[From tho New York Tribune] ' A Talk With Senator Hampton in Now York. Senator Wade Hampton, of South Caro lina, arrived hero on Tuesday morning to attend thc funeral of Dr. John T. Darby, who, tho Senator said yesterday, was not merely u connection of his, but n warm personal friend, having been with him during tho war and having saved his lifo on moro than one occasion. Senator Hampton says that his health is slowly improving, aud of lato bo lins been getting stronger, although still suffering from occasional pains. In reference to his recent speech in thc Senate, concerning thc action of thc National Government towaids thc South, Mr. Hampton said: "I am adverse to making public utter ances. I think it is thu business of South ern mcu to show by their actions, not their professions, what course they intend to pursue And I hope wo will be able lo do that iu a little while I made my recent speeoh without consultation with tiny one and took thc stund I therein did simply because I believed it was right. 1 intended delivering tome such speech moro than two weeks ago, but was called to New York by tho illness of Dr. Darby. 1 think tho Southern people oro in accord with thc views I expressed in thc Senate, and they will bo generally adopted. Judging from tho letters I bavo received and thc South ern men 1 huvc seen, I can safely say I believe they aro in full accord with my viovis. Tho South is eminently conserva tivo, and has always been so. It wants to bc quiet, und docs not want to bo thc vic tim nor tho mover in anything that will create trouble or mistrust. As to laws permitting the presence of troops at tho polls, they were war measures, and oil wish them repealed. 1 would never have delivered tho speeoh I did but for u speech of Mr. Tharmon's somo time ago, in which he denied, and truthfully denied, tho charge that tho South was dictating tho policy of tho D?mocratie pnrty. "If tho Northern papers would try to got at the truo disposition of the Southern pcoplo it would promote r?conciliation. 1 know that they bavo sent nblo correspon dents through thc South, ninny of whom I bavo mot uud whoso correspondence I have read. But I do not think they have seen with impartial eyes. 'They hovo felt con strained to writo to suit tho polities of thc papers they represented. 1 refer ns much to tho Democrnlio press os of thc Republi can. At least, thoy hovo mistakon tho truo fooling)of the South. It did not attempt to scoedc for war, and it does not follow that, because it did not succeed in leaving tho Union, it still wishes to injure it. This is tho only country tho Southern pcoplo now hove, and they wish to niuko it ns great and ns prosperous as possible Thc South ought to bo credited with having provented a war in 187G, when tho wholo country was ot fovcr heat over tho Presidential election. A guu fired in South Carolina then would hnvo precipitated a general war. Tho South is stronger to-day thnn in I860. There is no feeling of timidity actuating her present policy. Thcro is no desiro for another war, Tho South wants pence This I know to bo thc fooling of tho whole pcoplo there Thorn is another thing which ought not to bo overlooked-that whilo tho S.o.uth is wholly D?mocratie nod constitutes tho strength of tho Demoorntio porty, wo do not intend to ask n place on tho Presiden tial tiokot for a Southern man, Wc want tho party in tho North to placo two good ? mon on tho ticket, nnd wc will support it for tho National success of tho Dcmocratio porty. With rcforonco to tho personal ohoieo of tho South for particular Presiden tial candidates, I do not think tho South has modo any. I bcliovo that thcro lins bcon a fooling that in justice to tho old tiokot it should bo renominated, There aro many ransons, however, whick may bo urged against this, and the refusal of Mr. Hendricks to bo put in nomination again seems to bo impossible I don't think tito South ourcs ? copper who tito next Presi dential candidate may bo, ns long as ho is a strong Nut ouul mau. They do not oaro where ho comes from or what his financial views may bo. Some of tho papers havo transposed my position in thc vote on Senator Coko's reso lution to disohurgo tho finnnco committco in their reports of Tuesday's proceedings in Washington on tho Warner silver bill. L was opposed to the Warner bill, und should hnvo voted oguinst it (os reported in tho Tribune). ? was paired with my collcoguc, who is in favor of tho bill. I think it was indiscreet to bring thc subject up during thc present short session of Congress. I am perfectly willing to havo u bi-inctolio currency when wo can establish a proper ratio between gold uud silver. I huve been a consistent hard money man. This is tho position I havo always taken, and which 1 onnouncod when nominated Governor of South Carolina. There is a great deal of misrepresentation in tho North us to tbc political condition of thc negroes in tho South. They seem to think that a colored mun is bound to bc n Republican because ho is a colored mau. Rut I know personally muny colored men in South Condina who havo always been consistent Democrats, nod havo suflcred in consequence. There aro only"/5,000 white voters in tuv Stato, and 90?000 colored voters. Tho latter, therefore, hold thc balance of power. When I was elected Gover nor there was only 110.500 votes cast, and only 213 scattering votes thrown againat mc, and I was undoubtedly elected by thc colored voters, who nt that time had all t?.