Tbe Herald bas bad a corps of reporters the
but few week, traveling about and interviewing
people on their views abont General Grant's
third term, Ctauriam and tbo Empirs in gen
eral. Having exhausted Northern notabilities
on these points, the interviewers have got
down into Virginia and got hold cf two tough
old ease, at tbe Montgomery White Sulphur
Springs in tho persons of Ex Governor L,tehar
and Admiral Semmes:
Correspondent—Governor, have yon read the
recent discussion* in tbe newspapers on Cwinr-
ism. or a third term for Generel Grant 7
Governor—I have not; 1 have heard of it,
rboogh. I do not pav mnnh attention nowa
days to sneh matteis They interest me very
littls.
Correspondent—I* it year impression that
General Grant will be eieoted for a third term 7
Governor—Certainly, if bs want* it. I have
no donbt whatever of that now.
Correspondent—What are yoar reasons far
thinking so 7
Governor—Mr reason* nro very few. Grant
ha* tbe power, and if ho chooses to exeroise it
he ean very easily have himself eieoted; and.
besides, tbo ltepnblioan party of the North in
tend to ran the government and keep the spoils
among themselves, and
(HUNT SUITS Timrt PUBPOSZS
well a* any other man they oonld pick
perhaps n great deal batter. At least, they
have tried him, and so far be has anooeeded in
pleasing tho leader* of tbe party by whom h,!s
anrronndcd admirably. I do not think they
wonld risk nominating anybody else.
Correspondent—Arsnming, then, that Grant
will be elooted to a third term, do yon regard
that aa an approaoli to Cteiarism or empire 7
Governor—I da, unquestionably. The Gov
ernmant, aa it i, now administered, la moving
rapidly in that direction, and the eieotion of
Grant to n third term will bs a stride that bnt
too plainly
IXUtOlTZ* TTT* TtOAD Tl ZOIPIHZ
Correspondent—Do yon think tbe poople of
the North wonld submit to be aoeiaily deprived
‘ their liberties 7
Governor—Ob, yes. They have looked so
calmly and quietly on while ntnroation and
tyranny have been heaped and piled on tbe
Sontbera people that they have intuitively bo.
eome innrod to despotism, and were tbe yoke
an American Cm tar fastened npon them to-
marrow they wonld submit with all the grace
and eat, of tbs must abjeet and willing slaves.
Correspondent—Bnt Governor, they can
scarcely be ao insensible to and forgetfal of
tbeir past traditions, of tbe glorlncs liberties
aehieved by their forefather, and of that inde
pendence whiob Is the boast of every American
to allow all to pass away without striking a
blow?
Governor—Th»t is all vary well; bnt this
march toward, empire has began so well, it has
crept along so inaidlonriy, mcDaele after raan-
aolo bas bean ao well and scenrely fastened on,
the dearest and cherished
Eisirrt or the st item
b*ve been ao willingly surrendered, and barrier
after barrier to impcriallrm has yielded so ess-
that tbo ennonneement of an empire wonld
only a simple matter of surprise among tbe
Northern people. As to resistance to the fed
eral government, if Grant sesames the role of
r - nr. Dictat-r. or Emperor, the Yankees wonl!
never dream of IL
Correspondent—Do yon think then (hat Grant
aspires to Cniarism or at least to a third term 7
■ Governor—
I no WITHOUT DOUBT,
els, why. in the face of all this newspaper
di-enssion, has he not bad tbe manliness to oome
ont and s*y to the Americ in people; I will not
a cutdidate nnder any consideration for the
Presidency after tbe expiration of my present
term. If hewonld do tbat then the peoplewonld
hive reason to believe in bl* p*trioti-m, hnt as
the matter stand, now he show, by his silence
that be bas no reepeet or regard for the prece
dent set by Washington snd established as a law
almost by its strict observance by all of ills suc
cessors. Unquestionably Grant wanta to be
eieoted to a third term, if possible, to be em
peror.
Correspondent—What action would the South
ern people take in such a case 7
Governor—None, sir; no action whatever.
naTing no arm, nor mean, of procuring them
they could not resist a, became free born Amer-
ein*. At the close of the war the North took
particular care to deprivo ns of all the arm, we
bad. and they have taken particular care to keep
rta tn that condition ever siecc. We are help
less. We oonid do nothing.
Correspondent—It bas beenraid by some that
the Sontb might be rather benefited by the
change to an empire, and that they wonld wel-
ootre such a change. What 1, yonr cpinion ss
to that ?
Governor—We do not
raven aw Samoa.
We want a pure Republican Government. We
do not want to live nnder tyranny in any shape.
It i* b*d enough a, it is, God know*, without
cutting n* under an im;'erial government; for
Grant would be as much controlled then, apd
more so. than be i, now. He diesnot nowri*e
to tho dignity or th, just administration of the
Chief M*giatraev of a repnb’ts, and could he be
ipeered to wield tbe sceptre of imperialism
with ixy
nrcszz tr ntraaTTaiirr.
