L. Cas- CARPENTER was appointed by
Grant TO be collector Of internal revenue
for the Charleston, South Carolina, dis
trict. Carpenter was very loyal, and
was o special favorite with Grant during
ths Atter's presidential term. Carpenter
was at ell times ready and could supply
his master with all manner OF stories
about the rebel whites In and about
Charleston, and to him the white people
Of that section distributed most of their
troubles with the negroes. Carpenter was
Aoarpetbagger and poor man when he
went Into the revenue office. but In less
than two yearszheh Accumulated an i'm.
menss fortune. 4 Carpenter was a great
man while GRAFT was president. Short
~ after the State election last fall, when
10 became evident that the State would
pass into the hands of the Democrats,
Carpenter resigned hls office, giving as
reason for so doing that he could not live
In South Carolina under Democratic rule.
Hslstt the State and went to New Jersey.
Recent events, however, prove that Car
penter did not resign his office because
he WA afraid OF the Democrats. He was
guilty Of forgery, and fearing detection
decided to get out of the way. He raised
two notes for $500 to $1,000. A few
days ago he was arrested and taken back
to Charleston where he is now in jail.

ENGLISH OPINION OF THE DUTY OF
MEssRs. HAYES AND WHEELER.-The
withdrawal OF Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Wheel
er from a conflict in which they must per-
ceiye that victory would be dishonor is
scarcely. perhaps. to be hoped for, but at
least it may be said that two public men
coming at the same time to a generous
and straightforward resolution, have it in
their power to break through the cobWebs
OF tecnnicalities and trickery. Their couns
try, We are sure, would not forget so noble
a service. The presidential election, whats
ever the formal result, showed a popular
majority of some 30u,G GOO votes for the
democratic ticket, and the withdrawal
Of the republican candidates would
only give effect to the will of the people.
1t would he for the advantage even of the
republican party itself, which. under a new
republican administration, would IRE,
trlevabiy go to pieces, but which in oppo-
sition may hope speedily to renew its
strength. The ratification of republican
policy by a democratic government would
be NJ unimportant gain, and it is certain
that MI. Hidden will be as little able or

amendments as the conservative adminis>

HON. B. II. HILL. of Georgia, who has
been much annoyed by letters from his con,
~stituents since a report that he would yield
to the counting in of HAYES by the Sen
ate, denies the report and in explaining
what his views are complains OF the want
of tolerance by the South for views not in
complete accord with their own. Mr.. Hill.
must lave had the Republican party in his
mind, not the South which has been very
silent about it's views since the Preslden
tIal election. 1t is the Republican press
of tie North that has been quick to de-.
nounce everybody and everything moi
agreeing that HAYES is to be President.
Gen. w. F. BARLOW, a Union officer OF
high rank, Republican in politics. sent to
Florida by GRANT himself to see q fair
count, comes back and says that TILDEN
carried the State and is promptly de-
nounced by the whole Radical press. Mr..
JOHNNY DAVENPORT, a notorious Radl-
cal political trickster who liked up" as far
as he could the election in New York city
testified before a Congressional committee
that TILDEN IS majority was fairly achieved
and promptly meets the same fate with
Gen BARLOW. Mr.. CONKLING is on the
eve of getting a sample of this tolerance
merely because he is suspected OF favor
ing a fair count in Congress. The intol-
erance of the Republican press to those of
its leaders who do not toe the mark in the
way Of backing up the Returning Board
frauds is uneXampled.
