FAIRFIELD HERALD: . MEANS bAV1% Editor. - Wedposd"f Moyning June 1 187?. Wo call attention to-day to a very intdi'elii 'td 'of thi lffess' and present condition of- shanufacto rics in this State and Georgia. It ,will be seen that 'those will be"the financial regenerators of our State. An- Exchange speaks of having *f0n a!11olIet" ,4f Geore Washing. ton at the Noeklenburg -Centennial. The only reliet of the immortal 'George that we ever board of, was Mrs. Martha Washington, and, she abadioned this vale of tears years ago. Was the' father 'of his country a bigamist I We pause for a reply. 'The Pennsylvania Republicans 11ayo renominated lIartranft for Governor. They denounced the third topf da, 'but endeavored to put a S6ar coating to this 'bitter pill by eulogizing Grant's adminis tration. The examplo of Pennsyl vania wJll be followed probably by all the States except South Carolina. Honest John Paterson nado the' last nominating State Convention propose a third term for Grant, and this proeipitato notion alarmed the people of the Union and blooked the President's little gamg. Poor -Patterson. Grand preparations are making for the Philadelphia Centennial. It is confidonbly expected that this great event will'bring all -kindreds and peoples together. More espeoci ally is it designed to revive frator nal rolations between the seetions and to secure American Unity. The orators of the oconsion will be Charles Francis Adams and L. Q. C. Lamar, both men of broad liberal patriotism. :Gen. Sherman. who op poses violenco'in the South, is Grand lailial, ind Gon. Joseph E. John ton will'have-chargo of the military. Thuswill,honors be equally divided. Wo 'hope every body, -North and -South, who is able, will attend the centennial, keep in a good -hu. mor, and imbibe friendly fooliugs , , P oranoously with'Coutennial mint julope. Louisiana. In another portion of our paper will be found a letter from Charles Nordhofif to the N. Y. IIerald on 'Louisiana. The writer is a widely known contributor to journalistic lit. eraturo. 8dveral yena ago ho corep ~responded for the Tribune, and his letters wore filled with bitter denun oiation of the South. It will be soon that his ideas have of late mate rially changed, and lhe conoludos with a full justiflcation of the whites of Louisiala for their revolution last November.. We bespeak a careful perusal of this letter. It presents a long array of facts damning to the radioal party in Louisiana and to the whole nation al party whiol% upheld them with .savage brutality. We had thought that South Carolina was the most governmont-oursed Stato in the Union, but even her misfortunes cannot equal those of Louisiana. TEhe Levee frauds, of themselves, by 'causing fearful inundations over a 'vast extont of territory, wore more -muonstrous 4than any combination of bond'fraudstoould possibly be. Wo rojcio ,that a comupromiso has ~been effeted,' 'and we trust thmat Louisiana, as well as 6t4er Southern States, will aeon begiu 'a'n upward course. 'Boston is al1ways gotting-up an'ei. oitonmont. This time it is over the marriage cereixiony. It appears that a, young couple, membors-of the lie 'unan Catholic churoh were married by a magistrate. Thereupon the priest in charge of the-flock of which these young sheep were a portion, denounced thom in'-unmineasured terms fromn the altgr, declaring that they hbad not boon properly married and 'that they should not -be suffered -to 'comniuno until a -religious sceremonly hould have beon pdr formed. These den noiations it is alloged were re peate several times .until the bride ~groomv began to think that "this thing weasBrowing monotonous," and institutedislt against the priest for 42000 damuag s. The -question wuill '.now}e. decide' whether the divil law fa 4 superior to ecclesiastical canons, ''and whether public denunciation of an individual by his minister will 'be clasand sind ar the had ofatpr:..hi:-. oommunoiions, or whether it is sub. jeot tovdatgages iP -a- oqurt h9upe The os istill In progress. The priosttei tha't'he used qffensivs Ialanguae,*bt *djpt4.. at ho may bue said the couple "ient before a buokle beggar,, which term he ex 4IM-uso4 in the old country for a pagistrato who x6arries eve rybody iat6;b* befdre, Mm. If the verdiot be given for the do. fendaut 'in 'the other matters, he should rever theless be putished severely for the use of thtt torin. Toli ly.the term "butke bneggar" to a magistra.to or trial justice is a fligrant contempb of the moEt im portat judicial officers in the land. What becomes of the majesty of the lw if preaobero are suffered with impunity to call magistrates "buckle beggars?" A few thouihts on Reform. Parker's ease, it is said will be heard at an extra term in July, This is a civil action and will proba bly result in nothing. Why does the Attorney-Genoral not institute criminal proceedings against Parker ? It is claimed by the ememies of Governor Chambprlain that he is delaying the course of justice because he fears implication in these frauds. We do not believe this. But, as supporters of the administration, we would suggest to Governor Cham berlain that it would be better for him to avoid even au-pioion of evil, by exerting his influence to scouro a speedy prosecution of the leading members of the ring. Should he even apparently acquiesce iu these law's delay, be will be furnishing ammlunition for his enemies. Ro. form in South Varolina will be a sham, an empty bubble, so long as the men who ruined 'the State are suffered to walk unmolested our public thoroughfares. We have only this to say, ither commonco In 'earnost on Parker, Moses, Leslie, Whipper afid the other prominent criminals, or else, for Heaven's sake, stop sending poor unfrieLded devils to the Penitentiary. The v-ry coun