Carpenter Guilty of Forgery. The ,udge's Charge-A Motion for New Trial Denied-An Appeal for Mercy in Behalf of the Prisoner Affecting Scene in Court. The Judge in his charge to the jury said that forgery was either the making or altering an instrument with a view to do an injury to an other. If you find that the defendant either altered or uttered this altered paper, you must find him guilty. The State must establish his guilt by cred ible and competent testimony. There are two questions for you. One is, whether the forgery was com taitted by any one ; the other is, if it was committed, whether the defendant did it. In this case, it appears that the clerks of the two houses had authority to certify to such accounts as this. It appears that they did cer tify to such accounts as this. It ap pears that they did certify to this pa per. You are to inquire whether it waz altered after they did so. You are permitted to inspect the paper and decide from that inspection whether it was altered or .not. Woodruff tes tifies that when he signed it the fig ure 1 did not appear in it. Jones also says that, to the best of his recol lection, that figure was not there. In this case, these parties are not accom plices. Mr. Cochran thought that the figure 1 had been prefixed to the others. Mr. Cochran is not an ex pert. Mr. Roach and Mr. Sawyer expressed the same opinion, and they did testify as experts. Here the Judge defined the meaning of the term "expert." Then it appears that the paper was in the possession of de fendant, and that he carried it to the State Treasury and was paid on it. The State -also produces his receipt. The State also says that that much money was not then due to him. In considering circumstantial evidence, the jury must group all the circum stances together, and if they all point indubitably to .one conclusion, then you should find that conclusion. These circumstances ought to be con sistent with each other, and if they do not exclude any other rational con clusion than the guilt of the prisoner, you should not find him guilty on cir cumstantial evidence. If defendant either altered or uttered this altered paper, then he is guilty. If he de livered it to the State Treasurer with the knowledge that it .was forged, that is an uttering. If the State has con vinced you that he had committed other forgeries, that is a circumstance to show his knowledge that this one was forged. The State alleges that there never was due to defendant $15,000 on this work. You heard the testimony on that point. The defendant denies the alteration of this paper. His counsel says that its being certified to by the clerks was a circumstance going to corroborate him. He also says that the State owed him a large amount of money, and that he was without motive to alter the account. It is also said that it might have been altered by some body else since it passed out of de fendant's possession. In reply to that, the State produces the receipts to show that it was $1,720 when it was paid. The State also says that the fact that defendant has been guilty of ~other frauds on the State should af feet his credibility. The State has also contradicted him by the witness INeagle, as to Neagle's instructions to disecontinue the publication of the acts. If after considering all this testi mony you are convinced that defen dant either altered or uttered this pa per knowing it to be forged, you must find him .guilty. *If you are not con vinced of it beyond a reasonable doubt, you must find him innocent. The Judge then admonished the jury not to consider anything except the testimony in this case, and to dis miss especially all political considera tions or consideration of race or color. The foreman asked the court if they were to consider the accounts for No vemiber and December or would the Judge instruct them on it. The Judge asked counsel whether he should instruct them on it. Mr. Ab ney said he thought that might well be left to the jury. Judge Carpenter said nothing. The Judge then told the jury that would be left to them. Judge Carpenter said the Judge had nmisapprehended a part of his ar gument. He had not said the forgery might have been committed by some body else, but only that the paper might have been made to assume its present appearance by lying in the State House ; and also that the Judge had stated the testimony of Woodruff a little stronger than the witness had wade it. The Judge here read fr$ma the Register report, which verified his statement