Notes.
?A Western Republican paper
says iL '.'isn't opposing Grant's nomi
nation," luit merely calls attention to
the fact that he was t]?e head of tho
worst gang of thieves known in his
tory.
?To go back to. Grant would bo
for the Republican party to assert
that it made a mistake when it nomi
nated Hayes, that all its reform reso
lutions uerc false pretences, and
that it wauls a return of tho old times
when bummers wore at the front, and
jobbery nourished.
?Mr. Hayes was once an obscure
member of Congress, and jt never
occurred to him when in Congress
that political riders were improper.
He voted for all that his party
brought forward while ho held a
seat in the House. But now such
riders nie -very vicious things in his
mind. He has repudiated his own
record in order lo help his party.
?Our Republican friends have now
a capital opportunity to prove the
sincerity of thejr friendship for the
colored roan and brother by giving
ihe colored Senator the second place
on the Presidential ticket. He
wants it?which js more than can bo
said of some Qlber Republican states
men?and as his race provides a largo
percentage of the party's voters it is
only lair that he should have it.
?Eaton, a little town in Gibson
county, Tcnn,, boasts a citizen who is
postmaster, mayor, justice of the
peace, Sunday-school superintendent,
newspaper correspondent, worshipful
mnstcr in tho masonic lodge, elder in
the church, leader ol the choir, cotton
speculator, extensive farmer, deals
largely in thoroughbred chickens,
impoits line grades of wheat, runs a
reaper and thieshcr, and is a profes
sional mule trailer.
?Floiida is not too young to have
an utterly obliterated city. St. Jo
seph was once a thriving seaport, the
terminus of a railrcad, a shipping
p int for hundreds of thousands ol
cotton bales annually, and the supply
depot for the western section of the
State. It lost \is commerce, dwin
dled tepidly in population, was swept
by yellow fever, and finally a tornado
leveled the last of the houses. The
place is now a wildcmets,
?An investigation into the influ
ence of females in the public service
of the United Slates, if pressed into
personalities would be ihe biggest
scandal this country ever had. But
liiere is no fear of its taking place, and
when it comes to he opened the defense
need only write against tho wall in
large letters: "Let him who is with
out offense cast the fust stone," and
thcic will never bo a full committee
inised in that whole Cong i ess and
Senate.
?The New York UcxalU thinks thai
unless his opponents spur up con
siderably Grant cannot lie headed off
at Chicago, while unit-Grant papers,
experiencing the delightful sei.salion
of having a candidate stuffed down
their throats by negro rabbles in Ihe
Southern States, h?tetly suggest that
the Republican ijoimna ion should bo
lelt to those Slates that will do the
toting. Tbe Fifteenth Amendment
is coming home to roosl with a venge
ance.
?The "Confederate Brigadiers"
cheerfully vote millions annually out
of ihe pockets of I heir own people to
pay pensions and arrearages and sup
port homes ibr ihe soldiers who tri
umphed Over them in the war of the
rebellion. But, when it it??proposed
to pension the Mexican veterans the
Republican party solidly opposes the
proposition, because they fought in a
Democratic war, and for the further
reason that many of them reside in
the South.
?The Sotilh asks for a President
whose heart, if not in thorough sym
pathy with all tho aspirations of her
people will contain a warm place for
them. One who has faith in their
professions of fidelity lothe Constitu
tion nnd tho laws. One who recog
nizes their '-equal rights" as citizens
of the great republic, and icspects
their '?reserved rights," as citizens of
their respective states?can the South
doubt that Baycnl, whoso little bor
der commonwealth is itself merged in
the communion of the "Solid South/'
will meet all those requirements?
?Post Master General Key, who
erred from the Democratic faith and
accepted a Cabinet appointment un
der Mr. Hayes, has made a good
officer. Ha has been laughed at for
his attempted reforms in the address
on letters, nnd the change in the
names of offices. But when one
thinks of the thousand and ten thous
ands of letters that miscarry, he will
be ready to sympathise with Mr. Key
in his work of Reform. Wo hope, wo
may nevor have n worso officer or
worse man at llio .head of the postal
department than erring brother lvey.
Tho funeral of Patrick Hoy, better
known .as James Cooke, the clown
and equestrian, J?te of Baruum's
great show, was bold yesterday after
noon. When-Mr. Cooke knew that
ho was about to die ho wus asked b)
tho priest who attended bin) to re
nounce tho principles of Masonry, to
I which ho bad been ardently attached
I from his boyhood. IJc refused to do
this, saying that Masonry was as
'good a religion lo dio by as the Cath
olic faith. Jn requested that none bul
j Masonic coienioniies should bo held
j over his body, and his request was
! fulfilled to the letter.'
