Loxpon, Dec. 27.—The Pall Mall Gazelte, in 0 Reading artlcly, esys tho telegrams on tho Enst- ern question are cminently misleading, and warns its readers not to believe the dispatches nbout the British Ambassador, Bir Henry El- lott's return, the Marquis of Ballsbury’s ultl- matum, and the departure of tho English fleet from Turkish waters, ete. The article contin- uea: ‘“Sir Henry Elliott will leave Constanti- nople when tho couference is ended for a pe- tiod of rest, Bealka Bay {8 no placs for largo and heavy ships ot this acason, and the Marquis of Enlisbury’s business with the Bultan yester- day was not to present the proposals of the conference as an ultimatum. Likely enough his Lordship told tho Bultan that the rejectiun of the conference proposals would put an end to all discussion, and, should war cusue, ho must not expeet o word or act of support from tho Britlsh Government. But between & declaration of that kind nud the presentation of o threatening ultimatum there is & wide differ- once. The talk of nn agreement between Rus- #laand England goes o great deal too far, if it 18 ield to slgnify that Eogland will imposo Rus- slan demands on the Porte for the sake of peace. We may wish to sco thelr proposals ac- cepted. If they are refused, we shall not quar- rel with the Porte, but watch the outcoma of its refusal with a cteadv view to the protection of aur own position fu the world.” MORE HOTEFUL.

He came here eleven years ago, and bas lived here ever since. Therefore {by tho logic of South Carolinn) Hampton is & citizen and Chamberlain a carpet-bagger! But to resume tho report of my iaterview with the Governor: BOUTIS CANOLINA CONBERVATIVES, Q.—*Inotice that the Democrats down hero generally abnegate the title of * Democrat, and call themaelves ‘Conservatives.! What I want toknow fs, Whether the present leaders of the Democratic party in South Carolina represunt whnt we regard o the North es the conserva- tive element of polities, or whether they aro the samo class of men who were conapleuous in urglug the State into rebeltion?? Gov. Cliamberlain~*“The truth is that the term ‘couservative’ as used in this Btate for the lnst few years 18 & misnomer. *Radical Deomocrats! would be o much more appropriate tert. The leaders of the *Hampton move- ment’ have generally bieen the men who were tho ‘fire-eaters’ of 1860, the ‘Irreconcilables * of 1805, and the revolutlonlsts generally from that. timo to the present.” WADE HAMPTON A MERE FIGURE-IIEAD. Q.—“I have beon repeatedly told, since I came hore, that Qen. Hampton fs only tho ‘Figure-hend® of the pressnt revolutionary movement, but that Butlor and Gary are the real leaders. Are theso statements correct?” Gov. C.—* Yes; they are substantially gor- rect, ‘The * Hampton movement.! has been pop- ularly the ‘Straight-out,’ or ¢ Edgeficid * policy, nnd this {s neither more nor less than the * Miss- {3sippi? plan, called hore the ¢ Edgefleld policy,’ beeause it was most loudly advocated ot tirat in that county, and beeauso that county was most completely subjected to tho cffects of the ¢ Mississipp! plan,’ I should say, therefore, that the part which Hampton hos vlayed in the present canvpsas was correctly styled a ¢ Figure- Head! Q.—*Iscc it stated to-day in the papers, that Corcoran, (the Washington bauker) Bancroft, ond some others, are raising o testimonial—or ¢ passing round the hat'—for Gen. Hampton on account of his house having Leen Iately burned down, Although they, originators of tho sub- scription, dou't say g, it hos been published alt over the North that Gen. Hanpton's house was burned down by negroes. As a matter of fact, s his hotae been' burned down at all1? Gov. C.—*1 doynot understand that Gen. Hampton is now the owner of any lhouse, or has been of Iate in this State. The house that was burned down recently, as Tam informed (and I have never bieard tho statement contradicted), wea-the louso of his elster. Ido not think there is any evidence, elther, that the house was burned by negroes or by Incendlnries.” Q.—*“Well, 50 far you have explained the causcs of ‘the South Carolina Muddle” clearly, but there are some poluts yet that I do not un- derstand, There are one or two mysterics yet. The flrst s, what have you done, since last August—orwhat has beco done by your friends, —that nll the Democratic papers are now de- nouncing youin the most brutal terms, while tley prafsed you almost as warmly as if you had been s native of South Carolina bofore that time? And how does It come that you recefved sixty odd votes in tho Democratic Convention for Governor, agalnst elghtyodd for Hampton" QOV! CUAMUENLAIN AND THE DEMOCRATIO - LEADERS, Gav. C.—* I know of 10 excusc on the part of the people of South Carollug, for any change of sentiment toward myself, except what bhas grown out of what I cousider my slmple and 1aithful adherence to- the principles of the Re- publican party, und my denunciation of and re- slstance to all schemes of violence and massacre which have been carrled Into effect by the des- perate and bloody-minded leaders of the Demo- cratic party {n this State. Ido not beliove to- day that fu the minds of most of the white peo- ple of the State there Is an honest velief that 1 am adifferent man from what thoy belleved me 0 be a year or two years ago, “The most of the white people of this State are polltical slaves.

