Jamen L. Orr. *t'T ? Thin distinguished Carolinian died of inflammation of the lungs, at St. Petersburg, Russia, on the 5th inst., aged 53 years. By his ability and energy, he rose from the humbler walk$ of life to the highest political positions in the State, and enjeyed more preferment in Federal office than any one of ,hia cotemporaries of South Carolina. He was the Inst Governor elected by the white people of this State, and oue of the first Judges under the Radical regime. An accomplished and adroit politician, he was always personally successful. He was governed by no great principles, and readily embraced those that would best subserve his purpose. He was social in his nature, kindly in disposition and affectionate in his household: He possessed the faculty of attracting men towards himself and pleasing and influencing them without exciting warm attachments. He had bo friend whom he could not readily dismiss when it suited him, without distress to either, aud no enemy whom he could not conciliate or forgive, when deemed desirably He held position mostly by beiiur useful to those whom he would conciliate, and bye kindly and seemingly candid address and deportment. His memory of names aedfbeec enabled him to gratify, by his recognition, any man whom he had ever met, and this talent tended largely to make him popular. fTTs popularity having no foundation in living principles and high motives of patriotism-er benevolence, was but evanesoent and superficial, and he will soon cease to be rcgretfidly remembered beyond the small circle of bis personal friends. He was a successful politician, but not a hero, a patriot or statesman?we think he aimed to be none of these. Our own intercourse with him was kindly, and at times almost cordial. "We have, 0 therefore, always sought to deal out our coin ments upon his public acts with a gentle hand, and to veil in the mantle of a charitaI I- *! ! i i V.;? Uomp fiinlti!

CUlogy of the dead 'fitsifies"history, and tends to destroy the distinction between good and evil.? To aay nothing but good of the dead, as a maxhn of social life is greatly to be commended, but the journalist owes to truth a more exact allegiance. Hon. Salmon P. Chase. Our exchanges arc filled with the tributes of the country -to the memory of the late Chief Justice of the United States, who was born January 13. 1S08, and died May 7, 1873. Death of Rev. Nicholas Talley. This aged and venerated minister of the Methodist Church peacefully passed into his rest on the 10th instant, at his residence in Columbia. We extract the following from a notice of the event, in the Carolinian of ftunaay: " Ho was bom May 2, 1791, being 82 yean and 8 days old the day be ended his long and ever well run course. Father Talley had been a faithful and successful watchman on the walls of Zion for GO years, and, leas a few months of prepartion, he had been the same length of tinfe a member of fc'ie S. C. Conference. Twenty years of this time he was Presiding Elder, twelve he served on Ktatious, niue on Circuit*,, fourteen on Missions; the last seven years he was on theauperanuatod list. * ?***? The veteran did not record himself as unable to work. nor was lie, for work ho could and work-ho did ; yet prudently and happily, lie closed Ins life, very much, it is believed, . as he desired it?working to the last. On last Sabbath, au days before his death, he preached in Marion Street Church with remarkable force and power from John X L V : 1?1; and at the close of the service administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, assisted by the venerables l>. Herrirk and K. L. King. It is not considered that there was any necessary connection between the labors of tbat day and his death. His work was done, trr// t/onr. and he gently and peacefully fell asleep and now rests from lii.s labors. ('apt. Tapper's Trial. The trial of Capt. Tupper, for the killing of Capt. Caldwell, last fall, came off in the Court ot sewions at uoiuniDia, last wcck, mm nominated in in a verdict of manslaughter. The evidence appear? to have been more favorable to the prisoner than tlio statements heretofore made had led the public to expect, and snr- j prise baa been expressed that he should | hare been convicted under the proof. Hi.?' counsel bare moved for a now trial on several grounds, some of which, if supported by the facte, would seem to look towards a result of that kind. Southern Baptist Convention. ... This body is now in session at Mobile, Ala. More than three hundred delegates are in attendance, of whom about twenty are from this State. The most important business of the session thus far. seems to have been the proposed removal of the Theological Seminary from Greenville, S. 0. to Louisville. Ky., which it was unanimously resolved should be done, so soon as $300,000 are raised for the purpose in Kentucky. The Fracas in Louisiana. Af loot ononnnts r.rdor seems to have been rcstorecTin and around St. Martinsburg.? The Court was about to adjourn. Several persons had been indicted for treason, the planters and best people were rejoicing; the U. S. troops were not needed, and the whole affair had been exaggerated, to get up a sensation. The Arctic Expedition of Captain Hall.?The