with muoh surpris?, notices tho recent aspersion

Hhrewd, prudent men who always fortify their
property by insurance, this Company directs its
agents, everywhere to nuke no reinsurance, give
no surplus of this Company, nor make other busi?

have arr?yed themselves in insulting attitude to?
wards the special class named. We shall be glad
to receive their continued patronage-require only
the test of good character required of all other
parties ' and make this publication not to elec?
tioneer for their special favor, but because our re?
cord of years proves tho losses by this is no greater

number of our colored citizens assembled at the
Court House last Monday to hear the address of

that the meeting was not genetally known; so that
every colored man, woman-and child might have
been present. Our thus and space forbid a de?
tailed account of the-speeches of the above gentle?
men. Asido from General Scott's construction of
law,-his speech contained a good deal of good and
no objectionable advice. The remarks of the Rev.
Mr. fVencri"did much credit to him as a represen?
tative of the christian church, waa truth nd and
well 'received by both white and colored citizens.

the request of some of the colored men, followed
these gentlemen in-the same strain of good ad ? ice
which they had given.. V
At night both our white and colored citizens
met at the Court House and interchanged opinions
on the. situation-freely and in a friendly manner.
Mr. Haines (colored) presided. Speeches were
made-by prominent citizens of both races. Tho
best Of feelings prevailed and no doubt much good
will result from the interchange hi sentiments.
We aro informed that the meeting adjourned until
the last Saturday in May, when it ja proposed to
have a meeting of .citizens genet ally, Doth white

