A Quick and Tart Reply from
Senator Hampten-EEe pro-
nOunces Gen. Gary's Charges
bitterly and Absolutely False.
Washington Special 10 the Ne,0 York Herald.]

W OSVlHytOV OpCCtuC " GC ~ GU 4 OTf lleFutls
Senator Hampton's attention was drawn to.
day TO the conversation ofGen: Mart Gary con-
cerning him reported oy a correspondent from
the correspondence over carefully, and said
that while there were various misre presenia-
tions beginning as far back as the events Of the
war, he did not consider anything worthy OF
notice except so much as related Tn the alleged
breach Of faith In the matter ofthe Tilden cleo
tors. Upon this point he remarked:
"Whilc J. have never condescended to notice
the rumors, OF which the III rnld speaks to-day,
about senator Hampton's infidelity to the Dem
ocratic electoral ticket inl $40, which have been
floating in the air ever since; and while l can
not agree with the Herald that they have, as 1t
says, now found q respectable sponsor in Gen.
Gary, still as some one Is ut last found to father
these SANDERS l am indu ed to pronounce them
utterly and absolutely false.
''That they are false" he continued, '.can en-
silly be established by the following facts Soon
after the election In 1876 an article appeared in
an Augusta, Ca, paper,Of course anonymously,
making the same charges and referring to
Gen. MCGOWAN, as Gary now does. He was
behind them, as he IS now, and this article. If
not written by Gen. Gary, was at least inspired
by him. The chairman or nj State Executive
committee, 4. c. Haskell, subsequently elected
to the Supreme Bench Of the State, Immediate
ly responded to 1t and denounced 1t AS untrue.
General MCGOWAN also replied TO 1t and took
the same ground. so complete and overwhelm.
ing were these replies that the author OF the
slanuer made no r. Spouse TO them, and I need
only refer you to their letters r my full vim
dication and that # the. Democratic party Of
South Carolina. That party acted in perfect
good faith during the whole canvass. and the
fact that Mr.. Hayes's minority by Republican
count was only about QUO votes over Mr.. TIL
den, show how earnestly we worked Tor the lat
tpr's election. That l consulted with Gen.
Gary on this matter or any other during that
canvass or before H. or since, has entirely cscup-
ed my recollection, II this ever occurred. 1t
may have been my misfortune that l have not
dcne 81, but as / have always regarded his
views as narrow, unwise and dangerous, I have
stuJiously avoided asking his advice or acting
on his suggestions"
1t will be seen that Senator Hampton makes
n very square denial of Gen. REPRESENTATIONS.
Your correspondent will add that during the
can vass OF 1876 the Herald on very frequent &C.
casions editorially urged the Democrats ofSouth
CAROLINA, and Gen. Hampton as their candi-
date, TO abandon the TiIden ELECTORAL ticket, or
ut least TO run Il ticket of Hayes and Hampton,
and that there was at that time general disap-
pointmt mt that tho Democrats and Gen. Hamp-
ION refused to do what man. OF the Northern
friends thought wise and proper.

Now, South Carolina Is big State, and New
York is u big city, but neither of them probably
Is big enough To make the policy OF theNntional
Democra ic party hinge upon s~uperannuated
grievances In local politics. Fit means to win
the next Presidential election Its nominations
must be controlled by some higher considera-
ton than the circumStan e that SeDalorHnmp-
ton was willing to put Mr.. Tllden,s nose out of
joint TO elect imsclf Governor OF South Caro-
lima three years ago, or that MIR. Tilden did ac-
tually dis!ucate the nose Of Mr.. Augustus Schcll
In electlng Mr.. Edward Cooper Mayor OF New
York two Years afterwards. Since, however,
the rumors about Senator Hampton's intideli-
ty to the Democratic electoral ticket In lSIG,
which have been floating in the air ever since,
have found 4 respectable sponsor at last ,tiicreis
no objection to Investigating them leisurely us
n historical curiosit", and The country will take
the same kind q fintcrest In hearing what the
senator may have to reply 10 Gen. Gary that 1t
does in other recnldite matters of antiquarian
research, such as the identity of the execution
er OF Charles I, or Of the author of "Junius." 1t
will not escape notice. In estimating the hein.
business of Senator Hamptnn's political conduct
surprising all that Gen. Gary says Is strictly
accurate, that The General himself assured SEN
ator Hampton that 'if he and the rest were re-
solved" to withdraw the Tildcn ELECTORAL tick
CT in order to save their stats ticket and re-
deem South Carolina from the carpet-baggers,
"he Gen. Gary would not make war upon the
conclusion"

The Herald's Comments.

II is remarkable story which Gen. Gary
tells one Of our Southern CORRESPONDENTS how
Hampton proposed to sell OUT, mr..
Tilden's electoral ticket in South Carolina In
is76. The Generals conclusion is still more re-
markable-that the National Democratic par
ty must renominate Mr. ilden for President In
atoneInent for Senator Hampton's behavior.
By contrast with this some prominent DemC-
cratic politicians in New York. with a freedom
OF speech quite equal TO Gen. Gary's, Insist that
Mr.. Tilden did not only propose. but did actI-
ally 'sell out" the Democratic municipal tick
ct here in 1873. and. therefore, In atonelntnthr
such behavior Lc must not be renOminatea.

Larceny Of u Horse.

Washington Alexander, was arraign-
ed before Squire Brady this morning
on the charge of the larceny of horse
from James II. Price, colored. On last
Thursday Washington wanted to trade
horses with Price, the latter to give go
to boot at which Price stated that he
would not give him ten cents to boot.
Alexander was in favor of exchanging
even when Price stated that he would
try the horse first aud if it suited him
he would exchange. On Friday, the
horse not suiting Price he returned
it to Alexander who refusednato receive
it. Price then went to Squire Brady ;.
Office and had a warrant issued for the
arrest Of Alexander. The officer was
unable to tind his man yesterday as he
lad gone off with Prices horse. This
morning however constable Neary came
across his man, and at the hearing this
morning Alexander was held in $500
bail for his appearance at Court.

A Eipud Gag etl.

L Huffman Brookhart, charged with

Clara Henninger, aged eight years, had
a hearing before the Mayor Of Williams
port on Wednesday. He was taken to
tire bedside OF his victim, who, it is
believed, cannot recover fIom her in
i1fies, and as soon as the child saw
him she whispered to her father,
"That's tie man :" and when Brook
hart spoke, she said: "Oh, papa, |
know his voice that is the man."
Other evidence was strongly cOrroh"ra-
tivr. and there is now scarcely doubt
bit that Brookhart committed tie Of
fence. He was sent to prison, the Mayor
refusing to take bail.
