""FRIDAY, FKBUAKY 6, L8S0.
Tlie'fffo l*oliclc*J?
There are two policies in the
Democratic party of the State, each
of which seems to have its adherents.
Tho one known as the Gary policy
is pretty well set forth in lite publish
ed interview in the News and Courier
With this policy we have never
sympathized in word or actiou, be
cause it ignores the colored man.
The absurdity and inconsistency, of
such an idea is apparent upon its
face.
It matters not how ungrateful the
colored people may be of the benefits
of Democratic government, no mat
ter bow persistently in their blind
folly they may work and vote, against
us we should never be inconsistent.
The Democratic party is the people's
party, and as such there can bo? no
distinctions under it as to race or
color. To make such distinctions
would be to stultify ourselves as a
party, and prove unfaithful to our
promises
Gen. Gary deserves credit for a
great many things, lie is a man of
natural force and ability and lime
has proven that many of his measures
s a legislator, although unpopular
at the time, have been wise?but we
can never endorse his peculiar policy,
or his political views.
The other policy is erroneously
styled the Hampton policy, but it is
more properly the Kershaw or Unt
ier policy, having been inaugurated
by these gentlemen in the campaign
of 1870, belore Hampton came out
again into public life.
This policy \<, as we have indicated
above, one of liberality and conserva
tim. J?, recognizes the political ami
civil rights of the colored man, and
makes no distinctions of this char
acter against him on Account of color.
We have advocated this policy
since 3870, and it is the same policy
which Hampton's name gave power
and success to in 1K7(>, and which we
are satisfied is the true policy of the
Democratic party, despite. Gen.
Gary's talk to the contrary, ami
despite too the apparent indifference
and actual ingratitude of a great
majority of the colored people. It is
our duty to do right, no matter what
others do. Inconsistency is a* dis
reputable in parties us in individuals.
-?WK? . . . ?
Gary und Hampton.
To use Gen Gary's own expression
we hate to see the ''dirty linen of the
party washed in public," but we
don't think Gen. Gary's reply to
Col. Ilaskoll will be satisfactory to
tho public. It is true that he reit
terates his charges against Hampton,
and denies all that is said about him,
self but he docs it through a reporter,
and not over his own signature as
Col. Haskell demands. His excuse
is that his quarrel is not with Haskell,
who, he says, is seeking prominence
which he is not disposed to give him.
The main question is, who sold out
Tilden? Hampton and Gary mutual
ly accuse t ach other of it. Haskell
olFers to prove that Hampton is inno
cent, and that Gary ia the guilty
one, JNow, if Gen. Gary was very j
anxious for the truth to appear, he
ought not to stand on trifles, hut put
himself in the position that the in
vestigation which he confesses he
desires may come.
We regret to see any thing of this
personal character in print, and we
would not publish it were it not for
the fact that it has gone so far that
there is no ret real, and it seems best
now that the rvhole truth should ap
pear.
If Southern leaders have sohl out
Tilden for Hayes, in order to get
South Carolina and other Southern
Sintes in Democratic hand4, let all
dodging cense, and the truth be
known. There need however ho n o
bitterness in the investigation. Por
Bonalilics accomplish no good in tho
?earch aller truth. Our senlimcntH

W i- deprecato the. publication lot'
such articles, Smith Carolina is in I
no condition lor her prominent eons
lo quarrel among themselves, and,
whatever may ho the provocation,
patriots should bury their private
grievances and work harmoniously
lor the good <?!* the .-'tale. South
Ctuolitut needs h. e Gilrys and her
Haskells. In the prcsenco ol a com
moii enemy, waiting to plunder and
devastate the State, all bickerings
and lends should he hushed and ?' t
lled. C rimination and recrimination
widens the breach and gives the poli
tical robbers hopes of more yoars of
stealing fiom an impoverished
people."
thtr Fire I>ei>arlHnonl.
There is hardly an ytbing more im
portant to a growing town limn effici
ent lire department, and our citizens
need no hi cor proof of it than the
saving of property which has already
been accomplished, even by our poor
ly equipped firemen.
The young men forming our fire
companies have much less at stake
than the property holders, and yet
i they devote themselves with* public
j spirited zeal lo this noble cause.
All they a.-l; is aid and encourage
ment from the citizcus.
They are willing lo work, but they
claim the means to work with.
The engine of the Young Americas
is not adequate to the occasion. The)*
need a new engine and it is the duty,
as weil as the interest of the proporty
holders, to give it to them.
Resides, the Hook and Ladder
Company is far, from being properly
equipped.
Much is needed lo per fee! both of
these organizations and render them
lit for any emergency*.
Rut in addition to equipment,
thorough organization is needed. The
department must be strictly discip
lined, in oidcr thai there should be no
disorder I ut complete unity of action
and obedience to orders at fires.
Let our citizens take a pride in
their firemen, and our Town Council
do all it can to make the lire depart
ment ofOiangeburg as efficient as any
Other in the State.
Kill or Ctrr? V
Jt appears from the diversity ol
opinion expresstd by our lea lers that,
there is no fixed policy adopted for
tho .coming campaign. Gen. Gary
belches forth his "staighloutism*''
Gov. Hampton .-till sings his soujs ol
peace and reconciliation; and now
the Keics tun? L'ou ier conies out. with
its "kill or cure" policy, an I wo fear
its editorials on this subject will
throw the iuI into the tire.
In last December during the ses
sion o; the Legislature it advocated
the passage of a Registration law with
an educational qualification attach
ed which would confine the voting to
those who can read and write, and
place us in tho same condition ;>.s
Massachusetts, Connecticut and other
Northern Republican State-1 which
allow none to vote who cannot "read
the constitution anil write his name."
The legislature adjourns! last
Christmas without taking any action
upon the suggestion of our Charles
ton cotcmporaty; and now, in view
of the extra Hission, the advice upon
this matter is renewed by the same
paper in another < ditorial.
The orgumenl of the N< on/
C<o//-/<vis,in subdance, that the copi
ed people cannot be persuaded to be
come und remain Democrats, and
that revolutionary meas'irei arc con
trary to the moral sense of the c on
muuity;lhat mi educational qualifica
tion would not he levelled at race bill
would act upon white and black
alike, and would in addition be a
strong incentive for the acquisili m ot
knowledge for which nil would h ive
equal chance-; and that we could
hardly go wu ng in following in the
footsteps of the Northern Republican
Slates.
Such is the position ofourcoteni
porary which we have stattd hriefl)
and without comment. Whether the
Democratic Legislature will take any
action in the mailer, or puss it by uo
noticed as In-fore, remains to be seen.

