COLUMBIA, S. C. Tue? lay Morning, Jane 16,1874. Tnrougn Northern Spectacles. The New York Times, of the llth, contains a letter from a special corres? pondent in this State, in which the whole Moses affair is presented to the admiriDg gaze of the Republicans North. It ia stated, that being de? sirous of controlling a newspaper in his interest, he entered into communi? cation with Mr. T. O. Andrews, one of the then proprietors o! the Union Herald, and made a written agree? ment with him for the purchase of a one-half interest and the entire poli? tical oontrol of the paper. This written agreement, the correspondent stateB, he saw in Oharleston. It stipulates that Moaes is to pay $12,000 for the interest sold to him,'ana that 36,000 of this sum is to be taken from the State civil contingent fund. The rest was to bo paid in other State securities. Ho appointed Humbert, a colored boy, under twenty-one years of ago, Trea? surer of Oraogeburg County. He next draw a warrant on tho contingent fund for $6,000, and sent it by Andrews to Humbert, with instructions to collect taxes to that amount and hand over to Andrews, assuring the boy that ho would make it all right. Humbert obeyed orders; but when he came to make his return and settle accounts with the State, and presented the war? rant which he bad oashed as a voncber for the $6,000 paid for Moses, the reason that the Governor had already, and immediately upon its being passed, drawn the whole of the $20,000 contingent fund. Humbert became alarmed, but was told by the Governor that he would proteot him. He told him to boy sohoo) claims against tho State for forty cents on the dollar, to cover the amount he was short. But, upon presenting them, the olaims were refused at the treasury, and Humbert arrested as a defaulter. He w?3 bailed by a friend, and invited by Moses to come and see him, in order to induoe him to give up the written evidence he had of the transaction. This he deolined, and the faots becom? ing known, the Solicitor indicted Humbert for breach of trust and lar? ceny, and Mosos for aiding and abet? ting the crime. We all know the rest, beginning with the warrant for the arrest of the Governor and ending with Judge Graham's opinion quash? ing the indictment. Until these statements are denied or refuted, we have a right to assume that they are oorract. They illustrate the peculiar freedom of the press that we enjoy here, and the use a certain person thinks it ought to be pot to, and the agreement of another person connected with it with the other, that it shall be pnt to that ose. They show the oonvenienoe of the appro? priation known as the contingent fund. Simple-minded folk think that money is used in the service of the State in some informal, unpublished way. They will now learn better. The Times, iu its oomment?, insists upon a oomplete repudiation of Moses by the Republican party of the North. But what will Moses oare for that, if the Republican party of the State take him up even more warmly on that ac? count? The Times may be sure that Moaos is not better nor worse, and not more dangerous, than many other so called Republican leaders in South Carolina. The degradation, or re? moval, even, of ooe auah man, would have no appreciable, wholesome influ? ence on affairs here. Moses is the representative man to-day; dispose of him, and the representative man who succeeds him to-morrow will bo no better. What is to make him better? Bad influences are stronger now than when Moses was elected. What is to make him better, then? There is no? thing here, and the powor of the party North, when not honestly and vigorously directed to bring about re form through the length and broadth of tho State, aud not by the feeble ex? pedient of lecturing and scolding aud deposing a single criminal, will amount to very little. Something moro com? prehensive and vigorous is required. It took a whole river to cloause tho Augean stables. A Cable Pkojsot pon the Pacific. A scheme is on foot in California to construct a Pacific cable. Cyrus W. Field is now in San Franoisoo, Ho statod recently to a newspaper inter? viewer that the cost of the proposed cable would not exceed $20,000,000, and that this amount woald be forth ming from California capitalists us ooon as the project should take dofiuittt shape. Ho estimated that it would do a paying business within two years. Immigration Nuten We have before as a recent copy of The Star of Gwent and Souih Wales Times, a good sized folio newspaper