SPEECH OF GOV. ORR
ORGANIZATION OF A UNIOS PARTY.
[From the Carolinian.]
The colored men of Columbia, on Monday morning,
held a large, qniet and interesting meeting, with a view
to organise a party and adopt a platform of principles,
looking both to the'r own welfare and thc interests of the
two races. As on a previous occasion, a number of citi?
zens wore m vi ted to bc present and address thc meeting
Among tli esc were hla Excellency Governor Orr, lion.
Jumes G. Gibbes, Cel. L. D. Childs Messrs. John Cald?
well, T. J. P.obe. ison and \. M. Hunt. A band was like?
wise in attendance and discoursed its music between the
various speeches mode.
The assembly was called to order about half-past ten
o'clock, "?nd 8, B. Thompson chosen Chairman, who, in
a few well timed remarks, stated the object of the meet?
ing to tte the organization of. a republican form of ? Stale
government that would oe acceptable to Congress, and to
thc two races hf the South. An earnest prayer ? as then
delivered by Kev. -, 'we did not learn the name)
after which, on motion, a committee of thirteen was ap?
pointed to droi t a series of resolutions expressive of the
sense of . he meeting.
The white members of this Committee were Messrs.
Gibbes, Caldwell and Robinson. The colored members
wero William Myers, N. E. Edwards, James Davis, P.
Nowell. E. Thomson, G. M. Bynum. J. Pitzximnions, C
Wilder, Wm. Simona. The Committee retired to per?
form thetr-duty. "?
The Chairman then called upon his Excellency Gov?
ernor Orr to address the audience (which, by this time,
numbered nearly 2000), and he did so as follows:
SPEECH OE GOVERNOR ORB.
Mr F ELENDS: I have accepted the invitation to ad?
dress yon on this occasion with greet satisfaction, but I
regret that personal indisposion will prevent me from
elaborating the views I had intended to submit, and that
1 shall be necessarily restricted to a limited lino of re?
mark.
I am glad that you ore taking some interest in thc
present political aspect ol tho country, and are alive to
the importance of the questions involved in your present
and prospectivo situation. The conduct of your y topic,
commencing with tbe inauguration of the late war, has
elicited the approval of all right-minded men. During
its progress, yon demeaned yourselves with quiet, pur?
suing your ordinary avocations without the exhibition of
turbulence or violence; and when its close rcsultod in
your manumission, you did not even then Rive vent to
those excesses which were feared by many in the
Southern States, and. no doubt, hoped for by bad mon in
otherttocallties.
Being in a position which enables me to acquire info' ?
marlon from every portion of the State, I can say further,
and with much satisfaction, that, during the prosent
year, those of your people who are engaged In farm labor
are pursuing their, dutiee with moro steadiness and as?
siduity than during the year preceding. Such conduct
shows that you properly appreclatd the great boon of 1
freedom which has been bestowed upon you, and aro
disposed to do that which, while making you worthy
and useful members of the community, will command
the respect of all good citizens. [Appl. use. J
As tho Executive of South Carolina, since November,
1SC5-when your manumission had been but a short
time declared-I have sought td hold tbo. se des ol justice
equally between you and the white race. I havo thrown
the protecting arm of the State around you in every to?
staree wheeo acta of oppression have come to % my
knowledge, and where wrong has been dene your people
by inconsiderate and vicious white men, I have endeav?
ored to bring all such to justice and to condign punish?
ment. I have had equal occasion to reprobate the con?
duct of persona of your own color. So long aa I con?
tinue to discharge the duties of this position-and its
sands are running rapidly out-I shall act in this imp r
Ual and disinterested manner; but if there be any lean?
ing required, it shall always be to that aide which ia
least able to protect itself. [Applause.)
You have accompLshed a great deal, but much yet re?
mains to be done. If those ot you who aro able to read
will refer to the history ol the Israelites, as written in
the Bible, you will find that the progress you havo made
since you have been relieved from bondazc is much
greater than theirs. And you will learn somo instructive
lessons in tracing that history, which will admonish you
not to attempt to make too rapid progress, lest, ib so do?
ing, you fall by the way-side.
According to account given us in the Scriptures, thc
Jews were'in bondage four hundred and tulrtv years;
and when tho Almighty had determined that they should
be relieved, de sent pl guea upon tho King of the Egyp?
tians, that he might bc induced to aUow them to deport
In peace for the Land of Promise. He turned thc water
courses into blood, and afflicted tho Egyptians with
locusts, lice and frogs; and when Pharaoh sun refused to
comply with the promise made to Muaes, the first bora
? f the Egyptians were smitten in a singlo night. Then
lt was than tao cry wont up, .."Let these, ueoplo go."
With all th eli worldly po??es??oiM, Uio IsruoUios-'act forth
apon their pilgrimage to the land of Cnn.ian. Pharaoh,
recovering {rpm the stunning effects of - the affliction that
ted been.- sent upon him, determined to pursue, and
round them Upon the shores ol the Red Sea; tut just as
they appeared to be m his meshes, the waters parted; tho
israelites paned over dry shod; and when Pharaoh and
bis hoet fellowed, God, to hla wrath,'- caused the waves
to como together Again, and thc : mighty amy vanished
from ?ho nw? of - the earth.- Yet tho Israelites did not
reach the land of Canaan for a long time. .Suffering and
priva ion was their lot tor many years. . ,
Now, my theory of the object of the detention is this:
l"hat thia people, having boon m bondage tour hundred
md thirty yara, were disqualified by their want of self
reliance, of knowledge, ot InteLigence and training, to
xxopy ot once the country that had been act apart for
them by Divine Providence. They tra ve dod in tho wil
