Congressman, Speaker, Confederate Senator, Judge and Minister to Russia. James L. Orr, of South Carolina, was ono of the ablest of the Southern leaders for a decade boforo the civil war, when ho served in Congress, and ho had a very important part in the reorganization and final reoon struotion of the State after the over throw of tlie few able national loaders who, while heartily sympathizing with the South and sincerely dovoted to all Southern interests, was not blinded by sectional passion, and well under stood that secession meant war, and that war meant destruction. He was thoroughly honest and patriotic iu all his purposes and actions ; thor oughly commanded tho confidence of tho Southern Democrats before tho war, and of the Southern loaders during the existence of the Confede racy (when he served uninterrupt edly in tho Confederate Senate) and of all parties-carpet-baggers, adventurers and radical Southerners -in tho many bitter and desperate conflicts in his State which attended reconstruction. Olin's ANTE-BKIJXM OA UK ER. Orr was born in Craytonvillo, South Carolina, May 12, 1822. He was of tho old Scotch-Irish stock that emigrated southward from Pennsylvania and gave the three counties of South Carolina in which they settled the names of Cheater, Lancaster and York. While ho was a South Carolinian by birth, educa tion, affinity and interest, he was born and reared in the western val leys of the State, which are shadowed by the mountains, and while slaves existed there they were compara tively few in number, and labor in the shop and field was not regarded ns degrading to the whiteman, while in the central and eastern part of tho State the slave population largely predominated over the whites. He did not inherit fortune, but by care and frugality lie attained a col legiate education, graduating at the University of Virginia in 1842. He then studied law and located at Anderson, among his old neighbors, to practico his profession, where he established and edited a village paper entitled The Gazette. When but twenty-two years of age he was elected to the Legislature arid first attracted general attention by his earnest and able denunciation of nullification, that was then a linger ing issue in the State. Four yoars later he was oleoled to Congress, and his first contest was opposed by a more radical Southerner, but Orr was elected by a decided majority. He was re-elected at the four fol lowing consecutive elections without opposition, and in December, 1857, whun entering upon his last Con gressional term, he was chosen Speaker, after having been unani mously nominated by tho Democrats. Ho thus served in Congress during tho bitter contest for tho repeal of the Missouri Compromiso and the desperate struggles lalor made ovor the Kansas issue, but ho was always conservative and sought to exercise a wholesome restraining influence upon the blin<? /caders of slavery who led it to its'final and convulsivo ovortbrow.

Secession Convention of South Caro lina, in which he earnestly opposed tho withdrawal of the Stato from the Union, but he stood almost alone, and when tho secession ordinance was adopted he yielded his own per sonal com lotions to the sovereign power of the State, and when war came he was among the first to march a regiment of his riflemen to tho support of tho Confederate cause. Before ho had attained any active military service he was elected to tho Confederate Senate, where he served during tho entire existence of tho Confederate government. He was | one of tho three Confederate com missioners appointed by tho Stato to visit Washington in December, 1860, to treat for the surrender of the forts ! in tho Charleston harbor, and ho was the ono member of that commis sion who seemed to understand tho magnitude of the issue they wore called upon to solve. Ho was a care ful student, an intelligent observer, and ho was one of the moat genial and popular of all tho Southern Con gressmen. I think it safe to say that he had more acquaintances and warmer friends among tho Northern Representatives than any other man from the South, and he understood the North and its resources and the character of its people better than any of the madcap leaders who plunged the country into civil war. (SOVKBNOn Ol' SOUTH CAROLINA. His career in the Confederate Sen ate was not an aggressive ono, as he better understood the resistless trend of events than did most of his asso ciates, but he was school in the doctrine of the sanctity of Stato sovereignty on which the Confede racy was founded, and he sustained the secession government according j to his best judgment. When the' end came and tho Southern armies were surrendered and their banners furled, ho at once directed his efforts to the great work of restoring the people of his State to some measure TH*t RACE Does not depend on the start but on the finish.

