This is the precious sample of honesty and
public decency from which emanate the
chargee that I have bribed the Legislature
—charges, my fellow-citiiens, which are not
made so much againatmc aa against yon,
the people, that those who are in power and
who own this infamous organ, which seeks
to control public sentiment, may keep tbea-
solves out of the penitentiary. (Prolonged
cheering.)
It has been said in the columns of that
paper that I bribed the legislature. Well,
Heaven knows, that was not much to do*
[Laughter ] And the charge is made by lie (
acting Lieutenant-Governor, the Codiie.' of
“the law, the City Attorney, the Pbo«[ uate
Attorney, the United States District ARw-
ney. If I have forgotten any of his titles 1
beg his pardon. And that he, the owner of
the honors aforesaid, actually del bribe a
judge of the State to render »uch a deciaion
as best would suit his interests What 1
that immaculate spec’— etl of mortality bribe
a judge! (Laughter.) Gentlemen, the con
fession rvily illustrates the weakness to which
these enemies of honesty and political decen
cy are reduced in order that they may forti
fy themselves in the offices they hold, an'*
thus be enabled to continue their deprcA-
tions upon the treasury of the State and the
purses of the poor. (Great applause.)
Up to the present time I have paid no at
tention whatever to these allegations and I
do not propose to do so in the futtre, be
cause they emanate from a source which it
would defile a man to handle; bo- here and
at all times I am prepared to answer any re
spectful question that may be ashed by an
honest fellow citisen. When theves aud pub
lic robbers interrogate roe, Iplead to the ju
risdiction. [Applause.] It vould be a very
pleasant thing for thteves.no doubt, if they
could accuse a judge, or she their place on
a jury, or play the part of the solicitor; but
I have been taught to know that criminals
must stand in the docl, be arraigned, tried,
found guilty, and seit to the penitentiary
for punishment. iLs for this reason that I
plead to the jurisdition, and refuse to be
tried by those who lave assumed the lions
skin to hide their gnomiuious identity. I
repeat, therefore, nat if any gentleman wish
es to ask mo a»y question, I am here to
answer it frankl; and truthfully.

Judge Carpvnter. I aoi gla-1 r-m naveai-
forded me the-pportuuity of doing so. As
a shareholder I was interested in a plos-
f.hate compaiy, about which much has been
written; hut understand me. I did not sell

and ao'oc ntarruptiuns.]
I deslo those men immediately in front

keepo^lsr or be put out of this meeting, i

rtsnlts may be, I intend to speak and to be

so.”]
Let us for a moment examine the condition
of South Carolina when General Scott as
sumed the control of the State. A devasta
ting war had exhausted the resources of as
gallant a people as ever bore arms. For
throe years or more, they struggled hard to
obtain bread, with scarcely the means to
gather their crops, and fatality attending all
their exertions. Misfortune covered the
impoverished State like a pall. Under
thes* circumstances what did Governor Scott
do I Instead of economizing the resources
of the State so that its burdens should rest
but lightly upon the people, you will fiod by
tE.e report of his own Comptroller-general,
that, without any good reason whatever, he
added to the then existing public debt of the
State the enormous sum of eight millions of
dollars. Where, fellow-citizens, did the
money come from ? It came from the labor
ing classes. It came from you, every hour
of whose labor is divided between ibe sup
port you owe your families and the work you
unconsciously perform for the public. Eve

For I pledge you that if the people do their
duty, they will then speak in thunder-tones
in behalf of Retrenchment and reform: I
pledge you, that if we faithfully adhere to
our platform aud work as we ought to do.

And the man who, under these circumstan

stake, docs not enter with all his heart into
the contest for the right, does not deserve
the name of Carolinian. Sink your prejudi-
out of the State to save themseivea from get- ces as to candidates in a desire to further the

Judge Carpenter. I Was a soldier in war
and not a soldier in peace. [Great applause]
When the people of South Carolina were qp-
pressed by enormovs debt and taxation, to
take $50 000 for the purpose of organising
the militia, was an outrage upon the Sate.
There was no needofit for there wasnotiouble

The truth is, I imagine his Exc.-Hency is a
great deal more fond of talking about Win

I honor the poor laboring man who works

you, my countrymen, that Christianity is

play at that game. (Renewed cheering.)
Nor shall they win the election by stuffing
the ballot-box when the voting is done.

the people to its support.

eminent and oppressive misrule.
The Chairman then announced that a tele
gram had been received daring the meeting
from Gen. M. C. Butler, and that ho was
detained at home by illness. This absence
is a cause of deep regret to General Butler ;
a regret which, the chairman knew, would be
felt by the citizens of Cearleston, whe
admired and respected that chivalrous sol

On the 19th day of April lost, the Dc-
fend^ots, Jonathan Wright, F. A. Thomas
and Jackson A. Str.-rb. comprising the Boaru
son or a relative, resident in New York, of
Samuel Marco, the evidence being uncertain
as to the matter. Of the zeven bids in the
name of Samuel Marco, all bear bis genuine
signature, except one, for $17, 990.50, which
proved to be the successful bid. Two papers
were shown for this bid, ono. signature and
body, iu the bandwriting of Phiiip[Lucnthal,
clerk of S. Marco, and the other, signature
and body, in the handwriting of John G.
Gatlin, clerk of tbe Board. Both of theso
papers had endorsed, an original award by
the Commissioners aud were iu all respects
exact copies, the one of tbe other, except
the one iu the handwriting of Gatlin, the
date had been altered from the 2Sth to the
to the 16th of April. The Defendants claim
the former, and the Plaintiffs the latter, to
have been the original bid. I give a copy of
this bid, as I shall have frequent occasion to
refer to it.
