STARVATION IN SoUTH CAROLINA Governor
Orr Of South Carolina sends TO the New York
Herald abstracts of many letters received by him
setting forth the extreme restitution of the people
in that state The account given in the following
from w. Gilmore Simms. the novelist of Barnwel
district, corresponds with those from all parts Of
the state -
AS far as ! can see there is no possible escape
from general famine, in which all will suffer- many
perish. In precinct of fifty miles in this district
there is not more than one planter in fifty who
has corn enough TO last him single month not
more than one in two hundred who has enough for
two months none that have any that can last three
months; and Of these there is hardly more than
five in the hundred who will be able to supply
themselves with provisions Of any sort, unless by
borrowing money on mortgage, not only Of the
growing crop, but Of the lands, and at such rate
OF interest that no crop they make possibly
save them from ruin great many will almost
or quite starve, unless they can get help from
some other resources than their own. Briefly, the
famine which nov threatens the land is all over
the land, and no one region can help the other 49,

Active measures have been adopted to dispose
of the congressional appropriation OF $500 600 for
the relief Of the southern desttution. In Georgia
contracts have been made for 80, COO bushels of

The New Orleans Crescent gives the
following clear statement ofthe effect of
the suffrage and DISTINGUISHING clause
in the Reconstruction Bill. We suggest
that it be preserved for reference:
4" l. As to qualifications: In gener-
al, all persons are voters and are en-
titled to registry, who are male citizens
of the United States, without distinc-
ton of color o. twenty-one years of
age and upward, and having resided
one year in the State in which they of
fer to vote
,. As to disqualiications: All per
sons are disqualified, who, having been
federal officers or members of a State
Legislature, or executive or judicial of
ficers of any State, and have subse-
Quently engaged in rebellion against

comfort to the enemies thereof
3. As to Interpretation The dis
qualifications do not apply to simple
clerks, such as postOfiice clerks-these

Good Advice

Our disptches have mentioned a
speech by Gov. Orr at the Toard of
Trade banquet at Charleston to Gen.
SickIes. A more full report shows
that he urgently advised the accept
ance of the reconstruction conditions
because they could not help them
selves, and theirrefusal would subject
them to severer terms. He had OPP
posed the Constitutional Amendment,
upon the idea that South Carolina had
an option, but now that she is con
quered State, he advises submission.
He is opposed to disputing Congress
before the Supreme Court, or any
where, but he goes for accepting the
terms. He thinks disfranchisement a
mistake, but that it is better that some
should be disfranchised, than to relu Sc
the terms He advised the cultivation
of amicable relations with the black
voters, end to convince them that their
interests are identical with those of the
whites of South Carolina, and not Of
Massachusetts, he argued that the tax
on cotton oppressed black as well as
white, and therefore they should hang
together.
He referred to the laws of Massachu
sets which did not allow a black man
to vote unless he could read and write
and to Ohio, which had refused suf
rage to the blacks, and to New Jersey
and Michigan, to show the blacks that
the Northern whites cared nothing for
the rights of the blacks. He related
what he wanted the black voters to say
TO the whites who were trying to
organize them into radical party.
When an emissary comes here from the
State of New York, Massachusetts or Ohio,
aud SAYS to the black man, we are your
friends we are going TO take care OF you,
vote with MS" those white people cannot be
trusted.
He advised against any utilization
with either political party at present,
but to wait to unite with the party
which would 10 most for the South.
He said, rs to the Democratic party
We have accounts to settle with that par
ty. gentlemen, before l, at least, Will consent
to affiliate with it. Cries of Good, good
and applause. In my Judgment it is time
for us to seek new friends and new alliance;
hence l am opposed to organizing any party
in South Carolina that will cement itself to
the Democratic or any other party.
He hoped their Representatives
would 60 to Washington prepared to
join any party that would do justice

Regulations under the Bankrupt
Law.

The Supreme Court has issued regu-
lations concerning the appointment of
registers of bankruptcy, of which the
principal points are as follows:
To insure as far as practicable the selec-
ton Of fl men for registers, the Chief JUS
tIce viii require in every case where his
recommendation and nomination Is desired
first "A certificate from the clerk or Judge
of the proper district or territorial court, or
of some State court OF Record, under the
seal Of the court, that the gentleman named
therein is a counselor of said court; second
ly, statement in what Congressional dis
trict or Territory the gentleman proposed
resides, aud for what district or Territory,
and for what judicial district the recommen-
dation and nomination Is desired thirdly,
letters from business and professional men
of district, State or territory, who have the
confidence of their fellow-citzens, each with
letters, must vouch distinctly and
fully for the gentlemen named, in re-
~pect 70 his professional knowledge and ability
in respect 10 his personal integrity, and in re-
spert to his general business capacity. In adj
dltion to these, when the State i represented
in Congress, similar letters, if they can be had,
are desired from the representative of each dis
trlCt, and from the Senators of each State, or
in case Of territory, from the delegate. No me

Nominations and recommendations founded
upon testimony furnished a above required

CONSERVATIVE RESOLUTIONS OF A
MEETING OF FREEDMEN IN NASHVILLE.
Whereas, Under the laws of Tennes-
see, the cOlored man is invested with
the right of suffrage, and 1t, therefore,
becomes his duty to justify his enfran-
chlsement by a prudent, thoughtful,
and patriotic exercise of that great and
inestimable privilege:
And whereas, Our Conservative
white fellow citizens have invited us to
appoint delegates to the State conven-
ton to assemble in Nashville on the
10th inst, and participate with them
IN nominating a candidate for Cover
nor, thus showing their disposition and
desire to secure our rights, and to pro
mote harmony between the two races,
therefore be it
Resolved, That we cordially accent
the invitation, and will faithfully labor
to make the political unity thus inau-
gurated rebound to the good of the
State and the whole Union
Resolved, That we do not desire to
be an element of discord in the com
munity in which we live-that to seek
to unite the colOred race against the
white, or the poor against the rich,
would only bring trouble; that we be-
lieve the common good of both de-
ponds upon the spirit of harmony and
justice of all towards each other.
Resolved. That believing the spirit
and tendencies of Radicalism are I'M
favorable to these aims, we take our
stand with the true Union ConserYa-
tives of Tennessee, and invite our race
throughout the State to do the same.
Resolved, That our right to vote in
wolves the right to hold office, and that
its denial is unjust; and that our in
terests and rights as free men require
also that we should have the right to
sit upon juries.
Resolved, That while thankful to
overruling Providence that slavery is
removed from the land, we have no
ground to fear that any attempt will
ever be made to reestablish it.