of eight pages, published weekly at New? port and Cardiff, in the South of Wales. It contains interesting dis? cussions and correspondence. In the latter we find a letter from Columbia, 8. C, from Mr. John Wintlo, advising his countrymen of the advantages he had seen here, and picturing to them the rapid progress which they may make to prosperity, if they "avoid Now York, and muko direot to South Carolina?undoubtedly tho gardeu spot of the world." Mr. W. grows enthusiastic over the hospitality aud refinement of the people, and in de? scribing the productiveness of tho land and tho delights of tho climate. In connection with his letter appears an article oopied from tho Pmr.six on the "Mutuality between land-holder and immigrant," which the editor commends to the attentiou of his read? ers. Wo learn from Mr. T. R. Gaiuos j that tho firm of Har.se & Browu, of Newport, Wales, propose to co-oporalo with his agency iu getting out immi- j grants for this State. They tire licensed emigration agents for South Wales, and propose to open cQlces in .Lou dou, Liverpool aud other places in Great Britain. Mr. Wintlo, who is now on a visit homu, will bring the subject of immigration to South Caro? lina pointedly before his countrymen, and will establish agoucies in this inte? rest. The Welsh, who settled the "Welsh Neck," iu Marlboro County, gave to tho couutry, in their descendants, many of its first oitizens and most dis? tinguished men. The narrative of the part they played in tho "OldCheraws" is one of thrilling interest. They were industrious citizens, sturdy pa? triots, sagacious and energetic culti? vators of the soil. We trust that we shall have another installment of these worthy people. They will bo welcome. They will have the stimulus of the distinction already won on our soil for their race by tho Welsh colony, which gave to South Carolina suoh names as Evans, Wilds, James, Jolly, Rogers, Tarrell, Kolb, Lido, Jouus and others of known repute iu the Eastern part of the State. Wo should bo glad, indeed, if we could receive another such Welsh colony. ????-. Alleged Opposition or the Prebi dent to the ClVIL rights BlLL.?It is thought tbat a olearer insight has been obtained into the reasons for the apathy whioh pervades the Republican party in the House regarding the Civil Bights Bill. The President, it seems, is against the bill, and from reports makes no conoealment of his opposi? tion even to the raoe to be benefited by the law. He was recently ap proaohed by a Republican Congress? man,(a colored man,) whodosired toob tain the President's ideas and opinious as to its adoption, alnoh to the asto? nishment of the member, and of all the colored men who bavo heard of it, the President expressed himself as do oidedly opposed to the bill. The co? lored men say the President has broken every promiso made to them during the campaign two years ago, and that tho defeat of the Civil Rights Bill is due to his iniluenco. General Butler is reported to have aild that he would oousent to tho striking out of I the free school clause. [New York Tribune. Elections in England are not models of fairness and decorum, and, indeed, are a great deal worse than our own; but then the injustice done at the polls is often redressed on petition. Thir > teen members of the projont House of 1 Commons have already been unseated for malpractices at the last general election?ono for bribery, one for cor? ruption, one for intimidation, aud five for "treatio," and there nro others to I hear from. That is the way they do things under a monarchical despotism. In our free aud glorioue couutry, a gentleman who gets into Congress by false certificates, or roturns of imagi? nary majorities, is likely to stay there as loug us he can keep on good terms with the party in power. Or, if his case is altogether too flagrant, ho is sent home goutly at the end of the session, with a large allowauco for pay, mileuge and expenses. Italian Vendetta in New Okleans. ^ New Orleans, in addition to its other troubles, is just now laboring under tho terrors of an Italian veudetla, aud two opposing Italian factious aro kill? ing each other with remarkablo equa? nimity. In tho latest instauco the murdered man was fearfully hacked with a large oheeso knife, but utterly rofusod to give the name of his assail? ant to the authorities, preferring that his death should be avenged by some member of his party. Thus far the authorities have been unable to put a stop to the sanguinary amusement of the Italians. What with overflows, civil rights, negro riots, Italiau ven? dettas, and too much "reconstruction," Louisiana is, indeed, to be pitied. ?.? . ?