[From.Greenville Republican. Tribute of Respect TO THE MEMORY OF Hon. James Lawrence Orr, The sad news of the death o. Hon. James L. Orr- having reaehec the Court in session on Wednes day morning, the 7th inst., his Honor Judge Cooke, then presi ding, in respect to the memory of the illustrious deceased, adjourned the Court for the remainder of th day; after which a meeting of the members of the Bar took place, when Gov. B. F. Perry, -on motion of W. E. Earle, Esq., was called to the Chair, and Whitner Symrnes, Esq., was requested to act as Sec retary. Gov. Perry, the Chairman, ap propriately explained the object of the meeting, when the following preamble and resolutions were in troduced by T. Q. Donaldson, Esq., who supported them by well timed remarks: Whereas, we have heard with profound grief the startling an nouncement of'the death of Don. Jas. L. Orr, our Minister to Russia, at St. Petersburg, at 12 o'clock M., on Monday last; and whereas, he lias been intimately associated with the bar and our people since he at tained to the age of manhood, and has served us with distinguished ability and fidelity in almost every office, civil and military, within the gift of the people, and particularly in the high office of Judge of the 8th Judicial Circuit, in which he gained the confidence and the highest esteem of the members of the bar and of the community, on account of the learning, ability, impartiality and courtesy which characterized his administration of justice; and whereas, we aeem n proper, and esteem it as a mournful privilege, to testify our appreciation of his worth and our grief at his untimely death; therefore, be it Mesolveil, 1st. That in the death of Hon. James L. Orr, the State and the entire country has lost one of its ablest and most faithful pub lirt an^tronfa iiv oyt vuiivut 2d. That the 8th Judicial Circuit ' especially owes the deceased a debt * of gratitude which it can never re- c ]}ay, for his prompt, impartial and I tirtu administration of justice during * a period of our history immediate- * ly succeeding a great revolution?. \ which in a kindly spirit met the 1 necessities of this times, saved us * from great troubles, and smoothed ^ the way to established order and ? - .l .1 ! j rerurneu. prosperity. i 3d. That we condole with the ( family of the deceased in the irre- I parable loss which they have sus- c tained, and that a copy of the pro- f ceedings be forwarded to them by 1 the Secretary of this meeting. c .4th. That the Chairman of this ( meeff ng present these resolutions to i his Honor Thompson II. Cooke, i the presiding Judge, in open Court, ^ with the request that they be enter- i ed upon the journals of the Court; 1 and that the papers of the city be ] requested to publish the same. 9 \ These resolutions were seccfnded s by Col. E. P. Jones, who spoke of 1 the early and long existing intimacy 1 between himself and Judge Urr; ( of the great ability and success 1 which had characterized him 1 through life; of his political course, which had been pursued with an i eye single to his couutry's good; i of his ability as a Judge, and the great bertefits accruing to the couu-. try trom his administration of jus tice, and the sound advice to the people to obey the laws, whatever those laws might be. Col. Jones said he might add much more, but there were others present who per haps would desire to express them selves on this occasion, and conclu ded by feelingly 'alluding to his sudden demise and the great loss the country had sustained Gen. S. McG-owan, of the Abbe ville Bar, also roso to "second the |resolutions, the following being tiici ' cnilictfirio/s r?f lii? 1'Anmrlca* Mr. Chairman: When I came info Court this morning I Lad no .knowledge of this meeting, and up ito this moment had no thought of saying a word upon thit sad occa sion ; but at the suggestion of friends around mc, and the impulse of my own heart, I will unite my testimony with that of others as to our distinguished friend, whose death we so much lament. I do not feel prepared to refer even to the principal events of Judge Orr's lite or to give any thing like an analysis <>f liis character, but the heart is over ready to drop a tear upon the bier of a friend so long known, so much respected and so well beloved! Judge Orr and myself were nearly of the same age. We be came acquainted in early youth. We were admitted to the bar about the same time. I practiced with him on the Western Circuit and afterwards before hi.rn as Judge? met hiin in political meetings, in the Legislature, in the Convention i)f September 1865, and elsewhere. We wCre brother soldiers in the Confederate array, and these was never for a moment any abatement our friendship up to the hour of lis death. I remember well* tne irst time I ever saw him, lull of ife and hope, at a military encamp ment at Liberty Hill, Edgefield, ,vhen, a mere boy, he was already listinguished as the chief staff )fficerof .Major-General McDuffie, vho being something of a martinet ,vaB called Old Frederick, and his youthful Adjutant "young Fritz." ' Judge Orr was in many respects i very remarkable man.