Tho Southern correspondent of tho Now York Journal oj Commerce has written to that journal from Washington, under date of the 8th Instant, the followiug interesting ac count of on INTERVIEW WITH PRBSlW?NT GRANT. Understanding from Qonoral Babcock that tho. President would bo glad'to have a talk with me about Southern matter J, your corre spondent embraced an opportunity to step into the Sanctum Sanctorum of the White House and indulge in an Interview. A re markable improvement in tho President's health is apparent at tho first glance. Ho is much stouter than usual, and looks woll. Our conversation at first was a mero matter ot' explanation of affairs in the Southorn States from the standpoint on which I based general conclusions as to the material, social und political conditions of the d i fieront States, as shown in letters sout you from tho States themselves, together with tho business and political prospects in those States. Tho Pres ident listened attentively, and interposed ma tty questions. Ho seemed particularly aux* ions to know what tho people there thought of his appointees in tho custom houses and ?ost offices and other Government positions, le wa? answered that the general complaints against his officers is on political grounds, and that tho chief dissatisfaotionat the South is with Stato and county oifioinls. Theoourse of the Southern peoplo toward Governmout officials is generally dotcrultucd by the hon esty and capacity shown by tho incumbents. Ac a general thing Govcrnmont officials got along well with tho people aud many of thom aro highly respected. The men against whom the peoplo of the South generally show a vindiotivo spirit arc men who aro dishonest at home in tho North, and aro now thieves nt the South, conducting their nofarious schemes under the shield of official position, ns Re publicans, and as Republicans only, because they thereby manago to usc tho negro votes to elect them to office. WHAT THE PRESIDENT 8AID1 The President admitted a belief that there arc very many bsd mon in office io the South claiming to be Republicans, but who would be tiny tiling in the political lino that would further their bad designs, and are not Ibero torc chargeable to the account of the Repub lican party os a great politieul organization. Ho believes that a largo number of Ku Klux outrages have been committed, that thc grad ual advanco of abettor feeling throughout thc South, besides the moral effect of tho passage of tho Ku Klux bill, haB stopped Ku Klux ism outlawry to a very great extent. Ho did not propose, in makiug appointments, to con sult politicians in tho South who vote against *ho Republican party any moro than ho would in thc North. But ho was determined to give them honest and competent Gov ernment officials, aud he would take it as a favor when men of any shade of politics dis cover dishonesty or incompetency on the part of his appointees to acquaint him with the fact. Well authenticated complaints from any quarter would receive careful atten tion. He had removed al).objectionable men from tho New Orleans Custom House, and ho believed ho had a good set of officials there now. He regarded thc condition of thc South generally as improving. .TT^T'J KUREfT-it*twecn Wand 1} 4 ?look .saturday ni;;ht a fire was discovered in tho roar of Mudsdcn's Tobacco Store, Meeting street, opposite tho Charleston Ho tel, a fow doors North of BissoU's aud tho nd joining storo destroyed some timo ago. As usual, tho alarm was not given by the bells until some time after thc fire was ascertained, and when tho engines arrived ou tho ground matters had taken a serious turn.

