Had^wo known that he was so thin skinned, howovcr, wc should havo touch - cd MhVwniniog baby more doliu.it :ly, and'applied soft soap and Mrs: Wins low's ' Soothing Syrup, where wo piled on the lash. Ho;refuses to answer our questious except by abuso of ourselves. That is bis rigurV** ?ttisn^c^ncfn? 'sc Hebet. nisc coram ? Before proceeding with our reply to Mr.jjGardozo, let U6 notice hurriedly his manner.'of.reply; We simply inado the Statement 'that there were thirty two defaulting County Trcnsuicrs in this State, aud that they owed the State nearly four huudred thousand dollars . This we got from Cardozo's own report, and if'there is a libel eoataiu^d there in, he is the guilty culprit, an 1 nit the man who'gays it as he found ib. His balderda^hl-does not affect us. As jou'rnilists it is our provinco to give the newYtoHhe people, and if Mr. Cardozo r &os iv/ttyit fii . intended.his report only for the Legis lature, to bo read by the members in their, rooms and no.other place, and for the purpose of holping through the aj pr?priation bill, then^^J^^T^i so Mr. .Cardoso.'8 figures as official. It has never been our practice to embark in a waVof;billingsgate, although wc do not deny pur enpacity to mako a proper use of, t^e frame whenever a pressing opportunity shall be oTorel, or a fat suhjs^prejjeptod as a sacrifice Our philosophy teaches us to argue.question3 co^nTy*"'^hd' dispassionately, especially when'lhey a'fTect the weal or woe of the State, aap, he who refuses to do so, is it bigot},^ fool or a slave. That ho has trfated;tho attaoks made upon him with ctftitenrpt,- is no credit to himsalf or tho poairmn?he occupies. It would have been cVliim had he explained away all tb^Jl^^r^lnora, that havo obtained cir enja^o^yifc his induction into office. ;Mjp- ?ardOzo is plcnsod to oharacto rjze our- Editorial' as a "singular compound of ignorance and malice." Shall we say tnaJ^Ve^ijTa ainr/lc compound of stupid ity^.^He may champ the bit, foam aud af^^yxe rolo of injured innocence, but tho people of South Carolina will regard 'him as the same F. J. Cardozo wfio'^fifl'cBtinely took the Seal of th e S'tateTo*^^. Yorkfor tho purpose of sealing., bonds which ho himself ao knowledges to be fraudulent. Shall uo toVwhit on hiiii for this ? Certainly the titna rnwi come when he will have to answer'.'for his sins, and bow, along ?frith others,, before tho chastening hand of justice. It is a fac!. that bis popularity wanes in proportion as the Mftfciry *f'his life becomes known to tho people, and that tho placidity of his risually ' ??omplaoent brow waxes into flbcpef' 1/dcB as this truth grows upon nf tty?ttfayiS t?J W^to^uBS8 fiOaroer has bean a storm wbercW ho has ridden suocossfuliy th rough,' an d ouL o t r sc venil gnida t ion a of life, bntrthe hand of an avenging Ne mesis must sooner or later "imp-: V our bald-coot Treasurer in an inevitable cloud of-dark obscurity, and ftwocp him for tH^L^^V^^kfiiiJotiy pinnaolo whoro ho h?ri been perohed so long. This will bo Mo the . infinite benefit of the State, and :th?r.great sohl, whioh delights to por ->i- ?* bc^rat^o, Mve.'io spa^kibua^hiit * alfr^e^^^sliyiri^runs, you must'fight the daVil jwith^ro, and if Mr. Cardozo had not shown in his rash rejoinder to ?up editorial of last week, that he possessed a tcmpor akin to that of his satanic majesty, wo should have boon exceedingly amiablo iu our attitude' towards him. Perhaps though, ho imagines that his position is a wo inspir ing, and that those who "have novo? had any private conversations with him will not dare to measure arms with the mooted Mogul of the ring. Hero he is mistaken. To bo State Troasurer is not to have Aladdin's lamp. Hereafter when Mr. Card ?so rustles into print let him confine hiuiflslf to tho question st issue, and not, in rambling outside, indulge hl? taste for billingsgate. Tho people want no harm to befall F. ,1. Cardoso moc then ho deserves. Caligula wished that the Hornaus had but one head that he might sever it. \Ti5 one wishes that of Cardoso and his confreres, although tho- union of Oi'imo and debauchery at Cu'u-nbia isonough to sicken the devil. Mr. Cardoso's fro qucnt use of the words, "abmrd con tcmp'.iblc and fal.diooi" only furnishes an iudex to the tenor of his mind. Rut let us pay that it will take more th in his jackal winnings to dsturb tho c juanl mity of our editorial balance, aud his pen dipped in tho pois m of a