only things that Parker has left DO.
hind him are the hosts of unpleasant q 4
rumors rumors which however seem
to como from good sources, and which
ronder it very evident that his release

from beginning to end. As was
telegraphed last night, McCoed, the
Justice who let him 60 on $4,000 boil
told MIR. Wingate that he would not
release Parker without giving him
notice. This was At 10 O'Clock at
night. Col. Rion who represented
the State in these cases, was to haVs
been in tho city, but was delayed
by foods in the country. MoCord
sent to the office Of the solicitor, who
wss, Of course, not there. Solicitors
do not generally remain in their
otfioes at that hour Of the night.
1t seems to be generally we'll known
now that wheuiParker was reoaptured
after his Camden jauut ho was in
very low spirits, and was.very much
inoensed against "the friends" who
who had "pushsd him up',' to escape,
but who had refused him sheitor
after his lighting rod glide. 1t is
known, too, that he threatened to
make u olean breast Of all bis fuan-
cial peculatious, and that he wa
ready to do tho same thing for his
lricuds. When this threat was made
there was. great oommotion amoug
these friends. Judge Maokey was
tclcgraphed for, arrived promptly,
and gave the most wonderful oxem.
Publications. Of the elasticity Of the
great writ CT habeas corpus that the
world has evor seen. Justice MoCord,
10 whom was entrusted the duty OF
carrying out the concluding ,act in the
,falco, followed the very striking pre-.
oedeut laid down by his Homo, Judge
MOckey, and as is known, the noxt
train carried Parker to parts
unknown. Col. Rion, who arrived in
tho city on Tuesday, says that ho
has no intention OF dropping the
matter. On the first day Of tho
October term of the Court of Sos.
sions, the State will apply to Judge
Carpenter for rule compelling the
sheriff to show cause why he should
not be attached for failing to arrest
Parker. The State will also appeal
from Judge Maokey's decision in
the habeas corpus ouse, and from his
order vacating the arrest of Parker
OH the sinking fund case. Another

tanned requisition will DO made for
him. The officers who represent the
state Guy that they follow him all
through the country with viow to
bring him back to justice.
THE coMrTRoLLER-aENERAL's oFr1cE.
To day Comptrol!er~G eneral Dunn
was served with papers in the suit
brought by MIR. JAS. B. Campbell,
plaintiff, to test the legality Of his
election to the office of comptroller-
general. The case will be argued
before Judge Carpenter, in this city,
at the October term of the court.
Under the laws tf the State, no per-
sou can bring .uit to eject State
officer without first obtaining the
permissio Of one of the circuit
judges. This will account for tho
trausfor of tho case from Barnwell,
where Judge Maher granted tho
original order, to this circuit. Judge
Maher simply gave the necessary per.
mission for the plaintiff to bring
suit, and the summons and complaint
have beon issued here, returnable in
twenty days. The plaintiff is repre-
sented by Mes,rs. Kutlodgo & Young
Of Charleston. The comptroller
general will be represented by Attors
ney-Goneral Melton.