?Allen Thurman, Jr., a son of the
Senator, says: *'My father wants
uone of tho complimentary business.
He is going inio tho Cincinnati Con
vention to make a square tight, to
either win or lose. There is no doubt
that Tilden and Payne have formed a
combination to beat us, but 1 don't
think they will succeed. Il is hardly
fair. It is just as father said when be
was last in Washington. No man in
Ohio in either party can rise in the
slate of national political prominence
about three feet three without a num
ber of tho envious members of his
party make an attempt to cut oil his
legs."_
United.
Notwithstanding an occasional as
jscrlion to the contrary, we believe
'the Democratic party is stronger to
day, both National nnd State, than at
any period since tho war. The or
ganization is more complete and com
pact, the management less open to
criticisms, the leaders enjoy in n
greater degree the confidence of the
people, and the people themselves
are more determined and of nepessily
belter tutored in party allegiance
than at any previous campaign since
parly fealty has been felt to be a ne
cessity. There must of necessity be
some friction at times in its workings,
it would bo a miracle if there were
1 not, but not sufficient to interfere ma
? terially with the barmouy of the parts ;
there will bo dissensions bul not of
sufficient bitterness lo hazard the uni
ty at piesent prevailing ; partisanship,
because of favorite candidates, will,
from time to lime, manifest Usch
among the elements of the party;
these, and like troubles, are to.be ex
pected in every organized bpdy coin
posed of elements representing every
interest known to a progressive peo
ple. There is, however, a central
point in the great Democratic circle
to which every interest will bo found
converging, it mailers not what or
how great may be the intervening
, difficulties. Security of person and
protection of property as found to oxi
1st in every well ordered government
will always, draw to their support the
honesty and intelligence from every
. class in society ; and the greater these
ate threatened, the more powerful
will be the converging tendency of the
various interests. Upon no theory
can the present satisfactory condition
of tho party bo accounted for than
this. Centralization threatening Ihe
overthrow of the time-honored princi
ples of Republicanism, tinder winch
Ihe growth of the nation has reached
its present maturity, forces the na
tional interest lo Ihe central point;
whilst Radicalism at ihe South, with
its domination ot vice over virtue,
dishonesty over honesty, and igno
ranee over intelligence stands as a
hideous menace to Southern civiliza
i tion driving the Stale to the protec
tion of the persons and property of
her citizens. Under the circumstances
j who can wonder at the unity existing
in the Democratic ranks? or who can
fail to admire the devotion of our cit
izens of every class lo principles which
embody their own safety and tho hon
or of the government they love?
When the Convention meets in Cin
cinnati and puts a national ticket in
the Held, sectional division and con
tention will be forgotten in tho com-!
man welfare of tho whole country;:
i and when the Stale and County Con
ventions nominate their tickets, indi
vidual dislikes and prejudices will
give place lo Ihe hearty and earnest
support of the parly's candidates.
Every citizen feels the importance ol
the issues involved in this campaign 1
and moans to do his whole duty in
order that a successful end may be
had to the contest. The spirit of
unity between the various elements of
the party so necessaiy for its success
in tho fall, should bo fostered up to
(he last moment. Tho victory of the
National Democracy will be tlu end
jof centralization, and the victory of
I the State Democracy will be the
death of Radicalism in South Caroli
na.
Emigration.
According to the ratio of arrivals of
foreigners during the past four months
it is estimated that not less than 400,
000 immigrants will land upon our
shores the present year. Tho desire
lo better one's condition is doubtless
; the motive and the partially settled
[condition of the affairs of America is
tho inducement of this unparalleled
emigration. This multitude of foreign
ers is to bo distributed over the West
and South, tho North and East being
already crowded ; and it is but the in
evitable .consequence of logictd rea
soning to sny that when tho fertility
of our soil, the salubrity of our cli
mate, the large scope of country to be
occupied, and the correct condition
of our society, are known throughout
the countries of Europe, a largo share
of those who come here will find their
wuy to the South whether invited to
come or not. The occupation of the
vast scope of land, lying idle in the
Southern Stales at this moment, is
but a question of time, and perhaps
the nerr future will witness our land
teaming with a working population,
and growing great under tho influ
ences of a diversified industry which
is a nation's prosperity. It has got
ten to bp airuost an axiom that no
State can grow rich and powerful fol
lowing a single pursuit. On the map
of the world those people,who have ad
vanced equally in the Ihreo great fac
tors of national wealth, Manufactures,
Agriculture and Commerce, are read
ily recognized as a controlling nation :
England and the Northern States of
Ameiica arc types of these; while
those who cultivate any one of these
at the expense of the others are as
easily seen to be the dependent na
tions; Austria and our Southern
States are types of these. The South
should not he satisfied with her pres
ent popdition ; her abundant resources
of minerals, fertility of soil and water
power should cause her people to ex
pect a higher position and u more con
trolling influence on this continent at
least. This is evident from Iho tran
sition state through which wc are
passing. Already capital is being in
vested in manufactures here, statistics
indicate a large per cent, of increase
in both grain and cotton and the ship
and railroad combinations being form
Oil prove that our people arc alive,
enterprising and progressive. What
the future before us is, time must de
velop, but this tide of emigration is
freighted with benefits to the South
if her people will catch it on the
Hood.
