Radicals MovinG.

It.is generally believed that the
Radical party have decided 10 put
state ticket in tho field, not with The
hope of elccting it, but to create an
enthusiasm in the lower counties,
where the colorcd people are suppos-
cd to be in the majority, in order
that the entire negro vote may be
pollcd. The design is to elect one
or two Congressman aud their local
officers wherever they may be able to
do SO. Nless:s. Earle, Melton, Cor
bin and a few other old leaders, arc
mentioned as being at the head Of
the state movement, while Mackey
and Wallace aspire to congressional
honors. The County ticket will be
engineered by such old tcamsters as
Boliver, Livingston, Webster, Dun
can and Straker. Indeed the Orange
burg Radicals are already on the trail
as the late meeting of the leaders in
our town indicates and thc.subscqucnt
activity among the Court House gen
try. The order has already gone
forth for two and three days meetings
with the purpose Of making the pull
pit an agency i'll theil diabolical
scheme. The clans are to gather at
mid night in country localities TO be
organized and instructed in the mys.
tcrics Of the new order. Every agcn-
cy will be brought to bear upon our
colorcd voters and if they maintain
their independence it will bc throug h
great tri6ulations and trials. Let us
re mind our colorcd friends tha. in
this new scheme the white Radicals
will cat the Qcsh and the negro the
bones, just like it was in tho days
OF 1868 and 1876. The Democratic
party, where you are offered proper
share Of the offices, is your only
salvation from political slavery.

Which ?

The surrender Of The armies Of The
Confederate States in 1865 was the
grandcst opportunity this country
ever knew for their conquerors to rise
above party and power and lace,
and, with charity us broad as thus
noble country itself, to bury forever
sectional bitterness and to secure the
unity Of the States by acts Of the
purest philanthropy and the noblest
heroism. This only opportunity Of
performing the greatest act known in
history was lost by The Republicans
because, drunk with power, they di-
vided the States by unjust legisla-
ton. and intensified sectional hatred
by suhjccting the South to cruel
vandalism and creating race preju-
dices as bitter as Northern adventur-
crs were dishonest. BY such disrcp-
utable means the Republican party
have lived and retained power ever
since thay first secured the control of
the government TO the present time.
The nomination Of Mr.. Garfield, Il
strict scctionalist, indicates that they
propose to fight it out upon the same
llne-race against race, North against
South and color against co'or, and If
their policy be successful, next No
vcmber will tind us a divided country
and distracted races. On The other
hand the nomination of Gen. Han
cock seems TO be call for union and
harmony, because with him there is
no North, no South, no Cast, no
West, no Mason and Dixon line, no
color line and therefore no sectional
hatred nor race prcjudiccs. Every
Union Republican knows ths-in-
deed every Intelligent man North re-
cognize in Gen. Hancock, another
grand opportunity to make this ma
ton union Of states in fratcrnal
peace without scctionalism or race
prcjudices, and they mean to do it.
The tide from Garfield TO Hancock
has already set in and will have
reached its flood when November
comes. Hancock is drawing sup
porters from every party, while Gar
field is losing some Of his best follow
ers.

Reduction.

this change ON what we conceive TO be
sound business principles, and do not

iota9in giving the citizens Of Orange

way worthy of their patronage and

in price to place the Democrat in the

Commissioner Colt.

Commissioner Colt publishes a
statement saying that the amount of
bank bills counted and certified to by
Laughln is $3.50, ,557.75, and that
the deficiency is S1S,529.SO. 1t has
been suggested that Mr.. Colt she uld
decline the nomination of Colnptrol-
ler-Gencrnl. We think this wOnlh be
Il wise and patriotic step on the part
Of Col. Colt, and would relieve the
party OF a heavy load in The coming
campaign. No one charges Colu"cl
Colt with completely or wrong in this
matter, yet the fraud was perpclrated
in his Office, and that fact is sufficient
for his withdrawal from the ticket.
We must look this thing square in
the face, and DO what is best for tho
welfare of the whole party. We dc
not believe that Colonel Colt can be
elected.

The Convention.