of Woodruff's testi mony. The Judge asked what papers should go into the jury room. Counsel for defendant, Judge Car penter, answered all that had becn ad mitted in the case. But after a few moments Judge Carpenter objected to two accounts wich had been in troduced and admitted to show that defendant had duplicated the accounts in 1874. These the court ruled should go into the jury room. The jury then retired, and in a short time returned with a verdict of guilty. Defendant's counsel moved for a new trial, which was denied Judge Carpenter then plead with the court for mercy towards his client, and made an eloquent appeal in his behalf. The prisoner wept audibly when the verdict was rendered, and seemed much affected at the result, which was unexpected to him and his counsel. n-srvdl poplar We mean Dr| THOS. F. GRENEKER, EDITORS. W.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. 'For Terms, see first page. The State Fair. The Fair opened Tuesday, the 13th, with a very good attendance, considering it was the first day. The articles on exhibition far ex ceeded in nuniber, variety and char acter anything ever seen in Colum bia before. Tuesday the people came pouring in by every railroad from every section of the State, filling the hotels and boarding houses to overflowing ; so that by Wednesday matters began to look quite lively. The ordinary pro ceedings of the day were varied by speeches from Hon. H. P. Kimball and Gov. Z. B. Vance. Mr. Kim ball, a member of the Winnebago County Agricultural Society, Illi nois, (the Society that invited Gov. Hampton to address them last fall,) made a good address which was well received. Gov. Vance made one of his characteristic speeches, full of good sense and interspersed with his inimitable sallies of wit and humor. Thursday was the great day, for that was the day fixed for the mili tary contests. Gen. Bamberg com manded the troops ; the judges were Lieutenants Bumford and Baldwin, of the 18th U. S. Infantry, and Lieutenant Adams, Fifth Artil lel j. The competing companies were the Richiland Rifles, of Colum bia, Clark Light Infantry, of Augus ta, Ga., the Walker Guards, of Rich mond, Va., the Goveinor's Guards, of Columbia. The Governor's Guards .took both premiums-for the drill open to the State and that open to the United States. The premium for the best drilled company in the State, out of Char leston and Columbia, was won by a company from Abbeville County. The Ball given by the South Carolina Club at the State House, Thursda.y night, was a brilliant af-' fair. The Fair was a complete success, and has given a fresh spirit of en terprise to the whole State. Conviction of Carpenter. The best fruit of the labors of the Investigating Committee was the bringing to trial of this arch villain, and the verdict of the jury rendered on last Thursday, which convicted him of forgery, metes out to him a just doom. We do not, cannot rejoice in his dovenfall, but we would have experienced a large disappointment had the re slt been otherwise. L. Cass Car penter was one of the vilest of the crew of robber rascals who pilfered the State, for while with his hand deep down to his very arm-pits in the public treasury he vilified and traduced the people as no one of the others did or had the low tal ent to do. He deserves the worst, as he dealt out the worst that was in him. Freight Discriminations. Last week we gave an example from the Columbia Regi.ster on this subject. As stated there, the freight on cotton from Newberry to Colum bia has recently been advanced from 81.25 a bale to $2.25; but if cotton is shipped through Columbia to Char leson the shipper gets a rebatement of the extra dollar. This is a piece of extortion that calls for loud con demnation-a measure to force the people of the up-country to trade with Charleston, whether they want to or not. The Legislature will be compelled to take the matter of railroads under consideration, and relieve the people of the State from such unjust discriminations. The Philadelphia Times says: Patterson's troubles seem to be about equal no matter whether he hides behind his senatorial chair or g-oes to South Carolina to face a jury. If he appeals to the Senate he will be ejected for corruptly purchasing his election, and then South Carolina would bag him at once. If he accepts a trial in South Carolina he will take the short cut to a prison and the Senate would then declare his seat vacant. As a.~ I..~... a ?... Li. ~. .a. J.L~ More Resignations. F. A.

