Carpet.Bag Gratitude.
WASHINGTON, April

Ex-Represenatiye L. CasG Carpenter,
of South Carolina, who WIS in prison
for over three months, convicted Of pre-
senting fraudulent claims for printing
and advertising against the State, ar.
rived here on Thursday, having been par
doned by Governor Hampton, He says
there lis no protection for Republicans in
South Carolina, and that if the colored
Representative Smalls, Senator Patterson
or Ex-Governor Chamberlain eyor 60 to
that State again they will certainly be
sent to the penitentiary. He says Pat
terson is still under eight indictments,
mostly for bribery, aud that if Smalls
does not return and stand his trial he
must forfeit his ten thousand dollar bond.
He thinks Senator Butler has been of no
service to Patterson, and that Butler and
Hampton are not as friendly as formerly,
and therefore Butler will not be able to
help Patterson in the future. He does not
think Patterson will ever return to South
Carolina. According to Carpenter,
Senator Patterson still adheres to Butler.
and says he will vote for Butler as against
the claims of Corbin to a seat in the
Senate, Carpenter says that every jury
man who convicted him offered to in
dorse his application for pardon, and
that two jurymen made affidavit that they
voted to convict him believing their lives
would not have been safe otherwise.
He said he never applied for pardon,
nor allowed his friends to do 30 for him.

REFUSING TO ASSIGN COUNSEL
Judge Hudson perenptorily declines to
assign counsel to defeHd persons charged
with crime of less degree than capital
offences. This course which, by the
way, has a precedent in the action of
Judge Mackey at the last term he pre-
sided here, will have a happy effect in
checking crime in the future. Hereto.
fore, petty crimes have been committed
almost with impunity, the perpetrators
being assured in advance, by the reputa-
ton of Sheriff Glenn as a dieter, that
they would be well fed and cared for,
and when the time for trial arrived, able
counsel would be assigned them, and
they would stand, in reasonable degree,
chance of acquittal. Such will not be
the case hereafter. Nor is the rule ap-
piled to colored prisoners alone. In the
case Of the State against Millwood, q
white man, who was without counsel, the
Judge plainly announced that it was not
in the province of the court to assign
counsel that he had no more authority
to direct q lawyer to defend him than to
command a farmer to donate him guam
tity of corn. Aside from the salutary
effect which will follow this ruling, it
will also be great relief to members OF
the BAR YorEviHe Enquirer.

-Itis foregone conclusion, says the
Laurensville Herald, that Governor
Hampton will be renominated and re-
elected, and we are in favor of the entire
State ticket being renominated as they
were selected 10 lead what many thought
"a forlorn hope" During the last cam
paign they bore the brunt of the battle
and came out victorious, and we are sor-
ry to see that thoughtless perscns or
malcontents are speaking of Others in
connection with the Office of Lieutenant
Governor than the gentleman whose
name heads this article. Now Colonel
Simpson, it is urged by some, is no can
didate for reelection. This is tue, but
he was no candidate before; he is not
the man to electioneer or lobby for an
Office. It would be base ingratitude on
the part of the people of the State not
to re-elect him to that position he now so
ably fills. As a patriot, an intellectual
gentleman and pure Christian, he is the
equal of any and inferior to no one in
the State-and to fail to keep him whe-e
he is would verify the old adage about
the people-"that they cry hozannah TO
man to-day and cruelty him to-mor-
rown

THE RED SHIRTS.

The Charleston Journal of Commerce
of recent date contains co,nmunica-
ton from Aiken claiming that the Hon.
G. D. Tillman was the first man in South
Carolina to suggest the red shir; uniform,
which became such favorito with the
Democratic mounted clubs of 1876, and
contributed SO largely to the confidence
and enthusiasm which prevailed during
the canvass of that year. The ,orrespon-
dent gives as the date upon which the
uniform was first worn the frs; Tuesday
in September, which was the fifth day of
the month, and fixes the occasion as the
night of the Democratic torch light pro-
cession in Aiken.
This statement is incorrect, 30 far as
it designates Hon. G.. D. Tilllnan as the
first to suggest and the CurrytDwn Sabre
Club as the first to wear the rcd shirt, as
has already been clearly shown by the
Columbia Register. We now refer to it
to concur with the Register in testifying
to the fact that the Pendleton Company,
now commanded by Capt J. G. Strib-
ling, but during the canvass Of 1876
commanded by Col. A. J. sitton, were
the first to wear this uniform, which was
suggested by Col. Sitton. The Pendleton
Company appeared at the grand Hamp-
ton meeting held at Anderson on Satur-
day, the End day of September, in full
uniform, and had been wearing their
uniform for week before the meeting.
On referring to the files of tho 1NTELL1.
GENcER, we find that in orlr issue of
August 31st, which went to press on the
afternoon of August Both, it was an
nounced that the Pendleton Company
had adopted the red shirt as a uniform
for the campaign. There can be no mis-
take about the dates, and Anderson is
certainly ahead, although it is quite
coincidence that Mr.. Tillman should
have adopted the same idea about the
sarae time.

