What Orr SAYS.

Hon. James L. Orr, Of South Carolina,
formerly Speaker of the Federal House OF
Representatives said in the South Carolins
Reconstruction convention.
"The North has conquered us, and has
a perfect right to fix the terms of our res
t%oration to civil and political rights
The special to the Herald says:
"Adiutant General Lorenzo Thomas re-
ports that the State of Mississippi alone
is credited with having furnished upwards
of seventy-nine thousand negroes and one
thousand whites to command them. They
are represented to have been raised dur
ing the years 1863 and 1864, for service
during the war"
Since we have a right to fix the term;
of the restoration of the Southern people
to their political rights, is it cruel to say
that they shall all be restored to their pO-
litical rights at once, both those who lost
them by slavery without any fault of their
W and those who lost them by their own
treason? Especially, is it hard that that
class of the people of Mississippi which
has furnished 10000 men to defend the
Union should have the same rights as the
class which has furnished but n thou
sand to fight for the Union, nearly all from
other States, and nearly a hundred thou
| sand for the rebellion2

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

The only item of foreign intelligence
falling under our notice is from Madagas-
car, where the Government is gradually
falling into disorder, and the old fanatieal
party are regaining their influence over
the people, and demanding the instant e&-
clusion of all foreigners from the Island.
The Queen, on the other hand, is for com
plying with all the demands of the French
which is probably the moving cause OF
all the excitement-and would have the
idemnity they ask for paid. The strange
epidemic which heralded the deposition
and assassination of Radama II has
made its appearance again. 1t is a cOnta-
gious hysteria, the result of fanatical ex-
element. Whole crowds of people are
seized with commissions, raise savage cries,
and roll themselves on the ground.
In a circular issued by the Secretary of
the Missionary Convention, the statement
is made that in 1874 the number of Bap-
fists in the State was 93,8O9, and III 1864
the number was S9,074, showing decrease
of 4,735. This is a humiliating and admon-
itory fact to us as IL denomination. The
population of the State in 1910 was 2,42s,
92l and in 1864 at least 100000 Thus
with n population of less than two mil
lions and a half, we had 9,sOs members
in our churches in the State, and with a
population of four millions we have only
S9,O74 members.
The whole number of American For
eign Missionary Societies is l6, having I'M
der their charge 1888 missionaries, native
preachers, &c, $4,000 church members
$4,000 pupils, and receipts amounting to
81, 100, 900. In Great Britain there are &c
Missionary Societies; missionaries, native
preachers &c, 6,2l6 members $4,000
pupils, POI, 900 receipts, S2,Os4,O 900. On
the continent of Europe, there are II So

Thn Virrinin Election.

Sufficient returns have been received
from the Virginia election, which was
held on Thursday last, to develop the fact
that the professedly Union men, 4 E., these
who are able to take the test oath required
by Congress; have been successful e the
rampant rebels who were for sending
men to Congress who would defy the ad-
ministration and the oath. The Virgin
ians, possibly because they are nearer
Washington and understand more clearly
the temper of the Government, have
avoided the folly of Mississippi. They
have disguised their real sympathies,
which, as was demonstrated by the Rich
mond charter election, are with these who
served and fought in the rebel armies, and
have elected men who, though they have
svmpathized with the rebellion, have moi
been prominent or active in its overt sup.
port. In this way they hope to gain adj
mission to the next Congress, intending
if they succeed, to unite with the North
ern Democracy and regain power. They
stoop to conquer.
In the first district Mr.. Gusts, of Acco
mac, is elected and can take the oath
The second is represented by L. II
Chandler, formerly District Attorney o
Eastern Virginia, and a good Union man
R. johnson Barbour is chosen from th'
third-a leading Virginian, who has giver
a passive consent to the rebellion, but hai
| not Joined in it, and who can take the oath
THU Iuurtn elects Robert Ridgeway
formerly editor of the Richmond Wig
which was suppressed by the military a:
reasonable, but afterward allowed to &c
on. He will be able to take the oath
and vet there il not a more thoroughly
d~isloval man in the whole South. The
fifth district is still in doubt-the contest
being between c. L. Mosby, who can take
the oath, and Col. Robert E. Wethers, OF
the rebel army. In the sixth, A IL. d
Stewart, of the rampant rebel stripe, Is
chosen. He cannot take the oath, and de
clares his open defiance and contempt
for it. The same is the case with X. L
Conrad, representative elect in the seventh
district. The eighth sends a Mr.. Hoge,
| so-caIled Unionist, as its representative.
This showing sums up as follows; Pro,
fessedly Union 5; Rebel q Doubtful l
But one, however, of the so-called Union
lists can really be called a Union man
The rest have been warm sympathizer'
with the rebellion and will represent thu
disloval sentiment of Virginia as really a
though they had commanded brigades an
divisions in Lees army. Whether such
delegation will be admitted to the halls o
Congress or not is a problem which vii
soon be solved.