No sir, we want no empire or Caerar. We
would not be benefited by it; we would be mure
orpreesed than ever, and wo will reaiat, if not
wi.h am*, with onr votes, not only th, threat
ened C-oitrism, tjt ita forerunner, the third
term-
correspondent—How could th* patriotic feel
ingot the ante-war period be best rostered in
the South 7
Governor—Q ctn only be done by simple
kinduea* on the p*rt of tbe Government. We
mn*t not be rebuffed and insulted on all oees-
s'.ona as we have been. We must be allowed
run- participation in the Government. If the
Government boa no respect for the peooie the
people ean have no respect for tbe Govern
ment, and in rush a government those is no
oinbiiitr. We smut tube tret ore d to *U tha
privileges and rights to whieh nnder tha Coc-
atitntion we are eotitled, and whan tbt* is done,
my word for it, there will ba aa strong and pa
triotic a feeling in the Sonth aa ever existed in
the pelmirat daya of tbe Republic.
At tbe ooaelnrion of onr interview, tbe Gov
ernor, who. notwithstanding hi* prejudices, ia
one of tbe Joiiiest and moat hospitable cf Vir
ginians, invited me to the ailooa.
Tbe next prominent ex Confederate officer
that I mat wax that remarkable and aingnlar
looking gentleman,
naraaxL sxwz*,
of the era leer Alabama notoriety. In the midst
of notable, be attract, attention, and in a erowd
of a thousand the eye would at ouoe single him
out a, an odd and euriona specimen of humanity.
He i» of medium height, elecder but wiry build,
and he walks with the slightest inclination of
the head forward. Bnt the head and feature]
are a study for an artist. The head is email,
bnt well shaped, oovered by thin, iron-gray hair,
ent somewhat in military style, bnt too long,
straggling loosely over his temples, ears, shirt
ooilsr, and parted at the back, though not
the most artistic manner. The forehead is low
snd deeply farrowed; the eyes gray and fiery,
tbe noee tbe very slightest retrousse, nothing
remarkable abont tbe mouth, chin small, bushy
gray brows surmount the enrions eyes, and
fierce looking mustache and imperial ornament
tbe upper and lower lips. Fat all these on
bumpy, weather-beaten faoa of a purplish hue,
with cheeks a little sunken, and a dim idea o!
Semmes’ physiognomy may be conceived. He
wears a beaver high on the baek of his head,
low oo ths forehead, exposing a small patch
bald in the rear, a blaok frock coat, light ool
ored vest and pants, shoe* or gaiters, and
walking cans or nmbrelia completes bis attire—
a model retired old salt, and a pictnre for ~
Na«t.
Walking np to Mr. Semtr.e* in tbe hotel effi
I Introduced myself as a Herald correspondent,
and asked the favor of a few m'nntea’ conver
sation He straightened himself np, and in
dignified mannrr. replied:
tux Din reiuse.
Semmes—Sir, I am notbirg bnt a plain citi
zen, praeticing law In Alabama. I have noth,
icg to say that could interest anybody politi
caily. I have nothing to do with the polities o
onr State, and I wish to have nothing to do
with polities whatever.
Correspondent—But, Admiral, it is not poli
lies so much tbnt I wish to a*k you about,
merely wished to asoertain your opinion as
the destiny of the country, whether it Is going
to remain e republic or will it be converted into
an empire?
Semmes—Tbat, sir, remains to bs seen,
is verv uncertain what the destiny of the conn
try will bo.
Correspondent—Yon have, doubtless, seen
the di*cn*<inn in the newspapers on the (-object
of Cteraritm?
Bemmrs—Yee, sir. I have.
Correspondent—Do yon think General Grant
will be eieoted to a third term 7
Semmes—I have no donbt that, if General
Grant wishes it, be can be eieoted a third time,
contrary as it is to the established precedents cf
the eonntry.
Corre*r>ondent—In that ev.n* do you believe
it wonld b9 a march to empire ?
Semmes—That I am enable to say. -It is, as
I said before, uncertain, and lies hidden in the
womb cf tbo fntnre, only to be decided by
events. And as the Admiral said this he turned
rather abruptly, ended tbe conversation and
walked off, with hia hands behind his baek, his
nmbrelia dangling from them and tbe patch
of bald at tbe orown of bis hetd plainly visible
nnder tbe leaf of his elevated chapeau.

so-called “reconstruction” of the Southern
Slates nnder Radical rnlo. Ia I860 the v&lae
of property in thirteen Southern States, not in
olnd«ng Delaware, Maryland end Missouri, was
$3 993 909 020. In 1870, deducting five hun
dred dollars for each slave reported in I860,
and reducing tbe valuation to the gold basis of
the previous decade, the valuation was $2,762,
2G3 429. a less of 30 per cent. Tho States of Ma
ryland, D *Iaware and Missouri, however, fared
very differently. Darinc the ten years Minanuri
giined nearly $600.000.000; Maryland $ 188,000,-
and Delaware $33 000,000. Ths loss of prop
erty in the thirteen Southern States was, ther*
fore, twelve hundred and thirty millions in go’d,
sum tvo-fhfid* os large ns the bonded debt of
the United State*. Their entiro pronerty in
I860, exclnsive of slaves, was $3,993 909,626,
and tbeir loas Is thirty per cent, of that snm.