Tho Democratic porty of South Carolina has been devoted to voluntary, non responsible, non obligatory oouforences and COD vo?tions since I860. If any, tho least good has ever resulted from tho u?sembliug of suoh bodies WO have never been able to seo or ascertain it. Such assemblies aro usually controlled by a few spirits, who mnnago to say or do some thing, which is connected by tho opposing party into au instrument with which to dofoat us. What could wo effect in Stato matters? Wo do not desiro to lead in national affairs Let US ta'.l it this timo. The memorable pla uk put into the platform of 1808 by South Carolina crushed tho vory life out of the par ty. We will make moro by staying at homo ou-J harvesting our littlo crops, than talking about mutters over which wo havo no control Besides if a confcrcuco be advisable in any o veut, this is too early a day. Wo huvo al (trays been too apt aud too reaiy to expose 3ur hand. Wo play 100 fair and should try 0 littlo "bluff." But says tho Camdon Journal, wo aro for conference and early or ganization, not agitation. Is that possiblo ? Whatever might bo dono in that conference Would bo agitated in twenty four hours after tts adjournment. Not agitate? imponible. Carolinians possess ono of tho traits of Frouoja m in, aud that is impulso. They aro good on 1 oh arge, but tire in a long campaign. Thi> s a reason why if any course is designated it thould bo done at a lalo day. If wc begin ?tow, wo will lind onrsolvcs Uko tho bearii) ihe fable, only wo will have worn ourselves jut fighting tho wind. While wo oro panting >n our backs at thc opening of the campaign, die enemy fresh aud strong in past victory md the spoils of office, will sweep every thing joforc them. We men of business can afford k long and heated campaign, but thc farmer"' md laboring men cannot ond will not. At irst they aro warmed up and interested, but .heir business soon cools their ardor and os die thing becomes old they grow careless. Let us have uo conference for the present. Cumulative Vottng Tho Camden Journal proposes a preferra ile alternativo for cumulative voting. This s for tho Democratic party to raise tho stm lard of the "new departure," and under its just recognition of thc rights of the colored mao, seek thc aid of thc most intelligent por don of that race to help us on to victory. In this way, it believes, we could carry tho State it tho next election. The late success in Charleston has doubtless aided our cotcmpo rary in reaching this conclusion. Grunting wo could carry every county in the State, would the rejection of cumulative voting bc advisable or for the best interests of all ? Freedom from error is not a characteristic of any race or party. Wo upproxim o truth and justice only by a thorough discussion and sifting of ail sides of a question. When all at a council ure of u party, .they uro a>^<; oe ui mo same opinion, and by suoh a bojry thc greatest errors are often committed fcoui prejudice or oversight. An opposing- element, though a minority, might provoke discussion and exposure of the error, and prevent n grievous wrong. Besides, minorities have rights which should bo-rcspootod, and thc bist means to scouro such respect is to glvi th MU proportional representation. It is lint fdr and just. Tho majority would still rulo, enjoying thc counsel and coition of the mi nority. Thc latter would act like brakes ti) a train of oars, checking thc sgoed when then was d inge ahead. We are willing to rais< thc stind ird of thc "new departure," but wi also 8-iy, let us keep up and unfurled tin standard of proportional rcprcsontation ; and if we should win thc ncc, let us extend ti thc defeated the right of minority representa tio i now claimed by us. It is both wisden and justice. The Crops. "The Charleston News" from private let tors and other source of inform Hum estimate tho avorago cotton orop io this Stato for th present year at thirty per cont less than tho of last year, provided tho seasons provo favoi ablo in tho future. With unfavorable futur seasons, tho crop will not exceed-ono hal the crop of last year. Though a large increas of area has been devoted to bread stuffs, th yield will not bo largor than is required fe thc wants of the- Stato. This estimate ut cords very well with our information os toou own County aud is perhaps very nearly ooi roet. On tho face of this our exchange speak of tho early appearance of tho arm and boll worm in thc Stute of Georgia, Alubi ma, Mississippi, Texas-and Florida.

B?A- The Connecticut Senate has passed law, which bids fair to bo more effectual preventing tili? salo of liquors than the Mai 1 iw.

