Gov. Orr in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.
Ti.o Presidential mansion U crowded;
among the visitors is t!:r: Governor of South
Carolina ?iud daightcr. Colons! Bidford Brown,
of North .Curoriua, anf( -every S outherner tn
the city ;* also, many' people from Baltimore,
Philadelphia and other points north and wist,
who came herc specially to- expresa their ap
probation of the President's course, by at
lending hi-s reception.
Gov. Orr is herc on- business connected !
with his State, among other things, os ihc
subject Of imiaigrntion into the State, r.nd i
the relief of postmasters, who had either i
made rcturr.s to Fejliral authorities, which
miscarried, or' to Confederate authorities',
which are ignored, and who are now harassed
hy government claims.
Governor Orr is not in favor nf the amend
ment being .adopted by. South Carohua or any
jther Southern' State, bril favors a graceful
submission to anything thc conquerors de
mand." He jocularly thinks terHturializalion
would bc- welcomed i? an ecoiromieal measure.
TEST OATHS.-Thc adverse decision of thc
-'[.?.?orno Court of the united States to the
.j ii.-ii?ution.a?ty of tte '-lest paths" imposed'
by Congress will lead, wo hope, to a nmrked
improvement ia th? Federal officials in tho
Southern States. The " test oaths'-' prevented
ninety-nine out of every hundred of our peo
ple from holding the Federal offices in our
midst. Tiiey went, therefore, by default, in
many instances, into the hands of unworthy
and incompetent citizens of the Southern
SinKs, and still more frequently thc officUls
we're uusy:::pating aliens, whose presence
in our midst is a .perpetua! aud hateful re
minder of thc fuluro of our nobie struggle.
In some of the Southern cities the officials
are strangers, who c une i ir wi'h the cpnqusr
ors, and have nothing in common with the
:> ?plc. M my of these men have behaved
well aird have" won the esteem of our people,
while others have made themselves as odious
p?si??e. 'l here now exists no reason why
tue ?Hice? at the South should not b? filled
by Southern men. Thc interests of the Gov
ernment would, for instance, bc greatly pro
moted by the .'?ppoii.tment of popular, capa
ble and honest Southern men to all th-.: place*
e connected wi*h the collection of the internal
t revenue, where a most intimate knowledge of
1 tho people is indispensable to the official.
.. The p:;iicyof reconciliation" is popular with
?be President, and he cannot carry it ont
more effectually thor, by interesting the South
ei i people in the mimerons, cilices in our
midst. Among the ?jrst fruits of the action'
.rf the Supreme Cuurt in demolishing the
.. lest oath" will, wc hope, bc a change in tiiat
numerous class of officials who,, in tho coi
tion of revenue, cc:., represent the Trcssir

adapted to the present condition of tho eount
Colored convict', generally speaking, have lit
regard for imprisonment in a jail, where th
may spend their allotted limo in complete id
ness, with comfortable quarters andsftealthy foi
Bat the idea of being confined in*a Pcnitentir
at bard labor, just at tho moment of their fr?
dom, ia bi'ter in the extreme. '"
As nn evidence of the truth of the above sta
ment, we noticed that a mere lad, fourteen ye!
old, who had been convicted of Assault and Bi
tory, and sentenced'to pay a small fin? or bo i
prisoned threo months, upon being applied to
a citiien of our town with tho offer to pay t
fine, and thereby release him from imprisonmo
provided he would servo for a certain time abc
thc said citizens's. house and yard, peremptor
declined; preferring thc jail to-freedom, and id
ness to employment. Tho little wretch !
There wcro two convictions for Burglary, t
puimbmont of which is death, but in both cai
motion; in arrest of Judgment were made on 1
half of thc prisoners.
Mr. WM. GAUT, a young lawyer, admitted
the bar ot thc. last sitting of tho Appeal Cou
made hid professional debut on this occasion
an argument (favoring the above-mentioned ir
tion) so able and elaborate as to attract uuiver:
commendation.
Ho coutended that the Court had no jurisd
tion ; that tho abolition of tho ?rand Jury
capital cases was unconstitutional; and that t
Petit Jury of eight instead of twelve was ev
moro so.
Wc are anxious to hear whit will be tho opini
of the Appeal Court as to these latter-day ?04

