To the People of South Car
olina : On the 16th day of October
next, you will be called on to
elect tho various men who shall
fill the various offices in the State
Government ior the next official
term.
The condition of the affairs of
the State at this time causes the
gravest concern and most serious
anxiety in tho minds of all good
citizens. Taxation unprecedented
in amount in the history of this
State weighs upon the people.?
JNo roan but feels tho burden ; but
however and by whatever channels
the taxes reach the Treasury,
they corao finally, in great part,
from those who till the 6oil, in the
form oi reduced wages, and the
increased cost ot food, clothing
aud other necessary expenses ot a
comfortable existence. The hard
hand of toil largely pays tho expenses
of the State, though the
money may be deposited in the
Treasury by those who own tho
capital and the land. Let no man
flatter himself, therefore, that his
poverty renders this subject of
taxation one of indifference to
him.
Besides the vast 6nms which
have been drawn from the people
by direct taxation, our rulers havo
been heaping other burdens upon
us and our posterity, by enormous,
and in many cases fraudulent,
issues of bonds, the very interest
upon which is a sum so
large that it seems impossible to
pay it. Concealment of the real
state of our affairs has been practiced
to a criminal extent; report
after report, statement after statement,
Jhas been made by the finan
cial omcers ot the btate, making
false exhibits of onr public debtand
it was only when an outraged
public opinion demanded and
compelled an investigation, that,
our real situation was developed,
and was found to justify the worst
apprehensions which had been
felt.
The public mind is too familiar
with the tacts to require more to
be said concerning the bond
frauds; but it is worth while to
consider here the question, what
has become of the money so lavishly
poured into the Treasury ?
To what objects have we 6een it
appropriated by those who, under
the law, are appointed to disburse
it? Dave the rights of person
and property, which it is the special
function of good government
to guard, been secured ? Have
the children of the people been
furnished with the means of that
education which alone can fit
them worthily to perform mean
ties of citizenship# Have the humane
institutions in charge of the
Slate been cared for ? Ilave the
resources of the State been developed,
its industries fostered, its
present and future welwaro provided
for with reasonable prudence
?
The answers to these questions
are in the mouths of all the
people. We are ashamed to be
compelled to confess that the
State Government has failed to
protect the citizens, not only in
tho enjoyment of those rights and
privileges intended to be secured
by the provisions of the State and
National Constitutions, hut even
in 'hose more .limited rights
which no respectable civilized
Government on earth allows to be
violated in the persons of its subjects
; and it has been tho strong
arm of tho Federal Government
which has released thousands of
men, women and children fiom a
a.m/ih mitli ttt 1 >!/>11 ihov pah 1h na!
fail to l>c filled by count lees outrages
perpetrated upon their friends,
relatives and neighbors, by conspirators,
whose deeds the world
reads of with horror.
The public schools have been ;
crippled iti their work, and in
many cases closed, becauoe their i,
teachers applied in rata at the
State Treasury Tor the small salaries
justly due them end necessary
to their daily support.
.The inmates of the Lunatic
Asylum most have been turned
loose upon the community, but
for the humane efforts ot its
efficient Superintendent, who pieced
his private credit to ontain
food; nobody would sell on that
of this great State. The doors of
the penitentiary may be flong
wide open any day, to allow the
exist ot a Dana or convicts, whom
tbe warden cannot feed, because
there is no money in the State
Treasury to purchase food. The
judges of your courts have not
been paid their salaries for many
mouths, and are compelled, in
most cases, to borrow money to
supply the wants of themselves
and their families, and to be subjected
to the temptations too otten
placed by rich suitors before a
judiciary irregularly or inadequately
paid.
It would be easy to continue
at almost any length in enumerating
what has been left nndoue
which ought to have been done.?
It is easier to eay what has been
done which ought to have been
left undone. Jobs of every conceivable
description have been
uuutu inikvi!) tuo unci uois ui niu
State bave been constantly and
systematically set aside to enrich
those who scrupled at no kind of
bribery or corruption to secure
such legislation as the jobbers required.
Public money hoa been eqnan- '
dered for objects of no public (
moment. The expenses ot some <
branches of the Government have
been so enormously increased as
to astonish all who are not fainilliar
with the character of many
of those who fill important posi
tions in the State Government.
41 Pay certiOcates," drawn by
the Speaker of the House of Rep- |
resentatives, purporting to be for i
expenses of the late session, to the
amount ot over $1,000,000, have
already appeared at the Treasury
and been paid or exchanged for
the notes ot the Treasurer, and it
is estimated by those in a position
