ing it made a straight issue Mr. Garfield
rather abstractly remarks on the caase Of the
most serious evils which now effect the South, "
that they grew out of want of liberation of
political opinion, but for this he proposes no
remedy. He thinks the nation can aid popu,

scctarian schools.
Now if General Hancock will express his
determination to do the utmost that in him
lies for the promotion of those reforms, for

childish creduity. On his way to the South

Ism he stopped over last Sunday In Chstta-
nooga and caused no little amusement TO the
politicians there by assuring them that he felt
confident of carrying Alabama, Tennessee,
Texas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Missouri
and Arkansas. Why not add Iowa and Mas
sachusetts? The truth is, as a contemporary
suggests, all attempts to awaken an interest in
the greenback cause, as politics are now shap
ing themselves, must be futile and absurd
The party Mr.. Weaver represents is in the
melancholy position of being neither feared
nor courted by anybody. In a word, the rag
baby is dead and the corpse ought to be

Victory! !

Last Tuesday, the 2d of Novem-
Der, 1880, is registered as grand
historic day for Orangcburg County,
and places her above the reproach of
'a doubtful county," Tie election
was, in the main, quiet and orderly.
Every man, who had the right, voted
without hindrance and those who had
not, wore made 10 stand quietly aside
until they learned to be older and
wiser citizens. The Radicala admit
that they never saw 4 more peaceable
election and the colorcd people We're
astonishcd that tncy had no use for
their big clubs and guns and pistols.
Every man was allowed an equal
chance at the box and went away AS
snred that fair election would be
held. Crowds of colored people,
men, women and children tlockcd
around the polls all day ard did not
leave the grounds until the count was
made and the result announced. AT
the majority of the country precincts
the entire day was passed withou:
even a personal difficulty to mar the
peace and good order prevailing, and
in Orangeburg, where Boliver and
Livingston had masscd their forces
from every quarter of The county,
4here were cXhibitedthe most friendly
feelings by both races towards each
other. If it had not been for the
clubs in the hands Of women and the
positive knowledge that the negroes
were armed, there was no other sign
OF the combustiblc material Of Which
the crowd was composed. The So
called United States marshals were at
an early hour made to understand
that they coald not bully the election.
In The face OF all this VIC have gained
aoomplete victory, clecting our entire
county ticket.

Stufinq the Ballot Box.

The Radicals evidently intended 10
carry the late election in this county
hy Gtufiiing the ballot boxes and re-
peatirg, rs they were well aware that
without these means their case was
hopeless, hundreds OF colored men
having determined TO support the
Democratic ticket. Early in tho day
at this precinct two colorcd men were
caught attempting TO vote double bal
lots and were promptly arrested by
the proper officers and lodged in Jail
This threw dampcr on the scheme
by putting the Democrats on the
alert, and the Radicals only succeed
al In getting in about sevenly-five of
their double tickets at this poll. The
plan, however, worked better at other
polls, and success attended their ef-
Forts at many of the precincts. The
plan seems TO have been TO stuff those
boxes in which the Democrats were
: expected 10 have majorilies, as there
avas surplus of votes in all such
lsoxcs and necessitated drawing by
eho managers, while at Radical pre-
cincts, like Fort Motto and Lewis
vile. there wee either nc surplus OF
sotes or a small one only. This
amounts to positive proof of design
OF the party TO stuff the boxes and
carry the election by fraud. But the
little game could not defeat tic will
OF the people, and Geo. Boiver and
John II. Livingston must step down
and out.

The State and Nation.

