A correspondence between Secretary Sew
ard and Provincial Governor Perry, is pub.
lished, in which the former responded to in.
quiries as to when the latter will cease to exercise
! the functions of his Office. Mr.. Seward in re-
ply says that Gov. Perry will continue to act
| until relieved by express order of the Presi-
dent.
The Worlds correspondent says that ac-
counts from all parts of the State indicate the
election of Wade Hampton as Governor of
South Carolina. AS an evidence of this he
cites the votes polled in Charleston, and in the
elective district of Berkley composed of the
parishes included in the Judicial District of
| Charleston. Outside of the corporate limits of
| the City of Charleston, the vote stands for Orr
| 7sO, and for Hampton, 66l. In the parishes
| just mentioned, the vote stands 224 for Hamp-
| ton, and 6l for Orr, leaving Gen. Hampton a
majority Of 40 votes.
| Gen. Howard, Commissioner of freedmen's
affairs. on the 18th, in an address, explanatory
of the object of the Freedmens Bureau and
| his present visit to the South delivered in the
presence of Mayor Macbeth, the Common
| Council and prominent citizens of Charleston
| makes some announcements of importance,
in regard to the general state of hostile feeling
| towards the Bureau in Charleston. The
| Mayor said he had no hope for the country
| until civil law was completely restored and
that what the General said was the clamor of
politicians, but that he had generally found the
| planters favorably disposed the continuance
| OF the Bureau experimenting the affairs. He
| himself, as we'll as the President. was anxious
| that civil law should be again untrammelled by
| the military, but the negroes having lost the
pro, ection of their masters need some guaran-
| tee for the safety of their interests, and until
| the State allowed the freedmen to testify in the
| courts he free to say that the Bureau
would continue. The President he stated
would be very chary Of surrendering the State
| to civil law until stop put to the out
| RACES on the blacks. The General gave en-
couraging replies to the planters who are seek
ing the restoration of their property, and said
he hoped to soon see Wholesome laws, guar
| anteeing the rights Of freedmen passed by Leg
| lsature. and the present difficulties between
| the two races settled. He announced his pur-
posesof establishing courts consisting of one
officer and two citizens, to take cognzance for
the present, Of complaints for.or against the
| colored people.
Gen.. Howard subsequently addressed the
negroes along the coast and then took his de-
parture for the State capital to confer with
| Con. Perry.
