Grant on the Situation in tho South.
CHICAGO, August 12.-Washington spe-
cials give the substance of an interview be-
tween the President and General Tarbell,
Secretary of the Republican Executive
Committee of Mississippi, at the residence
of Secretary Fish, last Saturday. The
President spoke very feelingly on the stu.
alton. lie said that the small number of
those who hitherto acted with the National
Republican party and are now engaged in
the Dent" movement is in itself evidence
that they could not be otherwise than used
by the opposition. In regard to the re-
cent proposition of the ex-rcbels he said he
would do anything to bring about peace,
but these people cast suspicious upon their
own motives by the fact that all their ef-
forts seemed intended to divide and not
aid the Republican party. If they were
really in eanest they would not be so about
those with whom they acted. 1t is not diff.
ficult for sincere men to tell who have been
friends of the Administration in the South.
He declared that their sympathics were all
with the Republicans, and against any eff.
forts to divide them from whatever source
He spoke warmly in praise Of Gen. Ames,
the military commander and fully endorsed
his course. In regard to Virginia, he said
he believed Governor Walker intended to
act with the Administration, but regretted
the failure of the efforts of Col jenkins
to unite the two wings Of the Republican
party in that State. He said that DR.. Mi
ncr's reply to Col. Jenkins letter showed
that the followers Of Walker were not all
acting in good faith. A report of the in.
terview had been written out and will be
submitted to the President, when printed,
for his approval.
