Our friends wishing to Iiave advertisements lBB?rt?^rf tlie TIMES, must hand them in by "Tuesdaymorning, 10 o'clock. Hencefortll, nil legal Advertisements of County Interest, whether Notices or others; will be published for the benefit of out 1 eadera ?whether they are paid for or not. , "THE TEAPOT TEMPEST" Now "that'the c'ouds of battle havo drifted off, and the suspense is over,' wo ' ?tli ???-:?> Hf'J &QSUX ?U?oT*B .V>?i?f may inspect tho lato scene of the grandest fnreo, and give a: public opinion on the subject. In-ndvance it can be'pafoly stated that "the opportunity" of all that have presented themselves in Moses' career is lost; thb time to have been improved to convict him of theft, and acquit ?\? people of inertness, was neglected, or shamelessly misimproved; and wo may wait for a long time ere we catch the fox* ..again napping. The arrest of Humbert (County Treasurer) necessarily led to the iudictmentof Moses (thcGuvcmor) Why? Simfdy. on tho ground that Humbert held Moses' order for $0000 which be drew from the tax fund and applied to a private transaction; Sonr.c contend that this was the price Humbert had to pay for receiving appointment; be that ns it may ; Moses got from, the treasury, what tho people were wrung to pay for stipu lated appropriations, and the treasury was rifled at his instigation, ttnd with his instructions, ho receiving the proceeds to be applied to his purposes. Again; what were the purposes to be carried out; only those of buying the political control of a partisan newspaper to forward his ends in a mission of degraded villainy, and r if needs be, to re-elect him to tho position ? he now holds, as a branded and perjured _man. We write what we know ; surmiso has no place here, and it is time that the ' mask of dissimulation be torn from the putreScent body politic, which whether, organized or disorganized, is now with free-cr and bolder baud polluting and defiling tho constituent elements of soci ety and law. Moses was indicted by the grand jury of Orangeburg at its lato term upon which tho Sheriff was sent with ? bench .warrant from Judge Graham lor his arrest: His answer was a threat of hi? militia ; his threat meant to plunge a State in anarchy and bloodshed to shield the man Moses from the demands of the law. The following day his couusel ap peared and expressing their willingness to test the charge, on their motion a day (the 29th) was set for his oppearaucc (not as the King "jure divino" nor as Commander in chief) but as a citizen, accused of violating the laws of the State to which he and all others owe allcgieucc. Meantime he puts in the public prints the message of defiance over his unofficial name, "he would not consent to arrest." Then was the time; that was the hour; an order repeated by the Court that first signed the bench warrant, would have brought the man Moses dead or alive; law would have been supreme, and the plundering pirate who dared call his crew around him Would have expatedhis crimes before nn insulted Court. But tho 29th came, and a breathless multitude, who respected law, saw not Moses; hut his representatives, add in open Court despite the bold remonstrance of the State, which (teiuaudcd'lhc accused, who had bound himself ;o appear, there was thrown over the culprit tho aegis of sacred office, and tho limits already defiled by the monstrous crimes of a degbue'd wretch, defied the approach ofJusliec. Well did tho bystanders turn away with heavy hearts, seeing uh they did that the State in its assembled mnjcs'y, was kicked from tho Courtroom by tho creature Moses; Well may tho ppypjo tremble lest this man who repudiates law, should be tho first to call from, its slecpiug scab bard tho sWord. Moses has triumphed again; and law is outraged; Ho the blame whine .it may, that is public opinion. THE BOOMERANG. !Northern sentiment begins to feel tho jiiirae of "republican license," and North ern journals begin to sniff not unwillingly t {]$ doctrines of the only unsullied States-1 man Calhoun; in quoting how that "States' rights" nro a check to patty power. Tho liberality of radicalism has been expended on the black, who in his untutored state was unfit do wear becomg ingly the garb of civil rights, far less to rule over his superior. He has been but a tool, a lump of putty in the hands of bis whilom friends; they shaped him at will, and every feature was a uudget of gold iu the'pockets of his friends. He is the avowed enemy of honesty, pence, and law, Iiis friends nro tho wire pullers be hind the scene blinking and grinning at the Tarne. He raises to power governors and rulers, who belie confidence, rob the Stale, and snicker at justice, and the freeman is as bewildered in his abnormal rights, as ho is in the falsity of his lead ers, yet the farco goes on, until Northoi n j white men begin to think that radicalism aud beastly rule arc synonymous. "Will a change come. STATE NEWS. Watermelons have made their appear ance in Columbia. Com is worth $2,00 per bushel in Greenwood, Abberville County. The grand jury of Fairfield County have refused to grant tavern licenses to liquor dealers in the county. 11,770 acres of land has been forfeited to the State for delinquent tuxes in Clar endon County for this fiscal year.

Tho Aikcu Journal says: We learn that there arc seventy nine candidates for the Legislature in Georgetown County.

Ho has left tho State and is now in Bal timoro A correspondent of the Port Royal Commercial and Standard suggests Judge J. J. Malier, of Barnwell, ns a suitable candidate for Governor.

Tiiis is in accordance with an amendment to, the Stale Consti tution? adopted by the p oplo at thu election in .1072, und subsequently rati fied by the general Assembly. The. Republican papers rail attention to the iact that,although County Audi tor llcudrix, of Lexington, is the first officer' to make his settlement for I 73 with tho Comptroller-General, and with hot one mill discrepancy in the accounts of tho three offices, yet Hb'ndrix is re moved "for cause," while bis successor walks up to the Captain's bfti'cd and fails to r pall his own mime, correct)' on his bond.

HBP Concerning tho South.

On the contrary South Carolin a j roal estate is offered at less than one-half its intrinsic value, and people seem to have nil their pluck ta ken out of them by tho frightful binden of taxation and Stute debt. He thinks tho South is at the edge of nn era of great prosperity, in those States whose political condition will permit new busi ness enterprises. The Northern men who went South nnd pushed into politics do not fairly represent our" intelligence, in telligence, industry, or manners, and have made their way for the most part "By ways that arc dark and tricks that are vain." The misfortune was that at first the South'mistook these people as fair specimens of Northern men. It has now found out its mistake, and is giving a hearty welcome to Northerners of en tcrprise nnd standing.
