The^evolution. AN INTERVIEW WITH JUDGE ORR. 1 - THE COLLUSIONS OF AN OLD STATES? MAN-"THERE'S LIFE IN THE OLD LAND YET"-THE FATE OF THE NE? GRO-FACTS FOR CAPITALISTS AND AGRICULTURISTS - THE POLITICAL PLATFORM -fclANUFACTURING RE? SOURCES-WO?tK FOR OUT* YOUNG MEN -THE OLD AND THE NEW REGIME. A correspondent of. the New York Tribune writing from Anderson, S. C., under date of ?March 17, gives quite nu interesting report of n conversation with Judge Orr, in which that gentle? man appears.?to have set forth his po? litical views , jyith great fullness and precision. After a sketchy account of the Judge's residence, manner of life and person, th? letter proceeds to say : UKE8.AND DISLIKES. In Charlestown and among the low ?xrantry plantera generally, ex-Gov? ernor Orris amobject of cordial dislike. "When a Confed?rate Senator, he dared to anticipate before others, thc probable downfall of tue cause, and tb introduce in Beeret session what was known as the "Peace Resolutions." When Gov? ernor, he was/bold enough to rise in the presence of aipody of Charleston mer? chants, at a public dinner, and utter *tTOths, political and commercial, that made ihem Wince. He had the hardi? hood to affiliate socially with Generals Sickles and Conby, and aid them in the arduous work-bf reorganizing the State. He assumed the responsibility, at which other men shuddered, of recom? mending officially, and on the hustings, that the white people should vote for delegates to the State Constitutional Convention-a Republican body; and finally capped the climax of political iniquity, by permitting himself to bc elected to the office of Circuit Judge by a Republican Legislature. People now say: "All this was right;" "Governor Orr was two ; years in advance of us;" "had wc followed his counsel the con? dition of affairs would have been very different." But still the prejudice is hereditary and strong, and they neither forgive nor forget. I asked the judge how he relished this opposition. " Why, sir," he an? swered, " a public man in South Caro? lina, who thinks for himself, must have a hide like a rhinoceros, and forty years of antagonism have made mine so tough that all the porcupines in Chris? tendom couldn't draw blood ; that is, when I know I'm right." In tlie up country, however, the feel? ing toward him is one of almost uni? versal respect. . Known to be just in his administration of public anuirs, un? tainted by the breath of any corrupting influences, often weighed in the bal? ance and never found wanting, affuble with th? humblest, and personally popular among all classes, the people trust him. They confide in his judg ment. The very fact that he predicted long ago present consequences, and ad? vised the public how to avert them, has moro than ever increased faith in his wisdom, and fixed, as I am impressed, a determination by thousands to adopt his policy. What that policy is, is foreshadowed in the following conver? sation : THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION AN D DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Q. Judge Orr, you have been long affiliated with the Democratic party of the country, and 1 have some curiosity to learn why, so soon after the Phila? delphia convention of 1865, in which you played an important part, you Identified yourself with anti espoused the principles of another party not generally acceptable to your own peo? ple. A. The answer to that question is a simple one. It was generally believed throughout the South that the object of that convention was to restore harmo? nious feeling between tho two sections, and, accordingly, her representative men were selected to confer and act with the Democratic leaders of the North. Results proved, however, that elements of disruption were already at work within the party-that tho West and East were antagonistic' in their views of public policy-and that, in many respects, the South was not in a condition to agree with cither. The effort then made to create a healthy public sentiment toward us signally failed, and, after a mere spasm of cor? diality in the convention, its members separated as diversein their opinions as ever. These bickerings resulted in the election of General Grant and the pre? sent supremacy of the Republican party. Q. But is it your opinion that thc Democratic party will never regain its power ? A. A party called Democratic may eventually succeed, but the old regime is forever dead. The antagonism of so ! many leading members of the party to the war will, since the war lias proved successful, put them in (he same cate? gory in all future popular elections with thc opponents of thc revolutionary Avar, the war of 1K12, and thc war with Mexico. None of thc parties opposing these wars had sufficient vitality to recover from the damaging resit its of their opposition. But the blunders of tho Republican party, already made and which they will continue to make, not moving cautiously iii consequence of their consciousness of strength, will necessarily create a reaction, under the influence of whicn they, too, will be overwhelmed in national politics, as the Jackson party was overwhelmed in 1840 in the contest between Mr. Van Buren and General Harrison, when the election was won not so much by thc popularity of thc Whig principles as by the unpopularity of thc Jackson \ "i if'lim "ni -j . . j * 'i * i f i i ' * I?I and Van Buren administration. High taxes, the consequent stringency of the finances, and official corruption, is the rock upon wl?oh the Republican party will be wrock?d. From tb? debris an? other, party w?l arise composed Of the ?