COLUMBIA. S. ?. Thursday Korain*. September 10,1872. For President of the United Stales. HORACE GREELEY, or New York. For vice-President B. GRATZ BUOWIY. or missouri. Tile Moses Bnnch or til? Mooney Fam? ily-Some more Light for tho People. A great deal has been written and apoken about the enormous and, to a largo extent, fraudulent issue of pay cer "tifioate8 by F. J. Moses, Jr., as Speaker of tbo House, during tbe last session of tho Legislature. His friends at first confessed his misconduct (to nse a mild term) in this regard, and attempted to excuso it, by pleading that the money had been applied to relievo tho wants of tho poor victims of tho bloody Ku Klux Klan. This explanation offering but a lame apology at best, and being further? more shown to be glaringly inconsistent with the facts, has lately been dropped, and a general denial put in by Moses in? stead. Ho says ho has issued no fraudu? lent or illegal certificates, and challenges investigation and the production of proofs, or reasonable evidence to sub? stantiate the charges made against him. He assumes tho role of au innoceut man, and demands that his guilt he proved beforo ho bo condemned. This is an absurd position for a candidato for pub? lic office to tako, for it results in the manifestly false proposition that any man who is not, or cunuot, bo convicted of crime, is fit to be a ruler and to be entrnsted with the dearest interests of tho people. But oar?Moses sustain him? self even on this shallow pretext? Wo think nut. His venality and corruption have ceased to bo questions long since. More than this, wo are now able to fur? nish additional facta in relation to legis? lative expenses and to the issue of fraud? ulent pay certificates, which we mako bold to say cannot be explained upon any hypothesis consistent with honesty and fidelity on tho part of F. J. Moses, Jr. There are now on haud in the Trea? surer's office, filed away as vouchers, pay certificates, issued by Moses alone, us Speaker of the House of Representa? tives, during last winter's session, amonuting to $576,541.?0. Pay certifi? cates issued by Rausier, or the President pro tem. ot the Senate, amounting to $310,929.88, and certificates, signed by the officers of the two houses jointly, amounting to $71,441.15. The total amount thus expended from the State Treasury, up to the 13th of the present month, at wbioh time the investigations upon which these statements are made were ended, was $958,912.43. For the larger part of this outrageous expendi? ture, F. J. Mo6es, Jr., in solely responsi? ble. Now the members of the General Assembly, Senate and House together, number, we believe, just 156. Tho last session continued 107 days. The per diem of the members is $6. 156 multi? plied by 6 givea 936, which is tho num? ber of dollars required to pay the mem? bers for one day; and 936 multiplied by 107 gives the total amount for the ses? sion--$100,152. Instead we find that actually over nine times this sum has been paid out, and, besides, there are certificates still outstanding which are estimated at several hundred thousand dollars more. Furthermore, 107 days being the length of the session, $642, with an in? considerable addition for mileage, would be all that any member would be entitled to. Numbers of the members, as ap? pears by the vouchers in the Treasurer's office, received certificates for upwards of two thousand dollars. But we are not done yet. The cream of the thing is yet to como. We wish to introdnco to our readers the Moses branch of the in? teresting Mooney family. Pay certifi? cates to the following ostensible parties are on file in the Treasurer's office, signed by F.J. Moses and countersigned by A. O. Jones, Clerk of the House: Joseph Moyer.$1,637 42 Peter Emminger. 843 19 John Storge. 973 23 Geo. Singer. 1,4*0 33 R. T. Markie. 847 48 J. Richardson. 1,494 30 R. Matthews. 1,924 50 P.

Murray, of Charles? ton, died at Quincy, Fla., on the 15th instant. Court commences at Blackville, this week, Judge Maher presiding. Two murder cases are ou th J criminal docket. Congressional corruption. We have a well-practiced and thorough? ly trained set of rogues here in South Carolina, greedy enough to skin a flea for bia hide and tallow, and expert enough to steal the fat out of a hoe? cake They have pretty nearly done the business for our poor old State As little moro remains to be stolon, aud no? thing is immediately available, npou which they may lay their bonds, they have assumed the part of moral aud po? litical reformers. Both parties now in the field cry out against corruption, both promise ia their platforms retrench? ment, economy and reform, a reduction of taxes, a razeeing of the public debt and honesty in office. This is easy and