This new Exhi bition wtil be opened on the 10th of May. Tbe probability is that greater pleasure may be derived from a visit to it than wag derived from a Yisit to tbe Centennial Exhibition last year. All tbe gorgeoutness of last year's exhibi tion will be present. Indeed it is siid by those who profess to know, that every important feature of the Centen tiia! Exhibition bss been preserved and reorgan:ied, and the buudrds of du plicates which so enlarged last year exhibition Live been removed.

He Dtf.net His rosilion Regarding ihe Aew Southern Policy. He Accepts the Situation and Wiil Not Op pose the Administration lie Denounces i.'hauibdrlaiu' Surrender, but t'uniiy lietes in Hampton's Sincerity. Senator John J. Patterson has been interviewed by a teporter of the Wash ington A'atwTial Rejiublkan. The in terview, as published in tbe paper men tioned, reads as follows : Reporter. Mr. Senator, now that this matter of South Carolina dispute has been disposed of, 1 would like to aek rou something that might tend to give the pjblto a correct idea of the pobiliou you have fecuped in tbe matter and of tbe position you pr-Uiose to observe in the future ? Senator Patteraon. Well, sir; I bave often been groitxly misrepresented on this subject. Expressions aod senti ments Lave been attnbuttd to me tuat 1 never ottered. 1 have hud no inter view villi aoy one, and bave refused to allow myself to be interviewed by any newspaper correspondent, and those rt ported interviews with me are untrue. This is the first time that I bave oon sented to be interviewed. Now, in the first iuslance, 1 btve been reported as being opposed (o the withdrawal of the Untied State troops from the State house at Columbia, uuder the ciicutn succes. This is a wi'take. I feared that the withdrawal of the troops at tbis time would be niisuuderstood by our friend aud discourage tbem. It was tbe moral effect of such an aetioo taken upon tbe demand of Hamilton blob I resisted. 1 wanted it done by consent of both the clsimauts, aud af ter an agreeiuect made w:tb the Preai. dent that the public peace was to be maintained during lie legal eoatet-l ha waso be made for ihe fiiee of uoveruor. When Hampton came here aud made that pledge to the President 1 then in sisted that Gov. Chamberlain should return to South Carolina, reljiog upon tbe pledges of Mr. Ilamptoo to keep tbe peace, and test bis I i le ttercto belore tbe courts and the Legislature. I believe Guv. Hampton is au honora ble man, and will abide by the pledeit t'.at be made 10 President Hayes aud tbe people of the North. 1 bald that tbe only necessity of the troops here was to preserve he peace, and never inended h ha roops shonld de cide tbe question as to who was Gov ernor. After the President decided to withdraw tbe troops Gov. Chamberlain announced to bis friends that be would give op tbe contest and would not mike any further effort to hold tbe of fice, bia idea being that with tbe witb diawal of the troops be should make a surrender. This was bis determina tion before be left Washington to gc to New York. Reporter. How about your inter view witb Gov. ITampton tbat bas often beta referred to in the ftpeTS ! j Senator P. Tbe interview with Hamp ton was sought by me. Reporter. For what pui pose ? WHT US CALLED I PON GENERAL Senator P. 1 desired to see Govern or Hampton to ak bim if be inteudeu to preserve the peace in South Carolina and proteot all citix -ns alike in their civil and political rights, and it be pro posed tbat Republicans should be pro tected tbere, aud give us a fair aud bouest election bereafrer. Governor Hampton said that In intended to see every uiui in the State protected, aud that be wanted the people of the State to give him a trial, and if be did not keep his pledges, why, then, they wouid have as opportunity next year wtieu the election came around to show their diskf proval. He said he would like to be supported by all tbe people of ihe Slate, Republicans and Demo crats alike, to his efforts to advance the interests of the State. 1 told bim thai Governor Chamberlain bad deteruiineo tbat be would surrender, and tbat 1 supposed he ( Hampton) would be Gov ernor without any further opposition, although I remarked tbeu that 1 thought Mr- Cbamberlain was making a mistake'; because by surrendering now it appeared that he relied entirely upon the troops to sustain bis title, abereas he should resort to the courts or the Legislature, leljing npon the law in the case to fustaiu bim. Reporter. Then yon disapprove of o' the action of Mr. Chamberlain iu leaving the State bouse when the lot led States tronps were withdrawn. Senator P. Yes, sir, because it pla ces us in a false position. We repre sented that troops were only necessary to preserve the peace, and now since Governor Hampton Las pledged buu selt to do that, and was fulfilling the pledge, we should rely upon that aod resort 10 the courts. Mr. Chamber lain owes it to himself and tbe Repub lican party of South Caroliua to test las title to the office be claimed before the courts aud tbe Legislature, and if he loet the case his own party would have been bt.er satisfied, and tbe Democrat in South Caroliua would bav Lad no reason to complain, as every suitor has a right to resort to every legal remedy to gain his case and secure bis rights. 