irr^T TTUff IT_N?TMRER 1259. CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1870. SIX DOLLARS A YEAR. WASHINGTON. THE TEXAS CASE JUT TUE SEXATE. A Hot Debate between Sherman and Trumbull. [FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.] WASHINGTON, March 29. A delegation from thc national banks was before the Committee of Ways and Means to? day, protesting against the seventh article of the Funding bill, which makes a change of bonds compulsory. There were no Southern nominations to? day. The following confirmations took place: Al? len Rutherford, third auditor; Pierman, asses? sor for Florida, vice Wilson; John Haig, of Illi? nois, secretary of legation to Madrid, vice Ho? ratio J. Perry suspended; James M. Mason, (colored, ) of Arkansas, consul-general for Li? beria; Ralph, inspector ol' steamboats for the eighth district. In the House the Election Committee re? ported adversely to Segar as representative at ?farge from Virginia, and it was indefinitely postponed. Thc Pensions bill was postponed two weeks, k at the request of Schenck, who wishes to push P the Tariff through. Logan made a long personal explanation re? garding Sherman's letter on the Army bill re? cently passed through thc House. The Tariff bill was resumed. The House is , in session to-night for discussion only. In the Senate, Botts, of Virginia, asked compensation for property taken before the war. Thc Finance Committee reported that thc in? come tax continues during 1870, but is to bc reduced to three per cent, thereafter. A bill was introduced for preventing and punishing election frauds. Preliminary business to Texas was passed . over by a vote of 29 to 29. Colfax voting af? firmatively. The case of Ames was postponed in lavor of | Texas, and the Judiciary Committee was dis? charged from tug, further consideration of j Texas. The Texas bill then came before thc Senate, and passed with an amendment striking out the clause regarding the sanctity of the terms of original admission, and goes back to tho House for concurrence, by a strict party vote. The Senate went into executive session on the" San Domingo question, but no vote was taken, after which, the Senate adjourned. The proceedings In thc Senate to-day on the Texas bill, were very interesting. Sherman and Trumbull became quite angry. Everything was made to give way.on motion of Sherman, to.Texas,and thc matter was taken from the custody of the Judiciary Committee. Trumbull could see no reason for this. The Georgia bill and thc case of Ames had both been under discussion for several days, and should be disposed of. He did not see why thc senator from Ohio wished to take the Texas bill irom the hands of the Judiciary Committee. Sherman was not to be deterred from his duty from any mere feeling of etiquette. There were important reasons, both political and national, why Texas should be admitted nt once, so that the Fifteenth amendment should be officially promulgated, and this disturbing element should be removed from our midst. He was surprised that the senator from Illinois should seek to obstruct the will of the majori? ty of therSenate, and that majority was anxious that the Texas bill should be taken up.'' Trumbull said he would like to know by what authority the senator from Ohio assumed to speak for the majority of this body. Never since he fiad been in the Senate had such an act of gross discourtesy been perpetrated towards any committee of this body as that perpetrated by the senator from Ohio, after he had assured Mr. Drake and thc Senate that the committee would report upon thc Texas bill as 60on as thc Senate was ready to con? sider lt. Thc majority of thc Senate last week had a consultation, and the Texas matter had been spoken of, but there was no indication then ijcat they desired to discharge thc Judiciary Committ',e from the consideration o? the bill. Has the senator from Ohio been around and consulted thc Senate, that he is Justified in assuming that a ma? jority wanted to lake up the Texas bill ? If that senator had stood by rae, and stood by the Georgia bill, we would have had that amendment proclaimed several days ago. Sherman said that his honorable friend could not draw him into a personal controversy. It seemed to be the bent of his min d to get ex? cited and make personal remarks upon simple questions of order. He denied that he bad offered any insult to the Judiciary Committee. The wish of the majority of the Senate was as clearly apparent to the senator as to him, and he must say that the cours.' of the senator and the committee in resisting the maj? .?ty was most extraordinary. When he remembered that four millions of people were to bc vested with the privilege of citizenship, he could not stop for any petty feeling of eti? quette. After 6omc further desultory discus? sion, Mr. Sherman's motion to postpone the case of General Ames, and all other prior or? ders, was carried by a vote ot 42 to IS. The ques? tion was then taken on the motion of Mr. Sher? man to discharge the Judiciary Committee from the further consideration of the Texas bill, and it was agreed to-yeas 35, nays 15. