Gov. soorr,s PLAN FOR THE FALL 0AnrA1os.-

Gov. ScoTr's PLAN FOR THE FALL CAMPAIGN
The correspondent of the Charleston News reports
an interview with Gov Sco7T, in which the action
of the Republican party at the next election was
freely discussed. We subjoin that portion of the
conversation authorizedto be made public:
The Governor was asked if f-there was any truth
in the report that State arms were being distrib-
uted throughout the counties. He replied that
arms had been sent to only one or two places
York county was mentioned as one-where the
"Ku Klux" or some secret organization had been
maltreating Republicans, beating them and de-
stroying their property.
To the question whether arms would be gene
rally distributed previous to the time of holding
the general election next fall, he replied that the
Legislature had passed I'm act providing for the
Organization Of the militia of the State; and asit
was his duty to carry out the provisions Of the
act, he intended to see them executed as quickly
as possible He wished to see the militia organ
lied under men #ho could be'trhsted vtoi preserve
order IN their districts tai any and at all times,
whether the disturbers of the peace, were Demo
Gratis or Republicans; he desired to see all classes
in the militia and it made no difference, to him
whether Confederate or Federal commanded
them; in fact, it never occurred ITO him to ask
such question; all he wished know was,
'swould' he obey and execute the laws: The
Governor mentioned one or two Confederate. off:
GERS whom he had either entrusted or intended en-
trusting with militia commands.
In response TO the interrogatory Would not the
arming of the militia and their presence at the
elections tend to provoke disturbance and cause
bloodshed? he answered that he thought not
that the knowledge that there was'a force ade-
quate to check all disturbances would deter the
evA.minded men in any community from commen;
cling or instigating disturbance. ..'Bat now rs!
me tell you, SIR" said he, 'you may rest assured
that after the next election the Republican party
will never go before Congress stating that it's 70?
tiers we're inlimidated or prevented from voting by
Democrats, Ku-Klux or any organization whatever.
The Republicans wantato have peace and order da-
ring the next election, and if; possible they will
have it. If the Democrats oan. beat. us fairly we
will submit but we will not be, driven from the
State, as some propose. We from the North have
come here to stay, and intend to do so. lf;the
Democrats choose to practice their old tricks ot
murder and Intimidation, the result will be terri
bile to them and to the State" ~ .r.<-:

THE CENSUS BILL DEFEATED.-After more than
seven months spent in perfecting the census bill,
involving very large expense, the Senate has de-
feated it by the vote 46 to 9. This is an end,
probably to all legislation the subject as it is
too late now to perfect new bill. The result is
that the census for 1870 will be taken under the
act of 1860. The old law was drawn up by Sena-
tors Webster and Benton, and it has been proven
by practical men to be the best that has yet been
devised.

Dull TINES IN NEW YonK.-A gentleman who
Wa in New York last week states that trade is

Cured before for the past twenty years. There

men out of Offices. Wimbush, negro, said that he

holding Office, but woe to the carpet-baggers Il
they succeeded The ecolored people would then root