tarautal-i will not deter us fro a pursuing tho right course, lie had better quietly utteud to the duties of his olhcc, nud strive to redeem his lost reputation, which, in our opiuijti, he will find a Carthage not no soon rebuilt. So much lor Mr.Ca. billingsgtto. I<ot us now examine hi* facts. Mr. Cardozocharges Judge Andrews with having got Humbert to cash tho six thousand lollar order which brought him out a defaulter. In our opi-iion the State Treasurer wou'd br* r??sjtin ' his own interest by having as littlo to say about the order in question as possible. We charge that ho is as guMty as any oueconncct:d with tho trans 1 c tion Judge Androwit an I 11 um bort ac'cd in good faith ; the former "to ro ceiviug the money an! to* l.t tor in jv^jig Why '!^^?mj?*c~~ft\<i ordor W;1S * draw a iipon^5iato fundi and CardV*0 B5fi*pwd it, endorsed it as v>'t:>f.''T^rcasurcr, with the promise to pa y it ns so6n? as the appropri.it.im bill passed. Upon his endorsement IT urn bert cashed it. Who is to blame ia this? C-ifdoz) for.Disking thesociud , or duplicate order or Humbert who paid the origin til with the acceptance of tho Treasure-? Mr. Cardozo says "thc never reported thirty-two County Treasurers. The devil ho didn't! Hii report is plii-i , and upon receiving it a resolution was passed by the House instructing the Attorney Genera) to proceed against defaulters at once. This shows in wh it light that body regarded the pirties whom Mr. Corxhso is now pleased to call dob tori. A defaulter moans om who fails to periLrin a public duty ; particularly oue who fails to account for public money intrusted to his care, Debtor means a person who owes another either money, goods or services . Now. how iti the name of common sense can a Tr?nsurer become a debtor with out becoming at the same time a de faulter to tho State? Will the astuto Cardozo inform us. We believe thnt the term debtor is 'more significant in its meaning, and wh<m applied to a County Treasurer and his public relation to the State, loaves no room for an)' one to doubt tlio fact of his defalcation. Therefore wo repont that those whnu Cardozo reportod to the General Assen bly as debtors are defaulters, aril that the matter was so understood by a ma jority of the uieaibors of tho Legisla ture Hut to mako our side stronger let us quote from his reply. Speaking of these defaulters (debtorj as he terms them) ho says : -'They nro Comity Treasurer* who have not settled far the years previous to the induction into office of the present Treasurer and Comp troller General.'' Ou this point it is useless to say more. Mr. Cardozo admits what wo olmrged last wock. Mr. Cardozo, iu concluding his ran dom epistlo quotes a pioco of Latin which we presumo means that a shoo, maker should not go bcytfnd his last, tboVoby insinuating that as jourualists we should not intrndo the'sacred pro et riots, of the Treasury Oflleo. It is our provinco to pot our nose into every public man's business, and wo intend to do so whenever occasion suits. Mr C.'b nnxitn then, docs not apply to ns. besides \vc think it more applicable to him, inasmuch ua it is universally , bo-4 lioved that he was more harmless us a minister;- than a'Treasurer. It is tagugwi that_ ho'has gone,beyond his last. Further Proceedings ifr: (he Trial of Governor Moses? Hfew Counsel in the Case? Motion to Strike the Case from the Docket? Solicitor ISutizin E.arntvst. a The Columbia dowu*truin of yesterday brought the Hons, lt. B. JilUutt, E. W Moiso Counsel for Governor M*scs. Mr. Phambetftihf arrived hero Friday nighc, and was busily engaged all tho morning j in gelling up affidavits to show th it Mie Governor could uot got a fair (.rial here. The Town was crowded to sco Governor . Moses, hut ho did uot appexr. At u qu r cr to 12 M. they entered the Court room. Judge Ordiam then ordered the Sheriff to adjourn the Court of Coaimon Pleas and call the Court of Sessions. Sol. But z said theroupou that th it yr&s the day fixed for tho trial of Mosos, and asked the Judge to turn to c ise nuuibo r 2 on the criminal docket. Mr Elliott asked that Mr. Moisc bo entered as ono of the Counsel for the defendant, llorc Solicitor H?ttz ordered the Sheriff to call for F. J. Moses, Jr., three times No answer beihg returned the Following order was asked for. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 0 a a n it tin; iui C o u n t y , In tub Gkneraei Skssions. May Term 1874.

