[Letter to the New York Herald.] COLUMBIA, S. C., December 5. aen. Mart Gary, of Edgefield coun ,y-now 'the people's man' for 3overnor of South Carolina-- was a :aptain under Hampton in the -lampton'Legion, in the civil war. Lt the first battle of Manassas, af ,er Hampton and others were wounded, Gary took command and aptared Rickett's battery. His Ritinguished gallantry won the pplause of the Legion, the Con ederateiarmy and the Southern >eople. Subsequently he is said to ave resented Hampton's attempt o promote one of his favorite offi ~ers over him as Major, with the leciaration that he bad :stood the est of battle as well as he (Ham p on) or any other man,' and that f Hampton promoted another >ver him 'it would be the ast time that he wozuld -treaM.-' >.fnr-seTase'iidens afford ed a,n early test of Gary's quality, and were significant besides of his ultimate future relations to Harp gon. in politics. He supported Hampton on prnoiple for 'Gover nor as the "most' available candi date at-she-e;Iose of-the carpetbag reign, conducting the canvass with such pigor that;p gelAg to Col-. Uimbifter the election, he was ~reetelhby the new Governor wvith ei.clamat~ion 'Well, Gray, Edgefield has saved the State!' His subsequent opposition in tbe State Seniate to the policy of HamptMu: aid doeewho aotad with him raised Gen. Gary into~ etraordinary prqninence, so that one mo&rninrg, to use his own rath er sby expressioi, he 'awoke, like Byron, and found himself famous throughout the South.' AN INTERVIEW WITHW GEN. GAItY. I called on the General thi~s'af2 ternoon -at bis hotel, and fou~n& him to be of finer mettle than his mere popular vogue implies. Lithe, wiry, with features thin bu thand some,' sborf gra~y hair; a "closes clipped gray m ustache, sparkling eyes and a candid smile, he dis played - acdbarmn of ma~nner:' and frankbess of speech which world in thbemsel'ves account for a con siderable part of the public favor he has won.. It was with the ut inost dilfiedlty that I led' him into the following discussion of 'politi cal topies: 'I there aything~ of real mean ing ini the talk in South Carolina and elsewhere of adopting Grant as the Southern candidate - for President ?' was the next question I asked Gen. Gary, as a diversion. 'Nothing. If there is a real feel ing in favor of such a project (ex cept, of course, among the scala wags and niggers,) I haven't heard of it. I spent two months of the summer at White Sulphur Springs, meeting there men from. all parts of thxe south, and didn't hear '3 scheme broached of running Grant in connecLion with the Democrat ic party. But I did hear this aud from the lips of public men from whom I should have least expeated it-the statement that if Grant wants to be Emperor of this country, or even to head a constitutional monarchy, he would find plenty of Soathern backing.' 'Was this a deliberate state wont? It seems incredible.' EMPEROR ULYSSES. ;Not a bit incredible. Why my friend, you can't understand the straits in which some of the South ern people find themselves. Tbey are willing to take almost any way out of the rut. Besides, many of them believe, as they have long believed, that the Brit ish Const,itution is the best the world ever saw. To save them selves from the present and pos sible future tyrtDny of a Republi can majority in the North, they wold be honesoly willing aot on ly to exchange the Federal Consti tution for th%t one, but to do away with the Conatitution and establish Iipperialism for'-beAer sake, or hope at least, of securing justice through the enjoyment of equal rights and privileges. The gentle men with whom I have spoken on this subject haven't gone so far as to say they would activey help to plant a Grant dynasty. They have merely said,they would not hinder -any move Grant and his friends might -make to-set it up, and that they would stand by the Empire if delaied. A CONSTITUTIONAL GOvERNMENT, BY GOD! 'Such, however,'said Gen. Gary, walking up and down the floor, 'is not my plan or policy. I'm in favor, by God! of constitutional government-a Republican gov emment, and in favor of perpet ating-it. If the time ever comes, i I'm ready to throw my sword into the scale for this, and against any monarchical innovation whatso ever.' BAYARD-TILDEN. 