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.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
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

FOR THE HERALD.
Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
- Nov. 13, 1877.
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

To Editors Newberry ierald, New

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. We
know we owe our quick recovery to
the Pectoral, and shall not hesitate to
recommend it to all who need such a
medicine.--Tehuacana ( Texas) Pres