Moses, Jr., at this term of this Court for trial and to abide the farther ordj* of this Court. Judge Grahan desirel to heir Com - sei for defendant first. Mr. Chamberlain requested this. Solicitor Butts objected, His Honor had already signed a similar order, Ufon which a bench warrant was issued. At the request of Moses he was al'owcd to give hail before the Clerk of tho Court of Richhiud County. Moses had not done thL?, und evun re sisted an arrest by tho Sheriff by calling out the Militia to protect Iii in. Tho defendant has no rights in Court until he obeys the order itsucd from it, His Counsel had pledged'that ho'would-be here for tri A, upon which ho h id acted niid presumed the Court had also. He is not lu Court, sets at defiance its authority,^ and yet asks tobe hear! by Counsel. Should he not be arrested, he may abscond before the uext term. His Honor was bound to pr?toot tho dignity of his office, and show the do I'cndant that he must n it defy the law. Judge Graham remarked that he i would have to lottdie law take its courxei rand inasmuch as Mo.jcs had faild to appear, that a beuch Warraiit would issue under the general order at the close of the term, und cause his appear ance at the next term of Court. To this Solicitor Butts' diasentel, and desired to make the following objection, to the counsel for'Mosos being heard, before taking his seat: STATU OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Oranoebuko County, The State vs John L. Humbert and Franklin J. Mosos, Jr. Breach of Trust with Fraudulent In tent ion aud Grand Larceny. Charles W. Huitz, Solicitor 1st Judi cial Circuit appearing for the Stute iu tho above entitled case, hereby presents to the Court, the following objections in writing to tho Court's cnte-.rt aiuihg any preliminary motion in behalf of the defendant Franklin J. Moses, Jr., with a view of changing the place of trial until such timo as the paid defendant, shall ho arrested and comply with tho former order of'this Court. 1st. The Oraiid Jury having found a True Bill, and a Bcnoh Warrant having bcou i?sue.d hy the.., Court, tho. said defendant, V. J. Moses,' jr., did resist an officer of (his Court ( by calling out the Militia of the State to prcvout tho execution of said warrant, and docs Ftill defy the nuthoiity of the t 'ourt to nrrcst and try.him for the Raid Qjfou.cc, thereby treating the . Court with con tempt. 2d. That the said defendant since the issuing of the said Bench Warrant did telegraph to one Willi tin Qurney at Charlostou, South : Carolin?, to tho effect that he had not boe'n/arrested and I would uot allow himself to bo arrested under or by . virtue of any authority of this'? :Courjb,-'thereby publishiug to the law-abiding-; citizens of tho State, his UttSdiareWrdJUfir^nt and good order, and placing'hiinsolf in contempt of this. Court. : 3d. The defendant having doniod the jurisdiction of this Court to either ra rest or try him, should not bo heard by th* .Court through'}i.is attorneys, until he is taken iuto J custody, or appear Iii persou aud purges himself of said oon tentpt. That on the 19th tost.,'' tho Tlon. P. Tl. Chamberlain and Hon. R: Ii- El liott appeared in Open 'Court1 and repre sented themselves as tha attornoy ol the d- foudnnt F. J. Mosas Jr., and inovol this Court for two orders which fixed this. 20th day of May as.tho time-, and OraHgohurg as the pla^o of tria \ for tho said'defendant, the- nthec whs for nn order for tho soveratico of the defon-' dants on their trialj The?St-itoobjo ctod to the Court grafting cither of the above mentioned orllors on tho follow-' nj grounds: That tho defendant Mi 8cs was not in custody an l h id'not be Id arrested and that tho Court shoul1 not fix the day of trial until aftor tha Stito was in a position to pro lu3o the ac mso I , and further that preliminary motio n of this kind should '-.not bo eh terrains'd until after tire' amihgb incut of the prisoner. Iu urging the Court to graut the said motions, tliu said attorneys rop resented to your Honor that they were authorized by tl air client Moses to assure tho Court thnt ho Moses feeog nized the full jurisdiction of thia Court to arrest aud try lriiti for the said of fence, and thay further assured the Court that the defendant Mhos would be this day present for tho tri il, and upon theso assurances the Court grin ted said motions and suspended further proceedings to cause the arrest of the said .Moses, muco which titno the said dol'cndaut in titter disregard of Law and of the assurances made to this Coutt b y the said attorneys, has cilled out tho Militia of* the State for the purpose ol proveutiug the oxecution of the procoss of this County ,thereby disregarding the oath of his orlico which had b ;e:i duly administered by the Chief Justice of the State to the effect that ho would execute the Laws and not. violate or obstruct their enforcement. 