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. treen, the famous English a;ronaut, is dead, ut?er has telegraphed Gowrnor Senter, inviting him to Washington to testify regarding affairs in Tennessee. General George H. Thomas, of thc United States army, died of apoplexy yesterday in San Francisco. Colonel A. R. Lamar, president of the Southern Press Association, issues a call for a convention at Savannah on the 25th of April. Governor Palmer, of Illinois, declines the vice-presidency of the Cuban League, for the reason, among others, that Jordan, who fought against the Union, is leader. The rope of thc descending appartusof the mines at Shenandoah City broke yesterday, precipitating four men sixty feet to the bottom of the shalt. All were killed. Thc Maryland State Democratic Committee have adopted a resolution that the State regis? try laws should be made to conform to the Fif? teenth amendment. General Pleasanton, who succeeds Bailey, the New York defaulting internal revenue col? lector, has received an undated letter lrom his predecessor, exculpating all of his subordi? nates. -The price realized bv the proprietors the recent sale of the Nene Freie Fresse, liberal Democrat organ of Vienna, was twa and a half millions of florins, or about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold. ANOTHER FIRE IX MARION. [STECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE NEWS.] MARION, Mardi 29. Thc fire fiend is .?till at work. This morn? ing, at half an hour after midnight, a fire was discovered in Moody &. Smith's store. Thc store was entirely consumed, as also was the office of A. Q. McDuffie. Mr. McDutfie's books and papers were saved. Messrs.

The Barn well-Black ville mandam us case has occupied the whole day iu court, Judge Mel? ton presiding. Messrs. Jos. Daniel Pope and Isaac M. Hut son made able arguments m favor of granting the writ. They were answered by C. Davis Melton on thc other side. The arguments in the case will be continued to-morrow. Attorney-General Chamberlain speaking for and Hon. A. P. Aldrich against the mmdainus. Much public interest is felt herc in this case. GOSSIP FROM COLUMBIA. Thc McCuHoch-Brlgnoli-Troupt- Swe clenborgianism - A Suicide- English Sparrows-Migration of Kegrocs from thc Atlantic States Westward-State Convention of Teachers In May-The Barnwell-Blackvillc Case. COLUMBIA, March 2P. Two nights of opera entertainment kept our community the two last days of last week in a livelier flow of interest than usual. Thc visit of the McCullocb-Brignoli troupe was as full a" success as the 6ize of the place and the ab? sence of all scenic aids in the hall they secured rendered oossibie. Indeed, the perso nal pop? ularity of the young prima donna in her native place would have insured thc enthusiastic re? ception she has received, even were her ar? tistic talents left out of count. Rut the whole visit was a success. The troupe left us early Sunday morning for Wilmington, where they appear to-night. Immediately following these operatic enter? tainments, we are having a course of lectures on Swedenborg and his doctrines, by thc Rev. L. H. Tafel. His audience last night was nearly as large as the opera audience the night before. "ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE." A suicide occurred several days ago in tills city. A young woman, a stranger, came to Colombia and took lodgings on a suburban street, and ended her Hie willi a dose of mor? phine 60on after coming to the city. The ver? dict of the coroner's inquest only revealed Hie immediate cause of her death-thc poison. The neighbors .understand, however, that she is another added to the long list ol' the de? ceived and ruined-"one more unfortunate'" who did not choose to survive a shame she could no longer conceal. MIGRATORY SPARROWS. A few English sparrows have made their ap? pearance in this place. They may have made their way from New York City, where they were Imported two or three years ago lo pro? tect the park trees of that city from the rava? ges of the caterpillars and other insects ol like tastes. They are said to be now found in seve? ral parts of Connecticut; and it seems the only reasonable supposition that these found in Columbia came South with the advancing win? ter last year. Three or four have been seen, of which one was caught in a trap. TUE LAHOR QUESTION. The disappearance of negro labor in this State may bc explained by the fact that wc get with some degree of directness* from Chatta? nooga. Tho regular official accounts are said to show that 31,000 negroes have passed through that city cn route for the West since last crop. A large proportion of these are, of course, men, for that clas3 go to labor. THE TEACHERS' CONVENTION. Captain Hugh S. Thompson, of the Columbia Male Academy, has recently issued a call l'or a Convention of Teachers of the State, outside Hie "free common schools." Ile asks all such teach? ers xs favor the measure to communicate by let? ter with bim at once. Mr. Wright, oftheNicker son House, has offered the use of his hall for the convention; and it is expected that rail? roads and hotels will forward and entertain members nt Hie usual reduced rates. The pro? prietor of the Nickcrson House usually re? duces his charges for such persons, and will no doubt do so for th's occasion. THE COURTHOUSE KMHROGI.IO. Tho grand Barnwell-Blackville Courthouse case comes up to-morrow before Judge Melton, and the immense interest felt in Hie subject and the eminent ability retained in the case, conspire to promise an interesting day ol' it. Leslie and Cardozo are said to bc botli a little nervous about it. CORSAIR. THE STATE SUFREME COURT. A Batch of Important Decisions. Thc following decisions are published: Mary Dunn et al, vs. W. C. Dunn et. al. Decree reversed and accounting ordered. Appeal decree tiled with opinion of court. Held, where a trustee under a decretal order settling a wife's separate life estate with remainders over, loaned the trust fund to the husband of Mscestui que trust without security, but laking a mortgage of slaves for his own personal security in thc event that the hus? band should fail to apply thc fund according to the terms of the trust, that he was guilty of a breach of trust. Held, that thc rest ut que trust, covert, was Incapable of consent to such disposi? tion of thc fund, and could maintain her bill for an account against thc trustee. Opiuion by Jus? tice Willard. Kitzsimons vs. Fiizslmons. All the grounds of appeal disallowed