Tho loss of slaves, added to that already men
tioned, makes a total of three billions two hun
dred and thirty millions! over one half of tbe
entire property of tbe thirteen States. Mis
souri and Maryland were afflicted by tbo waste
and losses of war quite as much as the majority
of the thirteen States, but Mi*souri bas giined
134 percent, since 16C0, and Alabama and Geor
gia have each lost respectively 41 and 47 per
cant. Arkansas and Missouri had about the
same number of &laves, and vet Arkansas has
lost 22 per cent, of ita wealth. The causes,
therefore, that have led to this decay in the
Southern States have coat tbe oonntry not only
the twelve hundred millions absolutely lost, but
the four thousand millions which they have not
gained—a cum more than than twice as great as
tbe whole national debt. Tho increaro in tbe
value of Southern farms from 1850 to I860 was
one thousand millions of dollars, but tbo de-
cresse from 1860 to 1870 has been still greater,
so that tho entire value of farms in the thirteen
States is less than it was in 1850, twen‘y three
years ago. And emancipation has net caused
this startling deeny. Missouri had slaves end
was the seat of as fierce a warns any of the other
States, and yet in Misnouri the value of farms
his increased one hundred and six*y millions!
Ascertaining from census reports the vahn of
farm lands and camber of acres, the average
valno per acre, improved and unimproved, and
reducing fhe values of 1870 to gold for com
parison with tfco-'e of 1860. we may form some
estimate of (he loss other than the num*
ber of acres oocapied. Ih* los9 in the aver-
ace valne per acre was in Virginia and West
Virginia $2^39, or 20 per cent; in Kentucky,
$1 71, or 11 per cent; in Texas. 83 cents,
22 per cent.; in Tennessee, $4 10, or 30 per
oent.; in Florida, $2 53, or 40 per cent; in
North Carolina. $2 84. or 47 per cent; in Geor
gia. $2 06, or 46 per oent; in Arkansas, $5 32,
or 56 per cent; in Alabama, $5 49, or GO per
cent; in Mississippi, $7 01. or 58 per cents.;
Loniaiaca, $13 29. or CO per cent., and in
South Carolina, $5 63, or C6 per cent. Sack
averages per acre, improved and unimproved,
indicate &n enormom depreciation m the actual
valno per acre of improved lands. Meanwhile,
according to the same test, the average in Mis-
sonri has risen $3 04 per acre, or nearly 30 per
cent, in gold value.
It may be supposed that the dec'ino in agri
culture in these States is due only to the di
minished prodnetion of the few great crops
formerly raised mainly by slave labor. But
statistics show a general decrease in products.
We find, ocmpariDg the crops of I860 and 1870,
not only a loss of 1.300,000 bales of cotton, but
' 2 000 000 pounds of wool; not only a loss
of 170 000,000 pounds of tobacco, tut of 150.-
000,000 pound* of butter—one fourth of tbe
production in 1860—570 000 pounds of cheese,
not onlv a loss of 167.000.000 pounds of sugar
and 8 000.000 gallons of molasses, put of 21,-
000,000 bushels of potatoes, nearly one half
the crop of 1SG0 in those States; not only a
loss of 113.000.000 pounds of rice, but of 8,«
000,000. bushels of wheat 500 000 bushels of
rye, 110,000 tons of hay, 53,000 fon« cf hemp,
and 1C9 000.000 bushels cf corn! In vtew of
decrease in production so general and so
startling, is it strange that Sontbera farms de
preciate in vajue, that half tbe wealth of these
great agricultural States has vanished, and that
one thirteenth of the entire population has al
ready fi»d from a region bo blessed by nature
and so cursed by man ?
An Anecdote or Xapelcon III#
A gotaippy book, just published in London,
entitled, “Court and Social Life in France, un
der Napcleoa III.,” has an anecdote of the late
emceror t which, if true, is very mnch to his
credit. While Xapjleca waa in London, “wait
ing his destiny,” he was watched by French
diplomatic detectives. Three of these elevated
gentlemen so far imposed upon the erde that
* b invited them to dinner, asking some of his
uglish friends to meet them.' After dinner
the subject of horses came up, and the conver
sation resulted in the purchase of a horse by
one of the Frenchmen from an Eogli&h effloer.
The hor»e was eent to the place digested, but
the English gentleman did not gat his money.
Prince N*pa!enn heard of the transaction a few
days after, asd immediately sent to the Engl 7 sh
in an a check for the price, saving that no Ea
giiab gentlemtn should sell a horse at bit table
aud not be paid for it ‘There were swindlers.”
he said, 4 *in countries; bat, {f they raide
their way into g^od society, the ho«ts which
they deceived n.cst see that their other gae&ta
d-d not suffer.'’
Tsz New York Tricot*, Q* thp 233 instant,
states that the fall txado in dry goods has open
ed with unusuil vig^r, and 3 is anticipated by
•Oise of the more expenenerd merchants that
tbe tra3e will be hrger than in tovaral years
past.