iarneas tor forty years, and when they finally entered thc
land of Canaan, Moses had fallen, Aaron had been gatti
sred to the land of bis. eth?rs, and there was none but
Joshua a d Caleb'of all that vast host of males who were
numbered at Sinai, above the age of twenty years.
The distance from Egypt to Canaan was leas thru .100
miles-a distance that may now be travelled, by railroad,
in twenty hours; but Ki forty yean they marched and
countermarched, passing through a period of prelimina?
ry training, until another geneiation came upou tho
stage, and entered the land of promise. It ia conclusive
to my mind that the tonner generation was permitted to
pass away because they could not bc trusted with thc
possession, and it was reserved to the more enlightened
md experienced generation which followed to enjoy the
inheritance.
Now, my friends, comparing your own condition with
that of the Isra?lites, the progress you have made in two
ihort years ought to excite your surprise, and to stimu?
late you to fresh exertions, that you may more fully
merit the signal favor with which you have been blessed
rince tho hour your rreodarri_commenced.
High and important'duties are before you to perform.'
Freedom secures to you the fruits of your labo , it is
rue; but there is something more to bo done. You havo
?ot to look out for your households, and to educate
.our families, and not until another generation grows up
-I am talking frankly with you-will ycu hud that
mount of intelligence among your race which will enti?
le-you to take the front rank in civilized life. I presume
here is not one in five hundred among the colored peo
>le of the South, who enjoy tho advantages of educauou.
rhoso who have done so, have improved their oj .pori li?
nties, and profited largely from the increased intelli?
gence and lufiueuee which lias been derived. Your ?rst
jreat care, therefore, in looking to the future, is to.edu
?te your children; not m rely to teach them to read,
write and cypher, and the el. menta of knowledge, but to
inpart to them lessons in morals, politeness and self
jovernmont, and to instit princ-plea toto their hearts
which, in ten, fifteen or twenty years hence, wid make
them-an ornament to you, and a blessing to society,
rh ese lessons must be inculcated by tho teacher In the
whool-roem, a d by the father and mother around thc
li earth, it is there that the most favorable impressions
ire made upon the young mind and heart, and a charac?
ter ?B formed which, in the turare, becomes a pride or a
;urse. ^ -
Another point, you must "practice econotny. There is
BOW no compulsion upon yon to labor at the will of an?
other; but your own sense of propriety, your interests,
require that you shall labor more assiduously than you
have ever done. There ls no one now to provide for
your wants. Whatever there is m or around your lit de
?amiiy circle, wkether it be money or "food, comes from
rom H there be comfort there, you bring it; if there be
distress there, you bring it, AB you thus control your
own affairs, let your chief aim be to mato each one of |
your homes ? happy one. To do this, you must bs eco?
nomical, industrious, energotic, civil and respectful.
Save your money; put lt toto a small house, or, if you
desire a farm, buy fivo or ten acres and commence its
jultivalion. You will feel that you havo a stake in the
welfare ol the community. There will bo something
for you to h ve and labor for; and my life upon lt, when
you have thus become the possessor ol' property honest?
ly earned and paid for, you will enjoy more respect for
yourselves, and feel that you are entitled to thc respect
ar others. I repeat it again-husband your resources;
save the odd pennies; induise in no unnecessary ex?
travagance in arcas, living or otherwise. Industry and
economy will tell; but they must go band in hand. If
not, no matter how earnest you may have boen, tho re
jult will ba that when your heads have grown groy, you
will havo pron ted no more by mere industry than If you
had led an idle and dissolute hie.
-I am glad to observe another improvement, namely:
that very many of your moat intel I ?gent and respectable
people, who have themsclve- experienced thc awakening
influences of the holy religion of Jesus Christ, are devo?
ting themselves .o your spiritual welfare. These per?
sons' hkve It in their power to do your racu much good,
or, if .hey take the wrong direction, much barm. Those
who have less intelligence must necessarily look to Un ir
superiors, and it is thereforejmportaut that you should
be so Instructed by them as that you may not bu led
into trouble, and that designing mea may nut bu ad?
vanced or aggrandized at your expanse.
With reference to politics, my friends, I havo not a
great d?al to say. The man who devotes himself to poli?
tics, embarks in a very poor employment, I have been
atti now for twenty-live years, and therefore have a right
to speak with some experience upon the subj crt. but
the days of my political existence have nearly run out ;
i, nd when I retire from my prose pt position-I may add
here that I am both disfranchised and in?ligible-J never
expect again to hold or seek another political office
What I may say to you, therefore, upon the subject ot
politics, can be relied upon as the expression of mic who
bas had no little experience, and who claims to be disin?
terested.
Your State matters aro of much more consequence to
you than nat oual affairs. So far as you are concerned,
tho constitution which the State of rion th Carolina will
adopt is a subject of greater moment to you tliau the
Constitution of the United States, and the'legislation ot
South Carolina of more importance than thc legislation
of Congress. Why? Because tho State constitution
covers the-limits of the State, and affects your interests
directly. Tho State laws are the laws lo which you ure
to appeal for protecUor. and the vindication of ever)* light.
If a man undertakes tc defraud you, you co to tho State
courts to seek redress-to a State judge and a state soli?