except the fifih, ami cause re? manded to ascertain tJje liability of defendants in reference to the Gale bond. Held, when a distrib? utor Hied her bill against thc administratrix for an account, and an account was taken under a consent order, that the administratrix could not be held liable for loss of assets thereafter through casualties occurring without her fault, as it was within the power of thc complainant to put the assets in a state of security through proper ad? ministration orders. That the depreciation of corporation stoeks through the casualties of war wa3 a loss without rault on the part of the ad? ministration. That the Interruption In the administration of equity during the war M no ground Tor charging the administratrix for loss of assets, caused by inevitable acci? dent. That the admlnstratrix is chargable with the amount ot a bond and mortgage discharged by her after thc first accounting, she having re? ceived the nominal amount thereof in depreciated notes of the Confederate Government, there being no debts to bc paid or other ground of necesmty for calling in the amount of" the bonds. w'heh the administratrix kept the funds or thc estate in hand, deposited in a savings Institution In good credit, and accounted for the same by a check on the deposit, passed to her credit in the master's account, and not excep'ed to, that she was not accountable for the subsequent loss of the deposit by thc rallare of the Institution, nor ror sams de? posited subsequently to the date of the account? ing in the same Institution. Opinion by Justice Willard. Baum vs. Stern. Appeal sustained and bill dis? missed. Hehl, when a decree in partition direct? ed the land to be sold, and the share or one of the tenants in common of the proceeds or sale to be applied, in the first instance, to the payment or cerra n ja igments against such tenant in com? mon, according to their prositees. the judgment creditors having Intervened in the suit by peti? tion, and, when subsequently to such decree such tenant in common applied to the District Court in bankruptcy to be discharged as a bankrupt, and snch judgment creditors intervened in thc bankrupt court, and there was an assignment and sale of the right, title and interest of such bankrupt in the parti? tioned land In bankruptcy, that the purchaser took the interest of the bankrupt, charged with thc equities established hythe decree In partition; that thc purchaser could not tile a new bill for the partition of the premises, but should come in by petition under the decree suggesting the changes that had occurred in the several Interests held under the decree; that thc judgment creditors, parties to thc decree in partition, having also be? come parties to the proceedings in bankruptcy, are not entitled to demand that the claim of the purchaser in bankruptcy under the decree in par? tition, shall be confined So the mere interest of such tenant in common, "''ter the satisfaction of their judgments. That the assignee In bankruptcy took thc rights of the baukrupt in the same plight and condition in which he possessed them, also the legal liens or the Intervening judgment credit? ors with power to enforce them, the same being bound nuder the decree lo partition, and that the purchaser succeeded to no greater rights. That proceedings to enforce the lien of a creditor in a State court, pending at the commencement of proceedings in bankruptcy, are not affected there? by, but the creditor may proceed to obtain satis? faction out of his lien, though, as to a personal judgment against his debtor, he is liable to tie affected by the discharge lu bankruptcy. Opin? ions by Justice Willard. Ouignard vs. Outguard. Decree modified, "field, where the answer in direct term3 denies the alle? gations lu the bill, thc denial will be taken as proof, if only contradicted by a single witness. To give tho answer such effect, the allegation BO negatived must have reference to, or some con? nection with, a matter material to the relief sought by the bill. The stringency of the rule al? lowing thc answer to stand as proof, ir contra? dicted by only one witness.has been much relaxed, and the tendency of late has been to assimilate the ruled of evidence'u the Courts of Equity to those which prevail in thc Courts of Law. Circumstances which in thcmselvclves may not be In direct conflict with thc ile nial or the answer, but so inconsistent with it as to sustain and support thc com radlctory wit? ness* will serve to disprove the answer. Where personal property derived by a married woman through a gift rroru her father is sold, and thc proceeds of the sale, with her assent and that of the husband and father are directed tu bc retain? ed by thepurehaser, on the same trust as attached to funds then held by him in trust, she (discovert) will not be allowed to disclaim thc trust a rfd charge the purehascr with a debt due her for such proceeds. Unless, under extraordinary cir? cumstances, the court will not sanction the ap? pointment or substlt, tum of a trustee without security. Opinion by the Ciller Justice. Mayor and wire vs. Mordecai et al. Decree re? versed as to trustee, and assent directed, in other respects confirmed. Held, where a trus? tee is not limited or directed by thc instrument under which he acts, as to Investment ol the trust rund, his discretion mu9t be exercised with the same dlllgeuce lhata prudeut man would bestow on nts own concerns. This, however, would nor. sanction such investments usare never ravorcd or functioned by the court, .although men or prudence, dealing with their own means, might make them-as loans on mere personal security-or stocks of railroad companies, or other private corporations. Thetrustcc ls bound to manage the property for thc benefit of thc cestui gue (rust, with thecare and