NEW York, Oct. 9.-Ex-Governor Daniel H. Chamberlain, iu an interview with a Press News reporter in the forc? er's law office, expressed himself freely and candidly this afternoon iu regard to the present condition and future pros? pects of the Sou'h Carolina railway. The trouble with that road is the old story; defaulting of interest on irs hoods, inability to meet obligations, followed by the inevitable consrqneo.ee of an attempt to relieve the difficulty by re-organization, the failure iu which results in legal proceedings and the appointment of a receiver. Ex Gover? nor Chamberlain is the receiver, and ."presents the situation in his own langu? age as follows : *4The South Carolina raliway made a default ia the payment of inn-rest on its first mortgage bonds last April, and in Coober of the present year; also on the interest of the secoud mo-tgage ia. January and July of the present year. Th's-made it plain to the holdets o?ts securities that the present admin? istration of the road w<?uld not bi able to-manage its affairs with financial success, and f >r the past six months the bondholders have been considering the necessity of bringing suit to fore? close either the first or second mort gage?, which would involve the ap - poiDtment of a receiver. "Duriug the past summer a plan was alto contemplated with a view to re organizing the road so as to avoid thc necessity of a foreclosure, bu* after careful consideration, it was found that j this could not be carried io to effect j without sacrificing a part of the invest- j ' meot of the first mortgage bondholders, j and the plan was abandoned. It was ? theo determined to place the road in i the hands of tbe courts as the most ] available method of protecting the in- j Crests of the parties. The present suit was brought by j holders ci second mortgage bouds, but -as I BQQCfstand, it has the approval of : a large number of bolder? of first mort? gage bonds. ' "As to my own purposes and views, . I will say that it will be my duty as re 6 cerver to use every effort to make the j ; road earn as much as possible, and to 1 protect the interests of al! its creditors; \ aad the best way to accomplish this is to exercise al; possible energy to pro- j cure new business for the road and close j eeonomy in expending the receipts. ^-"1-had the opinion that the road, should be managed so as to yield the i best possible benefit to people living in ' the section JOJL country through which it passes. This is equally for the nene- j fiTWIffce people of South Carolina as 'for the creditors, wherever they live, j I have no other plans or wishes in con? fection with the road other than to I .ta 1611 the trust imposed upou me o ?the best advaotage of ali parties in? terested. .*I feel confident that the road, by careful management and the practice of strict economy, can be made to pay full interest on its first mortage bonds and -le**?~over a surplus besides ; bot as to the latter-item, of course I can't ven? tare to make any positi-se statement " If the road should finally be sold, it ii &? opinion of Gove nor Chamberlain that the sale will not take place within ?weWe months. The earnest manner of the Governor and his perfect wH?regot.s that the South Carolina peo? ple,-and every one interested in the affairs of the road, should be made tully acquainted with the present condition ad well as what was contemplated as to itnre management, and his dis? claimer as to any personal plans or schemes of his own in the matter, leave no room to doubt that his convictions are sincere, and that the present un fortunate condition will call forth every effort to replace the wrecked road upon a sound financial footing. _ Sfoam Battle at the State Fair. ?V - A sham battle among the companies of State militia has been decided upon as ooe of the features of the State fair A circular from Adjutant Gea. Bon? ham will be sent to the captain of each company in the State, invitins his com? mand to participate.

After that Jthe battle will be fought and the troops Hoismisscd. There will be no jruard Iduty. At this season of the year nearlv ?every one visits Columbia anyhow.
