Gov. Orr.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 14.-The anniversary
banquet Of the Charleston Chamber Of Com
merce was held last night.
Gov. Orr made speech and in the course
OF his remarks said: Our political relations
are OF a very grave character. / have re.
Gently been in position where had an op-
portunity OF consulting with many Of those
who control the Government. say to YOU
in oil frankness that II Is difficult to tell what
our political position in the future will be.
Gentlemen from the Southern States, and
particularly those from North Carolina, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas were
OF the opinion that some scheme could be
suggested which might be the means at
least Of securing the support Of the conserya-
tive portion Of the radical party, hence the
scheme which you have seen presented. II
was not supposed that Il would meet the
favor Of the extremists, but that IL would
meet the views Of the more moderate men.
In their personal relations feel 1t my duty
to say that they received me kindly, treated
me courteously, and manifested every dispo-
Sition to have q perfect and complete settle.
ment; but some Of these same gentlemen,
when next they went into the halls of Con-
gress, would indulge in speeches of the most
violent character. My own judgment is il
the Legislature Of North Carolina adopt the
programme with any degree Of unanimity,
and If Arkansas adopts this amendment, and
il the other Southern States adopt II or mani.
fest disposition to adopt II, il will produce
the best results upon considerable portion
Of the radical party, and save the South from
many Of the proposed radical measures
know great many OF our people are in
favor Of folding their arms. They say we
are in the power Of this people, let them do
do not believe in any such doctrine; I
am not one Of the dignity sort; l have be.
lieved in doing something for ourselves; l
have believed in indicating to this people
that there is no sullenness, at least, on the
part Of the people Of the South; that we were
prepered to give them all honorable guar.
antees to secure their rights in the Govern.
ment, and when we did so, we at least chal.
lenged the respect OF the honest portion Of
that party. / have bent myself for two long
years to produce that result; whether il will
follow do not know. In taking the posi-
tion occupy, it was to serve the people ot
South Carolina, and intend to continue to
serve them, Notwithstanding the growls o
grumblers. l shall not be swayed from the
performance Of my duty upon that line. Il
Il accomplishes the work hoped for shall
be fully compensated for any sacrifices that
may have been made. II it fails l shall feel
that any responsibility for the further humil
iation and oppression Of South Carolina does
not lie at my door. Applause.
Tonight Gov. Orr will address public
meeting Of the freedmen Of this city.

A Leaky Photographer.

We learn that Collector SNYrHE, of New
York, has been summoned here by the Com
mittee on Expenditures in reference to the
case of photographer on trial before the
committee for having divulged the evidence
taken in New York in regard to the custom.
house frauds, thus enabling parties to check
the majestic walk of justice in their cases
1t is probable that the leaky short-hander
will be arraigned before the bar of the House
for his malfeasance to the committee.

ABoUT two years ago the newspapers an
nounced the death Of Jules Gerard, the famous
lion killer, during an exploring visit in Cen
trail Africa, but gave no accounts Of how it
occurred. According TO information given
by NJ. Huchard, French merchant, estab-
lished in the Shuboro, and by Ali-ben-Ma-
homed, Gerards interpreter, the explorer
fell victim to the cupidity and ferocity of
the negroes whom he had engaged as his
guides and protectors. His baggage and
provisions were at first plllaged repeatedly
during his journey from Seraboo to Marina
by the chief Of the former village. Being
thus deprived Of what was necessary for him
to continue, Gerard sent back his interpreter
for fresh supply.
On his way back to rejoin his master he
learned at the village Of Nio-Jupan that he
had been drowned by the Kosos, who had con,
Quoted him from Woola to Makalay, and
that his body was found in the River Jong,
which flows on the territory Of ShuborO.
According to Ali's account, the body when
found was quite naked; the arms tied behind
his back, and a piece of wood, with large
stone attached, was fastened to his waist
Ali tried to recover his instruments, but
could not do so. The provisions he had
were taken from him by the negroes, and he
himself beaten, bound, and kept as slave.

A DUEL WITH NEW REsULr.-The Mont.
gomery Mail says duel was fought at West
Point, Ca, last Saturday between n Major
BAKER, Of Lowndes county, and Mr.. ANsTiII,
of Mobile, in which the former was seriously,
it not mortally, wounded in the side. Mr..
ANsTILL was unhurt, but his second was not
so fortunate. AS Mr.. BAKER was falling he
discharged his pistol, but his aim being un.
certain, the ball lodged in the thigh OF his
antagonists second. We believe such an
occurrence is unexampled in the annals Of
duelling. The distance was five PAGES, and

MIXED INDUsTRY,-The San Francisco Bul,
tet'n says that there are facts enough to
prove that California is no longer devoted
mainly to digging gold, but can claim to
have engaged successfully in a greater va
riety of industries than almost any other
State in the Union" In 1866 the gold and
silver yield of the State was about $44, 600.
900. Its agricultural products netted S54,.
600, 900. Its manufactured articles were not
of q less value than $3O,OOO,OOO. This last
branch of industry is very flourishing. Cali.
fornians are justly proud Of the rapid growth
OF their Statei they may be equally satisfied
with its substantial prosperity.
