GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAlNs OPINION.
TIE DISPATCHES NEW To HIN IN THEu CERTAINTY
AND PARTICULARLY.

TIE DlSPATt HFS NFW To HlA IN lhlIls tLEi AIN l
AND PAKTICUiARIIY.
Ex-Governor Chamberlain, Of South Carolina. was
seen at his office yes crdsy afternoon. IL answer
10 the question whether he hsd read the South Caro-
lima cipher dispatches in The TRiBUNE. he smiled
7l asantly and said
"Ycs. lndeed' and they are the most interesting &
literature, have read for many day. These Sout!
Carolina dispatches are quite new TO me in 'h",r
certainty and pauiCnarity. | scarcely know which
most to admire the enterprise and journalistic push
of TIE IUBrNE in securing these dispatches, or
the pain, taking labor and ingenuity displayed III
unUayellng them. IL Is q most conSpcuorS evil
deDce of what journalistic enterprise may accom-
pish. That tle dispatches genuine 10 sane
nan can doubt; they harmonze one with another
and with the events of tnat memorable fcanya ass,
and thi, alone pVccludes any doubt OF their genu-
ineuess."
"Was there no general rumnr, Governor, Of an at
tempt 10 use money to corrupt the Returning
Board 7" was asked.
90 ves there were many rumors to that effect,
aud it was generally understood that the money
came from New-York; but the particularly and
dcfiuitencss of thus infamous business, as exposed
by these dispatches of THE TRIBUNE. were not, from
their very nature. known except to few. The
rumors. although vague. were generally believed !;
and cannot now recall any event or transaction of
those days inconsistent with anything revealed III
the cipher dispatches. There seems 10 be perfect
harmony and accord between the events OF those
davs nnd the revelations of TIE TRIBUNE"
"What do YOU think, Governor, will be the effect
of these dispatches npon Mr.. Ildens candidacy Tor
President IN lSSOY
"Thc effect. it seems TO me, must prove disastrous
10 MIR T,ldrn's chances; at least without cNplaua-
ton he will be held responsible for the dispatches
while the party of which he is tho recognized chci
will naturally come in for q portion OF the odlWn.
He certainly will receive "a much larger shaI" oi
charity in the Judgment of the public than have
ever received If be Is not held responsible Tor these
dispatches"
