CHARLES MOORE, politician and emigrant
swindler, has been tried and convicted in New
York. 1t took a good many months to accom-
plish this result, though there was no manner
of doubt of the mans guilt; and it would be en-

A Plaintiye Voice from the Lobby.

The parade in the PRESS of Saturday
which Pereie makes of some of the railroad
attorneys before the Legislature, is not only
IN bad taste, but not warranted by the facts.
Corporations as well as individuals have the
right OF petition and it is legitimate for them
TO retain attorneys to represent them. 1t
seems uncalled for and unjust to parade all of
these gentlemen as lobbyists and indirectly or
directly insinuate against them as men of
nonor and trust. 1t is one thing to attack a
cause an attorney represents, and quite an
3 other thing to attack the attorney who repre-
sents his client. Attorneys who appear be-
fore Legislatures openly as the representa-
tives of their clients cannot be regarded as
lobbyists, and an effort to place them in that
light before the public, is unjust and should
be condemned. When the time comes that
parties cannot retain attorneys to represent
them, then deny also the right of petition.
Thus mourns correspondents of the argus
The last thing we should think. of doing
would be defend 'Percie'' or to complain of
the want of gallantry displayed in attacking
woman,-and doing it anonymously. She
is amply capable of taking care of herself
Her pen is keener and more facile instru-
ment than that of the chivalrous author of
the above extract whom she has dignifed by
giving him place in her letters. What we
do wish to call attention to is his morbid SEN
sitiveness. Never was a communication
printed less calculated to give offence than
Percie's. Every person mentioned in it was
treated with the utmost courtesy. We are
very certain that the censure of our cores
pendent contained in the above paragraph
was not written by any subject of her sketch
who has simply attended to his legitimate du-
ties as an attorney. An honorable attorney
who serves his client faithfully but honorably
at the capitol need feel neither afraid nor
ashamed. The argus correspondent must
be, therefore, one of the persons who has
been approaching members with the s'money,
money, MONEY" spoken of the other day by
the member from Thomaston. We can make
no conjecture as to the gentleman's name
we don't want to know it. Perhaps he is
not even one of the persons mentioned in
"Percie's" letter, but fears he may, be drag
ged into the light in some future epistleSH
There are men who have been connected with
the lobby this winter whose disinclination to
publicity-even through the pleasant and
kindly medium Of our correspondents letters
we can easily appreciate.

The Fatal Twelfth,

Prof Plantamour, a Gencvan as
trOnomcr of some Importance, calcu-
lates that the earth will collide with
a comet of hugh proportions at pre-
cisely -four o'clock, on the twelfth
day of next August. His theory and
views have been published and conf
mented on by all fthe European SCI
entil periodicals, some of them treat
the subject seriously and some hui
morously and half sairically. Some
undertake to comfort the world by
stating that comets are made of
very rare and flimsy material, and
that no injury would be sustained, if
there were collision-that our earth
would 60 through it like a cannon
ball through Whit of steam, and
would not receive any more injury.
According to the Professors state
ment the approaching comet is an
enormously large one one to which
all others that have appeared were
but as curl of smoke, a phantom, a
mere guess at.what a comet ought to

Sumner Will not support
Grant.

Washington Correspondent Chicago Times.
Mr.. Bowen, the editor and propri-
etor of the N. Y. Independent, has
been in Washington for several days
canvsssing public opinion. On Sum
day last he devoted as much time as
possible to interviewing Charles
Sumner. lie came here a Grant man
and as such, called upon Mr.. Sumner.
Mr.. Bowen was not long in finding
out the Senator's opinion of, and flu
ture purpose relative to U. s. Grant.
Mr.. Sumner said: 81 am satisfied
that Grant is a dishonest man. That
is sufficient to justify me in saying
most positively that l cannot and
shall not support him. For other
reasons he is not fit to be President
of the United States. lie is ignorant
of the details of civil government,
and does not manifest a disposition
to learn them. He is venal, ambitious,
vulgar in his habits, and possesses a
cunning which is low and logged.
lie has a strong will, but is never
controlled by reason, hence becomes
perversc, and the man, when he
should bc most yielding and gentle.
manly, is most obstinate and I'M
manly. Such a man is unfit to be
President of the United States, and
most unfit to be the candidate of the
Republican party. lie ought not to
be nominated by that party, and
shall not be if l can help it. l can
not hOnOrably support a party that
will sustain such a man."
Mr.. Bowen then propounded t.
Mr. SUMNER the following question
Suppose the convention should place
your colleague, Mr.. WILSON, on the
ticket with Mr.. GRANT, what would
you do in that case 2" 81 would OPP
pose it." was the prompt response of
Mr.. SUMNER.

The DeplOrable Condition Of
South COrOlin;t.

The condition of South Carolina is
deploraclc. In the days of secession
it was the greatest offender. In the
days of recol s.ruction il is the great
est sufferer.
True to the souvenirs Gifts FORM
or history, il precipitated the slave
holders rebellion, and led its hosts
to their doom. 1t sought in its bloody
arbitrsment on the field Of battle, and
bloody arbitrament it has been.
With 10000 voters, and no foreign
population, it put 10000 soldiers in
the field. The end came, and South
Carolina is black with dcsolation.
The smoke and the fire of the civil
war assembled from every household.
and the stain of blood was on the
garments of every survivor. Its
young men had swiftly gone down
to bloody graves till the dead out
numbered the living. The means of
support were swept away as by fire
and whirlwind. Havoc aud spoil
and ruin were its only gain. This
is where the end of the rebellion left
South Carolina. What has been its
condition since? What is its condi.
ton now? .s-.-.. ...... ....
The population of the State is
something over four hundred thous-
and blacks, and something under
three hundred thousand whites. The
result of the war has made a greater
disproportion i'm the comparative
numbers of the voting population.
These arc estimated to be in the pro-
portion of 10000 whites to $1,000
black voters, the aggregate being
over 100000. But in the Legislature
out ofl24 members, there are but I3
representatives of the white minority.
The rest of the Assembly is black,
with the exception that here and
there is a white representative of a
black contituency. There are enough
of these, along with few colored
people, to lead the great mass of ig-
norance and barbarism of which the
main body is composed.
Without going into details, il is
enough to say, that the men who
lead and manage the Legislature and
the State government are thieves
and miscreants. The great body OF
the Legislature are the ignorant and
corrupt instruments with which the
leaders work, and though the indi-
viduals comprising this mass are
bought and sold like cattle in the
market, their vcnality i'm some cases
is relieved of its criminality by
reason of the denseness of their ig-
norance. Numbers of the blacks
v h) occupy seats in the Legislature
regard themselves only in the light
