THE ATLANTA DAILY VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1873. NO. 115 The Daily Herald WEDNESDAY. JUlY 14, 1873. Thr Atlanta Hally and Weekly Herald Contain more Heading Matter this any atUer Paper in Georgia. Tlte Circulation or the Dally Herald is noxv Unsurpassed by that of any paper in this Section of the State. NO BOGUS 8PKCIAL»S OURS. The Constitution of yesterday, under the head of “Specials,” ijave two pretended dis patches, one from Dalton and the other from It a ford, on the Air Line railroad. The Her ald gave both items of news and so did onr neighbor, the Sun, and yet neither claimed them as anything more than news furnished their reporters on the arrival of the trains. The funniest part of the business is, that one “dispatch” is dated from Buford, and there is not any telegraph line there, or anywhere else on the road. IIow different it is with the Herald! Onr New Orleans dispatches come over genuine telegraph wires. This morning onr St. Louis, Macon and Augusta news, are also bona fide dispatches which cost us large sums of money. The Herald doesn't indulge in bogus “specials;” hence, everybody reads it and looks for it every morning with anxious interest. James L. Orr. From the New York Herald. One after another our prominent public men are passing away, and many of them, we regret to saj\ before they have filled the meas ure of ripe years and while a career of useful ness was before them. It is but the other day that James L. Orr was at this office, appar ently iu good health, on the eve of his depar ture for St. Petersburg, he having been ap pointed Minister to Kussia. He had hardly reached the Russian capital when death struck Lim down. Though a statesman of long and varied experience he was ody fifty-one years old when he died. He was born at Crayton- ville, Anderson district, South Carolina, May 12, 1822. His immediate ancestors were from North Carolina, and of Scotch-Irish extrac tion. John Orr, his grandfather, was a pa triot soldier in the Revolutionary war. James L. Orr was educated at the University of Vir ginia—that noble institution from which many statesmen have sprung. He became a lawyer, and in 1844 he was elected to the State Legislature. His political life began, then, when he was twenty-two years of age. Early in life he was elected to Congress, and while there he opposed the admission of Cali fornia and the compromise measures of Henry Clay, and in 1851 attended a meeting in ('harleston to consider the expediency of with drawing South Carolina from the Union. At that time Mr. Orr threw the whole weight of Lia opinions and efforts in favor of what was then known as the co-operation party. Al though regarding the right of a State to se cede l'rom the Union as one of its attributes of sovereignty, he opposed its exercise as a measure of policy, and was largely influential in carrying the State on this issue. He sub sequently voted for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and, though originally elected as a M'hig, he generally acted with the Demo cratic party after entering Congress. In the Thirty-fifth Congress he was chosen Speaker, and was remarkable for his impartiality and justice. In 18G0 he went with his State into seces sion, and as a member of the South Carolina Convention he affixed his name to the ordi nance of secession from the Federal Union, lie was one of the commissioners appointed l>y that body to proceed to Washington and confer with the government, and was subse quentiy designated as commissioner to the State of Georgia. Mr. Orr, during the late straggle, served in the Confederate Congress as one of the Seuators from his State. As a rebel he was one of the General Lee class, who went into rebellion and secession because their education in the doctrine of State sov ereignty had convinced them that primary ellegiance was due to the State, and not to the Union. When the Confederacy fell with the surrender of Leo he set to work at “recon structing” in a very sensible way. He did more than “accept the situation” in words; lie told his slaves they were free, and arranged with them to continue work lor a share of the profits. Iu the Reconstruction Convention restoring South Carolina to the Union, of which he was also a member, he was the lead ing man on the progressive side of all ques tions, and he was in his views greatly in ad vance of that body. “I am tired of South Carolina as she was,” said he, in a speech in the Convention, “I covet for her the material prosperity of New' England; I would have her acres te*m with life and vigor and industry and intelligence, as do those of Massachu setts.” He went into rebellion so easily and got out of It so readily that there was at first some disposition to distrust his leadership; but while conservative even as a member of the Republican party he continued to stand in the foreground ot the movement toward a more Republican form of government. This led to his being chosen Governor of his State in 1HC5 to succeed General B. F. Perry, whom he had beaten for Congress in his first canvass in 1848. He was the first and best constitu tional Governor South Crrolina has had under the new order of things. In 1808 Governor Orr supported the nomination of General Grant for the Presidency, and he was a mem ber of the Philadelphia Convention last sum mer which pronounced in favoi of Grant’s rcuomination and re-electioo. As a member of that body he made an eloqnent appeal in behalf of Grant and the Republican party. His services were rewarded by the appoint ment of Minister to Russia. In all the positions of public life Mr. Orr filled he showed the ability and qualities of a statesman, striving rather to do that which was best and practicable under the circum stances than adhering to impracticable theo ries. In conse aence of this, he was never popular with the old school of strict construc tionists in his 8tate and the Booth. He was genial, kind, a charming companion, an excel lent citizen in all the relations of life, and was greatly beloved by all his friends. If Mr. Orr did not quite reach the standard of the few men occupying the first rank of statesmen in the history cf the Republic—of such men as Clay, Webster, Hamilton and Jefferson—he was only just below them, and, had he lived, might have reached a higher position than he attained. His death is a loss to the South which needs all her able, practical and expe rienced public men, as well as a loss to the whole country. THE FIREMEN. Herald Special Report from Augusta.

The Life of the Pop* is a subject on which we might imagine the world could afford to express itself with a strict regard for troth. For some weeks past the chief cities of Eu rope .bare noitsd in a conspiracy to befog the .-frtTolie on' the matter. He is killed in one city one day. and, before the news has time to grow cold. His Holiness is resurrected in some other city tho next day. Berlin and London have deprived him of life. Paris has liad its torn in the mortuary announcement, and even Borne has harried him before bis time into the ranks of the subjects for necrol ogy. In Canada the news of Papal fatility wee sent abroad as soon as he bed been taken out of his winding sheet in Europe. Pope Pius is doubtless old and infirm, and may not long survive in this fallible world; but while lie still breathes the breath of mortal life, we think the rumorists might spare him a pre mature immortality. NEW YORK. The Moiloes Found—The Pope. New York, May 13, 1873. A special from the lava beds sajs that Captain Hasbrouck’* scouting party Were attacked by the Xodoca and completely surprised.

Captain Hasbrouck thinks that the Indians are nearly out of ammunition. A special to the Herald says the Pope passed a sleep less night, being much disturbed by a cough. A Times Washington special eaya that the President yesterday pronounced as pure inventions the state ments of the telegraph yesterday that he proposed in stituting a high-handed proceeding in Louisiana.
