proposes to run Republican ticket
headed by George Y. Tybout, of New

Congress. The Ne1cs thinks Mr.. Williams
a man of so much patriotism that the

good hand, perhaps; but should the Dem

for Governor and Chas. B. Lore, of New
Castle, for Congress, the gentlemen who
received the most votes in the recent
convention, the Democratic ticket would
leave New Castle county with "A majority

y STRANGE LEGISLATIVE SCENE.-A
Columbus, Ohio, dispatch to the New

late chairman of the military committee
of the Ohio House, on Saturday appear
ed in his seat for the first timein ten days,
and rose TO a question of privilege. For
some time proof has been accumulating
that he was IA deserter, a bounty-iumper
and an eX-convict of the Michigan State
prison. He said he had struggled for ten
years to elevate himself to position and
and make himself worthy of the esteem
of honest men, but all his efforts had gone
nought, and an attempt was now being
made to drive him into the gutter He
denied the right of the house to investi-
gate his history previous to becoming "A
citizen of the United States. If such in
vestigation should prove that his con-
duct in the past had not been proper, it
could not do no one any good, and would
crush him forever. He threw himself on
the generosity ofthe House, trusting that
in their magnanimity they would not fur

body and poor in purse. AT the close of his
speech he sank pale and trembling in his
chair and tears rolled down his face He

and can accomplish comparatively llCCie Iol
his constituents in his first term. The rules
of the House are complex in the extreme. II
needs thorough familiarity with the ins and
outs of legislation to give any measure a fail
chance. In so large body it takes time fol
the members to know each other. Oftentimes
little personal expostulaton will accom-
plish what speeches do not reach. Congress
men Evins and Aiken have done their whole
duty, and have done it we'll. If reelected
they will have additional power to benefit
their constituents and the country. To dis
place them, when no faults or shortcomings
are alleged, is to change for the sake oi
change and to waste the whole of one Con
gressional term, by putting in their place
gentlemen who will have to learn what our
present members have already mastered, the
alphabet of legislation.
The Penitentiary Imbroglio.
- 1t has been source of regret to all ad'
mirers of the Hampton Government that
even the charge of dereliction should be pre-
ferred against any prominent State official
Such charges it seems, however, have been
brought against Col. Parmele, Superintendent
of the Penitentiary. That tine public might
be fully advised as to the merits of this con-
troversy, we have published in full all that
has been said on both sides. In addition to
what may be seen on the first page of this
issue, relative to the subject, we print the fol-
lowing special dispatches to the Nes0s and
Courier, which confirm the belief originally
entertained, that the charges against Col.
Parmele were induced more by personal feel
ing than any acts of omission or commission
by him as public official.
The correspondent of the Ne,os and Courier
telegraphs from Columbia, under date Of June
26th:
The board of directors of the South Car
olina Penitentiary has been in session at the
Governors Office all day. The principal
business was to hear the charges preferred by
the chairman of the board, Col. Thompson
Earle, against Col. Parmele, the superinten-
dent. The charges were not sustained. A
motion was made to remove Col. Parmele
and was defeated.
I have authority. which deem reliable,
for saying that the Governor politely but
firmly Informed the board that in attempting
to remove Parmele they were exceeding the
powers delegated to them. The board meets

THE STATE OFFICERS.

1t seems that thus far Aiken, Barnwell,
Chester, Chesterfield, Fairfield, Lancaster,
Pickens, Spartanburg and York counties
have declared, through their county conven-
tions, in favor of renominating the entire
State ticket. Except as to the expression of
the will of the people-and that expression
may, in most cases, be regarded as mere CON-
pliment-we are at loss to see the Importance
attaching to such expression. 1t surely can
not be on account of the transcendent genius
or special qualifications Of the worthy gen.
tlernen composing the interesting coterie.
But if they are to be complimented with a
denomination, we insist that they be "set
up again." or that the pack be "shufled,
so as to make new distribution Of the rela.
tive Offices, changing the position of some Of
them to duties more becoming their qualifica.
tions. For instance, Adjutant General E.
w. Noise, a gentleman of ability and &C.
complishments, is deserving of more i'm
portant position than the nominal office to
which he was elected. He would make a
good Comptroller General, or State lreasu'
rer, or Secretary of State, while a good Comp
troller General, State Treasurer, or Secretary
of State would certainly not be spoilt if eth
er of the present incumbents should be swap
ped off as suggested. To the Attorney Gen.
eral, Leroy F. Youmans, Esq, no objection
can be urged. He is fine lawyer and &C.
complished gentleman, and as we'll qualified
for the position as any man in the State. AS
to the other oficials-of course excepting
Lieutenant Governor Simpson-almost any
township in the State can furnish an equal
number of men fully as competent to dis
charge the duties of the Offices. Certainly,
should any of them decline denomination,
there would be no difficulty in supplying their
places-a fact which the county conventions
evidently lose sight of, in recommending the
entire State ticket for denomination.
