It is with regret thereforeLy that wo lay before our readers this morn- jr ing anything that savors of strifo ; yet in wj accordance with our duty to give ouri(j * readers information on both sides of the I k question, wo publish the second JVckMu York Herald interview with Gen. Gary. | n, Last week wo published interview the k first, along with the emphatic reply of cr Senator Hampton and the editorial com- m inents of the Herald. If Gary had been in desirous of consulting only public inter- hi <ests, the words of Hampton and the Her- fu old wxmld have been wise and well-timed h but as it would appear by his own con- T; <* fession that lie is seeking notoriety* at the nr risk of public interests, we regret that tli the first interview was not ignored entire- fa ly, at leant by Hampton. Our noblest natures aro most credulous, and Senator Hampton did not sec tho net spread for p( him by tho wary Geueral Gary. Hamp- fG ton did just what Gary wished?he repli- sa ed, and, of course. Gary has a second interview. The modo of the reply was of 00 small consequence to Gary?he coinpia- tu cently accepts Hampton's direct denial of his chargcs and says there is no issue of uj veracity between them. It would appear hr that it was not veracity ho was after, but dt publicity by which to create for himself [jj popularity at the expense of Hampton. 8e But if Hampton's mistake was great, Ga- fin ry'a was vastly greater* Gen. Gary has r1' committed somw serious blunders as a fr( public man but this is the great bluu- ne der ot his life. Ho chose the right me- sh dium?the New York Herald?by which ^ to creato a sensation ; but he chose the jf * wrong man when he attacked Hampton fjr for the purpose of creating popularity. so The first interview recites the old, old ^ story of Gary's wrongs su lie red at the Vs hands of Hampton, which may be news to the northern readers ot the Herald; X the people cf South Carolina have it by heart. Since '76 it lias appeared at different timos, in different journals, underj.different names, but still tho same old story,? Protean in name but not in shape. With most of it the people have nothing to do: . c hf all but one portion of it is weary, stalo and flat to them, and events have shown Je it has not been profitable to General Gary. The people tako no interest in the se "Rickett's Battery" business, Hampton's yr "pet"' major, the many slights which, ac- ^ cording to Gary, his patient merit of the g unworthy took during the war and the ^ campaign of '76; and they only knowingly smile when Gary complacently says of his opposition to Hampton's policy in tlje State Senate that '"he awoke, like Byron, and found himself famous wj t , throughout the South." These are merely personal concerns between Hampton . and Gary, and the people attach as little importance to them as Hampton does. j^a In all the various attacks made on hiin by Gary or in Gary's interest, Hampton or has been silent except in this one instance when his acts as our Chief Magistrate were called in question. With. similar indifference, slightlv t01 mingled with amused surprise, however, f()1 ti>n nAnnln reorard the wonderful things % said by Gen. Gary in the first interview c" about Southern sympathy with the dccla- dij ration of au Empire under Emperor ?f Ulysses ; and about Tilden as being the choice of the people of tho whole South | P'1 for next President. These and other j statements aro so passing strange that we should have had difficulty in believing ' the "interview" was genuine and should er have looked upon it as a Herald sensation cu and a grim joke on South Carolina, but ^ for the unmistakable language used ? which like the speech of the Galileans ..j "bewrayeth" General Gary. l/ehassev- "s eral remarkable traits of character, this "/ among "them?he expresses all the various 4,g tones iu tho gamut of feeling by the use ??c - of oaths. And the profane expressions '* *' frequently introduced in the first inter- 8U view to convey sentiments of pity, indig- th nation or emphasis, ^furnish sufficient m proof of its genuineness. The first interview is well spiced with oaths and su- 0f per-strong expressions that it would be 80 unjust to Gary to interpret in any other hi ? than a Garian sense. For instance, when as ho says "Tlie wnoie souin wouia vote ior hj Tilden. Whoever tells you it won't, tells te a lio." Of course Gary didn't mean that. We like to hear a man call a spade a spade, th but it is necessary that there be a spade in ^ existence to bo so called. General Gary always speaks in unnecessarily strong ^ Saxon, although no man knows better tjj than ho that words full of sound and fury be generally signify nothing. The second interview contains no pro- je fanity and few violent remarks. It is ie{ . simply a continuation of the last part of an the first interview, wherein ho made a bitter attack on Senator Hampton's conduct q? in '76, charging him with having "sold out" Tildento Hayes. This unwise and unpatriotic attack was evidently tho end sought in both interviews. Indeed Gary on , says, ''Oh, I know it will raise the devil, eri but it might as well come out." Shrewd 118 men might ask if "it" was brought out a' ? ?? na- > j?mom n:j n?.. I m? just "to raiselueuevui i/iu uur; u?