up the whole matter as follows:
ssThere are under the Constitution three kinds

Significan. Speech of Gov. Orr
What he learned at Washington
q He thinks the South should do
Something.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 14.-At the an
niversary banquet of the Chamber of
Commerce last night, Governor Orr
made speech. during which he allu-
ded to his visit to Washington, and
the formation of the scheme of recon-
struction, already printed, which it
was thought could secure the support
of the Constitutional members sof the
Radical party. He was received kind
ly and treated courteously, and every
disposition was manifested to have a
perfect and complete settlement, but
some ofthose gentlemen when next
they went into the hall of Congress,
we found, INDUCED in speeches most
violent in character. My own judg-
ment is, that if the Legislature had
adopted this programme with any
degree of unanmity, and if
Arkansas would adopt ~ this
Amendment; and if other Southern
States adopt, or manifest a disposition
to adoptit, it will produce the best
results upon considerable portion of
the Radical party and save the South
from many proposed Radical measures.
| know great many Of our people
are in favor of folding their arms,
They say we are in the power of these
people. Let them do as they please.
| do not believe in any such doctrine.
| am not one Of those whose dignity
is lost | have believed in our doing
something for ourselves. [ have be-
lieved in indicating to the people that
there is no sullenness, at least, on the
part of the people of the South-that
we were prepared to give them all
honorable guarantees to secure their
rights in the Government; and when
we did so we at least challenged the
respect of the honest portion of that
party. / have been, myself, for four
long years trying to produce that, but
whether it win follow, / don't know.
In taking the position | now occupy,
it was to serve the people of South
Carolina, and intend to continue to
serve them, notwithstanding the growl
of the grumbler. | shall not be
swayed from the performance of my
duty on that line. IF it accomplishes
the results hoped for, | shall be fully
compensated for any sacrifice that may
have been made; if it fails, | shall
feel that any responsibility. for the
further humiliation and oppression of
South Carolina dossnct lie atmy door.

The most exciting political subject now
before the people is that of Shcrdan's
removals at New Orleans. Everyone is on
the qui ,irc as to the issue. Sheridan is
proving himself the same dasl ing, bold
eader in the politico-military service
at New Orleans, that he was while com
batting the rebel hordes of Early in the
valley Of TIE Shenandoah. We admire
the manliness which dares TO assume
responsibility and is not cowcd by menace
or disapproval. lie docs not wait for
the opinion of the attorney general. lie
forms his own opinions and acts promptly
in accordance with those opinions. While
Others are hesitating as to what is to be
done, he decides and accompanies. Those
who act thus hastily are more liable to
be lei Into error and it is possible Gen.
Sheridan has not acted judiciously and
yet when we consider the character Of the
men removed and their questionable re
cord heretofore, we are inclined to tolerate
an unimportant informally which rds US
of those unmitigatcd traitors. The only
questions which can be raised are whether
Gen. Sheridan has not exceeded his
powers and if SO whether his removal and
the restoration of the officers who came
under his discipline Are necessary &c
preserve the dignity Of the law. That
these civil officers were richly deserving
Of even a severcr handling than they have
received there is not the least doubt
That the military reconstruction act wai
framed by men who contemplated sucl
power on the part of the military com
manders is equally clear, and yet there i
an ambiguity in the language of the ac
which gives the attorney general more thai
shadow of Il reason for his Lahore,
opinion that the department commander
have not the power of removing Stat
officers.
The uncertainty as to the true in
depreciation of the provisions of tn
