AIR LINE RA1LnoAD.-The Town Council
of Anderson, at special meeting held on
Tuesday last, adopted resolutions for the pur-
pose of being represented at the stockholders
meeting of the Air Line Railroad which will
convene in Atlanta, Ga, on Tuesday next, 2Sth
inst. In order to carry out the wishes of the
Council and the people of Anderson, the
following gentlemen were requested to attend
the meeting of stockholders and represent the
interests of our town: Hon. JAMES L. ORR,
Hon. J. P. REED and 3. T. GRAFTON, Esq.
It is understood that the two last named have
signi6ed their willingness and readiness to ac-
cept the trust confded in them; but it is feared
that the official duties of Judge ORR, who is
holding Court at Abbeville, will prevent him
from being in attendance. 1t is earnestly
hoped, however, that Judge ORR will find it
consistent and convenient for him to be pres
ent, as much depends upon the action of this
meeting.

JUDGE Hoge.

The unwilling constituents of this gentleman,
in this region will be pleased to learn some
thing of his movements, as the official records
of Congress do not show any great attention to
his duties as Representative. The Newberry
Herald of last week notices his presence in that
town, at hilarious meeting of his colorcd con-
stituents, while the Abbcville Press states that
he has visited that place recently aad on sever
al occasions. Of course, the distinguished ~
Representative makes q speech each visit, and
is severely dcnunciatory Of his political oppo-
ncnts. We were in Columbia three or four
weeks ago, and Judge HoGE was there at that
time. We left Columbia on last Saturday, and
he was still hanging about the capital. His
prolonged absence from official duties is not eX-
planned, and we arc left to conjecture. Rumor
saws that HoGE is wofuly beset in regard to
the Radical nomination for Congress, and that
he is making industrious efforts to keep down
oppositon to him in the nominating convcn-
ton. IL has been darkly hintcd that r. B..
Elliott (colorcd,) will receive the nomination,
and is decided layoritc among the Radicals
over the present incumbent. BE this true or
not, we can assure the occupant of Mr.. REEDS
seat in Congress that the white people of this
section would infinitely prefer Elliott, if the
choice lies between him and HOGE

Sketch of Judge Carpenter.

The Charleston Ncws thus sketches the life
o. Hon. r. B. CARPENTER, the candidate of
the Union Reform party for Governor of this
State
Judge Carpenter was born in franklin Coun-
ty Vermont on the first day of January, 1926;
When twelve years of age his parents removed
to Kentucky. Here the Judge received an
academical education. When ready for col
lege ill 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 Ken
tucky and read law in the Office of the Hon.
late J. r. Morehead, at one time Governor OF
that State, and also United States Senator.
On the first day of January, 1917, then being
twenty-one wears of age, the Judge was adj
mitted to practice law in the Supreme Court of
the State of Kentucky. He commenced the
practice of law, and in 1851 was elected attor-
ney for the Commonwealth. 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
commonweath'S attorney, and retained that
position until 1867, in which year nc came TO
this city. He was appointed by Chief Justice
Chase registrar III D;t!lkruptcI loI lHls ul"lii. ~;
and discharged the duties of this Office until
the second Of January 1869, when he took his
seat as Judge Of the Fifth Judicial Circuit,
having been elected on the ninth of December,
1865, by thrce-iourths vote of the Lcgisla-
turc.
As Judge of this Circuit, Judge Carpenter
has given universal satisfaction. 1t is thought
that lie will resign his office, to accept the
nomination, 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 man of singu-
lar ability, energy and force of character.
Forty-forr years of age, and of commanding.
stature his features bespeak the presence Of
an iron will and a dauntlcss determination.
In the bitter political contests of kentucky,
in which he has taken part, lie has gained no
little reputation for ready wit and effective
speaking on the stump. In addressing pub
lie assembly, his style is direct, earnest and
incisive; and those of our citizens, Of what
ever color or political convictions, who may
have the good fortune to hear him in the course
of the approaching canvass, will see the veil
torn from the organized rascalitics of the Scott
Ring in style at which the arch robbers in
Columbia, and their undcrstrappcrs elsewhere,
calloris as they are, will fairly vince.

Miles G. Parker, State Treasurer.