- I was two rears his Benioj, but he always leemed to be older aud wiser. As n life so "in death he has gone be bre! He has .been taken from us it the. early age of fifty, and yet in hat short space he occupied more )ffices of honor and trust than any :ontemporary who can be named. This itself is a remarkable fact, es jecially when we consider . the itormy times in which he lived. :Ie entered the Legislature at a ery early age, ancl we cannot recall hat he was ever afterwards, for iny length of time, out of public smployment until the other day at he distant hyperborean capitol of he Muscovite, far away from home ind friends, he died in the service >f the country! He was several imes a member of the Legislature ?member of Congress, where he vas Speaker ot the Ilonsa of Kep csentatives?member of the Seces ion Convention ? Peace Commis iouer to .Washington with Mr. jarnwell and Gov. Adams?after vards Commissioner to Mississippi ?Colonel of Orr's. Regiment of Rifles?Senator in the Confederate Congress?member of the Conven n>n of I860 ? .Governor of the state of South Carolina?-Judge of lie 8th Judicial Circuit under the lew Constitution ? leader of.thnt Portion of the Republican party vhich bolted the regular Convention n the interest of reform, honesty ind good government; and finally Minister Plenipotentiary ot the Jnited States at the magnificent Dourt of Alexander, Czar of all the iiussias! lie was fortunate enough :o be able to serve the State before he war?to serve fhe State during he war?and to serve the recon ducted State after the war, which ;an be said of very ' few others! Hie question has been asked why ic coujd adapt himself to such changed conditions of*the State? Was he a mere time-server? Fur romit! 1 Knew-iiiin wen, mm a lere declare that I believe he never lad an impulse of the heart but for he good of his country. He was >ne of those wlio believe that in >ublic offices that should be done vhich is expedient, and he always icted as he thought best for liis eople. lie was accustomed to re nark that of all the nations of nodern times England had the visest statesmen, and that in En gland public policy was but another lame for enlightened expediency. Dthers of us did not always se3 as le did, and -he was sometimes jharged with inconsistency; but I solemnly believe that in all things ie was animated solely by the' love )f his country. lie was not devoid >f what has been called "the last nfirmity of noble -minds," but his imbitiou was not for selfish ag grandizement?not to raise himself lpon the ruins of his country, but :o identify himself witn ner pros perity and glory, and thus deserve the approbation of his fellow-citi zens, which was always very sweet to hi mi He was emphatically a popular man, not because lie was a demagogue, but because ho had a trusting feeling cf fellowship with the masses. lie was the favorite ot the people, because he was in the strongest sense one of them,' pos sessing all their thoughts, wishes and hopes; springing from them he never lost sympathy with them? was always devoted to their inter ests?was their true exponent, and might with propriety be called the great Tribune of the people! iJutftisas a t)uage iuul wu ui the Bar knew hi.ni best and lnavc most reas >ti to remember him with gratitude and affection. Judge On was a mod-el Judge?patient, cour teous, appreciative, pains-tuking, clear and forcible. He was a good listener ? heard all the lawyers without impatience or interruption He absorbed like a sponge, anc although not very learned in the law, lie utilized in the case every thing that was said to the point No argument, however learned oi elaborate, was lost on him. II< required all to respect the dignih of the bench which he occupied but he was always kind and gener oils, especially to young lawyers He possessed that in an cminen degree, which Lord Bacon said wa "the portion and proper virtue of a f Judge"?integrity. No Judge was ( rnoro catholic and impartial. In t the discharge of his 'duty he knew ? no man. Like Justice herseli he t was blind, and held the scales with 1 an even hand. He regarded with | the utmost horror the idea of a po- t litical Judge. I have heard him i say more than once that if party t influence ever raised its horrid front r in the courts of justice, and cases < were decided from other influences c than those of law, truth and justice, a he would throw oft' his gown, 1 brush the dust from his feet, and c depart from the ?emple of justice c thus desecrated and disgraced, t Godjjavethe people whose admin- f lO u I U I M / I 1 VJ J UVJI/lw tbe bitter waters of political .strife! Judge Orr was on the bench .of our circuit at a critical period. He was the first Judge undej the new Constitution. "We ?verejiiHt emerg ing from the abyss of an overthrow which involved in one common ruin property, right, law, peace and order. Not only the lives of the people ajid the property of 'the country had been destroyed, but the very courts of justice were swept away, "when our need was the sorest." It was necessary to calm the troubled waters?to gather up the broken threads?to collect the wreck of