Senator Blaine's absence from the city prevented his taking part in a discussion of much interest in the Senate on yesterday. The appointment of Hon. John L. Stevens, of Maine, as Minister to Sweden and Nor way, was before the Senate for action, and friends of the gentleman now occupying the position opposed the confirmation of Ste vens. There was not a political contest, but there might readily have been one brought on. The appointment of Stevens is supposed to have been made at the sug gestion of Senator Blaine, and he could very properly have taken yesterday's oppor tunity to express his ideas, if he has any, on the subject of appointments to office, reform in the civil service, &c. Senator Hamlin ihates the Administration, but as there was an office depending on the Senate's action, he could not help endorsing what the Administration had done. If there was a light-house keeper or a tide-water vacan cy in the country, this venerable old Senator would forget all the principles, policies, enmities, or loves of a life time, in order to get a Maine Republican into the place. What the small politicians of Maine will do when Hamlin dies passes the understanding. The effect on Mr. Hayes of Saturday's Repblican Senatorial caucus is unofficially given as follows: Hayes, while refusing to commit himself on the subject of appoint ments, evinces a disposition to be guided somewhat by the views of Senators in rela tion to all appointments yet to be made. This is not in terms the complete surrender which some anticipated, but that will come if the Senate sticks together. Convictions of such men as Cardozo and Smalls in South Carolina do not seem to me to meet the necessities of the case. The men are guilty, undoubtedly, and ought to be pnnished, but there are others as guilty as they and more dangerous to society from their greater prominence. To punish the small thief and let the greater thief go free is to invite contempt for the law and its officers. If Patterson and Chamberlain cannot be reached, I earnestly hope that the "white trash" and ignorant negroes who have been or may be convicted will be par doned by Governor Hampton. The army, so far as the House can do it, has been fixed at twenty thousand men, for the year ending June 30, 1878. At the regular session I expect to see an honest effort made to reduce the force to 15,000. The Mexican muddle received undeserved notice in the Army Appropriation bill, and every scoundrel and speculator who hopes for profit out of war is happy. If these people who really suffei from Mexican out rages could have their wrongs righte'd by stationing an army on the Rio Grande, or by the* war that is almost sure to follow, there n'ould be excuse for the action of the House on yesterday in providing that four regiments of cavalry should be sent to Texas. But every one who cares to know the facts knows that those who are most earnest in promoting disturbances on the border, and in urging the Government to violent measures, are men who have no sympathy with our citizens or with Mexi cans, but simply desire to make what money the- can from war. I~n a bate letter, speaking of the enormous indebtedness of this District, I said that it was incurred by appointees of Grant and not by the people themselves. This is true. One of our city papers, however, considers the statement a reflection upon the integrity of "Boss" Shepherd. I did not intend to say that Shepherd or any of his associates pr~ofited dishonestly by the expenditure. The money was recklessly spent and brough t no good to the District which in any rea ~ ~1p~rpe eorr~snonds with the amount The Escaped Convicts. GREENWOOD, S. C., Nov. 10th, 1877. To Editors Newberry ierald, New berry C. H., S. C.: Sius-I notice extract from your paper in Charleston .News and Cou rier in reference to some escaped cou victs from Greenwood and Augusta R. R.., at large in your county. Please inform the party that you think would take an interest in capturing the same, that the railroad authority here will give a reward of fifteen dollars each for their capture and delivery in New berry jail. Should they succeed in capturing all or a part, notify A. M. Aiken, Secretary of the Company, at .Greenwood, of the fact and we will send immediately for them. We used every precaution to capture them after their escape ; pursued them into New berry County, bnt failed to capture them. Made it known to parties in the neighborhood of Chappell's Depot, where we supposed they were, that we would give $15.00 reward each for bheir capture. Very respectfully, THOS. F. RILEY, Director G. & A. R. R. We were exposed last week to a pitiless storm, that wet our feet and stockings, and indeed our person all over. In fact we took a cracking cold, which brought sore throat and severe symptoms of fever. The good wife asserted her authority, plunged our feet in hot water, wrapped us in hot blankets, and sent our faithful son for a bottle of AYER'S CHERRY PEC TORAL. It is a splendid medicine pleasant to take, and did the job. We slept soundly through the night and awoke well the next morning.