- i dire to enjoy another Byronicawakening? | ha The assertion that Hampton was trcach- stc erous to Tilden didn't ''raise the devil" ca three years ago when in similar terms it WJ was made by "A Tilden Democrat" in on the Augusta Chronicle and, Sentinel; and of if there was any danger of his being ni raised now, he has been effectually laid! to by Senator Hampton's reply to the first Se interview, which our readers read last ti< week and whicli renders it unnecessary er for us to vindicate Hampton. In the sec- hi ond interview tho chargo is repeated with pc some changes. For a triumphant refuta- gc tion of it in its second form we refer our G< readers to the letter published by Gen. to McGowan in '77 replying to the letter of pi "A Tilden Democrat," which we re-pub- cl lish this morning. That letter renders it pi unnecessary for Hampton to say one al word or lift his pen in reply to Gary. c It is futile in Gary to make these vio- v< lent attacks on Hampton. Such a course th can only result in alienating from Gary b.' the small following which he may have to had. The people do not care though Gary m plays the|woman and casts up ia Hamp- A ton's teeth old trifles about the war; they sc do not care though Gary querulously and j ti< almost tearfully says "Hampton isanpry | m Wltn me:"?"it 13 oilier prejuuice uihi 1 yi hatred to me:"?"He has long hated me:" ta ?"I have always had his bittorand unre- le lenting opposition to carry, and I suppose A he will continue to keep me down until H he or I die." This may amuse but it does al not deeply interest the people. But they ar do care for Hampton and will jealously ju guard his good name, and any man who fa assails it need expect no support from to them. They will leave him to join the ar army of the discontented?an army dis- pc tingaished for the great number of its of- hi ficers and the small number of its pri- ju vates. so We do not presume to advise Gen, dt <Jary, but wo sincerely regret that he and vi his friends should act as if he can rise on- hi ly on the ruin of others. Nor will it do h( ^^ft ?1 ** ? tMnwfvri* nnrl tvir a , V\f iVI U1UI VU jpi<\j bliv tuat uuu v*j v*? fx ahifl the blame to Hampton. Hampton W is not perfect, for he is human and he in- pi suits divinity who expects perfection in 1 to humanity. For example, Hampton erred th greatly, wo think, when he took the trou- tli bte to reply to Gary's charges. We should si Jiave preferred to seo him treat them according to the wise Palmerstonian policy (rr of silence. But among Hampton's faults e> the people have failed to discover any- w MHL' -^ _ n i'ii - ?'i- ^ >.. ft MBMMHttBBaMHnaBNMHM ling like vindictiveness or personal pci 'cution and it will be difficult for Gar rany man to fix tliifc stigma on bin u the contrary lie has forborne to a di ree worthy of admiration when persoi Uy and unjustly attacked. For Gary ike more than for Hampton's lot i ave no more such "interviews." Ma arv will be more thought of in Sout arolina as the friend than as the enem f Wade Hampton. If Gary desires idgment in the hearts of the people < lis Stato let him not think be must fin rive Hampton out therefrom. Gar nows as well as wo do that Hampton ic only man in the Stato to-day who* ?me has the magic power to make th usbandman of the sea-coast or the hil uintry leave the plough in the furrov onnt his mule and rido twenty miles t ;ar him speak. This may be disagree.' e to Gary but it is true. We are a grat< il people and do not and cannot forg< ampton's heroic services in the pas he memories of 76 aro sufficient glial ity to Wade Hampton that his hold o ie nearts 01 our peopio is strong an st now and for all time. In '77, in the issue of the PreM an anncr which contained the "Tilde cmocrat" correspondence, we spoke a llows of Governor Hampton. What w id was true then and is true still: ? "We believe there is not a man on th ntinent who could have so successful! ought us through the late campaign a svernor Hampton. He has made ime which will give him a national rep ation for greatness of charactor, an is proved to the world that no one him rd men in South Carolina have half a uch influence as he has; yet, for al is, if there be any of his acts whic! em to the less informed to be shroudei mystery, the humblest citizen has th ;ht to eiiqniro into them. Trulj' groa en like Hampton have nothing to fea )m having tneir acts discussed in th iwspapers. Such publications onl ow up the lustre and greatness of th ue man. Since the publication of th tides of General McGowanand Colon* askell, Hampton will stand on highe ound than ever before. For these rea ns we think it well that the publicatioi tho letter of "A Tilden Democrat,' is made. Truth is mighty and will pre dl." Gorernorsliip Gone A-Begging?Con stitutionnl Difficulty.

