' Mr. Cardoza, in his printed report to '? the^last.'Legislature, in speaking of * ' Eiohelborgor's and Allen's arrest uses this language: . It'was my unpleasant duty, in occor dfttteb with Section 36, Chapter XVII, of the Revised Statutes, to arrest the ]ate.J*. A. Eichelberger, ex Treasurer of vKdgcfield County, and James M. Allen, ex-Treasurer of Grceuvillo County, forf defalcation. The law under which thoyf were arrested was pronounced unoonsti j iutio?al by tho Circuit Court.

If tho Attorney Gen oral, knows the number of defaulting County Treasurers, and that officor has fiufeSd-to do \x\i duty, let Mr. Cardoza ?hifVtho raspbnsihility from his Bhoul f^'tinfffitM of the fact.

Four of them bare been. arrested. Wo fear all that shtnos is oot gold, and, that if truth, dread and terriblo in her re relations, oould show horselt to the iiupoviahod tax-payers of South Carolina, Mr. Cardoza would re solve to reform; sho might,- in hor majes ty exclaim that oorruptioa courtjd 00 more stalwart and willing arm to lean upon than that of our Treasurer: that virtuo, iu her purity, would shrink with as muoh loathing from his embraoo as that of those whom he would fain seud to the pcuitontiary,.and that while ho may appoar to bo tho measure of all truth unto himself, thoro i > a nioo little crowd who rogard him as a lilllc lower than the angels. Solah. Republican Printing Company **/ This Company cntored into a contract with tho State of South Carolina to do the work ordered by tho Gouoral Assembly and the other branches of tho Stute Government in a faithful aud workmanlike manner. Tho contract was for four years, and tho work has been tolerably well dona for three of them at four hundred and. fifty tho.tsand dollars per annum ; but Messrs Wood ruff aud Jt-nos, the Republican Printing Company, propor, have seeu Gt to ignore the'r obligation to tho S ato, iu their roccnt refusal \p have any more work door, until Cauloza conxcuts to issue more pny certificates. Wo say, God deliver us from any more of thotu. And while we believe that the present State Treajurcr is not ono whit better than a groat many of Gen. Dynnis's boarders, still wo are proparod to commend him for refusing to allow the Republican Printing Company to enrich themsolvos further at the expense . of the State. Our Court is going on here without a Binglc copy of the Acts and Joint Resolutions, passed by the recent General Assembly ; and yet, bujidrjds of thousands of dollars, have uoou wru iig from the tax payers for the purpose ol ^having the laws published to -evory body. We felt sad on Monday morning last?sad because scoundrels have brought our great party into disrepute ?when our esteemed Judge, in charg ing tho Gruud Jury, said that he really did not know what the ucw laws were, having been unable to procure theni, and could only instruct th: Jury upon the few Acts that be had chanced to see in tho newspapers. The Legisla ture is cursed on every side, its mem bom arc looked upon as thieves; but we say, as one who knows, that tho oorrup tionists of that body?tho chief scoun drels in tempting its ignorance?arc. as yet, only known to a fo.v. Thequsi : tiop is ouly ono of time. i,' Uho Charleston Chronicle has the official patronage of the State, of the County of Charleston, and the city, and yet tho Charleston A'cics ami Courier, without either, is worth fitly times its value. We do not like tho politic11 'courec of our Dcmoractie noutomp >roy , but, ns a newspaper, would porfer its subscription one month to five years' subscription to the Chronicle. It is another disgrace to the party, and yet it lives on pop. Indict men of G oventor Moses, Jr., ami County Treasurer, J. Ij. llumhcri. Its history up to this timk. On Monday last the Court of General Sesusions eommcnocd for this County. It was called to order by his Honor, R. P. Graham, Judge presiding. Soli citor C. W. Butttz was promptly at his post of duty, and tiid not keep the Grand Jury in many minutes snspenso before handing them a batch of bills to pass upon. This is Mr. Ruttz's third appearance, us Soliohor, iu our Courts here, and it is but fair tcsay that he has won the approbation of all parties. He is fearless in the discharge of what ho conceives to bo his duty, and seldom fails- hv carrying his points, once his mind has been made up that Ix 3 is in tho right. Tho most important bill given out wts tho indictment against John L. Hum bert, Ez-Couuty Treasurer, and Franklin J. Moses, Jr., Governor of Poiilb Carolins, indjciftl for Breach of Trust aud Grand Larcony. The iudict ment, lipon which the Grand Jury re turned a "true bill," reads a* follows : STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Oraxoeburo County. At b Court of General Sessions, begun and holden in and for the County of Oraugcburg, ? in the Stato of South Carolina, at Orangeburg, in tho County and Stato aforesaid, on Monday, tho Eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord Ouo thousand Eight hundred and Sevonty-four, tha Jurors of aud for tho County of Oraogeburg aforewid. in the State of South Carolina aforesaid thai is to say, upon their Oths present tha?.

