Serious Charge against the President.

Serious Charge against the President.
--On the 2Oth instant, ex. Attorney. Gen
eral Williams was examined by the House
committee on expenditures in the department
of justice, and testified to the payment to
John j. Davenport, former United States
Commissioner in New York, the sum of
$4,000 out of the secret service funds for
election purposes. Williams asserted that
the money was paid by direct order Of the
President.
In regard to this charge, brought by for
mer member of his Cabinet, the President is
reported as being thoroughly aroused and ex.
cited, denouncing the statement as untrue.
He says he has no recollection of Williams
calling on him to disburse the money for d.
venport's use, and that if he did, it was rep.
resented to him to be different matter, and
that he has been deceived. The President
has further resolved on full investigation Of
the charges and has decided to take the ad-
vice of the Cabinet in the premises for that
purpose. ....-.. a"

JUDGE CARPENTERS REPLY TO THE COVER
NoR's SPEECH. ".' 't.;
To the Editor of the Neas and Courier !:
You published in your issue Of the 18th inst
my remarks in the Convention, and the reply
of the Governor, characterizing the former as
"bitter" and the latter crushing" If you
were right, the bitterness was simply that Of
facts that cannot be denied, and if, for tenn
porary purpose, anything was crushed, it was
the truth. As you did not publish my rejoin.
der, must ask as an act Of justice to myself
that you publish this letter. My general
charge against the Governor was that he had
not only deserted the friends who elected him,
but had persistently, with personal taunt and
executive lash, tried to drive and keep them in
the wrong, with view to their destruction
and his exaltation. That charge was support
ed by the most ample and conclusive proof.
How was it answered? BY the statement
that he had met me at Chester, in 1870, as
the chosen leader Of the Democracy, and that
I had made vulgar, Utuperative and pro-
fame speech. This, in whole and id part, is
simply untrue. We met there on the occa.
sion referred to for a joint debate The late
Mr.. Jonas Byrd opened the discussion, and
Governor Chamberlain followed in a carefully
prepared speech, and, when l rose toreply, his
crowd began to throw boulders, raised mob,
fired pistols, and brokeup the meeting, and l.
did not speak. The speech referred to by the
Governor is purely the product of his imagi-
nation. The,truth Of this statement will be
found in your paper Of August 21st, 1870, and
the testimony Of every person then present
But MIR. Chamberlain did deliver speech
which was subsequently, published, and is be-
fore me- He asserted in that speech that only
100000 had been added to the State debt
since the Inauguration of Governor Scott !;

Secretary Bristow is the. only Southern man
who has been spoken of for President as the
candidate of either party, and this expression
of Mr.. Boutwell, is now understood to have
been levelled at him, and to be distinct no:
tice that the North will never consent to the
elevation of Southern man to the Presiden-
cy. In this defiant notice, Mr.. Boutwell, has,
it is alleged, laid down the ultimatum Of the
Republican party Of the North, and since he
made this speech, many Northern members Of
both Houses, who have never indulged in the
violent public utterances which come from
him, have asserted, without hesitation, that in
this respect he echoes the undoubted opinion
of the mass of the people of the North.

He then deliberately struck match and fired
