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.

Telegraphic Markets.
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.

A special from the lava beds sajs that Captain
Hasbrouck’* scouting party Were attacked by the

engaged. When the last courier left the troops
were between the Indians and their lava strongholds.
Captain Hasbrouck thinks that the Indians are nearly

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
