Cass Carpenter was placed on trial last Monday for defrauding the State out of several thousand dollars by means of altering claims for priming. The jury on Tuesday brought in a verdict of gui'ty. bo that Cardo?o and Smalls have another companion in their adversity and the Vest of the patriots are anxiously asking whose turn will come next? fn viow nf the nnnroaehinir disclosures of the corrupt means used by Senator Patterson in procuring his election to the seat in the U. S. Senate it is interestiug to refer to the following extract from remarks by Senator Morton on the admission of Mr. Pinchback. We subjoin the extract froui the Congressional Record of March 16 1875, oo which day Mr. Morton said: ''If he procured his election by fraud, if he bought those men, hired them to vote for him, procured them in some fraudulent way to vote for hiiu, then the Senate could take ooguizancc of it and turn him out." It would be interesting were Senator Mtfrton alive to sec how he would yote on a motion to expel ''Honest John " While Mr. J. (jr. Thompson was Editor <of the Beaufort Republican as a member of the Tax Payers Convention it tell to his lot to approach Mr. Cardozo then State Treasuraf for the purpose of examining the vouchers upou which he had paid the enormous sum of $331,000 for printing in 1873. To him Cardoxo gave 4th is answer "I have no right to permit any one to iuspect my vouchers, except those who are legally authorized to do 0Ot" whereupon Thompson prophesied as follows: "Very well. The day is not 90 far distant as you may suppose when they will be legally inspected. If you are wise you will have ere that time fathered ay your "makes" and will have flitted, with other buzzards, in the direction of the congenial shades of the Howard University. Should you remain, accompanied by a select band cf \ similar ''statesmen" you will be consign ed to a still more appropriate and retired spot, where editors may cease from troubling and convicts are at work." ( > > THB STATE SENATE. The vacancy occasioned by the resig- , nation of Samtny Green should be filled , by an election ordered at an early day, in order that our county may bo represented iu the upper house at the ( session which is rapidly approaching. . We imagine there can be no doubt that ] Wm. Elliott Esq. who was the candidate < of the Democracy during the campaign , of last year, will be again placed in nom- , ination and this * time elected without ? ^opposition. Wo look back with pleasure , to the fact elicited at the trial of the , Election Commissioners in Charleston iu < 1871 that we had shown our preference, , in that time of gloom when such a -vote < was hopeless, by placing Mr. Elliott's t name as candidate for State Senator on ( the Carpenter and Butler ballot. Our ] nominee is so favorably known in this < neighborhood that we feel assured he < will receive strong support from among ( the late Republicans as well as the ei.- ( thusiastic endorsement of the Democracy. < Robert Snails Convicted. The case of Robert Smalls was taken ^ up on Thursday morning last. Tho j motion ot his couusel to remove the case ' to the United States Court was argued ail ( day but Judge Townsend overruled it. j The trial began on Friday morning and a ju s jy was empanelled composed of six whites aod six colored. * After Judge Townsend , bad delivered a written opinion refusing the motion to remove the case to the ^ United States Court, Woodruff, clerk of the Senate, testified that he paid Smalls . five thousand dollars to secure the pas- j sage of an appropriation for the Reput- t Jican Printing Company. He gave a ^ check on Hardy Solomon's Rank, which ^ check was produced and identified by Woodruff, whose evidence on this poiiJ . was corroborated by Zcaly, cashier of the bank, who paid the chock and made the deposit of the money to Smalls' credit it ^ the same time. Mr. Meltoo took many ^ exceptions and fought his hardest fx> ^ break down the testimony which was so ^ direct as to leave no room to doubt the prisoners guilt. Saturday morningjto the surpriso of all, the counsel for Siualls said that they had concluded to rest the case without even putting the aoeu>ed on the stand. 