citors. Il thc Legislature imposes un unjust and oner?
ous tax, you appeal to the State constitution, for the Le?
gislature ia tut thu creature of that constitution, deriving
norn it, and it alone, the power which gives it strength
and validity. In the approach.ng polluoal contest, there?
fore, remember that your interests are more involved ut
home and in your own State government, than in any
advantage which may be derived from attaching your?
selves to the tail of either uf the national parties, now
known ac Republican or Democratic.
Now, your people must make up their minds as to
what should bc incorporated in the State constitution:
for whether it be with ruierenca to lrec schools, lo homo
steads, to the abolishment of imprisonment for du it, or
to any other subject, thc Legislature is sworn lu carry?
out its provisions. Sec to it thin, when you choose
y. ur candidates, that their pledges are s?curcd. Bc not,
however, too exacting. You are interested as much
as we are in preserving harmony between thu two
races. Youdesiro to remain here. I desire to ren aiu
here. When I Baw buudrcds aud thousands ol your peo?
ple seeking new homes in tho West and .Southwest, it
filled my heart with regret, because I felt we could not
afford to spare a single arm from South Carolina and Ute
work of regonoradou which wo ar? called upon to per?
form.
I say to.you frankly, that if you make uojust exactions
you may succeed in Soutu Carolina, because there are
more bt?ck people here than white; bnt it is not thc case
in North Carolina, or Georgia, or i'lorida*ur Alabama.
In Mtseissipppi and Louisiana thora aro u few more; but
do you not perceivo that if you are extravagant iu de?
manding more tliau you arc really entitled to, aud you
succeed in arraying the whito race against thu black, and
jjfeating prejudices which, happily, do not now exist-do
you not perceive that tho some injustice which you at
tempt to visit upon tbc white man in South Carolina will
Ito visited upon the colored mau iu North Carolina and
elae where?
Another point : The large tracts ofland now owned by
our planters will probably be cut up into smaller tracts
and sold ut comp irativcly cheap rates, supposo that, in
South < arobina, the price should bo so low as fifty cents
per acre; can your people, with tho pcanty earnings ot
thc two years during which you .have been Iree, buy and
stock these farms, ami eompctc willi thc white men fro-o
Pennsylvania or Now Hamphire, who will soon bo pre?
pared to malie South Carolina their home, aud who, in a
few years, will swell the white population of our State
uutil it far exceed your own? There are some four or
five hundred thousand whit : peoplo who come to this
country avery year. Consequently, there will be this
great addition to the natural increase 01 the white popula?
tion, and there being no emigration trott) Africa to in?
crease your own, thc result, in a fow years, must be au
overwhelming maj or i ty of thc white race within tho limits
of thc State. Under those circumstances, am I not rieht
in admonishing you to practice moderation and modesty
tn making demauds upon thoso who will represent you
ind your interests?
Occasionally, I hear utterances of distrust "Wo aro
iifraid wc shall bc cheated. " I havo no doubt there are
bad white mon as there are bad black men. But you havo
this lever iu your hand which secures protection. Sup?
poso you adopt a sensible, rational platform, and with it,
go before tho Convention of Soutn Carolina. Then sup?
pose th men who represent you in that convention, for?
getting tho pledges they gave, allow a Constitution to b?
adopted without inserting those provisions which affect
you and your privileges, iu thc shape of free schools,
homesteads, Ac. Where ia your redress ? I will tell
rou. it is in tue Act of Congress, which declares that
liter the constitution has been adepted by the conven
Hen, it shall be submitted to thc people. If they are not
salisfi rt, all they huvo to do is, by their votes, to reject
it, and d maud another. Why, my friends, if ? ou were
sot to raise your hands, and a constitution should bo
sent by a convention to the people lor their considera?
tion, and its provisions failed to secare your just rights,
it is your privilege, even then, to vote against sud de?
mand a revision of thc instalment. It is thus that pro?
tection is thrown around every man-white and colored
-in Uie entire State, and the power given to th., people
to bo themselves jud.es of th? character of the funda
tuental law by which they are to be controlled.
Congress has seen flt to give you universal suffrage,
think it was a mistake. I think it there had been a lim i
ation-for instance, such as the ability lo road and write
-it would not only havo thrown a safeguard around the
immunity, but stimulated the ignorant of both r?eos to
it Lii n to that intellectual condition, the reward of which
vould have been the right to vote; and we should have
>eon, os a result, that in ten years from now, there would
lot be a freeman in the State unable to read and write.
Under existing circumstances, however, taking things
is they are, what is to be tho result with tho vast propor
.iou of these who aro both entirely uneducated and igno
-ant of thc duties ot citizenship ? How are their votes to
JO controlled ? Somebody is going to control them, and
hey are just as likely to bc controlled by bad men as by
jood men. One may havo a weakness for a drink of |
vhiskcy. A glass of grog tokes him oil. Another has a
wak ness for a plug of tobacco. That will carry him off.
Vnolher has a weakness for a pocket-handke. chief ora
dean shirt (laughter], and that will carry him off. Much,
hcreforo. depends on tho correct influences with which
hose persons are surrounded; and, in this connection,
illowmc to say again, that a great responsibility" will be
lovolved apon your ministers.
I have heard a great deal said abont controlling the
legro vote, but it is not in an oil naive sense. I myself
lesiro to see that vote, con troll nd, but in tho sumo way
hat I wish to see mv own vote controlled-by iutelli

