Deo<ulsrf trfiVowrye rs.ii ? Before proceeding with our reply to Mr.^Cardozo, let us notice hurriedly his manner of reply. -We simply made the statement that thorc Wcro thirty two defaulting County Trcasutcrs in this State, and that they owed the State nearly four huudrcd thousand dollars. This we got from Cardozo's own report, and if there is a libel contained there in, ho is the guilty culprit, an 1 u it the man who gave it as ho found it. Iiis balderdash dons not affect us. As jou'fnllists it is "our province to give the news to the people, nud if Mr. Cardozo intended.his report only for the Legis lature, to bo read by the members in thcir: rooms and no other place, and for tho purpose of holping through th proprintion bill, then hesJj(^fi^VJ 6rt instructed tho cloi^*^ thc UonK havo.7; rrr Mr..Cardoso's figures ns official. It has never been our practice to ombatk in a war^f. billingsgate, although wc do not deny our capacity to make a proper uso of the frame whenever a pressing opportunity shall be o"'orel} or a fat subject presented as a sacrifice. Our philosophy teaches ois to argue questions calmly and dispassionately, especially Wfyen they affect tho weal or woe of tho State, and he who refuses to do so, is a lVf;S ?U !.?!' a i bigot,;a fool or a slave. That he has treated tho attacks made upon him with contempt,- is no credit to himself or tho poWfibt!'he occupies. It would have been hejllr for him had he explained away all thebad rdmors that havo obtained cir culajjon since his induction into pffi :e. >jyij}. fiardozo is pleased to characterize oUT' editorial ns a "singular oompound oF^gnorahce and malice." Shall we any that he is a single Compound of stupid rooJij [ i -':? ity^.^He may champ the bit, foani aod afftg^^he rolo of injured innocence, but taW r,p*ceple u of South Carolina will regard him as the same Pi J. Cardozo wlfo e'lahdestinely took the Seal of th c $S|e^o^^ew^York for the purpose of sealing ? bonds which he himself no Ifzlofaledges to be fraudulent. Shall no WOCR wnit on him for this ? Certainly the rimeimust come when he will havo to nnsweif for his sins, nud bow, along with others,, bvforc tho chastening hand of justice. It is a fuel, that his c& /fchy iufbas a . > i popularity waneB in proportion as the history of his lifo becomes known to tho usually' comploeent brow waxos into deeper h'nes as this truth grows upon him. His career has been n storm he has ridden succosafully hj and out of,several gradations of lifo, but tho hand of on avonging Ne mesis mu?t sooner or later "impale" our bnld-ccotTreasurer in an inevitable cloud of dark oosourity, and swoep him for ?4 et ettuc? i&'?J -f v ... evor from tho lofty pmmiolo where ho has been perched no long. This will bo Ho the infinite benefit of the State, and tho great seal, whioh delights to per *j[^^ft^^e^tn1n,hcr own borders i*??lJBgW'fitebave to apeak thuspb.ut 1 tuff^e^ old I saying runs, you must "light tho devil with fire, and if Mr. Cnrdozo had not shown in his rash rejoinder to ?nr editorial of last week, that he possessed a tcmpor akin to that of his fatanic majesty, wo should have boon exceedingly amiable in our attitud? towards him. Perhaps though, lie imagines that his position is awe inspir ing, and that (hose who have never had any private conversations with him will not dare to measure arms with tho monied Mogul of the ring. Here he is mistaken. To bo State Treasurer is not to have Aladdin's lamp. Hereafter whou Mr..Card ?so rushes into print let him confine hiuisslf to tho question at issue, and not, in rambling outside, indulge hU taste for billingsgate. The people want no harm to hefall F. J. Cardozo tnoc then he deserves. Caligula wished that the Romans had but one head that he might sever it. No one wishes that of Cardozo an I his confreres, although the- union of c.ime and debauchery at Columbia isonough to sicken ilie dcT?. Mr. Cardoso's fro qucnt use of the words, "absurd con temptible and falshood" only furnishes an iudex to the tenor of his mind. Rut let us ?ay that it will take more than his jackal winnings to dsturb tho c juani miiy of our editorial balance, and his pen dipped in the poison of a tarantula will nor. deter us fro a pursuing tho right course. lie had better quietly utteud