The Democrats have carried every
county in the State except Beaufort

IN tho national election the Rcpub-
leans have elected their ticket by a
large majority in the electoral col
lege. They have also elected ma
joriLy of the Representatives, having
good working majority in that body.

to see Hancock elected, his elect on

YOU suppose that we propose TO get
down on our knees and beg for South
ern trade? If you do, the vote OF
yesterday doesn't show it. Now, as
far as Southern trade is concerned, it
is not worth going after; all the goods
that are sold in that section Of the
country are sold by Southern men

tions, work cheap (lile the Chinee) ;
they make two or three trips and
during those trips make enough bad
debts to break up All ordinary house.
am sure Cincinnati can do without
your Southern trade SO, if you want
it, why take it and make less noise.
Eight bills out of ten sold South are
usually settled at about fifty cents on
the dollar. Consequently in selling
them goods it is necessary to enlarge
our profits to get even. SO far rs our
Southern Railroad is concerned, 1T is
paid for, and no thanks to the South.
If You want the custom Of The long
haired Southerncrs, why just call
your Southern bull-dozing statesmen
from Cincinnati, and assure you If
they want any goods in Cincinnati
they will have TO come after them
OF course any business house wants
trade, but we prefer to trade with
decent people and not those who car
ry shot guns in their boots. SO far as
the sayings Of the Commercial! and

citizens here by a large majority. If
that be treason to the South, make

" eoi.o' . victory, promised by
'ul oa'np' Ign speakers during their
,"' ling tours and confidently ex-
Led by our citizens, was won by
mo Democracy Of Orangeburg on
Tuesday last. Whilest we rejoice,
and justly, all over the county let us
not forget the very material aid given
by our colored citizens who came no.
bly, up to their highest conceptions OF
Democratic duty and deserve at the
hands Of their white fellow citizens,
the highest cnconiums for their no.
BILE conduct on that occasion. No
man knows the opposition through
which they came, nor can one plo-
perly appreciate the firmncss and
moral courage required to meet that
opposition. Hero in Orangeburg
County, the hot bed of Radicalism,
the theatre Of Webs!er's political
preaching and Bcliver's venom, where
our colored people have been hagri-
den, brow-bnated and bull-dozed by
their leaders, there has been for sew
eral years growing sentiment among
the colored people in favor Of good
goYernmentand the political doctrines
set forth by the Democratic party.
This condition of things has existed
without any special fostering care on
the part Of the white people because
we have failed 10 discriminate in their
favor in employing labors, renting
lands or in the ordinary transactions
Of trade or business. The large
Democratic majorities in the Fork
Branchvillc section, Bnll Swamp,
Lower and Middle St. Matthews and
at other points Of the county, show
how rapidly our colorcd citizens are
breaking off from their old party af.
tiliations, and what we may expect
to resnlt from it by prudence and
honest dealinge on the part of the
whites with the colorcd masses.
Orangcburg county will never again
be enrolled as Radical county but
with her local advantages Of climate,
fertility Of soil and natural resources,
will continue TO advance in the mater.
lal prosperity and happiness Of her
citizens. Every culored man sees
the difference between Radical and
Democratic rule; between the dan
gers that threaten the life of the ci,i-
zen il the one, and the peace that
assures his safety in the other; and
between the want that tcmpts his fam
lily to dishonesty and the assurances
which cheers them with the hope of
ultimate success and prosparity. The
coloied man sees that Dcmocracv
means equal rights TO the citizens,
happiness TO the family and success

it has been dissolved and superseded

For weeks our people have been
absorbed with matters pertaining TO
the campaign. The farm and the
crops have been neglected; indeed
every interest has suffered more or
less from this engrossing cause and
needs now the nnremitting attention OF
our people. Let us therefore address
ourselves to The business Of life, to the
persuit of peace and material pros
perity, that success may crown c"ary
effort, and that our citizens may put
themselves in a position to enjoy the
full benefits OF our grand and glorious
political success. If angry feeling
have been indulged let them now be
torg often, if breaches have been made
in friendship, let them be healed,
and fparty strife and bitterness have
run high let the Judgment OF The bal.
lot box settle all differences. Our
noble state and county need their
children to be at peace before the
blessings Of heaven will crown their
efforts with success or their lives with
happiness. Notwithstanding the nat.
ional outlook, the future is bright for
our people, an'l needs only to he en-
tered upon with the right spirit in or.