>rogres8?vo men of the country, whose enders will be real j statesmen and economists, and under their adminis? tration the Union will advance in true Sjreatness and solid prosperity. Doubt ess the next census will change the basis of power. More relative streugth will bo given to the South and West, which will result in weakening the influence of the New England States, and transferring the control of tho country to the agricultural sections. Q. Do you think thc country would be better off under a Democratic ad? ministration than it is nt tho present time? A. I can only answer that question with qualifications. In my judgment, the election of General Grant avoided violence and bloodshed throughout the South. Under the administration of Mr. Seymour, efforts would unquestion? ably have been made to overturn exist? ing State governments, even before his inauguration, because the people were stimulated by the delusive repm- "nta tions of nrdont partisans, who believed he could undo the entire work of recon? struction. The truth is, however. Unit hud Mr. Seymour been elected, he would have been as impotent us An? drew. Johnson in every endeavor to render assistance to the South. The majority of the Senate would have been against him for at least two years, and he could not have removed or ap? pointed a postmaster. Thc House was in thc same opposition, and none of tho party would have felt amiably inclined toward one that had defeated their can? didate. ' /GRANT'S ELECTION A BLESSING. lu this viqw. therefore, it was a bless? ing to the Soutn that Grant was elected. Some of the results to us,, politically, may not be agreeable ; some' of the Con Sjressiohal legislation that has followed las been based upon a misapprehension of the real public sentiment of the South ; but the end will prove the wisdom of the election of General Grant. It must be remembered that thc war did not close with the termina? tion of hostilities. It required time to make the people fully realize the fact that they were conquered, and to adapt themselves to thc new situation. The principles for which they had fought were, so to speak, hereditary, and it would be a marvel in history or in human nature for them to have even theoretically submitted to a stronger power at once., '? Q. Suppose, on the theory that thc Southern States were never "out of thc Union, their representatives had been admitted to Congress without the re? strictions which have been imposed by the enactments of that body? what then would have been tho result? A. In my judgment! one-third of the States of the Union would have been hostile to every leading feature of the policy of tlie conquering party. They would not havo sympathized with thc power by which thoy had been defeated. They would not have given universal suffrage to tho negro ; they would not have permitted thc South to be overrun by Irresponsible and, in many instances, corrupt men-mere adventurers, having in view solely their own elevation. In fact, such was the temper of thc people, that they would not nave recognized the rights of qualified suffrage to the colored man at tne time*it was proffered. Of course, at the present time, they would be glad enough to make such a compromise. It is thc knowledge of this fact which accounts for thc per? sistency of Republicanism at the North, and for tho adoption of a plan of recon? struction which would remove tho fangs of the serpent by willoh that sec? tion had been stung. Still, I do not wish to be understood JUS endorsing nil thc peculiar manifestations of that po? litical creed which have been exhibited in thc South, because Republicanism bus gone to extremes here which would never be accepted at the North. A reaction must, necessarily, lake place, and is already in progress. REPUBLICANISM TO PREDOMINATE. Q. But will a true Republicanism gain accessions to its ranks from thc native white men of the South ? A. Moat unquestionably, but it will be a work of time. It ls every day be? coming evident to men of shrewdness and foresight that there is no organiza? tion antagonistic to the Republican party which caa bc successful in South Carolina for the next ten years, and the remark is equally applicable to every Southern State tn which there is a large colored majority. The results of the last three years have satisfied thc people that all the present evils of winch they complain might havo been averted by showing to the colored voters that thoy intended to maintain their new rights. Large numbers of thc best men in South Carolina arc even now willing to espouse Republi? can principles, and would doubtless do so but for thc distrust which, ns gentle? men of character and intelligence, they naturally entertain toward those who, by accidental circumstances, have been placed in the lead of the Republican porty-men who do not, and never did, enjoy public confidence ; men who are ignorant, corrupt, dishonest, and unfit, by reason of their carly associations, for decent society. They were adroit enough, however, to make tho more ignorant among tho negroes believe them tobe their best friends, and by employing all thc arts of the dema? gogue, and an unscrupulous usc bf dis? graceful agencies, they succeeded in being elected to thc most important offices in the State. Tin: COLORED PEOPLE. (?. Is it your belief that the negro eau he controlled? A. It depends upon (lie material you work with, and tho material you work upon. The most ignorant'are the most radical; the most intelligent arc (lie most conservative ; and my ex? perience with them, in the capacity of legislators, satisfies me that as far ns lies in their power they mean to do only that which will redound to tho lill "'" M ? lii^iim^m^ia^mt^mm^M?smtm^m^ best interests of the State. Naturally much of their action has been based upon tho determination to strengthen their . party ; some of their measures, such as legislating a oliy council Into office Ovejrthe head of another connell, perhaps equally Republican in charac? ter ; or such as extending the limits of a city or town in order to embrace more votes, have been extraordinary in their purpose; but even these