U. .BUTLER, OP 1 U ti b'IRL D. 'T'Iac 1?eclension or Orr. The (Columbia Puenix says that "having parsed "Orr" some time sinoe in a very ingenious way, we presume of course that the % innsboro NFvs will now decline the word." The Columbia Ph<enix, if it will permnit us who have made the study of political grammar a speciality, to say so, is a far better political moral. ist than political grammarian. For Orr being, as we have said, a politi c. disjunctive conjunction, at pres ent separating honest men from thieves, but more closely connected with the latter, has an evident capaci ty for politico-moral declonsion ; but politiuo-gra matically considered, Orr, in spite of its numerous va riations is indeclinable, being in fact, by reason of them, all that it is capa ble of being already, for it is a politi .al particle which never did have, aud heas net now, either independent Lexistene or discriminating qiuolity, but inivaziably gravitates, by the fix od law of its usage and nature, to wards what is, or scorns to be, the beavier and winning alternative of the political situation ; as, just now, for example :Be honest, Orr ; say plaly you propose to join the thieves anid steal. N. B, It is our Dovil, and not our elves, that has gone and put a ruin. >us semi-colon in the example, after hte interesting word whose usage we weroeondeavoring to explain to the Phloun ix. Such punctuation makes mense, it is true, but we are not re eponsible for it. Leave out the semi iolon, and you will then have the present political situation, and thme ritornative with which Orr is more 3losely cannooted t viz .lie honest, Drr say plainly, that you propose to joiu the thieves and steal. Out of the Bsrain. A grioult.urists as a class are prover. :>al for never looking further thanm heir fee.corners, and give all truth mitsido of their fenoes a most apathe ic and india'eront reception. When Joneral liut ler and other pablio speak mrs tell them thiat-"all wealth is dug >ut of the gonad," the with compla. 3ent self-Aoonceit assent, as did,hls gol-. ored audience, with a "dat4s so ; dat's mo exaekly." But the truth is, dat'snot to at all. Ther. 'is not ont reoord a ingle instance of great wealth do~g hut of the ground. A merely agri. ~ultural people is usually the inost, gnorant and the poorest people on the ~noe of the earth. And, moreover, when a people ha&ve unertaken to dig ill their wealth out of cAhe ground tihey mavo inivarlably done most of their ligging unskillfully, and unprofitably >osides.

Unfortunately thio belief has a teralency to realize itself, as a oleed always has, in fact. Almost allof our our present wealth is unfor tunately got out of the ground. That is the reason it is got so unskilfully, and is not a fifth part of what'it ought to be. If a little more were obtained out of the brain applied to manufac turing and to art, it would be better for, usill. IlIgLlt TIne to Stisr. In our judgement, citizens should attend a meeting at WVinnaloro, from every neighborhood in Fairfield on the first Monday of Snpteinbe- in or der to organile for the canva in this County. If a suitable set of honest white and black candidates for the eight offices to be filled will take the 6eld,and canvass earnestly in their own behalf, this County can be carried in favor of Rieforin. It may be better to unito our countytioket with that of the Scott ptrty. Lot it be decided whether to wake the offer, or not, up on due consultation. It is high time to have some plan or other, and the flirst Monday of September is an ex cellent time for taking counsel to gether in forming one. We hea t i approve, therefore, of the call ,;cd Union Reformer in our colum. to day. Importaint to Debtors. By an amendment to the United States Bankrupt acts, passed on the 14th of July last, any debtor can take the benefit of going into bank ruptcy, without being compelled to pay fifty cents on the dollar, for all of his debts contracted previous to the 1st of January, 1869. [coMMSICu AT1D.] Mr. News : I've often been asked and every one wants to know how I am going to vote and in a few words I am going to tell : 1. I ought to vote for Scott and Ringer. 2. 1 ought not to vote for Carpen ter and Butler. 3. The bigge.t crowd's going for Scott and Ringer and they have got all the money and all the offices. I s%y the biggest crowd is going for them because the niggers belong to them and they can make them vote as they please. They say they steal. I don't care for this; there is honour amongst thieves, and by ny keeping amongst the crowd, I'll swear they won't steal from inc and I'll get some good picking and an office toe. I am not much promoted now oily a Coun try Jur,tieo of the peace, an office sny nigger can get that can write, and UJa) bo I'll get something better in time to come, and if I don't, as the times are hard, 1 hope the Ring will pay me a thousand dollars or so for writing this letter. If yoit think so, Mr. Editor, you cmn send mno'$200 st 10 per cnt discount for cashin.g the expectation. W'ellI, beaides, both par ti'es are the same except one is full of convicted thieves, and the other ohlaims to be honest. I am much in favor of that great and good man Whitnmore and think him smart. You well know hcstolo the mnonoy and got oil' after convlction without being hung. I am of the opinion that I wvill cultiv;ate his acquaintance and mayhe I can Iearj to do smart things and have all kept mum. You see virtue used to be great things, but that was in scurvy old days, when old fogien knew no botter. Vrico is much superior to virtue and much more p'opular and will get the puoM. votes. The fact is, I ama tor the side in power and the one I think has the best chance, -and eepecially I'm for the oue that palys the best, now I man this is any natural inclination. Bunt I have not said the way I will veto': I have only slhy? how my feel ing are on the subject. '4he, fact is there are a goed many' ether reasons that urNge me .omi. I want on office, what eate I for honesty? I Iwant a fait office, what caro I for principle ? I have sold my sou1 for. loss titan th.r ty pieces of, ilv'er. .Vilat oare I for n.souso,pf honour ?, .

I'll drink deep and have no care, away with sobriecy. i'll take money I don't ca'e who offers it. Good-bye honour1 - liut ['ought not to let out all my progranie. Well the faict is, Mr. Editor, I don't for a mioment suppose you care inuch how I go, and if I thought yoh did, I would go the other way.* The~ fact Is I am a kind of political sneak, and as I spend tuost of amy timne round. the bar.room, I1 beliov-.I .wvill vote 'with the man that treatse hos~ot.

You are charg. od with nauming the central executive comuittee residing at the courthouse, and we suggest that we name some of eitber color, if practicable, and not let your committee be too large : 1. This committee must immedi ately appoint a sub-committee foi each township, beat, or some other practicable division. 2. Each sub-committee should pro, coeed at once to organize its scotion into clubs or societies. 3. Each club or society should ap point an aotivo, intelligent man to nake a list of every voter in his town, ship or section, with his political pro olivities opposite his name. 4. These lists should be forwarded to the central committee at the court house, and consolidated, each clul keeping a copy. 5. Every man favorable to the Re form movement should be assignet the duty of influencing one or more votes, and take charge of them on th< day of election, and see that they reach the polls, or remain away if un favorable ; and when the voters have no transportation, see that it is pro vided. 6. On the day of election, two oi three discreet and intelligent met should be assigned by tho central ex ecutivo connittee to go to each ele. tion precinct, with a list of votore alphabetically made out, and keep an account of the voters and challenge illegal voters.

On last Saturday a large body of armed negro militit from this point, Clinton, and Martin'i Depot, marched thro-igh the country to Jack's old field, a rendezvous o: a local militia company.