the ruin, and build de novo. Judge Orr was the very man for the bench at that time. He was a Carolinian-, and possessed a strong, independent mind, rather more in clined to make the law than to de clare it. He had known more of the Legislative than of the Judi ciary department, and therefore was a fit person to administer the law under the surrounding circum stances. He had practiced, not without distinction, in the old courts. lie had some knowledge of the ante beUvm judiciary, with its precision, ability, formality and technical conservatism, which, united with great good sense, a strong instinct pf natural justice, and a kindly appreciation of rhe surroundings, made him the right man in the right place. It has al ways appeared to me that the strict application of the law as it stood before the war without qualification, to the condition of affairs since the war so radically changed and differ ent, was to shnt our eyes to the most patent facts?to l?r wilfully blind, and, under the-delusion of adhering to 'principle, to do vio lence to every element of'morality and justice. The necessities of the times required to some extent Judge-made law. Many of the ques tions thrown upon the courts by the war were not purely judicial in their character,''but were semi-polit inul *tnH in their decision required as much statesmanship as judicial knowledge. I respectfully suggest that the opinions of Judge Orr and Cliref Justice Chase upon the sub ject of debts for slaves emancipated were not only in. accordance with humanity, morality and justice, and the spirit of the times, hut in strict conformity with # the Consti tution and law, liberally interpreted in the light of high judicial philos ophy and true statesmanship! Judge Orr helped us to bridge the chaos between the old and new or der of things. lie occupied a posi tion which enabled him to admin ister the criminal law impartially, which he did without fear, favor or affccfion, and we should never for get the debt of gratitude we owe him! As a friend, Judge Orr was so cial, amiable, warm-hearted and true. The loyalty of his heart was known of all men. I knew him intimately for thirty years, and never saw a shadow of personal unkindness upon his brow. We will not intrude into the sacred pre cinct^ of the home circle, whose light is gone forever! Me has de parted from us! Far from home and friends, a stranger in a'strange lsmd, he died! Let us do his char acter justice, and drop a tear to his memory. If the conditioi*. and prospects of his poor native State had been brighter, I am sure he would have died happier! lie loved his State and his people. His heart was full of the milk of human kindness? "Those pontic charities which draw Man closer to his-kind ! Those sweet humanities which make The music that they Duel!" j Col. J. S. Cothran then deliver ed the following remarks: Mr. Chairman: I had not intend- 1 ed until this moment to say anything j upon this occasion, though feeling ! deeply the loss that we have ailjj sustained in th? untimely death ofi jour distinguished fellow-citizen r land friend. The allusion made by j my friend who has just taken his * ! seat, to the brief military career of j ' the deceased, as Colonel oA* the i ^ First Regiment of Rifles, reminds ' me that I am the only member of,1 the bar preset it who belonged to I jthat battle-scarred command. |? 5 Baiscd and organized by'him at thejl I beginning of the war, although iti? II was not the privilege of its . first i1 jlcommauder to leacl it into battle, iti I never lost the impress of his high j .1 quolities ot' administration and dis-j< r{cipline. Ami as valuable as would ] i have been his services in ;the field,'l ,* his wisdom and political experience i ,1 were required in the councils of the' i -jstruggling Confederacy, and lie1? J was very soon elected, a Senator in t Congress. This position he held r until the close of the war. An un fortunate disagreement with the Jliiet* Executive of the Confeder ite Government, like fratricidal strife, diminished, I have no doubt, he efficiency of both. It were jootless now, as well as.inappro iriate, to inquire into the merits of his controversy. It is not ae a pol tieym that I take pleasure in con emplating this great and good nan. We were not agreed in our >pinions, and yet, sir, I always ac lorded the fullest measure of faith ind trust to his wisdom and po- i ltical integrity, iuucii uuu iuuk.cs ?ur present condition tolerable is Lue to hint, and I do not hesitate o say now that if his counsels had >revailed more than they did, we would have escaped many of the ninfortunes tliat have befallen us. You, Mr. Chairman, his iname-1 liate predecessor in the office of Governor of the State at the close >f the war, can well understand nd appreciate the difficulties which ie encountered. Yon, sir, well ;now the consummate skill with s rhich he averted many of these /hich seemed to be inevitable lis zeal for the public weal?Jus bnegation of self?his methodical rrangement?hi&ri^id and system-' ti'c economy?his untiring industry -all stand out in bold contrast with inch that preceded, and I regret