have found sturdy opponents among tho ince, who will not lend themselves to any policy, however advantageous, that is not fully sustained by precedent or principle. As I said before, the colored people may, for awhile, distrust the profes? sions of white men, but when they see them In earnest, and discover that it is not merely a matter of politics, but of practical benefit to the State, which is involved in a combination of strength, confidence will be restored, and the two races will work together in harmony. Q. Is there u disposition among'the colored people to improve their oppor? tunities ? A. Undoubtedly; large numbers of colored children are attending school, many of their parents, by economy and industry, have acumulated means ; as a class they dress better than before, and there are general evidences of im? provement. There is of course a large class of idlers, lazy men and women, who have no ambition to do more than live from hand to mouth. These prey upon society, and bring their race into disrepute ; but this is un evil which only time can cure. It is the brighter side of the picture which our people are pleasurably contemplating, because they feee in the advancement of this large colored element a corresponding degree of advantage to themselves and the State. "We want intelligent labor. As an agricultural community we must de? pend upon it for success, and, if it can? not be brought from abroad, our policy is to promote all educational influences at home. It is a realization of thc fact that the interests of the two races are common, that each depends upon the other, that the black man is essential to the welfare of the white man, and that both must work together in the busi? ness concerns of life, which has brought men to their senses. We are, in short, becoming progressive. THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Q,. Allow me to ask, Governor, what is likely to bc the operation of the fif? teenth amendment throughout the South ? A. It is my belief that ill a few years Congress will lind that they have put into the hands of the South a two edited sword; that that with which they intended to deprive the white man of power has only doubled it. And should the question of repealing the clause be raised, its strongest oppo? nents will then be those who live south of thc Mason and Dixon's line. So identical will the interests of the two races here eventually become-all local causes of irritation being removed that the South will go into a national contest with nil her armor on, carrying with her the balance of power, and the ability to determine every vexed ques? tion of national polities. Ideas do not always culminate in a day or a genera? tion,* and we can well alford to wait the issue, knowing that mind will at last triumph over muscle, and secure for us as a pcoplo united, without re? spect to color, all the rights to which we are entitled. Tn other words, New England will not always dictate to us from the floor of Congress, and the North generally will not enjoy the blessings of partial legislation, iii this light, looking to the future for results, I think we should be grateful for the fifteenth amendment. THE FATE OK THE NEGRO. Q. I have frequently seen it stated in the public prints thal the negro is dying out, and the fear is expressed that, in the course of time, there may not be enough left to till the crops. But what are your views on this subject? A. lt is one to which I have not given careful attention. Yet my ob? servation of the mortuary records ?f our principal cit ies satisfies liie that the fear expressed is not without foundation. Natural causes, which you will readily understand, are at work to produce this result. Tn old times, under our system, the health of slaves, especially of thc young, was a matter of constant solici? tude. Unless on extraordinary occa? sions, they were neither over-worked nor permitted to lounge in idleness. They were fed on substantial food, com? fortably clad, properly amused, and bad no cares. When ill, the plantation physician was called in, and all lila skill applied to thc business of restora? tion. Thc slave represented money money in himself and money in the current year's crop. Tt wasn't profita? ble to allow him to be sick, ana much less profitable tn let him die. The con? sequence was that, between the year 1801) (when there were only fiO.OOO slaves in the United States) and tho year 1800, the increase was upwards of 4,000,000; and it is a grave question, by the way, what sort of a country wo should have had in fifty years more at the same rate ol' negro growth. His another grave question whether, if Providence intended emancipation to take place at any time, it did not occur auspiciously in 1808. But to re? sume. The condition of tho freedmen is now reversed. With no master, lie bas no sense of responsibility. The more ignorant among the field hands are content to live in squalor anil wretchedness, their children die from lack of proper food and care, and there is unquestionably a diminution in their numbers from natural causes, which in their present situation cannot be con? trolled. This is especially thc case among the negroes fm the' coast ; but the remark does not apply to the intel? ligent colored man anywhere; It is u remarkable fact that the slave increased twenty-three and one-half per cent., and the colored free pcoplo only one per cent, during the ten years preced? ing the war. It' I remember rightly, tho city registrar of Boston reported that during the five years preceding 1800 the number of colored births was one lesa than the number of marriages, and the deaths exceeded the births in the proportion of nearly two to one. In Rhode Island and Connecticut, accord? ing to the registries kept, the yearly deaths of blaoks and mulattoes- have ?enerally exceeded the yearly births, 'hore ls no method of