COLUMBIA, S. C. Tue? lay Morning, Ootobor 12,1874. About Indictments, We observe tbat L. Oaes Carpenter, editor of the Union, and foreman o! the grand jnry for It:oh 1 und County, in a speeob delivered in Nmvberry, lutt Friday, said tbat "four of the lending ...hoMers were under indictment, and some of them probably would bo be .-fore the campaign olosed." We should bo obliged to Mr. Carpenter if be ? would tell us who they are, and how many leading persons on the side he advocate*, are under charges of felony . and other similar crimes, and if be t will esaay to approximate the number of how many more ought to bo. By the way, wo observe this pitiful restfU reported as tho labors and researches of tbo Riohland grand jury, namely, true bills returned as follows: ''Jamos Owens, Wm. Avery, Henry Bothel, Hilliard Owens, E i Davis, Polly Gylee, grand larceny; W. G. Davis, forgory; John B. Harriugton, murder; Molly Gary, bigamy." Is that all tho graud inquest can do? None of theso por sons were ever heard uf before. But why go so fiercely after poor obscure and friendless people, and leave the rioh, powerful and unscrupulous ras? cals alone? Is tbat the way for a grand jury to behave? Fie, do, on tho grand jury of Riohland County 1 Iiis it exhausted it* in Jans of discovery of the knaves who h?va obtained placu and position by bribery and fraud? We again demand of the grand jury of which Li. Oass Carpenter ia foretnin, that it honestly enter upon its appro? priate work, and make faithful inqui? sition into the crimes aud offoneus in the midst of whiah thoy staud, uud knowledge and information concern? ing which they can get on all band? Jor the uakiug. I'al t WHU Grain* oC Allowance. "k..^Jt would be well for all who regard justice to suspend their judgment ol the proceedings said to have token place in Sumter, last Saturday, until an authuntio account is given by those competent to know, aud faithful to re? port what may have occurred. The statements of the Onion-Herald, are evidently colored for a purpjse. They . are improbable in themselvos, and we must remember that that sheet is fresh from its exploit of saying that the Con? servative Convention adopted "the ? platform of the Republican party of South Carolina," the reading of which elicited the remark from a gentleman in the gallery that "now, indeed, ia Christ risen from the dead." A paper - that can do Ihnt ia capable of making any statement that party exigencies may reqiire. Besides, we observe in all this oloud of epithets and denun? ciations of the people of Sumter for denying free speech to the Ridical speakers, the important admission made that the "Greene men aent a committee to wait upon Mr. Chamber? lain" to invite him to speak, wbicb he decline.!. It is somewhat amusing, too, to notice the new zeal in favor of or? derly meetings, aud the free expression of opinion on the part of those whose Executive Committee sent out a "oon .fideutial circular" directing its follow? ers to assemble in full forco to control the action of primary meetings aud vote down all propositions lookiug to participation in auy movement whioh might be organized against ring go? vernment and ring aoutrol. * m ??? A 8t?-p Forward. The Republicans of Riohland have split into "fractious," and County politics are very muoh mixed. Both Nash und Minort adhure to Chamber? lain. Iu that respect tliey stand on equul grouud. But the wily Nush baa advanced a atop further, und added to his ticket some names from the Con? servative rauks. It is understood that theso gentlom<M), iu accepting tlio nomination for the repootive positions, do not muko auy politioal pledges at all, but ruru.iiu free to uot us iudepond ently now a* before they were so nomi? nated. John T. Slotiu, Jr., who bus received the nomination for the Le? gislature, is popular with all oluh.-es, and poasosscu the full confidence of the Conservatives. We should be pleased to sou him in the Legislature. <-??-?-? .Today, West Virginia elects Con? gressmen and a Legislature. Upon tbo latter depouda the Uuited Stuti n ; Sjuator. Ohio elects all exo.ipt Co vernor. No Souator is involvod. In? diana elects nil except Governor, with United States Sonator involved. Ne? braska has a full eleotion, with United States Senator involved. Iowa baa a full oleotiou, exoept for Governor und Sonator. Dakota Territory elects a delegate. Arkansas votes on tho now Constitution. These eleotions involve forty-six members of Congress and three Untied States Suoutors. 1 William?' Abase or Power and tlte Prealdeni's Acqutetccno?.

