Abont Our Vovernor. The following very damaging stite ments were made by a correspondent of the New York- Tivzes, in a let ter written some time since from Ciarleston. While everything is not true, just lesus:e it happens to be stated, yet tere must be some truth at the botton of these things, since no attempt have been made by the Fort Sumter hero to coatradict or ex plain them: Every interested statement to the contrary notwithistandingr. it is now definitely settled that F. J. Moses, Jr., will be a candidate on the Republican t;eket for re'election as Governor of the State of south Carolina. It is also stated by all classes of politicians that should he run there cau be little doubt of his success. Such being the case, it may be well to explain to the Republican -party of the North what manner of man F. J. Moses, Jr., is. That he boasts of having hauled down the American flag from the walls of Fort Sumter, and that he is openly eharged with all sorts of crimes, is well known to newspaper readers throughout the country. Of his re cent indictment for malfeasance iu ofice and grand larceny much has been written) but as yet the whole truth in relation to the matter -has never been laid before the public. From Mij. Charles W. Buttz, the State. Solicitor who prosecuted the Gov ernor, and who, is most intimately ac (usinted with the whole case, the fol lowing plain and unvarnished state ment is derived : At. the election of Moses for Governor. and during the canvass, he became desirous of obtainiug po litical control- of a newspaper pub. lished'in Columbia,. and known as the Union-Herald. With this object in view, he entered into communica tion with MT.-T. C. Andrews,one of the proprietors of the journal named, and soon after made a written agreement with him for the purchase of a one half interest in and the entire political control of the paper. This agreement, which is now in the possession of Bi.tzz, and which has been seen by your correspondent, stipulates in dis tinct terms that Moses is to pay $12, 000 for the interest sold to him, and that $6,000 of this sum is to be taken from the State civil nontingent fund. which had not yet be& appropriated. The rest was to be paid in other State securities. In order to secure pay mnent of one-half the money, Moses appointed a negro boy named uI bert to be county treasurer of Orange burg County. At the time of his ap pointmnent, the boy was not yet twen tv-one years of age. Soon after, Nleses drew a warrant on the contin gent fud for $6,000, and sent it by Andrews to Humbert, with instrue tions to colleet taxes to that amount, and hand themi over to Andrews. .At the same time. Noses assured the boy treasurer that he would make the matter "all right." Relying on these promises Huwbert did as he was di rected. Some weeks after the Legis lature, being in session, appropriated $z0,000 as ~a contingent fund for the Governor. Immediately upon tl e biil being passed, Moses, with his signature still wet, presented it to S tate Treasurer Cardozo, and drew the whole amount. A week or so af terward .Humbert went to Columbia to pay over the taxes he had collected, and settle his accounts with thme State. As a voucher for the $6,000 he had oiven to Moses, he presented that gentleman's warrant on the contingent fundi The treasurer refused to ae cept this, saying that the Governor had already drawn every penny of the fund. Ilumbert, greatly alarmed. then called on Moses, who told him to say nothfing about the matter, and $hat he would protect him r.nd see that he came out all right. At the same tune he advised him to go back to his of iece and purchase school claims against the State-jo be had at forty cents on the dollar-suffcienlt to cover the amont he was short, and that he would get Cardozo to accept them for their face value. Humbert again did us he was directed, but on presentimg t he claims to Cardozo, thatenjtleni not only refused to accept them at their face value, but caused the arrest of the unfortunate negro lad on a eb::rge of being a defaulter. The boy was hailed out by a friend, and Moses -requested him to come and see him. D)uring the interview which followed, the GiGvernor tried to induce his dupe io give u, the written evidence which h:e'possessed in relation, to him. At Ithe same time he advised the boy to go to court,.to plead guilty before his isaminuation, and assured himi that af ter his c-onviction, he would a't once be pardoned and set at liberty. Hum bert having no faith in Moses's prlo umises, declined to do as lhe desired. Interestecd parties laid all these facts before State Solicitor ]Buttz, who de eided to frame an indietment agamist Hlumbert for breach of trust, saud and atteumpt at grand larceny, and against M'oses for Aiding, advising and abet - im ~inp the crime. The law makes hmen forall tb.ese offences thesume. 