COLUMBIA, s. g ?aturday Horning, August 20,1870. Jadge Orr'? Views. Our readers have had tho opportunity to form their own opinion as to tho political couree recommended to the white people of South Carolina by Judge Or/. Circumstances have thus far restricted our comments thereupon, to a few lines of emphatio dissent. Our purpose now is not to review all the extraordinary statements and speculations of the Judge, but briefly to expose his fallacies, and to suggest the insufficiency of his Btudied plea. Judge Orr "will voto for Scott and Ransi?r." This is the propo position that he commences with, and causes to stand out in bold relief. Well, so much the worse for him, that he pro? poses so to do, when the better ticket of Carpenter and Butler stands before him. In the seoond place, Judge Orr objects to the reform movement, not because it is wrong in principle, not because it is uncalled-for by the exigences of the case, but because, in his own judgment, it j does not promise success. Here Judge Orr betrays his great woakness-his utter- unreliability to be the trusted adviser of an honorable, high-toned community. Assume,, that success is not promised. Is all to be. sacrificed for success, either in political affairs or out? side of them? Are not some kinds of victory more disastrohs than defeat? Does Judge Orr.thus propose to corrupt the youth and the manhood of the State, by suggesting that success is to bo orite rion ever of merit, and the rr.easure of political aotion? Is he prepp.red to say, "My fellow-citizens, be successful-by fair means, if possible; but by means fair or foul, be SUCCESSFUL." This is monstrous in ethics-oven in political ethics-and yet this is virtually tho ethics of Orr and his school of politi? cians. Their's .is Bacon's "philosophy of fruit," and Bacon's philosophy, too, not in its best aspect. And yet Bacon has been called "wisest, brightest and meanest of mankind." Let Judge Orr remember that every virtuous effort is a success-every vicious oue a disaster. But we deny that the reform movement is wanting in the possibilities and oppor? tunities of i success. And we contend that the method it proposos of reform, is far more plausible aud practical than that suggested by Jndgo Orr. We pro? pose now to turn his argument of figures upon him. It is stated by the radicals that the negro voters of the State stood to the white voters as 87,000 to 03,000. Assume these numbers to bo correct. Judge Orr says, suppose 100 good men in every County, instead of undertaking to oppose tho radical party, had gone into it, to purify and control it. Well, assume they had. The result would have been 3,000 saints seekiug to influence 87,000 sinners. We would not give much for the ohaucp of success here, Outside of the fact that "evil communi? cations corrupt good manners," we fear that the sinners would go on steadily in their preconceived plan of operations. Wo deem it muob more suggestive of success for the 63,000 whites to take a reasonable attitude, and by fair, open and manly appeals, seek to control tho political aotion of 18,000 radical voters. This is the plan of the reformists, and it is a better plan than that of Judge Orr. Judge Orr should certainly apply at once for letters patent, in order to secure for himself the exclusive right and use of his wonderful, and new, and original method of political action I Join your opponents in order to boat them! Join radicalism in order to control it ! Plunge into its turbid waters, seething with corruption, in order to purify thom] This is Governor Orr's method of saving South Carolina. Heaven save us from such Stato-saving as this. Heaven save na from such a political course as Go? vernor Orr would have South Carolina to adopt, in order that his inexcusable course may thus be sanctioned. In his letter he has not a little to say as to the identity between tho reform and the radical organizations, and suggests to the Democrats of tho State how oasy it is to step from tho ono to the other. Wo have already had a good deal to say to disprove this identity. Let us say to Judge Orr, that a wide river rolls between reform and radicalism, aud ho who passes it should panse, as C:esar did upon tho banks of tho Ilubicou, for ho will bo "froo no more." Judge Orr's defection has not como upon us unex? pected. Still it was received by us with pain. We must regard his political attitude us un wiso and inconsistent with tho good of tho State, and justified by no arguments contained in his lotter of explanation. Wo consider him as