Governor Orr hug rcceutly addressed ft letter (o tho President, in which he earnestly protests against General Canby's recent Jury order, aud ask* that it tnny either be entirely revoked or be suspended until tho termination of the full terms tif tho Courts. The letter presents a forcible exposition of the evil? which must result from the enforcement of tho order, aud vindicates the correctness of his conclu siuu, that "if carried into oxecutioo, this general order will more completely unsettle the laws reluting to perrons and property, than nil other orders which hare 3'ct been issued by tho Military authorities of this District," Judge A Id rich, in his address to tho Court at Edgefield decliues to obey tho order, upou the ground that it conflict* with his oath of office, requiring him, to the best of his ability, "to discharge the duties of his office, and proserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Ibis State, and that of the United States," and alio so far as he "may bo concerned in the drawing, balloting, tmpanntling or suinviomtig juri*?, truly, diligently und uprightly, to carry into due and faithful effect, the Act of the General Assembly, commonly called the Jury Law, passed A. D. 1831, as the anme has since been altered and amended." By complying with (he order the Judge believe* that he would be lending It in sanction 10 the usurpations of the present Congress in their attaaka upon the Federal and State Cooatitntious, at the same time that ha would fail to eaforea the law of the State, which require* that the juror ba a while mala citizeu or foreign emigrant who has given notice of his intention, been a resident of ihe State for one year, and in addition, be a tax-payer on property in bia own right. Evan under the Reconstruction Act itself, lu?re is nothing to justify the recent assumption of authority by Geo. Canby. It contains prov isioas aa to suffrage and office but nothing as to ibe qualifications of jurors. Other and manifold obit-Atinn* to th> niiltr mar Ik nrupH ?that it proscribes a large mass of tlie intelligence of the State simply on the grouud of past political opinions?that it exclude? all who have failed or declined to register?that it destroys the property qualifioatioD, end admits to the jury all who muy have paid a capitation tax?that vhilst excluding a large number of the white raoe, it opens a wide door to the ignorant and pauper black race, thus v enabling them in some Districts entirely to control the lives and property of tho whites. On this point read the forcible exposition of the Governor: There are white msjorities in but six districts. In two distriots tho numbers are about equni. in each of the remaining twenty-three districts of the Stat*?there being altogether .hirty-one? tha registration shows a coloured majority. In Charleston, the coloured majority it 1812, tha registered whites being 328C, and the blacks 6098. Of the whiles 118 were unable lo sign their names ; of the colonred 2606. In Charleaton and Columbia a larger number of the latter clan of parsons can read and writ*, than in an; other portion of the State, a very much larger number, bscause they have had facilities before aud since emancipation of obtaining some education not enjoyed by their class in nil the rural region of tha Stata, to which I shall advert more particularly hereafter. In organizing a jury in Charleston, therefore, uuuming that all have **:d their tuxes, this proportion would give nearly eight coloured jnrors to four whitea> and five of these eight would not be able to igu their names. In Beaufort, Georgetown, Colleton, Berkeley, and other districts, the allowing is even worse. Partial returns from Beaufort indicate that litere ere 2550 coloured, and but sixty-five while votes registered.? This proportion would furnish but one white man to every fourth jury. Of the coloured voters registered iu the rural districts I estimate that not more than five per cent. of the whole number are able to lead and write, and ery ninny of them have not intelligence enough to count oue hundred. In Georgetown District there are 418 whites aud 8413 coloured voters registered. One while man might pcrehanee be drawn upou each jury, aud in all probability not one of the remaining elrven coloured men would be able to read aud write. To sum up, there will be in twenty-three districts of this State h majority of coloured jurois for the trial of a'l classes of cases, civil and criminal, and only five per cent, of tl>eir number mil be able to read or write. Does any country which hue established the right of trial by jury, fail, l?y its legislation, to secure a proper deifVce At intelligence unions the juroral These rule*. if applied to the State Court*, will, I presume, be likewise applied to the Federal Court; and the proportion upon such Federal juries will be?iu Charleston, eight coloured to four whites; in Columbia, wine coloured to thVee wh'tes, and in Greenvilla, eight white to four coloured jurors ? These a fit the three point* where the United State* Court sit* in South Carolina. THX FINANCIAL CONDITION OFTHECOUNTBY. Ex-Gorernor Seymour in a recent address to the Democratic Stute Convention, of New York presents the following humiliating aspect * of the financial condition of the country which he attributes chiefly to the revolutionary tendencies of the Government, in its persistent ef forts to keep alive sectional hatred and discord : The credit <>f our Government, ssys he, is lower in the markets of the world than that of any Christian nntion in Europe. It hits sunk to the level of thut of the Turk, the 'sick man of the East.' When you look at the list of price* of national stock you will find that oar bond*, taking into account the great interest we p?y. "re f<d'?ng for lets than half Ibe price given for those of Great Britain.? Wlieu we lay them tide by aide upon the counter af the cspitalwl, he takes the British boud at a rate, wbieh will give biin hack, ia the oorse of 20 ynuts, only (1,700. while we pay bim $2,700 (faring the same time. That is to ay. wb*c the United States borrows $?,000 in jr gold, it pays the lender prioaipal and iute?c*t in 20 years #2,700( England pays only $1,700. When we.borrow #1,000,0000 we pay on a 20 year loan $2,700,000; England pays ouly $(,700,000. But leaving toe markets of the world, and coming to our owo shores, we ?ud ur eiticens will not trast onr Government up* d the same terms whfeh th?v ?< * ihoi>> Migbbore. The bond* of the United States iotereet to thoee who boy them about pafr'eent. They alto give an exemption from teSMioa, worth 1 or 2 per cent. more. Yet BM MgwlJ M,k Mfe securities which, with Ik* ArtwbMk* of Utttion, pay about half the ilUrat fivfn by our Government. Every 4ay* report from Europe that flashes along the ^aetrie lise, telle that the national credit i* than that of the boud? put forth by a of ite own creation.

Wardlaw, of our Village, is prepared to attempt the solution of liiii problem by ranking cosh advances on cotton consigned through him, either to Cliaaleston or New York.
