrors and before
the eyes Of the world, to honor hel
dead by erecting Il monument sacred
to the memory of their lives and theil
deeds. There are but few things left
of the old Republic to commend oul
citizens to that form of government
but this alone is sufficient TO make us
love it more than man could possibly
love the depotism that subiugated
Poland, or the monarchy that suhju
gated Ireland.

The Republican Nomination.

The friends Of Secretary Sherman,
preparatory TO his nomination for the
Presidency, are feeling their way eau
tiously but earnestly. An effort was
made some time ago 10 enlist Mr..
Hayes in behalf Of the Secretary, but
in the light Of recent events that
fraudulent official secs faint hope of
second term and is slow to commit
himself before more light is thrown
upon the hope Of his young ambition.
Whilst these moves are being made
upon the political chess board, the
friends Of General Grant, no longer
assured of prompt. not to say unan-
imous, nomination, are more than
anxious for movement to be inau-
guratcd which will divide distinctly
the influence of Hayes and Sherman.
their management is characterized
by all the adroitncss of skilled poliLi-
clans and all the daring of those who
once tasted the good thing Of Prcsi-
dental patronage; and the country
need not be surprised, when the Re
publican Convention meets to see
Gen. Grant thrust in between Shcr-
man and Hayes and come out the
nominee Of his party. If, however,
either Hayes or Sherman withdraws
from the contest, the influence of the
one may be readily utilized in favor
of the other, and Grant with his fami.
lily relations must of necessity pull
wires harder than eyer before to Sc
cure the desired nomination. SO un-
settled is politics at the present time
and SO tickle arc the minds of her vo-
taries that day may develop and
bring forth q wonderful change. The
unpopularity Of Mr. Hayes but few
months ago and his present power in
the Republican party, is q case in
point..S

policy is beginning to he adopted by
ahe merchants of Oangcburg, and
they recognize the necessity Of hold
ing the trade already acquired and
Of increasing it by superior induce
mcnts. We were told only a few
days since by one of the leading mcr-
chants Of our town that he would du-
rlicatc 1T his store Charleston prices
and give q better article. Let our ciI-
zcns know this, that it is in good faith
and VIC guarantee the entire trade Of

Of the county. 1t is an easy matter
TO test The sincerity Of this assertion
"a knowledge of Charleston prices
is all that one needs. Cotton is
bought here ut as close figures as in
any town in the State, and we believe,
for cash, goods can be purchased
here ss low as elsewhere. More ear
est efforts arc being put forth IN the
shape Of special, cheap stores Chan
ever known before, and the success
of one such enterprise will be but
opening the way TO y cheap market
and q nourisLing town, for our coun-
ty is sufficiently dense in poplation,
our lands arc fertile, climate salubri-
GUS and fixed, citizens intelligent and
law abiding and our government
Democratic, therefore honest. Cheap
markets, ut which the entire trade of
our citizens may center, are only
needed to introduce Il new and more
prosperous period for our county.
We trust tho time is not far distant
when all the resources Of the our fa-
vorcd county will be developed and
utilized, and our people shall realize
the fact that diversified Industry is q
