GOVERNOR ORR's SPEECH. The
New York Tribune, of Monday, has
an editorial article, from which we
extract the opening paragraph:
Governor Orr, we observe, has
been making speech at Bolton, S.
c., where he advises his conservative
brethren to register and vote. So
far, SO good. And we are neither
offended nor alarmed at his reported
suggestion, as an argument for so
doing, that "the attitude (?) of the
negro in the Convention and the Le-
gislature will produce a wonderful
re action in favor of the South
throughout the North" The tele-
graph is too saving of its words. We
wish it had been more lucid at the
expense of being trihe more copious.
Whether it be the admirable or the
scandalous behavior of our friend
Pompey, from which the Governor
anticipates such good results, doth
not certainly appear; but we appre-
hend that he hopes for good-from
the blacks behavior in office being
so bad. In other words, PompeyN
who was model of department
while keptin his place behind Massa's s
chair--will play fantastic tricks
before high Heaven" when exalted
to n seat in Convention or Senate,
and thus turn the stomach Of the
North. Pompey will thereupon be
ordered to resume his old and fit
position in the cabin, the cotton-feld,
and behind Massa's chair, and "the
king shall come by his own again. -
Such, we believe, is the latest-born
hope of the unreconstructed, which
Is impelling them to say quietly to
each other, ''Let us give the North a
surfeit of niggers. Let us serve
them up stewed, broiled, fried, roast
ed and fricaseed, until her gorge
rises at them. Since we cannot our
selves gain access to Convention or
Congress, because of the registry and
the iron-clad oath, let us elect big
buck niger to every seat we can fill,
and see how the radicals will relish
their company"

A method of making use of fowls,
recently devised in France, is said to
be of great agricultural value. An old
omnibus is fitted up with nest boxes
and perches, and it is proposed that
such machine should be kept on
every farm well filled with fowls,
aud should be transferred every day
to the spot where the most active
farming operations are being carried
on. The fowls would then follow
the plough and harrow, clear the
land thoroughly of fly and worm,
pick up all the stray grain after har-
vest, keep themselves high in health,
and feed themselves without cost.

The BANKRUPT LAw.-The New
York World, in an editorial on the
effect thus far of the national bank
rupt1aw, remarks:
:, The enactment of bankrupt law
had a somewhat different effect upon
the fortunes of merchants and traders
who had failed than was expected.
1t was supposed that, as there was
known to be large numbers of people
who could not &c into business be-
cause of their uniiquidated indebted
ness, that, as o consequence, there
would be rush of bankrupts to take
advantage of the new law. It has
not so turned out, though, undoubt-
edly,' when the fall terms of the
courts commence, we will see a much
larger number of bankrupts put
through the legal mill than was the
case this summer.
Instead of taking advantage of the
law to free themselves from their
obligations by being declared bank
rupts, the delinquent and unfortunate
traders are SETTLING" with their Gre
dltors For one person who makes
applications to the courts, there are
twenty who privately come to an
understanding with their creditors.
This has been done to so great an
extent that throughout the country
thousands CT old merchants will re-
enter business this fall and winter.
Inc law allows practically of three
modes Of settlement: The voluntary
and involuntary bankruptcies of in
solvent debtors, or a compromise
without legal proceedings; and this
is what is now going on ali over the
country. The effect cannot but be
good. Hundreds of energetic men
will again find their way into bust
ness, and thousands of families will
be relieved from the burden of old
debts. The law. so far, seems to
have worked well.

An, Anomaly.