ohoap. But prolific as they aro in pro? mises, for very obvious reasons, they do not premiso the vigorous criminal prose? cution of the thieves. This would bu self-crimination, whioh it would be UB unreasonable to expeot as admiration for the code whioh would ooudemn them to the penitentiary or the gallows. "No roguo e'er felt tho halter draw, With good opiuion of the law." We must not lay the flattering unction to our souls, however, that wo havo a monopoly of these expert and accom? plished light-fingered gentry. We have only a colony of them here. There are more where they came from. A suit is now ponding before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in whioh Col. Henry S. McComb is plaintiff, and the "Credit Mobilier of Amorica," a moneyed corpo? ration c lu r tor ed by that State, is defend? ant. MoComb is one of the original corporators of tho Union Pacific Rail? way, and of tho Credit Mobilier likewise. He sues the oompany to recover the value of 250 shares of tho Credit Mo? bilier, which he claims rightfully belong to him. "The Union Pacifio Railroad Oompany," chartered by Congress, con? structed and owns the Eastern division of the lino of railway, reaching from Omaha to San Francisco. Tho "Union Pacifio" portion is the larger, reaching from Omaha to Ogden, near Salt Lake City. The other ond belongs to thc Central Pacifio Company. Each of these corporations was libo rally subsidized by Congress. It was first granted the right of way through the public lands, with authority to take timber, stone, and other materials from any portion of theso lands freo of charge. It was next loaned the bonds of the United States at the rate of 310,000, 332,000 and $18,000 per mile, according as tho work was presumed to be moro ci loss difficult; and it was further subsi? dized by a liberal grant of public lands, The Union Pacific Railway being that magnificently subsidized by the United States, the Credit Mobilier was organized a9 a wheel within the wheel, a ring with in the ring, for the purpose of building the road aud bagging tho subsidies Tho road whioh the Credit Mobilier boil cost in tho gross $25,950,000. and thc values received by tho Credit Mobilie amounted to $111,018,512-the profit of the Credit Mobilier reaching thus thi figaro of $85,668,512. After the profit of the Credit Mobilier bad reaohed \ total of some 300 fier cent, on the face o the stock, it became necessary, in orde to their further advance, that Congres should release the Union Pacific Railwn; from certain obligations and liabilitie imposed upon it by the Acts of July 1862, and of July, 1861, constituting th companies which made up the Unioi Pacific. Mr. Oakes Amos, n Radical mernie of Congress from Massachusetts, an one of the director? of the Credit Mc bilicr, was the agent chosen to effect thi desired result. We get some glimps into his plan of operations in Mi McCombs' testimony, taken before th Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, for th recovery of the 250 shares which h claims. Ho asserts and supports th assertion by two letters and a memorar dum, that Mr. Oakes Amos professes t have used these 250 shares, and man moro shares also, of the Credit Mobilie stook in bribing certain members c Congress to co-operate with him (Oaki Ames) in securing the legislation whio r?aa necossary to onhanco the valuo < the Crodit Mobilier stock to tho ono mous point whioh it finally attaiued < some 700 or 800 por cent, advanoo upo ita face. Of the members so bribet Colonel MoComb produces a list draw up for him by Mt. Oakes Ames, pul fished elsewhere, in an article from tl Now York World, to whioh we invito tl attention of our readers. To Colonel MoComb, Mr. Oakes Ami ut this time wrote that he had plaoed part and would plaoe tho wholo of tl stook he was distributing ut Washing to: "where it would do most good." Th obviously meant that ho intended to u it in bribing, those particular mombo of Congress whoso influence was greate and most likely to help him to uccoi pli;.h his purpose. "I havo assigned," ho says, "as far I havo gone, four from Massachusetts, one from New Hampshire, one Dolaware, ono Tennessee, one-half Ohio, two Penn? sylvania, one Indiana, one Maine, and I have three to piuco." The oompany had authorized Mr. Oakes Amos to "place" this stook in suoh a way as would help the road. The following, from the testi? mony given in this extraordinary cane, throws a flood of light on it: Q. What distribution of it was mud? by Mr. Ames? A. He gave it to mem? bers of Congress, Senators and Repre? sentatives. Q. What was paid ?uto thu Credit Mo? bilier for that stock whioh Mr. Amos distributed in the way you meutiou? A. This stock, whioh Mr. Ames took as trus? tee, had paid to it all the