1t will be seen by the proceedings
of the County Executive Committee
that the 25th of August next is APP
pointed fer the meeting of the nomi,
mating convention. In order that this
body may accomplish the largest
apoupt of good for the party and
county, it is very desirable that the
clubs select thcir best men rs dele.
gates-mcn who can lay aside sell
nnd personal prejudiccs and address
themselves to tho interest Of their
country. The success Of Democracy
and the welfare of our people de:
mqnd that a ticket be put in the
field that can command the cordial
support OF every voter in the county.
To SECURE this end We would suggest
that each club hol'l primary elections
and the candidate that gets the high
est number. OF. votes for eacll Office be
supported by the delegates at the
County Convention, and the candi-
date that receives the next highest
be held in reserve as second choice
Such course will disarm lingism,
thwart wire-pulling and secure in the
ticket, as nearly as possible, the col
rect sentiment Of the people. 1t will
make the labor of the convention
comparatively light by enabling it 10
elect nominee on the first or second
ballot. Such plan favors instructed
delegations, but only so far rs voting
for nominees is concerned, in every
thing e'se it leaves the delegates un-
trammeled and free to act as they
deem best for the public good.
Where candidates are known and the
offices to be filled arc of personal in
terest TO the people, instructed dele
cations is the policy for nominating
conventions.

I. Why MOT ?

The Congressional and judicial
Conventions are called to meet Au-
gust 3, 1880, at Charleston. Mr.. Nj.
p. O'Connor will and should be his
own successor in the Congressional
nomination for many reasons, but. we
object to Charleston's gohbling up
everything. AS regards the Solicitor
ship we must be excused for saying q
word in reply TO the Ne,Us and Cou.
rier's statement that "thc hearty en-
dorscment given by the County Con-
vention to Mr.. w. st. Julien Jcrvcy,
the present Circuit Solicitor, virtually
insurcs to him nomination for that
office, rs there is no other candidate
in the field from Charleston County,
and Charleston County will send
more than four-firths Of the delegates
composing the Judicial Convention.
This is supcrcrogatory information
that is alarming to the citizens of Or
angeburg. Are we to understand
that tue mere endorsement Of the
Charleston Convention is cause sutll
cicnt TO secure the entire vote Of the
Charleston delegation for candidate
without reference to any claims Or
angeburg may have in The matter?
SO far as numbers arc concerned we
know that the five delegates from Or
angeburg caunot outvUtc the twenty
from Charleston but other considcra-
lions should enter into tho make up
Oft the ticket, especially since Orange
burg has an equal interest with Char.
icston in this Office, and is expected
to do her full share towards elcctino
whoever is nominated. If tliis rule
obtain in every election, Mr.. Jcrwey
or anybody else, endorsed by the
Charleston Convention, can hold the
office cd intnituna, and il is no use for
The Orangeborg members TO attend
We suppose it will be very pleasant
for these five gentlemen to visit the
city and attend the meeting Of the
Judicial Convention and see how
easily The Charleston delegation car
provide q candidate for the Solicitor
ship Of the First Circuit, but in nc
event must they open their mouths
or they may be expelled from the
Convention by tho four flfths Of which
our contemporary boasts.

Dow Accents.

Gen. Aeale Dow, Presidential can
didate of the National Prohibtionist,
has written bis letter Of acceptance
and comes out squarely for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic through
out the country. He is outspoaen
ard to the point, leaving no comfort
for dram drinkers, whiskey sellers
and beer brewers. His pluck is good
but his chances for election are hope
lessly slim. Indeed the party OF
WHICH he is the standard bearer is in
as hopeless q minority in this country
to-day as tue Abolition idea was when
first conceived and promulgated by
Lord Broughham in England. If,
however, whiskey slavery can be sup
pressed aud finally abolished within
ahe same time and even at the same cost
as hupaR slavery was, then civilization
will have Won another great victory
and America the theatcr OF another
great civil revolution. There is but
little difference iD tile criminalty OF
the old slave trade and the present
liquor traffic, and there is as much
legal right in the cpe as in the other :;
whilest the opposition to the spread
of the Christian religion is thous
and Limes as great in he whiskey
traffic rs in the slave trade. The
amount of human suffering caused by
the two cannot be compared, so great
is tue odds in favor of whiskey. The
Republican party bccamc the cham
pion of Brougham's idea in America
and ills only grand achievement was
the abolition Of human slavery; why
may not the Democratic party become
the champion in. America of the Pro-
lihitionesl's idea and let one of its
grandest achievements he the aboli-
tion of the whiskfy traffic.

STATE SENATOR HARPER. of the Mt,
Vernon Banner, introduced joint reso-
luton into the Ohio Senate, a week or
30 ago, that should meet with approval.
The resolution sets forth, substantially,
that whereas the paper manufacturers
of this country have advanced the price
of paper about forty per cent. above the
already high cost, without any just or
necessary reason whatever for such an
advance that, therefore, our Senators
and Representatives in Congress be re-.
quested and instructed to vote for a
repeal of the present duty on paper.
Let foreign paper dealers have a chance
to compete with home monopolists. This
monopoly increases the selling price of
every sheet of paper and the price of
school and other books, as we'll as letter
paper. There are not many individuals
engaged in the manufacture of paper, but
the burden falls upon the millions. Let
US have something like justice.
