Mit, EDITOR:-Certain recent publication! in jour paper having become the aubject of very general comment. I think it due to myself, as well as to the Intendant of Sumter, to place the public in possession of all tho facts connected thetewith. Immediately after the Into election, the Inten? dant posted, nt the Pent Office, an invitation to ail citizens to make their complaints to Council. Availing myself of this notice, I presented to Council, through the Intendant, the following petition : SUMTER, S. C., 14th April, 1S71. ' . To the Intendant aud Warden* of the Toten of Sumter : UKXTI.EMEN-Wa tho undersigned citizens and Taxp yers, respectfully ask. that a statement of the fiscal affairs of the corporation bo published, which shall embrace tabular exhibits of receipts and expenditures, in totals, under separate head? ings. We further request that these- statements in? clude all transactions in Town Scrip as well as in Cash.

It is said that a bad beginning makes a- good < ending. We trust it may he so with the newly i elected Council. They certainly hare com* ; menced badly enough- They have elected, as 1 ehicf of police, an entire stranger to the com- < munlty-one who is disqualified from hoid:n,g i any office, as bo is not a citizen of this State and i not evon of tho United States. When a very < large number of citisehs and tax-payers demand t thc restoration of tbe former chief (who tras good j enough for toe Intendant ?nt?7 thc day of thc last | fic tion) their petition is postponed from meeting 1 to meeting, the wishes of the people are diere- -1 jjarded, and tbe ex-chief and bis family left to i itarve.

"[coantJK?CATtDi WHAT'S rai BOW? What's all this foss about? Somebody is In. tendant, and the town is entitled to an Intend? ant, so where's the barm, and what's the racket? Is the new street laid off In tb? wrong direction, or does it carry trade where some folks don't get it, or is a lone Irishman walking the street, with Et modest bit of a sbillaly, and behaving himself like a gintleraan, as he is, enough to stir the bile ?f Cassius and excite the pent op wrath of Cm sar? Cease firing, friends, and indulge freely in soda. The weather is horribly hot, and the town is horribly dull, but we don't want a fuss ibout nothing at all, at all. The Ku Klux may ihoir at Manning and In upper Sumter, but if :hey hear the sound of this battle, they may ri.-it this place, and soon decide ' wba'll be fviog' in Sumter. So stop the fuss at once, and ?top the press long enough to get this io, for the PUBLIC GOOD." Supposing that the remarks of "A Looker On" irere intended to injure my brother's character j md mlue, I demanded the author's name, aud kl soon as a decent regard to tho sad event in lis family permitted, I sent bim a communiea ion, a copy of which, with the subsequent cor ?espondence will be found in note ["A."] I address myself again u the subject of [own Affairs.' " A Looker On" states in defence of tfie?n endant, that " the Treasurer keeps the funds, lot the Intendant-bc (the Treasurer) bas pun? ished a statement of all the receipts nnd di? - lursaments, and if any thing were wrong, any j ?ody, much less tho astute ' Tax Payer,' could ! lastly show it from the figures." That is all , ruc, and I have shown " from the figures," that he Four Hundred Dollars never went into the ^ ' Town Treasury," nor OB the town books, and onsequently the "astute .Ta??'nyer''' might j nalize forever the Treasurer's statement, and ail to discover "a traco" of tba amount in quea- , ion, unless the item of six dollars and eighty j en ts received from " Poor Fund," and entered , ?such on the Treasurer's statement, under date ? f January, 1S70, include ? the Four Hundred ( )ullars-an arithmetical problem which even j he astute " Looker On" is incapable of work. , ig out. Is this fair argument? "A Tax Payer" en- j uired what had become of the money appropri- ? ted by the Stare. The Intendant replied that ( as between the State and bim, " A Tax Pay- , r," admitting it was spent in charity, denied t lat tba: was the special kind of charity intend- j ct by the Legislature. The card of the Intend- ( nts friends admits this charge, and gives credit , > the Intendant for saving the feelings of cer- ? tin reduced ladies by not doing (what DO one t vcr asked him to do), publish the names of the ? .cipients. In tho same paper '* A Looker On" , ills " A Tax Payer" ho'll find a full account of ? lis money in the Town Treasurer's statcuicoL I ? bis is a muddle. It is like thc grid-iron story : Where is my grid iron, mam?" " I never bor ? t >wed your grid iron! The m.