DEAT IN TUE FAMILY OF JUDGE OR. By a private dispatch received in Colum bia on Thursday we learn of the death, at the homestead in Anderson, of Amelia, a young daughter of Judge Orr, at the age of twelve year,;. The Tax Bll. The tax bill as rep-rted by the con mittee of Ways and Mea-is, is as fillows: C Five mills for the expenses of the bscal year, commencing November, 1S72; two mills for schools ; fve mils for ae ficiencies, and three mills for county t purposes. Judge Orr Ministe to Russia. T:'egrap!& dispatches state that Judge Orr has been nominated by the Presi dent as Minister to Russia, and the N t Y. Tribune correspon-lent in Washing- i ton, states that "the appointment by the President of James L. Orr as Minister of Russia, was made without the knowledge of Mr. Orr, he not having been an appli- s cant for the position." Reidville Male High School. We acknowledge receiving a catalogue of the trustees, teachers and students of the above scbool, this being the ffteenth scholastic year. Reidville is in Spartan burg County, the school being most pleasantly situated, in a healthy region, and easy of access. At the close of the session there were Sfty-two students, and we are pleased to know that our young friend, J. L Keitt, delivered an address on the subject-the "Influence of Oratory"-at the late exhibition on the 27th. Governor ScoUs Valedictory Mesage Is without any special interest. Its arguments are not strong. Rather than this they are in the main fallacious. He acknowledges the dreadful increase of the State debt, and of course tries in geniously to throw the blame and bur den where they do not belong. The Carolinian says: "The people are informed again, too, of that insignificant amount of $45, which was found ir, the State Treasury when His Excellency took charge of af-. fairs." "About this, we will only say that $45 is more money than has been in the Treasury to meet any honest demand for two-thirds of the time during the past four years." It would be gratifying to state that $45 are there now. The Legislature. This body pretty generally appears to be impressed with the necessity of re forim in public affairs and retrenchment in expenses, and very many bills and resolutions have already been introduccd looking to these greatly desired ends. And on all sides the press of the State is giving its meeds of p'raise and encour agemnent of the signs of prom ise for the tature. Whatever may have been the desire for a different issue of the general election, and the hope of another comn plexion in the General Assembly, no ex pressi'ons of disappointment are hear d, nor complaints uttered, but rather the reverse, and for the reason that the par ty in power, or rather in office, nearly all of them seem to be actuated by a strong desire to amend the wretched, ruinous legislation and rascality of the past ; and true to the best interests c-f the State and people, the opponents, so called, have laid aside every other feel ing in the hope or promise of amend ment. And it could not be otherwise, and will be, while the administration of affairs are conducted with honesty r.nd justice, bitter and vengeful republicans to the contrary notwitLhstanding. Among the noticeable measures pro posed, is one to reduce fees "of county Treamnrers; to abohmsh olfice of Audi tors, and devolve the duty on the Treas urers ; to repeal the Act to establish an armed force ; to amend the code of pro cedua ; to prevent County Commissioners being interested in contracts ; to repeal the licence law, already reported back from committee for recommendation that it do pass ; to repeal an Act enti tIed "An Act to relieve the State of South Carolina of all liability for its gnaranty of the bonds of the Blue Ridge Rtailroad Company," etc., etc. Governor Moses' Irsugural Was delivered before the tmembers of* the Senate and IIouse on the third in-I stant. The Gov. devotes the greater part of his message to a revie'y of the late unfortunate condition of affairs in the State, and generally throws the bur den of their existence upon the tax pay ers; compliments the retiring 'Covernor for his ''successful administration," and eulogizes Mr. Greeley, which latter we hope he feels, heartily. The Governor says : "While I shall not forget th.at, as a( candidate, f represented in my person the Union Re-publican party, whose ben eticent principles are expressed in the< doctrine of equal rights and exact jus tice to all men-now incorporated in ther funda:nentai law of the State' and nation -and while, under any and all circum- t stances, my duty of devotion and fideli-t ty to my party shall be ever present to1 mymind, I tru-t that I many always re r member that, as the Gi~ef Magistrate of th-- State, I represe~nt all the people of M,uth Cazro'lina,. and that the lines whic-h limit may ze-l for their interest must, in I honor, be co-extensive with her boun-< daries. Stamnding here to dar in the august( presence of the assemblled la.v-maker, oft the State, and of this largte multitu:de.< wit:h the oath o.f offce in all itsi sol.-mn sanctity fresh upon my lips. I pledge my best efforts to insure that, during I o r administration, "the Commonwealth shall suffer no detriment."