5th. That, in addition to the offence for which the said defendant has been iudictel he has ad led tho offence de scribed in Section"!-,'Chapter MS2 ol the Revised Statutes'-) of tho Statu which imposes a punishment of both fine and imprison o.out u?d.o. any ouo (hinlud ing Moies and tlio Miutiii) for hinder ing or obstructing-up tdi-.ria exeet'.io ? the warrant of llu4 Ciurt. Tho la V ralso niak^s it tin duty of t 10 Sheriff to proeecute said ulLudjrs lot" nuj'.. ?cbitructiouj.

Moses was in contempt, grossly, of the Court, :ind he could n >t sod why the Court should hesitate so to de:ido. Mr. Moiso of Sum tor followed on tho side of the Governor, lie was hero to say that no true bill had been foui d against Moses, and therefore no bench warrant had been issuul, and could not be issued. He had a groat rcspoot for, law. He could not livo w'thoutit. Hit speech was high spun ling, bu'. did not contain hiuoh law. Tho Court hero took a rocess for dinner. At 3 o'clock I\ M. it again convened. Central Elliott who stated that Mr. Chamber! tin would mt spot";, desired to know at this sttgu of tho pro - caediugs who had the reply. Lie Slid that until the Court decided as to tho question of jurisdiction raised, a motion to continue could not be hoard. Solicitor Butts could not understand the position of counsel. They were only allowed to.be heard through cour tesy, as friends to the Court, aud could uot understand how the Court eould regard them as properly representing a right to speak iu defense o* Mosas. Tho Judge had said that ho would hear Moiso because ho desired to gain all the information on the subjoot he could get, as to his-Jurh?dictloii, but did uot say that ho would hear him as counsel for Moses Judge?Mr Iluttz, tho speech of Mr. Moiso has impressed me. What I want to know is whether this CoUrt his jurisdiction or not. Solicitor Butt?: Th at's not the question at isguc. lie can't raise any such objection uudor the present cir cumstituecs. It ho had submitted to an arrest, nppcarad in Court, then his counsol would have had a right to raise the pica of jurisdiction. Hut if tho Court had formed' art opiuions then it would be useless for him to go further. Court-T-Ilua not I'onnod an opinion, and thought dt? to bo tho duty of Court to hoar the opinion of others in so gravo a matter. Sol. Iluttz--Tho dofon lant's counsel have only a ight to plead to tho juris diction of this Court after tho arraign ment of Moses. Moisc assumod ' that Mosos wa<Govcrnor and tho court was bound to '.ako cognizance of the fact. That the Solicitor contended tho court could not do with any proper respcot for itself. To show that the dofendant is GoYcruor, tho couuscl would havo to prove it. That they could not do, until they were properly before Court. Tho records didn't show that tho defend int was Governor of the State; there is not ono line of proof to that effect. He is indicted as a privato citizen and should stand his trial. If ho is above the power of tho law then ho can do what ho pleases, and no one daro to molest htm; Didn't so 0 how his Honor could hear auy argu mctit on this point until after the ar raignment of Moses; certainly he could not hear testimony unless it was proYod ? hat he was Governor. Court. :?I do know that Moses is Governor. I know this julicially be cause the law tells mp so. Sol. Huttz :?Don't seo how your Honor can know that, tor if the truth was known, there may turn out t> ho one thousand Frank lin J. Moses, Jr., in this State. He did not think tint the person named in the in lictmbnt could be Franklin .1. Moses Jr., Governor of th c Stato, because it is unreason iblo to sup pose that tho chief Executive of the State ooul 1 so far forget hi nself as to commit grand larceny. It would take a bold man to say that tho Gororuo r would Meal $6,000. Court:?I have sufficient knowlcdgo of the feet that the F. J. Moses men lionud in tt/i i 1 It it tii r. is the Cover j tier ol the State and therefore is'< again whether he cut be arrestj 1 n- 11 it. Solicitor Hut tz ? They claim that this Co- it hits, no jurisdiction. Moiso claimed that t!iu wheels of G ivern.nent would Mop if Me?e* were arrested.; Such would uot be thu e is ?. As a I Deinoorael, of c u -.se ho. M )i->e, would J advise a Uep.ubfiy.tiu ij ?et at d:"uuco j the l.r.vs of a llepubllcan Govern ne?t. j Such Was wrong. He snM in open Court, ! that in answer to a teL-grtm hs advised ' the deli1 riant to rc=t>t tho warrant of j arrest. That ho did so as a swot'n Attorney, after Cartful labor aud study . j It Moats were" tii take the itdvico of Democrat*, In Would not only resist tho J la v. but go and volnit iriliy lock hitns,'if j up in the I'enitontiary. As Solicitor he j had taken hid oath of ofTue in earnest, j and luoaut to prosecute evci'y mau who did wrong who was at t 0 age of dis cretion. If MbsuT friends desired to make political Capital out of the matter, ho had no stock iu it; He was simply doing his duty. His imprisonment iu jail would nut incapacitate hi a'froth performing the duties of G iVerubr. His ability to act as stielt Would be the s.iun. Inability only follows i up :.i:h n snt, therefore the argument of Moses Couu sol must fall to tho gro tui. We luvo on office that is almost above tho Gover nor. Ho is the peaco officer in every j county. lie cau call a posse whenever ho deems it proper. That officer is the Sheriff. The executive is liuitel in his power. Hero Solicitor 11 itta real a paper which was full of law and good sound reasoning, showing that the c"o CUtive can be arrested. The court had issued all tho papers in the oase, aud it would look rather Strangs to re f us j to enforce nn order, after delivering it to the Sheriff. Court?Since heating Solicitor Huttz Was impressed muoh more so than when Mr. Moise quit. Sol. Huttz?Ou which side your Honor ? Here General Elliott ar >sj He s.iid that he felt timid in approaching so grave a constitutional question, but as he was hero to rcpresout the Executive of a sovereign people, he would endeavor to do the subject justice Tho question is, can Gov. Moses bo arrested beforo im peachment ? '1 he constitution says that he shall not bo until after roruoval" fro n office. General Elliott's speech was very strong aud lasted about two hours. Sol. Huttz :?Listened to argument with a great dc il of .pationco. Iu one sense his speech was. a tirado against the nttornoy for the Stata, and nothing more. . He had not suppjsod it to bo an unpardonable- sill to give out a bit} of indict men t against the Governor. He did it in discharge of his duty. Mr. Elliott's speech was pleasing to cupho ny but contained no law to negative the charge that Moses could uot.-h? *ri reBted. Wher'e^ the -^usVitutioo says that tho Governor shall Dm aateHablof to the law, for nLVrron&.done durid* hia> incumbency in ^office* after im poach'' ment, the meaning is that'tho pttii 'of impeachment shall not operate as a bar to a trial before a jury. That is that the Governor cannot nay that I have been already tried and convicted, and you cannot try me the second time Solicitor Uuttz conclude 1 by saying that ho had no animosity in ho matter, ' no personal spite to gratify, and ouly wanted the sanction of his conscience. That assured hjm that ho had done his duty. Counsel for defendant had char god improper motives to him. Perhaps in their ycal for their client, they forgDt, tho high duty he owed to the people. Whenever a man does wrong, his friends always say that the prosecut ing Attorney is heartless. They do this in many instances through ignoranco; the counsel for the defendant arc iu tclligcnt, aud know as w.:ll as I do, that in this ease I havo done my duty and uu moro If trore was any linste iu the matter, it did not come from me. I simply gave out a bill up >u the papers handed to mo. Here hia Honor dcuided to rcBct*vo his decision as to his jurisdiction, aud to continue the caeo till next court. Ju justice again to Solicitor Duttz and Judge Graham, we have to repeat that they have acted throughout, in the case, lu a manner which shows their high appreciation of toe responsibility rest ing upon them. The Civil ltighis Bill.
