THE LATE MINISTER ORR.-The following
letter, with the accompanying copy Of a de.
spatch from Prince Gortschakof, was received
by w. Y. Leitch, Esq, of Charleston, staunch
and lifelong friend Of the late Judge Orr:
ST. PETERSBURG, April 81, 1873.
BARON: We have just performed the last
duties to Mr.. Senator Orr, Envoy Extraordina.
ry and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United
States of America at the Imperial Court, who
died at st. Petersburg on the 23rd of April.
MAY 81 Although he had entered upon his
duties but short time previously, Mr.. j. L..
Orr had made most favorable impression upon
the minds of all who had been brought into
contact with him. His Majesty the Emperor
had deigned to receive him with special kind
ness, and for my part, had only reason to
congratulate myself upon the personal rela-
tions existing between us. need not tell you,
therefore, how deeply his sudden death has
affected us all, nor how general is the regret
felt in consequence thereof. The sentiments
entertained by me are shared by our august
master, and it is by order of his Imperial
Majesty that request you to bring them to the
knowledge of the American Federal Govern
ment. Receive, &C.,
GORTSCHAKOFF.

Agricultural Journals.
HAMILTON FISH.

We are in receipt of the June number of the
Rural Carolinian, and find its pages teeming
with choice and we'll selected matter of more
than ordinary interest to agriculturists. The
publishers seem determined to fully maintain
its Justly earned reputation as superior mag
azne, and are deserving of success in their
praiseworthy efforts and laudable undertaking,
which not only contribute to individual sue
cess, but materially assists in the development
of our resources and wealth as people. No
planter or farmer should be without this pub
lication, if he desires success in the honorable
vocation of his life The terms are extremely
reasonable, only 50 per annum for single sub
scribers, with liberal inducements to clubs.
The June number of the Southern CHAirator
is promptly on our table. This reliable and
practical journal is the Oldest favorite of the
farmers in this section, and continues to enjoy
the confidence and receive the patronage of the
best agricuturists all over the South. 1t de-
serves this success, and will amply repay the
small investment necessary to secure its regular
visits. A young farmer, whose subscription
we forwarded several months ago, declares that
he has received back the worth of his money
at least ten-fold.

Adjournment of Court.

The business of the May Term of the Circuit
Court was completed within three days, begin
ming on Tuesday morning and closing on
Thursday afternoon. The juries were dis
missed on Wednesday, and only two cases were
tried in the Sessions. Thursday was occupied
with the hearing of equity cases before his
Honor, in which the issues were unimportant.
We give summary of the criminal business:
Warren Sanders, Prince Walker, Washington
Harrison and Alexander Carr, all colored men,
were indicted for burglary and larceny, and the
jury found them guilty of petit larceny. A
motion was made to set aside the verdict as to-
Prince Walker and Warren Sanders, and the
Solicitor subsequently entered mol pros. as to
these parties. Washington Harrison and Alex
ander Carr were sentenced to pay fine of $50
each and costs, or Imprisonment in Jail for four
months
Miller Washington, Samuel Swinger, Edward
Crooks and Lewis Williams, all colored, were
indicted for riot, assault and battery. The jury
returned verdict of guilty as to Crooks and
Williams, and they were sentenced each to pay
a fine of $25 and costs, or two months impris-
onment.
Christie Rice, coored, was indicted for as
sault and battery, with intent to kill, and plead
guilty as to assault and battery. He was SEN
fenced to Jail for two months, or to pay fine
of $25, with the costs.

Ba% The Camden Journal records the death
of Col. Phineas B. Tompkins, citizen of Ian
caster County, whose death occurred in Camden
on the oath ult-, in the 43rd year Of his age.
Col. Tompkins was native of New York, and
was once Clerk of the House of Representatives
in Congress. He was Federal officer during
the war. and soon after the conflict ended, he
removed to South Carolina, and purchased an
interest in Haile's gold mine, in the neighbor-
hood of Camden. In 1870, he was elected
Senator from Lancaster, but was ousted from
his seat by fraud, although the Senate Commit
tee reported in his favor. Col. Tompkins was
q gentleman of culture and extensive travel,
and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.

Homestead Decision.

In the Circuit Court for Sumter County,
before Judge John T. Green, a rule was issued
against the Sheriff to show cause why he should
not be attached for contempt in not selling the
homestead of defendant under an execution
in favor of the plaintiff, on debt contracted
prior to the adoption of the State Constitution
Upon hearing the return of the Sheriff, and
argument upon motion to make the rule abb
solute, Judge Green granted the motion, and
signed the order to that effect, requiring the
Sheriff to sell the property of defendant known
as the homestead, Or in the event of his failure,
the Sheriff to be attached for contempt in not
obeying the process of the Court. Further,
that the claim for homestead, which was setu
in this case, appeared to the Court in violation
of the provisions of the Constitution of the
United States.
This ruling of Judge Green is in accordance
with the recent decision of the Supreme Court
of The United States, and is founded thereon,
that the Homestead Law is no defence or pro-
lection against debts contracted prior to the
adoption of the State Constitution. We pre-
sumo that the penalties affixed by the law for
noncompliance with the provisions of the
Homestead Act, in setting off homestead
when requested SO to do, will deter Sherifs
from proceeding against the homestead of
judgment debtors, until the Circuit Courts
issue rule against each Sheriff demanding a
compliance with the recent decision of the
Supreme Court. One case in each County will
suffice to exonerate the Sheriff from the penal
ties above referred to, and the beginning made
in Sumter will doubtless extend throughout
the State. The disposition in this County is to
await further developments before an effort is
made to levy and bring to sale the homesteads
of unfortunate debtors, and it is not probable
that property of this description will be levied
upon prior to the fall months, when money
will become more plentiful. In the meantime,
compromises can be effected the more easily
and satisfactorily to all parties.

