NEw York, july sO.-The Times WISH
ingtOn speeial ssys the South GorOlira Del
egatiOn, headed by Gen. Perry, had an IN
terview with the President at O'Clock this
"Wednesday evening. which resulted
in mutual satisfaction Of bo.h parties. It
spp.ars that the delegation was suggested
at various town meslings Throughout the
sia'e. The members had been selected and
were on their way to this city before the
news that Gen. Perry had been appointed
p. DIVISIONAL Governor Of that State. Cen
Perry 6rss heard Of his appointment when
he had got twenty miles from home.
Ia the course Of an Interview this morn
ing, Gov. Perry ASSURED the President that
South Carolina would be represented by her
CJngressmea in the month Of December
next, aud doubtless by the frat day Of the
session. that the State would adopt the
amendment to the constitution abolishing
slavery. The parish system will be abol-
ished; that the Presidential electors will
hereafter be elected by the direct vote Of the
people, and in general the State laws viii
conform to the spirit and form OF The Moth
/ era States and TO the Federal Constitution.
Gov. Perry issued proclamation tots
evening, which viii 90 forward by special
messenger to morrow morning, ca ling a
State Convention, to meet on tue I'd Non
day in September, for the formation Of |

Of several measures therein suggested.
NEW YoRE, July 2O.-Provisional Cover
nor Perry made q rensrla able speech at Gun
vile, South Carolins, on the Sd inst, before
he knewof his appointment. Ita tenor may
b inferred from these expressions:
Mr.. Chairman, viii here frankly say,
as I have often said during the pa four
years, that there was not man n the uni
ted States who more deeply regretted the
secession OF the Southern States than did
at the beginning OF the revolution, and there
is not now in the Southern States any one
who feels more bitter the humiliation aud
degradation Of going back into the Union
than do. know l shall be more prosper |
Gus AMI Ia fpy in TIE Union than Gus OF
it." He also said that jeff Davis was NOT |
specially to be blamed for the failure Of the
rebellion; that the people instead Of fight |
ing had skulked from the field that John
ston had $1,000 men on the muster rolla Of
his army, but only - 900 in his ranks and |
addresses Of ngress to Mr.. Chairman
il greatly to blame for their exempt ms.
All bslwsen the agss Of Is and as should |
have been forced into the army, and kept |
there, it mattered not whether he was doc
Tor, lewyeror preacher.
Strange to say. tse three classes Of men
who were instrumental in pluuging the
country in this mad revo utiJn were ell ex-
enpt by Congress from figh ing. alludo 10
the politicians, editors, and preachers. This
was lot fair; the man who gets UP fght |
should always take his share Of it. He also !
said that President Line5la's death was no
loss to the South, that he was q wing and !
Hon-slaveholder; while johnson was dem
ocrat who has held slaves, and who voted for
Breckenridge in 1885, therefore, the people
should have every eonadenc, in him. De