1 Judge Carpenter addressed the jury in a ^ strong argument claiming the evidence did not make out a case, that the bribery lad not been proven and that Woodruff's I ^ unsupported testimony was not sufficient tiTeonviet The Attorney Genera land Mr. P Youuiaoa followed on behalf of the 1 prosecution and Mr. Melton for the prisoner which occupied the entire day and V after a short charge from the Judge the jury retired and court adjourned. Sunday T morning at five o'clock the jury sent for " the Judge and on his arrival informed him they were ready with a verdict, and N when it was announced our Congressman 1 vas convicted. It is reported that the p jury stood 11 tol for conviction when al they first went out and before morning c' the twelfth man became of the sauie ^ opinion as the others. ai Col C. S. McCall was elected Stale w Senator last week from Marlboro County w without opposition, there being i:o other in candidate in the field. i al Forfeited Lands. The following bill was introduced in the ; Senate on the 19th ult. by Mr. \\ itlicrs ! and there is good reason to believe it will pass both houses. It is the same bill j ' " I ? I that passed the Senate a year aim uu? was newr reported on in tlic House.' There is nothing objectionable in this I hill as it is optional with the former owners to take tlie money or i.ot, and many purchasers who would like to get their money back will have the opportunity it the former owners decline to i accept the offer of the government. "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, empowered and directed, out of any money not otherwise appropriated by law, to pay whomsoever shall be satisfactorily shown to him to be the owner or owners of any land sold for direct taxes under the provisions of the act entitled "An act for collection of direct taxes in the insurrectionary districts within the United States, and for other purposes," approved June seventh, eighteen hundred and sixty-two or to the heirs, assigns, or legal representatives of such owner or owners, without interest, the amount of the proceeds of sale of any such land for direct taxes due to the United States under such act, or where the land was struck off to the United States at the tax sale, the proceeds of any subsqucnt sales by the United States of said land, and rents received thereupon, subject to proper charges for care of, and improvements thereupon, less all taxes, costs,and legal charges accrued by reason of the sale thereof by the United States : Provided, Th.?r sneh owner or owners. their heirs. assigns, or legal representatives, as the case may be, shall, before such pay.nent 1 duly execute aud deliver a full and com- ? plete quit-claim conveyance of said prop I erty, and a release of all mesne rent and profits thereof, to the United States or to the purchaser or purchasers thereof at said tax sale, their heirs* assigns, or legal ; representatives, as the said Secretary i may require. fn case the owner or owners of the j land at and prior to such tax sale, or par I ties having a valid lien upon or interest in the same, or any one or more of such panies or owners, are incapacitated, by reason of infancy insanity, or other legal disability', from complying with the provisions of this act, so as to give to the , said purchaser or purchasers a convey- { ance of their interests in said land, or in case such former owner or parties, or any , oue of them, shall refuse to avail them- j selves or himself of the privileges con- j ferred and such facts shall be shown to ( the satisfaction of the Secretary of the , TrMsnrv in nftsn it &hn!1 nlsn hp I i shown to his satisfaction that the tax < commissioners under the said laws, in ] executing their provisions, made it an | invariable role and practice not to receive | the taxes after the forfeiture imposed by , said laws and before the sale, unless the t same were tendered by the owner of said . land in prop.r person, then the Secretary j of the Treasury shall, out of any money ( not otherwise appropriated by law, pay < to the purchaser or purchasers at said r sales, his or their heirs or assigns or legal ( representatives, the amount of the J proceeds of said tax sales, less all taxes ! josts, and charges under the said laws, x without interest: Provided, That said ( purchaser or purchasers, their heirs, g tssigns, or legal representatives, as the v jiise may be, shall first execute, acknow- g ledge, and deliver to the former owner or r iwners, their heirs or assigns, a quit claim s conveyance of said property, which c conveyance shall take effect and give to a .he former owner or owners, their heir.- c >r assigns, an immediate right of posses- r >ion to said property, upon the receipt a if the said money by said purchaser or j purchasers, or their heirs, assigns, or egal representatives: Provided, also, n rhat the provisions of this act shall not t tpply to property purchased by the 0 Lmited States except as herein expressly v stated. v ,4^, Oor Quarantine Regulations. 