-ty rusty old thing ! j ( nd I returned it long ago!" ? |t Of similar weight is the argument about the ^ mplicity of the Intendant's mode of living- j, lat bo can barely mauage to support his little , tinily, Ac. Is this a reason why be should be v iected Intendant? Tbe Intendant bas been for f ears the head of the largest establishment by t >og odds in Sumter, be bas sold moro goods and (. ought more cotton than any other two mer- t liants in this town. The result: bo is the v same poor man to-day that we saw bim years ( 8?-" I t In other words, if a man after having thc start ! f every body else, and doing much the largest i fl arinesi for years past, comes out with nothing, I j is a conclusive proof that he i- thc right man (, > manage successfully tho affairs of the town ! r Well may tbe Intendant exclaim, "?ave.ruc om my friends!" p I will now notice the communication signed ( Public Good:" As Hamlet said of Oiric: "Dost bow this Water Fly?" Ii not, I'll introduce " ?rn to you. ? "P. 6." wishes to know wbelhor "the new 0 reet carries trade where some folks dont get it ?" ? ow I am too old a bird to bo caught with chaff t ko that. I have been writing for newspapers ( r twenty years, and I understand these little p unes. "P. G." wants mc to say the Intendant a lt that street to carry business to bia own es- a bltsbment. But I wont say it, because I dont , ink it; and it would be mean and ungentle- l anly to mako such a charge unless I was pre- t ired to prove it. Jo the first place, I have iu- n >ected this new "Simpl?n," and I dont find it " ly aborter cut to Oreen, WuUh ? Co.'s than D ie old road passing Dr. Hay worth's house and s ming into Main street, at Major DeKoight's v mer. Our people, being food of old routes, will a .obably continue to eome into town that way, g ld thus pass "?oma folk's" stores before getting a i the establishment that sells everything D ixcept Liquors." Ia the second place, I think know why the Intendant cut that road, which, i it is as yet anonymous, I will call ' Green" treat, in compliment to the verdure of those taott primeval forests through which it passes, ld to the verdancy exhibited by "Public j ood." I think the opening of that road is attribute ^ ,e to the sam* obliging disposition which bas a lused many ?tbs? mistakes to be made. Som? friends" wanted it done, and without consider- (J ig whether it waa for tba general ber cfit of the ^ >?n, or sot, it was done. j Th? al lusioa to tb. new chief of police was quita ^ a necessary.

Our people, groaning andef a road of injustice and wrong, despairing of the State Government, ground down by ignorant negroes and their kna? vish white loader.', forgot, tor a tine/ tbs obliga? tions of virtue ami tbe dictates of reason, and if they did not encourage this novel and unrighte? ous monstrosity, they failed to denounce it as it deserved. Haring read in the good book, " thou shalt not follow s multitude to do evil," and " thon'shall indeed rebuke thy neighbo and not bear sin on bis account/' I thought a few plain spoken words night arouse tbs dormant senti? ment of oar people, and if once awahened, the "E. E. E.," which was injuring us, more than those against whom it was aimed, woald be doomed. I know not what influence my article exercised npon the Convention j bnt their delib? erate and o nar. imons condemnation of the thing, bas, BO doubt, effectually hilled it in Sooth Caro? lina, and I am pleased if I had a band in bury? ing it ont of sight. My reason for mentioning this circumstance, now, is to satisfy " ?. G" that I was not afraid of thc "E. E." I have now said my say to " Publio Good," and will dismiss him with tho words of "Uncle Toby": "Go lit? tle Sy ! There ls room enough in this world for you and me." I would offer a piece of advice to tboso ?rbo have assailed me through the press: Don't meddle with what you don't understand. It is no dis? credit to a man that be cant conduct a newspa? per controversy. Nature does not give all her favors to one mortal. Remember the