Political Gatherings.

Monday the usual qaietude was bro
ken by large political gathering al
the Brick Church. Senator Smalls was
the leading spirit, and his disciples Was
there in large numbers, and their en-.
thusiasm was as boundless as the ocean,
to cay nought of the depth. Many Id
dicrous incidents occurred to the ora.
torical portion, commencing with the
breaking down of the rostrum, when
cart was improvised, and that acciden-
tally tipped up spilling the speakers in
the sand. We hope these episodes are
not symbolic.
In the evening Beaufort was shook
from centre to circumference by the ii.
dal wave of political enthusiasm. The
opposing Senatorial faction lad a
torchlight procession, and procession
without torches; lanterns innumera'
BILE, rockets and Roman candles and
candles that have never seen Rome,
Lightwood by the cord or less, to fire
the indigenous multitude to an awful
sense of the great responsibility resting
on their medium and herculean shoul'
ders. Each man and boy no doubt,
imagined themselves a Toussant
L'Ouvreture. The patriotic drum kept
tolerable time to the irrepressible fife,
and we made up our minds that the
candidate would be elected or defeated
at the election. On that point there is
little room for argument. a similar &C
cident occurred here as on St. Helena,
The speakers stand found itself unable
to bear such mass of intellect and
down it came, burying in its debris the
speakers, and injuring several persons
severely. One individual had hisleg
broken, another had his shoulder some
what injured, and a woman was more
or less confused.
When lull occurred and the surg
ing multitude were calmed down tc re-
spectability we could hear very distinct
ly fraud" ''ring," ruined credit, y
"bonds" and such familiar words ring
ing out clear upon the evening air: but
it was such disjointed lot of adjec-
tives that we will not attempt to fill up
the interstices like a speech, for 1t
would only prove to be a reiteration O.
what has been said so often that it
reads like proverb. What time the
meeting broke up we don't know, we
were we'll satisfied that a calm would
follow such an agitation, and peace and
quietncss once more spread its drapery
over Bay street.

MEPHISTOPHELIAN MOSES.

A Neighbours Opinion of the 'Ring"
Candidate for Gu5ernatorial HonOrs
Noses "a Central Colossus in a
Ring Of Thieves"
A correspondent Of the Sumter Neacs
who seems to be thoroughly familiar
with the ways of F. j. Moses, Jr., says:
As an humble citizen, and almost
hopeless of the future, I have been op-
posed for years past to taking any part
in contentious between parties in the
State. But since the partial develop.
ments of Moses high-handed and whole
sale depredations upon the public funds,
I must confess | cannot calmly face the
certain consequence of his election to
the Goveynorship of the State, while
circumstances afford chance for his de-
feat. Let Tomlinson be what he may.
Let him be as bad as his worst political
enemies would represent him, still [ can
not believe that any one age can produce
more than one monster of such an
Unsuitable NAV and such hell-bor enter
prise in financial deviltry as this same
Frank Moses. He had the bare faced
ehrontery in a recent speech before a
Charleston meeting, to use the following
astonishing language, viz: II can say
with a clear conscience that the white
! and black people of my native county
and town know that not one of these
charges is true-I need no defence before
them" The devil himself can't beat
this for brazen-faced impudence.
There is not man, woman or school,
boy, white or black, in this County of
Sumter, who is not perfectly satisfied,
that Frank Moses has robbed the public
treasury on a most gigantic scale. Every
body in his native County knows that at
the time he got into Office in the Radical
party, he was as poor as any of us. If
it was possible that Frank Moses was an
honest man, then he is emphatically the
biggest fool on record, for not showing
the public how he comes in possession OF
such vast amount of money. On a
salary of $4,000, he feasts and revels
with the reckless abandon of a spend
thrift millionaire, and yet asks for proof
Of his dishonesty. He parades in osten
tatious arrogance, the exquisite perquis-
ties of public plumber in open day, and
faun's in the very faces Of the people,
the shining trophies of his matchlesS
skill in fraud, and cries, prove Inc a
robber. This peacock vanity displays
gratuitously, and absolutely forces upon
public view, evidence abundant, pointed
and damning, and yet he has the internal
impudence to call for proof. He stands
to-day before the bar of public opinion
as plainly stamped with crinlinallty as #
public thief was branded on his forehead.
As well might proof be demanded that
the sun is shining while his meridian
rays illumine a cloudless sky. Indeed
he seems to have cxerted his utmost TO
show himself a central Colossus in ring
Of thieves, and thereby establish his
claim to the highest place Of honor in
the kingdom Of Rogucdom. And could
the honest property-ho!der be safe from
his clutches, We should say, by all means
let him wear the crown without rival,
present or prospective.

whelps. The jewel of fail play should
be found even in the mirl cesspool of
political warfare, and when writers
and pettifoggers are not willing to take
as well as give, then they should leave
this antagonistic field for some other
occupation.
Since the above was in type the
thieves have repented and brought
back the type, but as to the act itself
we cannot recall word ne have writ
ten.

plies that he knows of no relief to be
afforded to purchasers by the State.
The claimant under tax title has the
same privilege as any other claimant
and can appeal to the courts. He
alludes to the proverbial uncertainty
of tax titles and assumes that bidders
took such risks into confederation
when purchasing land at the sales by
the State.