dividends of the oompany, from the dute of tho or? ganization of the company down to tue time when that stock was delivered to him, aud none of these proceeds, amouuting to severn! hundred per cent, iu value, were paid in. Thu par vulue only was paid in. Q. Do you menu by giving, that these shares were gifts in the uaturo of pre? sents? A. I do. Q. You understand, then, Mr. Amos to mean that these shares wore to bu presented without valu** paid to members j of Congress? A. I onderBtaud from Mr. j Oakes Ames that they wero substantially a gift, the parties to whom the stock was said to be appropriated receiviuc through him, as their trustee, more than suffi? cient available assets as dividends to pay for the same, aud that he, out of their assets, paid into the treasury tho par value of the stook. Q. Did you understand from Mr. Ames what was the motive for allowing theso persons to take this stock at par, when it was BO valuable that part of the divi? dends sufficed to pay the par value? A. The motive I understood was to secure tho influence and support in Congress of the men to whom the stock wua given. Q. Influence and support for wbat? A. For anything affecting; tho Union Pa? cifio Railroad Company in Congress. More than two weeks havo elapsed since tho publication, in full, of Mo Comb's testimony, of which we have given a synopsis. The vice-President, the Secretary of tho Treasury, the can? didate for Vice-President on Grant's ticket, and leading members of Congress aro implicated in these transactions, and convicted by this testimony, unless it is traversed aud shown to bo false. None of tho parties charged have responded, exoept Mr. Speaker Blaine-who makes a brief; unsatisfactory and evasive denial. Ee Hp.WviACthing of his colleagues, and they have said nothing for themselves. Oakes Ames is a Radical Grantite, and their intimate friend. Has ho borne falso witness? It concerns theso parties to settle this question soon. Their silence in the face of such damaging charges, such startling revelations, is, to say the least, ominous. We should think that, if innocent, they would hasten to show il. As it stands, it is a scandal of unparalleled magnitude. EDITOR OF THE PHOSIX : Last Tuesday, when I gave in the columns of your pa? per a flit denial to the false statement of Mr. Rose, in reference to the prevalence of yellow fovcr in Charleston, at this season of the year, it was merely in order to counteract the impression made in tho up-country by his advertisement in the Greenville Mountaineer, of the 11th inst. I did not intend to enter in any polomio with him. But, instead of giving expla? nations ubout what might have been a mistake of his, or of the Mountaineer's editor, Mr. Rose comes out in the columns of your paper, of this day, in a oommunicution in which ho makes au at? tempt ut witticism, and tries to throw ridioule on mo; therefore, I ara com? pelled to intrude in your columns. Mr. Rose asks, What is the English of DuBos? My answer is, that DuBos is a family name, which means merely DuBos-as Dickens or any otber English name means Dickens; that DuBor can? not bo translated in English but by thoso five letters, D-u-B-o-s; that I am a thorough-brod Frenchman; that since I huve oast my lot with the Southern peo? ple I have associated with them during the war; that I am yet (to the disgust of Mr. Roso, probably,) heartily associated with them in their efforts to shako off the Radical yoke which tends to degrade them. Mr. Rose asks if I havo looked for the date of his advertisement. I answer that, under his oard of September, tho 11th inst., there is the date of Septem? ber G, avoiding to mention the year; and, as proof of my assertion, and for the edification of Mr. Rose, and of tho public, I have deposited at tho PHOENIX office a full oopy of t! .e Mountaineer of the said day, tho 11th inst.-and my mental stale is clear and ?ane enough to understand why the date of the year has been left in blank. Now, if the country merchants whoso foars have been excited by his advertise? ment of the 11th, oall on him (as Mr. Rose suggests) he will attain his object in obtaining customers for his hotel-and this controversy will have not been in vain for him. Mr. Rose is facetious and attempts to show his scholarship by saying that my attack on him looks bovine, decidedly. Farceur! Why doos he not takotho bull by tho horns? Try it, Mr. Rose. Re? spectfully, L. DuBOS. The execution of Simon Black is to tako place hore on uoxt Friday, the 20th instant, provided Gov. Scott does not again respite him.-Lexington Dispatch.