diligence of a prudent man. Where the trust consi-ted of bonds given In 1S?9, secured by mortgage of real estate, the pro cee ls of which when received, the trustee on con? sultation with thc cestui (jue trust waa to invest, he was not at liberty in it>02 and iv;:; to accept Confederate treasury notes in payinent,and invest them In Confederate State bonds, knowing that tiy reason of their being domiciled In New York they had not thcopportunity or con? sultation as to the investment they might prerer. Much less was ho just Hied in call? ing in the bonds, and accepting such cur? rency in payment and making thc like invest? ment ortho proceeds. A trustee responsible under Hie circumstances ror accepting Coiffcdcraie money in satlsraction of a bond and mortgage, thc obliger so paying to the trustee ls not bound to look to thc application of the money. If, how? ever, such payment was thc result of a fraudulent or wlliul combination, to the prejudice or cestut (?ai trust, or lr knowing of the intended mlsaw aplicatlon or tho proceeds by the trustee, he in any wrongful way conduces to the accomplish? ment of that design, the mortgage will be set up against him. Opinion by thc Chief Justice. JE VltO PH. Thc Iritih Question In the British Par? liament. - LOKRON, March 29. Thc Irish bill, as it passed the Commons, was read the first time to-day in the House ol' Lords. Thc House went into committee and abolish? ed the Land bill amendment to continue cer? tain features of the Ulster custom. It was op? posed by Gladstone and the attorney-general, but was defeated by 269 majority. Subse? quently the amendment legalizing thc custom IQ Ulster was defeated. Minister Motley gave a grand banquet in honor of the Queen of the Netherlands. Among the guests were Dickens, Collier. Hughes, Browning, Fronde, Grote, Mrs. Nor? ton and other celebrities. The Bonaparte Trial-Sentence of the Prince. Tonis, March 29. Bonaparte is sentenced to pay Noir's family tweniy-flve thousaud francs and expenses of the civil suit. The London Times, discussing thc result, says: "Bonaparte should not be trusted with weapons, but be guarded as a madman." PAWS, March 29. Napoleon requests Bonaparte to leave the country. He is coming to America, During tim lecture of Dr. Fardien's, Hie students hissed and insulted him on account of his deposition at Tours, in favor of Bona? parte. Fardiens's was compelled to leave the hall, and the declaration that he would Tresign was received with cheers. Ledru Rollins has arrived in Paris. The police have paid domiciliary visits to ? Louis Noir, Barbeaux, and Charles Hugo. Prosecutions have been begun against the edi? tors of thc Rappel, for articles In regard to the Tours trial. The Late Spanish Doe?. M A MUD, March 29. As a prelude to pardoning Montpensier, Count Jova, who killetl Senor Olozaga a year ago, has been granted Indulgence. Montpen? sier, however, has remained in Madrid since the duel. COLONIZING NORW CAROLINA. Departure of u Company of Settler? from Kew York City. Movements arc making iu various directions to colonize the Southern States with emigrants from the North and from Europe. Maryland and Virginia lind considerable favor, and well directed efforts have been made to colonize thc still milder region of North Carolina. The New York Post says : Among the latter attempts ls a settlement In Hyde County, thirty miles northeast of Wash? ington, N. C., which Iles between ami bor? ders the Pungo and Alligator Rivers, and the ca nalsof thc same names constructed in their neighborhood. The tract purchased by the com? pany comprises 50.000 acres. The land ls sold to colonists ut Uvo dollars au acre, bur, to avoid monopolies, not more than two hundred acres are sold to one person. Twenty-five per cent, or the purchase money ls paid In cash, and thc bal? ance In five years. Thc title has been given by the State of North Carolina. Five thousand acres have thus far been sold to fifty ramilles, whose heads have taken an aver? age or one hundred acres each. They are rrom Brooklyn. Newark, New Haven and New York City. Few are farmers. They comprise mechan? ic-?, storekeepers and clerks. A party of six men went last week to erect a building for the recep? tion of the pioneers, and about twenty-flve more leave this evening in the schooner Hattie Low, rrom pier 39 East River, to aid in the various preparatory operations. No women or children win go at present. Thc company have erected a saw mill, rrom which they furnish lamber to settlers at $12 a thousand feet, and shingles at from $4 to $6 a thousand. It is the Intention or thc company to run the Hattie Low regularly between New York City and thc settlement. The Pungo River is fourni to he the most navigable of the two bord? ering streams. It affords a depth of nine feet at the dock. rTi" 5 staU'ment which has gone the rounds or the English papers that court honors were about bei mr conferred on Mr. Charles Dickens is contradicted. THE REVOLUTION. AX INTERVIEW WITH JUDGE ORR. The Conclusions of an old Statesman "There'* Life in thc Old Land Yet" Thc Pate of the Negro-Facts for Capi? talists nnd Agriculturalists-Tue Po? litical Platform-Manufacturing Re? sources-Work for Young Alen-Thc Old and New Regime. A correspondent of the New York Tribune writing from Anderson, S. C., under date of March 17, gives quite an interesting report of a conversation with Judge Orr. in which that gen? tleman appears to have set forth his political views with great fullness and precision. After a sketchy account of the Judge's residence, mauner of life and person, the letter proceeds to say: LIKES AND DISLIKES. In Charleston and among thc low country plan? ters generally, ex-Governor Orr is an object of cordial dislike. When a Confederate senator, he dared to anticipate before others, the probable downfall