fable of Juno sud the Peacock, and while yon spread your brilliant plumage in some other Seid of ac? tion, don't try to vocalize the music of Beetho? ven with a piece of dirty paper and an old comb. And now, Mr. Editor,in dosing this controver? sy, of which I think the public have bad enough, I feel myself called npon to rescue a worthy gentleman from the unfortunate position in which his friends have placed hvt*. The defenders of thc Intendant have left upon thc public mind the impression that ho has been charged with dishonesty, and tn ut being so charged, be has not had the manhood to resent the insult. Neither of these things are true. No one (exeept bis defenders) ever hinted at such s thought. The very fact that Capt. ?. C. Green, . ? & respectable citizen, an honorable man, and a ? J good soldier, who though not born on Southern}] ?oil, did his duty manfully to bis adopted State, in ber hour ofneed-hasnotsuugbCany explana* lion from me, is a sumcient proof dint he knew no such charge was ever made. I nave only to point to the language of my criticisms on his official course to satisfy any impartial man, that [ did not impugn his privato character. The irticlcs have been republished chiefly for that purgase. They speak for themselves, and I seo lotbing to regret or to recall in any of them. Ilaving now righted the ?hitwwhich unskilful! pi ot* had well nigh wrecked, I may be excused tor tating what my motives were in miking my strie urcs upon the Intendant'? public and official acts, ind why my manner was severe. Capt Green forgot jt hat thoic who vot?d agaiust him bad a perfect f ight to do so, without having improper motives i assigned to them. For myself, wy opposition ; J ras open and above-board. I made uo eccrot of j t. I argued with Capt. Green himself, and did j t sy best to dissitado him from thc canvass. In act, I did, at one time, luccecd in getting him to rithdraw from the field, in favor of a third can lidate-but his 'friends' insisted upon his running. : h as ho informed me), and be did so. Why did I ! f impose him ? Simply because I did not think be j t aade a good Intendant. I had paid ?orne at ten- 11 ion to cbe subject, and I thought his udmicis j I ration a failure. So thought a very considera- ] a ile number of his fellow citir.ons, and proved it j iy their votes. I had no private grudge (note i 'C") against him. We had been always friendly, ? v re wer? honorable competitors in business, but r io unkind word had ever passed between us. All 1 \> his did not blind me tn Li- errors as a publio j n uau, and I acted upon my convictions. After u he election, Capt. Green treated those who had , t oted against him as if they bad lost their rights ' n s citizen* and taxpayers, by their opposition'" o his reelection. Was not Mr. Wells ousted be ! r ai: -e of his voling against Capt. Green ? Were : a ot my questions treated in the same spirit? j >id not the petitions of certain tax-payers and I itizens share the same fate, and f r thc saree 1 a ?.?a.-on ? Many of Capt. Green's supporters ? v igncd both petit;?!.? ; yet because it was sup- I b msed that they originated with the opposition, ! p bey received no attention. ? Another mistake which Capt. Green made, was !c ot calculated to soften my tone towards bim, j a nd that was to try to stifle debate and choke ? t (I discussion. If Capt. Green bad spent the j a itate appropriation in tbe maimer intimated i>y ; fl be ..Card," of bis "friends," why did he not say j h o at first ? Simply beeaase the opposition pre- J * ounded tbe question. I bad my own theory 'a bout this money, and I Lava it still. I thought j t| nd still think that Capt. Oreen hud never road ?, bo Act of the Legislature and did not know bat the fund was intended for just such casca as be poor one-legged Missouri soldier, who told is piteous story in our streets last week : and a ot for resilient ladies of our town, however T icritorious. I think he ought to have read the ; ?? Let, and ongbt to bare known how the money j ros to be spent. And bis not doing so was jd noiber evidence to my mind that be was not a j j ood Intendant. Thia is the explanation of roy ' c nicies, and if my rebuke bas been sharp, it was lade so by the coarse of the Intendant himself, ' ? CHAS. H. MOISE. n NOTES. " SCXTER, 1st Jcs?, 1871. b fok? S.