Mn. EoiTon:-After thanking you for t
kiuduegs extended towards mo in publishing thr
letters written from Columbia, I would state thal
fourth one was prepared but could not reach y
in time for publication before the adjournment
the Legislature. And as Legislation assuuod
different shape frftin what was premised in u
former letters, at the suggestion of various liku
f shall a?k you to givo this letter publication
your esteemed Journal.
Never in the history of South Carolina have ai
.et of men been in public life under cireumsUnc
so'embarrassing as the present members of ci
State Legislature. Elected al the close of a mig]
ty revolution, and after four years of the mo
devastating war tho. world ever witnessed; at
timo when all ilia .landmarks of those who pn
ceded (htm were nearly swept away; with ov<
three-fourths of the aggregate wealth pf thc
peoplo'destroyed ; with nearly half of tho Sta
in smouldering ruins; twenty thousand of lt
best sens of Soulh Carolina sacrificed in thc wa
many of them leaving helpless and depender
firuilios; four hundred thousand of tho form*
servile population turned loose in ignorance an
idleness, in which prftpwljjwilone llie*-peopJo loi
more tlmn two hundred.millions of dollars ; calle
to lcgislato under tho providions of a new an
altered Conititutiou ; with thc credit of tho Stal
as prostrate as that of thc people; with-societ
denwalited, and our whole political structur
subverted ; a generous ami Intelligent people, afte
such radical changes, would not expect any ihin
like a perfcr-t system of Legislation. But Iht
lhere are murmurs of discontent and dissatisfy
tiou (and I think well-founded,) it is not wert
while to di:guiso.
Thc District Courts thai arc engrafted upon th
organic law have occupied about six weeks of th
four Sessions, and aro now alm-:st universal!;
conceded to be not adapted to our impovcrishei
condition. And I have no doubt they will bi
discontinued by tho next Legislature, as lb
present Legislature has airca ly erased ib:<t bar
tion of tho Const Un tion making it obligator
upon t'?s Legislature to establish Diitriet Courts
I havo ever considered them as huge monument
. of folly, even in tho modifie 1 form they now ex
is!. They hilve c ist the Stute about forty thou
rand dollars in the timo they havo consumed o
the Legislature, printing, Ac.
The Stay, or rather the installment Law, whiel
was set u?-ide by the Judiciary, I considered I
wiso measure, one which would have given, ns J
believe, general satisfaction to the people. ARC
that decision certainly was an unfortunate ono
Since then, much of thc time of the Legislature
has been consumed in dncussing remedial meas
ures, ami, as I informed you in one of my leiten
fr -m Columbia, elections have been held in several
Districts in the State to fill vacancies occasioned
by members accepting db qualifying offices; in
nearly all which cases tho candidates in favor ol
relief have beta'elected. But. owing to a disa
greement between the two Houses, and some
merobora who had heretofore neted with those of
us in laver of remedial measures going over to
thy opposition, all remedial measures were lost
Thc Bills of thc House end Senate to provide
Corn for tho indigent of thc Stato experienced a
similar fate.
Thc Legislature at thc lato Session, Transferred
from thc Charlotte Bailroad curtain stock held by
tho Stato to the Augusta k Columbia Railroad,
and endorsod tho botids of the latter Company
six thousand dollars cu oar' mile of tho Ro&d.
In reference to remedial Legislation tho delega
tion from this Di.-' .-?ct actod in concert, and we
all came to tho u losion that if wo could not
get our own plans wo would tako thoso of others.
In reference to tho Tax vBi!l, wo also acted in
concert, except ns to thc dog tax, tn which I was
tfpposed; thcbalnngcof our delegation favored it.
The two parties, the relief and anti-relief par
tics, wert) very nearly equal in bolh Houses. Tho
President of tho "Se?alo and tho Speaker of thc
House were strong auti-felicf men; they had tho
appointment of all committees, which gave them
decided advantage. Besides, alargo proportion
of tho logal profession wcro anti-reliof mon ; but
sovornl of the mont influential lawyers of the
Stato advocated relief measure's. Bonham at the
extra and regular sessions, and Butler at the ex
tra sosiion, Carlington, Sauber, Mullins and others,
(1 i'd all they could for relief ; and tho contest was
ono of the most stubborn, I suy.poso, that hos
cvor taken placo in tho State. But all was lost
I hare written this with no other design but to
sot myself and colleagues in our true position bo
foro tho pcoplo of tho District.
As the pe?pie hn(ro cn mired, both verbally and
by letter, of tho condition of tho Courts and tho
prospects of litigation, I can r.nly answer that
there aro now no restrictions upon tho Court?
I The Court of Common Plcaj will sit in March
and October as heretofore ; and tho Court of
; Equity in June as heretofore. Tho District Court'
j sits on tho Second Monday in January, and after
1 that, quarterly. Voa will thus percoivo that every -
I body can sue everybody nt will, and I havo but
I little doubt t?,o peoplp will have litigation to their
heart's oontciit. But, Mr. J; 1 i tor, I da not de-pa:r
of tho future if our poople will act considerately.
