The Situation of Judge Orr.

We print.t to-day highly important let
ter from Anderson, in which the special
correspondent Of the Neacs sets forth the
present opinions of Judge james L. Orr
upon the condition and political future of
the State. With sinewy force Judge Orr
describes the robheries which the Ring
have committed, and exposes the hollow;
ness OF the pretensions OF those leaders OF
his party who are now fighting for the
mastery during the zone years good steal
ing" which remains. A more severe ar
alignment of South Carolina Radicalism
has never been framed than that which
now falls from the lips of the ablest man
IN its ranks. The statements which Judge
Orr makes upon this point the people know
to be true, but their determination to hold
.. &loof from Repubicanism will not prevent
Them from seconding any set of. men who
may nominate candidates for whom decent
citizens can consistently vote. When Re-
publicansm in South Carolina is made re-
spectacle when it is stripped of the para
sites sttich corrupt its tissues and make ii
hileous to see, it will be time enough to
invite lie viii, ,e. citizens of South Carolina
TO enter the Radical fold And, BAD as
things are, we firmly believe that two
ycars more OF Scotts rule would be less
hurtful to the taxpayers than to the Re-
publican party The reelection OF Scott
ne election Of any like man, might
cs. the State four million dollars, but it
woaId cost the Republican party its very
cxis;ence. Yet we feel that we are not
going too fal in saying that, as the whites
adhere to their determination not to make
pirty nominations this fall, Republican
candidate like Judge Melton or Mr.. c.
Davis Melton or Judge Graham would re-
celve the votes Of at least ffty-elGht thou-
sand of the sixty, thousand white voters
in the State
1t will be noticed that Judge Orr ex-
plains away the most Objectionable points
N the defence of nepotism and glft-tak!ng,
which he delivered in Columbia upon MS
roturn from the Philadelphia Convention.
Whatever. the political differences betweel
this paper and Judge Orr, it is far from
our desire to do him any injustice. We,
therefore, have given him an ample op
portunity Of formally defining his attitude
towards political parties in the State

Proposed Formation of a Southern Cot
ton Company,

ASHLAND, near Vance's Ferry, June2S.
10 the Editor of the News We would
call the attention of the cotton rlanters of
the South to the urgent necessity of uni
ing their brains and their money for their
'nutua! protection and benefit. The cot
IN planters of the South have ii in their
eower to control and regulate. in a great
rlaasure, the price of cotton at rarticu-
or standard, and thereby preventing
hose great fluctuations in prices. which
800 often prove disastrous to the planters,
and entail ruin and disappointment on
thousands Of our most industrious and
snterorising farmers, and also consequent
run upon the State, particularly when
nine-tenths of the taxes is paid by this
class Of citizens.
Our plan is to form a joint stock COM
panT With capital sufficiently powerful
TO control the market price of the cotton
produced in the Southern States; and we
want every planter who raises cotton to
become stockholder. We want board
: airectors in every county; State board
II very cotton State; and general and
96ervisory directory for the cotton States.
We want this to work like wheel within
2 wleel, from counties up to the general
" cotton States directory: in purchasing
j cotton that is likely to be forced on the
arket, which cotton is to be held by the
ronpany, and sold at standard price.
i.xed by the company, of which each
siockholder is to receive benefit in proper
ion to the amount of capital invested. A
standard price is to be fixed by the COM
panv, and no cotton is to be sold for less.
and in case the Northern and European
buyers will not pay the prices fixed BY
onr company, the corporation Is to e-e't
factories with portion of its capital and
manufacture it into yarn and cotton goods
20 De sold for the benefit of the stockhold-
e,s. And in this way to control the price
of our raw material, and make ourselves
masters of the situation.
Why IS it that the cotton planters Of
the Scathern States cannot unite for their
mutual advantage? Our commercial men
can unite and hold conventions for their
mutual advancement. and have noticed
that many of our most intelligent planters
are appointed delegates to these conven-
tons, when their proper business, in my
opinion, would be to use their infuenc'
md all their intelligence in getting np&r
ricultural conventions and in building nr
she interest ant. the fortunes Of their own
hardworking class, Our speculators can
iorm cliques and unite their capital to
Keep down the price of our raw material,
aad to secure to themselves all the ac;v n
i.a,s of a rise in prices. And why can
nj our agriculturistssnnite their brains
ac thei: money for their mutual protec-
on. and thus drive out from amongst
he.n these ruinous classes Of men, and
lise themselves from state of penury
ard dependency to that of affluence and
power?

hypocritical conduct, under the garb OF
aphilanthropist and Republican, has won
the utter detestation of all classes and
