Crimes of Moses, "The Robber t*overnor.?
Charleston, S. CL, June 6.
Every interested statement to the contrary
notwithstanding, it is now dofii.itely settled
that F. J. Moses, jr., will be a candidate on the
Republican ticket for re-election as Governor
of the State of South Carolina. It is also
stated by all classes of politicians that should
he run there can be little doubt of his success.
Such being the case, it may be well to explain
to the Republican party of the North what
manner of man F. J. Moses, jr., is. That he
boasts of having hauled down the American
flag from- the walls of Fort Sumter, and that
he is openly charged with all sorts of crimes,
is well known to the newspaper readers
throughout the country. Of his recent in?
dictment for malfeasance in office and grand
larceny, much has been written, but as yet the
whole truth in relation to the matter has never
been laid, before the public From Maj. C. W.
Buttz, the State Solicitor, who prosecuted the
Governor, and who is most intimately acquain?
ted with- the whole case, the following plain
and unvarnished statement is derived. At the
election of Moses for Governor, and during the
canvass, he became desirous of obtaining polit?
ical control of a newspaper published in Col?
umbia, and known as the Union-Herald. With
this object in view, he entered into communi?
cation with Mr. T. C. Andrews, one of the
proprietors of the journal named, and soon
after made a written agreement with him for
the purchase of a one-half interest in and the
entire political control of the paper. This
agreement, which is now in the possession of
Buttz, and which has been seen by your cor?
respondent, stipulates in distinct terms that
Moses is to pay $12,000 for the interest sold to
him, and that $6,000 of this sum is to be taken
from the State civil contingent fund, which
had not yet been appropriated. The rest was
to be paid in other State securities. In order
to secure the payment of one-half the money,
Moses appointed a negro boy named Humbert
to be county treasurer of Orangeburg County.
At the time of his appointment, the boy was
not yet twenty-one years of age. Soon after
Moses drew a warrant on the contingent fund
for $6,000, and sent it by Andrews to Humbert,
with instructions to collect taxes to that
amount, and hand them over to Andrews. At
the same time Moses assured the boy treasurer
that he would make the matter "all right."'
Relying on these promises Humbert did as he
was directed. Some weeks after the Legisla?
ture, being in session, appropriated $20,000 as
a contingent fund for the Governor. Immedi?
ately upon the bill being passed, Moses, with
his signature still wet, presented it to State
Treasurer Cardoza, and drew the whole amount.
A week or so afterward Humbert went to Col?
umbia to pay over the taxes he had collected,
and settle his accounts with the State. As a
voucher for the $6,000 he had given to Moses,
he presented that gentleman's warrant on the
contingent fund. The treasurer refused to
accept this, saying that the Governor had al?
ready drawn every penny of the fund. Hum?
bert, greatly alarmed, then called on Moses,
who told him to say nothing about the matter,
and that he would protect him and see that he
came out all right. At the same time he ad?
vised him to go back to his office and purchase
school claims against the State?to be had at
forty cents on the dollar?sufficient to cover
the amount he was short, and that he would
fet Cardoza to accept them for their face value,
[umbert again did as he was directed, but on
presenting the claims to Cardoza, that gentle?
man not only refused to accept them at their
face value, but caused the arrest of the unfor?
tunate negro lad on a charge of being a de?
faulter. The boy was bailed out by a friend,
?.nd Moses requested him to come and see him.
During the interview which followed, the Gov?
ernor tried to induce his dupe to give up the
written evidence which he possessed in relation
to him. At the same time he advised the boy
to go to court, to plead guilty before his exam
ation, and assured him that after his conviction
he would at once be pardoned and set at liber?
ty. Humbert, having no faith in Moses's
promises, declined to do as he desired. Inter?
ested parties laid all these facts before State
Solicitor Buttz, who decided to frame an in?
dictment against Humbert for breach of trust,
fraud, attempt at grand larceny, and against
Moses for aiding, advising and abetting him in
the crime. The law makes the punishment for
all these offences the same. As soon as the in?
dictments were issued, it is understood that
Moses went to Mr. D. H. Chamberlain, one of
the ablest Northern men in the State, and
promised him that, if he would use his great
influence to protect him in his need, he would
resign in his favor at the next election, and do
all in his power to have him (Chamberlain)
elected Governor. The trnth of this statement
is not vouched for; it is certain, however, that
on the evening of the indictment of Moses by
the grand jury, not only Chamberlain, but his
law partner, Mr. Melton, the present Attorney
General, together with R. B. Eliiott, merabe
of Congress from this State, arrived in Orange
burg, and on the next day appeared in court
and stated to the Judge that Go v. Moses would
stand his trial the same as any other citizen,
and that he did not wish his official position to
shield him from the consequences of any of
his private actions. This statement appeared
very well on the surface, but, as is alleged,
Moses never had any intention of living up to
it. On the day fixed for trial, Attorney-Gen?
eral Melton appeared in court and prepared
another indictment against Humbert, charging
him with a failure to return money collected
to the State Treasurer. Had the boy been
convicted of this, he would have been sent to
the Penitentiary, and thus made powerless as a
witness against the Governor. Buttz, under?
standing this, and having determined to allow
Humbert to turn State's evidence, objected,
and the case was put off until the next term.
The second trial resulted in the merest farce,
as already reported in the Times, and the case
is still pending.
the governor's misuse of the pardoning
power.
Among the many charges brought against
Moses, one of the most serious is that his mis?
use of the pardoning power amounts almost to
criminality. The exercise of this power in
favor of convicts, to the extent Moses has car?
ried it, has had such an injurious effect on the
evil-disposed portion of the community that
they commit the most serious offences with
no fear of punishment. At the same time it
has more than doubled the expenses of the
courts, giving the tax-payers just cause for
complaint.

