THE CASE OF JOHN CARPENTER, JR.--As
the charges which have been made against
John Carpenter, Jr., Clerk of the House Of
Assembly, Of this State, posscss a local in
terest We give below the report of the In
vestigating Committee and also the letter Of
Mr.. c. in reply to said report.
The evidence has been printed in accor-
dance with the request Of Mr.. Carpenter, and
we have had an opportunity to examine It.
We do not think that It warrants the severe
course which the committee recommend
because there Is no evidence that Mr.. C..
had any mercenary motive in the course he
pursued. The evidence does, however, show
that Mr.. G. does not possess that rare decision
and lrmness Of character which q dispenser Of
Offices should have in order to keep at bay q
horde Of famished Democratic office seekers.
II the testimony of the two candidates for
Clerkships is to be taken, it would appear
that Mr.. Carpenter promised each position
---unconditionally, (Which, however, Mr..
G. denies,) but it seems that the heavy
pressure brought to bear upon him by
other parties, caused him to yield and
promise one Of the positions to another.
The two mon were told this and agreed to the
change by consenting to draw lots. The
successful one was to pay the other $500.
Here is one Of the most oensurable parts Of
the transaction. Subsequently Mr.. G. saw
that his endorsement ON Bamford's note
and wished the note changed, whereupon the
parties made public the whole affair, and
Carpenter refused to appoint either. Coming
to the gist of the matter, tho real offence of
Mr.. Carpenter was in failing to fulfill his
first promise, which, we have no doubt, was
made in good faith. From this came all the
subsequent difficulties, which have been con-
strued into corrupt intentions when we believe
none existed. II failure to fulfill promises
to outside parties is sufficient ground for
declaring a mans position vacant, we have
an idea that were tho rule carried out with
respect to the members of the Legislature. an
early adjournment would be effected for want
of quorum. We are no apolo.ist, however,
for such failures but 1t is not matter which
concerns the Legislature.
The following are the two papers above re-
ferrcd to:
Mr.. Morrow, from the Special Committee
appointed to consider charges against Mr..
John Carpenter, Jr, Clerk Of the House, re-
ported as follows:
The Special Committee, to whom was re-
fcrred the investigation of the charges that
'scertain subordinate Clerkships of the House
had been made the subject Of barter ard sale,
and that at least one Of them, had been be-

also agreed between them that in case Of his
election as Clerk his friends should unite with

That upon his election as Clerk by the
