Col. John McEEcry.

Our gallant candidate for Governor
returned home from New Orleans on
Thursday evenings train. He was
addressing large meetings in the city
nearly every night of his stay and from
wholly impartial sources We arc adj
viscu that his presence everywhere
aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Col.
McEnery and the other members on
the Dcmocratic-R Reform ticket will en-
ter actively upon the canvass about
the 18th proNimo, beginning in this
portion of the State, probably at Far
mervillc. We ask our people to give
them a rousing reception, and throw
all their old shoes after them as they
leave. Dates Of appointments will be
published next week.
1t is impossible for us to tell our sub
scriber, Mr.. a. J. Bowden, of Winns-
boro, why his paper does not reach
him. Our mailing arrangements could
not be more perfect or reliable; and
hence we know that this Office is rarely
over to blame for failure to receive a
paper. In the case of Mr.. BoWdcn, it
is absolutely impossible for the Winns-
boro package to leave this office, or TO
reach Winnsboro, without his paper
being in the package, unless it be
opened Oh the route. And the same
thing is true of the paper addressed to
David Aren't, Earmcrvillc, who has
also notified us of IL failure to receive
his paper. In his case, the package
seems to have been received at Farmer
vile, but his paper was not to he found.
This was simply impossible. Just as
certain rs the package reached Farmer
willie, or Il single subscriber got his pa
per, Mr.. Arent's arrived there too, I'M
less the package was opened on tn"
route.

Interview with Gen. Ruckner.

New York Herald Niagara Falls Letter
Among the prominent guests stop
ping at the Clifton House is General
Buckner, OF Confederate army memory.
He is a splendid specimen Of South
erner, tall, finely-formed, and perfectly
free and outspoken in his beliefs and
opinions.
what do you think 1 asked him
today in the course Of q conversation,
"ol the present political situation at the
South?"
Il think" be promptly answered, lit
il the mos; deplorahie that can be i'm
agned," and then he continued: The
South is under bayonet rule. A much
worse military depotism can not be con-
ceived. Carpet-bsggers have stolen
money right and lett. We might sell
North Carolina and Florida TO day, and
they wonld not bring money enough to
pay their State debts. Louisiana is
moi much better oil. | know people
il New Orleans who would be glad to
rent their houses Tor the taxes"
'YOu draw q gloomy picture, Gener-
al"
"Only a true one, sir," he spoke out
energe!icaIly. The South is 10 much
worse condition to-day than at the close
Ol the war.
40 what DO you attribute this ?
TO the Government We have been
under"
80 the REMEDY would be change OF
government
Precisely this and nothing else
that is, il the change be the right kind
of one
$50, then. it il clear you are not in
favor ot the reelection OF General
Grant?
"By no means, and these are not nv
individual sentiments, bu. those OF all
the born white SJutherners. Grant will
get no vot.S excepc those OF his carpet
bag minouI and threves ani the ne-
gr".-.
And all your people, then, will vote
Tor GireelrN2
"rnrre j. no other alternative. We
want change in the Government, and
\ cnange even under Greeley, with all
his lmprac,icable theories and notions,
might ne tor the better.
How about the negro voteY
"rhey will vote for Grant of course
they will do the bidding of the carpet
ba!gers; they will be marched to the
y lI- ia semi.miiitary style. and votes
placed in their hands, which they will
cas-. not knoHiUg what they are. They
are told that il they vote for Greeley
ihev will lie reduced To slavey again,
AMI they believe it. do not know how
long TINS sort Of thing Is going to last.
1t is ruly dI,bear;cning. There IL not
an irstance on record OF any attempted
resistance hv Confedrrates TO the Gov
ernmcut. The people are loyal. Our
country might be made unit, which
it il not, and the South be made pros-
porous and happy" i