1st of January, 1873, the convictions and par?
dons have compared as follows:

Of the above number, Moses pardoned twen?
ty-three by telegraph the day after conviction,
and the balancl\belore they had been convicted
thirty days. In .most instances the pardons
were granted upoTi application of interested
politicians. Of the number allowed to escape
the punishment they deserved, fifteen were
tried and convicted of two different offences
committed since they were first pardoned, and
were pardoned a second time, and twen!y-two
have been convicted of one offence since par?
doned, and pardoned a second time.
It has always been a custom with the Gov?
ernors of South Carolina, before pardoning a
convict, to apply for information regarding his
case to the attorney who prosecuted him or the
judge before whom he was tried. Maj. Buttz
states that Moses has never consulted him in
relation to his pardons, and has only spoken
with the judges on one or two occasions.
Among the criminals who have recently expe?
rienced the clemency of the Governor, was one
James Galagher, convicted of kidnapping, and
sentenced upon the best of evidence to five
years' imprisonment. He was pardoned on
application of Judge Tom Mackey, who stated
that he was an active politician. Another case
is that of Samuel Fraser, an officer in the negro
militia. He was convicted on five counts, of
forgery, and sentenced to five years' imprison?
ment. Moses pardoned him, as he told a
friend, because he was "a good political nig?
ger." An Israelite named Rosa Zacharias,
convicted of breach of the peace and oft-re?
peated gross misconduct, was immediately
pardoned upon application of a Hebrew friend
of the Governor.
character of the men who escape pun?
ishment.
The most remarkable misuse of the pardon?
ing power by Moses, however, and perhaps the
strangest story of executive clemency on re?
cord, is to be found in the case of a man named
Benjamin Hernandez, an old resident of
Charleston, who, after having defied the law
for years, was convicted and sentenced to jail
for two years for obtaining money by threat
and under false pretences. At the time of his
conviction there were no less than seven other
indictments hanging over him. One of them
was for assault with intent to kill. The lawyer
who defended him took an appeal from the
ruling of the court that convicted him to the
Supreme Court of the State. Pending this
appeal Hernandez committed various other
offences. Soon after the inauguration of Moses
as Governor he visited Charleston, and while
staying at the house of Gen. William Gurney,
the present county treasurer, sent for Hernan?
dez and gave him to understand that the pro?
tection of the Executive would always be with
him, no matter what he might do, and at th6
same time, with his own hand, prepared and
delivered to him the following commission,
written on a small piece of note paper:
Executive Department 1
of South Carolina. j
Benjamin IJernandez is hereby appointed
one of the State Constables, with the pay of
seventy-five dollars a month, .to hold office
during executive pleasure.
F. J. Moses, Jr.,
Governor of South Carolina.
The law authorizing the appointment of
State constables had been abolished before this
time as was known to both the Governor and
Hernandez. This being the case, it was un?
derstood that the commission was given for
political purposes only, and that no pay was to
attach to the office. Notwithstanding this,
however, Hernandez applied to the Governor
for mone;, and for several months received the
salary named in the commission. Finally,
having no further use for the fellow, Moses
instructed his servants not to admit him to his
office. HernandGz, on going to the State
House at Columbia was, therefore, informed
that the Governor could not see him. Becom?
ing enraged at this, he knocked the usher down
with great violeuce, and was proceeding to
commit other outrages when the police rushed
in and arrested him. He had not been in the
station-house five minutes, however, when
Moses caused his release, and sent him an
{ order on the contingent fund for six hundred
dollars. Having no confidence in the order or
the fund, Hernandez sent the Governor word
that he must have six hundred dollars in
money or he would horsewhip him before he
left Columbia. Upon this Moses gave him a
letter to Gen. William Gurney, of Charleston,
requesting that gentleman to pay the desperado
the money he asked. As is further stated by
Maj. Buttz, Moses had already received large
sums of money from Gurney, and also his in?
dorsement to a note for $10,000, which was
afterward allowed to go to protest. This being
the case, Gurney refused to pay the six hun?
dred dollars demanded. Hernandez swore that
he would be revenged, and, a few evenings after,
on meeting Gurney at a political convention,
said he would not allow him to deliver any
speech to the delegates until he had paid him
six hundred dollars. Upon this a few hot
words ensued, and Hernandez drew a pistol
and was about to fire on his opponent when he
was seized, disarmed, and taken to jail. For
this offense he was convicted, sentenced to
three years' imprisonment in the Penitentiary,
and sent to serve out his term on this charge,
and also on the previous conviction for two
years. The convict had not long been in the
State prison, however, when his friend, Gov.
Moses, telegraphed to the solicitor, Buttz, to
come up to the Capital. Upon his arrival the
Governor very coolly asked him to consent to
the pardon of Hernandez. Buttz not only re?
fused to do so, but sent to the sheriff of Rich
land County, and keeper of the Penitentiary,
seven bench warrants against Hernandez iti
the Beveral indictments pending against him
in the courts of Charleston. He also filed a
written protest against the pardon, signed by
Gen. Gurney, the county treasurer; General
Worthington, the collector of the port, and
Mr. Bowen, the sheriff of Charleston. The
Governor still urged the solicitor to consent to
the pardon, saying that he wished to grant it
to oblige George F. Mclntyre, one of the State
Senators, and publisher of a paper, which
every week charged Moses with rape, seduction
and theft. The solicitor still refused, when
Moses assured him that the party would be
much benefited by the pardon of Hernandez,
and that if he were allowed to go free, Mcln?
tyre would stop writing articles about him, and
would support him in the Fall campaign.
Major Buttz here intimated to the Governor
that as Mclntyre had charged him in open
print with so many terrible crimes, it would
not look well in the eyes of the public to do
anything at his request. After some thought
Moses assented to this, and gave his word of
honor that he would not issue the pardon.
The solicitor, satisfied with this promise, re?
turned to Charleston, and two days afterward
was astonished and mortified to receive the
announcement that "Gov. F. J. Moses, jr., of
the State of South Carolina, has pardoned
Benjamin Hernandez, and ordered his release
from the Penitentiary." This not only proved
to be true, but a few weeks subsequently Mclu
tyre's paper was suspended; and the publisher
was appointed to the fat office of treasurer of
Colleton County, and received a commission as
Major General in the State militia. In this
way the proper respect for the law is lost, and
it is with the utmost difficulty that criminals
can be made to fear punishment. This is par?
ticularly the case with the negro. Solicitor
Buttz jissures your correspondent that he has
frequently been told by such persons that it
was useless to convict them, as they would be
pardoned by "Massa Moses sure." A premium
is thus put upon crime, and "the robber Gov?
ernor," by the influence which he can exert
with a few unprincipled leaders, hopes to con?
trol the black vote of the State, and securo his
re-election to the highest position in the gift
of the people of South Carolina.