The following letter is copied from the New
York Nation 1t is the testimony of "a thor
oueh Republican" as to the merits of the State
Treasurer, NILES G. PARKER, formerly of Mas
sachusetts. In this connection it is interesting
to know that the recent exposure of the Land
Commission swindle, whereby somebody made
100000 out of single transaction in that office,
is about to bring the swindle home to Treasurer
PARKER if we may believe Radical sources.
While in Columbia last week, this subject was
being thoroughly discussed, and prominent
Radical ofice-holder distinctly stated, within
our hearing, that the swndle had been narrow
ed down to twomembers of the Advisory Board.
The correspondent of the Charleston NewS al
leres that these are Treasurer PARKER and
Attorney General CHAMBEELAIN, and express
ses the opinion that one more move will decide
the issue between them. From all we could
learn, the ex-Captain of the 33rd u. S. Colored
Troops now holding the purse-strings of this
State, will be made to disgorgc the almost fabu-
lous amount obtained by this nelarious trans
action, and we may indulge the hope that other
villainies will be unearthed before long. We
copy the letter to which reference is made in
the foregoing:
To The Editor of the Nation-SIR: My attcn-
ton has been called to an article in the New
York Independent in reference to our State
Treasurer, Niles G.. Parker He is spoken of
as having restored this State to solvency, and
obtained for himself the respect Of all business
men, both in this country and i'll Europe. L
enlisted this Parker in the First Massachusetts
Cavalry Regiment, at Haverhill, Massachusetts,
where he had been the unsuccessful proprietor
of restaurant and bar.
After he left the army he commenced busi.
ness in Charleston, where he failed, and is now
restoring himself to solvency by compromising
with his creditors for abouttwcnty-flvc cents on
the dollar Since 1865 have held claim
against him for several hundred dollars, which
my attorney has settled recently for thirty cents
on the dollar.
1t is my opinion that the amount expended
BY Mr.. Parker for diamonds, since he has been
State Treasurer would more than pay all his
debts in full.
1t is we'll known that there were many mem
bcrs of the Constitutional Convention and of
the General Assembly who had been drilled so
that they could barely write their names, and
yet could hardly write a word in the English
language. There were no members of the Gen
eral Assembly in times past who could neither
read nor write. This State WAS represented in
the Assembly by men of the highest culture
and ample means.

publican, but am opposed to being any longer
misrcpreScntcd by incompetent, corrupt men.

sge 1t is stated that Gov SCOTT he's accu-
mulated, during the past two years, fortune
of $3.50, 200, and that be only asks the office of
Governor for another term to enable him to
retire on a competency. Will some mathema'
tician oblige us with the rule showing how
this amount could be honestly made in two
wears from $1,000 salary? 1t is likewise
stated that Comptroller General NEAGLE had
to borrow money to defray his expenses to Co
lumbia two years ago. and that he is now worth
$500 600. These statements are doubtless eX-
aqgerated, but we would like to know exactly
how much truth there is in them.

FUNERAL OF WM. GILMORE SIMMs.-The
people of Charleston attested their reverence
and affection for the great novelist and poet on
the occasion of his burial Previous to his
death, Mr.. SI1lMs stated that he wanted no one
to officiatc as his pall-bcarer who did not love
him and whom hc did not love, and consequent
ly only his intimate friends acted in this ca
pacity. The funeral rites of the Episcopal
church were solemnly performed at st. PauPs
by Rev. Messrs G. G. PINcKNEY and j. w.
MILES, after which the remains were removed
to hcarse, and the procession moved slowly to
Magnolia Cemetery. Here, in q corner of the
plat donated for monument to JOHN G. Call
HoUN, the remains of South Carolnas gifted
novelist historian and poet were inferred, with
out formal ceremonies.
The coffin was profilscly decorated with
wrcaths, and crosses of flowers and cvcrgrccns.
On these was laid representation of harp
appropriately inscribed, "Woodand's harp is
mute" 1t was the work of a lady, and the in
scrption is from the poem, go Temporal! 0,
lNoycs r' written by J. Dickson BRUINS, of
New Orleans, an intimate friend of Mr. SINlMs,
and in which this reference is made to the lat
ter:
