By Last Night's Mail. Hampton Denial. The New York Herald of January 12 contains fehe outline of the letter we referred to on our editorial page, relative to Hampton and Titden, and gives Governor Hampton's denial. The correspondent of the Herald at Columbia called upon the Governor, and reports him as saying: "The writer has fallen into many and grave errors. I had uo agency Whatever in Judge Mackey's visit to Ohio, and he bore no proposition nor even message from me. Mackey says so himself. The writer, too, misrep resents one of ray speeches. A pro position was made to withdraw our electors, and the Democratic Execu tive Committee know that I took strong ground against it. A subse quent proposition was made on the same subject, and I declined this positively. Judge Cooke, a Repub lican, spoke for Tilden and voted for him. Judge Mackey spoke with me at but two places, and he will doubt less say how he voted in the Presi dential election. Whether the can vass was a mistake or not is not for me to say, but I do say that I sup ported Tilden thoroughly and hearti ly throughout. i The Democratic electors can speak to this point, and especially can General Samuel Mc Gowan, one ol tie Tilden electors at large, who is referred to, and who, I hope, will auswer for himself." This justi6es fully our confidence in the high character and scrupulous honor of Governor Hampton, and the great doubt we felt as to the au thor's statements. The Legislature. Raleigh Observer's report condensed. SENATE. Friday, January 12. MrTTroy, from the committee on Penal Institutions, to whom was re ferred a resolution (introduced by Moore colored, of New Hanover) charging that complaint had been made that convicts had been rauti latedfey shooting them down and afterwards by shooting them three or four times, and that other convicts had been compelled to witness the same, and that said convicts have not been supplied with sufficient fire and blankets to keep them1 warm, and in structing the committee on Penal In stitutions to inquire into the facts. REP&RT OF COMMITTEE. The committee on Penal Institu tions, to whom this resolution was referred, have considered the same and are of the opinion that it should not pass, as there is no evidence to sustain the allegation that any pri soner had been shot down and then shot three or four times after he was down and other prisoners bing re quired to witness the same, and as to tire and blankets the committee are satisfied that the convicts are comfor able, so much so that an old woman who had visited her son in the peni tentiary went home so well pleased with the accommodations that she waB going to try to get the old man ami Jim in there.

Au Unsuccessful Attempt to Pass a Forced order. Last night, about 8 o'clock, a young co- : ored man entered the store of Mr. A. Da vid, on Market street, and stated that he had sold a lot of wood to the Gas Company, tor the proceeds oi which he had an or der, but had failed to find Mr. Jones, the Treasurer of the company, who was not in his office; that he wished to buy some clothing, and if he (Mr. David) would take the order he could get it cashed Monday morning. Mr. David said if the order was All right be would let aim have the clothing and give bim the remainder of the order in cash, Which proposition was, of course, re ceived with due gratification by the fellow, who forthwith proceeded to select the arti cles of clothing he wished, amounting in value to about $40. In the meantime. however, Mravid had sent one of his clerks to Mr. Jones' office to see if the or der was correct, and during his absence the young man suddenly took his depart ure, informing Mr. David as he did so that he would be back in a few moments. The Clerk shortly after returned, accompanied by Mr. Jones, who had taken the precau tion to faring a policeman with him, but "the bird had flown." Mr. Jones said that the company had purchased no wood of the fellow, and that the order was a for- loerv. The holder of it gave his name as William Hill, and it read as follows: Wilmington, N: C, Jan. 13th, 1877.

He drank very freely of the article, the weather peing extremely cold, and on his way back be stopped at a Mr. Pittman's, where he is reported to have drank eight glasses of ci der. He then mounted the mule and started for home. Late the same afternoon the tnule was discovered in Mr. Meadows' yard, with two or three bottles of whiskey tied to the bow of the saddle, but without any rider.
