MR.. CARPENTERS FEE.

Mr. Matthew II. Carpenters account OF his
employment by Gov. Kellogg differs in many
particulars from the story told by Congress-
man Sypher. Mr.. Sypher says that Kellogg
telegraphed him to engage Carpenter, but the
Senator insisted upon having line from Kel-
logg's own hand, and he got it. Mr.. Carpenter
on the contrary declares that he was retained
neither by Kellogg nor by Sypher, but by Caleb
Cushing, and that Mr.. Gushing suggested the
amount of his fee and paid the first install
ment of it. The word Of Mr.. Carpenter just
about balances the word of Mr.. Sypher. and
we shall not try to judge between them. svN
p But there are some curious circumstances in
the case which provoke inquiry. If it is true
that Mr.. Carpenters fee Of $1,000 was
arranged by Mr.. Cushing, then the lead
ing counsel in the case must have taken
only $1,000 for himself. and assigned
three times as much & to his associate.
Why should Mr.. Cushing and Gen. Butler be
put off with $1,000 each, while Senator Car
penter, who was only junior counsel {" Hon.
"Caleb Cushing" he says, retained me to
"assist him'), was paid S3,OOOi 1t is not GUS
tomary to give the assistant three times as
much as his chief.
1t will also be noticed from the dispatches
we published yesterday that when Mr.. Car
penter delivered his first speech in Congress
against the Louisiana usurpation, Kellogg, in
stead of owing him half the amount of his
bill, had not paid any part of it, The account
was more troublesome to collect than we sup
posed. This circumstance gives particular
force to the remark in Chambers letter of
December, 1873, "The : largest demand.
whether reasonable or not, it was expedient
" for you to meet. Much would have been
"saved if it had been responded to year
"ago according to my request"
Finally, there seems to be discrepancy
about the amount which Mr.. Carpenter really
did receive. He acknowledges getting $500 in
reply to his desperately short. letter. The
check book shows three other payments to
him in 1873 of $500 each, May 10, May 81, and
Dec. 20. That makes $4,000. On April %,
1873, Gov. Kellogg drew $4,000 from bank aud
sent it to Chandler I" for c. Cushing and Matt.
"H. Carpenter" 1t appears from the CORE
spondence that $4,000 of this amount was in
the form of draft in. favor of Mr.. Cushing,
and $1,000 must therefore have been for Mr..
Carpenter-presumably another draft. Here,
then, we have the payment of $4,000 to Car
penter accounted for. But Carpenter says,
"The first money / received was part of q
Remittance from Kellogg to Mr.. Gushing,
(which Mr.. Cushing forwarded to me-" That
looks as if he had privately taken Sl,0OO from
Mr.. Chandler, which Cushing knew nothing
about, and then received a share of MIR. Cush-
ing's draft also.

SOUTHERN OUTRAGES.

A few weeks ago the Hon. Charles Hays, a
Member of Congress from Alabama, published
q long account of brutal murders and Outrages
committed upon Republicans in certain parts
of his State, and fortified his story with such
an array of names, dates, and particulars that
very few persons at the North who read 1T
thought of doubling its substantial ac-
curacy. The statements of Mr.. Hays
were promptly denied by the Alabama
press and by respectable citizens living
near the scenes OF alleged disturbance, but
they have been reiterated by Admin
istration organs until it has become
one of the vexed questions of the day whether
Alabama is really under a rule of terror. We
publish this morning q communication from
the Prosecuting Officer of Marengo County,
Alabama, to which Mr.. Hays will find it
necessary to pay immediate attention. The
writer confines his attention to two counties,
his own and one adjoining in which Mr.. Hays
asserts that political assassnations have re-
Gently occurred; and he furnishes what seems
to be conclusive proof that Mr.. Hays has been
guilty of gross misstatements. If the honor
able gentleman has misrepresented two coun-
ties, it is highly probable that he has mis-
represented the whole State. 49,
Mr. Clarke makes q curious offer which at
least goes to prove his good faith. He pro-
poses that we shall send good Republican to
Alabama to investigate the alleged Outrages
if the stories of Mr.. Hays are confirmed by
this agents report, Mr.. Clarke will pay the
expenses of the inquiry, and he sends us 800
az deposit and guarantee: if the stories are
disproved, Mr.. Hays is invited to bear the cost.
We cannot consent to this arrangement. and
have consequently returned Mr.. Clarke's money.
The inquiry is our work, and we cannot per-
nit other persons to pay for it. Some
time ago thoroughly competent and trust
worthy correspondent, who is lifelong Re-
publican, was dispatched by us to Alabama
with orders to make a thorough investigation
into the alleged outrages and the present re-
lations of the races and political parties, and
TO give us the full and exact truth, no matter
who might suffer by it. He is now on the
ground; and we await his report with the
fullest confidence in its accuracy and i'm
nartiality.

BY far the most brilliant of the addresses
before the Oriental Congress at London, was
that of Prof. Owen, which we print to-day.
The other papers were in great part technical,
and chiefly of interest to students of philology
and allied sciences. Prof. Owen deals with
the earliest history of the human race, dis
coursing upon the development of morality in
primeval man, and referring to the newly
discovered records of a profound antiquity of
civilization in Egypt, which were the theme of
two of the most interesting letters to The
TRIBUNE written from that country by Bayard
Taylor. The difficulty of making these his
torical records agree with the accepted Bib
lical chronology, has forced itself upon the
speaker, and frankly acknowledging it, he urges
that we must rid ourselves of our proposes
sions when investigating these subjects. 1t
will not be surprising if this address should
cause the venerable Prof. Owen-the disciple
of Cuvier-tO be classed with Profs. Tyndall
and Huxley in having intruded on the border
land between science and religion.

A telegram from London announces what
we have predicted-the election of the Tory
candidate to represent the borough of
Northampton in the British Parliament. 1t
was tolerably certain before the election that
Mr.. Bradlaugh would mot receive a majority
of the Liberal votes, and, as he persisted in
being candidate, he is, in large measure,
responsible for the Tory's success.

on the colored people, we now have reports by

rights of citizens seem to have given way to
