To buildup the interests of our merchant? the aim of the "Times." *;. ' ' '~" <-We print to day an article "The Shod dy Biugpublio" which deserves a careful reading. Coming from the souroe it does, (the organ ot Flymonth Church^ oracle. Henry Ward Beccher) it is sig nificant of repentance and rogryt. The abused South was tho Conservative in fluence which reflected brilliancy of in tegrity, nnd glovy to the* naticr.nl nnnie. flow hor estate is to stand aside, nnd proudly say, wc have nothing to do with yonr infamy. EXPLANATION. In our last issue, under the head of ^ gales-day, in alluding to the postpone ment of the Coui t, lbesc^vor d-T wertT used: "But, as the order of the day is, to be ridden over, let hint (the farmer) got up patience and reins and ride it" over again, and not fail to ba here on Wednesday under a penalty, &c." ,f At the time of writing this we had do ds?* 11 . jjer.oual allusion to the Judge, that was intended to convey the idea that the de lay was attributable to his indifference to the rights of the fanners iu attend ance, nnd if bis Honor so eons!rued it, "we beg to correct the impression. Had wc known at the time of the bereave ment in his family, wc should have re frained frjtn any allusion to the opening of court, except to state that providential causes delayed the arrival of-the*Judge. COTh'ON A (IMX. We have beard the remark offered by men, who, if they do not, rhould know better that "Cotton should be held for bettor prices." This implies two things: ? First, that the staple is not tit its legiti mate value, and, next that cotton should no withheld from market regardless ol' the rights of nil others than the grower. Wo agree that the staple is not at its maximum price, and we go further, and say, if the crop of cotton now ready for market belonged in toto to the growers, thoy would be foolish to put it on tho market, if thoy supposed that by holding it, they could real i/o better prices. But dmrring all other considerations, real or .speculative, the cotton crop is a ioint concern. It is tho legitimate and undisputed property of the factor, or merchant who made advances upon it, nnd the planter who cultivated it. The factor advanced the money to make it; the fanner applied the force and skill. It was a contract, on good faith, and is further a limited, ? und specified contract. On the first part ii will binding that there, should fie ad vancements made, to enable! the farmer to carry on his cropping. On the second part it Was agreed that at a given period " the value of advancements was to be re turned in cotton nl the market value, or. in money to t'no amount of said ndvjuice-i u^cnts. No clause JBf0VJ^c4? *?r ^2?u'n" goncies-H)f ^rjooney panics, -Incukhig of banks, Ac. - In a word, it was a contract mudo toSwffljnt jH??8l CotMp'iicd, and any evasion of its terms is a viola tion of an honorable bond. There is no opportunity for tho farmer to say, "I will not sell my cotton" until ho is the owner of it. "Would ho crush the mer chant and Av^9r^*^y|i|lo lie^vaitB^'for be t tor udficjL?._.Wie-think^mt^._In future, if he would dictate prices ,Jet him be put pf debt?owe no bo?yv merchants, foe tor nor laborer, then he may hold his! crop until it Is as Valuable as sillc. Oth-| erwise he nnisf!'protect his factor or for leit his good name for honesty. This train of remarks, wc are happy to think, applies only to a. few. ... AN UFI'OJiT TO STAY THE PANIC, Northern. udvices reports that the gov ernment invested $1,500,000 in exchange on London for ,lic Navy, and 87(10,000 for the Slate department.

This will bring into market about $10,000,000 in paying interest on Coupon bonds held in Europe. The beucfit of which will not be felt iumedialely.

"Quite Satisfactory for our Frieml, tho Doc tor." ^liht. EmToit ;In responseloathe banter TntluT^iMES of die'18 th 'September',-Di\ | Oliveros "writes to explain" his share in the affairs of tho late Town Council. In that explanation so "satisfactory as far as ov.r worthy friend, the Doctor, is con corned}" some reflections are east upon the remaining members of the late Coun cil which 1 }?cl-called upon torespudin e and denounce. "Our worthy friend the Doctor" in the first plaee says that tho tax levied in June, 1873, was for the ostensible pur pose' of aiding the Firo Department, etc. Tho good Doctor's word "ostensible," is rather ambiguous and very mysterious. What does ho mean? It ho would in timate that tho Town Council or any of j its members levied a tax ami pretends it was for one purpose, and applied it for other purposes, ho makes a charge both malignant and false. The tax re ferred to was levied for the general pur poses of our Town Government. A part of it, one hundred and fifty dollars was paid ouer to the Elliott Hook and Lad der Company in response to hn applica tion from that organization filed with the Council nearly a year previous, and Mellich had been deferred because Coun cil was then engaged in opening the New Street, which enterprise demanded all of the available resources of tho Town. ( By the way, "our worthy friend the Doctor," was opposed to this enter prise and indeed to most others.") The vest of that Tax was applied to defraying the various expenses of the Town. Council would also have been able to have purchased one or two Fire Extinguishers if the clerk hod left his books' in proper order when ho went away on his summer four. Ko ?*Vuch for that Tttx and its application. Then fal lows ft Gup, during which the good Doe tor's time is devoted to other Towns. When he returns is terrified to bear that s?me other improvements have been J made in bis absence. Tbe fall of water j down Market into Amelia Street had ! been diverted by a drain so as not to How over ami Upon the lots on Amelia Street, but to go around these lots down Brouglitoi) Street, and a new bridge bad been put over tho run on the Bull Swam}) road which had been removed sonio years ago, had filled up and backed the water upon adjacent lands, rendering the Town sickly, The good Doctor admits that ''two years ago application was made to council to do these very things. Miss Staloy, ono of tho lot owners on Amelia Street has recently presented to ieil a petition for rclic^A^'''ttiS How of water by this very n>bile4,j The drain wu's construwdRi How Hvnslit, (lone ? The good Do^rjfays he WnJnTrined that no vote waipalHsn upon this matter in Council, and .that the work was done without lawful authority. This I deny. The matter was referred by Council to the Committee oh Streets for action. . Tins 1 eun prove by Cnpt. *Tdj8, V. I/.lar and S.

Bolivor, WiHcock ami my-, self a majority of the C^U^cihy The committee carried out th?ir instructions and gave the drain io Mr, Lucas to ybe( constructed as his skill and experience suggested.. The chain ajnl bridge were built,and built by authqiity. of Council, |? claim that the matter of drainage is second only to the protection of private property in importance. Both these in terest i\3 well as the preservation of the health of Orangeburg havo bcJcui sub served.in the construction , of the., drain on Amelia Street, and the bridge von the Bull Swamp lload. The responsibility ofj jiheac .two iin provcineuts rests upon the Committee on ;Strccts and I am willing to assume tho major share of that responsibility. The letter of -'our worthy friend, the Doctor," is written as lie kept the min utes of the late Council, with a view to exonerate himself from the censure of his fellow citizens for any action w] might seem unpopular,. I .eerlruuly ex onerate the good IJoctor from ail blame and responsibility for all improvements in the Town of Urangeburg during the] last administration, He , dt.-;crves this exoneration at tltc hands [of his fellow citizens. Thus much" I have deemed' proper in response to the Doctor's expla nation ami as due tc my fellow-citizens to whom my record is presented with the request that my official acts be scanned with tho severest scrutiny. isoihing extenuate or set down ought] in malice.