Suppose you join tho Democratic party, and send your

could raise a hue and cry at once. And if, on the other

I nay, then, if you wish to exercise power, steer clear

.'abbington, lot them say to tho leaders there; "We go

Tile Herald Sensible.
Tbc following editorial from tho New York Her?
ald is sensible :
It is always a delicate subject to touch thc press
or deal arbitrarily with it in times of peace. It ib
thus not perhaps quito free from danger for our
military chiefs in the Southon) States tu interfere
with it. Thus far they have done very well in the
exercise of their now powers. General Sickles es?
pecially ha? acted with a good deal of judgment
and wisdom in many respects, although we do not
altogether like his meddling in that Usg business.
It was rather too small au affair, inasmuch as it
was a mere matter of tasto. Diff?rent pcoplo Uko
different flags ul public processions; some "fleet
rod, sonio black, some blue, BOIIIC mottled and
some is triped. Taste in banners and standards,
like costumes, is of the meillov order. For in?
stance, the Moslems on certain occasions carry a
horse's tail. Occasionally wo lind a pair of uum'eii
tionaules preferred. A woman's rights procession
might most appropriately adopt a petticoat for tho
device on their titandnrd. Gossler, the tyrant of
Switzerland, insisted upon tho p> opie bowing down
to his cap. It is always better to leave these things
to shape themselves.
General Schofield, commanding Virginia, who
is a very ablu man, and has n good deal of sense,
has, we perceive, got into collision with the R cb
mond press. If he would leave thc pr?ts to cor?
rect the pross he would savo himsuli a vast deal
of trouble. The best and most effective answer to
a foolish or violent articlo in a newspaper is a
squib from ano.her paper. It is too paltry a busi?
ness for a distinguished general to try to conduct
any paper. Tho moro violent a journal is, tho
more certain and speedy the reaction. During
tho war tho Richmond papors were full of tbo
grossest abuse of Abraham Lincoln, "thc Yan?
kees," and so forth. When wc gol a batch of them
we alwavs published thc most violent of their arti?
cles, and hail a good laugh at thom for thc next two
daya. Wo nover got angry. Wo took their attacks
in tho best ol humor. Thorefore we advise our
military chieftains in the South-Generals Sickles,
Schofield, Pope, and the rest-not to meddle with
tho pre?s. ' Let the bad taste ot ono paper bo cor?
rected by tho good tasto of another. Thoy will
find this much the best course in the end.
Tile English. Reform lilli-Opinions of the
English ?Tournais.
The Daily Nows considers that, according to thc
maxims of ordinary Parliamentary experience, tho
Ministerial Reform bill ought now to bo safe. But
tho bill satisfies no ono, and since one-half of its
friends support it oecause it is so radical, and the
other half because it's 80 conservativo, it cannot
bo regarded out of danger so long as it is subject
lo discussion.
The Star thinks that it may be for tho ultimate
advantage of reform that a pause has occur, cd in
Parliamentary action. It believes that tho most
dangerous enemies of reform are thoso who oro
most anxious that tho question should bo posi?
tively settled this session, without being justlv and
satisfactorily settled, and it reminds the public
that grave and momentous issues aro yet to lie de?
ciden as regards tho borough franchise. "If the
government means to bo as obstinate os Mr. Dis?
raeli lately said, we shall yet have to deal with
?iortions of that clauso which will compel every
iberal to decido bptwoon accepting a worthless
mensuro and unseating a worthless govorumont."
Tho Times has tome degree of confidence ihat
tho dangers which have besot the bill aro past,
and congratulates the country upon tho prospect
of having a question settled which has boen a
ministerial difficult? for fifteen years. It docs not
protend that he Government hill is perfect. Sonic
of its provisions it holds to bo so objectionable
that a withdrawal or considerable modification of
them n il bc necessary; mt, by discussion in com?
mittee, lia defects may bo supplied and its errors
amended,
lue Standard says that the fruits of Mr. Glad?
stone's leadership are before him, in a serious de?
fection or his folio wei s to tbo ministerial side, and
in the reproach which he has brought against Lib?
eralism by an insincere and factious policy.
Thc Economist declaros that tho bill would have
boon roi ec tod long ago if it had not boen for party
disunion and porsunal pique.
Tho Post is not sorry ai the result of tho divi
sicti, although it would havo profcrrod thc measure
iffciod lasl year, lt regards it idio to speculate on
tho results, and adds that in futuro i.eform
Leagues w ll onlr agitato for manhood suffrage.
Tho Herald boboves that tbo majority of tweuly
DUO makes ?bo passage of tho bill comparativo!.,
certain.
The TolcgTaph contrasts tho policy of tho Gov
jrnmcnt, so tortuous, tricky, and double-tongued,
ivitu that of Mr, Gladstone, so plain and so truth?
ful, and considers tba; a legislativo victory can
2dace from thc pago of history tho sentences in
nrhich hr- .or made a bargain with cunning, nud
:allud it statesmanship. i
The Saturday Itoview says that soon after tho
Ministerial triumph over Mr. Gladstone's opposi?
tion thc bill cannot possibly pass, and that it is .
tuite evidoat that, tatbor than le?v.? thu WU no ?t 1
a, thu Liberal party would uavo housohold suffrage ,
iure aud simple.
Tho Pull .dall Gazette thinks that there exist
)vorwholming reasons for thc rojoction of the b.ll, 1
mt that tho Ilouso of Commons is in au almost .
iciplesa position before Mr. Disraeli, and all of