A few months after the close of the war he announced himself as a oandidate for Governor of South Carolina under Johnsou's reoonstruotion policy. He was known as a liberal Southerner, who desired to heal tho wounds of war and restore the country to peuce, but tho more radioal Southern element opposed his elootion and selected Gen. Wado Hampton, then the most popular of South Carolina soldiers, to make the contest against Orr. It was a very earnest battle betwoon these two favorites, as both were men of superior ability, ripe oxperi enoe and personally popular, but Orr was oleoted by less than a thousand majority, and served until thc Con gressional reconstruction polioy. en franchised the negroes, who largely dominated in tho State, and started the carpet-bag rule by electing a mixture of whites and blacks to lill the important Stato offices. When the new reconstruction polioy was inaugurated his position as a conservative Southerner, opposed to anti-submissive polioy of most of the old South Carolina leaders, com manded sufficient respect for him in the first negro Legislature to elect him Circuit Judgo of his district. There was no negro or Southerner in sympathy with tho oarpot-bag authority who could bo given the judicial office, and it was voluntarily tendered to Orr, who accopted it and rendered a great sorvice to his peo ple. The people of property gono rally throughout the State were bankrupt, and the debts contracted on tho basis of Confederate monoy, that was no longer avuilablo for tho pp y ment of obligations, mado the caso of every debtor hopeless. Most of them took the benefit of the National Bankrupt law simply be cause it was a supremo neces ity, but in Judgo Orr's district he est. unshed tho unwritten law that every coeditor was entitled to recover from the debtor only what was equitably due him, and no tribunal in tho Stato ever reversed him. Olin's GENIALITY. I, liad met Orr frequently during his ten years of service in Congress, and learned to know him quito well when he served as Speaker of the House. Tho Speaker's room was then cue of the most delightful places to visit in Washington, and I never missed an opportunity to drop in and have a chat where all received tho most generous welcome, but I had more intimate relations with him in South Carolina four or five years after tho war, when I spent a winter at tho South Carolina capital representing important Philadelphia railroad interests, looking to an air line from Washington to tho gulf. Judge Orr was always a frequent visitor at Columbia, and became inti mately associated with ine in import ant business operations. Ho was perhaps tho only man then in tho Stato who enjoyed tho confidence and respect of tho old-time South erners, and commanded tho respect of tho oarpot-bag rulers, although not in sympathy with them in any of thoir radical or profligate measures. Ho was a delightful, genial com panion, and a most entertaining con vcrsionalist. His knowledge of men and of business affairs generally was better than that of any other citizen I met in the State. He was straight forward, honest and practical in all things, and I found him invaluable in council and most effioient in exe cution. THE CAPITOL AT COLUMBIA. On this occasion I saw tho first negro Legislature. Robert K. Scott, of Ohio, was then in his first term as carpet-bag Govor nor, and was re elected in tho fall of tho same year. Tho other important Stato oflicos were divided botwoen tho whites and blacks, and in both branches of tho Legislature the nogroes largoly pro dominated. Prior to tho war tho old South Carolina pride was cen tered in tho construction of its new oapitol, that had heon under way for some yoars, and was built up to tho squaro ready for the roof when tho war arrestod its progress. It was tho dream of tho South Carolina leaders timi it would one day bo the oapitol of tho Southern Confederacy, and it was constructed with lavish expenditure. Its imposing columns, some of which were alroady in posi tion, and scores of others scattered over the capitol grounds in an unfin ished condition, and tho oxquisite Italian tnnrblo finishing, ready to ho put in place, foreshadowed the gran deur of the structure when com pleted. When Sherman reaohed Columbia the sheds under which the stone-cutters fashioned the work foi the building wore yet standing, mak ing an almost completo covering ol workmen's sheds over tho grounds, - -' i Ok They were burnt during the fire when Sherman's army was in the oity, and destroyed muoh of the stone work. . The ono plaeo to whioh the old South Carolinian would not turn his e'*es was to the oapitol that was once his greatest pride, and that then had been hastily improvised with wooden roof and finishing to enable tho released bondmen to make laws for