CORRESPONDENCE OP THE CIIAP.LESTO NJ3W3. Andeiison, S. C. July 3. Tn aeoordance with the instructions c 5'Ae News, I have this morning calle npon ex-Governor James L. Orr, at hi pleasant country home, situated about mile from this village, and obtaine from him an expression of his opinio: Concerning the present condition of ai fairs in South Carolina, and his views a to the best method of attempting th much needed reformation in those al fairs. Judire Orr rec eived me with com tesy ami cordiality, assured me of hi high respect for the journal which I hai the honor to represent, and expresses the pleasure at the opportunity of pla chig his views before tne whole peopl* of South Carolina through such a 111c xliuin. The conversation that en suet continued for perhaps an hour, tin Judge conversing rapidly, intelligently and forcibly, with an appearance of pel fedt candor and frankness, and the dia logue, so far as it was upon matters o public interest, was about as follows: fiorresixinilent. I have observed tha since your return from the Philadelphi: Convention you liave been speaking ii various placed upon the political pros pects in this State, and declaring in favor of a thorough reform in the State administration. What do you propose as a plan for accomplishing that reform, and what elements of probable success are there in the proposition ? Judge Orr. Well, sir, it is evident that any reform to be accomplished in our State attains must be accomplished by the Republican party. Your papei acknowledged that, and with the im mense Republican majority in this Stale it is a self-emlent proposition. The masses that compose the Republican majority are the colored people of the State, and their devotion to the Repub lican party is not to be altered by argu ments as to the comparative correctness of the principles of the two parties. Such arguments are in the main above t.lipir ftonnwhensinri. n_^ it rnnld lio In?* ically proved (as, laind you, I don't think it could) that the tenets of the Democratic party wore better than those of the Republicans, the colored masses would still cling to the latter party, through a sentiment which, having its origin in gratitude to the Republican paaty for its benehts conferred, has now ,grown to an instinct of devotion to that party. Correspondent. Yes, sir: and it is precisely by reason of tbat blind, un reasoning adhesion of tbc colored peo Ele that the bad men of your party, who ave swarmed to this State, have been able, by shouting the shibboleth of Re publicanism, to mount upon the votes of the colored masses to positions of power and to the control of tbe funds of the fitate, where they have shown their gratitude by plundering alike the v/hitcs xtud the blacks Judge Orr. Yes. sir; but the colored masses are still disposed to favor hones ty in the administration of affairs mlh er than rascality, because they have had aioshare of the plunder, but have, on the contrary, hau to endure their share of the loss?because the burden of ex orbitance in taxation and profligacy in government must eventually be borne by the poor laborers. Correspondent. Then the eolorcd people are perfectly willing that their rulers .should be honest, but they must be Republicans; and, a<- between au hon est Democrat and a dishonest Republi can. they-would be apt to support the latter? Judge Orr?Well, yes. The rulers and leaders of the colored people must be Republicans. "What th<?v want now wore than anything else is honest Re publican leaders: Their choice of lead ers has hitherto been conitited to the "carpet-baggers," because they were the only men professing liepubhcanisrri who possessed any degree of intelli gence and education. Correspondent. And their intelli gence and education has been, in most cases. extremely limited. Judge Orr.?Ye.?, but still superior to that of the great bulk of the colored }>eepie who were just released from sla very, and had been without any means of education. Now the time has come when the white men of this State, na tive South Carolinians, should resume their natural leadership in the afiitirs <>f their own State, and this they only do by embracing Republicanism ami put ting themselves nt the head of the lie publican colored mosses. Correspondent?-"What do you moan 1 ?y cmbracing Republicanism ? Accept ing the nomination of Greeley, a life-long Republican, and the platform of the Lib cral Republican Convention? They have already done that. Judge Orr?No, they must accept the nomination and pl^tfon.i of ihe Regular Republican Conventional Philadelphia. Nothing el.-'e is recognize-1 or will l?e re cognized a? being Republican by the col ored people 01 Mi is SUife. There can be no more sacrifice of principle in Demo crat? vol ing for Grant I ban in. their vot ing for Greeley. Both are Republicans, i ifttiu iiluiiuuntv; uivii j^uuuvia''^ ah voting for either. Correspondent?Then you think that the Democrats, having struck their flay and got n? far as f!reeley toward the He publican ranks, might ay well surrender altogether and go for Grant and the en tire animal? Judge Orr?Yea. It is not as thougl the contest in this State were upon ah i-tract questions of political economy oj between Democratic and Rcpuhl'ioni principles. The Democrat* of Sontl Carolina have shown themselves willin; to accept the fundamental principles o Republicanism. All they want now, s< far