give an account Of an interview be-
tween Hon. Jay a. Hui b III, ofNIichi-
gan, and myself, last Saturday, in tho

Tia" hall I" ~! l~elt wn, stuppcn Dy
Il &cntlcman who said he wanted to
speak to me. Stepping back few
!@ces' as G. he asked inc If M kncM !hG Gdiitte9r iitte9r
remember him. lie remarked
chat he was rendering lis great
or valuable services in Ohio and
Kentucky; that he had attended the
convention in Ohio, and was instru-
mental in preventing Il fusion between
the Democrats and Grccnbackcrs, and
that he was sending thousands Of his
papers into Kentucky and Ohio, max
ing inroads into the Democratic party
and doing us much good. lie said:
owe are aiding him, and it requires q
good deal Of money, and | would like
that you would aid him." Iaskcd him
what was the editors name. IIc
pulcda card out of his pocket and
read "Lrc Crandall." | looked at him
with surprise and made no reply. He
asked nc to take the matter under
consideration and aid him il could.
Turned around and walked of. had
never seen tho gentleman before, and l.
had no idea who he was. Captain
knight was close by, and asked him
who the gentleman was who had just
left me pointing him ont. IIc said it
was Mr.. lIubbcll. laskcd him if hc
was Grccnbackcr. lie said no; hc
was II Republican. Twas much sur
prisctl, and could not account for his
accosting me, until this morning, when
was informed by several members OF
the House that he said lie took inc for
| Mr.. Robcrtson, chairman Of the re-
publican Executive Committee Of
Ohio, to whom he had been introduced
Il short time before. | understand that
Mr.. lIubbcll is chairman of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee.
Thus the mystery Of his approaching
me was explained. These arc the
conversations and circumstances as
they occurred. | did not invite tho
conversation in any way. lie did not
tell nc that Crandall was going to
Toledo; neither has he nor any Of his
friends visited me or requested me to
keep the mistake 4 secret, rs stated III
your article in tho Post this morning;

did not intend giving publicity to his
mistake, which was apparent Wien L
learned the facts, but as it has been
made public without authority from
inc desire that the conversations and
circumstances shall appear correctly.

SOMETHING IN TIE WIND.-Wc pub
lishcd two weeks ago something in re-
lation to an organized plan to burn
and pilagc by the negroes. 1t appears
from what we then published. that let-
tors had been written by negro mon
from lIampton,. Russell Place, S. g.,
and Liberty Hill, S. c., signing them
selves as President and Secretary, TO a
brother Of tho organization at Mat
thcWs Station, in Mccklcnburg county,
, N. G. We gave not tho lcast credit 10
thcso rumors, believing tlcm to be-
fnlsc, and merely published them that
our readers in those sections mentioned
above might read tlcn. But, if what
we now hear is true, there is moro
, truth than poetry in what was then
: published. We have been informed
from q very respectable source, that
the negroes arc holding secret meet
ings, nightly, in soyorell sections of}tho
county, and 1t is tho general impress
, sion in those neig gllborlloods Where tho
I. meetings are held that evil is ,il.lendcd,
!. . We doSnot giyesthis publicity to alarm
!, our citizeiis, but merely to place thcn