You may clean it only by putting in water,
shaking it and pouring it out. It* the water

and then settled herself to meditate upon how
she looked, and to observe what the other girls
had on. The services concluded, she arose to
go out. Alas for human hopes! That last
touch on the overslcirt was too much; she
threw it too high, and there it rested on an
old muff which was serving as a bustle. So
the wretched girl wiggled away, unconscious
of the joy that filled the hearts of the other
girls who saw it.

HpHIS is :i North Carolina invention, and
X will beeonio to the Cotton Plantor what
the MeCormick Reaper and Mower is to the
Western farmer. Col. McKay, one of North
Carolina's host men, says: "Its value to a far?
mer can only bo appreciated by those who give
it a trial. 1 made a special examination of its
work, and pronounce it a thorough success. It
bars both sides of the Cotton at the same time,
much better than can bo done by the ordinary
plow, and chops out the surplus Cotton, leav?
ing the hills \-2 inches apart, and it thoroughly
cleans the Cotton of grass. It was tried on
land abounding with the usual number of
stumps on my tarm near Fayetteville, N. C.
It worked beautifully. There was no clogging
or difficulty in passing stumps. It was drawn
by one mule." Call at C. A. Reed's and sec
and purchase the machine. Price, for
Chopper, by itself. No. 11 Cotton Chopper,
with double scraper and single sweep attach?
ment, only &J7.5?.

Dr. January and Cancer!
THE celebrity of tho January Infirmary,
established in Murphreesboro, Tenn., in
1848, associated the above name with the treat?
ment of Cancer until they became synony?
mous, both passed away with the war. Biit
great discoveries, like truths, live forever. Dr.
J. O. January, inheriting his father's talents,
and improving on his experience, has achieved
a success in advance of their former history,
owing to his increased patronage he has perma?
nent lv located in St. Louis; the numerous let?
ters lie is receiving, and large arrival of pa?
tients, justify his move to this central point.
Wo would advise all afflicted with Cancer,
Scrofula, Fistula, Piles, Ac, to apply to him,
as he possesses perfect control of those diseases,
without pain or tho knife. Address,
