He Explains as to His Interview with Hewitt, Me The President, in the course of a long and | free conversation yesterday with a represen- tative of the New York Associated Press concerning political affairs, said that recent ly he received a dispatch from G Chamberlin informing him it was reported in Columbia that the Presi¢ in his interview with Representative Hewitt, of New York, @ week ago. remarked t when sixty-three members ofthe South Caro- lina house of representatives, having certifi- cates from the secretary of state, should con- vene, he would recognize them ‘as the legal house. The President, in reply to Governor Chamberlain, telegraphed him that if Mr. Hewitt had sent or authorized the sending of such a dixpateh it was antrue th expressed himeclf. The Presi had a freeand agi Hewitt, in which he Was the view a private opin The President further expressed the g ls on whi bers of the house ts, and in this ¢ ble telegram from Columb bird member, holding a ary Of state, has be presided over b3 his therefore organiz W as stated by you. ne day Mr. Hewitt seut bin other note as fellows: “I have just received a 1 stating that the supreme court olina has prononneed its jadgm: clared the house presided Wallace to be the ly constitatal house of representatives, and that Mackey is vate person, not speaker, or in 2 of the | ative boy lent said, with ret to these did not think after his fre vith Mr. Hewitt that the latter 8 e said for the pur ating hax" party which the Pr "5 t represented. When Mr. Hewitt and rv dispateh South Car ago, he informed Mr. Hewitt of the contents of the dispatch he had received from Gov. Chamberlain and the reply he made to it, and intimated to Mr. Hewitt that _ thought his confidence had been abused. Mr. Hewit: denied that he had sent to Columbia such a dispateh as that mentioned. The President then re; to Mr. Hewitt the substance of the dispatch in reply to Gov. So as to the report curreut in Co- embia. Senator Randolph then produced a dispatch from Gen. Hampton, in which he said if the President would recognize the Wallace house and withdraw the troops, he would do e very- thing possible to pee the peace. The President remarkec asa piece of impe pertinence on the part of Hampton in telling him what to do; that sending of troops to South Carolina wa obedience to the call of Goy. Chamber! the danger then being too formidable for the authorities of the state to control; th organized rifle clubs representing Hampton were in the city of Columbi that if the federal troops should te drawn there would be peace, but it would be the rest of death. Senator Randolph then jained that t President shel not think that Gen.Hampton sought to advise him what to do, and that the dispateh which was shown to the President was a reply to one that Senator Randolph had sent to Gen. Hampton. In response to a question th President said he had never instrocted Ruger to piace troops in the s that was the way Gen. Ruger orders. The troops were in South Carolina the President repeated, In obedience toa cali of Gov. Chamberlain, to Suppress insurre tion too formidal for him to control, and h it not been for these troops, Gov erlain Wwoukt be a refugee to-day, as mes now is from Mississippi. The President said in cours of conversation that he looked on the situat.on as ermbac ythe least A good deal of bad tempe een shown by the demoeratic side. ny were acting unreasonable. They seem r that he was doing what was right, and were abusing everybody for not yielding to their views. This struck him as strang: sidering the scenes through which we li ss iov. Hayes repré esented the party that ca ried in the late election but four of th States that furnished of the rebellion, and Gor but three of those whic the Union. In allusion to frauds he said the majority for Tilden in the city of New York was larger than his total majority in the en tire state, and in which city much crime is perpetrated, ‘and where there is a large num- r of men who have very little interest either in the state or in the republic. In the same frauds were committed in’ the states of New Jersey and Connecticut. While it. was true that those in the southern states who gave Gov iden a majority were voters, many of them voted more than once, but no- body claimed that Tilden did not carry such states. The same party that rpetrated frauds in the southern states for Tilden com- plain of frauds in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, but if there had been no frauds in Mississippi, North Carolina and Arkansas a would have gone for Hayes and Whee! a Present ienstified the exclusion of Laurens and Edgefield counties from the South Carolina returns on the ground that Georgians voted in them frequently, and cast more votes than there were voters for Canoes, Much been said about the se of troops, but, considering the number of lives and the many political murders in the south, it was necessa! the required protection. The President thought all was quiet now in the south, and so far as Le could he would protect every one from violence. ‘All steps taken to this end had been duly considered. The President, in reply toa ré- mark that it seemed the democrats had abandoned the idea of impeaching him, said he would advise them not to attempt it, ‘for it might bring out evidence which they would not like to see spread on the record. He would rather trust rebels than their northern allies. and tried to say as much in his an nual message. He did not receive all the reports from the bs iments in time, ard therefore he was obliged to leave out ‘of his message many subjects which otherwise he would have alluded to. He said in eae to aques- tion that he would answer the House resolu- tion and inform them why he sent trooy the south. Among other things the dent said in res to inquiries there were now six or éi; undred troops in Wash- ington, and if there should be any necessity formore he would order them hither. We should have peace if we have to fight for it. Some days he received five or six letters threaten! or assassination, but he paid no attention to them.
