Wade Han.pton's Character.

WHAT SENATOR ROBERT son SAYS OF
HIM.
The correspondent of the n. Y. Herald
had an interview with Senator Robert
son, of South Carolina, which appears in
that paper on Sunday. As Wade Hamp-
tons character has been assailed in the
Commercial, and he and those support
ing him been termed outlaws, we pub
iish thus conspicuously what Senator
Robertson, Republican says of him. If
this Senator tells the truth, why then
what? ? Well, the Commercial will con-
ceal the truth by excluding Robertson's
remarks and letting the story it has pub
lished so uncontradicLed
''ls Hampton as popular among the
colored people as he has been represented
to be ?"
"They think the world of him. Not
one who truly knows him distrusts him.
No one in the State, white or black. fears
for the safety of his rights under Hamp-
ton"
"Being SO sure of Hampton's election.
how sure are you of the fate of the
Presidential ticket?"
"Unquestionably the Hayes electors
were chosen"
"By what majority 2"
Something over 200.
'ls it as Judge Mackey says-did
Hampton work for Hayes ?''
"The fact, ," replied Senator Robertson,
''is simply this, the people of South Caro-
lima cared good deal more, and still care
more for the regulation of their State af-
fairs than for the result of the national
election. The Democrats there, as a
mass, would have preferred the election
OF Illden, but were not unwilling to
consent to the election of Hayes as Presi-
dent provided they could get an honest
Democratic government in their own
State. Many Republicans, including
colored men, desired and voted for the
Hampton State government on the same
principle, even while they voted for the
republican Presidential electors"
'Did Hampton advise them to this
course?
''ln his campaign speeches Hampton
told all to vote for Hayes and Wheeler
who wanted to. He put the question of
who should be President away behind
the question of the administration of
State affairs. Many republicans are of
his mind and the sentiment throughout
the State is so positive that have no
doubt of the judgment of the courts in
his favor. But Governor Tilden has lost
the State"

TEE Sea coast Of the United States has
seldom been the scene of so terrible a
tragedy as that enacted onSaturday onthe
fated ship Circassian. Lying but three
times her own length from the beach at
Sag Harbor, Long Island, the fury of the
storm made her utterly inaccessible; and
within hearing of hundreds of sympa-
thizers twenty eight brave fellows went
singing and praying into eternity. Thought

Compromise with Ring Thieves.

New YORK, December 29.-The Times
says it is stated that an arrangement has
been effected by which Peter b. Sweeny
is to return here. He is to be granted
immunity against any order of the court
or any bench warrant during the trial of
his case and for thirty days thereafter
This action is understood to be prelimi-
nary to compromise similar to those
A prominent lawyer, whose acquaintance
with all the parties to the ''ring" suits is
ofthe the most extensive character, stated
yesterday that there was little doubt that
compromises would finally be made with
all the leading ring thieves. Sweeny's
arrival is looked for soon. The suit
against him for S6,000,000 is set down for
trial early in January.

One of the largest importing merchants

the war was completely manifested
never in politics and devoted to business
"a New Orleans merchant of some forty

rascality to promote the interest ofparty

Every method has been tried by farmers to store
and preserve their potatoes through the Winter, and
may say until potatoes come again. 1t is the most
valuable of all vegetables though here and there
find person and writer who undertakes to tell MS
of its unwholesomeness. 1t is universally consumed
in all civilized countries, where it cannot be grown
il is imported, which be done long distances with
out injury, when ventilation is attended TO.
In storing potatoes several methods are adopted
yet they all practically the same, the object be
ing to protect them against freezing whether buried
in pits stored in cellars The first consideration
to keep them in perfect darkness; the next is, the
bins should not be too deep-not three feet-to
produce warmth and cause them TO sprOnt. When
stored in the field, straight trenches are dug, say
twenty feet in length and four or five wide which are
filed to the depth of three feet with potatoes then
well covered with straw, top of which put eighteen
twenty inches of earth. In pit twenty feet long
there should be about three gas escapes or ventiat
ing openings, which should be plugged with straw
and covered with board set at angle to turn the
rain II in cellars barns otherwise the bins should
be covered with rugs, old carpeting or straw Those
intended to be kept for late Spring sales should be
frequently examined and all sprouts removed; for as
potato begins to sprout it loses its sOlidity
dryness and quality.-GermdHtotrn Telegraph.