-- . The first car-load of freight was hauled over tho Euterprise Railway, Tuesday last. An Independent Pahty.?A conven? tion was held on Wednesday last at Springfield, Illinois, and another the same day at Indianapolis, both of whioh adopted the title of independent, and both seemed to have in view the formation of a third political party. Both conventions disclaimed any rela? tion with cither the Republican or Democratic parties, and practically ignored in their resolutions and plat? forms the fundamental differences be? tween the Administration and the Democracy, except where that differ? ence* touched upon the fiuauciiil policy of the country. Ou this question both conventions, evidently acting by preconcert, promulgated the theory of more paper money, to bo made by law a legal tender, und culled for tho in? crease, of m muoh paper money hb Congress may find it wise to issue iu accordance with what they termed the fluctuating needs uf the country. With the exception of bounce they entirely ignored the actual political questions of tho day. Iu placa of these, their resolutions and platforms adopt as a basis uf uctiou chiefly tho relations between labor and capital, indirectly charging upon capital utmost all the existing evils of tho country. In tho platform of the Indiana Con? vention eluss legislation is not only properly denounced, but it is asserted "that nil able-bodied, intelligent per? sons should contribute to the common stuck by useful industry a euai or guarantee equal to their own support, and legislation should tend us far as possible to the equitable distribution of tho surplus profits." It is also de? clared that "capital is uuv muster aud i dictates the terms, und thus all labor era ure placed iu tho same couditiou us the slave before his emancipation." There is a strong quiuting towards so? cialism in such utterances, und tho mero discussion of that doctrine has been frowned upon bv the people iu all scot ions of this couutry. We can? not believe that uuy considerable num? ber of the farmers of thu West sym? pathize with such ideas, it is not at all likely that the rank and file uf either the Republican or Democratic organi? zations will drift iu any large numbers into this independent party. [Baltimore Sun. A verdict ugaiuut the Western Uuiou Telegraph Company has just been ren? dered iu the New York Marine Court for 8312, at thu suit of H. B. Clafliu and others. The amount is unimpor? tant, compared with thu principle in? volved. The plaintiff's clerk handed to a telegraph operator a message to ouo of their salesmen, then traveling South, worded as follows: "Atlantic P twelve, D twelve oue half, off trade." Iu the transmission of the despatch, the D was changed to A, and, in couseqtteuce, thu sulestnau, after inquiring at the office iu Portage City of the operator if A was correct, sold twenty bales of A sheeting, being the best quality, at 14|a cents per yurd, the prico ut tho time being two cents higher?making a loss to plain tit! of $300, for which, with interest, Ibis suit was brought to recover. The defenoe wus, that it was a cypher message, aud was not ropoalod, as it should have beeu, under the conditions printed upon the company's blanks; also, that the salesman was negligent iu selling at a price lower than had beeu known for years. The verdict, however, was rendered against the oompany, as above stated. Tho Philadelphia Bulletin has found out who the American girl is that got the diamonds that figured in tho St. Petersburg scandal. It says that she is "Miss Ftenix." She is the daugh? ter of a former eminent clergymau in that city, whose career has beeu uue of continual profligacy for a dozen or more years pasr, duriug which time she has beeu twice married, her first husband dying suddenly iu West Vir? ginia, aud her uecoud, a young Now Yorker, whose name, it appears, she still wears, having married her iu Paris and afterwards separated from her. After a dashing career in America, this extraordinary young woman appears tu have bruught up iu St. Petersburg, and to have fascinated Nicholas Uou stautinovitch, u youth half-a-dozen years her junior nud thu nephew of tho Emperor, to such au extent that she has "got uway" with tho stoleu diamonds of the Graud Duchess Con? stantino, together with notes said to bo of tho value of 5,UUU,U00 fraucs.
