DECORATION DAY.
Sonie conservatives, whose zeal to bridge
the chasm, induces them to sacrifice the
remnant of respect they pretend to hold
the> memory ij^^^^
tributary honor.for the slatn of their de
stroyers, have earned what they deserve :
a snub, from the Union dllicers who were
in charge of the preparations for the de
coration of the federal graves. Tbo or=
der was issued that no flowers should be
strewn upon Confederate graves, .when
the ceremony of garlanding those of the
Federals, was being carried out. A
murmur of outraged feelings wns beard
here and there, but we regard the order
as consistent and proper for more reasons
thnn one. The dead of the North may
be as dear to their homes, as arc the dead
of the South to ours,-but the emotions
that invite the tender offerings of tbcono
side, are far removed and estranged from
the bowing sympathies of the other.?
Theirs is a battle won ; Ours a cause lost;
Theirs a tyranny established. . Ours a
freedom departed. * Side by side fell the
wearers of the bluo and the gray, their
bones whiten the ensanguined field, and
their hands are nerveless by the common
fate of death, and to each is his mead pf
praise due, according to his convictions
of duty, and patriotism. But in accord
ing that praise, let there be, no compro
mise of devotion to truth and principle,
that will condemn the grave of the gray,
to wear no prouder wreath, at the hands
of ms kindred, than is strewn above the
motind of the blue. Wo cannot expect
the fame at the hands of those who dec
orate the federal graves, and why should
we cavil against them, for exercising a
privilege, which we carefully reserve aim
hold donr to ourselves? To mock the
sincerity of their motives is to asperse
the dictates of common humanity. To
expect Northern widows, mothers, and
daughters, to enshrine the "Lost Cause"
in a glorious memory, is a morbid senti?
mentalism, thnt they from their stand
point, as freely reject, as our women MUST
and over shall, the cruel fate that loaves
them without a country to claim, or a
national,fame to boast. Thefaicof both
who fell was common, but the cause up
held by cither, was to the one an km of
jealousy* and hatred, to the other an issue
of lifo and liberty. Botweeri' the*, foes
who fought, and fell (and be tbero honor
to tho bravo) there is an ctornal truce 1,
but between. tho survivors^ so long as
tyranny, perfidy, and baseness are porpe
trated by the otfc, and tho meanest of
slavish chains put upon tho other, thcro
must bo-a distinbtivo expression of na
tional emotion. They mourn the ashes
of mortality ; "Vyci tbe life long?death of
the-Southerner's freedom. There may
boa brotherhood .Of sentiment in tho
blood shed on either side, yet they con-s
tend that tho myriad of their Slain was'
for the purpose of defoating a rebel
lion. Wo claim that tho walls of fraternal
breasts, and rivers of kindred blood, were
bared to tho shook, and drained to the last
drop, to savo an. inalienable*heritago
from spoilation. Tho end is; the) are
boasfed free; wo are fettered ; Shall wo
kiss the hand that smites, or must wo
applaud t he homage they demand of us
in-our degradation. Bather let there be,
if needs there must; a decoration day
for each. Let them heap high their
garlands on their dead, wo envy them
hot, we accord them tho ' right. To us
may there always remain an anniversary,
when in tears and sadness, our women
may leave their "harps upon tho wil
lows," and may meet to scatter the cy
press of eternal mourning over graves,
that shall ever be green, with the fresh
ness of-the laurel, and where Hope shall'
promise,
"3?iing blooniB of freedom, out of barren soil."

Charleston Letter.
Charleston, June 4,1873.
The second.annual Shutzenfcst of the
Irish Ilifle Club, was*|"celebrated with as
much spirit as was possiblo, when the.
thermometer pointed up toward tho nine
ties. Active amusements were out of tho
questions; except to tho votaries, of Terp
sichore, who inspired by tho melodious
music of the bands, courageously glided
through the mazes of the dance, although
one experienced an uncomfortnblo feel
ing of warmth to evcu look on. Those
patriotic feelings however which co&Td
not vent themselves in games, &c, were
developed strongly in tho numerous
Speeches. An.Irish Club from Sayaur
JJAb^tft^tWctmnge"of prizes, called forth
mauy "efforts," some of them creditable.
?\Vc have never heard ao many spoechc9
in the same space of time, every person
interested had some "remarks" to make
from early in the afternoon until the
shades of night drew near, the "remarks"
continued?and we wero fain to leave
the Orators spouting, "and the crowd as
contentcdly'listcning, as if they had but
just commenced?an amusing feature,
was the orowning of each "Demo?thenes"
after he *1iud had his say, with an im
mense straw hat, a couple of yards in
diameter, constructed out of a door mat
of the largest size, whether thi3 is a Na
tional Irish custom or not, ' we were
unable to learn, it is certainly a very
curious one. In the target practice, the
Clubs want experience, to equal our Ger
man marksmen, ajid the centre shots were
few as compared to those of tho first fest.
