.JUDGE ORft ON THE POLITICAL
SITUATION. . ;
Judge Orr has recently been interview
ed by the correspondent of tho Charles
ton News, and \V2 publish elsewhere a
detailed report of his opinions upon the
condition and political future of the
State. Coming as they do, from ono of
the most prominent men of the Repub
lican party in the State, and of recogniz-1
ed ability, sag.ncity and integrity, mey
will coniraaud attention even from
those who dissent from his conclusions.
In the objects which he propcecs, and
the means for thoir accomplislimeut, he
indeed announces scarcely anything
which he has not rej>eatcdly urged be
fore, but he differs in this, that his posi
tion is more clearly defined, and his op
position to Radical misrule more active
and aggressive. Not content with
merely pointing the way, ho proposes t?.
bead the crusade of reform, and calls
upon all good citizens who uwue uu '1WI. |
government, to join in the campaign. '
He has already taken the stump, and '
standing on the Republican platform, ;
and announcing himself a good Repub
lican?a "Pharisee of the Pharisee"?a ,
faithful ally of Grant and his policy, he
is now seeking to rid the party of thai
Incubus of corruption here, which is
threatening its existence everywhere? <
and which but for the diversion created :
by the Tammany frauds would have r.c
comx>lislied its ruin ere now. In all of (
this work of reform, he promises the
sealous co-operation of Grant, and all
good Republicans everywhere. And
we too can promise him in his work the
sympathy and support of every good cit
sen of the Stated but not if it involve?, ,
V Judge Orr holds to be necessary, that
they should Join the Republican rank?.
"We sympathize in his objects, but can- 1
. not with our views of political consist- ;
ency, or of a proper regard for political
principle, endorse the m;;iuis by which
he proposes to eflcct them.
If principles might be assumed or put
off, as n man dons or dofiV his coal, then

and accented Iiepuhlican, b;;t not till
then. Circumstances change, and it is
the part of true -wisdom to change wit'i
them, hut Ihere arc differences which
are radical e.n.l indestructible. AsJoug
as this remains a freo government, two
parties must exist here?parties, which
whatever thijy may hold in common,
must present essential differences?the
one the party of centralization, tending
to military despotism ; the other of lo
cal self-government, presenting the only
guarantecof civil rights* Disguise it a;?
you may, and assimilate political crecds
at your will, these are the essential <lif
ferences which you can neither jgnore
nor cxlirpato, exceni l>v a changeiu the
character of the government .'tself.
But it may be asked, if by the support
of Greeley, his political opponent d<>
not renounce all that is distinctive ii?
their o^aiiizat'.ou, and become vhiuiUy
Republicans themselves. By no man
ner of means. The very fact that tho 1
saje of Chaj.pnqua is charged wiiJi hav
ing sold himself to the Democrats by
the men of hi3 own party, would sock.
to negative such a presumption. Nei
ther party has renounced its organiza
tion, nor abjured its principles. A"?
upon the questions of free trade and
protection, they have agreed to differ for
the time being, and to sustain a ticket
which is neither Republican nor Demo
cratic, but the exponent of honest gov
ernment, and which appeals to the sup
nnrt. nf all trood citizens. a3 presenting
the oaly hope of relief. It is hut apply
ing to national polities the remedy
which has proved so effective in Mis
souri, Tennessee, Virginia and other
States, and which but for the peculiar
circumstances of the ?tatc, mi jht jhave
achieved success in South Carolina.
But Judge Orr tells us that the only
hope of safety lies in joining the Re^
publican ranks?that reform must come
through the dominant party; and that
wo must Join the organization to purify
It. We doubt the policy, even if we
wore willing to forego our principles.
What influence might the new converts
hope to exert upon the councils of their
newly adopted allies ? Under the most
fovorable circumstances, they forfeit to
some extent, the confidence of their
late associates, without acquiring that of
their now friends; subject tlieir motives
to misinterpretation, and attain the un
enviable reputation of tiuifc-servers,
who are willing at all seasons to barter
their principles for place and position.
What influence could they hope to ex
ert upon the colored people, who look
upon the Southern whites as tbeir polit
ical enemies, and who would this day re
nounce Grant if the Southern whites
could be induced to support him. Some
thing more will be required to gain the
control of the blacks, than becoming
Republicans. If the party is to bo re
formed here, let a better class of Ile
publicans be imported from the North;
men of Liberal views and honest princi
ples, who will join with the Southern
people upon a broad platform, with which
cheering success in some of the States
aow goes into the Presidential campaign
Tith the most flattering prospects. Th o1
w
election of Greeley and Drown will or- J
ganize such a party here, but until that
be accomplished wc have but little hope
of reform.

"It will be seen upon reference to

among theso was the master of cer- r

Among those present were Judge a

The dinner reflected credit upon the

Republican Meeting.?A council of
the Brotherhood was organized at Bor
deaux on Friday night last, and a public
meeting held on Saturday, which was
addressed by Messrs. Hollinshead, L. P.
finffln Rinlev and others. There wero
present about one hundred blocks, con
sisting largely of tlie female persuasion,
and a few whites. For its size, the
meeting was rather enthusiastic. Tho
blacks of Bordeaux township are good
workers, and very polite and orderly,
but "dyed in the wool" llepublican?.
Some of them are aspirants for office, and
tire disposed to press the claims of Bor

The Commencement of Erskine College

to tho general course of ovents. For
the timo being, tho prico of cotton
must depend upon the activity or in
activity of speculation. So much is
this tbc case that people have no pa
tience with legitimate trado. "When
an artii:lc"is left to legitimate demand

long the present relaxation may con

On the same principle, I suppose the

tho usual course in such fluctuations.

Tiie Crops.?The intelligence in ref
erence to tho growing crop has been, to
a great extent, favorable, with rather
too much dry weather in some districts
and a full supply of rain in others, hut
up to this the growth, as a w hole, un
doubtedly keeps very promising' The
com crop has suffered in many localities
from n lorn? anell of dry weather, produ
cing almost a failure in limited neigh
borhood?, -while in other places sulB
cicnt water has been hail to develop the
grain. The lower portions of the rivers
in thi3 State are becoming fait, and an
the period is 7\car when planters will
have to put afresh flow on the rice, this
crop in the lower part of the streams is
threatened with tenons injury or total
loss, unless good rains arc speedily ob

The above method Assessment has
been adopted in orde^o give the Tax
Payers an Opportunity to make correct
Returns upon-oath.
Hereafter no abatement will be grant*
ed, except in cases where clerical errors
occur.
It is also the duty of every Tax Payer
to see that thore who appear dilatory in
making their Returns are urged to do
so, ana if not, to report them to the
County Auditor, who will immediately
execute .the law, which, provides that
where a Tax Payer fails to make a Be*
turn to the County Auditor, or his'Dep
uty, within the time prescribed by law,
the last Return made by said Tax Pay
er will be copied from the Auditor#
Books and fifty per cent, added thereto,
and in cases where Tax Payers escape
paying their Taxes for any one year^tn*
penalty quoted in Sec. 47, Special Ses
sion 1*08, will be strictly adhered to,
which provides for the same penalty as
in the above case.
I wouid also suggest that parties mak
ing Returns would contrive to attend
the Assessors on the different dates, as
coufusion occasioned by aisrge number
of Tax Payers at the close of the As
sessor's given time may occasion many
disagreeable errors, and give to the' Tax
Payers and Assessors a great deal of un
necessary trouble.
