Tba interview la quite lengthy, and wt eau only furnish ex ; tracts td ?how. tho general tehoT of lits views. In ans vier to the question what would barn been UM NStfM if lie bsd Leen BVSjIatasd fully by the Legislature and the general gov ernment, ChandWlair. gaya : 'Tho cont*'' * uow over and I d? not caro to parr ' .t the blame for present results or to aupwr to reflect upon particu lar individuals or departments of govern ment. This, however, I can say with con fidence, that if I had been enabled to carry ont the plans and purposes If expressed in my inaugural message of D?o?mber 1.1874, I should bare achieved all that Gen. Hamp ton lias done. Probably bis full term of office will be required to develop his plans. Had I the same time, I should have effected Uie same results. My primo object was tho restoration of good goTcrnmsnt aud an hon est administration, and I think it is general ly admitted that what I proposed to this end was sympathetic with tbs wishes of; tl va in telligent community. 1 believe thai I pur sued those plans consistently and with som? degree of fi mi ness and courage. It Ss true that I was not successful, but those who have watched tho course of events iii the State are perhaps better qualified than I am to see who is responsible for the failure ; I certainly do not feel that I am. I am still of tlii opinion that a better condition of af fairs would have been reached under my administration than under that of General Hampton, Lecture no man's civil or politi cal rights would have been abridged or denied. AsT have already inti matea, I re ga?? the present supremacy of, thc Demo artic party as due to methods which disre garded the political rights of a great numbci of the cltltens of a State. There was a largs majority of the people of South Caroline entitled to vote who desired a continuance of the Republican administration, and I de not think that General Hampton represent tliia element. Still 1 believe ne will endeav or to make a good and honest government so far as its financial and practical depart men ts are concerned. I regarded the ignornncj and incxperlenci of the masses of the Republican party ii South Carolina os ono of the inherent ant great difiicultias in th? political problem, was under tho political necessity of makin] political appointments to offices from a par ty which as a rule, was not able to furnia! competent o ill con to represent the govern ment. The majority of the Republicans in th Legislature were noverbeartily Insympath; with me during my first term of office Nearly all the public meas*ires in which took a deep interest were passed by minor ties of Republicans and Democrats. Tb reduction of taxes and a moro economics expenditure cf public funds wera natara! 1 tho leading objects which I had in view; an here it is but justico to eay that I met wit almost ontiro opposition within tho ranks < the Republican party. I had to extend tl treater part Of my strength in resisting win regarded as bod legislation, and I had vet little time or strentah left to devote to tl inauguration of better methods or the ei actment of better laws. Of course my ide of the way in which a reformation must I brought about was through thc Republics party, becauso I know that a majority of tl i>eoplc ol tho State were attached to til ?arty, and that there was no hopes of ii ucing them to join any other organizatio even for local State purposes. But tl habits of tho legislation w Inch had grow up between 1808 and 1874 were too strong f me. and the result was that I was overcor and my policy only partially carried oi A great deal or evil was prevented and sor positive good was done, but only a smi fraction of the results which were with the pow* f of tho Repnb?csn -party, had co-operated with m V was made evident, feel bound to say tnat if I bad been hcarti supported from 1874 to 1870 tho state of fe ing which preceded tho nomiantion of Ge eral Hampton would not havo existed, brief, if my administration had been sc ported by tho whole Republican party, wonld have deprived the Democrats of th grievances and made them acquiesce in f eupiemacy of the Republican party fo: long series of years." He declares that, no change of circu stances in political fortunes will ever lc him to dany or depr?calo the generous a hearty support which tho beat men of Soi Carolina and tho Democratic party gave h from l?Y-? down to tho nomination of Han ton, and that no public man was ever ni heartily or unselfishly supported by pol cal opponents than he was during tl period. As to the ability' of the colo race to administer the affaira of governme h5 caya : ' 'I. think the colored people B ?O just as cc potent to legislate and conduct o governm as any other people who have nod as li education and oxperieuce. They only w brains. It is idle to expect under any i cums tan ces a good government withou large preponderan co of intelligencn i strength of every community in the Un is measured by this fact. T: iiile, thor eh I do not reflect on the colored race in say that they were badly prepared for.the t they assumed, I still contend that soeces; self-government, under the law of unive sufirago, requires education, intellect training and a Large amount of accumule political experience-in short, an um standing of tho duties of citizenship. C ce rn ing tho intention? of the r"?"*-*? of colored peoplo of bouth Carolina, I th they are lionest. Their misfortune has b that they were not sure to anticipate or low the effects of measures that were en ai by their representatives until these messt bad taken root and wrought their evil rest And then they were too ready to be led designing and unprincipled men,' who came by fo^vi of superior o poor t uni tica | leadens. aen ? say this, I d?sir? part lnrly to cJd that I do not east more bli upon the colored than upon tho white I era of the Republican party in South C lina. Upon the whole, I think my own: has aa much to answer for any connec with bad leadership in that State as the. ored race. The result is the san'a, leaders and ignorant followers could work out tho problem of good governm Thia has been the great obstacle and ! d ran co to tim success of tho Republican p in the Soutl a States,', and it may b< down .aa-IV. principal cause of. our c throw.