1 told Governor Hampton that lor uy part 1 was will ing lo sustain biiu as Goveruor in all bis efforts to advance tbe beat interests of tbe State, that 1 cared more for tbe peace and the prosperity of the State than the success of any party. Reporter. Suppose tbst Mr. Cbam berlain had insisted npou bis legal de fense and tbe matter was thrown into tbe Legislature, bow could you have arranged a Legislature to hsve juris diction of tbe matter whose decision would be acceptable to all parties. Senator P. In the first place, I think a Legislature acceptable to all could bava been obtained in South Carolina much mora easily than in Louisiana, where tbe same thing ia be ing attempted. When tbat Legia a- tar would be agreed opon it would i bave been an easy matter to elect a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court vbo would be au upright and conci entiou man, and who would no doubt have decided the question iuipar ;iall) and on its merits, sud bis decision would have ended the matter. No wan ever received any credit for ur rendering a fort ll tbe decision bad be-n in tavor of Chamberlain it would have been according to law, and sgaiust which Hampton could bave offered no resistance, because be bad already gireu bia word to the President sod 10 (be world to abide by legal remedies only. If Hampton bad succeeded it would hsve given him a legal title to the office, which be does not now pos ses, sa the surrender of 1 bamberlain, upon tbe removal of the troops from the Stat House, does not settle the question of the legal title to tbe office. Cbamberlain still claims to be Gover nor, and only yields because be bas no power to further exercise the duties of the office against tbe pressure tbat would be brought against Lire by Hampton. Reporter. ho do yon think in the long run would bav been made Gover nor of tbe State if tbe matter bad been referred to the courts or the Legisla ture? Senator P. I cannot say, lut CI. am berlain's friends were afraid tbat it would be decided in lavorof Hampton. Reporter. Did not Chamberlain change his mind when he returned from New York. Seuator P. Ye-, sir, when he return ed froui New York be said be had made np Lit. mind to remain in tbe office nutil be was ousted by tbe legal process which Hampton Lad boasted be would follow. Reporter. To wLat influence do yon attribute ibis change in Mr. Chamber. Iain's 1 urpo.se? Senator P. I do not know, only that be was acting upon the advice of friends, there and here. Reporter. Would yon mind men tioning who those friends are? Senator P. 1 do not ki'ow who tbey were. I told him that it was the honorable course for bim to pursue, and it was the one which bis party had a right to expect of bim. Reporter. Well how do yon ac count for Li aotion in ao suddenly laing the Stale house?. Senator P. M. Cbamberlain return ed to South Carolina, and his aotion there is, of C 'urse known to all. 1 may here htate tbat siuce h bas gone back to Columbus 1 bav received no information from hin except wbat I have seen in the newspapers and one despatch on tbe day be surrendered,! stating tbat be bad made np bis mind to surrender, but I know nothing of tbe ressous tbat prompted bim to do it I presume however, it was owing to the pauio among bis party friends down there wto made htm believa that it was a hopeless contest and productive of no good. BE WILL NOT OPPOSE THE A DM IN 18 T RATION. Reporter. It ia sometime reported that yon intend to pursue a course bos-1 tile to tbe administration of fresideot Hayes, is there any truth in tbat Mate went ? Senator P. I never though of doing anything of, tbe kind. 1 have great confidence in tbe honesty and good in. tentioa of President Hayes, aud like bim personally very much. 1 believe: iu this n after President Hayes did whaf ' he though the best thing to be done, al though 1 thought be was ini.-Uken, and 1 told bim so. 1 had a long cou versa 1 Hon with bim recently en the subject,! sod the President said he thought he President said he thought it was 1 the rijrht thine to do; that while it i might be a mistake, yet bis policy was j one of conciliation, and he thought that 1 it wss an experiment tbat he shonld 1 make ; tbat be relied npon tbe promi ' tbe South. In the Senate there is a sea of Gov. Hampton aud his friends to ' majority of five Republican. Four of do justice to all parties, and that he) these are Southern Republicans, com believed be would do it. He said if mouly called carpet-baggers, and ooe Gov.