to the duties of his office, aud strivo to redeem his lost reputation, which, in our opiuiju, he will find a Carthage not no soon rebuilt. So much I'or Mr. (Vs billingsgate Lot us now examine hit facts. Mr. Cardoso charges Julga Andrews with having got Humbert to cash tho six thousand lollai order which brought, him out a defaulter. In our opinion the State Treasurer wou'd be relejtin; his own interest by having as little to say about the order in questi >u as possible. We charge that ha is as guilty as any one connect.d with tho trans i c tion Judge Androwu an 1 Humhort ac'ed in good faith; the former in re ceiving the money an 1 the l.i'torjn. ! jns?fa '?' Why 'I^^miiasrc~7fie order was f drawn upon^suite fund* and Cordt'*0 accj?pto(l it, endorsed it as <5t??? treasurer, with the pronits.l to pay it as soon' as the appropri.it.i >n bill passed. Upon his endorsement Hum bcrt cashed it. Who is to blame in this? CurdoZ) fiir. cashing the see >ud , or duplicate order or Humbert who paid tho original with the acceptance of the Treasure ? Mr. Cardoso says 'die never reported thirty two County Treasurers'. The devil he didn't ! His reoort is nliii , and upon receiving it a re.s dutioii was passed by the llouso instructing the Attorney General to proceed against defaulters at once. This shows in whit light that, body regarded the parties whom Mr. Cord> zo is now pleased to call debtors. A defaulter means on i who fails to perb.rm a puSlic d ity j particularly oue who fails to account for public money intrusted to his oare. Debtor means a person who owes another either money, go ) Is or servieos . Now. how in the name of conini >u sense can a Treasurer become a debtor with out becoming at the same time a de faulter to the State? Will tho natuto Cardozo inform us. We bolievo that the term debtor is 'more significant in its meaning, and when applied to a County Treasurer and his public relation to the State, leaves no room for any on e to dou'ot the fact of his defalcation. Therotore wo repeat that those whim Cardozo reportod to th-j General Asse n bly as debtors are defaulters, mil that the matter wns so understood by a ma jority of the members of tho Legisla ture. Rut to inako our side stronger let us quote from his reply. Speaking of these defaulters (debtors as he term* them) ho says : -'They are County Treasurers who have not settled for 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 oharged last week. Mr. Cardozo, in concluding his ran dom epistlo quotes a pioco oT Latin which we presume mcaus that a shoe maker should not go beyqnd his last, tbofoby insinuating that as journalists wo ?hould not intrndo tho sacrod pre cir/cta of the Treasury Offlco. It is our pvovinco to put our noso into every public man's business, and wo intend to do so whenever occasion suits. Mr C.V n axim then, dee? not apply to us, besides we thi.uk it more applicable to bim, inasmuch as it is universally bo-' lieved that he was move harmless as a minister than a Treasurer. It is thought tint lio has gouo beyond his last. t Further Proceedings in jthc Trial of Governor Moses? Neiv Counsel in the Case? Motion to Strike the Case from the Docket? Solicitor Du Uz in Earnest; i 1 . J- ! i ? v j di -1 01 f} O j The Columbia dowiHrain of yesterday brought the lions. 11. JJ. Jii'iutt, E. W ' Moiso Counsel for Governor M*scs. Mr. Fhambetmtiu arrived here Friday night, and was busily engaged all tho morning ? ill getting u;> affidavits to show th it the Governor ouulj not get a fair trial here. The Town was crowded to:3ce Govern ir . Moses, hut he did not appetr. At a qu r cr to 112 M. they entered the Court room. Judge Graham then ordered the Sheriff to adjourn the Court of Commou Pleas and call tho Court of Sessions. Sol. ?ut z said thereupon thatth it was the day fixed for tho trial of Moses, and asked the .Judge to turn to c isj numbo r 2 on the criminal docket; Mr Blliott asked that Mr. Moise be entered as one of the Counsel for the defendant. Here Solicitor Hutu ordered the Sheriff to call for F. J. Moses. Jr., three times No answer being returned the following order was asked for. STATE OF SO?TII CAROLINA, UuAMJEiiuiiii County, In tub Gkneral Skssions. May Term 137-t.' The State vs .lohn L. Ilunibert an 1 Frank 1 n J.