or thc cause, and to introduce in secret session what was known as the "Peace Resolu? tions."' When Governor, he was bold enough to rise In thc presence of a body or Charleston mer? chants, at a public dinner, and niter truths, po? litical and commercial, thnt made them wluce. He had the hardihood to affiliate socially with Generals Sickles and Canby, and aid them in the arduous work ot reorganizing the State. He as? sumed the responsibility, at which other men shuddered, or recommending, omclaliy, and on the hustings, that the white people should vote ror delegates to the Stato Constitutional Conven? tion-a Republican body; and Anally capped the climax or political Iniquity, by permitting himself to be elected to thc ornee of Circuit Judge by a Republican Legislature. People now say: "All this was right;" "Governor Orr was two years bi advance of us;" "had we followed lils couusel thc condition of affairs would have been very d?n?rent." Rut still the prejudice-is hereditary and strong, aud they neither forgive nor for? get. I asked thc Judge how he relished this opposi? tion. "Why, slr," he answered, "a public man In South Carolina, who thinks for himself, must have a hide like a rhinoceros, and forty years of antagonism have made miue B? tough'that all thc poftupines In Christendom couldn't draw blued; that is, when I know I'm right." In the up country, however, the reeling toward him ls one ot almost universal respect. Known to be Just in his administration or public affairs, untainted by thc breath of any corrupting in? fluences, often weighed in thc balance and never found wanting, affable, with the humblest, am I personally popular among all classes, the people trust him. They confide In his Judgmeut. Thu very fact that he predicted long ago present con? sequences, and advised the public how to avert I hem, has more than ever Increased raith in lils wisdom, and Axed, as 1 am Impressed, a dolerin I natien by thousands to adopt his policy. What that policy ls, is foreshadowed ia the following CM i ve rsa til i u : THE fUILAUELPUIA CONVENTION AND DEMOCRATIC . TARTY. q. Judge Orr, you have been long affiliated wita the Democratic party of the country, and l have some curiosity to learn why. so soon after the Philadelphia convention of 1SC">, lu which you played an important part, yon Idem Hied yourself willi and espoused thc principles or another parly not generally acceptable to your own peo? ple. . A. Thc answer to thnt question is a simple one. It was generally'believed throughout tne South that Hie object ot that convention was to restore harmonious reeling between the two sections, aud accordingly her representative men were selected to confer and act with the Democratic leaders of the North. Results proved, however. I that elements or disruption were already at work within thc party; that thc West and Hast were antagonistic In their views or public pulley, and thal lu many respects thc Soutn was not in a condition to agree with either. The ei.ort then made to ?reate a healthy public sentiment toward us signally railed, and arter a mere spasm or cor? diality In thc convention, its members separated as diverse In their opinions as ever. These bicker? ings resulted In the election of General Grant, and the present supremacy of thc Rcpublicau party. Q. Hut ls it your opinion that tn Democratic party will never regain Its power? A. A party called Democratic mav eventually succeed, but thc old regime ls forever dead. The antagonism or so many leading members or the party io the war will, since the war bru proved successful, put them In the same category In all future popular elections with the opponents ot the Revolutionary war, the war or 1812, and the war wlih Mexico. None of the parties opposing these wars hail sufficient vitality to recover from the ?aging results of their opposition. Hut thc tiers of the Republican party, already made and which they will continue to make, not mov? ing cautiously in consequence or their conscious ness or strength, will necessarily create a reaction, untler the influence or which they, too, will be over? whelmed In national politics, as the Jackson party was overwhelmed In 1810 In the contest between Mr. Van Buren u d Gen. Harrison, when the elec? tion was won not so much by thc popularity or Whig principles as by thc unpopularity of i he Jack? son and Van Buren administration. High taxes,the consequent stringency or thc tl minces, and oillcfal corruption, ls thc rock upon which thc Republi? can party will be wrecked. Prom the debris another partv will arise composed ol the pro? gressive men Of the country, whose leaders will bc real statesmen and economists, and untler their administration thc Union will advance In true greatness and solid prosperity. Doubtless the next census will change the basis or power. More relative strength will be given to the South and West, which will result In weakening thc influence of thc New England States, and trans? ferring the control of thc country to the agricul? tural sections. O,. Do you think the country would be better on* under a Democratic administration than lt ls at the present time? A. 1 can only answer that question with quali? fications. In my judgment the election or (?ene ral Grant avoided violence and bloodshed through outthe South. Cutler the administration ot Mr. Seymour, efforts would unquestionably have been made to overturn existing State governments, even before his inauguration, because thc people were stimulated by Hie delusive representations of ardent partisans, who believed he could undo the entire work or reconstruction. The truth ls, however, thai had Mr. Seymour been elected he would have been as impotent as Andrew John? son, In every endeavor to rentier assistance to Hie South. The majority or the Senate would have been