Wha Abbeville Thinks Of It. rhe recent attack by General Gary up Senator Hampton has been very gen illy discussed by our people, and as fa we have been able to learn the Gener has injured himself in the public esti ition and has done Wade Hampton n rm. Up to this outbreak the Gar; )ck was somewhat improving from tw< uses. 1st. jHis opposition to Hamptoi is nearly lost sight of, and had been b; any forgotten. 2d. The unpopularit; his competitor General Hagood ha( ado many of our citizens iuditl'erent a either candidate. But this attack 01 :nator Hampton has revived old hostili ss and unpleasant recollections of Gon al Gary, and in our opinion, has lei m not a vestige of a showing for sup >rt in Abbeville County. General Ha lod's persecutions of our people am encral Gary's silencc oflatein referenc Hampton had placod Abbeville in th edicament of having no man of he loice in the field for Governor, and th obflbilitv was. if Hamntnn had bfifin 1p ono, that General Gary might havers 'Ivetl at least a part of the Abbevill >te. But now we believe he stands nc ie ghost of a chance of being supporte Y the people of his native county. It i i bo regretted if General Gary has bee isled by the recent publication in tli 'cw York Times of its erroneous de ription of Senator Hampton's recep an at the Abbeville Fair. If these state ents led him to believe this to be a pre tious time to attack Hampton it cei inly was a great mistake?so far t ast as regards the people of Abbevilh man ^ias only to offer an insult t ampton to find out how deeply an jidingly ho is fixed in their affections id to learn that they will resent any in rjr to him. They have a well-founde ith in his good judgment and in his in grity, as well as a belief in his desir id ability to be a trusty guardian of th :ople's interests, and any assailant c s will in Abbeville County receive st rebuke. General Gary was a yallan ldier in the war, and the country is in ibted to him for his distinguished ser ces in the Held, and is willing to accor m all tho praise he justly merits; bu > will excite the strongest oppositio issible whenever he strikes Hamptor 'ithout adulation or hero-worship, th sople have a greater regard for Hamj n than for any other living man, an iey will support no candidate wli links to recommend himself to thei itt'rages by antagonizing Hampton.

News and Courier by Col. D. W. Aiken, )- wo find the following: l" "My letter to the News and Courier of 's the 5th December from this pity must i3 have created a sensation, judging from . the editorials of the weekly press of the State, and the letters/?o and con I have h; received from tho State. I promised to yjgive your readers something to tliink i about and I succeeded, I have no words ' of reply for any of them but the Ncwj berry Jferald and Abbeville Press and it Banner. y "I know not the promptings thatsngerest, ed tiio editorials in the Press and Banner 19 when reviewing my letter, but they im:e press mo that the writer would be plcasie ed to bring me into disrepute with the . j people of tho State, and have them believe I would disrupt the party in power r> in South Carolina and abut the following o of the scalawags, whom everybody t_ ought to know I hato as I hate Old Sin. o If I misinterpret his motive. I ask pardon. If I do not, I would simply say to my 't Scottish friend, look to your own skirts, t. The people of South Carolina never have, and, perhaps, never will, fail to locate me correctly in any and every crisis that has n or may occur." ^ It is unnecessary in Colonel Aiken to try to signalizo tho Press and Banner for having commented unfavorably on his n "new departure" letter. Wo are not "s alone in our opposition to his vio<vs. e The press of the Suite almost unani- le mously has condemned them. As a Detne ocratic press it could not do otherwise. ^ y If Colonel Aiken desires to learn how his a "advanced" position is regarded in South su i- Carolina, let hjpi read tho numerous ex" tracts in Monday's yews und Courier, ~ and ho will liud therein "food for II thought." h As a Congressman, however, he ought St ^ to know that it is unparliamentary to it impugD motives, and still more unpar- ^ r liamentary to deal in personalities. Al? though a Congressman, he should bo po- W e e As to our "motive" and our "prompt!1 