4s soon as the mdicments we re issued, it is understrood that Mo~ses went to Mr. DI. H. Chamber in?. one of the ablest Northern men in the State, and promised hmim that, if he winuld use his great influence to r'otect im in his nxed, he wou~ild re Kn in his favor at the next ele'ction,. md ..::l in hspcower o ae i (Cham~.berlin)" elected Governor, The u~mth of this statement is not ,foched -g : ti certain, however. that on th'eve"nn of the iudictment of N~ oses by 'the graiud jury, niot only Chamn:berliui,R but his law partner, iMr. Melton, the present atorey-general, of ('ougress from this State, arm wad in Or'angeburg, and on the next day ppeared e court and stated to the indiCe that Governor Moses would .tand his trial the same as any other citizen,I and that he did not wish his diefical tpoition to shield hi from the .o;sequ'enees of any of his pr.iya.e .ac tiens. This statement appeares -ver well on the surface, but a~ s tda ~ ~nror had any in Liunmbert to turn State evidence, ob ieeted,and thlttLe case .put off until -the next term. The second trial re sulted in the merest farce. The correspondent also says, aimong the many charges brought against 31oses, one of the most serious is that his misuse of the pardoning power amo14un1ts almont t. crimiinalitv. The exercise of this power in favor of oniiVets. to the extent Moses has car ried it, has had such an injurious of feet ou the evil-disposed porti-n of the community that they conmit the most serious offences with no fear of punishment. At the sane time it has more than doubled the expenses of the courts. giving the taxpayer3 just cause for complaint. In the Charleston Circuit alone, since the 1st of January, 1873, the convictions and pardotis have com pared as follows: Crimes. Convictions. Pardons. Murder....... .............-. Manislaugitter................s Highway robbery.1 Burglary............................10 Forgery. .................12 9 A&sault with intent to kill....48 is Riot............ ... ...... .......... 2 Arson.... ................... I 1 Perjury...................-..1I 1 Rape.......... ...........1 1 Assault and battery .......... :.0 21 Grand Larceny...... ......72 1s Total ................227 87 Of the -above iumber., Moses par doued tweuty-three by telegraph the day after conviction, and the balance before they had been convicted thirty days. In most instances the pardons were graLted upon application of in terested politicians. Of the number allowed to escape the punishment they deserved, fifteen were tried and con victed of two different offences commit ed since they were first pardoned, and were pardoned a second time, and twenty-two hare been convicted of one offence since pardon, and pardoned a second time. What a narrative of infamy! And yet it is not at all improbable that Moses will be re-elected Governor. The Coming Cotton Crop. MONTITLY REPORT OF THE AGRICUL TURAL DEPARTMENT. WASHINGTON, June 15.-The sta tistician of the department of agricul ture makes a report of the acreage in cotton, based on returns from most of the cotton region and on personal obser vation in six cotton Stetes, as follows, the comparison being with acreage of 1873: Virginia, 80; North Carolina; 89; South Carolina, 91; Georgia, 90, Florida, 91; Alabama, 86; Arkansas, 89; Tennessee, 92; Mississippi, 89 ; Louisiana, 89; Texas, 102; Missouri, 75. The aggregate reduction slight ly exceeds 18 per cent. The conidi tion of the crop~ is represented by the following figures. 100 being the nor mal or fair condition: North Carolina, SO; South Carolina, 81, Georgia, SO; Florida, 90; Alabama, 82; Mississippi, 78; Louisiana, 70; Texas, 90; Arkan sas, 90; Tennessee, 85. The report of the condition in June, 1873, is more favorable in every State except North Car-olina and Texas, the re cords for 1 873 standing as follows: North Carolina, 85, South Carolina, 88; Georgia, 94; Florida, 102; Ala bama. 93; Mississippi, 92; Louisiana, 94; Texas, 80; Arkansas, 92; Ten nessee, 90. The season has been re markable for heavy and frequent rains during this mouth and April through 1.t tlhe cotton States. In this con netion, the aggregate rainfall report ed exceeds sixteen inc-les. - All the rivers, creeks, springs and branehes overkowed their bauis aind destroyed the plants and prevented germination on newly planted lands. In the more southern belt .replanting was general, both on bottom and upland. From the first week in MIay to its close the drought was almost universal; the soil was p-teked. and afterwards baked by the hot sun. retarding cultivation and preoventing growth. The stand is. therefore, very poor, many plants not having made their appearance on the 1st of June. Since the last of May light showers have been general, and the pr-ospects -are much improved. The fields are much cleaner than last year, and can easily be kept free from~ weeds. With favorable weather raid improvement is certain. and a fair- comparson with July is quite probable at the next report.