Moses, Jr., onu of tho above dole nd ants is not under rccoguizauco to up pear for trial in the above stated case, an 1 failed in answer when called, on notion of C \V. Iluttz, Solicitor, it is ordere 1 that a Bench Warrant be forthwith issued and executed to co.npel.the at teu Ja iee vf the .?aid Franklin J.

Moses, Jr., at this term of this Court for trial and to abide tho farther urdj.- of this Court. Judge Graha n desire 1 to hear Com - sol for defendant first, Mr. Chamberlain requested this. Solicitor Iluttz objected, His Honor had already signed a similar order, upon which a bench warrant Was issued. At the request of Moses he was allowed to give bail before the Clerk of tho Court of Rich'and County. Moses had not done this, and even re sisted an arrest by tho Sheriff by calling out. the Militia to protect him. Tho defendant has no rights in Court uutil he obeys the order issued from it. His Counsel had pledged that he would bo here for trid, upon which ho hid acted and presumed the Court had also. He is not iu Court, sets at defiance its authority, and yet asks tobe heard by Counsel. Should he not be arrested, he may abscond before the ucxt term. His Honor was bound to protect tho dignity of his ollioe, and show the do fendatit that he must not defy the law. Judge Graham remarked that he would haye to lot the law take its courxOj and inasmuch as Mo.se? had faild to appear, that a beuch Wiriuut would issue under the general order at the close of the term, and c.iuse his appear ance at the next term of Court. To this Solicitor Buttz dissouteJ, und desired to make the following objection, to the counsel for M oh es biiug heard, before taking his sent: STATIC OF SOUTH CAROLINA, OiiAN(ii:nuii<i Cut;nty, The State vs John L. Humbert and Franklin J? Moses, Jr. Breach of Trust with Fraudulent In tent ion and Grand Larceny. Charles W. Buttz, Solicitor 1st Judi cial Circuit appearing for the State in the above entitled case, hereby presents to the Court, the following objections in wi tting to the Court's court niaing any preliminary motion in behalf of the defendant Franklin J. Mosos, Jr., with a view of changing tho place of trial uutil such time as the Faid defendant shall ho arrested and comply with tho former order of'this Court. 1st. The" Grand Jyry having f>und a True Bill, and a Bench Warrant having bceu issued by the Court, tho said defendant, Fi J. Moses, Jr., did resist an officer of this Court by calling out tho Militia nf the State to prcvout tho execution of said warrant, und does still defy the nuthoiily of the Court to arrest and try.him for the said offence, thereby treating the . Court with con tempt. 2d. That the said dofondinl since the issuing of the said Bench Warrant did telegraph to one Willi tin Gurney at Charleston, South Carolina, to tho effect that he had not bo?n arrested and would not allow himself to bo arrested under or by virt?? of "any authority of th'iM Court,'thoraby>'publishiug to the law-abiding citizons of tho State, his utter disregard' of law and good order, nod placing hitusolf in contempt of this Court. 3d. The defendatid hnving denied the jurisdiction of this Court to cither ar rest or try him, should not be heard by the Court through b-is attorneys, until he is taken into I custody, or appear in persou and purges litmsolf of said oon tempt. That on tho 19th lost., the Tlon. D. II. Chamberlain and lion. 11. B- El liott uppearud in Op?n Court ami repro sonled themselves as th attorney of the d- fendnnt I>\ J. Moses Jr., and mo vo t this Court for two orders which fixed this,29th day of May as tho time, and OrtiHgeburg as tho plnao of tria 1 for the said'defendant, the other was for an ?rdor for tho severance of the defon dants on their trial., The.St ito objo ctod to the Court grafting cither of the above inentioued ortlors on 'tho follow 'nr grounds: That tho deTentt-int Mi scs was not in custody an l h id not be in arrested and that the Court bKouI'J not fix the duy of trial until alter the St ito was in a position to pro luee the ac mko I , and further that preliminary tuition of this kind should not be entertained until after the" arrnihgbmcnt of the prisoner. In urging the Court to grant the said motions, tho said attorneys rep resented to your Honor that they were authorized by their client Moses to assure tho Court that ho Moses rocog nized the full jurisdiction of ibis Court to arrest