as the State L? concerned, is an hones and economical administration of affairs and there is no man in this country mon anxious for this consummation tha; President Grant himself. The prcsen ^condition of affairs in South Carolina am .Louisiana is a terrible burden tor tne Ke publican party in the country to carry aud they are determined to purge tk< party of such dishonesty. Correspondent?"When the devil wa: Bick, the (tevil a saint would be; whoi the devil got well, the d?1 u saint wa; he." Judge Orr?What did you say, sir? Correspondent?Nothing, sir; I an: listening to you. Judge Orr?I was saying that the lead ing Republicans at the North have beer shocked and aslonished to.hrtir of th< robberies perpetrated by Republican olli ciaia in nils State. borne of tnem&sKcr me in Washington if all the horribh stories about the frauds in South Caroli na were true, and when I had to tel. them that they were, they threw up tlieii Jiands and exclaimed, "Oh, that wil jieverdo. We mu3t make some move ment for reform down there at once.' Some of them told me that, when th< frauds in the Southern States under th< reconstructed governments were first re ported, it looked as though the discovers would swamp the Republican party, bu fortunately the frauds of the Tammany Jting came to light about that time, am diverted attention and saved the party. Correspondent?Then in the move ment for reform that you aro endeavor jng V? Inaugurate here, you are in fuy uc "fT,"CTZ'T*y *' '^" *ay^rrT*,?y'w"l] cord with President Grant and the Re publican leaders of the Nor'.h? Judge Orr?Yes, sir; uudj now tli< white men of the State ought to go intc the movement. They should attend tin primary nieetings, address the blacks tc s-how them the absolute community ol interests between the two race* long as they are bof>? residents of the sann State and equally dependent for suett'tf upon its prosperity, and omch thei; ^yc to rnc enormous robberies that have Deen perpetrated by the scoundrels now in power. Correspondent?Yes, sir; but cannot they do all this without embracing Gran (ism, which thcv look upon as hav ing contributed to n very large extent to the very evils they now seek to reform!! if The white vote in Oc!ober would be just (1 a? effective for reform, whether in No 's vcmber it was cast fur Greeley or Grant, a Judge Orr?They cannot g:iin the con d trol of (he minds of the colored people n unless they absolutely and in good faith f- accept regular Republicanism. It is not their votes tliat our cause needs so much as their influence in leading the colored people (o vote. "We ask (he white meu of this Blute to take up Grant for the sake of StaLe reform, in which they have a di .1 rectand personal interest, aud give up 1 Greeley and hi* promises of National re form, in which?if such a thing be ne cessary at all?1 hey can have only a re mote or secondary interest. There is no 1 middle course, and llie>* have got to swallow Grant if they want to secure re form at home. Correspondent?Well, if ought at Iea.?fc in #>ntv:riln ilinm flint f!i'opIpv is cure (Jf f iiio election with or without the vote of South Carolina, anil in all the estimate* t for the coming' Presidential canvass this * .Slate is conceded to Grant, and still hid 1 defeat shown to bo pretty certain. Judge Orr?I do not admit that; but we will all know better about it after the election. In the meantime, what re mains for us to do is to attend the pri mary, township audcounty conventions, and see to it that a suilicient number of honest men, black and white, arc sent to the State convention to insure the nomi nation of honest men. This ought to be done at once, for the rascals that we seel: to defeat are already in the iield using all their power, plunder and patronage to get that convention lilled in their fa vor, while our organization is only just begun. ' 1 ? T\Tlxn4- V? Urt w? 1\a V^OITC^JMJIIUCU t??? Hill/ Will IV uivii uc? longing to this'State can you mention, who arc with you in this new move ment? Judge Orr?In this part, of the State i there aro a good many. In Abbeville county there are Dr. Limbcclcer, Mr.Mc , Garland, Mr. Tarrant, the Tolberts, Ja cob Miller. At Greenwood, Mr. Mc IColler. At Abbeville C. H., Mr. K. E. l-Iill, Robert Jones, T. B. Mil fold, J. i\ Duprce, W. D. Mars, W. H. Taggarl and James Martin. In Greenville, there are Cant. Minis Sullivan, Mr. A. Blyth, Mr. \Y.

Thero are a good many others in tlic.-e and other countics whose namd:; I cannot think of, ami Hi ore arc othei*. who have written to me toa^k about the new movement, but have not yet com mitted them-elves In it." favor. * Besides my recent speediC? in Coluinhiaand Ab beville upon this subject, I am going to speak at < rreeuvillo tomorrow, the llh; at Anderson, on .Saturday, the fith: at Walhalla, on Tuesday, the 9th; and at ' Pickens on Tuesday, the 22d.

Orr?Well, a pari of what I ?;m;] upon that tiuSyee' was .-aid a- a jol.o. When 1 ?aid ilml when in Wa-hinj/loi: 1 had received a pixveitt, I referred l<> the time, many years a;.o, when, being Speaker of the Hoike of Ji<pre.:entativeo, I nad been prc.enled with a gold pencil by the boy.i employed in ihe Iloiite a* pages. Correspondent?Whom do you propose as Governor upon the lleforwcu'llepiib licari ticket? _T1111 ?.v> Oit?Ofi. I do:rt know- There are half a dozen good raou who might he nannd, '.villi either of whom I >J;o'uh?