That was the Hamburg massacre, which occurred on tho Bthof July, Noman of humanity would have hesitated to denounce this massacreas moro than Indlan-like 1u fts barbarlty, I spokeof it interms of judl- clal nfldaess in all my publle addresses—judi- clal mildness, at least compafed with what the facts would have warranted, but still I was ovliged, of course, to denvunce ft. But my sontiments aud expressiona wore asserted by the leaders of the Democratis party to be a slander upon * the people of the 8tate,’ and espoclally upon the people who were responsible for this massacre. This was sclzed upon and used to the utmost to create prejudice against me, and to turn back the tide which had set toward my support and acquiescence in the course of events under my Adminlstratlon. Of coursy 1 could dq nothing to conciliate suchan element as this, and, as the featurcs of tho campalgn (as determioed upon by the Edgefleld leaders) de- veloped this, my attitude was simply amere announcement in opposition to this policy, and yet, us you have remiuded me, fu the Cunven- tion whichnominated Wado Hampton, there wers conslderably wore than one-third of the dele- gates who wers In favor of making no nomina- tlons for State officers, but Iu acquiesciug In my uom{nation as u Republican—]jolulng with me fn briuging about a union of the two races for the purpose of local home-government, while we might rewaln peacefully divideT~won all purely TRIBUN ment of the HURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1876 political {esucr, espectally upon the national {ssuer, TILDEN AND ABSASSINATION. ‘¢ Anotlrer great cause of the success of the Edgefield polley I belleve to have been the influ- encc of the national Detnocratic party, and par- ticularly the Influence which emanated afrectly from Mr. Tilden, Col.

Now look for nmoment ut what was done In 1805 and 1800 by thoae very persous who are now roclaiming that the Statd been ruloed by lie *carpet-bapgers.” i Tn 1685, under Johuson's reconstruction, the olitical power of the State was lelt in the same {:uuds that had held 1t before and during the War, ‘Tlho blucks were ndmitted to no share whatever {u tho Governmsent of the Btate, and had no votes. “ The Democratic Representatives in the Leg- talature proceeded to adopt laws which were do- signed to continue the same system of arlstoc- racy, and to exclude both the poor whites and the negroes not only from any present share, but from nuglp{mpuuuvu share, fu the Govern- ate. + T need not speak speclally of what Is so well known aa the ¢ Bluck Code’ of Bouth Carolina, It may be deacribed a3 preservingthe esscnes of slavery withiout {ts outward sppearance, and as really reduclng the blacks of the Suite to a couditlon lces favorabls than that which they occupled before the closs of the War, 4 ’icre whs not ouly no progrese, but, as I havo atated, thero wus no provision or place for rogross. Tho whols aitn of the Tuling clusecs Fheu was to continue thelr power, aud to pro- vide agalust avy extension of the suf- frage or of political fntluenco to any other por- tion of the people, cither white or black, ¥ Now, contrast this for a moment with recon- atruction upon the Congressionsl plan in 1867 and 1888, The Republicans tn tho Constitu- tional Conventlon adopted a Constitutiou which was just and liberal in every respect, putting no forin of political disability uiwu any man in the State of South Cuvoling. Infact, the Consti- tution of 1868 {s to-doy admitted by all parties in the State to be as fust aud wise as the Con- stitution of any State In the Unfou,” .~*DId you notice that Gen, Toombs, of Geos i his famous specch lust apring before the Leglslature of his State, in urging o new Constitutlonal Conventiou, sald that hodid not belicys {n representation by population, that they had nover had it fu Georgla, aud tberetore that Lie was in favor of calliug a new Coustitu- tlonal Convention in order to devise a Constltu. tion In wlich the ‘nigger would never Lo heard of again'l I was tald in Wushington lust win- ter that when the Georglans catoe up with thelr Constitutton to Cun‘x;rcu that some Georglan spoko of it sneevingly as +a Constitution made by carpet-bageers lnd niggers,’ and that there- upon kronu\or [hurman rewarked that *if carpot- hagyers and nui;;un could make a Constitution gll“i‘ l{l;l.l' ne wished to God they had some fu hio.' POLIOY OF TifN REDEL ODSTRUCTIONISTS, Gov, C.