Tho Convention.
Perhaps one of the most harmoni
ous political meetings ever held in the
county was that which convened in
the Court House last Saturday, the
proceedings of which will be found in
another column of this issue. Dele
gates from every section of the coun
j ty were here and seemed thoroughly
imbued with the spirit of unity, indi
cative of that political agreement
which pervades the entire party.. This
is certainly encouraging in view of
the opposition to be met from the
j Radical party during the campaign of
J which this is the nu&picous opening.
If we have correctly judged the senti
ments of the people as represented
by the delegations to this Convention,
a Democratic triumph is already as
sured for Orangeburg County. The
only fear ever entertained was from
Independcntism which might aiise
from partisans of favorite candidates
for the different county offices to be
filled at the next election. More or
less of this is to be expected, but
from the complexion of this Conven
tion the rancor of partisanship will
not be carried to an extent sufficient
ly far a9 to embarrass the party in
the slightest degree. After nomina
tions have been ouce marie, dissen
sion will cease and every man will be
found giving his cordial support to
the ticket, it matters not what names
may be upon it. No mere personal
preferences of individuals will be al
lowed to stand in the way of a com
plete Democratic success. It is true
that for a few positions there are
several candidates in the field, but
each one has signified his intention to
abide by the nominations when made,
and to work as earnestly for the suc
cess of the ticket as if no disop oint
ment had occurred. This is the true
spirit of unity which means strength,
and its continued cultivation will give
the Democratic party an unlimited
louse of power in Orangebnrg County.

The Knights of Honor.
The Supreme Lodge of the Knights
of Honor of the United States began
its .annual session in Charleston on
last Tuesday in the Masonic Temple.
Thirty-two States were found, on call
ing the roll of deb gales, to be repre
sented, and the Lodge proceeded
immediately to business. In the
evening a grand reception was ex?
tended to the visiting brethren by the
Charleston Lodge, the (1 rand Lodge
of the Stato and by the citizens of
Charleston in the Hibernian Hall, the
capacious room of which was crowded
to its utmost capacity with members
and citizens of the city and State.
Appropriate addresses were made by
Mayor Courleuay, Hon. M. A. Car
lisle, of the State Lodge, and Su
premo Dictator J. A. Cummings, of
Boston, Mass. Row 10. J. Mcynar
die, the orator for the occasion, deliv
ered an excellent oration, giving the
riso and progress of tho order during
its short existence of sevon years.
Tho usual excursion and sight seeing
will be afforded these visitors, aiid it Is
hoped the hospitality of the old city
and the high character of those who
receive it will work for tho mutual
benefit of both.

The Sensation of the Period!
?ti'tnijuro l*ut; True I
HARD TirViES BE GONE!
-o
HAVING been watching /for Homc
time im-i the Hnnnclnl pulse of the
country and the ever varying events of
Ihu trading world wltli a view to the in
crease or decrease our weekly purchases,
we are prepared to announce to oor num
erous patrons that our investigation of
these subjects has been perfectly satisfac
tory and that wo have as a consequence
forwarded larger orders'than over be
fore to our New York agency.
The year 1SS0 therefore begins with
llattentig prospects for fatuuers, mechan
ics and nil other laborers alike. The
financial pulse ot the country is steadily
Improving and having returned almost
to a hard money basis, wo shall gradu
ally but tuirely recover our former pres
tige and the so long declining prosperity
of our beautiful Southern land. IJelng
firmly Impressed with the forc-shudow
ings of these approaching events we huve
made arrangements commensurate with
the demands they will disclose.
Our Agent in New York is already in
receipt ot our instructions directing him
to be on the alert for every hale and fail
ure as well as every house tottering on
the brink of bankruptcy, so that he, with
cash in hand may take in every bargain
and thus enable us during the present
year not only to increase our own re
sources, but to become also a never
changing source of assistunco to our
friends by celling them goods far below
the wholesale market of New York.