>o machinery of elections in their own liaruds. There was not ti quarrel or fist fight in Iiic election. Tho Republicans could not 'mt ?. ticket in thc field, because the. colored people were satisfied. I think it will ho a great misfortune for thc negroes to marnte >? largo numbers to Kansas'. Tho clim:,.'? 13 uot Rtible for them. My old field Inna's ?? Mississippi, where I cultivated o plantation, sent to mc und asked my advice about going to u^nsas. I told them they wcro freemen now, au*'! lind thc right to go if they thought best, but that 1 did not think they would find tho climate suitable. I advised them to send out n delegation of one or two of their most intelligent men, on whom they could depend, to view the land and mnkou report. 1 think muny who hare already gone will die lhere during thc next winter, and that ninety-nine out of one hundred will want to get back before spring. Indeed, some have returned already. 1 have talked moro than is my custom, but 1 want to seo thc country settled and quiet, and my object in going lo Congicss was to help bring it about." Agricultural Fairs. "F. A. C." writes un interesting tillich for thc Rock Hill Herald on tho aubjocl of forming an Agricultural Society it York County. Among other things, lu soys: '.Agricultural associations do good bj bringing the public together, when they cat exchange opinions and experiences am discubs various subjects, both directly nm indirectly beat ing upon ?ho agricultural ?UH mechanic il interests of thc couutry.

A Fiendish Criminal Summarily Exocutod by Indignant Citizons. AD inquest hold by Trial Justice? T. P. Gaston over tho dead body of a whitu woman found near John J. Moore's distil lery, about thirteen miles ubovo Spartan burg, dovclopcd tho following fuots: Miss Francos Heaton, o young lady of good choraotor and rcspeotablo family, from Piokcn8 County, came on foot to tho houso of John J. Mooro on Thursday, tho 5th inst., to inquire whore Mr. Pusohal O'Shields, u relative of hers, lived. Shu stayed thero lo dinner and after dinner John S. Mooro started with her, against her protest, to show her tho wuy to Mr. Jefferson O'Shicld's houso. ll or body was found on Sunday, 8ch inst., by parties noticing buzzards hovering around tho spot in tho woods only about n half-mile from Moore's houso. Tho body was in an odvanocd stato of dc3omposition and partly devoured by ? tho buzzards when discovered, but it was plain to bo seen that sho hod been out raged, and shot in tho breast and her throat cut. Tho verdict of tho Jury of Inquest was that she had como to her death from the wounds mentioned, and that thc jurors believed that tho wounds woro inflicted by weapons in thc hands of John J. Moore. Upon this findin/? John J. Moore was arrested Monday night, 9th instant, and brought hero and put in jail on tho 10th instant. Further facts having sinco been discov ered, tending more conclusively to convict Mooro of the diabolical uct, publie indigna tion rose to thc highest pitch and on Mon day night n body of mounted men, esti mated at botween two and three hundred, approached thc town about ll o'clock at night for tho purposo of taking John J. Mooro out and hanging him. News of tho approach of tho body of armed men was whispered about town lato in thc evening and considerable excitement was created. Sheriff Thompson endeavored to get up n posse comilaliis to guard tho jail, nud a collision being apprehended, efforts were n'ade to induce tho mounted men to desist from ?heir purpose. Their minds, however, StorC mau? up and they rodo into tho town, and BUtrouniied tho jail, demanding thc prisoner. Tho Sheriff, finding that ho could not get .up tl posse can ital us suffi cient to protect tho prisoner, secretly took thc prisoner out of jail, under guard, and had carried him off und secreted him just outsido tho limits of the town. Tho mounted men searched every cell ono! room in the jail and upon being satisfied that tin: prisoner had been carried off, they scat tered In every direction and continu ul their search until they found tho prisoner under thc Chinquepie trestle of tho Air Lino ltiilroad, ons mi'o from town, where Sheriff Thompson had left him iu hand-cuffs under guard with orders to take thc carson thc 12 o'clock train towards Charlotte. Taking possession of tho prisoner they rallied their forces and rode through town with their prisoner