Sublime Assurance.

The resolutions offered by Straker
nj the Webster meeting held on the
Fourth of July OIL his private grounds
for the purpose of perpetuating the
SANDER against the whites, which Dr..
Webster published in the n. Y. "Tri-
bune" few months ago. were ORDER
ed to be published in tho TINES, the
N. Y. "rribune," and the "Demo.
GRAFT" and for this purpose were
broughtto our office Yesterday.
If the resolutions cantaincd any
arguments or proof rebutting or at
tempting to ,ebut what has been
proven against Webster, we would
publish them; but they arc nothing
but volume Of clap-trap expressing
the feelings of DR. Webster's political
followers, drawn together by the e1-
pcc,ation Of a big Fourth ofJuly
dir ner, and unsubstantiated by u
eingleproof.
The object is to let this one sided
document. the embodiment of the
spleen Of the Webster-Straker clique
against the present regime OF tho
Claflin University, go out as the
voice Of the colored people.
This clique is opposed to the educs
tion Of the colored people by the
State, and intcrpose every impodi
ment they can.
We want facts, not FEELINGS, and
while we are really for arguments, we
cannot fill our paper with such scnti-
mental trash, especially when under
lying The whole All unwarrautable
insul, is intended for our people.

sn tIl oitunity fer NJ so inclined to
rasr the day in st ciSl enjoyment, the
friends Of the order determined on 4
picnic for the Fourth.
The motives assigned are merely
speculative, none having been dis
tinctly stated; however, it 10 generally
understood that there are reasons
enough for any number Of pleasure
loving mortals to assemble together
at any given time or place. In this
instance they proved sufficient to
draw large crowd to the sp,t SO
lected for the festivities.
The ledge has very pretty loca-
tion nt Bethel Church on the public
road to Orangeburg and its appear
ance was greatly enhanced by the
preparations made in the surround. :.
ing grove for this occasion.
After safe arrival and survey Of
the grounds, an invitation was rx-
tended for all present to enter tho
Church, where we were soon seated
in eager expectancy. The Good
Templars, wearing their regala, then
entered in procession, and we're called
TO order by the presiding officer, Mr..
Davis, who began the exercises by
calling for tho opening ode, which
was followed hy prayer from Rev.
j. c. BisselI, the deservtd'y popular

passing notice because ofthe interest
aroused and the impression made on
his audience by his vivid pictures Of

sufficient to relieve the mind Of the
painful tension induced by his more
striking illustrations. Twenty years

Miss Annie Bartel was prompt in stepping on the

O'Clock Wednesday night. Toward the small hours
OF yesterday morning the quiet in the hall was op-
pressive and those remaining in the seats fell asleep
only to be awakened on the appearance of the fair

OF the walker around the hall. and she seems
cheered by it, party of ladies entered the hall at
four O'Clock yesterday morning from ballroom in

ing dress. took Miss Bartel arm around the track
Another of her companions. fair-haired. sprighly
little lady, walked twice around with her. Miss Bar
tell was much pleased with this attention.
Miss Bartel completed her first 800 quarter miles
mt nine O'Clock last night. So far che shows ccpar
atively little fatigue, and she both eats and sleeps
WELL Yesterday Miss Bartel's fastest time was on
her 293d quartermile, which she accomplished in
3m. 2ss. Her fastest quarter far was
and her slowest time was on her l3zth quarter,
to which she gave 5m. 555ss. SuO little de-
tails as those are eagerly discussed by the crowds
so infatuated with her walking that they remained
all night. At eight o'clock yesterday morning lady
called at the hall to inform her husband that break
fast was ready the gentleman being so absorbed in
Miss Bartes feat that he had not noticed the flight
of time. 1t expected that last night contin-
ued want of consecutive sleep would affect
the pedestrienne that the strain upon her system
would become apparent but she has been able 10
catch her sleep well in the intervals between her
quarters that she has net yet shown any unusual
signs of the want OF it, Confidence in her ability

An excellent walking match for 500 side be-
tween William Carroll and Francis Mahoney has
been in progress here since quarerpast ten O'Clock
this morning and it is attracting considerable atten-
ton. They to walk sixty-two hours Both men
are in good trim. except that Mahoneys feet begin
occasion him some trouble. The fastest mile was
made by Carroll. his time being ten minutes. Ma
honey's best record was eleven minutes and his
poorest fifteen minutes
At ten clock tonight Carroll had made forty-six
miles and sixteen laps, and Mahoney lacked three
laps of scoring fortythrec miles. There forty
nine laps to the mile, which makes the track very
undesirable one for amateurs. Up 10
ten o'clock Mahoney had been off the
track two hours and ten minutes, end
Carroll one hour and ffty-fve minutes. The latter
at this stage of the contest appears stand the best
chance OF winning the match. He walks a steady
gait and has perfect control of himself while Maho