It was the credit system that paralysed
onr Industries in the past and unused so
many Interests to droop and wither while
every article needed for family consump
tion doubled hi value. Thus while labor
was inadequately compensated, goods of
every description approached almost fab
ulous prices and thu daily sweat ot a
man's brow barely obtained lor himself
and family the commonest, necessaries of
life. Too much credit will always create
demands greater than the sources of sup
ply will satisfy, hence everything takes
mi upward tendency under its Operations.
On tue other hand cash transactions will
make the supply larger than i he demand
and consequently goods fall to bottom
prices when l|lls rule prevails. Wo long
ago a opted this system and find ilint it
works splendidly in all its bearings. If
you billow it j'ou will be sure never to
buy what you du not want, and in this
Way keep you from the iron clutches of
debt
We pay cash lor all our goods before
they leave the place bought from. Hence
our ability (independent of our unrivaled
facilities for buying) to outstrip and un
dersell all our competitors. The mer
chant who buys on time, (and who of
them doesn't) not only has to pay the high
est prices fur what (hey get but also the
additional percentage added on all credit
sales. Now all this comes out of the Con
sumer, the man who patronizes the time
merchant at home. It will at once be
perceived that the. difference between us
is vast indeed, and that the buyer on
credit system cannot purchase goods a.t
market prices, while wc. by paying cash, I
?ret the most extraordinary bargains tit a
large discoui.t Oil wholesale cash prices.
It Lis therefore quite easy lor us to sell
below other merchants and guarantee
perfect satisfaction hi every case.
Our system is one of our own, and has
many advantages which we shall not ex
plain, bullet it sii flle? that the larger
portion of the benefits arising from it are
reaped by our friends and patrons, and
by it we have established a reputation
near and dear to us. With honesty, fair
dealing, quick sales and small profits as
our watchword* we have conquered the'
I demon of high, prices and forced frcpi
him the acknowledgement that he littSj
been systematical?y swindling and de-1
frauding the people.
We have demonstrated, to thousands
in this and other counties /that it is pos->
sible when dealing with a fair and honor
able merchant who buys strictly for cash,
to purchase goods at prices which were
current before the war. To buy and sell
goods does not necessarily imply that to
be successful one must either be u con
scienceless extortioner or a gr/asping
Shylock. us in every other calling the
merchant can dignify and ennoble hl3
profession or he can sink it into iniquity
and trail its courtly garments through
cesspools of deceit, dishonesty, fraud and
double distilled misrepresentations. He
' can be a blessing or a curse to his coun
try. As for us we prefer a good name
with a slow but steady increase in busi
lie?fl to the gouging process which makes
one merchant rich to-day und a thousand
poor lanners penniless and breadless to
morrow.
Ours is the true plan, by adopting it
you avoid the Scylla of credit on. the one
side and the. Charybdls of a lelu execu
tion on the other. To trade with us is to
insure satisfaction, increase your wealth
and general prosperity. Week alter
week during the present year we shall
spread daily upon our counters a stock
of goods as varied as the leaves of the
forest. A cordial invitation Is extended
to every one who reads this circular to
give us a e?H, no trouble to show goods
or answer questions.
We will sell lor one dollar cash what
you will pay three for in October if you
buy on credit. Wc Duy direct from the
cheapest markets in America for cash
less the large discount, and can and wi,ll
sell as low as the wholesale merchants
of Charleston, New York or Baltimore,
and to those who favor us with their reg
ular custom we oiler as rare inducements
as were ever offered in Ulis or any other
community. Our goods arrive weekly
and must bo sold, iook t?> your interest
and cull on us when you visit town.
Farmers, look to your own welfare,
you who have sunk low and lower each
succeeding year while the iniu?ie men
around you have grown rich in comforts
and wealth, you have barely lived by
working from sun to sun the year round,
while others have added thousands to
their already plethoric treasures, by sell
ing oil credit to you in the spring and
collecting in October and Nobember the
sweat stained profits of many a merciless
bargain. Let our fanners eschew this
in future and learn to watch as well us
pray?let I hem break from the old beaten
pains of credit and ruin, and demand an
equivalent for their money. Let them
aspire to higher and greater achieve
ments than can ever be accomplished on
a credit basis. Let them become more
prosperous citizens of our good old coun
ty by trying a little financiering them
selves. Is it not their right?
To Ibis end we therefore cordi illy in
vite our friends to give us frequent ealls
and we guarantee that not one In a thous
and will ever leave our counters dissatis
fied. Respectfully yours,
