Ex-Governor Chamberlain having beeni sworn in as a memlber of the Ncw York blar, and having opened a lat oflice ini that city, h~as beenl in ter\ iewed by a r(.ior(teI of tlhe New York iv.raidd. ''he reporter draws the iollowing pen-picture of i he ex (overnor "Given a small but compactly built figure, say five feot nine inches in height, wiy, elastic 'a al well po'ised ; a face full of (Juik' intelli gence: a pair of blue eyes that never speak so elojguently as when they 111ae the telltales c'f some intellectual thought; a heal prematuirely bahl. but with all of its phrenlojogical knolls symnathetically developed ; a method 'of speech at. onco clean cut.. corree 1a11(1 pronouncd, as if every word was m1ahLsureI in it scale. and the reader has a skeleton pen picture of ex-Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, who has recently occupied sulch1 it conSpicuous place n the political gallery of the nation, Ind who now proposes to settle in Ne v Tork for the practice of law." Plmi ging at once i n inl((dvi'a res the reporter asked Mr. Chamberlain his views upon the present coidition of South Carolina. The' reply was that the Democrats are practically in full control, 11o ei'eetive opposition in any way being made by the Re i)mlhicans. Mr. Chamberlain added : ihe contest for the control of the State was bitter and violeni. I have heretofore publicly stated my views of the methods employed by the Democratic party and sullicient ly emphasized my condemnation of many of them. It is afact, however, that now there is peace and good order throughout l1: State, altho h 1 I do not think that this shioubd h to any (xtent re' arded as t just.itieation of the illeg''"I or vnoCIt mneasures that were resorted to for the purpose of obtaining con trol. Still, it may be recognized as t fact that so far in the Stato at large there have been no outrages of power or abuse of the colored p~eo ple or Repnblicans generally." In answer to the question what in his opinion would have been the result if he had been sustained by Iis own party at home and by the Fedieral administration, he said "The) contest is now over and I (1o not care to parcel out the blame for present results or to appear to reflect upon particular individuals :)r dlepaIrtmen'ts of governmient. Tihis, however, I can say with coni lidence, that if I had been enabled to carriy out f-lhe plans11 and purp~losos I. N exrcssed inl miy inaugural imos mnge of Decemlfber 1, 1874, I should have achieved all that Genoral EIamp~ton has dlone. Pr'obably his~ full term of oflie~ Will be required to] develop his p)lan.s. Had I had thei samne time I should have offectod1 the samo11 results. My plrimoe object was Ithe restoraLtion of government] umd an honest administration, and I think it is generally admiutted thati what I proposed to this end was sylmpathectic with the wishes of the intellig'ent commun 1li ty. I bedlievo th'mt I p~ursue1d those plans consist ontly and with some degree of Arm-. laess and courage. It is trute that I] w;as not suWccssful, but those who1 have \vateced tihe courso of events in fh'o State are ~1perhafps better rinalified than I am to see wvho is ro sponsible for the failure ; I certainly do not feel that I atm. I am still of the opinion that a better Condition of affairs wvould havo boon reachedl under-my adminitration than under1 that of General Hampton, becanso no man's civil or p)olitical rights1 wvould have boon abridged or denied.I As I have already intimated, I regard the present supremacy of the D)emo cratic party as due to methods: which disregarded the political i'ights of aL groat numnber of the citi zons of a State. There was a large majority of the peCoplO of South Carolina entitled to vote who desired ai continuance of the Republican ad ministration, and( I (10 not think that General Hampton represents this element. Still I believe ho Will endeavor to make a good and horsest goveornmonlt so far as' its financial and practical (departnents are on cerned." lie continued, "I regardel the ignoranco and inoxperienee of~ the masses of the Republican party in South Carolina as one of the in hereIt and. great difficulties in the political problom. I wais inder the poltical necessity of making politi Call applointmenlts to ofiees from at party which, as t rule, was not able to furnish competent oflic'ors to rep resent tle government. LEANING ON A BROKEN REND. "1 re was tho greatest of my difliculties. T[hie majority of the 1Republicalns iii the Legislature woro never heartily in synpa thy with me during any portion of my ilrst term of olico. Nearly all the public mieasurer in which I took a de1) imterest were passed by minorities of Republicans and Doinocrats. The reduntion of taxes and a more econo)mhical eignditure of publioc funds wcro 'n iturally tho leading objects which Ih11ad in view; and hero it is but justice to say that I met with abrost entire opposition within the ranks of the Republican pal'ty. ' Of course my idea of the way in which ia refor'nation must bo brought about was through the lRepublican parl y, heimise I knew that a miajori. tv of the peoiple of the State were attached to that party, and that I here wis no hopo h: inducing them to join any other organization, oven for local State purposes. But th6 habits of legilsation which had grown up11 betw e i 18.8 'and 1874 were too strong for me, and the re sult was that I Was overeeno and ily policy only partiailly carriCl out. A great dea1l of evil wias prevented and some positive good Was done, but only a small fraction of the results which were within the power of tho' liepub iclan party, had it co-operat ed with me, was made evident. I feel bound to say that if I had beon heartily supported from 1874 td 18;,' the state of feelhig' which pro.' ceded the nomination- ('f Geniral' ILtupton would not have existed. In brief, if my administiation had beer. supported by the -whole Re publican party. it would have de prived the )onocrats of their griev anco's and made thom ac'quiesco in the supremacy of the 'Ropublican party for a long series of years." In reply to the question whether he received symnpathy or support from his former political - opponents in the State, Mr. Chamberlain said: "I am glad you have asked the question. I answer, mnOst assured ly I did, and no change of circun stances in political fortunes will over lead me to deny or depreciate the generous and hearty support which the best men of South Caro lina and cf the 1)oniocratic party pledged me from 1874 down to the Lime of tiao nominfttion o( Hampton in the fall of 1876 It was generous becaase they recognized 'that my policy meant the wolfaro of the Stato, and that so far as this was eoncerne(d mere political considora, tions had no weight. I'd ubtif any public man was ever moi-o heartily inr unselfishly supported by p)olitiCal opploneiuts thtan I was by the DomoM arats of South Carolina during the period hd which I refoe-. Our sub-. iCequent1 d iffrences occurrod from >thor causes than thme want of symna p)athy between their viowvs and mine ipon gne'stions of practical adminis iration within the State0." The reporter thon requested to muow the ex -governor's opimion as o "the ability of the colored pooplo ~o take possession ol; a government md logislate in their own wvay." The mnswer was as follows: "I think the colathed peoplo are rust as competent to legislat6 and .nuta government as ady other p~eoplb who hamve had' as little educa4 bion andl exp~eriene'o. They odily want brains. It is idle to expect Linder. any circumstances a good govo'nmont Iwithout a large pro pondleranco of intelligence. Thie strength of every community in the Union is mean'sred by this fact. WVhile, therefore, I do not reflect on Lhe colored race'in saying thatt they were badly prepared for the task Ihey assumned, I htill contodd that meccessful self-government, under the law of universal suffrage, re cluires education, intellectual train, ing and a large amount of' accumu ited political experiel-in short, ur understanding of the' duties of oitizonship. Concerning the inten. Lions of the masses of the colored people of South Carolina, I think they are honest. 'Their mnisfortune has been that they were not able'td anticipate or follow the effeeta'b measu'es that were enacted by th'eh' . repro'sentativos intil these measugef' had taken root and wrought thehK V evil results. And' then 'they were Cnntd on fonrth mpn ..