There is no earthly doubt that tho privato in
debtedness grcatl** exceeds tho means of tho poo
ple to pay, even if tho remaining property were
sold at a fair ralue ; and if a general financial crash
conv, Iflv not brifar* tho froptrty cf tao Stat*;
ai forced salea, will pay cost of suits an J twenty
cents in tho doljjtur. Aguja it mu.-: bc reir.ouihorcd
that the wholo matter goeB before tho people be
fore mitch properly cap be sold, only ?mal? debts
of one hnndred dollars' and un d'or, trod on judg
ments already obtained. Aud tho more distress
and litigation, tho moro radical tho next Legisla
ture will he, and thc natural consequ?nc? of liti
gation irill bc to cxlle'our white population from
thc State. For hero itmust'bc frankly acknowl
edged that although South Carolina, wai thc first
Stato to Kcccdo, and virtually inaugurated the
great revolution which has mud? bankrup&of
moro than half of lier people, yet all of her sister
States that co-operated with her have made more
liberal provision for th?so bi their people who
were ruined by tho war than. South Carolina her
self.
After making-thesc statement?, I shall venturo
a ferr suggestions to tho people of tho Dislricf,
promising not again to obtrude my opinions bo
fore them. . First, let cvcrjutebtor go immediate
ly to his creditor, mako a fr?"*"pfull and frank ad
?ini-sion of thc amount of his .indebtedness, and
thc nature of the debts ; and p;iy cvory cent he
can to his creditors, pro rata, after . selling all
stock, land, or other property ho can spare, and
cancel his obligations as far r.s lies in his powor.
Second, lot every creditor facet hts debtor in a
rpirit of compromise, and suspend tho interest
.during thc war, and only exact inch a portion of
tho principal as his debtor will bo oblo to pay
with two year's industry and economy. Take
?hat your debtor can pay at QUCO, and give ono
and two years to pay tho remainder. And in no
case, except whero tliero is a manifest intention
to defraud, increase tho debtor** liabilities and
blunt his enterprise by an accumulation of costs :
and let litigation bo tho last resort; and you will
by this means mnke a powerful appeal to your
debtor's honor ; you will infuse lifo into his latent
energy; jou will not be thc ungenerous instru
ment of driving from tHo Stato hor unfortunate
but cherished sons. l'h?ve practiced what lhere
advocate, and in no case has my appeal been in
vain; both in reference to debtors o^rid-creditors.
Let (Ubers do likewise, and thc clouds of adver
sity that hover over us may soon be driven away :
tho sunshine of prosperity, hnppincss, virtue and
contentment may yet bo ours. Let uS make new
andmore" vigoron? exertions to restore our op
pressed and down trodden commonwealth to her
former position of prosperity; and fetus think it
no longer dishonorable fur our sons lo plough ;
and let us teach our daughters to bo moro domes
tic. If wc can succ'csfully manage out own inter
nal affairs, I believe the effort: of tho Radicals
will recoil'upon their own head*. Of one thing I
a:n certain4; they never can degrade and Hight
our future pro"p;'j'.s if we aro true to ourselves,
without becoming themselves tho equal partakers
of all thc calamities they may attempt to bring
upon us.
And finally, Mr. EDITOR, I suggest to the peo
ple of the District the organisation of a voluntary
Land AssoeiatioK with a President and twelve
Directors. Let every land owner in-Edj;cfield
donate to tito Association, if he owns over four
hundred ncrcs of land, or mor.-, one-sixth of his
lauded estate, or as much more or less as bc may
think fit. Let the Association give first to each
family, or other person of our own pcopio, that
is uoahlo.to purchase, one hundred acrcj iu perpe
tuity, up.m thc condition that iuch family or por
son shall settle and romain no .n the same. Let
the President of tho Association advertise both in
America and Europe, that free white men will be
furnished land to thoamountof enc hundred aeres ;
to heads of each family, buna fido settlers; to
their, and their heirs and assign-:, as Ijng as they
remain on tho same.
I nm certain that hy this means..wo would not
only rctuip ?ur own white population, but also in
duce emigrants fruin -vurious purls "f thc world
to come and settle among us. And our lauds in
ten years would apr rc-tiate in value, ?nd the re
mainder hold by us-would bc Wurth ?uur limes as
much as at present. We would have our country
settled and cultivated by small platters; and our
agriculture, which is the keystone ia the arch of
our futuro prosperity, would be stimulated aud
j revivified ; und all other avocations would partake
of thc general well-being.
i And, as tho Freedmen aro either leaving thc
.State, or setting up fer themselves, in such num
bers, as to admonish' us that wc cannot depend
upon them as laborers for any considerable length
? of time, tho alternative :? presented to ns of adopt
ing sjinc scheme like tho one hircin indicated.
Otherwise our lands will become a waste, and
fall loin tho hands of Fr tc dm en.
Thcs-; suggestions may excite a smile, but they
have at ?east as much merit a- the Doctor's bread
pille,-if they do no good, they can do ?o harm.

great n trial for his declining health, and ho ra

His gonorous heart delighted in acts of "friend

Though beiiriffg his afilictions with iho.'grc.itest
