AUGUSTA, July "a private dispatch TO the
Chronicle says Gov. BullOck's message recon-

As the legislature stands the Democrats have a
majority in the Lower House, and II is presumed
that the radicals can only secure working MAORI

having their disabilities removed By Congress.

CHARLESTON, July 10.-Ex.G Gov. James L. Orr
has published an address to the people of the
State. reviewing his administration, presenting
the reasons which influenced his public conduct,
and advising future policy.
He says it would have been wise for the white
people to accept the reconstruction acts, and that
If the new Constitution is obnoxious, it is the
fault Of the intelligent whites, who took no part
In the convention elections.
He again avOws himself in favor of qualified
cOlOred suffrage. he says 1t is idle TO expect any
relief in regard to universal suffrage from the De-
mOcratc party; that if the State governments in
ISL are declared void the States will be left in a
condition of anarchy. II the Supreme Court de-
clsres them unconstitutional, he asks what con-
stitution will be in force and what officers rein
stated? He says that we should depend on our
selves only, and speaks Of the harmony that ex-
listed between himself and the district commander.
In conclusion, he says, the principles and pur-
poses avowed by bis successor, Governor Scott,
with reference to the interests of the State, are
wise and patriotic, and invites the people to give
bis administration full and fair trial before con-
demning it.

THE VALUE OF Work The EVIL
OF IDLENEss. -Captain Ward Of De-
troit, who was to be President Wade's
secretary of the treasury, may almost
be forgiven a good deal of evil igno-
rance on the subjects Of protection
and finance in his speech at the
Western wooden convention, for the
pith and pertinence Of these observa-
tions:
No man can realize the vast differ
ence between idlencss and industry
in a whole country, until he estimates
the loss by one or the gains by the
other. There are probably $4,000
women, boys and girls in this state
who are in no productive or educa-
tional industry, but who must neces-
sarily live upon the industry of those
who labor. Put these people at work,
and suppose they earn but fifty cents
each per day, their earnings will be
$37,5OO per day, $225,000 per week,
I$11,7O0,000 in one year, $l77,O0O,-
900 in ten years. If the citizens Of
this state could look ahead with the
positive assurance that ten years
hence there would be added to their
actual cash capital $l1I0O0,O00 out
of the now utterly yalueIess and Idle
elements in it, they might well feel
strengthened in their financial hopes,
and, with such industry throughout
this whole land, gold that rules at
Sl45 would be at par with our green
backs in less than eighteen months.
The great misfortune Of this country
is the constant and il Crea5ing tenden-
Icv to idleness and extravaganza.
Our BOYS complain OF the hardshlps
Of the smallest amount OF manual la
Dor: they ali want to DE clerks or
, government officials, where they can
get good pay with little or nothing to

Kiser to Kimball.-"I don't dare to, l

Kimball to Kiser-"I know you do, but

it,"
Here was an attempt to buy up an
old man of 80, because he was poor.
But we will inform the public that it
was no 60. Though poor he could
not be bought, but went to the polls
and voted for Gen. Grout as became
a man. No man will ever attempt to
buy another who cannot himself be

This was the speech of R. NJ. Kim

in public place that he has endeav-

Official statements show that great
improvement has taken place i'll the
agricultural classes of Ireland within
twenty years, as regards their food,
clothing and dwellings. The Irish
farm laborer is now better fed and at
far less cost than the same labOrer in
England. AS respects his clothing,
it is admitted that great improve
ment has taken place; and more than
forty thousand of the worst class OF
cabins are known to have disappeared
since 1841. There is still stronger
proof of the improved condition Of
the Irish peasantry in the decrease of
epidemic diseases, owing to increased
certainty in the supply Of food, the
continued stream of emigration, the
consequent advance in wages, and
greater constancy of employment
Previous to the great famine, discas-
es of this kind were very common
especially smallpox, which in 1888
destroyed no less than 1850 persons
yet in 1867 the deaths from that
cause were only 20, and at present
there are only 5 warehouses out of
1853 where it is known to exist. Con
sequent upon this Improvement Of con
dition, and the great drain upon the
population made by emigration in ear
lier years, the recent emigration from
Ireland has been greatly reduced. II
164T no less than 215,444 person,
emigrated in 1867 only 81,724, Oh
little more than a third Of thu
emigration twenty years before. II
1866 the number was 101, 25l, 81
that in single year, there was a fal
ling off of nearly 20 per cent. Thu
far, in 1868, there has been a de
crease from 1867, so that we may rea
sonably conclude that the proportion
of Irish born inhabitants in this coun
try is steadily decreasing.-RepubL1

Now, because the Democracy could
not carry the Presidential election III
1860, the majority OF the party turned
traitors and involved the country IN o
war which costs tenfold more human
lives than all our other wars from
that of Independence down. If blood
is dearer reckoning than any curren-
cy, then it is this fact which should
shock humanity.
But what Of the charge that om
Government expenses have been enor
nous? 1t is true. Yet we are but
paying in a less terrible form those
honorable debts entailed by Demo
cratic treason which could not be
liquidated in blood. We propose to

party, now controlled by that MAORI
ty who were rebels during the war
propose to repudiate them. And
this Blair party are bowling for
another revolution. That would In

REJOICING IN THEIR FREEDOM.

REJOICING IN THEIR FREEDoM.-A
large number of the Catholic clergy
in Austria and even the monks were
opposed to the submission Of their
government to the Pope when the
Concordat was concluded in 1856
They are now filled with JOY at it's
abolition, and do not hesitate to ex-
press it. The Dominican monks of
Retz Illuminated their convent on the
passage of the recent bills by the Aus,
trian Legislature; and having been
reproved for it by high church jour
nal, replied that they had acted Meth
er from fear nor ignorance, as they
were charged, but were glad to see
the concordat broken, as it's results
had been unfayorable to them, having
interfered with their religious and be.
nevolent duties.
