WADE HAMP rows VIEWS.

waie Hampton was lately interviewed
at his home in South Carolina. He re-
CARDS South Carolina. which Is sometimes
looked upon a. one Of tbs doubtful Of the
Southern States, Is safe for the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency next year.
He asserts that the Democrats there give
the eolored people bsiser protection In the
Courts than tue Republicans ever did ;
that they give them more Of the offices ;
THAI they SIT on every jury ; that their
children outnamber the whites in the pub
lie schools. and. in short, that the most
perfect harmony prevails between the races
throughout the State. We have no doubt
that senator Hampton states the situation
and was never known to dissemble in his
life. When be ran for Governor in 1876,
he promised tbs colored people from every
stump equal rights and equal protection,
and il would seem that he had faithfully
kept his word and secured these things TO
them. He IL TO be admired for his co1r-
Age and good sense. Senator Hampton
says that seynour's health viii make 1t i'm
possible that be be = candidate for the
Presidency. He thinks BayArd 8 remark
ably strong man, and says Tilden is pract-
cAlly dead in the South. He adds:

ton of Grant as 3 Republican candidate,
dsening him q person representing less
danger 10 their interests than any Of the

ling and Blaine. for instance. They say
that with Grant the campaign will not be
so bitter a. ii would with either Of these
men. The world. aud particularly the

A Negro Shot in the Abdomen and
Seriously Wounded.

Yesterday a coloret man named VIM.
Sampson was brought to the Central Police
Station, and from thence removed to the
Charity Hospital, where it was found on ex-
animation that he was suffering from gun
shot wound in the abdomen.
Sampson stated that on Saturday week,
last, he was at ball given at the Ashland
plantation, Lulu station, twenty miles from
this city, on the Donaldsonville road, and
that during a difficulty he was shot and
wounded by one Joe Keys, who immediate y
fled from the ballroom and came to this city.
Sampson also said that he believed Keys
was shooting at another man, and that he
unfortunately aud unintentionally on Keys
part, became the victim. He said further
that he was attended by physician in the
parish where the shooting took place. but he
did not seem to do him any good, and hence
he came to this city for treatment,
Orders have been issued to ell stations to
arrest Keys on sight.
