The vexed question as to who is the
lawful Governor of South Carolina has
been before Judge Carpenter in Colum-
bia for the last two weeks, upon writ OF
habeas corpus sued nut By one Pe:er
Smith. a convict in the State Pcniten-
tiary, who was granted pardon by Gov
ernor Chamberlain on the goth of De-
cember. Col. Parmele, the Superinten-
dent of the Penitentiary, refused to re-
cognize the pardon and declined to re-
lease the prisoner, on the ground that
Chamberlain is not the lawful Governor
of the State, and thatthe attempted grant
of pardon is void and without effect.
The facts connected with the recent cleo
tion, with the pretended Inauguration OF
Chamberlain, with the election and in-
auguration of Hampton, the constitution
ality of the Wallace and the Mackey
Houses, and the legality Of the senate's
action in recognizing the bogus House,
are all involved in the controversy of this
question before Judge Carpenter, who
stated at the outset that the question as
to who is the Governor de facto would be