ings,"?in our remarks on his letter we r_ were prompted by no higher motive n than simply to reflect faithfully the opin" ions of his constituents. As to our "own skirts,"?while wo do not think Colonel Aiken can truthfully say they are loss clean than his own, still, even if as soiled as those of the average Congressman, thoy have nothing ?; whatsoever to do with tho matter in o question. As a Congressman ho should , know that the tn quoquc stylo of argu- so ? mentis of all styles the worst and weak0 est. e It. is a most remarkable thing that bc,r cause we justly and fairly commented * on his most remarkable letter, we are o charged wjth desiring to bring him "into ') disrepute with tlio people of the State." c The people may not remember, but Col. ' Aiken cannot have forgotten that tho 0 Press and Banner has aided no little in 1 bringing him into good repute with tho s people of tho State; has never failed to e publish his speeches and letters when iny teresting, and give him due prai?o for 8 them just as we now give hiui tho re- pi verso of praise for his strange letter. e We leave it to tho school-boys among o our readers to correct our Congressman's J grammar, in the last sentence quoted - above. ^ nm p Chief Justice Simpson. e Last Thursday tho General Assembly . elected Governor W. D. Simpson Chief r Justice to succeed Chief Justice Willard, y whoso term, it is maintained, will expire . on August 1, 1880. There was no other e candidate in the field for this high office, p and the quiet, unopposed election of Gov, . Simpson was in marked contrast to the Associate Justiceship election of two j weeks ago. r William D. Simpson was elected Lieutonant Governor on tho Hampton ticket . of '7t>, and re-elected to the .same ofiice in . '7S. When in December '78, Governor r Hampton was elected to tho United States Senate,Governor Simpson succeed- ? . ed him. As Chief Magistrate ho has 3 shown himself able, firm, and upright. * we nas uiscnargeu tne unties 01 ins nign !. position with the integrity, honesty, and if faithfulne-s which marked his life as a - privato citizen and member of the Bar. It will bo difficult to find in the Stato a ^ 8 worthy successor to him as Governor, 8 His long and successful career as a lawyer, his studious habits, and his judicial e cast of mind, admirably fit him for the s office of Chief Justice. And it needs a 0 man of the highest attainments asajurist, one literally learned in the law, to be able 0 to take the place of Chief Justice Wil^ lard, who, whatever may be said as to his '' political creed, is without doubt a very learned and a Vie Chief Justice.

Dcccinhcr It).?Tlic Intcrw between (ten. Mart W. Gary and a Herreporter, and the sharp reiolnder of SenaWade Hampton,denouncing Gary's statents us false, published in the Herald a few 's ago, have occasioned great excitement .'olumbia.and In fuet all ovitr South Curoi. For the past few days the matter has n discussed at the street corners, in the tiles of the State House and the hotels. It Hampton and Gary have hosts of warm ixls nnd supjtorters throughout tile State, I the people are very much excited over controversy between them. Opinions are Ided an to which one of the disputants lius advantages To-day I had short, informal crviews with a number of prominent mbersof the Legislature, which disclosed fact that-the Gary stock Is rising rapidly : iletlie stock of Hampton Is decidedly on wane. A distinguished Charlea'toulun rcrketl with considerable warmth: "Gary s much entitled to credence as Hampton, i I I want something more substantial than hitler's mere denial of the grave imputa- , is. The onus of disproving Gary's charges i s tiiere, and 1L will not do for him to retort denouncing them as false." One of the ling lawyers of the state, who has aiwiiys : II an ardent supporter of Hampton, re rived tliut the w hole thing is nn ugiy piece ; tuslness, and u few more such Interviews lid elect Gary Governor. OPINIONS ADVERSE TO ITAMPTON. nothcr prominent politician expressed iself In very pointed terms, declining that clfcclof Hampton's bitter denunciations i to make Gary ten-Md more popular t han ver was. I asked a leading colored lie lican of this city what the colored people uirht of tiie controversy, nnd he replied t. it was "no funeral" of theirs, but as far ic was concerned he would prefer to take y's word to that of Hampton. 