Keep 1t Before the People.

On tn 10th day Of March, 1870,
Judge James J.. Orr was interviewed
by correspondent Of tho New York
Tribune, and gave utteranoe to the
following severe denuuciation of the
Radical party, with which lie ia now
associated:
"The result of the last three years
have satisfied the people that all the
present evils of which they complain
might have beeu avcrted by showing
the colored voters that thcy intend to
maintain their new rights. Large
numbers of the best mon in South
Carolina are even now willing to
espouse Republic,H principle, and
would doubtless d, SO but for the dis.
trust which, as gentlemen of characte
and intelligence, they naturally en-.
tertain to owards those who, oy accident
al oircumstan noes, have been placed in
ho lead of the Republican party
men who do not, aud never did enjoy y
public confidence men who are
ignorant, corrupt, dishonest and unfit
by reason of their early associations,
for decent society. They were adroit
enough, however, to make the moro
ignorant among the negroes believe
them to be their best friends, and by
employing all tho the arts Of the
demagogue, and an unsorupulous use
of dissraocfull agencies, they succeed.
cd in being elected to the most impor'
tant Offices in the State"

This calculation is certainly very
encouraging to tho Conservatives and
Democrats, coming as it does from
one of our opponents, who has proba-
bly, made tho best possible showing
for his party. 1t will be seen that ho
claims a Republican majority Of only

replied that the Government of France

should not he declared. Tho reason
which obligcs us to refuse is that
rcpublicanism so spread would ALLEVIATE
and torrify Russia and imperial nego-
tations pending between the Proyis-
ional Government and Rupsia for MI
alliance oeusive against Prussia,
should the latter prove too cXactiug in
her terms for peace. In other worde,
if this alliance takes place, and it is
on the point of realization, Russia
will march straight on Berlin. Sho
has already begun to arm and sond
troops to her western frontier. If
you ask what can tempt Russia,
Russia answers that the same military
strength Prussia now directs against