and try him for the said of fen CO, and thoy further assured the Court that the defendant M kjs w mid be this day present for tlie trial] mil upon the'so assurances tho Oonrt tjrwi ted said motions and suspend*I further proceedings to.cause the nrro.tt of the aaid Mosos, sitter which time tho said defendant in utter disregard of Law and of the assurances made to this Com t b y tho said attorneys, has ctllel out the Militia of the Stato for tho purpose ol preventing the oxecurion of tho procoid of this County ,thereby disregarding the oath of his office which h id been duly administered by the Chief Justice of the State to the clfeet that he would execute the Laws and not violato or obstruct their enforcement. nth. That in addition to the offence for which the said defen hint has been iiiUieWl he has ad led the offence de scribed in Section* 1, Chapter h32 o! the lib Vised Statutes'- of the State which imposes a punishment of both fine an 1 imprisone.out updU any tm 1 (iuclud ing Mo.'fs and too Militia*) for hinter iug or obstructing an >.ii ? r i i ex >.: itin : tho warrant t?F this Cnirt.

Mr. Moiso of Sututer followed on the side of the Governor, lie was h ue to say that no true bill had be.:n foilo d against Moses, and therefore no bench warrant had been issued, and could nit be issued, lie had a great respeet for, law. He could not livo without it. Iiis speech was high spun ling, bu'. did not contaiu hiuoh ldw> The Court hero took a roccss for dinner. At 3 o'clock .1'. M. it again convened. General ISilt?tt who stated that Mr. Chatnborl.iin wiuld nit spaik, desired to know at this .-?tige of the pro ? 000JingS;wh.0 had the reply. llosiid that until the Court decided as to tho question of jurisdiction raised, a motion to continue could net be hoard. Solicitor Bltttz could not understand the position of counsel. They were only allowed to . be heard through cour tesy, as friends to the Court, und could not understand how the Court emld regard them as properly representing a right to speak iu defense o:' Moses. Tho Judge had said that ho wonld hear Moiso because ho desired to gain all the information on the subject he could get, as to his jurisdiction, but did not bay that ho would hear him as counsel lor Moses Judge?Mr Bultz, tho speech of Mr. Moisc has impressed tue. What I want to know is whether this C >Urt his jurisdiction or not. Solicitor Btittz : That's not the question at issue. IIc can't raise any such objection under the present cir etinistauccs. It ho had submitted to an arrest, appeared in Court, then his counBol would have had a right to raise the plea of JuHsdicttftrtii Hut if tho Court had formod' an opinions then it would be useless for him to go further. Court?Had not form oil an opinion, and thought it to bu tho duty of Court to hear the opinion of others iu so grave a matter. Sol. Buttz--Tho defendant's counsel have only a ight to plead to the juris 1 tliction of this Court after tho arraign ment of Moses. Moise assumod that Mosos wa-c* Governor and tho court was bound to take cognizance of tho fact. That the Solicitor contended tho court could not do with any proper respect for itself. To show that the defendant is Governor, the couusel would havo to prove it. That, they could not do. until they were properly before Court. Tho records didn't show that the defend int was Governor of the State; then is not one line of proof to that effect. He is indicted as a privato citi/.on and should stand his trial. If ho is above the power oT the law then he can do what ho ploascs, and uo one date to molest him. Didn't do c how his lion >r could hear any argu merit on this point until after the ar raignment of Moses; certainly he could not hear testimony unless it w.is proved that he was Governor. Court :?I do know that Moses is Governor. I know this judicially be cause the law tells mo so. Sol. Buttz:?Don't seo how your Honor can know that, lor if the truth was known, there may turn oat t> ho one thousand Frank lind. Mosas, Jr.,-in this State. He did not think tit it the person named in the in lictmont could be Franklin J. Moses Jr , Governor of th c Stato, because it is unreason ibloto sup pose that the chief Executive of the State ooul 1 so far forget hi itself a* to commit grand larceny. It would take a bold man to say that tho tio/erno r would steal 80,000. Court:?1 havo sufficient knowledgo ] of the fsct that the F. J.

