GOVERNOR ORR.

We extract from the InteHigencer the fol-
lowing notice Of q recent 'pesshS delivered at
Anderson G. H.:
At the eernest solicitation Of many friends,
his Exceleucy Gov. James L. Orr consented to
address the people Of the District on last Mon
day, in the Court House, upon the political
condition of the country.
After reviewing the various plans presented
since the war, for the reconstruction of the
government, he earnestly insisted upon the &C
ceptance, by the people Of South Carolina, of
tho plan OF reconstruction now proposed, US
the only means of preventing tho adminietra.
ton of the affairs of this country from passing
into the hands exclusively of the ignorant, anl
consequently the barbarian and tyrant. and as
the only hope OF making this country even tol-
erable. He showed, from the census of 1860.
tho great preponderance Of colored over white
voters in the State. and our utter inability to
defeat Convention, or to protect ourselves
whenever we mako all issue with the colored
people. According to the census of 1860, it
appears that there are sixty thousand colored
voters in the State. while there are only forty
thousand white voters, leaving a majority Of
twenty thousand colored voters 1t is true,
perhaps, that there are not as many colored
men in South Carolina now, as in 1860, but it
is almost sure that the propor,ionate decrease
has been much greater with the white man
than with the colored men in the State, since
the commencement of the late war. Gov. Orr
Insisted upon the cultivation of the most cor
dial aud kind relations between the two races
in the South, and the formation of no alliance
with the two great political parties of the ma
ton.
The speech WAS altogether timely. consid.
crate and forciole. and we feel sure that
our excellent Governor was actuated alone by
motives of love for his native land, in thus
earnestly invoking his fellow citizens TO grasp
the only means of preventing anarchy and
ruin TO our already down trodden and desc
lated land.

lines running from. its broad base to the
corners of the mouth. gives to the features a
somewhat cynical expression, as If lifelong
antagonism with the world had sowed the
disposition Of the man and made him
susPtcous and indifferent. The mouth and
chin are unmistak able signs of frmness aud,
indeed, these two features reviewed in
connection with that curious pair OF sharp
eyes. which never rest long enough on one
object TO let you catch their meaning, constitute
the external alphabet of the mans character.
At glance you are impressed with all idea of
independence amounting almost 10 obstinacy:
OF indifference that verges on suspicion; of a
perceptive power that reads you through; and
yet Of a strength of the will and courage,
combined With an intellect more than sufficient
to carry him through difficulties before which
ordinary men would quail.
"All these forbidding features, however, are
lost when the President uubsnds from the
severe and stately dignity assumed for the
occasion, and gives free play to his natural
sociability and disposition. He is then plain

MAxlAILrAN-Signor Romero, the Minister
Of Jeursz, at Washington, writes a letter to the
New York Herald. in which he argues that it
would be impolitic in Mexico to allow Maxi
milan to 60 to Europe. because "he will be a
continual menace to the State Of Mexico" as
serting that he will call himself Emperor of
Mexico, maintain q court about h i'm, aud return
after time. like Iterbide. to claim his Empire.
He adds thatMexico cannot afford te be mag
n"nimous, like the United States. because she
is feeble. and the United States powerful. Tile
argument is a foolish, timid and cruel one.-
Romero does not seem to favor numbering the
Emperor, but pretty plainly indicates impr:s.
onment for life, in imitation of the refined ex.
ample of The Allies in disposeing of Napoleon.