Some Morns Echoes of Northern Opinion.?The Spriugfield Republican looks with favoring eye upon the can? didature of Gieouo uud Dcluny. It says: "If it really means 'unity, fair-deal? ing aud peace' between the two races, theu its success will obviously bo mat? ter for national rejoicing, aud its de? feat matter for national regret. For in those three words, unity, fair-deal? ing, peace, is found the solution of thu Southern 'problem'?u problem that is begiuuiug to weigh very heavily upon ail ihoilgutfu! munis. Whether Judge Greene is elected or defeated, his can? didature it certain to do good in mote way < than one. It cannot well tail to make a new aud larger breach in tbe wall of partition that has hitbetto di? vided the two races iu South Carolin* us in other Southern Status.

Meetiugs aro to be bold ut every preoiuot and township. A Letter from Senator T. C. Dann. To the Editor of the Daily Union' Herald ?ism: I notice in your paper of tint) inorniug certain tdutuments of Sir ELanly B demon aud Mr. Cardoso, State Treasurer, which you say "fixes tbo scheme of re opening tbe Bettlt mcut oT the public debt upou me." I say they fix nothing of the kiud. Mr Soiomou's statemout refers to a conversation, of wbiuh he cauuot re? call the particulars, but he says the purport was I hol I wus iu favor of taking up the con ver-ion bouds, and thut the credit of the State would m?t bi restored uu'it this was done. Hih statement is only a matter of memory uod construction *>F woids, which could liuve bad uo such niuuuiug n> ho now attempts lo pi.tee upon Hieiu, nod L ui <y well alT-rd lo pa-^s it wttboul futtuer comment Hut Mr. CarJozVn statement is of another u bit ranter. Ii is not a mutter memory aud con? struction of language, bin a mattet of fact, of which, fortunately, there t.-. a wntt-u roeord, and about wbieh, ihurc fore, there e.iu be no ruotu for mistake. Mr. (Jirdi /, > htat \s that tbe irrcgu larities iu the issilH of o riaiu b iiidsof which I complained Wviro Ibetn-: "that :hrt bonds reicrtel to weio authorized lO be sold withiUolwunty-four tnoulhs after the p isstigu of tin; Aims, mid dial bo di-oovered that the parlies to whom tbo lnuids wore liypo! hi:0,U<:d sold them after tho expiratiou of twenty-four months, notwithstanding tbe hyj olhe cation took place before ti.nl period, aud ttiu State li id received tire aioney authorized to bo raised tiiereou." Now, every person at ull familiar with the matter will perceive that the whole ij'icstiou us to tbe irregularities tu the ui ttter of those b >uds lies iu the questiou of fuct, whether they we ri? nsed by the officers or agent of the rftuto wtthiu or beyond the time limited by law. Mr. Uardozo bays ex ! pltcitly the liypotlit-ealion tunk place before tbat period, il Mr. UardozVa at item jut is correct, th? houds wem used le^u.ly. liutilr. Cardozu's state lueut is not correct, and he knew it was not correct wln-u be made it. In tho report which ho says 1 mad.: to hiia, I used those word.-: "Of ib ol,813,3)U bonds which were under hypothecation in X iVeaiber, 1372, ?1,201,000 were pteOgcd by tiie-ilnuii ulul ageut Bllbicquciit to the ttiue when tin; uuthoilty to so pledge theui had ceased, according to the terms of the several Act? creating them, and uImi subsequent to the time w hen the full aiuiiuut of money authorized to be borrowed on nuid bonds liaJ be? u <j'j tamed;" uud iu concluding my report uouueriilUg tue bonds iu question, I used these further words: "do that tbo dual use of tbeso bouds was doubly illegal?first, because of tho expiration of the time within which they were nu aut horized to be used; und, secondly, ht c wise tho full amount of mouoy