J have held oLi*-e ever since 1 v?a- a boy. and J am ti.cd of it. I would resign my judgeship to morrow, if I had any other way to dip j.ml niy fa: lily. And thatio something iha( will give mo strength in the con vention. 1 can tay to (hem : "There i no otlii-e under tlie .-am that you '-ah give me, or that I will take. 3. haw no de sire foi oliiie, ?o f-;ehi;h interest lo sub serve, no choice of candidates between hone.it men, and all that J want i. to kv a reform in our Slate Uovernnienl." I'll ore is Jud;,'e S. W. Melton, w ho would agoou uineiwu, ui v.. xj. m'iu'ii, of Columbia, <n-1 would have no objcc iion to Judge Graham, or even to Judge Wiliartl. Cone.-pondent?Who arc the other candidates for nomination? Judge Orr?There are a good- many of J hem. 1'ranK Moses, Dr. Neagle, Gov ernor Seott and Jobn Patterson aj>prar to be the most prominent. Idon'l know that. Patterson's chances amount to much, and as to tlie triangular content Moses and Neagle, I am told that Scott- moans to jilay off ihc other two again*! ea-.h other and slip in between. JS eagle says he J .as got ?11K),000 to spend for iiie ofllcc, and Parker fay-? he has got V"?U,000 to pay for his re-election. M?*os appears to have used up all hi.~ammuni tion already. Correspondent?Suppose that your friends are defeated in the convention and a straight-out ring candidate nomi nated, what are you going to do about it? Judge Orr?That is oiie question which 1 must decline to answer. I am dure that we will go into that convention with so respectable a number of dele gate? pledged to reform, that if the con vention do not l?y its action promise re form, we could organize a powerful bolt, but I do not threaten a bolt. Something equally effective would bo done, how ever, and that you may rely upon. President Grant, whether he is re-elected or not next November, will not go oat of oflfiee until next March. Corresi<ondent?Who are named for the other State officials? Judge Orr-?For Lieutenant Governor, 1 have heard of Itansier, Nash and I)e lany. For Secretary of State, Cardozo and F. II. Frost, of Williamsburg. For Comptroller-General, Jleuben Tomlin 1 1- 1-.. +U., r'?? 1 son ana ji no v?tti v fim' I.UV. . ernship. For Treasurer, Parker. L'or ' Attorney-General, Judge Melton, C'ham > berlain and Whip per. For .Supcrinten. 2 dent of Education, Jilkon and Henry - Sparnick, of Aiken. There are u }tost j more of them, but these are the ipost t prominent ones I can think of. j C'orresjjondcnt?Is there anything 1 new in State finances? Judge Orr?Nothing that I have heard. - Affairs appear to be at their worst, but - that, of course, all the readers of the - Rett's are familiar with. I only wish that the great mass of our colored pco pie -who caunot read could have it im pressed upon them as well, Th?? insti tution for the deaf and dumb and th< blind at Spartanburg lias iu?t beei closed^ and th? Inmates sent horn? 'UL.. can?C tuey can get no money from th< treasury. The penitentiary and lunatic asylum have to resort to all sorts of shifh ro feed iheir inmates, Tho public schools are shut up and the teachers dis charged unpaid. It is threatened thai tho quarantine along our coast will have to be abandoned for want of funds. I have not received a ccnt of pay for nine months, and most of the State officers whose pay is due quarterly are in the same condition. Meanwhile the State debt has been increased at Iciusfc twelve million dollars, and between foul' and live million dollars have been collected in*ta::e3 during the past four years. That is to say, the Columbia thieves have had an income tin nri^ lour yea is of at least sixteen million dollars, and now they say tliey havn't got a dollar in the treasury. And what have they loj show lor it? Not a single public im provement. Not one mile of railroad or canal, not one dollar's worth of legiti mate expenditure on the Siatehouse? nothing at. all except a few acres of swamp kind:* and sand hills bought ba ilie land commissioner at from two to ten times its value, and which are now going begging for purchase at eight years' time and .six per cent, interest. Dub! it makes me sick to think ot it. So it did me, and 1 left. Matters are very quiet in Aiulcrson. There is but little political excitement and a more conspicuous absence of irri tation or bad feeling between (be two races than, perhaps, in any other dis speech here last Moiuhy under I the .auspices of what Tom Macfcey call.-' hi? abortion?the United Order of Inde pendent lliethren, otherwise known as poll's Kn JClux. M'?scs had but u small audience, hardly any colored men from the countryaml a good many white gentlemen attracted by curiosity. He wis evidently disappointed and made a very mild speech. The only enthusiasm manifested at. the meeting was when one of the audience called for three cheer: for Judge Orr. The cheers were given with a will and the speaker was *ad!y disconcerted, for it is understood that the eame degree of affection exists be tween Moses and Orr that bin Satanic majesty is popularly supposed to enter tain for holy water. The crops in this neighborhood are re ported as in excellent condition ami ay being more promising than at any form er season. There has been an abmi dancc of rain here lately.