and carried him off to thc spot where he had committed his dia bolical deeds and hung him, wo arc informed by a pct son prcsont, at 7 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning, in tho prcscnoo of about ono thousand persons, among whom wcro two sisters of tho lady whom he had murdered, who arrived from l'ickcnp yester day. Ile was permitted to tako leave of his family and was placed in a buggy under o tree upon thc limb of which a ropo was tied and adjusted around his neck. Ile was Ilion given permission to spook and made a few remarks denying his guilt and saying-''that he didn't blame them, think ing as they did, for what they were about to do, but hoped that after ho was dead tho right man would bc found and they would say that John Moore, for once, spoke tho truth." When bc closed his remarks the buggy was driven from under him and his body hung until lifo was extinct. Thus ended thc oorccr of John J. Moore, a mon of notoriously bad character-per hops thc worst man that ever lived in Spartanburg County-a man who, himself, had admitted thut "ho had committed every crime known to thc law except sui cide." It is n monument to tho peace and law abiding churnofer of our people that ho has been permitted to live iu this county, implicated, ns ho has been, in ?O many crimes and rascalities. There is no doubt of his being guilty of tho infamous crimes for which ho Ins been summarily excouted by our inoonscd citizens and he bas received his just deserts none too soon. And yet wo regret that tho lawful gallows has boen cheated out of its victim. Convinced of his guilt and believing that ho deserved such a fato, and oven a woreo fate if possi ble, wo made an honest effort to prevent it, not for his sake, but that tho law might bo vindicated, believing that it would hove a better effect upon tho country at large that such a fiend should bo tried, convictod nod hung accord.ng to law, however heinous thc crimes of which ho was guilty. Simi lar cflorta wcro mado by others, but of nc avail. Thc men who oamo and took him and executed him wcro prompted, wo know, by tho best of motives. It was no oxoitcd mob of men, undor tho influonco of liquor but was oontposod of some of tito best mer in tho county, who wore dotorminod to rit thi8 0ounty of a villian of tho doepoVt dye VVhilo wo think it was wrong, bconuso thc law Bhould toko its oourso undor any ont nil oiroumstanccs, yet wo aro free to soi that if Lynch Low over was justifiable it any of.so, it was in this ease, and tho hang ing was dono publioly by unmasked mon it opon day-light, in tho prcsonco of a thou sand spectators.-?Spartanburg Jlcrahl. An Angel in a Saloon. Ono aftornoon in tho month of Juno, 1870, a lady in deep mourning, followed by n child, entered ono of tho fashionable saloons of N-. Tho writer happened to bo passing at tho time, and, impelled by curiosity, followed her to seo what would ouBUO. Stepping up to tho bar and ad dressing tho proprietor, who happened to bo present, she said: "Sir, can you ussist mc? I bavo no home, no friends, and am notable to work." He glauood at her and then at tho child, with a mingled look of curiosity and pity. Evidently ho was much surprised to seo n woman in suoh a plaoo bogging, but without oskiug any questions, gavo her some chango and turning to thoso present, said: ''Gentlemen, hero is a lady in distress. Can't some of you help her a little?" They oil cheerfully acceded to tho request and soon a purse of two dollars was raised and put in her hand. "Modamo," said tho gcutloman who gavo her tho money, "why do you come to a saloon? lt isu't a proper plaoo for a lady, and why aro you driven to such a step." f'Sir, I know it isn't a proper plaoo for mo to bo in; and you ask why 1 nm driven to suoh a step. 1 will tell you in ono short word," pointiug to a bottle behind tho counter labeled "whiskey;" "that is what brought mc herc-whiskey!" "1 was onco happy and surrounded by all thc luxuries that wealth could proourc, with a fond nod indulgent husband. But in on evil hour he was tempted, and not possessing tho will to resist temptation, fell, and in ono short year my (.'ream of happi ness was over, my homo was forcvor deso lated, and tho kind husband and tho wealth somo called mine, lost, never to return, and oil by tho accursed wino cup, "You seo before you only a wrcok of my former self, homeless and friendless, and with nothing left mc in this world but this littlo ohild;" and weeping bitterly she af fectionately caressed thc goldeu curls that shaded a faco of exquisite loveliness, llo gaining her composure, and turning to tho proprietor of the saloon, sho continued: "Sir, tho reason I occasionally enter a plaoo like this is to imploro thoso who deal in the deadly poison to desist, to stop a business that spreads desolation, ruin, poverty and starvation. Think ono mo* ment of your own loved ones, and then imagine them in thc situation I am io.

