C., tinder datoef March 17, given quite j an interesting roport of a conversar lion with Judge Orr, in which that . I' gcnilemon appears to havo fbt forth I his political views with great fullness I and preoiaion. After a sketchy ucf count of the Judge's residence, man. ner of life and person, the letter proceeds to say: LIKES AND DISLIKES. I In Charleston and among the low country planters generally, ex-Ciovernor Orr is ao object of cordial dislike. When k Confederate" d^n Jfor? brfciired to aihtfcipate before others, the probable downfall of tho cause, and to introduce fn eecret session what was I known as the "Peace JKesolutions." When Governor; ho vat bold enough to rise in the presonce of a l ody of { \3&arleston merchants, at a public din' nor, and utter tmthR, political- *nd commercial, that made them wince, lie bad tho hardihood to affiliate eoci^tlly W^h Qenerala Slckl.ee and Canby, and aid thein iu tho arduio us work of reorganizing the Stated He assumed the responsibility, at which other men shuddered,~of recommending, of. ficially* on the hustings, to the State Constitutional Converitiiii?^-n. republican body ; and finally capped-tbe. cli- '> max of polltioai iniquity, by"permitting liimsflf to be elected to the otlico of Circuit-Judge by iiupublican legislature. People 710 w say r1*A M this ." i./i. " nuu . .^uu y vjru?vnioc,urr was two \ years in advancc of uS had wc fol ' lowed his counbrl the condition of if- i fails would have been sfery .different." 1 But still the prejudice is hereditary . and strong, aud they neither forgive nor forget. I asked the Judge how ho relished this opposition,v'"Why, $ir,''- he answered, "a publio man in South Carolina, who thinks tor himself, must 1 have a hide like a rhinoceros, and forty years of antagonism have made mine so tough tliat all the porcupines in ChvistchdOitf couldn't draw blood ; that is, wlie if I know I'm right." -<Xn the up country, .however, the 1 feeling to-watd. him U'oae of almost universal respect. Known to bo just in his administration of public aft'airs, untainted by the breath of any corrupting influences, often weighed in the balance and never foupd wanting affable with the humblest, and personally nnnnlnr nmnn? oil ?l..o?? ~ ^ ^? j- ??- v^orjUPj | people trust him. Tboy confido in his judgment. * Tho very fact that he predicted long ago present conaequences, and advised the public how to avert them, has moro than ever increased faith in his wbdom, and fixed, an I am impressed, a determination bytboovaads to adapt hi* policy. What that policy is, is forewhadcJwed in the following conversations: THE PHILADELPHIA VOIWMKtl<& AND ' DEMOCRATIC" PARTY. ** Q. Judge Orr, you have been long < affiliated whh the Democretio^pairiy 1 of the countiy, and I have some cariosity to learn why. so soon after the Philadelphia convention of 1805, in >whi<&.you. pU^yedau importautpart, you identified yourself with and es poaned the principle* ipf (mother par\ & j^g*ne4^f(Hpiufe your I ow b people. ^ i 1 ' 3 j; | * A.

Harrison, when tho election wns won not so mnch by the popularity of Whig principles.?b j by tho unpopularity of tho Jncfcfeon 1 and Ynn Huron adniini?tration. High ? taxes, the consequent etringenoy of ] the finances, and official corruption, is ! the uock upon which the .Republican t party will be wrecked. Prom tho 1 the dobris, another party will arise t composed of tho progressive men of t the country, whoso leaders will be real, fitntcsmcn and economists, and < gpjler thoir administration the Union i will advance in true greatness and i solid prosperity. Doubtless the next j census will change the base of power, i More velative strength will be' given i to the South and West, which will i result in weakening the influence of * the Now England State*, and trans- i ferring the control of the country ta t the agricultural sections... v t Q. Do you think the country would f be better off under a Democratic ad- c ministration than it is at the present I time? ^ , < A. I can only answer that question, with ^naliftcations. In my judgment the election of General Graut avoided t vi Mice and bloodshed thoughout the ^>.uth. Under the administration of ^ Mr. Seymour, efforts would unqucs- , tiofiablv have been made to overturn t existing Slate governments, even be- i fore his inauguration, because the ( people were stimulated by the delu- c sive i-opreeentatiuns of ardent parti- j sans, who believed be could undo the ( entirib work of reconstruction. The t trutlf ie, however, that hud Mr. Sey- ? mour been elected he would havo 1 been as impotent as Andrew Johnson, t in evtry endeavor to rendor assistance ( tl.~ - - iuu ijvuiii. jiio majority ol" the ( Senate would have been against him 5 Hor at leant two years, and he could j not have removed or appointed a post- t master. The House was in the same i opposition, and nono of the party | would have felt amia'blyr inclined to- | ward one that had defeated their candidate. i CHANT'S ELECTION A BLESSING. In.this, viewi therefore, it was a J Weening to the* South that General ' Grant was elected. Some of the re- 1 suits to as, politically may not bo 1 agreeable ; some of the CongrcBsional legislation that has followed has been 1 based upon* a mjsfiDprohension of the 1 real public sentiment of the South; ' but the end will prove the wisdom of 1 the election' of General Grant.