ty commissioners who are inarcerat ed, committed 'their petty fraudr, while noted officials were stealing millions. They only reproduced in a feeble way the critLes of their masters. This foobleness wis their ruin. They have no influence, no money, no friends. They arc fit sub jeots to be immolated upon the altar of reform. But reform spurns them. They are unworthy victims, and it is an insult to offer them. Outtaged justice demands greater sacrifices thsn these, and she must have them. :In the name of reform, in the name of'justice, in the name of an -outraged people, we say to tho'judicial powver in South Carolina, "Toc not a hair of the head of a single county com missioner, or school trubtee, until you have brought down the whole weight of the law upon the notorious thieves who inaugurated a whluooale system of robbery and continued it until the State was made bank. rupt." Justice. At the recent tormiof the Orange burg Court, the State was apparently very active in bringing offenders to jostice. The news was heralded, with flourish of trumpets, that Hum bert and MocKinlay were to be ' dealt with severely on the charge of forge ry. Hlumbert was brought from the Penitentiary, where he is now in carcerated on the charge of embez zlement of public funds, so that he might be still further punished for the crime of forging school eertiti cates. This smacked of ' reform. And so earnest and so enthusiastic seemed to be the Judge and the So. licitor in the prosecution of the good work of bringing thieves to justice, that we confidently expected to hear by each mail that the arch thief of the party himself, Franklin J. Moses,,jr., had also boon put upon trial upon the indlictmnent thuat for a year:has been found against him. But we were much disappointed wshen no such refreshing intelligence reached us. We could not under. stand it. We do not yet comnpro hend how-outraged.justice, personi. fled 'in the honorable Court of Orangoburg, could lose sight of this admirable opportunity of taking its revenge. -It may'be possible that in its eagerness to pursue the nmiscre ants who defrauded the Rchools of the enormous sum of several hundred dollars perhaps, It had no time to dIvert its thought, to Moses, the om bezzlor of paltry -hundrodn 'of thousands.' For the -radical party has ever been peculiarly -considerate for the welfare of the public schools. Free education is its hobbf, and every di'ort has been made to estab lish it firmly. Th'e school fun,d a. been rigidly disbursed. Teachers ire handsomely paid, cash in ad vance, and there are no outstanding school claims in the hands of hungry pedag9guee to mook the system. If radicalism las been a decided success in any thing, that thing is the school system. It is therefore peculiarly apDropriate that Humburt should suffer for his crime. But it is well to sweep cleai. The COurt might hale devoted some little at tention to Moses. This is due to Moses. Ile has for years lived on notoriety, aud it must be extremely mortifying to one of his tempera ment to be thus remanded to obbOu., rity, "unwepi, ubhonored and un seung." Let justice step aside awhile from his impetuous pursuit of evil doers to attend to Frank's little case. It would be a pleasing diversion to the public to be I down from the tertifio excitoment up to which they have been wrought by these harrowing tales rf incarce rated county commissioners and school trustees and constables and to witess the farce of the trial of an ex Governor who prostituted his office to the basest uses and exerted all his influence in behalf of immorality, cor. ruptlon and degrading vice. We have no intention of dictating to the Honorable Court; but even the lowest and most humble citizen can offer a suggestion. It may be that the insignificant charge prefer. red againsb Moses has escaped the memory of the Court. We will herofore briefly repeat it. At the time when Gov. Moses was becoming the butt of every decant newspaper, North and South, he found it expedient to purchase an organ that would be his qpologist. He therefore bargained with Senator Thad Andrews for an interest in the Union-Herald. -It is charged that the price was a draft on Ilumbort, the County Treasurer of Orangeburg, for six thousind dollars out of the the cotitingent fund. The draft was given. Cardoza, it is said, endorsed on the draft that he would accept it in settlement ai so much cash. Thereupon Munibort cahotd the draft. Whon be came to a settle Iment, CardokL roruscd to receive the draft, and on the lailure of lumbert to produce the money, caused lim and Moses to be indiote'd fr .irano larceny. An atteipt w.s made to arrest Moses, but ho daied the au thority of the Court. The -case was continued. At the next term, Atto. ney-Geoneral Melton conducted the prosecution with his accustomed ability and eloquence, and succeed. ed in procuring a verdict of guilty against t1umbert,the only party who could tes.LVy against Moses. H ero by the way, was another instance of the impetuously of .justice which: forgot all other ..bljects of pursuit iid its eagerness to imprison that vile, dangerous boy, IIumbort. Andi, so vindictive has justice been *of inte in pursuing notorious criminals that Moses has nev-er been molested. iIe still walks the streets of Colunmbiai, an injured innocent. And this is justice. We have only to say that unless justice relax its efforts, it wIllsaeon have a bad ease of head ache, or worse still, a stroke of apo plexy. Several nations in Europe arc said to be hovering on the brink of war'. WVe haveonot yet been aide to dis cover why they a going to fight but this gives greater reaison for expecting hostilitie, as moi. always fight bettor when they don't understand what they are quarroling about than when they do.
