Ould be a refugee to-day, Az Gov.
Ames now is from Mississippi.
The President said, in the course
Of conversation, that he looked
| upon the situation to be embarrasS-
| ing, to say the least. A good deal
of bad temper had been shown on
the Democratic side, and many
were acting unreasOnably. They
seem to fear that he was doing
what was right. and abusing every
body for not yielding 10 their views.
This struck him as strange, cOnsid.
ering the scenes through which We
have passed. Gov. Hayes repre-
scented the party that carried in the
late election all but four of the
States that furnished the means for
the suppression of the rebellion,
and Gov. Tilden carried all tut
three of those which sought to de
stroy the Union.
In allusiOn to frauds, he said
the majority in the entire State, and
in which city much crime is perLe-
trated, and where there is large
number of men who have very 1t
tie interrs ST either in the State or in
the Republic. In the same way
frauds were committed in New J-r
Sey and Connecticut. While it was
true that those in the Southern
States who gave Mr.. Tiltlen a maj"r
ity were voters, many of them voted
more than once, but nobody claim
ed that Tillpn did not carry such
States. The same party that per
petrated frauds i'm Flo, ida, South
carolina and Louisiana, but if there
had been no frauds i'm Mississippi.
North Carolina and Arkansas, these
States wonll have gone for Hayes
and Wheeler.
The President justified the exclu-
sion of Lalrens and Ede field coun
ties from theSouth Carolina returns,
on the ground that GeOrgians voted
in them frequently, and cast more
votes than there were voters for he
Democrats.
Much had been said about the
use of troops, but considering the
number of lives sacrificed, and the
many political murders in the South,
and SO far as he could he would
protect them from viulcnce. AL
steps taken to this end had beer.
duly considered.
He said, in response to a ones
ton, tn 1t he would answer til.
House resolution and inform. them
why he sent troops to the Suulh.
In response to other ques' ions, he
said there we're now GOO or 800
roops in Washington; if ther..
hOuld be any necessity for more,
he would order them hitIler. We
should have peace if we have to
fight for it. Some days he re eived
five or six letters threatening assas
sinatiol., but he paid no attenti n
to them.
In reply to a remak that many
of tho Democrats had abandoned
the idea of impeachjng him, he
said he would advise them not t.
attempt il, for it would bring on,
evidence which they would not like
10 see spread on the record. He
would father trust rebels than theiI
Northern allies, and tried to say as
much in his annual message.
The President, referring to pOliti
cal complications, said lie had all
abiding faith in the people. A.
We have had one rebellion, he did
not Ge.ieve the people were anxious
for another, aud he thought there
would be me way out Ut our pres
ent difficulties.

,tfairs. The President said he had
rereIvpd them and that very late
h" preceding evening he nd re-
crived a telegram from Columbia
saying had informed parties ,her"
| that the President would recognize
as the legal House that body which
should have sixty three members
with certificates from the Secretary
of State. The President said he
had replied he had not made any
such statement. and did not believe
l had said he had, and that at any
rate 1t was not true. l replied. l
had not sent any such telegram,
but had sent one as nearly as |
could recoileot, as 70 lows: 81 am
able To Say the President will not
recognize, any House that does not
contain sixty three members, W til
original certificates from the Re
turning Board" The Presid mt re
pied, "that is correct l did So
that was my private opinion, but l
did not say that | would recognize
a House that had KY three mem
bers." l replied, ''that's true, but
l think it is implied, and we have
come to ask you to do So" The
President replied, that as at present
advised. he must decline doing SO,
and did not know that he would
recognize the other House; thu. {
Chamberlain VAS Governor until
some one else was regularly iIaugu
rated in his place. and that he wonld
sustain him. The President did not
say had violated his confidence in
any particular, but said it would
have been Il violation of his conf
Lence if l had sent the telegram
reported from Columbia, the send
ing of which 1 again denied. /
hen reminded the President he had
means of testing the accuracy of my
rrcolleciions of his statements, as
had dictated the substance of the
conversation Sunday, immediatel,
after the interview, and furnished
hin copy and requested him to
return it with any correction he
might choose to make, either to be
'ublished, or retained for his future
justification, in case, after the 4'h
Of March next, his intentions should
ne caiied in question. He has not
returned the copy SO furnished MOI
',,a.ie any corrections in my knowl
edge.
The President said nothing to me-
as to my using any of his statements
for the purpose of defeating the
party he represented. have never
regarded the President of the United
States as representing any party,
md should regret to see the Presi
lent take any other position than
that of the honOred head of thu.

gegard to party.

WAsHINGToN, Dec 1.-THE fol
lowing is furnished by Hon. A. s.
Hewitt:
In yesterdays papers read :,
dispatch reciting u conversation
with President Grant about the IN
fortunate state OF affairs in SOut h
Carolina, and my interview with
him in r-l,tion thereto. So far a.
South Carolina is concerned, the
President enjoined no confidence,
but expressly stated was at liberty
10 communicate his views to The
public. He did enjDin confidence
in regard to what he said OF the
Louisiana affairs, and that conf
,ipnee l have respected, although /
had already stated to him l believed
i he publication of his views wonli
do much to tranqnilize the public
mind. About South Carolina, the
President stated that in mis- iudg
ment not less than sixty three
members, having certificates from
the Secretary OF State, were eligible
to organize the House and transact
business. AS this view accorded
with my own, telegraphed in the
following language to A. &. Haskell.
Charleston: 81 am able
to say that neither House will b,
Recognized by the President until it
comprise sixty three members, hold
ing original certificates from the
Board" NV object i'm
-enling this was that thoughI il
would tend to allay excl ement in
South Carolina, and prevent a col

roops. Of which we were appreben
ave. On the 9th inst, l received a
-eply which led me t. send the fol
owing telegram to the President:
Il have received u reliable telegram
rom Columbia, stating that the 60