The New Minister to Russia.

1t appears that the announcement made in
reference to Ex-Gov. Jewell, of Connecticut,
declining the mission to Russia, was totally
incorrect. He was on tour through the
Northwest when the President decided to offer
him the position, and upon his return home
few days since, after giving due consideration
to the offer, he concluded to accept the dis
tinguished honor. The new Minister expects
to leave New York some time during the pres
ent month, and will proceed straightway to
st. Petersburg.

Tribute of Respect,

The following tribute of respect to the Hon.
James L. Orr, deceased, was submitted to the
Court on Thursday last, at the request Of the
Bar. The resolutions were presented by the
senior member, Hon. J. P. Reed, and we are in
formed that Judge Carpenter directed the Clerk
to spread the resolutions upon the journals of
the Court, and forward copy of the same to
the family of the deceased, in accordance with
the request therein made. AS a further mark
of respect to the deceased, his Honor announced
that the Court would then adjourn:
WHEREAS, the intelligence of the death of
James Lawrence Orr, late our distinguished
associate and fellow-citizen, whilst discharging
the duties of the high trust of Envoy Extraor-
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the
Government of the United States to the Court
of st. Petersburg, Russia, has been received by
the members of this Bar and people of this
community, where he was longest and best
known, with feelings of profound and mex
pressible sorrow and whereas, it is eminently
proper that some tribute should be paid to the
memory of one so distinguished in life and la
mented in death upon this theatre, where he
laid the foundation and reared the superstruc-
ture of that great character which, whilst en-
craving his name on the imperishable tablets
of their memories, constrains his countrymen
to stand weeping around his honored bier. Be
it therefore
Resozred, That the members of this Bar have
heard of the death of their late distinguished
associate and friend, Judge James L. Orr, with
profound grief; and that whilst his loss is to
the whole country a public calamity, it is to
this community absolutely irreparable. Take
him GALL in ALL" he was the man of a century,
and We can scarcely hope "to look upon his
like again."
Resolued, That we tender to his stricken and
bereaved family the assurance of our heartfelt
sympathy in their great afaiction.
ResOlved, That with the permission of the
Court, which is respectfully asked, these pro-
ceedings be entered on the minutes, and that
the Clerk furnish copy of the same to the
family of the deceased

OBsEQUIEs OVER THE REMAINS OF JAS. L.
ORR-A letter to the New York Tribune, from
St. Petersburg, dated May the 9Th, says: The
diplomatic career of Governor Orr came to a
painful end before it was fairly begun. 1t is
not quite two months since he arrived in St.
Petersburg and presented his credentials to the
Emperor. He was suffering at the time from
a severe cold, contracted during the Atlantic
passage, and about week after his formal in
stallation in his new office he was forced to
take his bed. From that day he did not leave
his apartments. Cold settled on his lungs, and
afterwards passed to his liver, so that his blood
became seriously affected. No serious result
was apprehended, however, and on Friday,
four DAYS before he died, his friends thought he
was slowly yet steadily improving; but on
Monday last the change came, and he died
quite suddenly at o'clock. The funeral SER
vices were celebrated to-day at the chapel OF
the English American Society. There was no
discourse, and the pastor simply read the I'M,
pressive ritual of the Church of England, and
closed with short prayer. The IS gloomy little little
some dozen ladies, English and American, half
dozen American gentlemen in black, and
thirty or forty diplomats in their brilliant, yet
sombre Court costumes. The Austrian Am
bassador was there and the Ministers Of Brazil,
Italy, Greece and the attaches of other lega-
tions as we'll as of the foreign office. Mr.. ]. L.
Orr, jr, the solitary family mourner, stood side
by side with Gen. Pomutz, the Consul, who
wore the familiar uniform of Brigadier Cen
eral of the American army. The scene was
indescribably sad. After the rector had fin:
ished the service, the diplomatists walked
around the coffin and dropped each upon it a
little sand. The civilians present did the same

Rg~ Monday last was the dullest saleday on
record in the annals of Anderson. Not SO
much as the ghost of a public sale could be
stirred up, and only a few people from the
country were in town. The Sheriff has not
even advertised property for the last two
mopths, showing that creditors and debtors are
on most excellent terms with each other, to the
disadvantage of public officers and newspapers.