having turned his back upon his State and follow? ing after false gods. Wo notice that the radical organ receives him with open arms and takes him to its sympathetic bosom. Orr is now a great, good mon, for bas he not put on the garments of "the loyal?" And we noUoe further, that tho radical organ afflrms^that Judge Orr, having a wide influence, especially in the upper country, will carry with him an army of recruits to ewell tho hosts of radicalism. Here the organ will find itself grievously disappointed. It in? sults the intelligence and the integrity of thoso people when it thus argues. All radicalism may sneeze whon the Head Centre takes snuff-all radicalism might vote for a donkey, provided he were the regular nominee of the sacred league. But not so is it with tho true and inde? pendent people of the up-country, to whom - the organ refers. Thoy will not follow Governor Orr in his dofection. They have in tho past loaded him with honors. They have decked him with laurels. They have made him United States Representative and United States Senator, and Colonel of a Confederate regimont aud Governor of tho State. But because they have done all this, and yet finds that these could not keep him truo to them in their evil fortunes, they will now turn away from him and realize with greater foroo tho extent of his offence, and the magnitude of the wrong done to them. They may still regard him the kind and genial neighbor, suchas, doubt? less, he will continue to bc They may still hold him the able and impartial Judge, for this we havo no reason to deny to him. But they will reject with scorn his political advice, under the conviction that in this respect, nuder tho influence of ambition or ? some less cx n.Iced feeling, the cause of tho STATE has been subordinated to tho cause of Omi. "What we havo written with respect to Judge Orr, we have written reluctantly, but ireely as is meet. An audacious lotter demands bold criticism. We could not allow Judge Orr's views to go un? challenged, for we shared in tho defcr euce once due to his great ability, linked, ns we thought, with earnest devotion to the commonwealth. Weoan think HO no longor, and wo must hold Judge Orr as wo hold the rest of thoso arrayed, as we believe, against the best interests of South Carolina. Several months have elapsed sinco the discomfiture and death of .?h o Paraguay? an President, Lopez, during whioh time ho has been calumniated by his victors as a monster of iniquity, when at last, an American resident of Asuncion comos to his rescue, repelling many of the slan? ders with which he has been so liberally assailed. According to this correspond? ent, Lopez was a bravo and gallant sol? dier, exercising a rule as mild and intel? ligent us the circumstances surrounding him would admit of. He positively de? nies thc ill trcatmeut alleged against Lopez's mother and sisters, who, it will be recollected, according toBraziliau ac? counts, were to have been executed on the moruiug of his capture, and says that most of the people supposed to have been shot, flogged, or lanced to death by the late President, aro daily turuing up alive, claiming property ami indemnity. All these murderous charges mado against tho dead boro seem to have been manufactured out of tho whole cloth by his enemies for political effect. At tho time of his capture his forces had dwindled to only two hundred and fifty men, at whose head he died gallantly iu action, and not in an endeavor to escapo, as reported. CARPENTER'S BEST.-Tho following capital hit was made by Judge Carpen? ter, while speaking in front of the Co? lumbia Hotel, at an impromptu meeting on Tuesday night last. It has been the custom of many of thc radicals to inter? rupt the Judge by asking impertinent, aud often insulting questions, but the Judge is never at a loss for a quick and cnttiug reply, nnd seldom fails to cause the intruder to hide his diminished head uuder a shout of derisive laughter from the audience. On the night alluded to, a wissen-faced, stiff-eollared, official look? ing fellow interrupted tho Judge, by asking him "if he (tho Judge) did not expect to seouro a largo practice in his profession, from thisTcampaign, after ho was defeated for Governor?" To which tho Judgo roplied: "Well, I don't expect to bo defeated, but if I nm, I shall go to practicing law agaiu; and I expect the first case I shall have will be to defend 3'ou or some other of tho pre? sent officials of the State iu ft case for stealing." Tho fellow wilted/ and the crowd, white and colored, roared.