HORSE STOLEN.

On the lst day of April, a man pre-
tending TO be machinist, hired horss
from Mr.. T. J. Leak, to go into the coun-
try, and failed to return. When last
heard Of, he crossed the Savannah River
at Andersonville to the Georgia side and
was at Hartwell.
The man had on a grey suit, had a
sandy moustache, sallow face, was about
5 feet 10 inches high, and about S5 years
old.
The horse was light bay, with small
star in the forehead, about .l4a hands
high, and was 7 or 8 years old. His tail
had been chewed off by mules.
A reward of twenty-five dollars will be
given for the delivery of the horse, and
fifty dollars for the horse and man.
We hope that Gov. Hampton will also
offer reward for this thief, AMI that he
may be brought to punishment for his
bold crime.

Redmoud Proposes to Surrender to
the State Authorities.

We are reliably informed that Lewis
r. Redmond, who has 30 recently be-
come notorious throughout the length
and breadth Of the United States, ex-
presses q desire to accept the terms
imposed upon his followers by Judge
Mackey, and give his bond and security,
if necessary, to keep the peace and
obey the laws in the future. As to
the killing of Duckworth, he says that
thst offense was committed in North
Carolina, and he is willing to take his
chances in that State, as he is satiafied
that with fair trial, he would be &C.
Quilted, for the killing was done in self
defense; that Duckworth drew his pistol
on him, and had no warrant for hin ar
rest, or at least he would not show it.
As to the shooting of Barton and Hen
dricks in. this State last ye,rr, he says
that he would not have done so if they
and party had not robbed him when they
arrested him. he says that if they had
only taken his horses, wagon and
whiskey he would not have resiiIted,
but would have quietly submitted and
gone along with the officials. But
when they tied and robbed him Of his
overcoat, dresscoat, boots, hat and
money, il was too much for hlnarl ma
ture to bear, and he at once determined
to defend himself and resent the insults
heaped upon him. This way the begin
ming of his troubles in this State, and
had the revenue officials treated him as 8
human being, he would not have resisted
them. AS to the State laws he says he
never intended to violate them, that he
was not in any sense connected with the
release of prisoners from the Jail al this
place, and that if he has violated any
State law he is willing to give his bond
and security to keep the peace and be-
come u loyal and law-abiding citizen in
the future.
We desire it distinctly understood that
we are no apologist for Redmond Or any
other violator Of the law, but simply and
briefly give his own statement of his side
of the case. But we will say here that
we believe there is much Truth in what
he says, and that if he is permitted to
come in under the same conditions as
those required of his followers, he will
faithfully and honestly abide the laws
and keep the peace in the future.-PicE-

MCGOWAN FOR LIEUTENANT-Goy
EREoR.-We have been informed that
Colonel Sirnpson will not be candidate
for reelection to the Office of Lieutenant
Governor. We regret this. So efficient
an officer, so honorable, patriotic and
wise statesman should be kept in the
public service. But in lieu of the va
oancy thus to be made, we nominate our
distinguished fellow citizen, General Nc.
Gowan. Abbeville has had no represen-
tation on the State ticket, though it is
conceded everywhere that she has as
many able men within her border as
any county in the State, and foremost in
the ranks OF these is General MCGOWAN.
In company with Hampton he has be-
gun che campaign. Let them together
lead us on TO a victory in the fall greater
in number Of votes than that of 1876.
The ball is in motion to that end, and we
urge its onward course, with these two
men as leaders.-Mnefy-Sir Guardian.

the project does not contemplate exclud-
ing young ladies from any section of the

be for all the pupils to pay their OWL

HAYES TITLE TO TEIE PRESIDENCY.

