Lamar, of Mississippi, by all odds the leading Southern member of the House in Congress, and a man famous and beloved in all ’ the country, was at the Kimball House, a representative of the Herald called on him to get his 1 views on the political situation. We found ex-Senator II. V. M. Miller, Gen. A. H. Colquitt, Capt. E. T. Paine and Col. R. A. Alston in the room, the latter of whom presented us to Mr. Lamar. Mr. Lamar has all the physical characteristics of his knightly and illustrious family; that peculiar swarthy complexion, pale, but clear; the splendid grey eyes ; the high cheek bones; the coal black hair; the tirm and fixed mouth; the face, thoroughly haughty and reserved when in repose, and yet, full of snap and fire and mag netism when in action—all these were there. Added to these, was that inde finable something which all great men carry about them, and which hangs about even small men who have been for a long time in very high position. It was appareut at a glance, that Mr. Lamar was no ordinary Congressman, and, that there was nothing accidental or fortuitous in the national reputa tion which ho has achieved. His record is truly a brilliant one. What Gordon is in the Senate, Lamar is in the House. And these two Southerners stand ahead, in spirit of nobility at least, of all their colleagues. Lamar is a finer < talker than Gordon. If I am not mistaken, he is a better scholar than Gordon—by this, I mean a man of more classical aptness, and of broader culture. Indeed, after he consented, with a modesty most felicitous, and a reluctance that I barely dared to disregard, to give me * an interview,’ I was not long in discovering that I had struck a conversational * bonanza.’ Such a wealth of happy sayiugs, of pregnant epigram, of wise ut terances, of eloquent burst, of humorous touches, of political ax ioms, of brilliant sarcasm, of ear nest statesmanship, and of deco rous anecdote, it has never been my fortune to look in upon—that is, not since Col. Tom Howard has forsworn Burgundy, and tamed his splendid tongue. The substance of the interview we shall present to our readers. Its matchless phrase, its subtle flavor, and the charming grace with which it fell from his lips, are gone; and could hardly be pinned down to paper if they were yet in my mind. Reporter—■’ You canvassed New Hampshire before the late election. What do you think of its result V Mr. Lamar—■* I see nothing in it discouraging to the Democrats That is, I see nothing of the anti- Conservative re-action which the friends of the administration assert is taking place. I do not even think it implies that the Republi cans can carry the State in a gen eral Presidential canvass. The election of two weeks ago was an isolated election, occurring only in one State, and that a small one. Hence the administration was able to bring to bear upon it an elabo rate and pervading attention, and to concentrate upon it all of its wonderfull influences, which it will not be able to do in a general canvass. I never saw in any State, or in any election, the parties so thor oughly and so compactly organ ized, as they were in New Hamp shire. As an. instance of this, take the Prohibition vote. In the election before the last, the Pro hibition candidate got over 3,000 votes. In the last election, all but 700 of these votes were ab- . Wbqd bjr the regular parties. That is, they were driven back .IB into the Republican camp, for it is conceded that the Prohibition ists were all of them Republican bolters.’ Reporter—’You say that yon think it possible that New Hamp shire will go to the Democracy in the next election—do you think it likely that the Democrats will elect their next President?* Mr. Lamar—* I know it to be quite certain that there is an over whelming majority against the administration in the country. I do not imagine though, that this majority is within the ranks of the Democratic party. It exists un der different names, as separate elements, and is controlled to dis tinct influences. On the one is sue of opposition to the present administration—its centralizing tendencies, its corrupt practices and its incompetent rule—this majority is agreed. On other is sues, it is divided into elements more or less antagonistic. If this loose and diverse majority etui be harmonized, if, in other words, the elements can be brought to believe that the points of union are more essential than the points of differ ence, the administration will be swept from power on the tide of a humiliating defeat.’ Reporter—' What do you think of the Democratic tidal wave of last year? Won’t that be strong enough to sweep the administra tion from power?’ Mr. Lamar—•' Certainly, if the union of parties which produces that result, cdh bo kept uubroken. The victories of last fall, were not strictly Democratic victories. They wore anti-administration vic tories. They were not achieved by the Democratic party, as a par ty, but by the Democrats, Con servatives, Liberal Republicans and anti-administration men, fight ing for the time under the Demo cratic flag, just as the Democrats in the Greely campaign fought under the Liberal Republican flag. They were allies of the Democratic party; not converts to its doctrines. It is all important for us to realize that, that it was a triumph achieved by co-operation, not by conver sion. These allies, though friendly still to the Democratic party, and hostile to the present administra tion, are not bound indissolubly or even socurely ours. If they are content to fight the next fight with us, we will whip it. If they arc driven off, we will loose it.’ Reporter—•* Do you think that this harmony will be maintained ?’ Mr. Lamar—' I am hardly pre pared to answer that question. The great Liberal and Conserva tive elements would like to see the Democrats in power, I think, provided it would show some de ference to Liberal opinions, and some appreciation of Liberal lead ers. There is a pungent appre hension through the minds of the whole Liberal or Conservative party, that as soon as the Demo crats get into power, they will in augurate 'reactionary’ legislation, and will throw the Liberal Lead ers overboard. I have already heard a point made on the defeat of Schurz. Now, we are all glad to have Gen. Cockerell in the Senate. He is an able and patri otic man. But Schurz was un doubtedly the leader of the Lib eral movement. He was the most brilliant, daring exponent it had. He led all the great Republican captains out of the ranks, and joined them to the Democratic party. He organized the revolt, as far as it is in his power to or ganize anything. Added to this, le was one of the very ablest statesmen that ever sat in the Senate; and is as pure as he is able. There is no man who did more, none who did as much, the Liberals say, towards the disrup tion of the Radical party, and the consequent Democratic trinmph, as Carl Schurz. And yet, (they say distinctly,) the very first thing the Democrats will do'when they get into power, is to throw Schurz contemptuously overboard, without giving him even a com plimentary vote. This sort of work, if persisted in by the Dem ocrats, will, the Liberals and Con servatives say, drive these party friends back into the Republican ranks.’ j. w ,. 4 ,,-miw »:’• c Reporter—' Is Schurz disaffected on account of his defeat?* Mr. Lamar—'No, I have no idea he is, but his friends will be. It will naturally repel them to see their ablest” leaders thus thrown contemptuously aside as soon a3 the canvass- is over, and the vic tory won. form,'and say to the people exactly what they propose to do. Let there be no misunderstanding about it, and no chance for the Radicals to raise doubts by which they can mislead the people. What this platform should be, it is not ue-i cessaiy just now, to formally say: It is best not to discuss it, this* long before the canvass opens. I think, however, that one can be constructed, on which all of the elements of the opposition can stand in • harmony. They are all determined npou the necessity of turning out the present imbecile, and corrupt -administration. I think it probable that they can all be convinced that the differences between themselves are of much less importance than the necessity of a revolution in our political af fairs. I think we will find that all parties have enough self-abnega tion to lead them to lay aside all minor convictions, and wish to ac complish that which must be ac complished if we would perpetuate the institutions of our fathers, and save the Republic.’ <> - •' ,1 Reporter—■' This harmony being secured, do you think the Demo crats can carry the country?’ Mr. Lamar—'I think .they can elect Charles Francis Adams or Judge Davis, of the Supreme Court; either of them, with a large degree of certainty. Either of these men can consolidate the whole opposition vote. They could carry ,the Liberal Con certain that victory will be the result of a combination of all of the elements of opposition to Mr. Lamar—' I am. Look at the auspices under which we go into the canvass. In the last can vass, we had a nominee, a man whose.- nomination disappointed Scbtirz and the other liberal lead ers,! who excited a revolt in the iticcamp. Then every de- of the Federal Govern- in the hands of the en- Not only this, an over- w majority of the State governments were in their hands. Now, we find the new canvass long knife gleaming in her hands, and-her eyes a flame with jealousy and passion, and bent upon a man sitting with bis back turned to her, writing at a desk. Now, I-want to know what did Becky Sharp do?’ 'My dear fellow,* says Thackeray, tapping him on the shoulder, ' that is exactly what I Live always wanted to know my self.’ You can very well imagine that I was not troubled with any more requests to rehearse my unborn speech.’ By this time, feeling that we had already trespassed too long upon Mr. Lamar’s time, we re opening with a vast majority of tired; not, however, before we all ‘the offices directly dependent upop the elective principle under control. We have carried over two^thirds of the States, aud in a decided majority of them, have control of both the Executive and Legislative Departments. The revolution has gone further; we havd a large majority in the only branch of the Federal Govern ment, that is directly respondent to file elective principle. The House of Representatives, the only channel through which the popu lar ffife of this country is poured into! the Federal Government, is Democratic and is completely in ourhands. Npw, if nothing is done to dis turb the alliance under which these Bfitor&a .were won, they can be servative element without trouble, and the Democratic organization leading this, can carry the coun try. I think either one of these men could be elected by an over whelming majority. It is proba ble that Blaine could be elected by the same influences. He is an immense power, and possibly, the ablest mau in the Republican party. I see’that the Democrats of Philadelphia gave him a formal banquet the other day.’ Reporter—'Do you think straight and pronounced Democrat can be elected? Mr. Lamar—' It is possible that Thurman, Hendricks or Bayard, might be elected. These gentle men have the eutiro coufidence of the Democracy of the whole coun try. Either of them would de velop its fullest strength. If they can carry the Liberals, there would be uo doubt of it. This might be well done by a proper platform. Iu this matter of the platform, wc have a Scylla and Charybdis to steer between. We must have no more O’Connor movements. On the other hand, we must uot, by trotting out dead issues, drive off our allies.’ 'I want you to understand’ (warming tip as he said this) ' that I have a thorough and gen uine appreciation of the Liberal Republicans, who have rebelled against the power of party, in be half of my people. Take the case of old man Poland, the man who saved Arkansas. lie absolutely put behind him a life-long ambi tion, when he made his protest against Grant’s interference. He had for all his life cherished the hope that he might get a certain Judgeship. Just before he made his report on Arkansas affairs, he became aware that his ambition was about to be realized. He knew that if he made that anti- Administration report, it would crush his hopes forever. It was his pride and his ambition, agaiust his convictions. I shall never forget how the grey-haired old hero rose and spoke that which unspoken, would have realized thi proudest dream of his life. He was just leaving public life, and knew that he was destroying his last bope. Yet, with a stern and unfaltering hand, he buried his hope aud saved a State. And then, too, remember the splendid way in which Blaine checked and controlled the impas sioned majority that attempted, on the last night of the session, to override and crush the minority. That was the finest scene of intel lectual energy and power that I ever 8aw. *The man absolutely conuscated. He stood pale, and yet determined through the weary and eventful hours with a marvel ous calmness and strength. It WHS like one man controlling a host of lunatics; now wearily fencing them off; now meeting them eye to eye and dropping them with a single blow; now raising his lash and pouring it down over, the shoulders of some repotted, and repeated with an emphasis that will startle the most sanguine. With the matter other? wise; it is impossible to predict tho •fcesult.* had been assured by Mr. Lamar that we were the first newspaper man who had ever seduced him into a ' talk,’ and that a pale shade of penitence was already creeping over him. We feel it proper to say, after this hurried interview has boon put to paper, that it does nothing more than merely express the substance of the brilliant talk that fell carelessly and yet superbly from his lips. Mr. Lamar returns to Missis sippi to enter the Congressional canvass. There is surely no doubt but that his District will return him without opposition. He is destined to fill a large place in American histoiy. •’;, . . Grant and Blaine* .

Herald says: Mr. J esse Laverty, of East Pennsboro, living near Booser’s Mill, was lately very much an noyed by rats, which cairied off his eggs and made sad work with his corn in the crib, aud then iu- vaded his granary and commenced destroying a bin of wheat. Mr. Laverty, on examination, found there was but one place where the rats got in. He thereupon resolved to kill the rats by an artifice well worthy of the cause. He strewed corn meal liberally on the floor of the granary, and about one hoar later, he nailed the whole shut; he then called hi* dog (a Spanish terrier) and went forth to battle. Now, the door of the granary is fastened by a long wooden latch extending full across the door aud can only he opened from the out side, and Mr. Laverty, on enter ing tho granary, drew the door shut aud beard the latch fall. He then thought the enemy was his, hut this was an error; for the rats Were more ..numerous than he ex pected,. nod,.'finding no way of escape, attaked Mr. Laverty and his dog with great fury. ; Mr. Laverty laid on his blows hard and fast, and one blow aimed at a rat, unfortunately hit the dog on the head and killed him. Mr. Laverty, being thus deprived of his faithful ally, would have fled, but could not. He then com menced calling for help; the rats, meanwhile, kept skirmishing around his legs, ran up his body, bit his hands, and one, bolder <&inrpn H,V PUBLICATION OFFICS: JYo. 7, GRA,YI2\E 2tO}f, ft# (U*-Stalrs,) ATHENS, GEORGIA. * Rates of Advertisings Trxnrient advert Ucmenta, ofone aqosre <n nor*, St 00 per square for tho firatlnacrtlon, aid 75conU for each aubaeqbrat inaertlon. na.

The absence of Senator Cameron from the Blaine demonstra tion in Philadelphia, is commented on as peculiarly significant.