80 uneasy e the opponents of Gary become that thoy making efforts to get him out of the race Governor. A proposition was actually de to-day to elect him Chief Justice If he | aid withdraw from the race. He declined proposition in unique style, declaring the would not take the position, for lie I serious misgivings as to his ability to fill office which required such profound lecal I nvledge. The people are on the qui vivc to Gary's reply to Hampton's charges. ENERA1. OAKY REPEATS HIS CHARGES. bis afternoon, with a view of ascertaining it. the gallant General was going to do ut it, I called upon him at his hotel, and h some difficulty induced him to reply to interrogatories, .as follows: ^respondent?General, I suppose you have a tho interview with Senator Hampton, ilishcd in the New York Herald. In which inserts that your statement relative to the dcllty ot some of the leaders of South Carta to Tllden In 187C. and In regard to the positionrnudc by Governor Hampton to i to withdraw the electors of the Democrattarty for President and Vice-President at mass meeting at Abbeville in 187H; also ceniing the meeting that night, at which mpton, To >mbs, McGowan, Cothrnn and ers were present, is utterly and absolteiy :e? eneral Garj'?I have. arrespoudeut?Have you anything tosuy epiy ? eneral Gary?Well, yes. In the first place, >w nie to say in that interview conccrnlng Tilden I assert simply what every one >ws and what has long since been publishill over the United states, via: thatTlldcu i sacrificed for the benefit of the South, 1 the allusions to Senator Hampton were how that the disposition to withdraw the . tors of the Democratic party for President I Vice President existed in South Carolina ly in ls7(J, and culminated in electoral id by and through which Hayes and iceler were unconstitutionally declared! :ted, the Republican party secured the con-; nance of their party in power, and the | ith, to some extent, the recognition of the trine of local self-government. Whether i as a wise trade or not Is a grave question icli the future must decide. This State Is | ccmctl now, and we aro all discussing tho1 question as U> who shall be President, and . on asked my honest opinion I have given a I ik reply, In which I have stated that Tili was sacrificed by some of the leaders and by the people of the South, and that If he jived the Democratic) nomination the sses of the South would again give him u ,rty and cordial support. MITOX nin ASK HIM TO *"WITHDRAW."

The! tlngulshed Senator Isngain mistaken ns to i !>?. !njr the author of the article alluded to j him. It is bitter prejudice and hatred to; , no doubt, that has and will continue to ueo him to believe that I am theuuithor or I plrer of every article thai dares to criticise public acts. He, like the rest of us, must, j bout complaint, receiveajnst criticism, in the people, whose servants we arc.' cry one in (South Carolina knows that hej es, and lias long hated 111c, as tlio Devil, ?

Without acquiescing, I answered i mpton that If he and the rest were resolv-! to do it, I wouldn't make war upon the I lduslon. It thus appears thai I tola Ilanip- f i then and there I regarded It as an net-of 1 IV*itli to the national democratic party, il I here repeat that 1 have always regard-1 It In t.ne lightof a treacherous dlsatl'ectlon i Tllden before his election. In suiting that, ic (Hampton) "and the rest were resolved Jo it, 1 would not make war upon the collision," I meant that I would obey orders in the headquarters of the Democraticparmy Judgment then and now being thai It >uld have proved fatal to the campaign, as vould, to nave niado an attempt to change nt, not only in the presence or t lie enemy, i t in the midst of the fight. It will be seen itthe reported interview docs not raise an uo of veracity upon the proposition that'I ve stated that he made to me, for he says lat I consulted with General Gary on this itterorany other during that canvass or ore It or si nee has entirely escaped my recection, if this ever occurred. Now let lator Hampton's memory be ns treacher} as it may, the above statement of what itirred between us at a mass meeting at Ab /Ilie in 1870, is the truth and nothing but ; truth. THE "HOT TIME" AT MBS.