ECcIiy'M Vl'orlt liiil\ew York.
The following extract from an edi
torial of the Columbia ll*gistcr shows
the jeo pnrdy in which the dissentions
(if political loaders in Now ? ork
have placed the National i'omo
cracy :
"If the liepublican Legislature
ch ocecs to slect^the Picsidcntinl elec
tor* they have the lull constitutional
right to do BO, and every law abiding
citizen must rnspeel that plain right.
The Constitution sty.* in unequivocal
words: 'Euch Slate shall appoint, in
such in tinner as the Legislature :lure
of may din. ct, a number of electora
eijual to the whole number of Sena
tors and Representatives to which
the Slate may he entitled in Con
gress.' The.-e words and the ineanin?
thereof cannot be disputed. And if
the Legislature ol New York choose
to direct that th^ manner shall be by
the joiut vote of the two Houses of
the Assembly, the question L hope
lessly gone beyond a shadow) of a
chance of resistance or remedy."
The only hope is that the Legisla
ture in the great and eulightcned
State of New Yotk will not dare to
depart from an established custom,
aud in defiance, of I he people, tika
from them a right ahich they have
so long enjoyed.
But the dangers from ihe disnea
ti on s of the paity are not confined k>
New York. In Georgia the Demo
cratic organization it* threatened *itb
disruption by the Independents, un
der the lead of Dr. Fe I ton, who ara
joining with the Radicals.
The Democracy ennaot a fiord to b*
d ivided in ll is way, and we hope by
pointing at the.?e t\uks and quick
sands in time, we may ?void destruo

Pay sun said about these animals.
In my opinion they are uot only
I in the majority of casei useless, bill
i a burden and nuisance. Nine out of
every U-u could be dispensed with.
They eat as much as a man,and thus
consume what could sustain human
life, and, besides, they arc often a
terror to harmless travellers on tho

'J he tax on them ought to bo iai.^

On last week some of the Charles
ton merchants .-.r::i a p inted circular
to Orangeburg, stating (herein that
the fare on S. C, U. II., frotu (Jrange
burg to Charleston ivouhl ho ouc cent
per mile for tiie excuniion. Orange
burg being 80 miles from Charleston,
the fare bot It ways won id be ?1 l>0.
It now appears from the K. ii < ii
cu'nrs that the round trip is ?'2 Id,
on y 'JO cents less than from Colum
bia. This change aud consequent
disappointment has kept many from
going to the "City by ihe Sea" from
here. EuiSTO.

Immigration.
/Ctittor Orangeburg Times:
One <>f the first nets of the Demo
crats when they got into power
should have been the establishment
of an Immigration Bureau. No
greater benefit both politically and
agriculturally could accrue to the
State, than from an influx of foreign
immigrants. I am satisfied that the
tiny will come when we will wee our
error on this point. I have seen
several copies of the State Builder, a
new paper published in Spurtauburg
iu the inter :st of Immigration by
Mr. Tilman K. Gains, and good must
re.-iult from it. The press don't agi
late this (pie9tiou enough. It In too
important a matter to allow-to stag
nate. While thousands of immigrants
aro daily passing through New York
to build up the West, why can't some
of the tide be diverted to poor South
Carolina. We can do it if we will.
Why will we not?