Hon. Montgomery Blair, of the Mary.
land General Assembly, has secured
the passage of his resolutions in
structing the Attorney General Of Ma
ryland to take such proceedings in the
Courts of the United States as may be
necessary to give force and effect to the
electoral vote of Maryland in the last
Presidential election, or in other words
to test Mr.. Hayes title to the Presidency.
In order for hearing of the case to be
had by the Supreme Court, it will be
necessary for Congress to pass an act au-
thorizing the prosecution of the case.
Judge Blair has gone to Washington, and
is confident of the passage Of such legis.
lation as may be necessary to bring the
matter into the courts, and secure fair
and thorough investigation of the whole
election. The temptation to MIR. Hayes
to veto any such bill would be very great,
but he could not afford to do so, and if he
did, Congress would undoubtedly pass it
over his veto, for such step would show
conscious guilt on his part.
The battle will be for the passage Of
the Law, and if it is effected, then the
prospect of unsesting Mr. Hayes will be
8 very fair one. In our opinion, every
Congressman should vote for this law.
1t is righ. and proper that judicial de-
cision of this rexed question should be
had to put it forever at rest. No man
can afford by his vote to block the only
avenue to truth, for if Mr.. Hayes was
Justly elected the country is entitled to
know it, and if he was not elected, then
ove.y friend of republican government
will agree in the opinion that Mr.. Tilden
ought to have the ONCE. We cannot as
q people afford to allow the result of the
ballot box to be defeated by the rascali-
ties of political bummen. We cannot
afford to make the voice of the people
subject to veto by politicafparty, or by
the infamous tools of party tyrant.
We want, in the language of Governor
Hampton, a government of ''free ballots
and free men," and it will be impossible
10 sustain such government if the
highest Office in the nation is to be OBJ
tanned by political theft, committed by
means of false and forged returns. The
country feels that Mr.. Hayes is a frand
that he was not elected, and that he
knows 1t. The people believe that their
votes have been set aside, and We agree
with Judge Blair in Wishing to see
the subject judicially tested. If it
should be tested, then the result will GER
tainly be beneficial, for it will deter
@ repetition of the crime by showing that
the Courts have power to examine and
correct such frauds, If it should sustain
Mr.. Hayes, it would put at rest the
charges against him and satisfy the coun-
try. If it should oust Mr.. Hayes, it
would be the grandest triumph ever won
in the cause of human rights and of re-
publican government.

aged. We regret that any of our Oranges
found it inconTenient to be represented.
The 5th degree was conferred on large
number of candidates, among whom were
several ladies. We rejoice to see a grow
ing interest on the part of the ladies in
The Grange movement, which we think
may be set down as an unerring indica-
ton of its final SUCCESS. To the females
of our country the effect of true Grange
principles will bear favorable comparison
with the elevating influences of the civ
ilization of heathen community upon
woman. A resolution was presented and
discussed proposing to hold two conven-
tions of SUBJ Oranges during the next
summer, one in the northern and the
other in the southern portion Of the
County. The proposition was generally
regarded with favor, and finally adopted.
The Associate Oranges having invited
the Convention to meet with them at
Harper Grange, on the 4th Saturday in
July next, was accepted and adopted.
The time for the other Convention can
be appointed at our regular meeting in
July, and will probably be fixed for
sometime in August, with some Grange
in the lower part of the County. If
these meetings should prove successful,
it is contemplated to continue the plan
by holding similar meetings in the eastern
and western portions of the County dur
ing the next year. This scheme may
not prove sufficiently encouraging to be
kept up from year to year, but we cannot
well conceive how it could fail to be en-
inently instructive, socially beneficial,
practically cooperative, and intelligibly
illustrative OF the great principles in
volved in the objects of the Order.

We publish in another column an
article from the Ninety.Six Guardian,
which states that it has received informa-
ton that Colonel Simpson will not be a
candidate for reelection to the Office of
Lieutenant Governor, and nominating
General MCGOWAN for that place. If the
Guardians information is to the effect
that Colonel Simpson is not candidate
for the Office referred to, or seeker of
any Office, as generally understood, he is
correct. But we speak by authority,
when we say that Colonel Simpson has
subject; that he is now, as heretofore,

Governor Hampton does, when he de-
clares he is not candidate for Governor

The Ns,rs and Courier has reduced its
rates for the present campaign, as will
be seen from its prospectus published
elsewhere. AS a newspaper there is no
more complete Journal in the South. Its
editorial, news and local departments
are presided over by experienced and
able Journalists, who have made the rep

greater, than any paper that was ever
published in South Carolina. Neither
