COLUMBIA, June IS.
The Sampson trial for forgery came of, TO-
(lay in the Circuit Court before Judge Melton.
1t resulted in verdict Of '.Not Guilty." upon
purely technical grounds. The defence man-
tained that. because the indictment did
not contain the proper averments, evil
dence could not be introduced to bring the
paper within the act, which does not contain
the word coupon; and The prosecution failed
therefore to show that it was in law either "a
promissory note, or a warrant for the pay
ment Of money" twas further maintained
that the forgery was not committed OF caused
to be committed in South Carolina. Upon
this question of renu", Solicitor Talley gave
notice that lie would appeal TO the Supreme
Court
Sampson was rearrested Immediately upon
new indictment, for forging another of the
coupons.
Ifthe States appeal to the Supreme Conrt
result in affirming the jurisdiction of the Cir
cult Court. the accused will be tried again be-
fore Judge Melton, upon the new indict-
ment. CoIs AIR.

OUR CANDIDATE.
A sketch of His Career.

As matter of general interest, we publish
the following sketch Of the life of the Hon. R.
B. Carpenter, the candidate of Tile Union Re-
form party for Governor OF South Carolina:
Judge Carpenter was born in Franklin
County. Vermont. ON the first day Of January.
1876. When twelve years of age his parents
removed TO Kentucky. Here the Judge
received an academical education. When
ready for college i'll health compelled him
to. travel. and about four years was
spent in travelling In Texas and in the
Southwest generally. When his health was
restored he returned to Kentucky and read
law In the office of the Hon. late j. 7. More
head, al one time Governor OF that State, and
also United States Senator. On the first day
of January, 1871, then being twenty-one years
OF age, the Judge was admitted 10 practice law
in the Supreme Court oflhe State OF Kentucky.
as5l was elected attorney for the Common
wealth. This Office he held until 1854. when
he was elected attorney for the Chicago, Alton
and st. Louis Railroad Company. After holding
this office for three years, living in Chicago the
while, he returned to Kentucky, where, in
1862, he was reelected commonwealth's ut
torney. and retained that position until 1857,
in which year lie came 10 this city. He was
appointed by Chief Justice Chase registrar In
bankruptcy for this district, and discharged
the. duties OF this Office until the second OF
January, 1860. when lie took his seatas Judge
Il I,,,lic N
ed on the ninth OF December, 1865, by three
fourths vote Of the Legislature.
As Judge oil this Circuit. Judge Carpenter
has given universal satisfaction. It Is thought
that he will resign his office, 10 ACCEPT the NOM
ination, as soon as the criminal docket OF his
court is disposed of, which will probably be
before the close of the present month.
In person and in bearing Judge Carpenter
impresscs all who meet him as llan of sim
gular ability, energy and force of character.
Forty-four years of age, and of commanding
stature, his features bespcak the presence of
an iron will and q tlauntess determination. In
the bitter political contests of Kentucky, in
which he has taken part, he has gained no
little reputation for ready wit and eDec-
tive speaking on the stump. In al
dressing public assembly, his style is di-
rect. earnest and incisive; and those of our
citizens, Of whatever color or political convic-
tions. who may have the good fortune TO hear
him in the course Of the approaching canvass.
will see the veil torn from tile organized
rlscalitics Of the Scott Ring. in a style at
which the arch robbers in Columbia. and their
underStrappers elsewhere, calous rs they are.