Aud tho Jurors aforesaid upon their oaths aforesaid, do further pre sent, that the said John L.

(Signed,) OHAS. W. HUTTZ, Sol. 1st. Circuit. Solicitor Battz informs us that the above indictment is founded upon the following Sections of the Royisod Statu tea. To wit: Chapter CXXIX, Section 11 which reads: "Any person com mit ing a brach of trust with, a fraudu lent intention shall bo bold guilty of learocny ; nnd so shall any person who shall hire or counsel any other person to commit a breaoh of trust with a fraudulent intontion." Solicitor Bnttz's right to indict tho Governor is given in Chapter CXX XVII, Section 2 and 3 of tho Revised Statutes. Sec. 2. Whoever counsels, hires, or otherwise proouros, n felony to bo com mitted, may be indicted and convicted as an sccessory bofore the fact, either with the principal folon or nft?r his con viction, or may bo imlioted Had con I victed of a Bubstantivo foloay, whether tho principal folon has not boon cou ? \ victed-, or is or is not amenublo to ju| [ tice, and, lb the last ujoutioaed case, may bo punished in the same uiannor as if convicted of being an accessory Deforo tho fact. Seo 3. A person charged with tho oifcuso mentioned in the preceding Sec tiou may be indicted, tried and punished in the name Court and County where tbo principal felon might be indicted and tried, although tho ofFcnso of coun selling, hiring or procuring tho com* mission of suoh felony is committed on the high seas, or ou land cither within or without the limits of this State. A true bill having been found, Solici tor Buttz moved that a bench warraut be issued for tho arrest of Governor Moses. -Jude Graham remarked that he was not sure that his Court had tho power, to make auy such order; that Moses was Governor of tho State, and in his opinion^he Legislature was the only body that could proceed in the matter, and that would be by impeachment. Mr. Buttz replied that ho had not in dictod him as Governor, but simply as Franklin J. Moses, Jr.; that h? had committed tho offence nllegod against him, and was just as amenable to the laws as tho poorest citizen in tho State, that ho kucw of no law to prevent his arrest, wdiiln on tho other hau i, there was an abundance which provided for the apprehension and punishment of all criminals; that no official position could shield -^i man from that responsi bility, ahd that his Honor's Court had jurisdiction of the case. Judge Graham said that it was rather a novellhing to arrest a Governor for stealing, and would take tho mattor un der advi8cmcnt. In the afternoon, however^ he granted the Diction.' and n bench warrant was issued. Sheriff Cain proceeded to Celtrubu tint night, went to the Governor's place of restden ;e for the pujrp >sc of carrying out. his du'y?, and requested to sec him. 11 o was met by GcncTul Dennis, who oom uunicate 1 to him the Governor's intm'ion, as is shown intthc following return, ma le by the slTeriify urmn the warraut of arrcit : QaAKGEBURO, S. C., May 20th, 1874. In oledicncc (o the within warrant T projecded to Columbia on the 19th itiat.; called at the r.'si IcncJ of F. J. Moses, Jr., defendant, and mado an effort to execute this warrant. I was informed by John B. Dennis that said Mo;cs refused to be arrested, under any circumstances. I nlso learned that Mos es had called out the militia to resist the execution of this warrant. (Signed ) E. I. Cain, S O. C. While all this was going on in Columbia, lions. D. II. Chamberlain and R. B. Elliott were 'thore playing their cards in quite a different manner. They nirived here on tho morning train and proceeded at ouce to tho Court House, and asked leave to make a motion. The first was for a severance. Mr. Chamberlain urged that Governor Moses should be permitted to stand upon his own merits; that tho parties indicted had different counsel; that the state of facts, iu relation to eich ono, was dissimilar, and ho thought it no more than just, at that stago of the proceedings, to insist that his motion bo granted. Solicitor Buttz, for the Stato, replied in opposition to tho motion. lie thought there was too much haste mani fested, on the part of Counsol, for the Governor. Moses, tho defendant, had not ?urr??iifl?r*'l him?olf, or bees ar rested, and was not In a position to claim, as a right, th it ho should be tried separate from Humbert. Tho motion was one addressed to his Honor's sound descretion, and tho de fendant's tttorrneys aught unt to bo allowed