Bracknell, ) Forty Years the Interval Since Carolinian Has First Class Post. William E. Gonzales of Colum bia, nominated by the president last week to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the re public of Cuba, will be the first South Carolina citizen in 40 years to be invested by the Washington government with a ministerial port folio of the first order. No diplomatic appointment of grrade equal to that of minister to Cuba has been held by a citizen of Soatb Carolina since James Law rence Orr, minister to Russia, died at his post in the Kassian capital. May 5, 1873. This Swate, by the way, has in different crises had three sons, each of distinguished ability, resident in I St. Petersburg, as representative? of the United States near to the person of the czar. Henry Middle ton (1820-1830) was the first and Jas. L. Orr the third. The second was Francis Wilkinson Picken?, who was appointed in 1858 and re quested passports in 1800. Middle ton's name, even from amid the names of half a dozen other famous Middletons, still shines clear from out the mists of the years, because of his patriotism and his skill as a diplomatist. Pickens, grandson of Gen. Andrew Pickens of tne Rev olution, was at various times a mem ber of the lower house of the gen eral assembly, a member of con gress, a State senator and governor of South Carolina. He is one of the few South Carolina statesmen of the past century deemed of such importance as to require biograph ical mention in the new edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. James L. Orr a graduate of the University of Virginia, a lawyer andan editor, was for 13 years a member of the State legislature, for 10 years a member of congress part of the time serving as speaker of the bouse of representatives; was a member of the Confederate senate was governor of South Carolina un der the Johnson Reconstruction, was a federal circuit judge and as stated above, died minister to Rus sia. Nomination of Capt. Gonzales to be minister to Cuba effeots a certain balance in respect of the representa tion of different portions of South Carolina in diplomatic service. Pickens lived at Edgetield and hence was identitiad with the low country. Orr was from Greenville, and so was credited to the Pied mont. Capt. Gonzales, residing at the capital an<* having done here his life work, may be said to repre sent the middle seotion of the State. South Carolina in ante-bellum times produced some of America's greatest diplomatists. South Car olina statesmen in fact devoted their attention chiefly to diplomacy in the early years of the constitution. Later their attention was absorbed by domestic politics. In 1795 Thomas Pinckney (minister to Eng land, 1792-4, and to Spain, 1794-6), negotiated with the Madrid govern ment "the most brilliant treaty the country had gained since the sign ing of the peaoe." In 1797 Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, his brother taught France to respect his coun try by his defiance of the demands of the corrupt Directory in his an swer, "Not a sixpence, sir!" later popularized in "Millions for de fence, but not one cent for tribute!" Waddy Thompson served with dis tinct'on as minister to Mexico from 1842 to 1844. Calhoun, as secre tary of state in 1844-5 conducted the delicate negotiations with Mex ico and England with skill that promoted the advantageous outcome of both disputes.-The State.