to judge wisely, that $250,000 in
44 pay certificates " is still afloat in
the community, to he presented
whenever there is any probability
ot their being allowed. This will
make the expenses of a single session
of the General Assembly
over ?1,250,000, or more than
4,000 per cent, of the aura which
was formerly considered sufficient
to pay there.
Enormous soma have been lavished
in petended support ot an
" armed force," which is notoriously
nonexistent.
The most corrupt practices
have obtained in the making of
contracts by State officials. The
contract with the Roberts and other
arms companies of New York,
under which there was drawn
from the State Treasury over
$200,000, while said arms company
received less than $90,000, is
a type of the manner iu which
the State Treasury has been depleted.
The public are familiar
with the enormous extent of the
bills for State printing. Formerly
this item of expense for a session
of the Legislature was not
one-fiftieth, certainly not one fortieth,
of what it has been daring
the year past. But to catalogue
the abuses existing in the executive
and legislative branches of
the State Government, would not
only weary our patience and sicken
your hearts, but one who
should attempt to characterize
them would beggar the English
language in looking for fit terms, j
Yon already know them in gross
You can hardly appeeiate their j
enormity in detail till you exam- ]
ine the facts and figures. We nl- ,
ludc to but a few of them as spec- (
imens of the kiod of expenses
that have brought the credit of .
South Carolina so low that there
is u none so poor to do it reverence,"
and which have made the
government of the State so odious '
to the people of the whole conn
try.
In this condition of affairs,
what is the duty of the Republican
party ? These wrongs are in ,
no way the results of the action
of its principles They arise from ,
.1 ' j L J \* i ?J
mo ^reea, ana 8ein8;.'"w>?, ??u cor- i
ruption of those who haf?? stolen j
the- garb of Repnblicanism to
cloak their evil deeds, and who ,
should be cast out of the compa- j
ny of honest Republicans and |
honest men, as having degradod j
their high calling.
Our plain duty points to this: f
our obvious interests demand ,
this ; the interests of the State de- ,
mand it; a decent regard for the ]
opinions of mankind demands it. ,
wo must put forward for official |
position those, and those only, <
who Are known as upright, true j
and unstained men, whose Rcpub- j
licauism Is aa undonbted as their ,
integrity and their capacity to j
perform the functions of the offi?? |
ces for which they are nominated, j
Within the lines of the Republican
party our work lies. There
are honest hearts and wise heads 1
enough in that party to do our i
work. Every good citizen, what |
ever his party affiliations may j
have been, owes it to himself to
work to purify and regenerate our \
State Government; but the work especially
belongs to us. We can* I
not abandon it to oar political adversaries,
until we have demonstrated
oar inability to do it onr*
selves.
With this necessity upon us;
in an emergency more exigent
than has existed in the history of
oar party in 8onth Carolina; with
the eyes of the National Republi
can partg upon as. and expecting
us to rise to the demands of the
occasion, like honest men, the
Convention now in session in this
oity lias placed in nomination, as
a candidate for Qovernor, the one
man whose ofitoi&I acts have
brought upon the State, and the
positions no nas neia, more ensgrace
than has attached to any
other offices of the State Government.
Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was the
person who, as Adjutant and Inspector-General,
made the con
tract with the Roberts Arms
Company. We do not know that
he received any part of the $114,000
which disappeared in its
transit from the office of the Financial
Agent of the State of
Sonth Carolina, in New 1 ork, to
the office of the Roberts Arms
Company ; but we do know that
it disappeared. The Financial
Agent'* books show that it. was
paid ; the arms comDanv's books
show that they did not receive it.
Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was the
Eerson who, as Speaker of the
louse of Representatives, flooded
the State with a shower of " pay
certificates," and swelled tire expenses
ot that House, tor a single
session, from $145,000, (the highest
possible figure to which they
could amount legitimately, and
this is based 011 most extravagant
calculations,) to quite, or over, a
million dollars. And this pal pa
ble violation of law, tbi6 direct
filching from the Treasury, is
neither denied by him nor his
friends, but is excused on the
grouud that he disposed of a large
amount of these certificates in tavor
of the poor people who fled
from the persecutions of the Ku
Klux Klan. Was candidate ever
before driven to straits like this ?
A false certificate, a fraudulent
and unlawful draft of public
money from the public Treasury
acknowledged, and the act defended
on the ground that the money
was disposed of in charity ! Yet
even this infamous excuse is
wanting, when we know that not
one per cent, of these unlawtully
issued, certificates was thus disposed
of, and when we daily observe
the style of living this candidate
holds?a style befitting a proflirvQto
r??ill I.-Vi. nl nn. I

