Is Carpenter, reported that Judge
Carpenter appeared before tho com

by tho chairman, replied as follows
That he discharged the jury because
they were incompetent, and that his
act was was II Judicial net, and that
the Legislature of South Carolina
had no jurisdiction in the premises.
These facts the committee submitted
Without comment, leaving to the
House to judge ot their weight, i'm .
portancc and legality.

A Judge III Trouble.

In another column will be found an
extract from the proceedings Of the
Legislature, embodyirg II resolution to
institute inquiry into the conduct Of
Judge Carpenter in discharging Il
JUICY because Of their utter unti,.>> 5,
for their duties, as shown in IL vcrdic,
rendered by them contrary to all
reason and justice. Our legislators
arc quite fond Of investigation after
their own fashion, and we arc by no
means surprised at this action. Ever
since the Radical party commenced
their ruinous rule, the leaders have
been OH the lookout for something on
which to found charge of di$crimi-
nation con account Of race, color or
previous condition Of scrvitudo >
and while W. hardly suppose that
this will be the complaint against
Judge Carpenter, yet We cannot but
think that at the bottom of tho rcso-
lutions adopted by the House is the
mania now SO prevalent for constituting
every act, whcther legal or otherwise,
against the colorcd man, into All in
ftmgcmcnt of his "civil rights" The
action Of Judge Carpenter canno. but
meet tho appreciation Of every good
citizen. In too many cases, the
iurics arc made up of men, who, by
reason either of pr, judicc or Of men
tai incapacity, arc incapable Of re-.
alizing the magnitude Of the issues
presented for adjudication. The re-
cent case in Judge Carpenters court
Is by no means the first in which law
and evidence have been most shame
iully disrcgardct. The Ku Klux
trials before Judge Bond, lin which
the jurics wore manipulated much
after the, same mannor rs arc some
Of those in our State courts) will
ever stand rs blot upon the record
of the United States Court 'in South
Carolina. We arc not disposed, at