their masters. THU N K< ; KO ON TUB QUARTER-DECK. There was a number of unusually able negro leaders in the State at tho time, and they could have made a great record for themselves and for thoir raoo; but they were human and should not be too severely judged fut yielding to the tempta tions whioh environed them. Pro fligacy and theft were in tho air, and the slaves who had blacked the boots of guests at the hotels filled tho chairs of Senators and Representa tives, and when idleness and luxury seemed to be free gifts there were fow, if any, who had tho courage to maintain thoir integrity. Ono was a Supremo Judge, others wero Circuit Judges; and they wore represented in every department and ready t? follow tho unscrupulous white lead ers, who misled them into the most bewildering corruption and extrava gance Tho negro was master, and ho know it, and tho men who led him doubtless know that their mas tery must be brief ; but they ex pectod to' enrich themselves and escapo in time, leaving tho negro tho legney of criminal punishment and poverty. Ono white adventurer who bargained and won high position from the carpet-bag government in sisted that tho battle of 1876, that resulted in tho overthrow and sur render of carpet-bag rule, should b,e fought out desperately to the end, giving his reason that there was **at least four moro years of good steal ing in tho Stato." The Governor was weak and corrupt, and his weak ness greatly accentuated his dishon esty, as it made him the plaything of jostling plunderers. ^ <. A RUSK. Such was tho situation in South Carolina when I spent the winter of 1870 at tho capital. Tho social con ditions w j sharply, defined. The old SoUvii Carolina pride naturally refused all social recognition of the negro under every circumstance, and tiioy carried it to the extreme of refusing recognition of all who gave any measure of recognition to tho negro. An amusing incident oc curred at Governor Scott's first recep tion. Judge Orr was at tho same hotel with me, and ho was invitod along with myself, Mrs. McClure and a young lady who accompanied us. It was not cortain whether thc prominent men and women of color would be among tho guests, but it was regarded as probable. Judge Orr and myself were both so situatod as to mike it prudent for us to attend the reception, but tho question was what to do with tho ladies. The Judge finally decided that he would take Mrs. McClure and I should take her companion, and that we would go early, and if at any time during tho entertainment tho colored guests made their appearance one of thc ladies of our party should become suddenly ill and .compel us to retire. The arrangement waa perfected with the ladies, and wo went to the recep tion, but fortunately no colored vis itors came. Tho Governor was a candidato foi re-election, and ho knew that in nc way could ho give greater offense tc the whites of the State than to have a promiscuous gathering of blackt and whites on a social occasion ir tho Governor's mansion. He could arrange with tho negroes and theil poiitioal loaders, beoauso that wa* simply a question of interest, but he had no way to disarm the hostility of tho Southon) whites but by ex cluding tho blacks nt his receptions Ile was ?o-elecled some months later and after that period tho Governor'i mansion was often tho scene of vio lent social revels of mixed audience! of blacks and whites. SOUTHERN 1HTTKRNKH8. Tho secession feeling was then a white heat not only in Columbia bul generally throughout the State Thoy could stand defeat whon the] had given up everything, but hone in defense of thoir oause, but tin advent of tho nogro rioting in thi oapitol designed to woloome th* government of tho expected Confedo racy and tho ostentatious profligao; of the now ruler? naturally arouse< tho bitterost resentment among Uv Southorn people. Columbia had fol the most fearfully avonging blow o tho war next to Atlanta, and with out the excuse of military neoessitj and the women wero implacable i thoir hostility to everything c AK Northern flavor. I many times ?aw accomplished and refined ladies on the streets of Columbia when passing a soldier on the sidewalk deliberately draw their skirts and pass as far from him as possible, to teach him that the touch of the uniform would be contamination, and this was done when no provocation was offered by the quietly passing soldier. A prominent Columbia banker, who had become profitably con nected with the business operations in South Carolina which I repre sented, and who had twice dined with Judge Orr and myself as my guest, when invited a third time exhibited muoh embarrassment, and, after some hesitation, said that be oould not acoept further hospitality, glad as he would be to do so, for the reason that he could not return it at