an honest man, with the legitimate
income of a Speaker of the House
and an Adjutant and InspectorGeneral.
We do not attempt to
explain the entry of $11,000
against the " armed force " appropriation,
paid to Mr. F. J. Moses,
Jr.; but the known character of
the Speaker of the House, and
his career in that office, awaken a
suspicion very well defined, which
he has not only failed to clear up,
but has allowed the matter to go
unexplained, though for many
days it has been commented on
by the newspapers, and though it
would seem to be all-important
that ho should explain it to those
whose suffrages he was aolieltinw.

We are straight Republicans;
none will go farther than we in
any path of duty or honor, to
servo the interests of the Republican
party. The cause of the
Republican party is dear, unspeakably
dear, to u%; its principle
of the equality of all men be
fore the law is that particular
jewel which outshines, with us,
every brilliant in its casket. But
honesty in office, capacity in admiration,
fidelity to public trusts,
are principles- which cannot be ignored
by true Republicans; and
we cannot endorse the action of a
Convention which ignored them
all in its selection ot a candidate
for the hiahftftt Rra.t?
n ? ? ?V| "v "
ever i% regular " that Convention
may be. We have, therefore,
joined in a movement for the
nomination of an independent,
true Republican ticket; a ticket
containing the names of men
whose fidelity to the dictates of
honesty and duty is as well known
as their zeal in the cause of true
Republicanism. They are firm
supporters of the nomination of
Grrant and Wilson, and of the
great measures of the national
Republican party which has placid
(hem in nomination, while they
Eidd to their character for integrity,
superior capacity and ardent
patriotism.
We appeal to the voters of the
State of South Carolina to support
them, kuowing that their
alection will give us a wise,
honest, energetic administration
:>f the State Government, aud
that they will, regardless of their
private interests, or the private
interests of any set of men, make
it their bnsiness to repair, to the
axtent of their ability, the inju*
ries the body politic has suffered
by waste, extravagance, fraud and
incompetency.
Now is the accepted time to
rouse yourselves and throw off the
incubus which baa lain, worse
than a nightmare, upon our
State; and will be tenfold increased
io its horrors should Mr. F. J.
Moses, Jr., be seated in the executive
chair. Refuse to avail your
solves of this opportunity, and ere
many months have pasted over
our beads, dire disaster, without' a
parallel even in our disastrous ex?
perieuce, may be confidently anticipated.

ment:
" Tba amendment to tha act, approved 10th
Jnna, 1872, allowa to tba bankrupt all tba
property exempted by the lawa of each 8tate
of force in 1871, la addition to the five hundred
dollars' worth of property allowed under
the original act.
" This gives to eaoh bankrupt, in this State,
two thousand dollar*' worth of property, to
wit: One thonsand dollars' worth of real estate.
and one thousand dollars' worth of personal
estate. After the bankrupt has been
discharged this property becomes bis absolute
ostate to dispose of aa he chooses, either by
sale, gift, devise, or otherwise.
" It is not necessary, aa has been supposed,
that the estate of the person applying shall
pay fiftj per cent, of all hit debt*; but if the
estate which comes to the bands of the as*
signee is sufficient to pay fifty per oent. of his
individual debts, contracted since 1st January,
1889, exclusive of the debts contracted be
fore that time, he is entitled to a inll discharge
from all bis debts. If it is not sufficient, still
he is discharged from all individual debts
contracted before that time, and from all his
security debts, whether contracted before or
after that time, leaving nothing to be paid
but his individual debts contracted after 1st
January, 1869. MM I. CLAW80N,

Dr. W H. Tntt: Sir?Please necept the
heartfelt thanks of a mother who was well
oigh driven to despair by the sad condition
of an only child. My lilt'e hov has been
afflicted with Scrofula ever since his birth,
and after trying every remedy that was
reoommended, and several physicians had
pronounced him pnat all hope. 1 accidental
lv heard of your Saraaparilla and Qjeen's
Delight. it was so highly recommended
that I concluded to try it, but I must confess
with very little faith. He has taken
nine of the bottles yon sent me, and I am
happy in being able to say that be is almost
well; and I believe by the lime he
lakee tiie dozen he will he perfectly restored
to heslth. lie has gained flesh, has a
fine appetite, and now walks two miles to
school. 1 ahall always rfm?mb?r you with
gratitude. ANN MURRAY.

renovated and reatored to soundness.
