Congressional honosy and profits ore, as plenty as
mosquitoes, and just about as rayencus. In the
First District, B, F. Whittsmorer the present in;

longer. In the Second District, Hon. G. G. Bow

good Of the party and himself The chances, how
ever, are against him and knowing this, Reuben
(Tomlinson, white carpet bagger, who is in the
Legislature from Charleston, and F. 1, Cardooza,
the negro Secretary Of State, each desire to sue
Ieeed him. In the Third District, there are two as
pirants for the place Of Simeon Corley, the Lexing

bagger recently elected one Of the Associate Just-

preston and do justice to Governor Scott is is on
" necessary to say what literally true, that hob
ert Kingston Scott, now Governor of South Caro-.
lima, was never q resident Of Philadelphia, and
never passed six hours in that city in his life. The
person against whom the injurious statements a.
boye referred to are made, is supposed to be one
Robert Kean Scott, and whatever may be true OF
him, il is quite certain that Robert Kingston Scott
| formerly; Of Ohio, and now of South Carolina, is
ready to pay at sight any lawful claims against him.
and has means to do so fifty times over. Govern
or Scott is no penuiless adventurer, but man
whose honorable record as soldier and civilian
will be attested by his political enemies as well as
his friends" .,..:,.'. .-a ...E .-''.. .-

CHARLOTTE, N. G., August 10, 1868.
DEAR SIR: In replying to your favor of the 9Th
instant, making inquiries in reference to the char
acter of Dr. ]. L. Neagle, will state. such facts
as know, of my own personal knowledge, in as
brief and conscise manner-as possible.
In 1854, j. L. Neagle, with several other young
men, (including myself, boarded with II. S. Pharr,
Esq, near Harrisburg Depot; Cabarrus County,
North Carolina, and went to school to Mr. s:
Lindsey. Neagle was beneficiary Of Concord
Presbytery, and was being educated for minister.
The first three or four months, his department
excellent; he prayed regularly every morning and
evening, and observed strictly every Sabbath. In
fact, his great object seemed to be to DO the wil
of Him who said, "Thou shalt not steal
After the time referred to, pocket books money,
&C., began to disappear. .Neagle protested to lose
money Our landlord suspected. Neagie, but no
one Of the boarders did. One morning after this,
Mr. 81. s. Pharr and wife started for Concord, a.
bont the same time we started for school Neagle
| said that he was sick and remained at home
| When We returned from school, we found that
Neagle had robbed several of the boarders trunks
and 1eH for parts unknown. He did not take his
trunk with him, but left nothing of value in it
Some time after this, on returning from school, we
we're surprised to find that our landlord had Neage
10 duress Neagle had returned to get his, trunk,
