That he is held lu high esteem by the-1 national government is shown by Lhe coniplb munt to this Stale. (\ The wur department at Washington, which put up u large sum of money for the maintenance of the militia of this Slate, last yeur^informed the ad jutant genera) that numerous militia companies of the State were not up to the standard und could not share lu tho distribution of the fund. Tho adjutant generul u)j?{aingly recom mended that such companies be mus tered out by tile Kovejflnr. This was impolitic, to say thclfcttat. Hut Gen. Moore was. merely performing un un pleasant duty. A large controversy| ensued. The service was hurt. Some txeellunt officers in?VI ltlt the service,| 'more or'less in disgust. At tho national guurd meeting In Columbia last week it Is,said that Gen.

I II Li Ii SOLL HL1TGE ( orrespoatfeal .Speak* fur Conf?d?rale Infirm?t >. W. IL Ldwurds in The State. While in Columbia a few days agu i heard some talk of the proposition te abolish the Confederat?- infirmary and give to the old soldiers who are Inmates of the institution an annual pension of $100 each. Quite a number of these o'd men have do place In tbl? world they can call home. Thin Id StitUtlOO ?us cnlublibiicd io luke iiicNC homeless old men out of the county poor home* nil over South Carolina, J If there are graft and mismanagement of the affairs of the institution the blame lies at the door of the general assembly. The mistake the legisla ture made was in giving the governor oi the state control of of the instl tulion. The gencrul assembly should* have assumed the authority and the responsibility of electing the dlrec* tors or the institution and held those, directors responsible for its conduct. If this had been done the institution would have been contacted decently and economically and all the cry of graft and scandal would have never been heard. It would be sad and pa thetic to punish these homeless old men because the general assembly made this mistake and send them bock to the county poorhouscs. for there is where many of them will end. Giv ing the governor the appointing powe to turn out "my enemies." and reward "my friends" is what caused all the trouble in the soldiers' , home and brought it into bad odor with the (copie. Given the same character of government mid every state institu tion in South Carolina, well God only knows -what there condition would be. A one-man power is a dangerous power. Especially is this true when it is the publicly declared policy of the man to "reward my friends". In stead of ubollshinrw/the soldiers' home, the general assembly ought to reor ganize and control it. Suppose each one of these old men were given $100 a year. Could he live on It? If so, how? Give an old mun 75 or SO yearH old $200 with no home aud he could not live on it. Private families do not want them and public boarding houses would demand extravagant prices to take care of them. An old man with no wife, no home, no enti re n to care for him, thre is no place except the county poor house for him, if the soldiers' home is abolished. The general asppmhig cars, if they v/il!, reorganize the institution and control It. and they owe it to the people of South Carolina to do it aud do without further, delay. robe ^.gbelx vTlle.
