Hnrtwcll, a gentleman of wide reputa - lion and of no ordinary ability, is canvassing the South in the interest of Chinese missions in the UujtedStates. In view of the interest tho omigral on of these people to our country is ex citing, na shown l>\ the debate and veto of the Chinese hill in Congress, t! o recent adoption of tho anti Ugh inesc contilution in California, and I ho general political agitation of the question, "e interviewed this ? gentleman on his passage through Orangcbtirg last week, for the benefit of our readers, and l!i<j j following is t' o result : Reporter?How long have you lived among theChiucse? Answer?Sevcnto ni years. R.? During your sojourn am ng them have you been so situated as lo become intimate with their customs, tnodciol living and general character ? A.? Living, n< 1 have done, in the midst of the people, Ii!? very few Europeans near me, and, part of the time, none except my own family; preaching lo, and did. listing with tho people daily; travelling much in the c ountry and in interior cities, seeing the people at their public gatherings and in their own houses mingling with the official and literary clashes, as well as with those in the humbler walks of life, my opportunities for learning the Chinese character and habit.- of life, have been most ample. Ri?Does your experience in re ference to them coincide, in the main, i with what we learn about them from history and other sources? A.?Very much of thr so-called ! "information" about the Chinese which has been current in this coun try, is entirely unreliable, Travei C^i^vhodiaye.remained a few weeks at ou2 or more of the open ports, und received their information at second, third, or fourth hand, from persons who did nol themselves speak t i i; esc, hut had received what they thought they knew, from servants or Coiupradores, who delivered their information often iu "pidgin Euglish, have written most readable, bill un reiialdc chapters about the ( hi nesa. Uf lute yeuis the number of Europ eans who learn the Chinese language Was very largely increased, and, consequently, the information which has been cominy- to us of late has been much more truthful. R.? You have beard of Ihe bills j imuI debates in Congress in reference to the emigration o' those people to | America, what do you think oft hem v A.? 1 read the Anti Chinese lJiil, , ,. . . . . i uiel tin dismission on it in tue senate. I think liiere is need, beyond dispute, ? .... . i :i modihcaiion of the Uttrlmgame treaty,?especially, of the so-called ''rcciprjcity clauses," -but, the pas sage of til.- Rill while the treaty i exists, without run ever havin<j pro ! posed to tho Chinaso Government the modification desired, involved n most 1 Ha*:rant violation of lite National 'nitli. I am snti-licd the Chinese Government could be made to see that iht: so-culled ''reciprocity clauses" nie not rcciftOKitl in tho privileges they grunt, and that, upon .me representation, that Government would lie eric to such a modification ol the Treaty as w. uld meet ihe necessities of tin; case as it presents itsell to Americans. R.? Iu your travels do you lind thai ihey are confined to California, or are they making their way else where ? A?They arc making their way eastward, more and more every year. They tire in Louisiana. I fount! them in MemphisTenn., iu Little Iio.dc Arle , in .New Volk, in Augusta, Ga., and other placta North and South. "And j still they come !" It?Do yon think Micy will ppreul ! themselves all over America? A ? Undoubtedly, they will. It?As agriculturists or iaboreia what do you think of them? I A?in their own country they are I beautiful fanners, and, as a rule, they are a quiet, law-abiding, hurd-work ing, thrifty people. Under proper management they niuke vetg goon servants. .The chief difficulties that have been experienced in employJug them in this country have arisen, I kink, out of the fuels (1st) that they do not speak English, and (2d; that their employers have not kno wn how to manage them. They work in squads, only one, or x. few ? I whom .?peak English. The English speak j ing one. aet< as "boss," gives as much or as little of the employer's ordors i as he likes, and appropriates part of tlr; wages of all theothor laborers f .' his services. There is, therefore, no direct communication between the emplover andtlie employee, and mis j understandings nnd dtsjattsfactiou a:'e t the almost necessary result, j It--Do you tlii?k their criming to ; the United Stales will bo a cunj >v a benefit to our people? A?Unk-ss