"Madame, I om not offended," ho an iwercd, in n voice husky with emotion, 'but thank you from my very heart for what you bavo said." "Mamma," said thc ohild, who, meantime ind been spoken to by some of tho gelitte nen present, tuking hold of ber mother's land, "these gentlemen wish mo to sing Little Bessie' for thom. Sholl I do so?" "Yes, darling, if you wish to." They nil joined in tho request, and plac ng her in a chair, t>ho sang in a sweet, ihildliko voice tho following boautiful song: 'Out in tho gloomy night sadly I roam, [ bavo no mother dear, no pleasant home; ^To ono cores for mc, no ono would cry, livon if poor littlo Bessie should dio.

Tho soono I shall novor forget to rn; dying day, aud tho sweet cadeneo of ho musical voico still riugs in my cars, and every word of tho song, us if droppod from her lips, sank dcop into thc hearts of thoso gathered around her. With tho golden hair falling curclcssly around her shoulders, her fuco of almost cthcrial beauty, and looking so trustingly and comfortingly upon tho men around, her bcatiful eyes illuminated with a light that scorned not of earth, she formed a pic ture of purity and innocence worthy tho genius of poet or painter. At tho clo.se ot tho song many wcro weeping; men who had not shed a tear for yoars now wept liko children. Ono young mon who had resisted with 6coru tho plead ings of a loving mother and the entreaties of friends to strive to lead a bettor life, to desist from a ocurso that was wasting his fortune and ruining his health, now ap? prouched tho little child, oud taking both lier little hands in his, while tears streamed down his palo checks, exclaimed with deep emotion: "God bless you, my littlo augell You havo saved mo from ruin and disgrace, from poverty and a drunkard's grave. If thero were ever angels on earth, you aro one; God bless you!" and putting a bill in thc bauds of tho mother, said: "Plcaso acocpt this trifle aa a token of my regard and esteem, for your littlo girl hos done mc a kindness I can never repay. And re member, whenever you otc iu wont you will ever find in mc a true friend," at the sumo time giving her his name and address. Taking her child by tho hand she turned to go, pausing at thc door and said: "God bless you, gentlemen! Acocpt tno heartfelt thanks of a poor, friendless woman for thc kindness and courtesy you havo shown her." Before any one could reply eh o wos gone. A silence of several minutes ensued, which was length broken by tho proprietor who exclaimed: "Gentlemen, that ludy is right, and I have sold my last gloss of whiskey; if any of you want more, you will have to go else where." "And I havo drank my last gloss of whiskey," said tho young man who had long been given up ns utterly beyond tho reach oi thoso who had a deep interest in his wollare-os sunk too low ever to reform. "There is a temperance organization in this oity called ?Temple of Honor,' and nt their next meeting I shall send up my nome to bc ndmittcd. Who will go with me?" "I-I-I, and I," several exclaimed in a chorus, and fifteen names wcro added to his. True to his word, tho owner of tho saloon where this strange scene was enacted, dis posed of his entire stock tho next day, and is now engaged in nu honorable business. Would to heaven that lady with her ??tie ono could havo gone into every hamlet, own nnd oity throughout the country nnd net with liko results! Thero arc many mob beggared widows, but few who nro iblo to speak so effectively. [Laramie Sentinel. PROHIBITION IN MAINE,-Gov.
