7, Governor Orr, in South Carolina, is


Governor Orr, in South Carolina, is
thought to be one of the most ELIGIBLE
of men for the professorship Of logic In
some famous university. fny his recent
address to the public he has shown that
he possessed the most logical mind OF all
public men of the times. He announced
that he had united himself with the Re-
publican party, as that party must rule
the destiny Of South Carolina for long
series Of years to come This is conceiY-
ed to be the finest specimen of pure
logic that has boon offered to the admi.
ration of mankind within century.
Strange to say, it is not appreciated pro
perly in South Carolina. No less than
six newspapers Of tho Palmetto State
hnvo declared against him, and proclaim
that he is ''goue up the spout" The
"time is out OF joint" aud pure logic is
under the RicAmona Dispntch.

on the subject, but, in tho absence of
any intelligence directly confirming the
report. he could not suppose the Amc-
rican Government would permit such q
violation of the rights of nations. The
Momite,'' makes on official denial of the
truth of the report.