elevated by the Christian Religion, from their present degrad ed condition, they will prove, socially and morally an unmitigated curse. Materially, I believe they might, under proper management,, be made to serve us a good purp >sc. R ? What is the duty of this coun ^|y in refeiece to them in a political and religious, point of view ? A ? I am no poi itician and have- no j political views to present. lint, experience h:is tau gut thai the Re ligion of Jesus Christ does elevate the Chinaman, intellectually, social ly, morally, spiritually, and that it is ihe '?ii',y ogrnty that can ever make the Chinese fit to live among white people. On philosophic grounds, theie iore, us a matter of scli'dcfcmc; on patriotic ground.*, on philanthropic grounds, as well us on Christaiii grounds, oar pre-eminent duty to lite Chinese in America is to orange* Use them. 1 Fiornl Fair. This long announced Exhibition of I Orangebttrg's flowers took place ou last Friday. Considering the late ness of the season the collection ot flowers was. vciygood. 1 he attend ance was not as large as it may have ! ecu, but the necessarily close atten tion of the fanners upon their crops just at this time was doubtless the cause. The ball at night under the aus pices cf the Quintette Club was quite j a success, the young folks reveling in the dizzy tauze until the wee sma' hoars.

A New York "Herald"' Reporter has interviewed Senator Butler of South Carolina, and elicited the fol lowing views on the topic.) mention ed : EXTRA SESSION, lie thought the extra session ad vantageous for the Democrats asJfc I was important to organize the House as quickly as possible iu view of the uncomfortably small Democratic majority, and the intervening Cali fornia election before thn regular session, and the unreliable character of the Greenback rolu nn which the Republicans may manipulate. THE APPROPRIATION DILL, lie thiuks that after Hayes his vetoed the Legislative Bill, the Democratic majority ought to pass the politic.il features as a separate measure, and when Hayes vetoes them, we should p iss the appropriation Bill, pure and simple, and go home, and we ought to do that at once. BAYONET ELECTIONS. The Republicans have fallen into a trap,and uuwbely committed them selves to the doctrine of bayonet elections. If the people of the North can stand it ivo can. He does not think that passing the appropriation bills would be in any way.a "back down." The Radicals don't want uj to pass them, and it is always safe to do just what your eujmiej don't want you to do. There is no objection to a standing army, but there is to its being used for partisan purpose*. There is a strong undercurrent of conservatism running through the masses of the. people North and South and we should do nothing harsh tu .-hock or frighten that clement. Tuj people are tired of foolishness o;t both sides, and they want straight forward practical statesmanship. NEGRO EXODUS. He thinks this exodus is inspirited by Republican politicians at Wash ington, but that it will he a blessing instead of a disaster to the South;and that the negroes as well as the white people of the ?outh wMJ be bsuefitlod. Ho wanted to sec two or three hund red thousand negroes carried North, anil hopes that a huu Irod thousaud will leave Souch Carolina, an 1 m.iko room for white immigrants. Too much cotton is the curso of the South, and tve want a class of people who will diversify the crops. COLONIZING THE NEGRO, lie would like to see the experi ment tried, but thinks it would be better to distribute them among the people ot the North, where they could be under the fostering care of their Itepublican friends. Such a distri bution he thinks would settle thn much vexed raco questiou in this country. It is a mistake to suppose that the negro can't stand the climate of the North. He can stand it just as well as tho white man from the South. Moke tho bridge from the cradla to manhood just as long as you can. Have your child just ns long as you can, especially if you live in a city. Be not in hasto to lorco your child into premature development by in telligence or anything els3. Let it bo a child, and not a littlo ape of a man running about tho town.?Spur gcon. Gen uJoo" Johnston, ouoj lieuten ant general of tho Confederate Artpy, offered the resolution yesterday under which tho House of Representatives adjourned in honor of Decoratijn Day. It was a graceful act.?N. Y. Tribune, May 30. An Augusta mau has sold seven bushels of watermollcvu seed, at the rate of ihirty-two dollars a bushel,
