Congress-.

Since the veto Of the Army bill by
President Hayes, both the Democrat
ic and Republican parties have been
skirmishing for position the one how
best TO overcome that officers opposi-
tiom, and tic other how to support
him. Caucuscs Of both parties have
been held and policy determined
upon to regulate their future action.
The Democratic members have decid-
eel TO scpcrate the obnoxious meas
urcs from the appropriation bills, and
pass them in single bills Withholding
the former until the latter will have
been signed by the President. This
wise decision proves to the country
that the Democratic members do not
desire to stop the wheels of govern
ment but simply to legislate in such
way as 10 insure the passage of
measures they believe TO be beneficial
TO the whole country. The issue is
now distinctly drawn and the Demo-
Gratis cannot afford to back down
and, we believe, will not. The veto
is an unqualified assertion Of the
President and the Republican party
of the right to use armed troops at
the polls while the action of the Dem.
ocrats openly deny such right.
We have the assurance of Senator
Hampton that the Democrats have
lost not an inch Of ground but
have rather gained by forcing the
President and his party to take their
present position before the people.
He says the democrats are to-day
better organized and nrc moving bet
Ter together than at any time" since
they have been in control. This is
certainly encouraging news to the
entire country, because both the peo-
pie and the press, with few excep-
lions, have expressed and advocated
the belief that it would be ruinous for
the party TO back at this or any other
stage of the contest, and that it is
the duty of the Democrats in Con-
gress to stand firmly up to the policy
and fight the battle to the end. If
the President, in maintaining his
wild opposition 10 the will Of the ma
Jority, sees fit to veto the seperate
bills, the only course left the Demo
Gratis will be to adjourn Congress
forthwith until the regular session.
No compromise is admissible now
and should not for moment be con-
sidered,

Court.

The Court Of General Sessions was
convened on Monday last at 10
o'clock, Judge T.. b. Fraser presid-
ing. The charge Of the Judge to the
Grand jury was characteristic Of the
man short yet comprehensive enough
and forciblc yet clear upon ever point
he touched. The dignity of the bench
and the reputation Of the South Car
olina judiciary are fully maintained
by Judge Fraser, and his department
off rs we'll as on the bench commands
the respect OF both citizens and law
yers. AT the re-assembling Of the
Court at o'clock, Solicitor Jervey
said he would continue the political
cases unless the parties were anxious
for trial, which happened not to be
the case in single instance. Per-
haps they are impressed with the
opinion that their cases will come un-
der the proposed compromise, and
they will be allowed to 60 unwhipped
of justice for their glaring violations
of law and decency. This may be,
but it can never destroy the sting of
n guilty conscience.
An examination Of The work of the
Court revealed light criminal dock

are Of little importance more than
that attached to general crime.
The following cases were disposed

ondly, as part owner he manufactures
his own products and effects tho Sec
ond sale to the merchant, and thirdly,
as consumer he buys directly from
himself rs producer, thus bringing in
the closest possible proximity the two
prices which enables him to reap the
entire advantage Of his production.
The enterprise in which Mr.. Geo.
II. Cornclson is about to engage, is
a God-scnd for our county, because
IT brings one of the articles by which
the spcculator has been accustomed
to rifle the purse Of the producer, in
immediate contact with the cane.
grower. The syrup, over and above
what may be necessary for home con-
sumption, is sold at the refinery and
sugar is either bought or given in ex-
change. This saves tho Orungcburg
planter the large margin in which
the sreculators from Louisiana to the
Orangcburg merchant manipulates
fortunes ut the expense of the pro-
ducer.
The Tanncry recently established
by Mr.. llarpin Riggs, in tho article
of leather, 80 extensively used on
every farm, brings the price received
by the producer and that paid by the
consumer III almost Immediate con.
tact. The same reasoning obtains in
the cases of the buggy and wagon
factories of Messrs. p. Doyle, Robert
Wiles, and II. Riggs. The first prics
paid for the article is by the co.sum
or. Honesty and fair dealing in cacl
of these cases demand !nat the price
paid b" the consumer should only ex.
cecd that received by the producer b,
the actual cost Of manufacture and q
reasonable per cent. gain. This
would evidently save to the plantc,
the difference between the prices paid
now and those he would pay if the
scheme should be- aadoptcd and hon.
estly carried out. He would by i,
possess a power in dollars savel, that
would enable him to hold his produce
or to thr ow it on the market only al
rcmunerative prices and thus contro
at least the local commerce.
All enterprises Of this kind require
q local expenditure of large amount
OF money for hands employed which
would necessarily be consumed in tho
town trade and work no inconsidera
BILE advantage to home interest o.
every kind.
We candidly submit these views
crude as they may be, to our people
with the hope Of at least directing at
tention to subject of vital impor,
tance not only to the farmers buI
merchants of Orangeburg. For mex,
TO ones interest in his own posses
sion, is the interest he feels in the
prosperity of his county and town
and the happiness of his people.

