The Georgia, Carolina gu 'last March. I sent the original itition and endorsements to Washington by the hands of a sidr-nt of Lancaster, who turned lese, also, over to Doctor Strait he placed on ft e in the proper fee Some time ater, when Dr rait had returned from the Nannal Cap la', I met him in Lanister upon the streets a number ' tmes and had several convertions with him. in winch he led o to believe that everything had ?en and was being done in the ite.est of my appointment that is neresary and that the prospect r the se'ection of myse'f as arshal was good. On tlie 10th \y of March 'ast, so mo days after 10 Doctor's ret ti n to Lancaster id after soseral interviews with tn on prev >v? days, upon my iking him for the copy of my I itition and endorsement*, hich I d s re l to keep in remem^! a nee of the kindness of mv iends, I was surprised to learn otn lum that he had left this ipy, as lie **id. with a friend of s in Washington. I then beau to suspect that there was niething wrong and at once ked him whet her or nottheorig? al petition had been filed in the oper office in Washington in imp'iancc w th my request. To y astonishment, he informed e that these papers had not been ed at all but that he had brought icso originalc back home with m Up.on my demand for an ii# minim 111 Butn union oy mm, opposition as it was to my ishos and instructions, he statl that Coogres<man Talbert had lvisod this proceeding and had >ld him that those papers could 3 sent to Washington at a later ly. Insisting upon the tmmedi' o forwarding of the petition and e endorsements to Washington id taking car* that they wore so rwardod by the Doctor at once ider my own superintendence, I rote t rthwith to Congressman iibert for an explanation of the Ivice which ho was said to ivo given ro Dr 8trait with ference to this matter. In s rep y. Congroasman Tal?rt stated that Dr Strait was staken in saying that ho adsed such a Ci.urse with reference my petition, and ho added that o Doctor'might, hayo misuudcr X i in an 1 ii i: u.i us// 4 Lis n jr. 1h Interview With Mr Ifunl-r. Knowing that a very large imbei of the citizens of this coun as well as other p>rlions of the ate who have insisted upon the imination of o r ponu'ar and icient, Sheriff, Mr J hn I* llun-* r, for the ofllco of US Marehal the District ot South Carolina e very much interested as to e prospect for his appointment that oflice, our reporter on yes* rday app'ied to Mr Hunter for y information in liis possesion to the matter- Finding this intleman in the SheritTs offico e reporter stated the object of s visit and the following interew took place : 'Can you state, Mr Hunter, lat isthe present outlook for ur appointment as Marshal ?" " 1'hat is difficult, in a few words, do ; but I may say that my iends consider the chances for y appointment to bo excellent, ou know, however, Hint there is > certainty in matters of this rt, and 1 am not willing t.? ^ay at I am to be the next Marshal ltil my commission sha'l have sen signed, sealed and delivers i and placed safely away in my side pocket. So far as 1 am incerncd, I wou'd prefer remamg in the office which I now hold; it, as a vcrv large number of y friends desire that I shall bo ipointed Marshal, I have yield-* I to their wishes and consented ? accept the off ce, if it is ten-d ed me. "It is said that Congressman rait is opposed to your nom-pa. on ?" "Yes; Strange as it may apJar, that seems now to be ?rue. fter first promising my friends int he wou'd support me for arsha', the Doctor has now des rted me and is endeavoring to pport I)r Sampson l'ope for this isition. This however, in a mat r of little moment. "D? I understand you to say lat Doctor Stra t originally romiscd y.-ur friends that he ou'd nupport you for Marshall?" "Unquestionably. The Doctor ent to Washington as my supporr. On or about the 22(1 day ' February la t I give him cop:es the petition for my appoint^ ,ent and ot the endorsement hy iimerous friends in this County id throughout the state, which ere carried by him to Washing>n. Afterwards on the 31 div stood ina. Lie further offered to give me a letter of recommendation lor the office of Marshal When I showed Dr Strait the lettor front Congressman Taibert containing the above statement, the Doctor to'd mo, in explatui tion of hi? action, a very plausible story which I then accepted as true, and I wrote Congressman Taibert that Dr Strait had ox* plained the matter to me to ray satisfaction. I a'so stated to Mr Taibert that I should bo glad to have his endorsement, as prom* ised. These firsCsuspiciona as to tho genuineness of the protestations of friondehip and advocacy by Congressman Strait having been healed by his plausible explanations, I still believed lhat the latter was sincere and that he intended to do as ho had promised my friends and would in good faith advocate my appointment as Afarshal. Being undor this impression, on tho 30th day of March last.-l was astounded to learn that Dr Strait had suffered himse.f to be bambooz'ed into a so called Primary E'ection in 8enator Ir? by's room at Washington held by a few of the Congressmen from this State, and had suffered my name to be submitted for the position of Marshal to the determination bv vote of men who hardly knew me, three of whom I have no know'ed^e of ever having laid ottico, ho allowed himself to bo tric'ted into an attempt to smoth e- tho yoico of the people and to substitute therefor the will of a majority of a portio 1 of tho Congreisional de'egation from South Carolina. The Doctor was sent to Washington to voice the wish> es of the people of this Congres, sional District, and he should have presented the petition of my triends and advocated my appointment, as he promised to do, be f re the President, wh >se duty it is to consider the pe itions of the peop e and make tho appointment If. after such presentation it should have been found by the President ihat any one of my competitors for this office had stronger endorsements or for anv reason shou'd be chosen , rather than myself, my friends would then have had no just cau?e for complaint. As it is, however, the effort to defeat tho wishes of my friends throughout the State, by submitting tho prayers for my appointment not to the President bu* b? five or six congressmen out of the who/e number from this State, has not been and will not be submitted to by my friends, who justly condemn the action of Dr Stru t in making that ati tempi." "Did not these men offer to e ndorse y ou fi another poaitioo ?*' " 1 hey did, but tha' was merely a tub to the whale. They telegraphed me that my endorsement by them for Marshal was prevent* ed by ' Geographical considera? tions," whatever that meant^ and lhat they would endorse me for the position of Collector of Internal Revenue, if I would accept that place. To this proposition I wired a reply to the effect that my friends in Lancaster County and a number of friends and influential men throughout tho State had petitioned for roy appointment as Marshal, that I had agreed to yield to their wishea and accept that office if it was tendered me, and that as all tho petitions of end-rsemenis of mjr<self on fl'e were for the position of Marshal, 1 could r.at consent to Atu'tifr myse'f and disregard the wishes of my friends by perni'tein* the advocacy of my ap* pointment to any other office than that which the .latter desired me to fill. ' What were the "Geographical considerations" referred to in this telegram V' "I am at a lo-s to know. I am, also at a loss to understand what "Geographical considerations" could exist which would apply to the office of Marshal and not apply equally to that of Internal Revenue Collector. In other words, 11 eyes on, and who favored another candidate for that office. Dr Strait had absolute y no authority trom moor from any one for mo fir this action, and I had no intimation from him that lie intended to adopt any such course, lie must have known that this cotirjj could not result otherwise than in sacrificing me, so far as I these Congressmen, three o/^whom I never knew personally and had only a s'ight acquaintance with the other two,were concerned. He disregarded the wishes and endorsements of the people.as expres sed in the petition for my appoint ment and iustead of presenting and submitting those petitions to thePresident who is invested with | the power of appointment to this ? ? # ? ? - r? amount to, I think that m friends have just cause for con plaint on account of his desertic after promising to support me 1 the last moment.