against him ror at least two years, and he rnuid nm have removed or appointed a post niusier. The Douse was in the sume opposition, and none of the party would have reit amiably ? inclined toward one that had defeated their can? didate. GRANT'S ELECTION A BLESSINO. In this view, therefore, lt was a blessing to thc South that General Grant was elected. Some or the results to us, politically, may not be agreea? ble; some or the Congressional legislation that has followed has been based upon a misapprehen? sion or the re l public sentiment or the South: but the end will prove the wisdom or thc election or General Grnnt. lt must be remembered that the war did not close with thc termination or hostili? ties. It required time to make the people folly realize the fact that they were conquered, and- io adapt iliemselvcs to the new situation. Tho prin? ciples for which they had fought were, so lo speak, hereditary, and lt would bc a marvel In history or in human nature for them to have even theoreti? cally submitted to*strongcr power at once. TUE TEMPER OK TUE PEOPLE. Q. Suppose, on the theory that thc Southern States were never out of the Union, their repre? sentatives had been admitted to Congress with? out thc restrictions which haye been Imposed by thc enactments or ihat body, what then would have been thc result ? A. In my judgment, one-third or the States or the Union would have been hostile lo every lead? ing feature of the policy of the conquering party. They would not have sympathized with the pow? er by which they hail been defeated. They would not have given universal suffrage to the negro; they would not have permitted thc South to be overrun by irresponsible, aud in many In? stances corrupt men-mere adventurers, having in view solely their own elevation. In fact, such was Ute temper of thc people, that they would not have recognized the rights of qualified suffrage to thc coiored man at the time it was proffered. Of course, at thc present time, they would be glad chough to make such a compromise. It is the knowledge of this fact which accounts for the persistency of Republicanism at Hie North, and for thJ adoption of a plan of reconstruction which would remove the fangs of the serpent by which that section had been stung. Still, I do not wish to be understood as endorsing ali the pecu? liar manifestations of that political creed which have been exhibited in the South; because Re? publicanism has gone to extremes here which would never be accepted at the North. A reac? tion must necessarily take place, and is already in progress. BEPCBI.ICAKI.OK TO PREDOMINATE. Q. But will a true Republicanism gain acces? sions to Its ranks from the native white men of the South ? A. Most unquestionably, but it will be a work of time. It ls every day becoming evident to men or shrewdness and foresight that there ls no organization antagnuistlc to the Republican party which can be successfol In South Carolina for the next ten years, and the remark ls pqmiily applicable to every Southern state In which lhere ls a large colored majority. The results of the last three years have satined the people that all the present evils of which they complain rr I have hcen averted hy showing to the col I voters that they intended to maintain their rights. Large numbers or the best men In S Carolina are even now ?willing to espouse Re I Hean principles, and would doubtless do so for the distrust which, aa gentlemen of chan and Intelligence, they naturally entertain toi those who, by accidental circumstances, been placed in the lead of the Republican pal men who do not, and never did, enjoy public fldence; men who are ignorant, corrupt, dis est, and unfit, by reason of their early asst tiona, for decent society. They were at enough, however, to mate the more igno among the negroes believe them to be their friends, and by employing all the arts of the t abogue, and an unscrupulous use or dlsgrac agencies, they succeeded in being eleoted to most Important onces in the State. TUE COLORED PEOPLE. Q. Is lt your belier that the negro can be trolled f A. It depends upon the material you wael- v and the material you work upon. The mos norant are the most radical; the most intern? are thc most conservative; and my experli with them, In the capacity or legislators, salli me that as far as lies in their power they rr to do only that which will redoind to the Interests of the State. Naturally, much of t action has been based npon the detcrminatio . strengthen their party; some of their measu such as legislating a city council Into office < thc head or another council, perhaps equally publican In character; or such as extending limits or a city or town in order to embrace n votes, have been extraordinary In their purp but even these have round sturdy oppom among the race, who will not lend themselve any policy, however advantageous, that ls fully sustained by precedent or principle. . said before, the colored people may. for a wi distrust thc professions of white men, but w they sec them in earnest, and discover that not merely a matter or politics, but or Bract benefit to the State, which ls Involved In a con nation or strength, confidence will be restoi and the two races will work together in 1 niony. c>. ls there a disposition among the colored r pie to Improve their opportunities ? A. Undoubtedly ; large numbers or colored c dren are attending school, many or their parei by economy and Industry, have acumula means; as a class they dress better than bef< and there are general evidences or iinproveme There is or course a large class or Idlers, lazy n and women, who have no ambition to do m than live from hand to mouth. These prey ut society, and bring their race Into disrepute; "i this is an evil which only time can cure, lt thc brighter side of the picture which