Our people are happy in the pos esion of a bountiful soil and a gen il climate. Here tLe varied products f the temperate and tropic zones grow ide by side, while our streams are flash ng in the sunlight of a perpetual spring. 'he imperial plant, whose fleecy fibres nter into the raiment of civilized man broughout t'.e globe, and whose tro Luction pre -ses heavily upon the very alance wheels of the commercial ex hanges of the world, has here its na ive home and m..t luxurialt gro% th. et the face of the emigrant is turneui . av from our State, and capital, which ets' labor in motion, aid creatcs :e winifactures which cont: iut - !1 h .oImfor tard the elevation tf an, AhrI..s ack from us, as if the 4ak of pesti ence were itokei a'd its vit; mpt;i ut up:n this b,:eatiftIl la d of ours.

To those who deemed it proper to as ail me, during the canvass, with unpar lieled acerbity, I would say, ,in kindly pirit, that the obloquy of their assaults as been met and answered at the ballot ox, and I do not desire to revive the -ecollection of their defeat, save by prov ng in my pablic conduct that their re roaches were undeserved." We do not like the general tone of the xovernor's inaugural. The use of the ;ord rededicate is unfortunate. We do ope that the Governor and his legisla ure will "dedicate" their powers, as we re inclined to think they desire, to a ood policy, for they stand with "the atb of office in all its solemn sanctity" 'resh upon the Governor's lips. We shall at all times be more than leased to give Gov. Moses and his leg slature a full measure of praise for all the good they do in behalf of our bur ened and distressed Commonwealth. Further Particulars of the Awassination of John ,. Barre. Since our last issue Mr. Mathias Barre, atber of the lamented John J. Barre, aas received a letter giving additional particulars of the bloody tragedy, which so recently occurred in Florida, and hich has bereft him of a tenderly be oved and loving son. The letter is written by the father of James Birre, al ready named as the other victim, and at hose store the assassination it appears ook place, and not, as stated, on the aighway, arid is as near being a cor rect statement of the distressing occur ence as can be known. We make the rollowing extract from it: "It seems there was no one in the store tt the time but your son and my son, -hen, on bearing a g'un fired off at the oor, Cousin John stepped to the door nd was immediately sho't, my son im rediately stepped to his assiiaance and as also shot ; upon this, Mr. HTart ran n to their assistance, and was shot in the shoulder. Mr. Perry ar.d Mr. Far al both ran in and no shot at. The urderers, (five of them.) then took to :he woods. It wams nothing more nor ess than a cold-blooded ar-sassination~ and nurder. The Jury of Inquest re:urmid verdict that John J. Barre came to his ueath from pistol anid gunshot wounds, inflicted by W. J. Carroi!, C M. Carroll aid J. D. Wingate. Cousin John was not in any diflict,ity of iany kii:a with these men that I could tind out. It eeed to be the universal opinion of the people, that the gun fired off first was a decoy to bring my son or your son, or some one, to the door, when the murderers commenced the bad work. Mly opinion, based upon what others tAd me, is that the party did not care ahorn they murdered; they had commit ted murder only 2+ miles from the resi dece of my son, only an hour or so be fore they made the attack on our sons. "Your son John and my son James, were wounded Saturday evening, the 23d inst., at half-past 4 o'clock, Cousin John died 15 minutes before 12 o'clock Mon day, my son died at 8 o'clock, Monday night." Since the receipt of the letter from which the above extract is made, we find a version of the murder in the Charles ton Daily News, taken from the