The Sheriff of Colleton County complains that, owing to the fact of not receiving mon ey for dieting .risoners, the prisoners in jail are becoming a burden upon him. There are twelve priioners in the jazil at Waherb.oro. OwiuNg to the ignorance or criminality of the .ury Commissioners, court has not been held in the County for twelve months. On Friday night last, the residence of Mr. G. J. Lnhn, 27 Vanderhorst gtreet.

The grand jury, consisting of fifteen col ored and three white men, presented James M. Lesesne, Henry Joy and Richard 0. Bush. the County Commissioners of Georgetown, for irregulariticz,malfeasance and defalcation in office, which was set forth in ten different specifications. The Chester Reporter of the 12th says: "The rain has come, and farmers are again basking in the sunlight of hope and joy. All sections of our country have been visited with good rains. The crops are doing won derfully well, and the prospects for a good yield of both corn and cotton are good." Last Thursday night, a band of murderers and robbers, under pretence of wishing to buy something, entered the store of a Mr. How ard, near May River Church, about twelve miles from Hardeeville, S. C., murdered the clerk, Mr. Thomas S. Behn, burned his body to a crisp, then robbed the storehouse and set fire to it. Warrants have been issued against four negroes, against whom there is strong evidence. UNITED STATES. Population of Texas State Penitentiary, 1,300. Cattle are dying from disease in Southern Kansas.

A despatch from San Francisco announces the death of the Apachee Chief, Cochise. The 1:ast year or two of this notorious sav age -were passed without hostility, after a life time of uncompromising hate and re venge against the white race. A Nebraska journal invitingly says: "Who says farmers cannot get r ich in this State ? Fifteen years ago a young man came to the State without a dollar in the world. L-ist week he went out of the State carrying with him the sum of one dollar and thirty-eight cents, the savings of fi fteen years of frugal life. Come WVest, young man, come West."

Tax Unions Once M1ore. j There is no good reason why the people of Newberr~y County should be more negligent in the organization of tax unious than other counties. Other counties are going ahead in the right spirit and establishing these unions, thus carrying out the will of the Tax Payers' Convention, and forming a nucleus for organization. wvhich, if general. wvill oppose a most formnidable front to mual-administration. Yet Newberry seems apathetic in the mat ter, not only not making a movement in that direction, but not talking about it, nor aippearring to care about it. INow we must wake up and go to work. These Tax Unions should be formed at once, anid all over the country, so that we will no longer be a disorgan ized people. It matters nrot how powerful a body may be, if it is want ing in conicert and unanimity it wvill fail 'to accomnplishl muc-h. t"The Americans." The above is the name of a new political party recently irnagurated at Syracuse, New York, whose object is opposition to all secret societies. A convention will be held at Iudianapolis on the 19th of August next, for the purpose of adopting a political plat. form. This movement is the offspring of the Au ti-Secret Society Convention, which met at Syracuse on the 4th inst., and was turned into a political meeting. The Society adopted resolu tions denouneing secret societies, as conspiracies against all who were not members, as a menace to the religion of .Jesus Christ and to our republican institutions. The opposition is par tieulary directed agaicst Free Masdtry, which, in the eyes of the Convention, is parent of all other secret fraternities, but Odd Fellows, Grangers, Temper ance Societies, and all such, have in curred their awful displeasure and zealous hostility, because they are birds of the same feather. Tfhe meeting was characterized by any qunantity of zeal, a good deal of sincerity, but by very little common sense. They are wrong in the prem ises and are striving after an impossi bility. They remind us of Dame Partiugton, with her mop and broom trying to sweep back the Atlantie. .1The Way tofDo.

Our youu men are in iuch too >ig a hurry to iLake their fortunes. any leave the country to try their uck in town, hoping thereby to ac "omplish in a few years what it usually :Ikes many years to do. The profes ions, too, are being rusned into by inpatient youths without the proper :alculation ofh cliances and the requisite reparition for the duties they entail. [ik this ba-ty effurt to try soiethig Itw and to get rich, result many dis tppointnents to the essayers and nr(cb vil to the country. Many good far ners are thus ma(le bad ier'hants, nd the professions~ are over stocked ith unskilled and unprepared n:.en. t is not srl)rising, therefore. that Ve hear of so '11any faiilures and dis ppontmetts. No wonder, thwi. that the dignity if the professions is lowering, and that trors and evils accrue. There is not nough preparation for the duties of ife, not enough study and culture. [here is too much skimming along the urface and too little diving below. itness for a~nd proficiency in the occu aion to be followed should be the first nim of the young mau. Then he must ot be in too big a hurry. Brick omneroy's advice to his son is not in pposite here, viz., "Keep cool, go low." He might have added first, xet ready. The Good Templars. The news from the Right Worthy xrand Lodge of the Independent Or ler of Good Templars of the World, vhich held its annual session sonie ime since in Boston, Mass., is of the nost cheering character. The num >er of inembers present was about two iundred aud fifty-six, and the meeting vas altogether pleasant and harmo iious. The rapidity with which this )rder has spread itself over the wvorld. md the gigantie proportions which it ias now assc.med, is truly astonishing. : England its sucee.s is unprecedent id.