—* Yea; I recollect "Poombs' speech, and ho spoke tho truc views of the leadersof the white people of Bouth Carolina in 1605-'60, which would be their views to-day if it woro not for the futroduction of Lepubtican fdeas and thelr enforcement by the Ropublican party fu this Btate siuce 1507, # Now, then, under this Constitution of 1808 d:Plorub e ubuscs have grown up fa the practle cal administration of the (loverument, but they 'were abuses, ugaiy, for which justice wiil assign a greater responsibility to the vame white people wfia are to doy laylug them wholly to the Ro- publican party, or, to use thelr own stang, The wiggers and curvet-bagwess! 1f Lo 1807 aud 1303 anything like a sense of public duty or political wisdom had prevalled among the ihite people In Bouth Carolina thev would have exhibited a disposition to co-operate with the Republicans of this State in establishing & good Government on the Constitution of 1868, “Instead of thix, they not only sulienly stood aloof fromn all par- ticipation in the framing of the Consti- tutfon (and I must’ may think South Carolinn was in this “Instance the galner by their folly), but when it came to the rnwtlcn work of cirrying on their Government firough that Constltution, there was a great lat- ftude allowed them, whicli, from the nature of tho case, was abuscd by the former governing white people of tho State. * Let me mention In passing that In the Con- stitutional Convention of 1808 there was nota single Demnocralic member, although at that time, and at tho firat election held under that Coustitution, no lcsa than thirteen counties of the State were clearly Democratic, This shows how atrikingly voluntary and self-lmposed was thelr exclusion from that Conyention. Owing to this causc tore Jargely than any other, suma men, carelers of the public good, ur fgnorant of the effects of unwlise legislation, at- tempted to gain too great an ascendency In the Ttepublican party, and brought about the evils of ‘which I have spoken. BENEPICENT RESULTS OP ' CARPET-BAG RULE.", “But, atlll, over and above all these evils, we havae this to show for Republican rule in South Carolina: A free and just Constitution under whicl, 8o far as the organic law can effect it, the rights of all the people of Bouth Carolina are secured s o just distribution of the political power of the State between both the races and among all the people; n system of taxation which is in my judgment s correct s has been devised in any Btate in the Unjon; a system of local affairs “ond local administration which fs simple, convenlent, and as unexceptionable as can be devlsed; s system of public education which embraces extends to all the people of the Beate alike; and now, after the first eight years® expericnce under dm Constitution, a babit of sc)f-governiient, aud to the exercise of political power on the part of all the people of the State, which would never have dawned upon the Btate except under Republlean rule, and under what, a8 I liave said, {s so universally called ‘the carpet-bag sdiniufstration.’ “Now, put {u one scale the virtual stagna- tlon and practical oppressions of the old system, and in ttie other scale the frce and open pros- pect, and the actual progress fn all the habits and methods of self-goverunient, which we have seen alnce 1808, andalung with it the great abuses of which I have apoken, and I submit that no mau who values political freedom, or who s capable of llrlklmi'n (]uu Lalauce between the two systems, will hesftate to say that at the end of elgnt years wmore of experlence under the Iree government fn South Caroling, but will confess, what a few of us are able to sec to-day, namely, that Republicanisin, with all its faults, has made Southi'Carolina its debtor in a sum greater than that carued by any other political ageucy known to our history. “And [ am not Aufi'lug this ta-duy for the iirst time, noram I fuifucnced by recent events fn now saylng It, but slimply because, when the enemles of the Republicain party flaunt tu the face of the nation the sins of the furmer carpet-bag govern- ments of South Carolina, it 1s proper that some- body should tell them that alung with these Bouth Carolina has In fact been making the teat progress that she has ever mude in the same uuinber of years." IN CONCLUSION, Q—*In other words, Governor, while you consldered it P'unr Quty to act the part of St. Patrick in killing the Tittle black *snakes® in your own party, you do not think that the Bmzrcas of civiilzation In South Carolina would ¢ hnstened by putting it under the care of the * Wild Beast Butler,' of Edgefieldi 1 have no- tieed that true reforniers dfffer from the shom reformers In this respect: that the sham re- former {nsists that o small-tooth comb is the only symbol of reformation, wille e considers it ol right to lay down the rific when the wolves are at the door—and ‘deprecate? any reference to thelr howls.