au? thorized by law to be raised for tho Statu bad boon already exceeded." Atjain, Mr. (Jurdozo suys thut I re? ported to him "that I discovered that tbe parties to whom the bouds were hypothecated sold them after the ex? piration of the tweuty-four mouths," his purpose being to show that I was asserting tbo illegality of the bouds on the ground tbat they wore sold alter the time limiting their use. The fact is, 1 merely reported that a part of the bonds pledged at tho date of tbe set tleuieht with The tinuueial agent, "hid been sold out under hypothecation." 1 did not report that they bad been soid "atler the expi.atiou of the tw-uiy-foor mouths," us Mr. Cardogo alleges, nor would it have been perti? nent for me to have done so. They uad been hypothecated after the expi? ration of the twenty four mouths, und, therefore, hypothecated in violation of law. T'iio time of their sale, or whe? ther they were sold or not, was a mat? ter ?d h > moment. They had been used by the Slate oflijers or ageut ou'. of lav, lull lino. It will bd perceived from these q i >? tutioijs from the reporl which Mr. Cardozosays E made to bin] tint he represents mo falsely. That be knew tie was representing me falsely must be eviduut from tue fact, which be concedes, that my report w.n iu ide to liltu, and that he know what it con? tained. B it I have something more to say on this point : Mr. Oardozo auy a ex? plicitly that "tho hypothecation took place before that period," thit is, be? t?re the expiration of tbo time limited for tbu use of the bonds i-.su.>d under I be Acts of August 26, l?uS, aud Febru? ary 17. 1861), which would have bei u fc'obiuary and August, 1370. Now, in the statement of bonds under hypo tbeoation, which I handed to Mr Uir iloZo with my report, aud which wan really a part of it, shows tbut ?591.000 of these b inds were hypothecated to Morton, 1$ isi .V Uo., July 1,1872. nearly two years utter the legal time for Hiiuil use of them had pa-s?d; that $178,000 of tbeiu were hypothecated to E. K. Wllllird, March 23. 1871, se? veral in.mtlis niter the legal Inno for such illj hid pisie.l; thut ?170,000 ?>; them were hypothecated to Isaac 11. Kuox, April I, 1S72. nearly two yuurs alter the legal tune for such hypothe? cation had passed; that ?170,000 ot these bonds were hypothecated lo the Dry Dock S iviugs Institution, Septem? ber 21. 1871, ov t a year alter the legal tune for such use had p iss< d; that ?51.000 of llies-' luiids ?Tore piudgu-l to the (term in U,i-iown S iviugs U ink, April 30, 1372, a year and a I. <lf after tbu legal tune for using tbeiu but ex? pired; and that $31,000 of these bonds were pledged to the Uoinmeroiul Ware? house Company, September 10, 1872. two years alter their legal existence bad ended. It will bo seen from this rufereuou to the statement of bouds under hypothe? cation, which I bunded to Mr (Jurdozo with my roport, that all tho bonds iu question were hypothecated after the expiration of the time limited by the Acts, and nojt "before that period," as falsely alleged by Mr. Cardozo. So mach for that portion of Mr. Oardozo's statement, which can be de? termined by written record. As to the remainder of his statement, which aonsists of a report of a conversation which bo alleges to have been held with me, and in which he says I told bim I wishod the execution of the Funding Act delayed until I could get tho conversion bouds uud tho Blue Ilidgo scrip included iu the settlomeut, [ havo to say that no Mich conversation ever took placo betweeu him and my? self, uud that his statement as to what ho says I told him iu that conversation, is as false as I huvo tdiowu thu rest of his statement to bo.