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PIKESIX: Tho community has hoon very much surprised in tho last (ow days, to hear that the new Gourt Houao may possibly be located in tho upper warda of tho oity, away from business and the offices of thone who daily attend npou the courts. Thoro aro so many strong reaeous agaiuat thia novel iden that wo tnko up our pen to remon? strate, aud to oall thc attention of the public to this and inuouvoaionoo that is about to bo fastened npm us for the futuro. Why carry the Court House iuto cottou towu? Can any decent rea? son bo giveu for it? Tho Court House will be an oruumuut to tho oity, and should bo placed where, at least, it may be seen by the passer-by. Tho salo of the old Court House squnro, on Main street, was wiso, iu our jutigmeut. It is bettor that the hui Uli og should not be on Matu street, bot is teat u reason why it should be carried oui of town? lu tho immediate j vicinity of the busiuuss portion of thc city, nour tho site of tho old Court Howse, nod contiguous to tho offices of those who have niOMt to do with it, is u beautiful site, that may be procured-ou the .South-east corner of Washington and Sumter streets. It is u high, dry und airy situation, convenient, aud altogether desirable Tho site will cost souiuthiug, but what ia the first coat of a lot in com? parison with tho advantages aud disad? vantages to the community for a hundred years to come? This is a serious ques? tion, and wu hope that tho Commission? ers will not undertake so important n matter without ascertaining thu wishes of the Citizens rcapecting it. Tho tax? payers aro the parties out of whoso pock? ets tho building is to be puid for, and surely their views should be consulted aud gravely considered. We have seen tho beginnings of a plan for tue now Court House, whioh wo believe is to he submitted by Mr. Berg, au accomplished architect, und should his plan bo adopt? ed, we can say tbat it will be, though plain, an ornament to the city-ut least, Huoh . a structure as uced not bide its head in the bywuys ol cotton town. Other plans may be presented of equal or greater merit than Mr. Berg's, but in no event should the light of justice bo hid under a bushel. At lea-t, Mr. Editor, 'lot us have a dis j cussion of this important question, uml let ali who aro interested speuk out now, before it ia too luto. The site should In determined upon immediately, ns iu manv insinu?es, mach will depend upon mukiug tho plan of the building to btiil tho situation. Wo have named tho cor ner of Washington und Sumter streets, beciuso it is u largo square. Tho build i ag could be erected in tho centro of it, and with a hnudsomo fence around il and a green gras3 pint well kept am ornamented with shado trees, we shall have something pleasing to tho eye, au<J our children may aeo hereafter that theil fathers had somo respect for tho temph of justice and some taste in erecting it Tho United States Court Houao not Post Office together, in one building have, it is true, boen carried up town but that is very well understood to bo < job of Uncle Sam's, with what we hav( nothing to do. It is seldom, too, tha our citizens will have business in tim building. Once a year, the court wil Bit there, and onco or twice a day, i clerk may have to run to tho poat office aud that will bo the end of it, iuconve nient though it be. But with the Conn ty and Stato Court House, tho case i very diff?rent. All the records are thom of overy kind, to begin with; the Clerk the Sheriff, tho Probate Judge, th Auditor, tho Coroner, the County Com missioners, aro all provided for there Every hour in tho day, the busiues public will have need to visit the Conr House, and it should bo in asconvenien und central position as eau possibly b selected. Let us hear the other aide, il indeed, there bo any other side. TAX-PAYER. "THE MEETINO HEP.E.-Melton, Otu noy and Hausier spoke hore on Frida night. Melton repeated his slanduron speech against Totulinsou, and ender, vored to defeud Moses iu tho pay certitl cato business, by shifting tho load upo tho Senate. Rsusier hore nudged th speaker, who faltered out, 'I d-d-doti mean to c-charge Hausier with il b-b-but tho Speaker p-pro lem Hausier made a speech in his usual sty] of non-commitalism. No ono cool tell who ho was for except himself. Th crowd was smull nnd rather disposed t put embarrassing questions. A fe 'strikers' arouud tho stand did tho chea ing.-Beaufort Republican." From tho above, I infer that Jud{ Samuel W. Melton means insult and personal issue. I accept tho result i that issue. But it remains for mo 1 say, that one who has associated himee with thieves, shall be recognized to stan on tho levol with gentlemen. No ot can feol Judge Melton's degradatic moro than I do, but for my purpose aud in ordor to lift him up, and gi\ him a standing place among goutlemoi I now denounce him to bo a liar, a po troon and a coward.
