THB REVOLOTXON.
An Iatertfow with Jodg? Orr.
A correspondent of the Hew. York
\ Tribune writing from Anderson 8. 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.

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

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,

consciousness of strength, will ncces*
sarlly create a reaction, under tho
inflitoncn of which they, too, will be
overwhelmed iti national politics, M
the Jackson party was overwhelmed
in 1840 in tho content between Mr.
Van Duron and Qen. 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. It 1

In South Carolina for the next ten
years, and the remark Is equally applicable
to every Southern State in
which there Ib a large colored majority,
Tho re unit of the last three years
have satisfied tho*people that all tho !
prosont evils of whirh they oomplafo 1
might havo been averted by showing
lo the colored voters that they inlended
to maintain their new rights.
Large numbers of the bost men in
South Carolina are oyon now willling
to espouse Republican principle*, and
would doubtless do so but for tho distrust
which, as gentleman of character
and intelligence, tlu-y naturally
jntortain toward those who, by accilenta!
circumstances, have been placed
a the lead of tiie Republican party?
nen who do not, and never did enjoy
jublic contidenco ; men who are ignorant}'Corrupt,
dishonest, and unfit, by
reasons of their early associations, for
ieccnt society. They were . adroit
;nongh, however, to make the more
gnorant among the negroes believe
,hem to be their best friends, and by
?mploy4ng all the arts of the demagogue,
and an unscrupulous uso of
lisgrecful agencies, they succeeded in
icing elected to tho most important
jffices in the State..
i THE COLORED TEOPI-E.
Q. It is yourljclief that tho negro
>au be controlled ?
A. It deponds npon tho material
,*ou work with, and tho material you
vork upon. The most ignorant are
.ho most radical: th<J most intelligent
ire the most conservative; and my
ixpericnce with them, in the capacity
if legislators, BatinfioH me that as far
is liefe in their power they mean to
lo only that which will redound to
.lie best in tercels of tho Stale. 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

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

Q. I km l)p?gf*D#f owt 4 4***M
In the publlo prints thnt the negro Is i>
dying out, and the fear Is oxpreesed \
that in th?j course of time there may <
uot bo enough loft to till the crops, c
but what are your views on this sub* i
jcct? 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.

Hiiro a multitude of formers to raise

n my judgment the owners of largo
raets of valuablo plantation lands
v ill be glad to diopose of their suplus
ossossiona, rather than attompt
he cultivation of crops on the giganio
scale which belonged to oar forler
system of labor. Experiment
as demonstrated, both horn and

iversifled industry, We havo about
,500,000 acres of lund under cultivaion,
only ono-fourth of the area of
ho State. This WOlllH thrnir inin
lnrket 45,5000 farms of 100 acres
ach. To illustrate by comparison,
row Jersey and South Carolina are
ery nearly- equal in population. 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. Even under present eirumslanees,
wo shall bo better off pouniarily,
in five years, with anything
ke favoruble eropt*, and will have
)ore actual cash at our command
ban ever before. In two years wo
rill begin to invest our surplus capiil
in manufactures; but at present
ur pooplo are afraid to invest in anybing.

rid confidence is restored in the administration
of Stute and national afurs,
you will see it come forth and

in conclusion'
emarked Judge Orr, the views I

'hile entertained by a large number
f the citizens of the State, have neer
before, that I am aware of, been

shall be ronndly abused for telling

udgment, is common sense ; but the
ouiidness of these reflections will, I