Newspapers.

The press has grand mission, it is
said; right grandly they should per-
form it. 1t will not do TO blur the
record by idle words, cheap criticism
and hasty judgments. The people
get the news, and largely their opin-
ions, especially upon politics, from
the papers, weekly and daily. This
involves great responsibilities, and
should be met in the broadcast sense.
Papers will cling to their party, and
VIC fear hug two often the shadows
and shoals Of the EDITORS ignorance
and prejudices. 1t is sad common
tary on the press that it is difficult to
get the trutlAin politics from the pa
pers Of either side, and it is sadder
still that any man should prostitute
his high place TO selfish and individ-
uel ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The mission
will not be reached in this way. The
power of the press is tremendous, and
sometimes we think almost fearful to
contemplate. It must run into per-
sonal and partisan channels. We
rejoice in the growth of independent
newspapers, politically, and we shall
further rejoice that every newspaper
in the country shall meet ali issues
from the standpoint of honesty and
honor.

WATCH AND WAIT.

We had hoped TO receive dispatches of so
decisive n character relating to the result in
New York, that something like definite
statement of the case could appear in this
issue, but the cloud which hangs over the
State ticket aside from the Governor con-
tinues i'll its density The Democrats con-
cede the election ofCoRNELL, but claim the
remainder of the State executive officers.
The New York Tribune confidently contends
that the Republicans have carried every
thing outside the Governor by small ma
iority. CoRNELL's plurality, it contends,
is about double what the Democrats cou-
cede.
The returns come in slowly, but they
almost uniformly, as they come from the
strong Republican counties, show an increase
Of Republican strength, without any corre-
spending increase on the part of the Demo

This inspires some confidence OF Repdbii-
can success, though the contest is so close
that it may require the official count to de-
eide the question. We are not of those who
| are without hope, though we are not ready
to iubilate much over the ticket when we
get below the Governor We may have to
be coutent with what we have positively
secured, and ordinarily we should regard
that as triumph worth rejoicing over.
\ United States Senator is usually regarded
as a capture worth noting, and in this in-
stance we have Governor to add import

upon further developments and the final
result. If our victory shall be complete, Il
few weeks of calm waiting will add relish
to our rejoicing when it shall come

NEW YORK IN THE FUTURE.

The defeat of ROBINSON in New York
virtually lays Mr. TILDEN on the shelf as
Presidential candidate, and illumines the
prospect of Senator BAYARD. There is no
doubt now that nothing short of TILpEN's
retirement will appease the hostility of
JOHN KELLY. He has shown his power to
throw TELDEN or any other Democratic can
didate at his pleasure, and this fact, so
clearly developed, will very naturally have
the effect to deter TILDEN from performing
hari-kari. On the other hand, TILDEN is "a
man with revenges. The slaughter of Rob-
TNsoN his idol, will have the effect to put
keen edge upon his modification over
this ruthless disposal of his Presidential
chances, and no matter who his party may
put to the front, he will never again light
the fires of enthusiasm in his own sordid
heart for Democratic success, or inspire
them in others. He is far more likely to
raise the war cry of remember ROBIN
"soy" and resort to the assassin's knife,
quietly putting it under the fifth rib
of his party in the Empire State in the en-
suing election.
We refer to this as probability, but the
Republican party must not rely upon it
for future success. 1t must provide for a
victory through the inherent strength of
Republican principles and a judiciously Sc
lected and popular candidate in whom the
people have confidence. Such candidate
can take the State of New York into the
Republican camp, and it remains for the
Republican party of the Nation to decide
that question by its own action in conven-
ton and at the ballot-box. What has been
can be again, and New York has been re-
peatedly carried by the Republican party
The next contest will be National in its
character 1t will decide whether or not
the Nation shall be given over to the con-
troll of those who would, if they could, have
taken its life and left the Republic u ruin
That is the next question, and ON that New
York is loyal.