Like D~ity Herald. This account says : "A t Ellisville, a small hamlet near the outern horder of this county, a terrible tr gedy was enacted on las~ Saturday vening. John Barre and Jas. l3arre, two :en in the vig.ir oif youthful man ood, were shot down in col:l blood arid rutaly murilered. The circumstances, is we have been able to gather themi, .vere as follows: There had been a feud ir some time between a man named Tharles Carroll and James -Barre, from abich more than once serious results nd been expected. On the afternoon of he day named above, Chas Carr ol, ecompanied by his brother William and us brother-in-law, Daniel Wingate, visi ed the store at Ellisville kept by James 3arre, Charles Carroll being armed with double-barrelled gun. The other two iad no visible arms. In a little while furious quarrel sprung up between Tharles Carroll and his brother-in-law inzgate, and the party left the store pparently in great anrger, for the purpose f having a settlement. The two Barres, rohn and James, followed almost im nedi'itey afterward, for the purpose of areentig, if possible, what threatened o be a very serious diffcuhy~ between he two brothers-in-lara, both of horm vere known to be reckless anid desperate ien. The two Barres, unsuspicious of langer to themselves-for no word of luarrel had passed between them andI he other parties-had no so,oner emer.:ed 'romn the building than they were imme iatel shot down by means of the double aarreled gun in the hands of Chas. arrol. James Barre received a charge f seven buc-k,bot in the u per portion >f his right breast, and .John Barre was xounded with an equal number ot buck hot in the left br east, the charge shat :ering the upper portion of his arm to :uch an extent as to render subsequent imputatinn necessary near the shoulder nint. Besides these injuries. whichb ere the fatal ones, be t': men re :eived rmuds in athei nnrtions of tbeir b-odies from pist'lI shots, which they afterward, ia their death.bed testimony, 6eclared were inflicted on them by Wm:. Carroll T and Daniel ingate, who, the- de clared, came up and shot them with v pistols after they had fallen. The quar- t rel between Carroll and Wingate, it is p now believed, was only a sham and in- r tended as a ruse t, decoy the Barres out of doors away from their arns where they might be mo-e saf&ly slaughtered." The Like City Herald makes the as sertion, in continuati!)n of its account, that Johh J. Barre was a fugitive froi justice from this State, he having killed a Deputy U.it:d Ss Mar.shal. This is (enth ey u:. e. noI) D,putv Marshal I was ki;ed by i'.i, nidr mi he ever try to acerrnpli.,h such a decd. ie har'i beII driven rom h;me tm.l..iae under Ku hiux aith;o i ,, : t i:. riot E forgotten, 'y the ptipl' f thi: Coun-l ty and State, t:hLt ii; the house of a friend, in E.:hti-i Countv, ejing a brief rest, ie imhllsetf was :hot down by a posse undLr tle c.-ininand of a United Snite.siarsh.. This is no doubt what the L-Oke City ilerald had got hold of, but not in the right shape. John J. Barre was thu one :hbot, and not the Marshal as stat,-d, and e trust that the Lake City HerAld, as ,eil as the Charles ton News, will make correction of the in jurious statement, in vindication of the iciory of In intocent and estimable young man, and fur the satisfaction of his family and friends. United States Court. The petition for involuntary bankrupt cy of the G. & C. R.

Con spiracy against Thomas Roundtree. Mr. Corbin argued the case on tire part of the Governnent, and Mr. Y. J. Pope for prisoner. Judge Bond charged the jury, after which they retired, and in a short time returned a verdict of guilty as to the first and fourth counts, and not guilty as to the third and fifth counts of indictment. At length it is proved that a man has more vanity than i wonan.
