THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, 8. C., Dec. 1?, 1872. Elected to tho U. S. Senate and.Hustled Into Jail. As we go to press, the news reaches us, by telegram to Augusta papers, that the. Senatorial eleotion in the South Carolina Legislature, yesterday, Tuesday loth re sulted in the choice of John J, Patterson ; and that thereupon, Mr. Patterson was arrested and put in jail for bribery.. Patterson is the rich carpet-bagger who hasse much to, do with wealthy Railroads. It is supposed, of course, that he has bribed certain members bf the Legisla ture to vote for him. The election will probably be contest ed, and still mere carpet-bag villainy ex posed to the world. Thc i/jaugural of Gov. Moses. On Tuesday, the ard Uwt" Governor Moses was formally installed, with all tho ceremonies attendant upon such oc casions. His .inaugural address maybe found in another column. As usual the decent white people of the State are made responsible for all our financial difficul ties, for all political intolerance, and for Ku Klux outrages. But the Governor vee? the first fal nt streaks of a rosy dawn, and predicts that Northern capital, labor, enterprise and Ingenuity will now come to us in profusion and open wp avenues through which all our people, white and black, will become rich. 'He thinks too that in future the lion and the lamb will lie down together in sweet accord. In the meantime .we, upon whose shoulders ali the sins are laid, cannot, for our lives, see the tolerance, amiabili ty and honesty of the class notu in pow er. Tolerance indeed ! when the torch of political hate ls every day and night giving our dwellings, barns, stables, and all else that our. energy and jndustry hove gathered ?round us', to the devour ing flames. As to the white people of j the State-called by Gov. Moses, " the former ruling classt'-being the cause of her financial difficulties, that 1s partisan and unjust nonsense: The infamously 'extravagant expenditures of the Radical State government and the clearly appa rent frauds upon the Treasury are the great nausea of Hi? disgraceful decline in our State Securities. And this very at atbempt to shoulder these sins upon peo ple who are guiltless of them, looks very lUAich as if the new - administration, de. spite its, promises of virtue and reform, ware anxious to cover up the vile crimes ei ih.eold administration, instead ot un earthing thom, bringing their per petrators to jin tice. . 1 However, we will strive not to censure our new rulers until we have more fully teded the sincerity of their promises mao* Upf?re the election. The fruit of j such sjmierity Mill w pieper pponomy In all tho department* of our State gov* eminent, a reduction of taxes, and au honest disbursementof the peoples' mon" ey. The squelching of a Huge Public Swindle. Ju?gp Moiton has decided that the. Act bf the Lej^sla^r* pf March 2nd 1872, authorizing^)? emission of cerrar Trea?r ury certificates,generally known as," tho Blue Bidgo scrip," is in violation of the Constitution of this State and of the "pnito'i "f.alpsi RU(1 therefore null and void. Soum time tonk, Jud,go Willard temporarily enjoined^be State I'r.eajurflr from using and putting ip circulation iii ese certirl catos, and the State Treasurer and County Treasurers from receiving this RJr-.e Ridge scrip in payment of) taxes then due o. afterwards to be levi ed, and from paying out the san^e And now Judge Melton makes this injunction perpetual. This decision of Judges Melton's re lieras our people from the workings of a huge swindle concocted by the most un blushing of the many Radical rings that have pillaged our State For his faith ful and correct decision, in f.hls aase Judge Moiton is eminently entitled, to and will receive the hearty thanks of the good people of the State. ??ward of a Faithful Servant. President Grant ba-} appointed Jos. L. Orr, of South Oa?-o?Hfa, Minister to Rus sla. This is the reward of wfyat tho Re publican party call '* a conspicuous ex ample of 8outJi?rn conservatism," but what we Routh Carolinian* csll-c-well, it doos n't matter now perhaps. Of course Gov. Orr will uooopt a reward to whjch be ls so justly cutitled by his heavy ser vicos.

Judge MerrJmon I? the man-the sanio who was defeated in Au gust last, for Governor. Tn the guberna torial contest he was the Democratic can didato, but in the Senatorial contest he was* tho candidate of the Republicans, and ran against the regular nomlnoe of | tho Deinocraticparty.

Judge Mer rimon claims still to be a consistent Democrat, but the Democrats have but j little faith left in him, and are evidently )f the opinion that he has sold himself | io' tho Rad i cals.

The .?jj two principals then advanced alone, each u three pnces, saluted without, speakjpg, and retired from the ground.* i . - ? ? " b The Colombia P/weiiiz, oom m eu- -y tin? upon Gov. Moses' inaugural address, ^ says: The Governor followed this wp "with some suggestions tothe men of his own T race to be"inore tolerant to their dusky 0 brothers. In the bush of passion and in the stilling of internecine strife, the dawn 1 of a brighter future would be seen Ina-, a migrants and capital'would follow the n banishment of sectionalism, ?tc. While' be is in the humor of giving advice, and as he has the car of the colored people,, it would be well, and keep the balance even, if he would say a word to them , against the execrable babic they have of I burning houses, cotton, cotton gins, ?tc. ji The Governor promised to stand upon the platform of bia party. He regarded 11 it an the authoritative exposition of his. i offiolal duty. This was the beat part of jg Ida speech, and for this we commend bim1 heartily."
