HOW THE PRESIDENT FEELS.

Astaf correspondent OF the Boston Herald, writing
from Washington November 49, says:-
Ihad an interview to-day with the President. who
spoke freely upon the political situation. In answer
TO a question whether popular confidence in the ad
did not in part underie the republican
reaction the President said that probably that was
the case extent. He thought that the repub-
lican party had been strengthened by its strict ad
herence republican principles and by the refusal
of the administration to submit to Legislative
cion. The republican victories are. however, he
said. probably due more to the popular belief that
the Northern democracy upholds the Southern
democrats in their practical nufcation of the hr-
teenth amendment II the Northern democrats in
Congress would insist upon fair elections in the
south great and desirable change would be quickly
brought about. 'For instance" said the President.
''let them insist that the member from the shoe
string district in Mississippi be elected by full and
free ballot. But the Northern democrats seem only
too willing to profit by democratic accessons from
the South, however Obtained" The President said
he heartily approved the proposal to send leading
republican speakers to the Southern states. He
wanted to see the time when republican orators
would go to Louisiana as freely as to Iowa. He had
urged In his own state Messrs. Garfield and Foster
and others to 90 South. but the trouble that
our Northern republican speakers had calculated
being free from political work after the Northern
State campaigns were over and shrunk from under
taking new campaigns.

SEYMOUR FOR PRESIDENT
81 have been met in many localities with the re-
mark that Governor Seymour himself might consent
to become the candidate the democracy for Presl-
dent in $780, and that consequently. he might feel
disinclined to become arbiter in case in which
he himself would be greatly interested. To all such
questions can safely say that no such SITUATION is
at all probable. Governor Seymour is fixed and un-
alterable IN his determination never to run
for any political Office again or to accept
any political tavors at the hands OF his
party. l have recently conversed with him
and am firmly impressed with his sincerity and his
firm determination not to become, even under any
possible circumstances. the democratic candidate
for President next year. The Governors at
tention was called to the fact that since
seemed again to be turned toward him
the man of all men who could lead his party to
victory in the next Presidential contest With him
the Presidential candidate success in New York
would be certain. With any other candidate it would
be at the best problematical.
DETERMINED NOT TO RUN
Governor Seymour reiterated in the strongest and
most emphatic terms his firm decision not to
sent. under any circumstances to become the
Presidential candidate. When asked if he would
not consent to accept the nomination. even
to save the democratic party. he said that
there were plenty of able and available
candidates. But of thing he certain
fac.ional strifes must cease and the party become
united or it could not hope for success
My informant left on Saturday for the western
part of the State to consult with the democratic
leaders in regard to the proposed plan to restore
harmony to the party.

HAMPTON AND GRANT.

WHY SOUTH CAROLINA WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY
OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAN SEN
AToR BAYARD.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph's Washington
correspondence
WASHINGTON. Nov. 49, 1879.
Much comment is made in administration cir
cles at the refusal OF Senator Wade Hamp-
ton. of South Carolina. to unite in ex-
preston Of welcome to General Grant upon his
reception at Chicago by the Society of tine Army
the Tennessee. Since Senator Hampton's appear
ance in the Senate amongst his Southern and North
political friends, he has taken most ultra po-
stion and has entirely abandoned the solemn
promises which he made to the administration when
they assumed the reins OF government, removed
the troops and turned over the State to him its
Governor.
day OF the early relations between the Presi-
dent and Governor Hampton were alluded to, par
ticularly recounting the interview between the
President and Governor Hampton when the latter
came from South Carolina to Washington for the
purpose OF personally assuring the President of his
sincerity and his determination to cooperate in the
policy of reconciliation in the South laid down by
the administration in its efforts to do away with all
sectional bitterness.
1t was mentioned that as long as Governor Hamp-
ton permitted to the federal patronage to
his own purposes he ostensibly endeavored to
carry out his promises, but the extremity to which
carried his demands made it necessary for the ad
minstration exercise some discrimination in the
appointments made in the South. Upon this Cover
nor Hampton immediately turned his back all his
promises and became more ntolerant even tEan those
of his fellow-citizens whom he had previously
sured.
Recent advices received from South Carolina show
that his refusal to recognize General Grant only
part OF his personal feeling in regard to the future
political condition OF things. Senator Hampton
has also formally notified the Northern demo-
cratic leaders that the State Of South Caro-
lima will not under any circumstances support
Northern Presidential candidate; that they un-
anmously for Bayard. because as Southern man
he has always been identified with their section and
his sympathes have been with them in all their
troubles, both during and since the late war.

perfect than any used by other companies.
The process Of its building Is especially adapted to
secure these results. A central wire of copper is
surrounded by ten copper wires. twisted, insuring