our peo arc pleasurably contemplating, because they the advancement of this large colored eic men corresponding degree cn* advantage to themsel and thc S ate. We want intelligent labor, an agricultural community we must depend u[ lt lor success, and, ir lt cannot be brought rr abroad, our policy ls to promote all educatlo Influences at home. It ls a realization of the f that the Interests of thc two races are comm that each depends upon the ether, that the blt man ls essential to the welfare or the white mu and that both must work together In thc busim concerns nr lire, which has Drought men to th senses. We ore, in short, becoming progressi THE K1KTEENTU AMENDMENT. *Q. Allow rae to ask, Governor, what ls lWcely bc the operation or the Fifteenth amendmt throughout the South ? A. lt ls mj belief that in a few years Congr? will Und that they have put Into thc bauds of I South a two-edged sword; that that with wlii they Intended to deprive the white man of po? has only doubled ir. And should thc question repealing the clause be raised, its strongest op| neats will then be those who live south of Mas ann Dixon's line. So identical will thc in tere: of thc two races here eventually become-all loi causes or irritation being removed-that t South will gu Into a national contest with all 1 armor un, carrying with her the balance or pow and the ability to determine every vexed qm tlon ot national politics. Ideas do not always c minare In a day or a generation, and we eau w alford to await thc Issue, knowing that mind w at last triumph over inusele, and secure for us a people united, without respect to color, all t rights to which we are entitled. In other wore New England will not always dictate to us Ire thc floor or Congress, and the North genera will not enjoy the blessings or partial legislate In this light, looking to tuc future for results think wc should be grateful for the Fifteen amendment. TUE KATE OF TUE NEORO. Q. I have frequently seen lt stated In the pub prints that the negro ls dying out, and thefear expressed that lu the course of time there mi not be enough left to till thc crops, but what u your views on this kubjeot? A. It is one to which I have not given carel attention. Yet my observation or the merina records or our principal cities satisfies me th thc fear expressed ls not without foundatio Natural causes which you will reudlly uudcrstai nre at work to produce this result, lu old time uuder our system, the health of slaves, especial of the young, was a maitur of constant sollt lude. Uuleas on extraordinary occasions, tin were neither overworked nor permitted to louui in Idleness. They were red on substantial foo j comfortably clad, properly amused, and had i cares. When III, the plantation physician wi called In, and all lils skill applied to the buslnc of restoration. Thc slave represented money money In himscir and money In the curre year's crop. It wasn't profitable to allo him to bc sick, and much less profitai: to let him die. Thc consequence wa?, th between thc year 18U0-when there were on 50,000 slaves in thc United States-ai thc year isoo, tho Increase was upward or roi millions, and lt ls a grave question, by the wa what sort or a country wc should have had in fit years more ut-the same rate or negro growth, is another grave question whether, il Providern Intended emancipation to take place at any tim lt did not occur auspiciously lu 1S63. But to r sume. Thc condition ot the freedman ls now r versed. With no master, he has no sense of r Bponsiblllty. The more Ignorant among the fie hands arc content to live lu squalor and wretc cd II ess, their children die from lack of proper foe and care, and lhere ls unquestionably a dlmlni lion In their numbers from natural causes, whic tn their present situation cannot be coutrollei This ls especially thc case among thc negroes u tbc coast; but the remark-does not apply to ttl lntclllgeut colored mau anywhere, lt ts a n markable fact that the slave Increased 23j? pt cent., and thc colored free people only l per cern during the len years preceding the war. Il 1 ri 1 member rightly, thc city registrar of Boston rt ported that during thc live years preceding 185 thc number of colored births was one less ilia the number or marriages, and the death exceeded the births In Ute proportion ur near! two tu one. lu Rhode Islaud and Connel tient, nccordlng to the registries kept, the yearl deaths or blacks and mulattoes have generali exceeded thc yearly births. There ls nu mcthoi ul reaching similar results In the South, excel through thc reports or the health officers or tin dur?rent cities, but these show a .startling amoun ot mort ?illly In the race, and Invite a question a to Its ultimate condition. My own impression ls that in a quarter or i. century rrom the presen time, all the colder regions or the South, rrun Virginia to Gcurglu, will bc mainly populated b, sturdy white emigrants, before whose corapetlni toll thc negro will be obliged to give way, am that he will seek the lowlands as lils final ahldlm place. These are but speculations, yet the ran ur thc red man ls to a very considerable dcgrei typical or the law or nature which has applied ti the negro In every State In which he has beei compelled to wurk for his subsistence, Side b] side with thu white. The South, however, re quires all her laboring population, and as a pco pie, rc deplore any exigency which threatens tc deprive us ol so essential an aid to our prosperity Henee lt ls that our liberal-minded men, roresee lng these results, are prepared by wise and hu mane regulations for their cnflghtentneut and moral and social Improvement, to make thc cul uren people valuable in our agricultural develop ment?