That he did so as a sworn , Attorney, after can ful labor and study . \ II Musts wife to take the advice of j Democrat.*, hi would nut only resist th e 1 law. but go and voliuturiliy lo:k hiuisdf I up ;ii the Penitentiary. As Solicitor he j had taken hie o.itli of oiTuc in ourucat, { and meant to prosecute evoi'y mau who did wrong who was at I e age of dis cretion. If Moses' friends desired to make political Capital out of the matter, he had no stock in it< He was simply doing his duty. His iiupiisonmeu t iu I jail would not incapacitate hi a tr im I performing the duties oFG >vernor. His ubilily to act assUch wou'.d bo the sam.'. Inability only follows imp :aeh u nit, therefore the argument of Moses Coun sel must fall to tho gro ml. We have tin otficc that is almost above tho Gover nor. He is the peaco officer in every county. He cau call a posse whenever he deems it proper. That officer is the Sheriff. The executive is liuitol iu his power. Hero Solicitor B utz real a paper which was full of law and good sound reasoning, showing that the exe cutive can bo arrested. The toUit had issued all tho papers in the case, and it would look rather strange to refuse to enforce an order, after delivering it to the Sheriff. Court?Since heat ing Solicitor Buttz was imprcsEod muoh more so than when Mr. Moise quit. Sol. ButtZ?Co which side your Honor ? Hero General Elliott ar >.s; lie said that he felt timid in approaching so grave a constitutional question, but as he was hero to represent the HXecittlve of a sovereign people, ho would endeavor to do the subject justice Tho question is, enn Gov. Moses bo arrested before im peachment ? '1 lie constitution says that he shall not bo until after removal fro n office. General Elliott's speech was very strong and lasted about two hours. Sol. Buttz :?Listened to argument with a great deal of patience* Iu one sense his rpeech was. a tirado against the attorney for the State, and nothing more He had not supposed it to bo an unpardonable sin to give out a hill of indictment against the Governor. IIo did it in discharge of his duty. Mr. Elliott's speech was pleasing to eunho ny but coo Ufa c<I do law to negative the charge that Moses could not be ar rested. AVherc the constitution says that the Governor shall jbc anarjablo to the law, lor a wroqg doueduriii j his inciimbciicy in,office, after impoioh inent, the moaning is that tho ploi of impeachment shall not operate as a bar to a trial before a jury. That is that the Governor canuot say that I have been already tried and convicted, and you cannot try mc the second time Solicitor Buttz conclude 1 by saying that ho had no animosity iu tho matter, no personal spite to gratify, and only wanted the sanction of his conscience. That assured hjm that ho had dono his duty. Counsel for defendant had char ged improper motives to him. Perhaps in their ycal for their client, they forgst tho high duty he owed to the people. Whenever a man docs wrong, bis friends always say that the prosecut ing Attorney is heartloss. They do this in many instances through ignorance; the counsel for the defen laut arc in - tciligcnt, and know as well as I do, that in this case 1 have done my duty and no more If there was any haste iu the matter, it did not come from me. I simply gave out a bill up ?n the papers handed to uio. Here his Honor decided to rcscr\o his decision as to his jurisdiction, and to continue the caso till uext court. In justice again to Solicitor Butts and Judge Graham, we have to repeat that they have acted throughout, iu the case, In a manner which shows tluir high appreciation of too responsibility rest ing upon them. The C ivil night* Bill. Tho following is the full text of this bill, as amended and passed by the Senate early on Saturday morning : SECTION 1 hat all citizens and other persons within tho jurisdiction of the United States idiull bo cutitlcd to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inus, public convey ances on land or water, theutres and 1 other places of public a uns em Mit, and also ol common schools und public insti tutions of learning or benivdcnoo. sun ported'xin wbnlo or in part by general j taxation, and of ceuia^orien so supported.
