Reoorter. II Is also stated that you WIN

from LOUISIANA
| Senator P. That is a different question.
The dispute in Louisiana has not yet been
settled. but hold that Senator's that are
elected b, the same Legislature that de-
cl.red the election for Governor shouid be
admitted to their seats in the Senate, wheth-
er it be Democrat or Republican.
Reporter. What do you think VII be the
future Of the Republican party In South
Carolina :
Senator P. The Republican party has
clear. unreasonable majority IN South Car
ohps of over 90 900 votes in q fair election,
aud DO not give up the hope of carrying
the : tate at the next election for the admin
istration candidate, whoever he may be.
think that the Republicans Of the South
will fall into the support o; the Administra-
.ion. and that they will vote for any mah
Shs Gill be supported in 1878 by the Presi-
/ dent when We elect cur next Governor.
hope that Hr. Hayes course in the mean
;i.as AM Ne such as TO satisfy the Repub'i-
sans Of the State that this is the proper
| thing for them 10 10, and If il results IN the
Democrats and Republicans all voting for
the same candidate we will have A. much
s.tisfaction IN the stccsss of that move
ment as the Democrats, but II the policy Of
the Administration should be sntagonized
hereafter By the Democrats, and if Cover
nor Hampton will keep his pledges of fair
PLAY, even though he is not the next Ad-
ininistrsti, candidate for Governor, then
the Republicans can carry the State. This
is all based, however, npon the pledges Of
Governor Hampton that We are to have
fair and free election. At present the party
is panic-stricken and completely d-moral-
-, ali zad in SnUtll
Carolina and under good discipline. and the
leaders will be able 10 soon rally the party
and IN the next election make a good stand
for whoever they may select As their candi-
date.
REMARKS OF A GENERAL NATURE.
Before closing want to subjoin few
remarks OF general nature. want TO say
that the Southern Republicans are asking
no favors of the Northern Republicans.
After the October elections III. Re-
publican party of the North, backed by
such papers as the New York Tribune.
Times, aud such other papers as are now
abusing the scsrpet-baggers." made fran
tic appeals to the Republicans in the three
States Of South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida to save thu party and secure the
election of HAYES. After the November
election, when 1t wss apparent thar they
needed every one OF our electoral votes,
newspapers and ota;ors of the party North
cried out to US to hold the fort for Hayes
aud Wheeler, and We did so against terrible
odds and threats of violence. During the
electoral count the Republicans from the
South in both branches Of Congress stood
firmly by the decision of the tribunal,
whereas they could have defeated its entire
purpose, and by acting With the Democrats
elected Tilden President, which could not
have made US any worse of in South Caro-
lima than We are now.
For my part, have bsen turned over
every day by the newspapcrs-one day for
Hampton and the next day for Chamberlain
one day in favor of the Administration and
the next day against it, have pever been
for Governor Hampton, and | am not now
for him, except that must submit to the
inevitable. / fought his pretensions to the
last moment when there was hope, and pro-
tested against Chamberlain's surrender. i
have been constant all the way through in
trying to save the party in the State. NJ
call upon Governor Hampton was one of re-
spect and to get information. as he was
placed over me without my consent. had
nothing to sell to Governor Hampton, and
he did not propose buying anything from
me.