That is a different qnestion. The dispute in Louisiana ha not yet been settled, but I bold that Senator that are elected b the aaaie Legislature mat ce elared tbe election for Governor shonld be admitted to their ae in the Senate, wheth er it be Democrat or Republican. Reporter. What do you think will be the future ot tbe Republican party In South Carolina 1 Senator P. The Republican party has a clear, unqueationable majority in South Car olina of over 20,000 votes in a lair election, and I do not give np tbe bap of carrying the S late at the next election for tbe admin istration candidate, whoever be may be. 1 1 think that the Republicans of the South will fall into the support or tbe Aduiiniatra n. and that ther will vote for any man 6 ill be supported ia 18TS by the Preai- dent when ie elect dur nekt Oovefnor. I hope that Mr. Hay-' courae in the mean tifle ?ir sorb aa to aatiafy the RepubH iauJ of tie State that Ihia the proper thing for tlieai In do, d tl it feaalU iu Ihe Deuocrala and Republican all voting for the aatue candidule we will have a uucb aatisraclion in the si!tc of that move ment as the Democrats, but It the polity of Ihe Administration should be antagSiiixed hereafter by Ihe Democrats, and if Gover nor Harm ton will keep his pledges of fair play, even though he ia not the next Ad- miulatrtl'n candidate for Governor, then tbe Republicans can cairy Ihe Slate. This I ia all bed, however, npon the pledgee of Governof Hampton that we are Uf have a fair and free election. At preaent the party ia panic-stricken and completely d-moial-ised, but w are well organized in South Carolina and under good discipline, and the leaders will be able to sOon rally the party and in tbe next el.rtion uiake a good stand for whoever they may select aa their Candi date. ktvtccs or a orstaat atrac. Before cloning I want to subjoin a few eroarka of a general nature. I want to ray that the Southern Republicans are aakiog no favora of the Xorthrra Republican. A'ter the October el-tions thi Re publican party of the North, backed by such papers aa the Xew York Tribune, Times, sud such other papers aa are cow abusing the carpet-bagger." made fran tic appeals to the Republicans ia the three Statea ot Somb Carolina, Louisiana and Florida to save thu party and secure the election of Hates. Alter the November election, when It was apparent that tbey needed every one of our electoral votes, Bi wspspers and orator of the party North cried out to us to hold the fort for Hates aud Wander, and we did so against terrible odds and threats of violence. During the electoral count th Republican from the South in both branches of CongTesa stood Urnily by the decision of the tribunal, whereas tbey could have defeated its entire purpose, and by acting with the Democrat! elected Tilden freaidant, whiCbr could not have made ua any worse off in South Caro lina than we are now. For my part, 1 have been turned over every day by tbe newspapers one day for Hampton and the next day for Cbamberlain 1 one day in favor of tbo Administration aad the next day against it. I bave never been for Governor Hampton, and I am not now for bim, except that I most submit to tbe inevitable. I fought bis pretensions to the last moment when there was hope, and pro tested against Chamberlain's surrender. I hve been cona'.ant all tbe way through in trying to save the party ia the iitat. My call upon Uevernor Hampton was on of re spect and to gat information, as he was placed over me without my consent. I had nothing to sell to Governor Hampton, and he did not propose buying anything from me. News Items.