I bete it Is true, because made to me by rcsponle parties and corroborated by General Gowan, since the appearance of Senator mpton's interview in the New York Herald reply to mine published lnthosatne pnper. an Interview with General McUowan lie > stated to me, In the presence of two genmen, first, that a meeting was held at the jsc of Mrs.Norwood, in the town of Abbelc, on the night of the day of the mass eting at Abbeville, In the year 1870; second it, Hampton, Toombs, McGowan, Colonel Lhran and others vorepresent: third, that tliis meeting Colonel Hoyt, a member of i State Executive Committee, was also isent.and that he (Colonel Hoyt) submitted that meeting ttic proposition to withdraw ! electors of the Democratic party for Presntand Vice President from the canvass of ! suite, and that there was iv hot time over discussion, and that he warmly opposed > proposition, which fell-through, and that nenil Wade Hampton ? now Senator mpton?was chairman and presided over : meeting, i take It that this will be un' sivc as to the facts that I hate stated in reel to I hat meeting being, as lief asserts in i interview, "utterly and absolutely false."

GARY AtfD HAMPTON A Frank Expression of the Views of I the Edgcfleld Senator?No Personal Opposition to Hampton, but a Conscientious Difference of Opinion. Columbia, December 17.?After several un- 1 successful attempts, I finally induced Gen. Gary to talk, lor publication, to-night. I ; found him in the Senate Chamber during the session. lie seemed in perfectly good humor, and a vol ilea anytmnc hko Diuerness lowaru anyboily. In reply to a general question regarding the difference between Gen. Hampton and himself, liesald: "You can say, for me. that I reciprocate the sentiments of The News and Courier as expressed In the editorial entitled the "Hampton and Gary Embroglio." I'm willing to make the scnool boy bargain with him [referring to Hampton,] and let him alone if he will me. I've always been willing to do that, and always said I'd let them alone If they'd let me alone too. I reiterate what I've often said before: That my opposition to Senator Hampton has never been of a personal charneter, but an honest and conscientious dlf- _ fercnce of opinion as to the policy of tho Senate and National Democracy. I have never Indulged In any opposition to Hampton himself." Gen. CSary stopped here to take part /or d. second In the Senate debate, and resumed: "I "SenatorHamptoii took the Initial step In the ] opposition, and I always propose to strike back when I'm struck. A contlict of idea* is like any other contlict. Yob'vo got to tight to win It, I-always have, and will, repel opposition with opposition. I desire the unity of the Democratic party as heartily as any man, and asa member of the party submitted to be Ragged in IM70, and to be dictated to by Hampton where and when I should and shouldn't speak, and If 1 ever received courtesy from him, or those associated with him, I don't know it. I am willing to retire from public life if it is necessary for the unity of the par- , ty, but I'm not to be driven out of It by any- t body. I know I am charged by Senator V Hampton with writing articles that I didn't write, but my tight has been open and not a secret one. I'm not that kind of man, I use neither mutlled dagger nor stilletto. I um willing to meet him or any other man in open political contest, if It is necessary. Even the interview published In the Herald was not a deliberate attack on Hampton or designed to do him Injustice, my only Idea j being to <lo Tllden Justice. My idea was to a give full justice to Tilden though I'm no (. champion of Ills. You can Hay now that I rc- v gard him as a great leader of the Democracy, c und think he deserves consideration at my 'i hands, and Hampton'* hands too. I am wll- p ling to give, hlin his dues. He has done more ' for the party than any man In America, c Like some great military general, he won a a great battle In '76, when retrenchment and re- I form were emblazoned on our banners, but $ he failed to reap the spoils, and developments s may prove," added the General, "that It was .? not his fault after all." The General then I: said lie thought he had said enouglf. He re- 1 marked that the former interview was largely duo to the persistence of the/fcm/dman, who t had worried and badgered and coaxed him u Into tulklng when he was tired and half sick n and didn't feel like it. e At an informal interview previously Gen. c Gary said that he did not consHler that an t issue of veracity between himself andllamp- 1 ton existed, Iho latter having said he did not a recollect the conversation alluded to between 1 them, A.