slavery, has -
time and pains spent
trivial matters. 1t seems to us
highest duty of a christian, after that ..
devotion to the Divine Government, is 10y
atty to righteous human one. Itseems to
US as if that religion is worthless which
does not make its professor a good citizen
and a patriot. 1t seems to us as though
in this happy hour, when the twin evils
and crimes, slavery and secession, have
been crushed, that expressions of joy
thereat by religious associations would
be not only appropriate but essential,
and vet every manly and patriotic dec
l~aration of this sex has been stitited
bv this convention with hOrror-stricken
haste, and those who advocated them have
hardly been allowed to address the house.
While they have thus put behind them
this weighty duty, they have devoted
themselves with the most studious and
--IerouI 4ArOOUy ~ the us
cussion of minor affairs. The session OF
Thursday, of the proceedings of which the
telegraph gave US a resume yesterday, was
devoted to such topics as the proper pos
lures to be observed in the ceremonies Of
baptism and confirmation, the amend
ment of certain lines and stanzas in vari-
Gus hymns, the arrangement of tables fol
finding Easter, the prescription of meth,
DDS for organizing and dividing dioceses
and similar topics. Attending to these
lesser details, they have neglected the
weightier matter of the law. These thing
ought they to have done, and not to have
left the others undone.

The Congressional Canvass in South
Car0Iiua.

The Congressional Canvas III SOutH
Carolina.
The canvass for the representation OF
theIGreenvile district in Congress has been
commenced with considerable vigOr and
zeal. The candidates thus far are the Hon.
James Farrow, of Spartansburg; the Hon.
John D. Ashmore, of Greenville, and Ma
ior t. c. Boiling, also of Greenville. The
first named, Mr.. Farrow, was the member
from that congressional district in the con-
federate congress during the whole period
of its existence, having obtained his seatln
the first instance after a spirited contest
with G F. Townes and for the second
term. after a still more holly contested
s~trurgle with the Rev. DR.. Boyce. Mr..
Ashmore was a representative from the
Granville district in the United States
CONGRESS previous to the war, having first
beaten Mr.. Vernon, of Spartansburg, for
the position, and being afterward re-
elected without opposition. Mr.. Boiling
is vet a novice in politics. He was OF
the Union ticket for the convention OF
1860 that was defeated, and his only sue
cessful attempt to enter political life has
been as a member of the recent state con
vention. He is fluent and ready in debate
decided and rather peculiar in his views,
and bold and fearless in the expression Of
them, and is, withal, a gentleman of esti-
mable social character. He is announced
as the Union candidate for congress. The
election will come off as soon as the legis,
lature can order it.

In the American Christian Missionary
Convention held on Friday, Gen. Garfield,
who is an elder of the denomination, was
present, and a motion was made to ask
him to speak in the evening after the
regular address by another member. Gen
Garfield declined, but his friends insisted
that he should speak. Others, of copper
head prochvities, threw obstacles in the
way, which provoked quite a sensation
among the loyal members. The General,
however, positively refused to speak, and
persuaded the mover to withdrawthe pro-
position.

Died at His Daughters Threshold I'm.
recOg mixed.

An inquest was held Thursday night,
near the Carondelet docks, on the body of
an old man named Artemus Hitchcock,
who died under the following circum-
stances: He was a resident of Rockford,
Illinois, and came ON avisit to his daughter,
Mrs. Louisa Mcdowell, of Carondelet and
sitting down in a state of exhaustion on a
bench near her house, suddenly died OF
disease of the heart. He was found by
the family a corpse instead of a visitor.
The family had observed his approach,
but not recognizing him did not go out to
meet him, until he was found a lifeless
corpse.-St. Louis Meas 18th ~ .r.s-

IHE newspapers are discussing char
acLerlstic correspondence between George
Curtis and Governor BrownlOw. Curtis
Is the lawyer of rebel named Kahn, and
wrote 10 the Governor 10 complain that
Main was treated too harshly in the Jail at
Knoxville. The Governor says that Kahn
shall be- treated as well as any man deserves
who is accused of hanging and starving
Union citizens, whipping others at the
stake of the cart wheel, and stripping
Union ladies, who were passing through
the rebel lines, of all their clothing except
what they had on them al the time. The
copperhead lawyer gets the worst Of 1t In
inns correspondence, you may DO sure.
This reminds US Of little anecdo,e re-
speeding this very Curtis. He is a pom
pous, pretenIioIs, solemn fellow, who
makes much more account of himself as a
lawyer and state man than ether people
nave ever made OF him, and who enigr at.d
10 New York about 1861, because he could
no longer get business in Boston. Not
very long after his arrival there, he WAS
employed by aman who had made Jury
rudder for the Great Eastern, when she
came SO near being lost in gale at sea-
and who demanded la. ger compens alton
than The cor signees in New York would
allow. In his speech in this case, Mr..
Curtis laid himself out 10 depict the fury
and terror of the storm, and the helpless,
lost condition of the skip; and when he
had wrought itup to the top of his ability,
he went on TO show that the officers of the
vessel were of no avail. "They were OF
no USE" said he, bungling for want OF the
second part OF his figure, ''no more use
than-Lhan-than SO many infants. %
Here Mr.. Evarts, who was one of the
counsel on the other side, said In a sup.
pressed voice "Bat a baby is great in a
squall." The court and the few auditors
burst out in laughter, but Mr. Curtis did
not Join in toe merriment.

You wear out your clothes.
You are not troubled with visitors.
You are exOnerated from making calls
Bores do not bore you.
Tax CATERERS hurry past your door.
lt!neranL bands do not play opposite
your windows.
You avoid the nuisance of serving on

You practice temperance.

Flatterers do not shoe. their rubbish into

You are saved many a debt, many a de.
ception, many headache.

the world, you are sure, In a very short
space Oftime, to know 1t.
