The NEXT CAMrAIGN.-I had the
pleasure Of listening to highly
interesting conversation this evening
between Governor Scott and a reporter
of tho press. In reply to an expression
of hope on tho part Of tho latter, that
the Governor did not intond to send
ot ar'clhg tho negroes, with Wow to
the conduct of the next election, the
Governor said there was no disposition
to adopt any such measure but where
it was made absolutely necessary
The Governor stated that arms had not
been sent generally throughout tue
country, but he was determined 60
have fnir election at tho next cam
paign Mt NIL hazards. He said that nei-
ther the Republican party nor the ad :
mlnistration were ever going to Con-
gress again with thossta tenn ont tha tho
State government or the people were
intimidatcd from voting. The repor-
ter gave it as his opinion that arming
the negroes would be tho very worst
policy for the negroes and the Radi-
cal party that it would lead to tho
hottest. kind Of fighting, in which the
negroes would be swept away and
every Radical driven out of tho State.
The Governor said if the Democrats
or any other were determined to in.
augnrate suoh fight, ho would do his
duty and stand to it to tho last, even
IT 1t resulted in tho State being made
a desert from the seaboard to tho
mountains.-- Col. Cor. Charleston Cou-
rier.

hundred thousand francs within the

embrace the period of the Rochefort
excitement the bank return supplies
very solid popular argument against