reaching similar results in tbe South, except through tho reports of tho health offi? cers of tlie different cities, but these I show a startling amount of mortality in the race, and invite a question as to its ultimate condition. My own impres? sion is, that in a quarter of a century from the present time, all thc colder regions of tho South, from Virginia to Georgia, will he mainly populated by sturdy white emigrants, oelore whose competing toil the negro will be obliged to give way, and that lie will seek the lowlands as his Anal abiding place. These are but speculations, yet the fate of the red man ls to a very considerable degree typical of the law of nature which has applied to the negro in every State in which he has been compelled to work for his subsis? tence, side by side with the white. The South, however, requires ail her laboring population, and as a people, we deplore any exigency which threat? ens to deprive us of so essential an aid to our prosperity. Hence it is that our liberal-minded men, foreseeing these results, are prepared by wisc and hu? mane regulations for their enlighten? ment and moral and social improve? ment, to make the colored people valua? ble in our agricultural developments, and thus retain them as nn clement of practical strength and usefulness. IMBI IG RATION-ITS IMPORTA NCK TO TI?K SOUTH. Q. The views you have expressed lead naturally to the inquiry whether the people of the South fully appreciate tlie importance of an infusion of more energetic help, of white emigration from Europe and the North, ami what inducements are offered to citizens ol other portions of the world to settle In your midst? A. The inquiry opens a broad field and comprehends much. In general terms, I answer that, viewing the ques? tion of Southern resuscitation in all tte bearing, emigration is an absolute South? ern necessity. Our losses during thc war amounted to thc enormous sum of $7,000,000,000. We have left to us, how over, an immense area of land, a pro? ductive soil, and a geniul climate. Om rccourccs are incalculable, but we need population and capital to develop them. We are satisfied with our present labor. It is insufficient and to some extent un? it rust worthy. To illustrate : Tlie popu? lation of South Carolina is in round numbers say 700,000, nearly cqualh divided between white ami black. Thu would give us but twenty-three person; to the square mile, yet thc territory o the State, under thrifty cultivation may be made to sustain 4,000,000 of per? sons with case. To obtain this popula? tion we must tap the reservoirs of th? world, and to all who come we will ex tend a cordial welcome. Immigr?tioi will induce competition, and in compc tition is our safety. There is no otliei Coercion that can be applied to idle men They must cither work or starve Doubtless we have to encounter mud opposition from tlie West in our cn dcavor to divert the tide of emigration but wc have more to offer in the sliapi of reward than any Western State. Ou products arc nearer the groat market of the world, our soil is far more fertile and tlie emigrant will come to a State al ready settled and possessing the ad van tages of age if not of progress. Tilt same causes which have developet Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa ma; be applied with equal, If not greater success In South Carolina. Wc onl; require a multitude of farmers to ruis* tlie product for which wc have hereto fore paid the North and West, and ii my judgment the owners of large tract of valuable plantation lands will bi glad to dispose of their surplus posses sions, rather than attempt thc cultiva tion of crops on thc gigantic scale whicl belonged to our former system of labor Experiment lias demonstrated, botl here and abroad, the value of sinai farms and diversified industry. W> have about 4,500,000 aeres of land uncle cultivation, only one-fourth ol* the are; of the State. This would throw int* market 45,500 farms of KIO acres each To illustrate by comparison, New Jer sey and South Carolina tire very nearl; equal in population. The value of th" products of the first named State li 1850 was $00,000,00; of South Carolin during the same year only $40,080,000 True, tho capital of one ls largely de voted to manufacturing purposes; tb capital of thc other is employed chicfl; in agriculture ; but you will readily sc that if all the facilities at our command our vast water power and manu fact or ing resources, were developed to th same extent as in New Jersey, we wonh realize a truly golden dream of pros perity. Even under present circura stances, wc shall bc better oil' pectin in rily, in five years, with anything Hld favorable crops, and will have mon actual cash at our command than eve before, in two years we will begin t< Invest our surplus capital in manu fae turcs; hut at present our pcoplo art afraid to invest in anything. The; have money, a largo amount of it, bu it has gone into coin, and is hiddei away. In a little while, as soon a< political allai rs arc settled, and conti dence is restored in tho administratioi ol'State and national affairs, you wll see It come forth and go Into stocks ant bonds. The old evil of extravigancc so fatal to permanent prosperity, liai been effectually cured, anti hereafter at men appreciate thc difficulty of makin; money, they will manage its outlay judiciously. IN CONCLUSION, remarked Judge Orr, the views I have expressed to you this evening, while entertained by a largo number of tin citizens of the State, have never before that I am aware of, been publicly utter? ed. I know what will bc tho resid? when they are published. I shall bc roundly abused for telling thc truth and speaking what, In my judgment is common sense ; but tho soundness t these reflections will, I aili confldcn I be demonstrated in thc future, when passion has subsided, and reason once more assumed sway.