telegrams tell us of the disastrous failure of this unhappy attempt to solve the great polar mysterry. Nineteen persons were found floating upou an iceberg, and gave the following account of their adventures: "This party, which had been landed from the Polaris, were driven from her by a gale on the 15th of October. When they lastsaw the Polaris she was under steam aud canvas, making for the harbor on the east side of Nothumbland Island. She had no boasts left of the six which she brought from the port of New York. Two were lost in tne notuern cxpeuiuuu, uvu wchj landed on the ice with Captain Tyson's party, one was burned as fire wood and the other is on board the Tigress. The Polaris was in command of Captain Bqddiugton, who had thirteen of the crew and plenty of provisions. She was leaking budlyk her bow being damaged, and the survivors think the vessel will noti>e able to get clear before July, and if the ship is theu unseaworthy, tho crew would have to make new boats to cflcct their escape. Captain Hall died on the 8th of November, 1871, of appoplexy, and was bnried on shore, a weoden cross being erected to mark the grave. lie had recently returned from a northern sledge expedition, and seemed in usual health, when he was suddenly struck down and expired, to the great grief of those around him. In September, 1871, the Polaris entered wintsr quarters, and left August 12th, 1872. The ice. was very heavy, and set in a southerly direction. She was forced South, and so continued drifting, until Captain Tyson and party were driven from her. The sledge party crossed Cane's polar sea, they pronounced to be a strait 15 miles wide. There was an appearance of open water to our north. Tho rescued party suffered very much, during thoir droary drilling; fYoui liutiger i??d frold. For the last two months they ate raw seal and the meat of polar bears, as they could get it When met by the Tigress they showed evident signals of suffering, but during the nine days ou bourd they improved vastly, and arc now iu fair health. The party is in charge of the United States Consul, and will arrive at'St. John's on Monday next.'' STRIKES. There is an unpleasant rumor that the j spring will show# renewal of the contest bctween labor and capital in the shape ofstrikes. We havo alluded to this matter in times past. I but if this is to be an annual affair it ccrtain, ly deserves serious notice. The whole com-1 niunitv is too deeply interested in the subject j to dismiss it with a court sentence that there : is fault on both sides. One ought to know j where each portion of the blame belongs, ' and to use such an influence as may be tore| move the causes of trouble. We reject the < j theory that it is only an artful collusion beI tween employers and employed to put up the j price of articles and to cure the effects of a . glut in the market. There is, indeed. ; danger that these two may in certain cases | combine, as the best way out of a dead-lock, i and use the pretext of a past strike, the one | to get unjust profits, the other increased i wages, out of a confiding public. But the beginning of 6trikes lies in a real difficulty, i For employers know that the regular course : of trade is better, in the long run, than any j chances of speculation, and there are for the employed evils which, even to a limited comprehension, are but too palpable. Of course we do not deny the right of any man to refuse to work for inadequate pay. If he can get other work for better wages, be is free to do so. But the question is not of mere wages. That is a matter which can be adjusted. Neither can the ono side compel capital to be employed at a loss, nor the other require work to be done at starvation prices. Mutual self-interest tends toward a fair basis. t urn petit ion lias two edges, and may out at capital as well as labor. There is another point to be considered. The chief wrong on the employer's part is a disposition to make the laborer bear the risk of insurennee?in other words, to say that wages shall lull with a low market, but not rise with a high one. The wrong on the trades-unuion's part, is that it requires all labor to be compensated alike, whether skill! de or unskilled. I Ti 1- not our business to point out the .political and economical rentedV f<>r this, i \\ e have to do with moral principles and spiritual laws only. It is a sin as well as folly , follow for the rich to permit, much for abet, the degradation of the poor. It is a sin, as well as a blunder for the pn..r to interfere with the chances of each to be paid aecordin?r to bis work's wor It. Moth these sins tend to create and continue class divisions. The opportunity of rising into a higher position is virtually denied when good and bad workmen 1'are alike. The motive of exertion is taken away. A bad. immoral, fraudulent element is introduced into toil. Again if J the working chess to be kept in [subjection it will as surely degrade itself toward the animal level. Both of these destroy that community of interest which is the soul of Christianity, the bearing one another's burdqps. Oar sympathies are very much with the workmen, but not with the cause of the trades unions. They fatally compromise their cause when they demand anything