Cardozo, (oolored) eattor of Korahav, and the ktwo u-do.ed senators, Jervey and .1ud (in ii rd, of Charleston, have so tr~r acted with the Conservatives in fightiti the printing frauds. There may be other Itopublican members, but they do not now ocour to my mind. It, has to coma to light that *rom014 1i:14 bOn A siT., nUSINESS DISARUANGEMENT between Moses ".. Nroatglo. 'i'ho no &ounIts of the matter ha-,. 'non some. 'what ex .aggerated, and sonnmilu !,. 1correct. I have put myself to the trouble of getting the true facts of the 'ot.se, atid they areas follows : During the c.unpaYnii of 1872, Mosea borrow 'ed from loster Blodgett, now of owlhti y, sundry amounts of imlonev, and gave therefor sundry notes en .dorsed by J. L. Neraglo. Tho notes we; due last spring or winter. In 'order to (1 'iet Blodgett and prevent a prosisne of tho ollection of tle notes, '.ses of his owu neeord inti mated to blodgett that his (Blo A.got t'.) bol watS a suitable man for the inoeo <of comuity treasurer of Nowberry, -n1d that lie meant to appoint him to thpo la ition. Upon this understand ii'g lilt tigett allowed the notoS to stand over. But Moses did not stand up to his agreenint, and Blodgett p laer d t ho notes in suit atnd recovered judgment. Last week the levy was ordero-l, and \loses having no visible eifoets, the shieriff attached Neaglo's Iridge, which is the best paying properthy that the ox-comiptroller owns. 'I'hereupon the latter became quite in digant, and being about 'ri n :i.: SH E-:'re I~ NT'HE W IN I), swore eternal vengeanee against Mose's, anid declared that he would kill himi unless the money was im medi ately paid and the levy upon his i ilga released. "If' Moses wvere poor," maid Neagle, "and could not pay bias debts, I would not grumble and would meet these obligations, but lhe ht.; got as much or more prop es ty th.n I Itmve, and I wvill not be senmdled in any such manner. lie hias to snop this levy an my property (ir I wiil stop his life." Honest John 1atterson hearing these ro itartks, aind feeling a warm interest jin theo continiued existence of the Giover'a.r, drove down to the exeu tivoeul'ico and sent a hurried note donimnding iummend iate conferenee. He~ wasromptly admitted, and told Niohiti tei ctry as it was, abating nothng adedolaring that Neagle would tirely kill the Governor tinless the levy was immediately stopped. W bmy, said Moses, tramulotus with aip pirhenjun, "I will fix it all right if ho ni'il only give me a littlo time. I'.t torsoni, can't you go tip and a N engle and quiet bi'mt a l'ittto ?"' '"( o and see him,"' said Patterson, "none ohf that for me-he would as sIon shoot me1 aus you, and 1 am not going to jeoptardiae my carcass in any m.uih way, and I would adlviso you not to r ik yonrself' outtsido of your office tutil S on havye had this matteor air ronged."'

It does not con fine itself to matters pertaining t govern ment, but invades the spher of relli:on, and endeavors to fraim laws for society. It too frequentl: forms the criterion for doterminuin the fitnoss of aspirants for public po sitions whoso very nutuio and 'th duties they impose would scom t forbid the preadifoo of any influono save that springing froin a high sons of duty. The 'auso of this uudu power of politics is found in the na ture of our government. It is th constant' dhn, 'not onl-y of politician and demagogues, but of teachers an writers on political sok'nce, to in press their followers and pupils wit the magnitude of the citizen's rights and the duty of all to aspire to th enjoyment of tho'higelist of thei. Nor is this teaching confined to th sphero of those whom we have mn tioned ; it invados the sacred domai of religion,- and the pulpit, instead o being the herald of "peace on cart[ good-will towards men," is made t porform the part of a political new journal, in lauding the deeds of on party, and denounding 't'lh faults c another. Nowhere is the evil of this-stato c things more readily aind forcibly 'Vrt sented than in South Carolina. 'thI negro, naturally enthusiuisti and fai of sensatiou and novelty, has been A constantly exhorted to a due Dppic ciaticn of his inmnenso privilege that he lains so echterea his tiough upon alS 0110 thome as to.be not ur frcquontly negligent of those thing that pertain to his happin is and material well-boint. Farm-wor is frequently abandoned, in favor < a political gathering or uninIIob parade, and both planter and laborc made to auffer. We have known more than one instanco in whiich imijority of the laborers on a fart have had "orders" to leave work an moet at the county-seat to listen t political harangues, and thiU too, i in the midst of an active oampnaig but whon thero would seei to be n possiblo need of any such demonstri tion. Much harmi is likewise dono b "runners'' who, having nothing bett4 to do, visit the different farnms, enlighton their colored brethren upc what is going on in the polities world, thus causing further interrn[ tion of, work and much injury to LI labor or. We have not spaet enumerate the numerous bad result of this excess of polities, but th ca sea cited are suflicent to show tb general principles involved. We are of course aware that tI negro gives but little hood to tLI advice of his friends beyond the limi of his party, but we bring the matt to his attention in the hope that 1 he may be broughit to reali2 thio evils of his present thraldom u political influouceis, and retolvet give his timo less to suoh matters, ani mocre to those which will conduce his real happiness anid the welfare< the commnunity to which he belong: An Appe'al to thci Fiarmers. We call especial attention to a coni munication addressed to the niepnbl ean farmers of the State. The writ< is a colored minister, located in' th county. Ills letter contains sever. striking points, and we hope) it we be generally circulated and hee by the class to whoni it is addre*sset The difficulty, heretofore,. t~a bee that the mnasses of the colored peopl, though we believe honiest at hoor have allowed themselves to bo di ceived by demagogues and politici triecstors. They have been tangl that it makes no diffeurence how mut stealing goes on, provided their or loaders d o the st ealing. They belie, that this is the pay they niust give few carpot-baggers anid politicians f, keeping themn out of slavery.- The never for a moment realize that any one could put them back int slavery, lie could do so bottar thirou the aid of tho present Laegislatujro the through that of an honest and hig toned body.