Natirully, much of their action has been jased upon tho determination to itrengthen their party: some of th<ir measures, such as legislating a city iouucil into ofiico over the head of mother council, perhaps equally Jii publican in character ; or such as exLending the limits of a city or town in order to embrace more votes, have bceu extraordinary iu their purpose ; but even these have fouud sturdy opponents auioug tho race, who will DOt lend themsclvcH to *nr T?nlir-c ? ?J I??J J however advantageous, that is not folly'6liBtait?cd by precedent or prinoTpIe^ A?# f said before^?the-colored people nfay, for a while, distrust the professions of white men, but when they see theiain earnest, and -discover that it is not merely a matter of politics, but of practical benefit to the State, which ia iuvolved in u combination of strength, will be restored, and tho two races will work together in harmony, vQ.

I A. It is ono to which t have not i given carofhl atttention. Tet my ob- t norvation of the mortuary rocords of v our principal cities satisfies me thatip the fears expressed is not without t foundation. Natuaal causes which i you will readily understand are at n work to prodnco this result. In old h times, under our system, the health n of bIuvob, especially of the young, d i was a matter oi constant solicitude. 4 1 Unless on extraordinary occasions, ti I they were neither overworked nor tl permitted to lounge in idleness. They n | were fed on substantial food, comfort- ei ably clad, proporly amused, and had ? no cares. W1 ten ill, the plantation y phvsician was called in, and all his v skfll applied to the business of resto- n ration. The slave represented money Q ?money in himself and money in the current year's crop. It wasn't \ j( nrofitable to allow him to ho ow.L- 1 t ? ? ? II much less profitablo to let him d>o. n the consequence was, that between t, the.year 1800?when thero were on- jj ly 50,000 slaves in the Uuited States 0 ?and in the year 18G0, the iiu-reaso was upward of four millions, and it is a grave question, by the way, what NV sort of a country we should have had p in fifty years move at tho same rate c, of negro growth. It is another grave ; (;l question whether, if Providence in- j; tended emancipation to take placo 'at n any time, it did not occur auspicious- tj ly in 18(13. But co resume. The con- ^ dition of tho freedman is now revers- tl cd. With no master, ho has no sense Q of responsibility. Tho more igno- t| rant among the field hands are content n to live in squalor and wretrhedness fl their children suffer from lack of pro- a pur food and cure, and there is unques- u tiouably a diminuition in their nam- .. rl i u uviu iiuui uuiurui CUUSUB, WI11CI1 1(1 their present situation cannot be con- ? trolled. This is especially the case ^ with tho negroes on tho coast; but the remark does not apply to tho in- c telligent colored man anywhere. It a is a remarkblo fact that the slave in- t creased 23 J per cent., and tho colored j, free people only one per cent, during * the ten years preceding the war. If I remember rightly, the city registrar r ol Boston reported that during the h | five years preceding 1859 the number v of colored births was one lesB than () I tho number of marriagos, and tho v deaths exceeded tho births in tho ^ Kroportiou of' nearly two to one. In ^ bode Island and Connecticut., accord- j Ing to the registries kept, the yearly f deaths of blacks and mulattoes have j, generully exceeded tho yearly births. 8 There is no method of reaching simi- a lar* results in tho South, except f through ihe reports of tho health a officers of the different cities, but these show a startling amount of mor tality in tho race, and invite a quotation as to tho ultimato condition. My own impression is, that in a quarter of a century from the present .11 ?i? ?u? " '* 4 uiuv, an iuc tuiucr rcj;miiH ui I lie I South, from Virginia to Georgia, will I be mainly populated by sturdy white emigrants, before whose competing toil the negro will be obliged to gi/e ' way, and that be will seek the low lands as his final abiding place. j These are but speculations, yet the fate of the red man is to a very con- 1 siderable degree typical of the law v of naturo which has applied to the r negro in every State in which he has been compelled to work for his sub eietence, Bide by Bide with the white. The South, however, requires all her laboring population, and as a people, we deplore any exigency which threat* ( ens to deprive us of so essential an ' aid to our prosperity. Hence it is I that our liberul-ininded men, foresee- * these results, are preparod by wise and humane regulations for their enlightenment and moral and social improvement, to make the colored 1 people valuable in oar agricultural * duvelopetaents, and thua retain them as an element of practioal strength and usefulness.

Tho aluo of tho products of tho first umed State in 1850 was $60,900;000 ; f South Carolina during the same ear only $49,980,000. True, the caput'of one is largely devoted to irtanfaeturing purposes ; tho capital of :ie other is employed chiefly in agriulture ; but you will readily see that all the facilities at our command, ur vast water power and munufaciring resources, were developed to ?e same extent an in JSTew Jersey, wo ronld realize a truly golden dream of rosperity.