0 c As die time approaches, Mr. Editor, v or the assembling of the Legislature, it h teems to us that the attention of the t Members, (those, at least, representing t Seaul'ort County,) should be called to d he utter inefficiency of the present n Quarantine Act. Even up to 1875 it v vas complained of as throwing upon <he n >ilots that responsibility which ought ? o rest on the Health Officer. The pilot c vas required to use all diligence to as- a ?rtain whether there'was sickness on ti >oard; and whether the vessel spoken, s rnd sailed from an infected port &c., h >ut he was given no authority to demand he "Log Book," to search the vessel, a >r to administer an oath to any one J m board. The pilots were thus virtu- tl lly made Deputy Health Officers; but w nthout any authority to discharge sj roperly the duties appertaining to so o esponsiblc a position. In 1875 the Act g| bove referred to,?defective as it was,? p ras so amended as to render it utterly if rorthless for the protection ofour people, w Ve have, time and again, heard our tc resent Health Officer protest against rc he inefficiency of the law. si The Act of 1868 enumerates, first, the ai essel which shall be quarantined, and m he length of quarantine; secondly, the tl essels which shall be subjected to exam 0t iation, without unnecessary detention. m this second class are included, all tr cssels, "from any place m America, in le ordinary passage from which, they ass South of. Jliltoin Head." By the A lucndment of 1ST5-6 thi3 clause is strick i out. together with all port'ons of the cc .ct of 1808 which conflict with this w< aiendmcnt. th Now, while the Doctors are discussing, yo ithout any prospect of determining, gr hethcr the late epidemic was imported 1 on to l*ort Koval, or originated there; we at' * 3 * 1 know that it r,vrj potsFJy hrve hen . in, inti'0<htc<<l from Fernandina% by one of their Steamship*. We urge, theicforc, . upon our immediate Representatives, the importance of having the above clause! restored; and of requiring pilots to bring vessels to anchor, for examination, with i out any exercise of discretion on their part, as to whether such vessels have sickness on board or not; or whether the ports from which they sail arc to be deemed "infected'' or not. , We fear that too much indulgence is \ allowed to steam-vessels. After cnumcr- j ating, in the first clause, all the vessels : liable to quarantine, the Act proceeds to i say, secondly, "All vessels from any' place,?including islands,?in Asia, Af- \ rica or the Mediterranean, or from any of the West Indies, Bahama, Bermuda or Western Islands, [ or from any place in America in the ordinary passage from which, they pass South of Hilton Head.] (The clause iu brackets is stricken out by the aiucndiug enactment of 75?G.) shall, on arrival at the quarantine ground, be subject to visitation by the health officers, but shall not be detained beyond the time requisite for due examination and observation, unless they shall have had on board, during the voyage, some case of iufectious, contagious or pestilential disease," &c. Thirdly, "AH vessels embraced in the foregoing provisions, which are navigated by steam, shall be subject onlv to such length of Quarantine and - regulations as the Health Officer shall enjoin, unless" &c. It is not yet suffi. ciently established, that steam-vessels arc less liable to transport the infection then sailing vessels; though such is the presumption. The law ought also to make the captain responsible, when there is no pilot on board. Vessels frequently cross our bar without pilots, which they can safely do; and those coming through Skull Creek have never need of one. It has been said that the so-called amendment, exempting vessels from visitation, which sailed from American ports, was procured at the solicitation of Borne of the people of Port Royal. | Whether this be so or not, the calamity i fast subsiding warns us to ask for further ] protection in behalf of the Pkople. < The Export Trade. Mr. Joseph Campbell, of New York; ! Mr. D. C. Wilson, President of the Port Royal Railroad, and Mr. R. P. Rundle, ( igent of the Port Royal Steamship Com* puny, have been sweats at the Gait ' House, Louisville, Ky. A Courier Jour . in I representative saw them, and. upon inqniry as to their presence in Louisville. f learned that tho object of tbeir visit is to sonfer with merchants and milroad man- ? lgements upon the durability and fcasa- j bility of directing the export trade of the Southwest to and through a Southern f port on the Atlantic coa*t. Up to the present time this trade has been rnonopolizcd by competing lines leading in c ' lorthensteriv direction, and terminating i _ it the Northern ports of Baltitno?e, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. The :imc appears to be propitious for the es- c ablishment of a similar trade within ? Sonthern borders, and the system of rail y oads leading to the scacoast having now ? )pened the magnificent deep-water har- 0 >or of Port Royal; there is nothing re- t naining but their co-operation and harnonious action to secure and control this rade. Everything combines to lend as- 0 lurance of success. A country teeming h vit h the wealth of the soil, a population t! econd to none in the development of agicultural and manufacturing industries, ind a system of railroads as economically instructed and intelligently managed as iny north of the Ohio river, certainly ontribute every promise of success if di* ^ ected with one consent to the elaboration rod prosecution