WAsHINGToN.-One of the nobest char
acteristics of the father of his country was,
in his boyhood, when he had ommitted an
offense which was likely to bring the in
Fiction of the severest punishment, he could
not tell lie. Srieye to say that there are
reputable grocers and merchants who will
assure you that any other starch is as good
as the Duryea's. The awards of the great
Centennial at Philadelphia have settled that
question, and they have proclaimed that as
against the starches of the world, there is
none equal to that manufactured by the
Duryea's. They took the great medal at
the Worlds Exhibition, and they pro
nOunced their starch the best in the world
All respectable grocers keep it. Ask for

void of efficacy which have from time to
time been pulled into IA brief notoriety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cela-

proof that the American public continues
TO repose its confidence in deserving art-
cles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip

other diseases Of the breathing organs. 1t
is, moreover, a certain, speedy. and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis

accommodating evidence of an unimpeacha-

For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages,

Redmoud Proposes to Surrender TO
the State Authorities.

We are reliably informed that Lewis
4. Redmond, who has SO recently be.
come notorious throughout tho length
and breadth of the United States, ex-
PTesses q desire &c accept tho ioFniD
imposed upon his followers by Judge
Mackey, and give his bond and aecurity,
If necessary, TO keep the peace and
obey the lava Ia the future. AS to
the killing of Duckworth, he says chat
that otfense was committed in North
Carolina, aud he is willing to take his
chances In that State, as he is Satisfied
that with fair trial, he would be ac-
quilted, for the killing was done In self
defense that Duckworth drew his pistol
on him, and had no warrant for his ar
rest, or at least he would not show it.
AS TO the shooting of Barton and Hen
dFicks in this State last year, he saws
thet he would not have done 30 il thew
and party had not robbed him when they
arrested him. He says that if they had
only taken his horses, wagon and
whi0key he would not have resisted,
but wonld have quietly submitted and
gono along with the officials. But
when they tied and rpbhed hin os lis
overcoat, dresscoat, boots, hat and
money, it was too much for human ma
turC - bear, and he at once determined
to defend himself and resent The ipsulto
heaped upon him. This was the begin
ming of his troubles In this State, and
had the revenue officials treated him as
human being, he would not have resisted
them. AS to the State laws he says he
never intended 70 violate them, that he
vas not n any sense connected with the
release uf prisoners from the iail Mt this
place, end that If he has violated any
SAate law he 10 willing to give his bond
and security to keep the peace and be.
come loyal and iAw.abiding citizen in
the future.
We desire it distinctly understood that
We are no apologiat for Redmond or any
other violator of the lew, 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
como in under the same conditions OF
those required of his followers, ho will
faithfully and honestly abide the laws
and keep the peace In the future.--Pick.

WARRINGTON, April l

WASHINGTON, April /.
Ex-Represenative L. Ceas Carpenter,
of South Carolina, who was in prison
for over three months, convicted OF pre
senting fraudulent claims for printing
and adveGtising against the State, ar.
rived hare on Thursday, having been par
doned by Governor Hampton, He says
there ia no protection for Republicans In
South Carolina, and thst If the oolcred
Representative Smslls, Senator Patterson
or Ex-Governor Chamberlain eyer 20 to
thaS State egain they will certainly be
sent to the penitentiary. He says Pat
terson Is still under eight indictments,
mostly for bribery, and that If Smalls
does not return and stand his trial he
must forfeit his ten thousand dollar bond.
he thinks Senator Butlc. has been Of no
service TO Patterson, and that Butler and
Hampton are not as friendly as formerly,
sea ehe:.e :se Better Vii Tl0s 20 aniu 10
help Patterson in tho future. He does not
think Patterson will ever return to South
Carolina. According to Carpenter,
Senatop Patterson still adheres to Butler,
and Gags he will vote for BRtler as against
the claims Of Corhin to aeet in the
Senate. Carpenter says that every Jury
man who convicted him offered to ih-
doFse his application for pardon, and
thastwo 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 hia friends to do so for him.

REFUSING TO ASSIGN CoUNsEL.-
Judge Hudson peremptorily declines TO
assign counsel TO defend persons charged
with crime of lesa 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 happy effect in
checking crime in the future. Hereto.
fore, petty crimes have been committed
almost with impunity, tho perpetrators
being assured in advance, by the reput..
tion of Sheriff Glenn rs q dieter, that
they would be we'll fed and cared for,
and when the time for trial arrived, able
counsel would be assigned them, and
they would stand, in q reasonable degree,
@ chance of acquittal. Such will not be
the case hereafter. Nor is the rule ap-
piled to coiored prisoners alone. In the
case Of tho State against MillUood, n
white man, who was without counsel, the
Judge plainly announced that it was nc:
in the province of the court to assign
counsel j; that he had no more authority
10 direct lawyer TO defend him than to
command 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 YorkUiWe Enquirer.

THE RED sHIRTS.

The Charleston Journal Of Commerce
Of recent date cont,ins communica-
ton from Aiken claiming that the Hon.
q. u. gilman was u 4, frat man in South
Caroline to suggest the red shirt uniform,
which became such fayorite 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 correspon-
dent gives as the date -pon which the
uniform was first worn tho first Tuesday
IN September, which vas the fifth day of
the month, and fixes the occasion as the
night Of the Democratic torch light pro-
cession in Aiken.
This statement l. incorrect, 90 far as
1t designates Hon. G. D. Tillman as the
first to suggest and the Currytown Sabre
Club as the frat to wear the red shirt, as
hos already been clearly shown by the
Columbia Register. We now refer to it
to concur W. Il the Register in testifying
to the fact chat the Pendleton Company,
now commanded by Capt. J. G. strib-
ling, b;i: during tho 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-
lay, the End day Of September, in full
cuiiorm, and had been wearing their
uniform for week before the meeting.
On referring to the files of the INrELLi.
GENCER, we find that in our issue OF
August 31st, which went to press on the
afternoon of August 3Oth, it was an
nounced that the Pendleton Company
had adopted the red rhirt as a uniform
for the campaign. There can be no mis-
take about the dates, and Anderson ia
certainly ahead, although it is quite q
coincidence that Mr.. Tillman should
have adopted the came idea about the
same time.

- 1t is foregone conclusion, says the

State ticket being renominated as they
were selected 10 lead what many thought

paign they bore the brunt of the battle
and came out victorious, and we are sor-
ry to see that thoughtless persona OF
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 10 urged by some, ia no CEN
didate for reelection. The /. .rre. &c.
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 80
ably fills. AS q patriot, en- intellectual
! gentleman and pure Christian. he Is the
equal of any and inferior to no one in
the State-and to fail to keep L:.n where
he is would verify tho old adage about
the people-"that they cry hozannah to
man to-day and cruelty him to-mor-
| row."

interest. The chime was originally i'm
ported from England into the province
of South Carolina in 1853. They were
seized in the city Of Charleston ia ITO
and sent TO England, where they were
bought by an English merchant. In

Columbia, all the bells were cracked by
the heat, and were again sent to England
to be recast at the same foundry at which
they were originally made. In February,

frens M. 7. J. Leak, 70 go into fhe coun-
try, aud failed 10 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
candy moustache, ssllow face, was about
8 feet 10 inches high, and about IS years
old.
The horse was light bay, with small
star in the forehead, about 149 hands
high, and was 7 or 8 years old. His tail
had Teen 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, and that he
may be brought to punishment for his
bold crime.