An Anomaly. d T.
+ The country-that is to say, the
) Government-isin u highly apparent
prosperous condition; indeed, finan-
cially, it never has presented a more
favorable account current. The last
exhibit from Washing gton shows that
there are over 800, 600, 900 in gold
and oyer $50, 900, 900 in currency in
the Treasury, and that the revenue is
coming in at the rate of $4,000, 600
or $4,000, 900 q week. It is esti-
mated that the war debt can be paid
in less than fifteen years, if the finan-
cial department Of the Government
should be faithfully and honestly ad-
ministered. But. even with this fa-
vorable exhibit, the country, in q
business point Of view, presents a
most singular and anomalous specta-
Gle. The crops are most abundant.
In all the large commercial cities
the great centres of trade-there is
an almost unprecedented plethora of
money, and yet, strange to say, there
is equally an almost unprecedented
stagnation in business. The under
lying cause of this curious state of
affairs is as yet scarcely understood;
but thatitis, in q great measure, owing
to the increasing burden of taxation
upon the people, there can be little
donbt.
Business confidence is, moreover,
greatly damaged by the adverse po-
itical situation of the country. Not
withstanding the immense amounts
of capital laying dormant and unpro-
ductive, both in this country and
Europe, the magnificent resources of
the South, with her millions of acres
Of the finest cotton, tobacco, rice and
sugar lands, are wanting for the ap-
plication of capital-and, we might
add, Of reliable labor-to develop her
vast resources. But, beside her fer
tile soil and genial climate, the South
teens with mineral wealth, in iron,
gold, copper and coal. The best
wheat in the country is grown here,
and the best -four sent hence to the
markets of the country. And what
obstructs the development of these
grand treasures of thesoi1? Nothing
but the petty partizan spirit which
now prevails and rules the country
q contemplate ambition by those in
power to hold on. to the last gasp, to
that power which they are now WELD
ing with such mischievous results.
Oh! for the craftsmanship of the
past, when such minds as Webster,
Calhoun and Clay ruled the councils
of the country! And might we not
add the prayer for one weeks Execu-
tive administration of the laws and
maintenance of the Constitution,
which the honesty, nerve and firm
ness of o jackson exhibited to the
country and the world? But, alas!
these aspirations are in vain, and the
madness Of petty politicians rules the
hour.

.Country fsxohanssst--.sc caaaAging
,s Tactics.,, 81 s.sf

We find the following remarkable
and very self-complaoent paragraph
in an editorial article in the Charles
ton Ne,os,gof Wednesday, @> y
.A slight change of sentiment is
perceptible in the editorial manage
ment of our country exchanges.
From violent opposition to the mill
tary bill, they have drifted into
silence, and, in a few instances, have
been emboldened to advocate its mea-
sures as the only basis of reconstruc-
tion that can be expected. The Co.
lumbia Phsnir, the Anderson InteAi-
genoer, the Sumter Neps, and the
Winnsboro Iri- Weekly Ne,cs, have
changed their tactics in this respect
more fully than their cotemporaries. I"
On what meat has our Caesar fed,
that he deigns to notice the "slight
change in sentiment" in his country
exchanges?" Was it the pap received
under the just defunct regime, when
the Ne,os fancied itself ''the power
behind the throne?" Whatever the
nutriment may have been, it has set
the vanity of our cotemporary upon
e lofty pair of stills, and. high up in
mid-air, he complacently condescends
to note the change of tactics in his
more humble and unpretending
cotemporaries-"our country ex-
changes.
Unfortunately for "the truth of
history" and for the reliability OF the
allegations of this magnate of South
Carolina journalism, his assumptions,
as far as the columbia Phenir" is
concerned, are not founded in fact.
This journal has constantly advocated
reconstruction under the laws of Con-
gress, whatever may have been the
opinion of its editorial manage
ment" as regards the right or justice
of said enactments. Has the Ne,rs
been as consistent? We have noted
its 'slight change of sentiment" to-
wards the setting sun-the dethroned
monarch-and now, that we are pro-
voked to it by the fling of the Ne,rs,
we will watch, with some little inte-
fest, his attitude of worship to the
rising luminary. Brother! "why be-
holdest thou the mote that is in thy
brothers eye, but considerest not the
beam that is in thine own eye?"