BISMARCK ASP NAPOLEON.- In an article upon
the threatened troubles in Europe, the New i brk
Tribune savs :
Napoleon knows that Prussia is fully prepared
for war, and that Franco is not ; that the combin?
ed armies ol North mid South Germany, which as
soon as war is declared, are nuder tho cuiof com?
mand of tho King ol l*riiasia,iiunibor about i,;;uo,uu?
men, and that France has to oppose them no uiorc
than 7.'?0,0uU men. Nor is tins all. France is
without allies. .Belgium has refused the offered
alliance ; Holland wishes to be excused from it,
and Switzerland has not replied. England cannot
bei expected to abandon her obstinate ncutrtiity.
Haly will nut march again** Prussia, to whom HUO
owes Venice, for the sake of Um seif-constitutcd
protector ol' Rome. Austria has nut forgotten
Lombardy, and Russia slid Binarts under tho rc
uieiubiancc of Sebastopol.
It is quite different with Prussia. Her relations
with Russia arc known to bo intimate, aud even
loading papers of Vienna have recently urged the
conclusion of au offensive and defensive alliance
between Austria am! Prussia. The publication of
the secret treaties with Bavaria, Wurtcuibiug and
Baden, as wot! as significant hints ot the statesmen
and uilicial organs of Berlin, Fccrsburg and Vien?
na, naturally give rise lo the surmise mat secret
treaties between three CabiuoiS in ?y have been

?3-A YOUNG LADY RETURNLNG TO HER
country home, after a sojourn of a few months in the
city, was hardly recognized by her friends. In place of
a coarse, ?ustlc, flushed face, she had a (?oft ruby com?
plexion of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
tw nty-three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon in?
quiry as to the causo of so great a change, she plainly
told them that she used tho CIRC AS IAN BALM, and
considered it an invaluable acquisition to any lady's toilet.
By Its use any Lady or Gcntlemou can improve their per?
sonal appearance an hundred told. It ls simplo hi Its
combination, as Nature herself is simple yet unsurpass?
ed in ita offioary tn drawing impurities iroru, also beal?
ing, cleansing and beautifying tho skin and complexion.
By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from it all its
impurities, kindly healing tho same, and leaving the sur?
face as Nature intended it should be-clear, soft, smooth
and beautiful. Price $1, sent by Mail or Express, on re?