tho bertlfit of it until he,the Solicitor, had had a 'reasonable oppor tunity" to satisfy himself that the right of the people would not be jeopardized by granting tho same. Ho had no ob jection to an order to the effect that, when tho case is called for trial, nud tho defendant, Moses, appears in Court that he shou Id be allowed a separate trial. Major Knowlton ft Honed the Solicitor and objected to a sevcranco upon tho grou'id that it would bo doing an injustice to his client, His theory was that the principal thief should bo tried along with the young man that h e had counselled ; to do wrong. Mr. Knowl ton'o speech was short, but full ofthat Vn and e^rnosf-ncsB vrhieh hat made 1 his name so 'familiar to every house hold iu this Couuty. General Elliott concluded ou the side of Governor Mosos. His speech was strong and to tho point. He claimed that his client had a right to havo a separate trial, and could not understand why counsol for tho State should opposo his motion. Judgo Graham reserved his decision until in the aftoruoou, whoa ho granted the following order of sovrance : STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Oranoeruro County, In the General Setsion?. Tho State 1 Indictment v8 for J. L. Humbert )? Breach of aud I Trust and F. J. Mo..e8 Jr. "i Larceny On motion of R. B. Elliott and D. II. Chamberlain Atterneys for F. J. Moses Jr., one of the abovo named defendants, it is Ordered, that the defendants above named be allowed to savor. May 10th 187-4. It. F. GRAHAM. Gen. Elliott moved tho following order also, which was granted: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Oranueuuro County, In the General Session*. The Siato ^ Indictment vs for J. L. Humbert Breach of and Trust and F.

Graham. May 19, 1S71. This is the history of the ca?o up to this time. We hhall watch it* progress closely, und publish the same for tho benrtit <>l our readers. Of course it is to be regretted that Governor Moses has not before this tinn, attempted to explain away the affair. It is indeed unfortunate for him und mir party, and we trust that thing* ma) nut turn out to be .so bad after all. Some of our I Columbia contemporaries would >eem to j insinuate t'fiit the indictment is founded | in malice a^aijst the Governor. We I know such to be entirely untrue, an 1 in 1 justice to Judge Graham and Solicitor Btittz, tvo say onoe and f >r J all, that they fcv:l a d cpor sympathy for Gov Mose?, and the reputation of tho gov ernment th.au tho party who would im pute anything b tit proper motives to them. 'I hey are Republicans, but thoy have a duty to perform to their country, their consciences and their God. And so far as wo are concerned, wo could not wi>h otherwise than that Governor Mosos may come out unscathed. The State of South Carolina. 0 It A N G KB I" RG CO U N T V. In Titu General Sessions. May Term 1S71. To the Uonorttblc Hubert /'. Graham Judge of the First Circuit. That in the discharge of their duty as the Grand Inquest ol the County they have endeavored as far as practicable to ascertain all irregularities existing among tho public officers of tha Couuty with the hope that by making ptiblio examples of some of them, tho others ma)' bo delivered from committing like ovils aud misconduct in the future. The TrUI Justiee Cjtirts, ^and ruoro especially as tho laws arc administered through said Courts is fast making said system a nuisance to the good poplo of the County?Instead of being a forum where tho citizens of the County can go I and demand and recievo justice, the justices in a number oi instances iia-o used the power vested in them to extort from the poor and .ignorant citizens of tko County money, by which to enrich themselves?in their greed for gain they are not only willing to overstep the law, forget the responsibility of tho po sition they occupy, but to turn their Courts from tho legitimate of their for mation, to that of speculation aud op p reunion. This result has been brought ubou'. by the apwointment of ignorant men to office together with other cnuser of as serious nature. And it is a well known fact, that ignorance and crime go hund iu hand. The Grand Jury sin cerely hope that the fatvro, will in this particular, be an improvement upon the past. Aud that tho gratifications of the aspirants for these offices, will be intelligence aud honestly, and ihat his Excellency tho Governor of tho Stato will be thoroughly convinced upon these points before, placing