of such a home enter>risc. r< Port Royal harbor is situated about tl nidway between Savannah and Charles- T on, and has a depth of water on the bar h >f twenty -five feet at mean low tide, u rith a rise of about eight feet at high E rater. The entrance is easy at all times f tide, and vessels drawing twenty feet an arrive at and depart from the docks f1 rith safety in all weather. Deep water 11 tarbors have become a necessity since he exclusive adoption in the European 11 rade of screw propellers instead of p*d- f le steamers, the former drawing much )[ aore water than the latter, hence the ad- s antage of Port Royal as a shipping point 11 aust be manifest to every one. The rharves of the Port Royal Railroad are onstructcd to deliver cargo direct to and longside the largest ships. Their posiion is perfectly land locked, and where in hipping can lie safely and securely in the of eaviest gales. Louisville is distant from Port Royal bout 753 miles, against 961 miles from at few York. The design is to ooone<t {? his South and Southwestern territory rith Europe by means of the 1 rstem of railroads as at present in th pe rat ion and a first class line of steam jjj hips, also already established and pre- } ared to make a terminus at Port Royal en r> satisfactory agreement can be made bo ith the railroads. There is nothing new > be provided; no new capital to be sob- hi ;ribed; no railroads to be built or steam pr lips to be constructed. All the facilities [rj :e in active existence, and all that is *}J ?eded if the combination and consent of ie various managements in a harmoni- & is agreement whereby these agencies ( ay be adapted and applied. Then direct ( ade will be a fact in place of a theory. ? *? j Hoovers S. C. Nov. 13 1877. ?ei fr. Editor: W Pardon 111c for trespassing upon the (lumns of your paper, in saying a few jrds in favor of the military spirit, at has recently sprung up among the uug men of our county. In my pcrc- jnJ iuatious, I dropped in at this place i last Saturday; and my attention was her tractcd by a group of young ladies, go- s'( z out in the direction of what is known as I ;hc parade ground, of Prince Williams Troop; aud through curiosity, (having beard that it was a fine company) my iteps were made in that direction. To my utter and agreeable surprise, I saw irhat I have not had the pleasure of pritnessing since "the ante helium tiroes"-a well mounted company-the "Guardians ot Liberty," composed of the yeomanry, of the country, in a gracefully manocurvcing under the command jf their efficient officers. Imagine for a moment, the motives which prompted "Sergeant Jas|>er to plant the colonial standard upon the walls of Fort Moultry"! Think of the patriotism, of "our Gallant little General who feasted upon roasted potatoes, and his tabic being "the bark of the giant forest" "Ilia only 11 nr*. i 1 reward was liDertv. >v mi pricie we look upon the heroic deeds of men of later days. Yes some who are our uotemponiTies. At this point of my pleasant revery, I was interrupted, by ?call for the young Major Geo. H. Hoover, who put in his appearance, and made some "telling remarks " showing the social influence of these organizations is well as the necessity convincing many of the superiority of the mounted militia af Volunteers, using the Bunker Hill militia as an illustration. After three rounds of applause for the Major, my attention was drawn to a prize -a very pretty saddle, which Capt Browning had furnished, to test the skill of the members in the second cxcrjise. Some magnificieut riding was done, several contestants taking six "heads and rings" 1 Mr. J. Cal Mathews having taken seven, won the prize. On the presentation of the saddle, Dapt Browning made a few appropriate remarks, complimenting his company for their skill in horsemanship, and word exercise. Private Mathews replied expressing his thanks, and high lpprcciation of the valuable prize. After :his, three cheers were offered for the presence of the ladies. From all that I jaw, this Regiment is destined to occupy the position it did in "the goal old lays of yore." Concrete building has almost entirely iuperseded wooden houses at Cedar Kcj's. The concrete is made of one part >f lime and sand each, and three parts of ihella, and while in a state of mortar, poured into the box casing. The cost of K>nerete walls is-about equal to that of Kicks at $5 per thousand, or about nine >cnts per foot. The tux upon dogs in such of tic 'ountics in Virginia as have adopted it las prqved so successful, both in tlic way if revenue and as a protection for sheep, hat one of the Richmond papers advocates the enactment of a State dog tax ai uiost efficient means of raising funds to preserve thcSfato's solvency arid-lift in r iut of debt^ Adjutant General Moisc, during t! e ampaign last fall, promised from tl e tump that if elected he would give a car's salary to the public schools.