'Who,' I put to him at last, 'is the candidate of the Southern1 Democrats.fer President?' 'Take the leaders-Bayard is their choice, undoubtedly. Take t be pga.--.fln~ wodtd be theirs. I am not myself a Bayard man. Thomas A. Ewing is my preference. His financial princi ples are my own. Bayard's.are not, I can't understand the Demo cratic fidelity of a man w ho stands, as Bayard does,. on a Radical Re publican. financial platform. - iUm a Jackson Democrat, and can un derstand the position in this re spect of Gen. Ewing. To my mind Jackson was g p-getsa.man the ,emocratic pa\rty. ever - had greatrtban COdinn, or Woester eiter-in brains, in nerves, in far-seeig'statesmianship.' 'How do you .associate his fi nancial ideas with those Af .by ing?' 'bthis way, Jackson, in* i day, was opposed to -a national bank. He would, theiefore, be opposed to.day to the, present national' banks.- He was opposed to tne consolidation of the money ower-the grapdest, most absorb ing of moderI3 pawers-into bad outsidi~~the peodpTe'(So is Gen. Ewing.' THE POPULACE AND TILDEN. 'As to the .popular preference for Tildenwhat of that?' 'Well, now, that is- a comnprehen sive question. The people of our State-that is to say the masses of them-have been so absorbed by their own troubles that they have not digested que'stions -involving national finance, nor inquired how these questions would be affected by this or that President to come into power. All are Democrats of the strictest type, willing to abide by the decision of the National Dmocratic Convention. All, too, pretty well recognize the doctrine that South Carolina, which was so active in stirring up the late civil war, ought to be a little mod est just at present-ought not to attempt to control matters when the former attempt to control thbem resulted in such immense loss and suffring.r "iferefore, I[ say, our mjive not yet formulated their preference, and it's only 'a feeling in the air' which leads me to describe it as for Tilden.' 'Why, General,' exclaimed a confidential friend, who stood near during the conversation, &don't you know very well there ain't a man, woman or white child in South Carolina that wouldn't go for Tilden if ho was nominated again ?' BADLY TREATED-DAMN HIM. 'Just you bold on. I'm coming to that,' said Gen. Gary. . .Tilden, it he gets nominated again, will get the unanimous support of the Southern people. It's ~idle to dis pute that soli&st of all solid facts in the so-called Solid South. Damn him ' proceeded the General, now warming to the theme, 'I'm sorry for him, too. I think Tilden has been badly treated. He was sold :Ut by Sontbern Leaders. He sught not, however, to have suf fered himself to - be sold out by anybody. He should have claimed his -righ ts.- That's why, - even while I say I'm sorry for him, I add that I don't like his sort of a man. He has nothling of the An Irew Jackson kind in him. Yet [ would support him heartily gain, because I believe- he was 5acrificed to tbe'South and that be South owes him an atoneient. Koreover, I believe that, being bOhe'greatest political tactician of hetime,-aving irmense machin ry vt bicb he.has organized at his lisposal, having- still the most cwerfuLof his. frie6&.d-sin 1876 to )ack him, and, perhaps, having )esides tLe commodity he is -re )orted to have. b.the barrel ful e may be nominated in 1880, and, f nominated, witt certainly be lected.' SAMUEL SOLD OUT BY THE SOUTH. 'But you say Tilden was sold: ut-by 8owvhern leaders. That's , new phase. HowVV 'Ob,,know it will raise the levil,' said Geb. Gary, 'but it might s well come out. The long and hort of it is that a proposition was 'made to me at the well ~nown mass meeting at Ab eville in 1876 to withdra e'~ ilden electors of this te' THE SHAMEFUL PRo JSITION. 'By Gen. Hampton, at the time e had been nominated but not lected for the Governorship. He, lohWbs and myself spoke at that meeting. Hampton approached me on the platform with that proposition.' 'Now,1I anked Gen.Gary, 'peee eplain for *bat reason- that aug gestion was.made,and ..whbat ser vice its adoption~would have been to Hampton's cause' 'Well, sir. at that timne we want d to redeem South Carolina from. arpet-bag rule, and some of us idn't care a damn bow .it was to ome about.