*, and thus retain them as au element ul practical strength and usent In ess. IMMIGRATION'-ITS IMPORTANCE TO TUE SOL'TO. The views you have expressed lead naturally to Hie Inquiry whether thc people of the South nilly appreciate the Importance uf an iufusion of more energetic help, of while emigration from Europe and the North, and what inducements are offered to citizens uf other purtiuus uf the world to settle In your midst? A. The Inquiry opens a broad field and compre? hends much. In general terms, 1 answer that, viewing the question of Southern resuscitation in all its bearing, emigration is au absulute Southern necessity. Our losses during the war amounted to the enormous sum of seven billions of dollars. We have left to in, however, an Im? mense area or land, a productive soil, and a ge? nial climate. Our resources are Incalculable, but we need population and capital to develop them. We are not satisfied with our present labor. It is insufficient and to some extent untrustworthy. To Illustrate : The population ul South Carolina ls In round numbers say 700,000, nearly equally divided between white aid -black. This would give us but 23 persons to the square mile, yet the territory or the State, under thrirty culti? vation, may be made to sustain Tour millions or persons with ease. To obtain this pop? ulation we must tap the reservoirs or the world, and to all who come we will extend a cor? dial welcome. Immigration will Induce compe? tition and in competition ia our sarety. There is no other coercion that can be applied to Idle men. Thoy must either work or starve. Doubtless we have to encounter much opposition from the West in our endeavor to divert the tide of emigration, but we have more to offer in the shape of reward than anv Western State. Our products are near? er the great markets or thc w?rld, our soil ls rar more fertile, and the emigrant will come to a State already settled and possessing the advantages of age ir not or progress. The same causes which have developed Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa, may be applied with equal, ir not greater success In South Carolina. We only require a multitude of fanners to raise the product for which we have heretofore paid the North and West, and in my judgment the owners of large tracts of valuable plantation lands will be glad to dispose of tbelr surplus possessions, rattier than attempt the cultivation of crops on the gigantic scale which belonged to our ronner system of labor. Experiment has demonstrated, both here and abroad, the value of small farms and diversified Industry. We have about 4,500.900 acres of land under cultivation, only one-rourth of the area of the State. This would throw Into market 45,500 farms of 100 acres each. To Illustrate by comparison, New Jersey and South Carolina arc very nearly equal in popu? lation. The value or the prod nets or the first named State in 1860 was $60,900,000; of South Carolina during the same year only $19,980,000. True, the capital or one ls largely devoted to manufacturing purposes; the capital or the other ls employed chiefly In agriculture: but you will readily see that if all the facilities at our command, our vast waler power and manufacturing resources, were developed to the same extent as in New Jersey, we would realize a truly golden dream or pros? perity. Even under present circumstances, we shall be better off pecuniarily, In Ave years, with anything like ravorable crops, and will have more actual cash at our com? mand than ever before. In two years we will begin to invest our surplus capital In manu? factures; but at present eur people are afraid to Invest in anything. They have money, a large amount of it, but it has gone into coln, and t* hidden away. In a little while, as soon as polltl- | cal affairs are settled, and confidence ls restored in thc administration of State and national affairs, you will see lt come forth and go into stocks and bonds. The old evil of extravagance, so fatal to permanent prosperity, has been effectually cured, and hereafter as men appreciate the diffi? culty or making money, they will manage Its out? lay Judiciously. IN CONCLUSION, remarked Judge Orr, the vlewB I have expressed*, to you this evening, while entertained by a large number of the citizens or the State, have never before, that I am aware or, been publicly uttered. I know what will he the result when they are pub? lished. I shall be roundly abused for telling the truth and speaking what, in my Judgment, ls common sense; but the soundness of these reflec? tions will, I am confident, bc demonstrated in the future, when passion has subsided, and reason once more assumed sway. .YOItEION MISCELLANY. -A St. Petersburg danseuse has been fined eighty rubles "lor gestures out of all bounds." -The anti-military agitation ls extending in the States of South Germany. -Pere Hyacinthe, secularized, is now known as Abbe Loyson. -In the ukases which the Russian official journals publish, the Emperor's name is follow? ed by fifty-two titles. -The wife of O'Donovan Rossa commenced a series of public readings at Limerick lately. Her elocution is pronounced very fine. The enthusiasm ot her audience was exuberant. -Receipts ol' wheat this year irom the Uni? ted States, received In England, aggregate 3,500,000 qnarters more than for any previous year. -There is likely to be a large emigration of Cornish miners to America this spring. The mining Interest in Cornwall has been greatly depressed of late years. -The Irish papers announce that the Hon.

The teaching ls to be by what is known as thc Galiss method. Th? effect of this, we suppose, will be that the rough old songs used in manning the capstan will give place to the choruses of modern opera. -The Israelites in Roumanla are still per? secuted by the authori:l being forbidden to exercise many trades, and being quite recent? ly excluded from attending public auctions.