Sawyer's Effrontery. 11S PLAN FOR. KEEPING HIMSELF IN IS OFFPICE OR GETTING ANOTIIER. A Washington dispatch of Wednes day last, to:the New York Times, says : "Mr. Sa~wyer, the ex--assistant secre tary of the treasury,, seems very loth to give up his hold upon public office. and the miost extraordinary exertions are makin:r in his behalf. Within the last two or three days a paper has been circulating for the signatures of senators, which states that the under signed hlave examined the testimony ta ken in regard to the Sanborn contracts by the ways and means commnittee of the House, and do not find aniy evi dence therein refie-eting upon the offi eial or personal character of Frederick A. Sawyer, 'anld we respectfully re commend that he may be retained inl the office of assistant secretary.' This, of course, is not the exact form of the paper, but is the substance of it, and it is designmed to express the views of the sig.ners that Mr. Sawyer wals not implicated in any unfavorable way au the Sanborn contraot basiness, it is understood that yesterday this import-. ant document received two signatures, the first being that of George Spencer, af Alabama, and the second, Senator Conver, of Florida The document having received this auspicious send aff; was on its course again to-day, und, zsfar as heard from, hand receiv ed the additioial signatures of.Sena tor Clayton. Several senators to whom it has been presented have re fused their sigunatures. While the paper, f it should receive, by any poi,sibility, the niajority of. the Sen ste, would be of no earthly use to Mr. awyer in securing his retention in he department, there is doubtless a orlorn hope entertained that it would ugea possilaility of a confirma{ion gd pav the way for ai nommatiou }o spnig comfortable position.

If in this liberal age there are persons to be found who are so blinded by prejudice as not to believe that a medicated stimulant is a item of immense imuportaucee in the cata logue of hunman remedies, vee should like them to witness the wonderful effects wvhich Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are now produc ing all over the country in cases of intermit tent fever, rheutmatism, billions disorders, dyspepsia.: nervous complaints, constitution al debility. mental depression and premature decay. To be sure these effects are nothing new. .The grea t ve.gctable invigorant and its ures have beetn before the people for more than twenty-five years. and in every year of the twenty-live its popularity has increased and its sales have becomte larger. Yet there re nto doabt manr thousands of intelligent citizens who have r,ever had an opportunity of observing for themnselves the surprising changes which this unequaled tonic and al terative produces in systemns which seem to e hopelessly broken, and in cases of disease whiht are tot amenable to ordinary reme dies. PI'obablf many of these regard the staement, made in relation to the sanitary properties of the Bitter< with sonie degree of incredulity. Would thtat all such skeptics could see with their own eyes what the medicine is doitng for the sick and feeble everywhere, wha t :a st:aff of life it is proving to the aged and intirm, what a help in time of trouble to feeble wotnen suffering from the comnplaints aitd di.,abilities peculiar to the sex, what a protection to health and life malat ions disricts, what a panacea for all lanuor or depression, what a specific for all aiseses in which the system requires to be vita lized and sustained. Of all-stimulants it is the purest and safest,~of all tonics the most genial, effective and agreeable, of all alteratives the least violent and the most cer tai in its beneficial tesults. June 3, 21m. It is Not Generally Known hat the shtortest possible route between the South and Great WVest is through St. Louis, over the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Short Line. This road has gained surprising importauce by reason of~ immense expeditures in the last two years, of o.ver two million dollars, besides earnings, in im proveents of road-way, in relaying their line with best q.ity of new steel and iron rails, on broad new ties, atd substituting for ordinary cars, new reclining chair coach es, elegantly carrpeted and fitted, with dress ing rooms with toilet conveniences for la dies gentlemnen and families traveling with children, without any extra charge. This line runs six fast Express trains between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, two more than any other road, and connects with all the.._greatLnd Gant Roads in the West. lew .eiscellaneous. L.