It was understdoid 'that Cooke ind M.ackey said they would bolt the arnpton State ticket if Hampton would withdraw the Tilden. ele-t orW and thus insure thei State br the - . pebhcan National ticket. Hampton virtaully said. o these men, 'If you elect me ovrnor, 1 don't care whom.you elet Pnside~nt.' Thiat 'as why e came to me at Abbeville with he propositionlI have mention A- SHARP ANSWER TO HAMPTON. 'What did you say. to it ?' 'I said, in the sfirst place, that s South Carolina had sent dele ~ates to and fairly participated in he National Convention which ominated Tilden, the withdrawal f the electors would be a piece f bad faith. Ln the next place, I aid it couldu't be done without aulling another convention. To this Hampton responded that it might be done through the State Executive Committee. Without equiescing, I answered Hampton that- if he and the rest were re. solved to do it I wouldn't .make war upon the conclusion. I've since heard that aheld hat nigh4 \ nd, Gen. McGowan and Col. CotbraE were present, there was a bot time, McGowan wouldn't agree, nohow, and the project fell through. Nev. ertheless, I've always regarded it in the light of a traitorous disaf fection to Tilden before his elec tion. showing a disposition 0o sac rifice him in this State. WHY ATONEMENT IS NEUESSARY. 'It was nothing more nor less than an offer to surrender the State to Hayes in order to secure the electioq-of Himpton"; hen6e my willingness to see atonement made in case Tilden is again nom inated. That nomipation, I re peat ignoring my preference for Ewing, would undoubtedly be re ceived by our people with full acclaim. The whole South: would vote for Tilden. Whoever tells you it won't tells a lie. There would be no bolting. We've had enough of botga-enough 1f secession. You can't get any more o6f it from the -South.

I expeet they're abbati the best friends the Union-has i-day, just because they've had some- experi encein butting'againstit. THE HEUALD' 0 O0MMNTS. It is a remarkable story which Gen. Gary tells one of oar .South ern corresp ndents how enator Hampton, proposed to 'sell out' Mr. Tilden's electoral. ticket in South CarQliia in 1876. The General's conclusion is still more remarkable-that the National Ddmocratic party must renomin ate Mr. Tilden for President in atonement for Senator Hampton's behavior. By contrast with this, some.prominent Daocrati0 poli ticians in New York with a free dom of speech quite equal to Gen. Gary's, insist that Mr, Tilden did not only propose, but did actually 'sell out' the Democratic munici pal ticket here i 1873, and, there fore, in atonement for such be bavior he must not be renomin ated. Noir, South Carolina is a bi Statis a big city, but neither of them probably is big enough to make the policy of the National Democratic party hinge upon sapdraGnated griev ances in local politics. If it means to win the next .PrsidleD.iatelec tion its nominationss- mest be een trolled. by some higher considera tion than the circiirstanes that Senator Hamnpt6n va~wiJing to putMx(Tilden's nose. out of joint, to elect himself Governor of South Uarolina three years agoger.t Mr. Tilden did etlisiW dislocate the nose 6f~r. Auiihtue Schell in- electi Mr. Ed *ard Cooper Miayor&.~New- York two -pars afterwards. Since, hoever,'the rumors about Senator Hamptons infidelity to the Democratie~ elec toral ticket in 1876, which have been floating in the air ever since, have found4 a respectable &ponisor at last;, tbNre is. no objection to -investi*gatin1g them. leisurely as a historical:curiosity, ad te conn try will take the same'rind of in terest in hearing what thie sena Lor may have to reply to Gen. Gary that.it does in .other. recon-. di te, matters of antiquariai re-i aearch, euch as the identity of the executioner of' -Charles I, or of the author of 'Junius.' It will not escape not,iee, gin estimating the heinousness of Senator Hamp ton's political conduct supposing all that Gen. Gary says is strictly accurate that thebeneral himself: assured Senator Hampton that 'if he and the'rest were resolved' fo withdraw the Tilden electoral ticket in order to save.their State ticket and redeem South Carolina from the carpet-baggers, 'he (Gen. Gary) would not make war upon the conclusion.' A QUICK AND TART REPLY FROM sENATOR HAMPTON-HE PRO NOUNCEs GEN. GARY' s CHARGFS 'UTTERLY AND ABSOLUTE LY FALSE. [Washington Special to New York Herald.] Senator Hampton's attention wvas drawn to-day to the conver sation of Gen. Mart Gary con cern ing him, reported by a correspon dent from Columbia, S. C., in to day's Rerald. He read the corres pnnco. oere carefnly. and said that while there were various mis I representations beginning as far back at the events of the war, he did not- consider anftbing; worthy of notice except so much as related to the a] eged breach of-faith in tlf matter of the Tilden electois. UP this point he remarked.: 'While I have never condescend ed to notice the rumors, of which the Herald speaks aiday, abou Senator Hampton's infidelity to the Democratic electoral ticket in 1876, whic'h have b6i foating in tbe air ever since; and while I cannot agree witA the Herad that they have. t says". found a respectab:i&- - Geq,. sArvi.st last foi o.fathe ,es I am indtif-to proonmrice-the utterly and absolute y false.