d sav; with more that has succeeded is brief and difficult admini^tra ion. I have heard him say, and I elieve truly, that he "had but little f ambition left. Having held, the bird office in the gift of the people f the whole country, I believe that t is acceptance of ail minor offices , fas for the good of the pet>plet and r ot for himself. After the expira ion of his Gubernatorial term* he ' ras elected Judge of the 8th Judi- j ial Circuit. It was a' time of great ] Vin/1 nAVViA! OniUSlOTl LliU uciugc Uflu v/umv/-? Id things had .passed away; all liings were new. He carried to c be Bench the desire, the capacity nd the official boldness to admin jter the Law, where the Law would t ive relief, and to invoke many of j ae powers of the Law-maker when j i his judgment it was necessary to t o so. As a precedent, it was dan- i erous in the highest degre; but | joking back over it now, I can se.e ( otliing in it to regret, and-touch to omtnend and approve. . Judge Orr was not a stiident, in ] lie ordinary sense of the word. ( Ie "'as llot a man of books. He x ever was a great lawyer; in the j ery nature Of things he could not ave Deen. juaw^eiB ui v jwumuj iade. The Viginti aiiuos Litcubra- j ones had been negiected; and yet, ^ aradoxical as it may seem, the j ountry was startled on his ascend- j the Bench, to sec a great.judge j 7h?> had never been a learned I Macnulay hag sakl in on-e .of his ssays that it has been determined s iter centuries of effort .arid expe- ^ ienco, and by mearfs of which' the dministration of justice in Ens: md has attained'as nearly perfec- f on as it is possible, that the issues j1 ) be tried should be presented by J le. most ingenious and learned Dutisel, if need be, with most so- S histicaL arguments, before a judge apable of tearing ?way the sophis- ! \y and discovering the'truth. That Dphistry is so much like truth, j1 lat whilst it deceives the weak, oints out the truth to him who is ble to discern it. Like the poin- c irs to the land coruer, whi'th, J; lough not the coruer itself, lead ie expert surveyor to the object 1 f' his search. This ' was the- se- c ret of Judge Orrs success upon cf le Bench. A well prepared ease, | nalyzed and fully presented from ides', resulted almost always in a '' istand luminous decree. But sir, he. has gone1 out from ? mongst us, and it is more to our ' redit than to the increase of his ] ime, that we have assembled our el vet together to-dav to pay this [ j. _ i _ u 11UUIC LW 1JIO lliviiivtji It is well to pause for a moment i this tumultuous, rushing race, nd take serious thought of "What hadows we arc?what shadows we mrsne." To-day, with sad hearts, to the low and solemn time of tjie fu icral dirge, we march, as it were, o the grave of our friend; to il jrrow the business of this Court nil bo resumed, and the battle of ifc will be renewed. It is well! t is well ! . 'And the stately ships po on To their haven under the tiill-t Jut oh ! for the touch of a vanished hand And the sound of a voice that is still.'! Feeling and appropriate Remarks vere then made by W. ,E. Earle, j Ssq., James Birnie, Esq., and; Jessrs. Arthur & Arthur, which j vq have been unable to obtain for! indication. Before adjournment, by consent, >f the Chair, Rev. E. T. Buist, I). | )., joined in common with others! n the following remarks: | Much hhs been said, and well; md wise ley said, by those whoi mve spoken in appreciation of: ludcc Orr. I knew him lon<r and: <7 .veil, and have received much kind- j less from him. Three points in Jixlge OrrV iharaeter deserve notice. lie was' not a perfect man ; lie had his frail-! ties and faults; but lie was every! inch a man, and a noble man. Be-j ueath the surface, there lay a great; ocean of humanity, lie was made' in heart and mind a Titan. Every thing was on a large scale?his trieudship especially for young men; his benevolence in befriend ing others?always ready and even mxious to do a favor. His feelings were Catholic and liberal, and no man ever lived who had more per sons ready to witness to the favors* lie had done them. In the State ind out of the State, in Congress md in the army, everywhere hosts rise up to witness, as I do, the fa vors he so cheerfully conferred On the Bench his kindness,-his pa tience, his magnanimity shone in tull lustre. He was the most Useful of men. rhere was not a time, from his pouth, when he had not a high and difficult office to fill, either in the State^or army; or on the Bench, 5 ?nd yet he*"was the most active and " 4?1 * -- ?.a/1 AnfAnnwefla .Jiiiciem luaii in ramuau cuicipiiew 3r ariy of the great schemes of the [>re&ent day.

The meeting then adjourned lie. # ' On the following morning upoa ihe re-assembling of the Court, the jreamble and resolutions being >resented, His Honor Judge Cooke icknowledgedthem in the follow ng remarks, and ordered them to ).e spread upon the minutes of the Dourt; Gentlemen of the Bar: Before )assing the order dftecting the Dlerk to spread upon tho journal jf this Court the preamble and eaolutions adopted by your meet ng 011 yesterday, and presented his morning to the Court through jpur Chairman, Gov.