Docs it result from igno rance or a disregard of tho luw? lt is true, tho statutory regulations governing the distil lation, removal and sale of spirituous liquors arc sovero and oppressive to our people, who, being accustomed to convert their corn into whiskey aud pork, dud themselves too poor to run a still .which would justify thc expenses under tho present law. Under this view, many regard these rogulutio is unjust and feel themselves nt liberty to avoid thom. How ever this be, they uro thc luw und should be observed by all good citizens. They should bo observed, first beouse they aro tho law of the laud, whother good or bad, juster unjust. No citizen is justifiable in violating u law be cause it operates oppressively on his particu lar section. Wero this reason truo, there is hardly a statute in South Carolina but in some sections would bcoomo nugatory. Whatever is law, unless plainly unconstitutional, should be obeyed by overy good citizen, until its evils, if any, are remedied by tho p/opor uu thorities. It has been well said, "A bud law, well administered, is better than a good law, badly administered." Tho proper course is to obey tho law, und io tho meantime, sock its ropoul, if radioully wrong. We do not, how ever, think thc law any. too stringent. What ever curtails thc making, salo and uso of spirituous liquors, cannot but provo beneficial in the cud to thc community. Besides, as a revenue must bo raised, what is so proper un article of taxation as that which uot only is not beneficial to any one, but is ia truth u rcul curse to overy commui tty. In thc next place, tho law should bc obey, od for tho sake of thc individual himself. Tlte disregard or wilful violation of any exis ting regulation, unless punished, is apt to pro duce, a degree of recklessness, which will end in ruin, perhaps infamy to the party. These uil'cuccs do not belong to that class termed infamous, or bud in themselves, but are mere ly acts, which being otherwise lawful, aro prohibited, under certain restrictions, by pos iltve statutes. lu the next place, the law should br ?bey cd because obedience to it is true ecotio. - A pet sou may for a season profit by uirtk. g or dealing in contraband whiskey, but tu the end just loo will overtake hun, and bib luwlui and uuUwlul gains, not lo Sty his liberty, will bc lost. Whom can a man trust? If your particular friend docs nut betray you directly, lie wiil tell hts friend where tic eui get some good whiskey, and so the muller goes, until you hud yourself entangled in the meshes ol tho law. If no ono breathes the matter, wbiskcy, who isa noisy fellow, will speak for himself. Tho mau who violates the law nev er has an easy conscience and a quiet night's rest.

Doubtless, some have violated tho law from ignorance of its requirements, and without any criminal intent. The btw is so stringent, thut wc cnn give our readers no safer counsel than tu batidlo or buy no liquors except f>oiii regularly licensed dealers. .Section ii 1 (b'Si clause) ol' the Act of July 2Ulh, 1808, en acts, "That any person who shall remove, er shall aid or acct in the removal of any dis tilled spirits on which thu tux has not boco paid to a place other than the distillery ware house provided by btw, or who shall conceal or aid io tho concealment of any .spitits so rc moved, or who shall remove or aid and abet in tho removal of any distilled spirits from nu) distillery ware house, or other ware house for distilled spirits authorized by low, in any manner othor than is provided by law, or who shall conceal ot aid in the concealment of any spirits so removed, ?hull bo liable to a penal ty of double thc tax imposed on such distill ed spirits so removed or concealed, and .shall, on conviction be fined not less than two hun died dollars nor moro than five thousand dol lars, and im prisoned not less til ut) three mouths nor moro than three years." Section 25 of thc same act, enacts in substance, that when over any cask of distilled spirits, on which thc tax has been paid, is to be removed from the wurc house, thc gauger, in thc presence o.c thc store-keeper, shall place upon the head thoreof, a stamp, "on which shall he engraved thc number of proof gallons contained in said cask on which tho tux has been paid, and which shall bo signed by tho collector of the district, store keeper and gauger, and which shall state t|je serial number of the cask, the name of thc poison by whom tho tax was paid, and tho person to whom and tho place whore it is to be delivered." Tho natuo of thc distiller shall ulso be cut or Inwood, on each cask. A book shall also bc kept, in which a record of those fuels shall be enter cd. Tho law also requires thc claimant of spirits siezod under suspicious circumstances, or trucod to thu possession of a party, though not seized,, to show that no fraud bas bcou committed, and that uli, tho rcquiromonts of the law in relation to thc payment of the tax have been complied with. Under tho abovo provisions of tho law, Messrs. IlARPBlt, Mull O AN und HorEKwero convicted.

This is a statutory regulation in derogation of the, conr mon luw, which would, have required thc Stato to prove the guilt of the puny sutisfuo tinily on ull points.