ACT-Gov.- Bc OTT LIABLE TO INDICTMENT.-The Act of the General Assembly, "approved March l?, 1869," has Jibeen violated io letter and spirit by Gov. Sobtt"and he is liable to indict* ment and punishment. The Act io top long-to quote in full, but will be found at page 215? statutes at large, regular 0 es H ion, 1868-?9. The Act prescribes that "AU persons liable to military duty within this State, who are jnot already, members of tho National Guard, shall immediately, upon the passage of this Act, be enrolled. All porsons between the ages of eighteen and forty-five shall be enrolled." This duty is imposed-upon the Go? vernor as Commander-in-Chief. Eight? een months havo passed pince Gov. Soott put his namo officially to this Act and made it a law. Ho has faillcd to obey this law and carry it into oporntion. Herein he has violated the law by fla? grant omission. Section 12 provides, "That if any officer charged with any duty under the provisions of this Act, shall refuso or neglect to perform any of tho duties re? quired of him by this Act, he shall for? feit and pay, &o., Ac, and bo guilty of a misdemeanor." Gov. Scott is 'an officer of tho militia, and liable to thc penalties of this Act. Section 14 provides that "There shall bo no military organization, eco, kc, not authorized under this Act." The military organizations recently made by Govornor Scott aro not au? thorized under the law. The parties are liable "to punishment by imprisonment at hard labor in the Stato Penitentiary,'? and Governor Scott is participes criminis in these organizations. There is no shadow of provision for tho separate organizatiou of tho colored militia. It is au assumption of power for which Govornor Scott should bc im? peached and broken. Tho responsibility of whatever may happen is upon his Ex? cellency. If breaches of the peace occur, and blood aud disorder follow, the responsibility is ou tho chief peaco officer of the State. There aro no lawful mili? tary organizations in South Carolina, dating subsequent to March 1G, I860. [Laurensville Herald. Judge Carpenter referred to this matter iu his address, iu Sidney Park, 1 on tho 16th. I One of tho Paris correspondents states that tho . plan of tho French campaign was laid down by tho Emperor, and was not communicated to the chiefs of tho corps until his arrival at Metz. This story, which was a rumor when writteu, seems confirmed by subsequent events. Evidently it was not the plan of any of the French Marshals familiar with tho great Napoleon's maxims, in one of which stress is laid on tho danger of con? centrating too near tho enemy's posi? tion. Tho French lino on the frontier oxtendod ovor fifty milos of territory, and corps were in several instances sepa? rated by a full day's march. This was a faulty disposition of hisVorccs, which would have invited attack from a less enterprising foo than tho Prussians. Tho city has moro Southern visitors at this moment thau at nuy timo since thc restoration of peace. Some of our largest hotels are literally crowded with them. They seem intent upon blending pleasure with business, and not nt all unwilling to talk, and act, and enjoy themselves generally as though they had never smarted uuder tho procoss of re? construction. Their presence indicates tho return of prosperity to thc South, gradual it may be, and beset with vexatious recollections, but having all the signs of health and durability. They will go back, we aro sure, impressed with u conviction that New York is, in tho largest sense, metropolitan, and that thc poople they moot hero aro as hearty and kind as in the olden days. [New York Times. Boston, in gratifying tho popular thirst for lecturing notabilities, recently despatched au agout to Europa to hunt up Kossuth. Ho was found domiciled in a little room over a wino shop, in the outskirts af Turin, entirely broken down, dispirited aud disheartened. Being now over sixty years of age, ho announced himself as having retired from thc world, and ns taking little or no interest in public affairs. Ho of course doclined the enterprising Yankee's offer, though confessing himself poor ouough in purse to have mado it au ob? ject. Thus slowly fades away auothcr of tho great lights of history. A correspondent among tho lnkcs of Maino writes that he asked a boy which was the best of several small lakes for fishing. The boy answered: "Lako Pis saquattisaquapassamoquiddynixcum " At this point, tho correspondent walked away, reached a neighboring lake, fished thre'o hours, and returned. On his way homo, ho mot tho boy where ho had left him, still looking ou tho ground, and just finishing tho name-"oloosikuhu genisuuggi." Tho writer dates his letter at "Lake Munkatuukoobogsqnroitakoo loontaic." LOSS OE A Sl'LEKDID HoitSE.-Col. Thomas G. Bacon, of Edgefiold; S. C., hus lost a splcudid horse nt Long Branch -Lynchburg-one of thc most promis? ing horses upon tho American turf. In a raco of threo milo heats, while run? ning in tho second, heat, Lynchburg, from some imperfection in tho track, broke his shouldor. Ho had won the first heat, and was in tho lead when tho terrible accident huppeneerto him. A bachelor on Twenty-seventh street had tho blues, and applied to a doctor for some medicine. Tho doctor inquired into his ease, and wroto a prescription in Latin, which tho bachelor took to a drug store. Translated, the proscription read, "Seventeen yards of silk, with a woman in it." After tho druggist got through laughing, the bachelor proposed to a lady that ovening, and was morned in two weeks. ..SITUATIONS" WANTED.