complimentary Banquet to Judge Orr.

A. farewell entertainment was given
to Judge Orr, by the citizens of Ander-
son c. H., on the evening of Saturday,
the 25th inst, at the Waverly House.
About one hundred persons were present.
representing the business and profess
sional men of the town. B. f. Crayton,
ESQ.,, presided, and the Hon. J. P. Reed
made the welcoming address.
From the report of the InteNigenccr,
Mr.. Reed made ian appropriate and
telicitous speech; recounting the princi-
nal eveuts of the last thirty years with
which the Judge had been connected,
and warmly conveying the sentiments
of those assembled towards Judge Orr
personally. He dwclt at some leugth
upon the public career of Judge Orr, and
the various stations which he lad filled
at home and abroad, retaining the con-
fidence of his neighbors for honesty and
integrity Of purpose, even when they
were compelled 10 differ from him po-
litically, under peculiar circumstances,
and surrounded by all anomalous condl'
ton Of affairs. -.
"The remarks of Mr.. Reod were re.
uucutly applauded, and when he had
concluded Judge Orr arese to respond
which was the OCCASION of fresh out
burst of applause. We will not attempt
full synopsis of his speech, which wa:
grateful and graceful acknowledge
ment of the compliment rendered him
rcplete with interesting "reminiscences o.
our town and its past history, and CON
.. To M
referring to politics incidentally. lie
was deeply affected by the demonstra:
ton, and frankly admitted that his con-
sequent embarrassment was greater thar
upon any previous OCCASION since he mac
been in public life. In alluding, to the
important mission with which he has
been entrusted, Judge Orr stated thai
the appointment was not due 80 much
to his personal merit or public services
as to desire on the part Of the admins
tration to fully recognize the South rs
an integral part Of our common country
entitled to its honors and cmoluments
and to share in the distribution OF I'M.
1 portant trusts. The appointment was
likewise more hattering to him and to
his section, because General Grant had
determined upon it without solicitation
from any quarter, and without consult
| ing any of tile Cabinet in making the
selection. He further stated that it was
his purpose, on returning from Russia
to again abide in this community, AND
end his days among his earliest friends
and supporters, which utterance was
vociferously applauded."
Upon the conclusion OF. the Judges
speech, there followed the drawing o.
corks, the drinking of toasts, the discus
sion of the good things provided, and Q
number of short, pithy speeches, aftel
which the assembly dispersed at II
o'clock, every one present bidding the
Judge goodbye. Hc left for Washing
ton on the following Tuesday.

Modoc country, twenty-three years ago.
and afterward commissioned by the state
to protect the frontiers till the genera,
government would send troops to do so.

twenty men to my one. If the general

a conf renee. 4Afftlr they'd got thar I'd
knock In the head o the bar1ela, and scat
ter the knives all round loose, so they'd
be handy. Then I'd go away and leave
the Injuns to themselves. OF course
they'd take the whisky aud the knives,
and before sundown thar wouldn't be
more than one redsi1in left, and then I'd
go as2d knock his brains out afore he
could do any mere damage. That sir's,
the only real way to settle the Injun
