Our Oandidate---A Sketch Of His Career.

AS matter Of general interest. we
publish the following sketch of the
life of the Hon. II. b. Carpenter, the
candidate of the Union Reform party
for Governor of South Carolina
Judge Carpenter was born ia Frank
lin county, Vermont, on the first day
Of January, 1926. When twelve
years Of age his parents removed to
Kentucky. Here the Judge received
an academioal education. When rea-
dy for college i'll health compelled
him to travel, and about fonr 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 tho late Hon. II. j. Morehcad, at
one time Governor Of that State, and
also United States Senator. On the
first day of January, ls47, then being
twenty one years Of age, the judge
was admitted to practice in tho SUI
prcme Court Of the State of Ken
lucky. He commenced the practice
of law, and in 1851 was elected at.
torney for the commonwealth. This
office he held until 1854, when he
was elected attorney for the Chicago,
Alton and St. Louis Railroad Com
puny. After holding this Office three
years, living iu Chicago the while, he
returned to kentucky, where. in lS62,
he was reelected commemorative at
torney, and retained that position un-
til 1867, in which year he came to
this city. He was appointed by Chief
Justice Chase, registrar in bankruptcy
for this district, ard discharged the
duties of this office until tue second
of January, 1869, when he took his
seat as Judge of the Fifth judicial
Circuit, having been elected on the
9th Of December, 1868, by three
fourtbs vote of the Legislature.
AS Judge Of this Circuit, Judge
Carpenter has given universal, salts
faction. 1t is thought that he will re-
sign his office, to accept the nomiLa-
tiou, 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 impresses all who meet him
ae man Of singular ability, energy
and force of character. Forty four
years of age, and Of commanding
statue, his features bespeak the pres
ence Of an iron will and q dauutless
determination. In the bitter politi-
cal contests Of Kentucky, in which he
has taken part, he has gained no little
reputation for ready wit ard effective
speaking on the stump. In address
ing public assembly. his style is d.
rect, earnest aud impressive; and
those of our citizens, Of whatever col
or 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 organ

sty lie at which the arch robbers in

THE MAN VINO KILLED ZoLLlcor.
FER. The Standard (Ky) D;spatch
tells how General Iollicoiler, Of the

killing an enemy in actual battle, but
the reflection that he had killed a hu-
man being who at the time could have
been made a prisoner by the mere
stretching forth of his hnnd who was
powerless to do him am injury--so
wrought upon his conscience ---preyed,

THE HOWE MACHINE COMPAt.Y'S
WORLD-RENOWNED
SEWING MACHINES !
DARIS EXPOSITION UNIvERSELLE, 1867,
/ Two Grand Prizes, Grand Cross of the
Legion of Honor, to Elias Howe, Jr. as inventor,
Gold Medal for the Best Sewing Machine,
The highest honors ever conferred for Sewing
Machines.

The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Jr., has long been regarded as the stand
ard of excellence and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is unsurpassed the thinest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams it turns its own
hem AS 1T sews, sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself. TO see it hem, fell, tuck, braid,
cord, quit and gather, it seems more like thing
of life than machine moved by the will of the
operator 1t is capable of doing every descrip-
tion of sewing that is required in IA family and
also for seamstresses and dressmakers it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating, and in word, are the
most satisfactory SeWing Mdchines in use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold at prices as low as other frst-class ma
chimes
A Medallion likeness of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of a
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
Jr's Sewing Machine, and if they are not sold in
their vicinity, address the General Agency for
illustrated, etc, and do not purchase until you
have thoroughly investigated these renowned
machines.