I demand that Vari disclaim any intention to imply, directly or indirectly, that my Bankruptcy was other than honest and honorable in all respects. Third.-Tour allusion to one who has bought a fine house-"using other people's funds" there? for, seems directed to me. I have bought a bouse since my residence here, but the entire purchase money ($3,000) is still nnpaid, as will be shown by the publie records. I demand that yoe disclaim charging me, directly or indirectly, with appropriating the money of other prsons, for this or any other purp os;. Fourth.-Your allusion to ono "who rides in and owns" ?:fine carriages and buggies," and who "has built a fine house,'' "thing other people's money therefor," seems to point to my Brother. He dot? own "fine carriages and buggies." He and yon, are the only persons here who have built fine bouses stace the war; and as you cer? tainly do not mean yourself, yon seem to allude to him. I demand that yoi disclaim any intention to charge, directly or indirectly, my Brother Mr. E. W. Moise, with p urchasing "a fine house," "floe carriages and baggies/' er any thing else, with "other people's funds." A prompt reply is requested? This will ba banded to you by my friend T. M. DZLORXB, Esq. Respectfully, Yr. Ob't Serv't, CHAS. H. MOISE. SUMTER, S. C. June lit, 1871. Ur. Chat. ti. Moite, Su : Uer, S. C. DEAR SIR:-I will nc affect surprise at jour sommunication'of this *i..te handed ne by your friend Mr. T. M. Du LA cae, because I was fore? warned of it by the calling of the Editor of the Watchman upon mo, yesterday, to make known tome your demand for the anther of the com. uunication signed "A Looker On," unpleasant as t was to bim to make, and to me to attend to it it that time. Tba communication ia the Watchman of the list ulti. signed "A Looker On," was written in reply to an anonymous article signed "A Tax fayer" and in defense of a personal friend occa >ying the position . f Intendant, to which office [ bad publicly nomiaated bim and assisted to sleet bim. It was not written against you or any >ne else, or intended to be so construed. The dtfen? of one friend is r.at, and should tot bc, the crimination of another, or of any one ilse ; nor does it legitimately follow that because ve praise one tor bis many good qualities, that rc assert that others are deficient in these quali? t?s. Had you simply requested me to disclaim my allusion to yourself or brother, I should have ?ritten tho preceding and no more. But as you bare sean fit to specify at length he points in which you ?feel yourself agrieved, nd because I would not bave you or your friends o suppose I am unwilling to be aa explicit and ull in my disclaimer as you have been in mak ng the "demujidt," I yield to what seems to be .our wish. Waiving the question as to whether you hare be right to make any demands upon me, under be circumstances, I answer frankly ? Firtt.-That I did construe the articles of A Tax Payer" as implying a charge of dis loncsty or unfaithfulness in the use of public ands intrusted to the Intendant, but I am glad 0 learn that it is admitted that the "fact*" ff be case do not warrant such a charge, and that wronged you in such a construction of your rttcle. I therefore aeknowledgo this error. Second.-I disclaim any "intention of imply ag directly, or indirectly, that your Bankruptcy ras other than honest and honorable in all espects." In truth, I have never beard a whis rer that would imply anything else, and I know olbing about it myself. Except from rumor, util you informed me, I was not cognisant of be fact of your having taken the Act. I could 1 t and did not intend to refer to you as 'settling at 15 cents in tho dollar," (nor didi efcr to any one eke}, because I do not know nd have never beard to th ii writing, whether ou paid dollar for dollar, or how much you paid, could not and did not intend to censure you or ny one, for taking thc act, because I have ad ised many to do so, andi should cettainiy not ave so advised did I not think it right and roper under certain circumstance- todo so. ?otic of my nearest and best friends have been on.pelled to take it, and they did it npon my dvice. But while I say this, I do think it is be greatest of recommendations to a business ian to have been able, under all the financial roubles and misfortunes in which our people are been since the war, to keep bia head above >ater-and I asserted it in defence of my friend, nd as showing how well qualified he is to fill ie office he bad so long held, and to which he adjust been re-elected. Third.- I "disclaim charging you, directly or idirectly, with appropriating the money of other lersons" for tho purchase of your h >u*e or for ny other purpose. Io fact, until the receipt of our communication, I had supposed the house i which you live belonged to your brother. Fourth.-I "disclaim any iuteotion to charge, ireetly or indirectly, ynar brother, Mr. E. W. I OISE, with purchasing 'a fine boase,' 'Sae irria jes and fine buggies,' or anything elsa, with i ?her people's'funds.'" I may add, I never reamed of such a thing, and am taken by sur rise at any such inference. As yen remark, I ?yself have built a house, which you ar* pleased i style a fine one, and I suppose the inference ould be applied as well to myself as to your rother-so have macy others made themselves ne houses. I do no* think any such inference ? you draw is fairly deducible-at an/ rate I gain disclaim it. I waa defending an officer who had public ands intrusted to his keepiug. I do not know of, nd have never heard of, any such funds hoing a either your or your brother'? hands. Hoping that this reply is as full and complete s you desire, I have hot to suggoat that, as the rticle yon complain of was published in the Watchman, you will let your communication, nd this reply, take the sam* coane, and thus let be reparation and disclaimer bo as complete as be supposed injury. I will add, sir, that had yon become tbelntao ant of the Town, under tho aame circumstance* a relation to myself in which th* present Inten ant fill* that office, I should bare done BO loss ?r you than I have tried to do for him, Very Respectfully, J. 8.