his own home. His wife, an accom plished, refined and highly-esteemed lady, had brooded over the misfor tunes of the Southern people until it became an impossibility for her to receive at her table a Northern vis itor. I understood the situation and insisted that our relations were purely of a business character and not to be governed by social conven tionalities. He was greatly relieved, and thereafter dined with us op many' occasions, all of which were largely business conferences. . AN OLD LINK SOUTHERNER. A more pointed illustration of thia feeling among the old lino Southern ers was given mo by Judge Orr him self. Near his home, under tin shadows of the mountains, he had i neighbor of the old Southern school advanced in years, unable to earn i living after t lie sore exactions of wa had fallen upon him, but when al else had gone his pride remainei with even increasing vigor. Hi family was helpless, oonsistinj wholly of daughters, and during th the last year of the war they wer known to be in actual want. T have offered him a charity woul< have boen to invito the business on< of his shotgun, and Judge Orr woul occasionally send him a barrel c flour from his mill and some bacor with a regular bill charging the arti des at the full inflated prioo in Coi: federate money, that was not wort ten cents on the dollar, thoreby et abling tho old gentleman to receiv tho flour and bacon as a pnrohasi although both ho and tho giver knei that payment was never to b thought of. This waa done by Judg Orr and others for a long perioi Somo four or fivo years after the wt Judge Orr issued invitations to th old gentleman and to his otb? neighbors to the wedding of h daughter, who married a son'of Gei Patterson, of Philadelphia. Th marriage of Judge Orr's daughter I a Northern man gavo mortal offeni to the chivalrous old Southernc and thenceforth he and his fami never gave any social recognition I Judge Orr or his household. ANECDOTE OF MISS EVANS. Judged in the light of the presor with tho sorrows of that period o tirely effaced, this feeling of tl Southern people is not viewed generously as it should be. Tl women of the South were raised utter helplessness and were sudden plunged into the most abjeot po erty, without training to praotU industry and usefulness, and wh tho men of the South were broug into constant contact with Northet ers in business affairs, tho worn wero left in their impoveish homes to mourn over the luxur which had so suddenly fled fr< thom. I saw this illustrated even so intelligent a woman as M Evans, then the most celebrated Southern authoresses. 1 once h tho pleasure of lunching with I and her husband, Mr. Miller, at 1 pretty Southern homo near Mob and while J knew that the civil v was a forbidden subject in all sot oirclcs in the South, 1 ventured snggest to her that thc great succ of hor many volumes alroady pi lished shonld inspire her to wi another embodying some of tho ra rnmantio phases of tho war. I genial manner was suddenly ohang and with a sobor earnestness t was painfully pathetic, she said t she never had spoken of tho war I read a lino relating toit since war onded. MINISTER TO RUSSIA. Judge Orr never ooased to be important politioal faotor in So Carolina, even during the fiood-1 of nnrpot-bag debauchery. An eil was made by tho better elomenti tho State, including some of Republican leaders, to defeat the election of Governor Mosos, M although a native of the State, tho most reckless and audacious all the Southern profligates, and < is now Leard of only as a vagrant in the courts of Boston or New York. Judge Orr had the courage to go into the convention and nominate an independent Republican for Gover nor. An earnest battle was made, but all the election machinery was in the hands of the most reckless rulers, and Moses was re-eleoted. Failing to succeed in winning a reform State government, he deoided in 1872 that he could best accomplish some good for South Carolina by going into fel lowship with the National Republi can party, and J last saw him when he was in Philadelphia as ohairman of the Sooth Carolina delegation in the National Convention that re nominated Graut. Age ' and tireless effort and con suming care had broken tho vigor of his health, and his course was bit terly condemned by many of his old South Carolina friends, but no man ever acted more conscientiously to serve the interests of his poople. Soon thereafter he was appointed by Grant as Minister to Russia,' and was confirmed by the Senate without objeotion, but age and oare had multiplied his infirmities, and on the 6th of May, 1878, just two months after he bad presented his credentials to the Czar, he died in the Russian oapital, and thus ended the life and efforts of one of the best, purest and bravest of the sons of the South.
