The Use Of the Ballot.

Governor Orr, of South Carolina, has lust
made speech to number of the new citizens
of his State. In his capacity as Governor he
was expected to advise these political nco-
phytes as to the proper course for them to pur-
yrc-to imbuc them with tho knowledge lie had
gained during a persistent course of office
holding craftsmanship, and to instruct them in
the artof voting. To such source the inquisi-
tive enfranchised ought not to lo5S in vain for
illumination. Surely, if any one is capable of
throwing light on such subject, it is gentle
man who has illustrated in his own history the
workings Of the ballot:box and who has man
aged to got elected to great many important
Offices without possessing any supcrauous
quantity Of merit The newly invented citi-
zens of South Carolina must certainly entertain
high appreciation of the powers of the cleo
tive franchise when they End what it has done
for Governor Orr; just as in this State, they
must have gained an exalted notion of its eff
cacy by observing what it effected for the gen
tlemen who were elected to Office in 1864.
Hence, it is not surprising that the colorcd
voters of South Carolina applied to Governor
Orr for instruction before deciding on their
future political course
We have only brief tclegraphic synopsis of
the remarks which the Governor addressed to
his fellow-citizens on this important occasion,
and, therefore, We are precluded from laying
before our readers the whole of his speech
That is luxury which they have yet in anti
cipation. But it is gratifying to know that We
are notlcft entirely ignorant of the Governors
views. When We have been informed of the
main point of his programme, it is, perhaps,
superfiuous to Inquire for more. Indeed his
plan is so comprehensive, and yet so simple SO
eficacious, and yet SO Ineligible, that we only
wonder that nobody ever thought of it before :;
and should esteem it almost an impertinepce to
ask for arguments in its favor. In reply to tho
momentous questions, "What shall we do?"
or, in other words, "How shall VIC vote?" he
informs the colorcd people that the best thing
for them to do is not to vote at all He tells
them that they must not attach themselves to
either of the two parties now disputing for su-
premacy in the country; that they must avoid
the Republican party as sham and ahumbug,
and the Democratic party as a dolusion md q
snare, and wait to join tho great party which
is to comprise the people of both races in the
South, and everybody at tho North. Of course,
nobody will deny that such e party would not
be only powerful, but invinciblo; nor would
anybody be guilty of the faulty of opposing
party which is to include everybody. Hence
we must concede that the Governors ADVICE
was emineptly sagacious and sound. But it
would, no doubt, have been very agreeable to
his hearers to be told when this political mil
lenium is to commence; when this political
happy family is to he organized; when the Re-

District Destitution.

The cry is going forth from MI sections of
our State us bread, or we die" This
unparalleled state of distress, which exists in
some Districts to such an extent MS to bring
many to the verge of starvation, calls for the
earnest efforts of those who can, to alleviate the
misery of their fellow creatures, especially when
they are their ncighbors, and perhaps the wives
and children of those who stood side by side
with them III trying hours of danger. Orange
burg is not as destitute rs some other portions
3fthc State, it is truc but it is getting worse
and worse every day with us, and unless active,
Mell-dirccted efforts arc put forth, the murmur
Of starvation, now beginning to arise in our
midst will gather into loud and hcart-rcnd-
ing wall of human anguish.
Under these circumstances, what is to be
done, to avert this impending calamity We
think that much can be accomplished by sys-
te'natising charity. We are glad to haSfarayslasa
served the appointment of a committee
zens at this place, for the purpose of collecting
and dispensing District contributions and
we arc confident that when they make Il
report of their labors, it will be seen that
much good has been thus done to the
suffering poor. We would suggest it rs a
good plan, to have similar committees in every

names Of those who arc really destitute, and to
collect contributions from those who arc in more
favored circumstances. In this way, each
Beat can in measure relieve its own distress,
and its Committee can then report to Com
mttce at this place, what they are unable to do
of themselves, and the names of all the really
destitute among them, so that further relief
can be extended. This will obviatc two evils
of the present system ofa single Central Com
mittce: First, that they arc sometimes liable
to imposition, and distribute to those who make
the most pitiful representations, but arc not
the most needy in reality; and secondly, that
they may occasionally be led to withhold assist
ancc from those really ncccssitous, on account
of malicious reports of parties, attempting to
wrcak some private grudgc, or CRAFTY some
petty spite.
In making these suggestions. VIC do not de-
sire to cast any reflection on t, good Judge
mcnt or commcndablc efforts of the present
Central Committee to do good There is no
doubt that they arc discharging their duty to
the best of their ability, and that they are fully
competent to this noble work but how much
could their good purposes be assisted, had they
the cooperation of Boat Commttocs, such as We
have above suggested.
