THE ADVERTISER.
Edgefield, S. C., Dec. Itt-, 1872.
"rom the County Jail io the U. S. Sen
ate Chamber*
Last week we announced that Mr. J.
[, Patterson, therirh Pennsylvavla car
>et-bagger of C?lnmbia, liad been elect
id to the Senate from South Carolina,
eating, in the race; the Ohio carpet-bag
jer, Scott, and the Massachusetts carpet
agger, Elliott. And tfiath? was.snb
icquen fly arrested upon a charge of bri
bery, and cast into jail. This week we
jublish a detailed account of the whole
matter, from the Columbia correspon
ience ol' the Charleston Courier.
But Mr. Patterson remained in jail on
ly a few moments, and goes, thence to the.
Senats of the United States, where he
will sit among many not one whit better
than he is.
Mr. Patterson had money enough to
pay for his seat, and he wiU have money
enough to cover np. his dirty tracks.
And his Radical friends will share his
good luok, And his Radical enemies,
despite their threats, will be pretty apt
to let him alone. And the Senate will
receive him with open arms. And in a
year or two, Sumner or some other senti
mental Northern statesman, will make a
notion " to expunge the r?cordr"
The New Judge of Our Circuit. ,
As regards the new Judge, wo cannot
do better than endorse the following gen
erous and sensible words of the Colum
bia Carolinian of Saturday last. Oar
friend Youmans, is universally admired
and esteemed in Edgefield ; and it would
have given Edgefield prido and pleasure
to welcome him as presiding officer of
her Courts. But as Mr. Youmans. is
young and eminently progressive, we
consider this pleasure only deferred for
a few years :
The ejection for Judge of the Fifth
Circuit came off yesterday and resulted
in selection of ex-Judge R. B. Carpen
ter. Our first preference was for Mn
Youmans. He was put forward by. the
bar ; was warmly endorsed by the Cir
cuit; isa gentleman'of eminent'legal
attainments, of the highest character, and I
had attracted our support before Judge
Carpenter's name was suggested as a can
di dat e. The election has not ended as
we desired, but there is nothing to grieve
for and no censures to bo made. .
Judge Carpenter will be highly accept
able to the Circuit. He received the
h ighest encomiums, of the Charleston Bar
at a Judge two years ago. Of his capac
ity uo one can doubt, and he ia known -
to be fearless and prompt in the discharge
of his official duties. It hns been said
by those who have practiced in hiM court
that thero is no man except, perhaps,
Chief Justice Chase, who can equal him
iii tho dispatch of business and' sound
extempore judicial opinions. There was
no money used in the election. A capa
ble officer has been chosen, and there is
nothing to carp at,
It ls said by some wiseacres, that the
election of Judge Carpenter looks to the
validation ol the Blue Ridge Revenue
Bond Scrip. Wo are unable to see any
reasonable apprehension of such a catas
trophe. Tho scrip business aa we be
lieve, and have frequently declared, was
a fraud in its incipiency. Should the
Scrip be legalized, thc State would suffer
a considerable loss, but the administra
tion would also be greatly crippled.
Thereon we bose our faith that ft will
never be made good. The State Govern
ment wllj peyer be readily Inclined to
receive Royehpe Bond Scrip for taxes,
worth at'pi'ost (Jp or TU cents on the dol
lar, when they can got greenbacks or gold
instead. }f those in power are paid
eqbagb for it. perhaps "they plight be
iipjqcfid to favor something of tho kind.
Such bas bec?1 tye custom of the coun
try for several years past, but we cannot
sue how ;t hi practicable in this instance.
Lei us Expuuge uo Such Record.
Senator Sumner makes a motion in
Congress to strike from tho flags aud
Army Register of the United States all
records of battles fought with fellow
citizens. Senator Sumner undoubtedly
means well. And the North can afford
to do this thing, but the South cannot.
The North, with her huge power during
tho war, her huge wealth, her huge
i armies of foreigners-and with her Re
construction Acts since the war, and her
Enforcement Acts, aud her Carpot-Bag
business-eau afford to expunge the
record. She was not and has not been
magnanimous, and it were better for her
to blot out the record.
But the splendid heroism and devotion
of tho South in con-tending five years
against such fearAil odds, is a tale wo

annual meeting in Charleston on Wed

Sunday last. The fire broke out ab?st

The fire originated in Nail's store, arid
its origin is unknown, but it is supposed
to have been the worlc. of an incendiary.
The Georgia Homo Insurance Compa

"Picket," the Columbia Corresp'on
dent of the Charleston News, in his face
tious account of the late ?Senatorial con
test, says :
Patterson was elected by receiving
ninety votes ont of the 124 cast, and it
not probable that his election cost him or
his friends more than forty thousand
dollars.
Elliott received thirty-three votes, and
four of them wero cast by white men
Mr. Poinier received seven votes, and
not one of the patriots who voted for.him
was promised any higher reward than
the coUectorsbij of Charleston. Chief
Justice Moses, who was not a candidate
received an honest expression of prefer
ence irom eight Conservative members
Judge Graham's name furnished a con
venient compromise for fonr more, and
there were foundeight men who thought
that the present incumbent, Senator P.
A. Sawyer* deserved a re-election,
have, however, almost forgotten to men
tion the complimentary vote for ex*Gov,

desired the election, not from any hank
ering after senatorial honors, but simply
as "avindication of his administration h
and he got " vindicated" to the extent

was made for him continually, but until

The Washington correspondent of the 1
Augusta Constitu?ional?st, say?:
"Tho imprisonment of tho newly- j
elected South Carolina Senator, Patter t
son, on charges of bribery, as ?bon as ho B
was elected, has developed the fact that t
he was the candidate ofeortain powerful j
Pennsylvania Interests, which, at will, i
controls Congress and State Legislatures. s
It cost $60,000 to accomplish the lob. It jj
seems that he is the victim nf misplaced v
confidence, as another candidato bad in- r
structed his delegates, mostly negroes, a
to take Patterson's money, give him \?
their notes, and then expose him ; hence \
his arrest; The Radical party should be j
proud of Ute success of their allies and ?
protegeB-the negroes-in tho gamo of a
politics. Their powers of imitation aro ^
really wonderful."