Tilting was engaged in by a Cavalry
Company, but we are inclined to believe
neither horses nor men enjoyedit, the
spectators certainly could* not, as a cloud
of dust was raised at each charge, and
the efforts required to keep it out of ones
eyes prevented a satisfactory view of the
performance.
A humble follower of "Lucrctia Bor
gia" has "turned up," as would appear
from an occurrence happening a short
time sine'e. A young lady just about.en
tering the blissful state of matrimony,
was tho recipient of a wedding present?
an ornamented cake. We arc unable to
learn what produced the impression, (ex
cept that there is a suspicion bf the green
eyed monster being about) but the lady
fancied the cake was poisoned, and the
boy who carried it, as well as the party
sending, were hurried down to a Trial
Justice for examination, here the cake
was produced, the justico viewed it,
smelt it, the constables viewed it, handled
it, smelt it, the crowd did ditto, and after
much smelling and still more handling,
it suddenly appeared to the limbs of tho
law, that the proper course would be to
have, it analyzed by some competent
chemist?off started constables with cake
to chemist,?competent chemist flatly ro
fuscd to havo any connection whatsoever
with the aflhir, alleging that sometime
before, the State bad employed him to
carry on a difficult and tedious analysis,
requiring an outlay from his own pocket,
and that in return he bad received noth
ing, that his patriotic feelings did not
' , ? ' '?'* !
admit of doing this a second tinio. The
last person who has secn^W^^ej ro?
ports it to bej reduced iu size, and much
discolored from the numerous fingers it
has passed through. This affair lias pro^.
ducod some excitement, and v*c would
suggest to young iuar-vied couples, the
advantage of having a chemist ready to
net in an emergency of this kind.
The "Jim Island possufn hunters," the
veterans of tho const, seem* to be suffering
from a species of hydrophobiaiipap tue
following account from a gentlemen of
responsibility will testify. -A? jpwuter
walking in his field during the ?dsgjLwos,
surprised to see a negro lying down*, Ap
parently in a fit, his tongue hanging out,
and bis eyes rolled up in an unpleasant
manner.' While the gentleman senfeomo
ofchis hands to obtain a cart for-the suf
ferer, he also procured some water and
sprinkled it On the prostratg African,
after a timo the convulsion appeared to
bo over, and the "possum hunter" sat up
and reported, that be was on his way to
a neighboring village, when <takcn.a?d
denly.Biek?a smile of gratitude over-,
spread his countenance as he looked at
the planter, and he expressed himself
desirous of emdracino his prcser ver. j?a.
sLiarrr way. of showing his appreciation*
of tho service, rendered him?this the
gentlemen assured him was needless-^
but the darkey thought otherwise, and
replicd,?not only was he anxious to affec
tionate hug the man who had saved, hj?
life,.but determined so to do; ho saying
ho proceeded to carry out bis intcntio%..
Being pressed to the bosom of a six-foot
darkey on a hot summers day was more
than tho nerves of tho planter could*
stand, and he beat a rapid retreat^the
"possum hunter'-' after him, a despcraie
race euBued,*which resulted in tho Afri
can catching tho white man, fhrowing
him on the -{ground, and proceeded to
Strangle him, fortupatcly thn% hands sent
offfor.thc cart arrived just about thjs
time, and after much, rcsistcucc succeed
ed in securing tile negro, who proved to
be a raving maniac. The planter, hence
forth, will never allow his humane feel
ings to render him inscusiblo to the dic
tates of prudence.

Mr. Editor :?I have just read a short
notice copied by tho. "News & Courier"
from your paper to the effect, that my.1
sureties had withdrawn their nnfhesfrom
] my bond for tbe...reftS0D--nf mv.:rj^
I need not tell you that I was surpris
ed, as they all Were well aware of my
purpose to come here for a few weeks for
my health. . My. business was lefT in
careful hands, viz: Mr. J. II. Walhers,
assisted by my clerk, Master Albert F..
Glover, who has been with me for near
two years, and knows- every detail con
nected with tho office* Whatever mo
tives notuatcd tho gentlemen who wore
on my bond, I certainly was entitled to
some notice of their intention,
j You will see the position I am placed
in at the department. I am also placed
in a false position before tho people of
j Ornngeburg County, who will naturally
come to the conclusion that I have left
tho State for good. I shall return imme
diately and endeavor to get other bonds
men or resign the office.
Respectfully,
F. DeMARS.
J [We cordially give place to the above,
and will add that the notice referred to,
was inserted because it was a current re
port of public interest. Mr. PeMnrs as
a postmaster, gave great satisfaction, and
bis zeal in tho welfare of our town, as an
adopted citizen, left our minds tree from
any suspicion of an intention on bis part
to "leave tho State- for good," We had
heard him freely express his intention to
make a short visit, and regretted the dif
ference between his sureties and himself.