which operates in a levelling way on their own ranks. Their office is to defend individual liberty, not to promote class privileges. The reason why they do, is partly, no doubt, from the American tendency to act in masses, butstillmorebecau.se only on such'terms can they coerce the well-disposed and get the support of the lazy and vicious. It is doing evil that good may come. It is throwing away a future benefit for a present appearance. The question may he put, however.? which is so often put when evils are complained of,?"What are you going to do about it ?" and here it is a pertinent one.? We reply, the public must use its power against that which is the spirit of couibina. tious, the habit of regarding men in masses It must make it a matter of priuciple to en courage all ways which tend to individual skill and excellence. It must foster the individual independence of the worker by protecting his rights aud awakening his ambition The old tyrranny of feudal relations (by no means as tyrranicalas it has been the interest of French infidel philosophy to represent) has been utterly superseded by that of combinations. Wo often think of the fable of the fox and the- flies. There was hope that a private monopolist might be gorged, but corporations with monopolies arc insatiable. It is rather remarkable that English law which fought for three centuries the battle against monastic corporations, which had souls, and so far as the poor were concerned, considerable bowels of mercy, should have yielded to corporations without souls, and whoso mercy is simply a matter Jo A nro?*\/H'ntiAn nrtfli a nrn/'fl VI umusuua. w^Lnvu .? y cal monopoly is a dangerous power; nevertheless, as the corporation is the creature, it is always the subject of the law and may be coerced into service of the public by the peril of its franchises. There is something more dangerous than a corporation, and that is an association which has the organization of a corporate body without its responsibility, and which has a great controlling interest sufficient to keep it at one, and maintain its unity and vigor of action. A trades-union may come to be definable, as an irresponsible corporation for the injurious control of labor. That which prevents any secular association J'rom being hurtful is that its mutual interests arc partial, and concern only some special relation Men are Odd Bellows or Masons in their lodgo, but out of it, republicans, democrats, Churchmen, Baptists, Darwinians, whatever the case may be. So, too. they are buyers, sellors, lawyers, clients, physicians, patients swayed by multifarious and, possibly, conflicting interests. But the influence of the trades-union is to form a class, to bring them to the uniformity both of interest and disposition. It militates against conservative differences, and, therefore, may become a tremendous aggregate of terrible and evil power. Tt is ? loouf toward the inns.t fatal of despollsmrfli.! despotism of caste. The Church teacher true liberty, because it watches over the individual responsibility of each soul, while it impresses its corporate duty. The one body and many members, not all alike, nor having tlin sirniA nflir-e is the flhurch theorv. older even, than St. Paul (who found, not made, it in the Church of Christ.) and that theory in one which contradicts the principle of caste. It contradicts, too, and that is of some moment in this matter, the selfish love of wealth and ease,. and the wilful living to one's self alone ?Hartford Churchman. Halt-Alive. It is a sad tiling to pass through life only half alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual condition is one of languor and debility. They complain of no specific disease; they sutler no positive pain; but they have no relish for anything which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their more robust and energetic fellow-beings. In nine coses out of ten this state of la?situde and torpor arises from a mo^iid stomach. Indigestion destroys the energy of both mind and Uouy. n lien me wasicoi uuiiirc is noi auppue'i by a due and regular assimulanion of the food, every organ is starved, cvefy function interrupted. Now, what does common sense suggest under these circumstances of depression? The sys tern needs reusing and stsengthening; not merely for an hour or two, to sink afterwards into a more pitnble condition than ever (as it assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic stinmlcnt was restorated to), but radically and permaneut]y How is Luis desirable object to be accomplisheil'! The answer to this question, founded on the unvarying experience of a quarter of a centaury, i*< easily given. Infuse new vigor into the digestive organs by a course of IIostetterY Stomach Hitters. Do not waste time in administering temporary remedies, but wake the system up by recuperating the fountain head of physical strength and energy, the great organ upon which all the other organs depend for their nurure and support. Hf the time that a dozen doses of the great vegetable Ionic and iuvigornnt have been taken, the feeble frame of the dyspeptic >vill begin to feel its benign influence. Appetite will be created, and with npdetite the capacity to digest what it craves.