iu the hands of any ono man tho power and authority, conferrod by law upou tho justices who prccide over these Courts. In this con nection the G mud Jury would present the following Trial Justices for Official misconduct and rcoommoad that indict incuts bo preferred against thara, John H. Phillips to tho case of the State vs. Charles Corbitt. Witneses to prove the satno, Aloxan- I dor Brown, George W. Baxter and John C. Fnuoin. Also, in the caso of Bolen Phillips and \V. L. Tyler. Witnoses to prove same Bolen Phil lips and W. L. Tyler. James P. Mays, in the case of Edward Jack sun, against J. W. Davis. Witnesses J F. ay and J. W. Davis. The Grand Jury visited the Jail and Poor House. They fouud the Jail in good oon lition and no complaint was made by any of the prisoners confined therein, as \n the manner in which thoy were trcatc 1 and cared for Four of the prisoners in tha Jail of tho County to wit: Ellen Gil Hard, Isabella Gilliard, Julia Fold jr and Delphcue Felder compluino 1 that they had been arrested by Trial Justije John II. Phillips on Friday the 1st diy of May 1874; wero tried on the next diy not being allowed any oppertuntty of procuring witnesses for their defence, and were committed to Jail on tho Mon day following. That they wem tried be fore a Jury, aud lound guilty, and wero tlion required to give bond for their Rood behaviour and to kcop tho peace! Not being able or allowed tc procure bail, thoy were oo nrr.:.ttj 1. to ja'l thire to remain for one year aud a day. These facts were derived from tho said prisoners. If truo tho matter seems te dotnand investigation- The Grand Jery however have had no opportunity of ascertaining further particulars. The Grand Jury found but two per sons in tho Poor House. They ropor ted that they wero well led. That the food was plentiful and well propaired. The Poor Hou*o building hiwover is sidly out of repair and should ot onco bo looked after The building is poor and not at all suitable for thoso unfor tunate persons. The GrandJuryw-.mil reccommend that the County Commis sioners at once furnish the Po>r 11 ;asa with good and comfortable beds and necessary bedding?they would also reccommend that a good privy be build lor the use of the inmates of .tin Poor House. The Grand Jury did not xmt or inspeet the Public OiReors. They felt that the short time allowed to the.u, would preclude any ettun le 1 investi tion of tho?affitirs of these ?flne*. The Grand Jury however have appointed three of their number to wit: Daniel Livingston, J. C. BoZurd and Ccser Holin?:a, to investigate the affairs of tho different Public Offices fr on ISGTi, to tho present time, during the recess of the Court, with power to call to ihuir aid such experts and assistants ns they mny need, in order to make aaid inves tigation through. They h >pc by this moans to be able to arrive at something definite, and to briug to light all irrig u larities and frauds if any should exist and ascertain when .ind by whom tho same wore committed. In ordor to fully carry out this plan of iuvastiga tion thoy would ask that tho Court would make snch order in the promises, as will enable the said Comraitto and its assistant to got possession of all naoos sary books, vouchers, and other papors connected w;th the office of the Treas urers, County Auditor, School Commie sioncr aud County Commissioners and others which said committe desiro to investigate. A number of applications for licenses to sell spirit huh liquors eutsido of incor porated cities and towns wero in accor dance with tho recent act of tho Gener al Assembly presented to tho Grand Jury. Tho Grand Jury are unwilling to recommend tho granting of sueh license. Not on account of the appli cants, for tha Grand Jury aro J satisfied that they are good men, and that they would respect and obey tho law in re gard to retailing. But the Grand Jury is also satisfied, that tho retailing ~r _?;-:?_ i:- ?? ?j i vs? uwm.j satauv'c sew v i ui j k a ist*? a v/aave in the county has not only been the cause of much evil and Ciime, but is calculated to disturb the peaco of every community Theso retails shops * have also done much to demoralize labor, and thus injure tho farming intorcst of tho County. Tho Grand Jury therefore cannot, re commend tho granting of theso liocnoes, for they would thoreby contcnanco evil, pave tho way of crime, and blast in a measure the peace and prosperity of every community, where these retail houses mny be situated.