It is consoling at least to hear and know r that there Is as great a muddle in National t politics in Washington as there is In Stntfr politics at Columbia. While Kepresentatl vc Aiken is recommending the formation of a new party to be called neither Democratic or Republican; Senators Hampton and Butler are for retaining the same old name but adopting Republican platforms: Congressman Tillman is an out and out Tilden man and Congressman O'Connor Is a Randall admirer; " Stephens of Georgia Is for Grant; Gordon for Bayard; Hill for any one that gets the Democratic nomination; North Carolina and Col. Ellison Kettt are openly avowed for Grant, while we are snubbed by Bayard, outgeneraled by Itandali and vanquished by Hayes; agreeing upon diversified principles In no tw i States of the Union?hard money in one, soil money in another, and both in others. Ewing, Pendleton and Hancock In the West: Tllden, Kandalland Bayard in the East, Out of thl.i conglomeration what relief can the producing classes expect? And now comes another muddle. Justice I Mclver who was elected Chlcl Justico has de- I cllned the honor thrust upon him and thinks that "a bird In tho hand is worth two in lite bush." The curious part of the anxiety to oust Wll lard proceeding from the Radical minority In tlie General Assembly results from their desire or rather the doslro of Tart : the republican member from Charleston who Is anxious to see things get as complicated as . possible. He bears no love for Wiliard to be sure, but he Is scarcely more affectionately inclined to any Democrat who may be elected to tilkc his place. But he chuckles in Ills sleeves as he sees "confusion more confounded.'' The solid ltadlcal vote that was cast lor Wallace against McGowan under his management In I heir caucus of eight voteswas scarcely intended as a compliment to Wallace who with nil the administration Influence. with Jeter In the Senate and his sonin-law Slieppard In the House, with every j manner of combination and compact tliut could be Invented to defeat McGowan, who happens noi to oe oi 1110 mng, jaucu 10 ueftnt the people's cholco for a position to which he was entitled by nil the rules that should govern decency and consideration fora . true, trusted and ti led public servant. As to the nigger vote that was of course enst with what he thought, was the winning side. Ills credulity had been operated upon by the shrewd, cunning leaders who usually honeyfugglu him to vote as they tell him and he thought In voting for Massa Wallace that the "ministration wanted leeted," that ho was sure to beat, and cully always wants to tie on t he winning side and to belong to somebody. So with Tail's coaching apd the cajoling In- ' tluenees ofthe organization, lie could not but vote with the aristocratic factions that 11)variably guide him. He must belong 10 somebody and lie wants to be the rich man's slave. McGowan at least, goon Into the high position by the votes ot Ills own people and his election Is 11 triumph of right over might: of the people through their representatives . against the organized plots of ttie rings and, cllqucs that have usually dlctuted terms. For once the people are victorious and thcpeoplc'8 champions nre Justified by his choice. The most exciting eventof the session, thus far, by all odds, was the race for Associate Justiceship last Thursday w*?en Gen McOownn was elected by a majority of four votes on Joint ballot. Altogether the pitting of Wallace against lit in for this vacancy was one of the most adroit and cunning schemes that could have been devised for the sacrifice of Wallace ugalnst. any contemplated effort upon the part of his frirnds to try lilin ?galn forthe other vacancy that occurs by the resignation of Afelver. The plan originated and was perfected by one of the shrewdest and most artful of Gov. Simpson's supporters for the benefit of his favorite, and it remains to be seen if It will accomplish its ends. It Wiis a little unjust towards McGowan who was to be victimized If the plot succeeded and In either event was calculated to choke otr Wallace from attempting the next vacancy which It Is thought by the ruse is left clear for Simpson. We saw the trick and told Wallace's friends as much and confidently predicted the result in black and white. The alliances of the ncgrovote with that of the carpet-bagger which was relied upon to nerfect the scheme may always be expected to be ameietrlclousone with whatever the for inerare iuduced to believe is with thefuctlon opposed to the people and on the strongest side. They unconscloufljy lend their aid at the invocation of authority from their habit of having been slaves and they always unwittingly fall into the ranks of whatever wears the Insignia of power. Thclrsupport In the combined way in which It was addressed It Is said now points to Wallace na their choice to bent nnybody for the Democratic nomination fbr Governor to whom their hearty snneortls construed by hisfrlends that he would e a satisfactory compromise for Governor from both parties, and may lead to that denouement Cejjsok, The Telephone Tackles Arnold's Globe.