-Who hos at? tempted to cstimnto tho cumber of yoong men lounging in country towns, or pa? tiently awaiting in the "rural districts" the result of tho inquiries of friends for "situations" whion may introduce them to city life and occupation? They wish to stand behind counters, toke clerk? ships, or do anything that may en ubi o them to earn a present support, aud that oarries with it even a remote chance for ene of tho few prizes that reward tho labors, hazards and harassments of mer? cantile pursuits. A very large propor? tion of thoso young waiters on fortuno aro disappointed in the start, and too often form habits of idleness and dissi? pation while expecting that something will turn up for them, and many more, wh"o succeed in making a first step, soon fall back on their frionds, dishenrtencd and disappointed, when they seo how little tho realities they encounter un swor to the^ anticipations which lured them. There is no portion of the community which should command greater iuterest than thoso young meu. They are for the most part the sons of worthy parents, who have done all they eau do for them. They are mainly, no doubt, of good prin? ciples, and havo ii sincere intention and desire to bo properly occupied. They havo tho natural eagerness and hopeful? ness of youth prompting them to gene? rous effort. Those who fail to get such employmont as they at first seek, if they will in tho meautimo become inured in a. measure to out-door labor, with the kuowledgo of it gained, will have learned that there is not so much hardship as they supposed, but a great deal of inte? rest and satisfaction in work in thc couutrj*, where there are any number of .'situations" waiting to bo filled. It is too lato in the day, we should suppose, to fear the influence of a false shume, and a fear of degradation iu takiug hold manfully of the work of the farm. There uro so many wholesome examples, especially since tho close of our late war, of young men of the high? est social position settling down to the sober duties of farm life, with coats off and bauds ungloved for the roughest labors, that wo think so unworthy an idea must have passed altogether away. lu this counection, however, we may commend to the consideration of 3-ouug men a practico which prevails in some European countries, aud especially iu Prussia. A Taris correspondent of au Engljsh journal, Land and Water, speaks of a contribution of M. Emile de Lave leye to tho Revue des Deux Mondes, in which an interesting account is givpn of the progresa mude by Prussia during the fifty years of peace. "Nearly all the land-holders," he says, "cultivate their own estates. They are, therefore, re? tained in the country by the care of their own interests. It is true they are aided iby a class of employees who are not found in auyiother country. These are educated young men, belonging to fami? lies in good position, often just leaving au agricultural college, who remain for a certain.time on some largo estate to initiate themselves in the practical di? rection of one of their own. This novi? tiate is au ancient custom still preserved in many trades. Thus, frequently, the sou of a rich hotel-keeper will not hesi? tate to outer another hotel as butler or waiter, to be initiated into all the details of thc service over which ho will ouoday have to preside. When any one visits tho farms, he is astonished to see as su? perintendent tho sou of a banker, a baron, or a rich land-owner. These young people drivo n cart or guide the plow. At noon they return, groom their horses, and thou go and dress themselves nud dine at the owner's table, to whom they are not inferior, either in instruc? tion, birth or manners. After the meal they resume their working dress and re? turn, without nuy false shame, to their rustic occupation. Thus wo find iu feudal Prussia a trait of manners suited to the Democratic society of the United States, aud which hereafter will become general." Lot us hopo that our young men will begin to recognize tho fact that there aro "situations," a great many of them, outside of city limits, whore their health and their morals will be safer, and where there can be learned practically a busi? ness which may not offer many very large prizes, but a great many moro chances of moderate, rational success thau can bo looked for in mercantil" life; whore they aro sure, while learnin^^heir business, to got strong arms aud stout hearts, and nocd be at no loss for tho culturo which comos of the carefi',1 study of good books and other forms of instruc? tion.-Ballimore Sun.

A 7 A BEAUTIFUL THOUOUT.-It may be truth? fully said that the greatest of all blossings is health, for without it tho joys vouchsafed are turned to sorrows. To all health is essential for life's enjoyment and pursuits, to the young and old, to the rich and poor. Are yon in search of wealth? Health is necneaary. Do von desire oflico and worldly honors? Of what avail would theao bo without health? Tho beauties of spring, th<5 song of birds, the deep blue sky, the rolling ocoan, all have a poetic fascination which charms only the healthy in mind and body; but to the sick what are these but mockeries. The body dis eased, tho mind sickly o'er with tho saddest nf thoughts. Oh! that I may live to appre? ciate tho blessings of health. Thia rich boon is within the reach of all. Tho remedy at hand in H EINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELIOUT, tho health pa? nacea. Now is the time to try it. A 2 Wu KS the blood becomes impoverished by improper digestion, or thora is not sufficient food taken into tho stomach to meet the re? quirements of thc system, tho skin becomes pallid, the lips and tongue turn almost white, and the face assumes a wax-hko appearance. This is a sure sign that the stream of life needs enriching, that tho blood is impover? ished.
