The lioycrnorshib.

The interest in tho gubernaterial
election Of next fall is being increased
from drv to day. Tho question is,
shall frank Moses be renominated
by the Republicans or not7 There
are a great many, very great many
and very influential Republicans,
who are opposed to Moses, and the
preponderancc of opinion is that he
cannot secure the next nomination:
lie has lost his main friends in the
party. Patterson and WorthiDg .on,
who were amongst his chief supporA
tcrs last year, have deserted him.
Il. Is. Elliott, too, who did more,
perhaps, than any one else to secure
Moses's nomination in the last con-
vcntiou, is how bitterly opposed to
him, and it is difficult to see where
aloscs's strength is to como from out
side of himself. There is not lead

earnestly, and he has offended nearly

Is proposed to impeach Gov. Moses

Tho charges are, in brief, that the
| Governor received heavy bribe for
approving the printing bill Of last
session, amounting to $325,o00--that
he made corrupt arrangement with
view to his last nomination, pledg.
ing his fathers (the chief justicc) de-.
cision upon the validity of tho Blue
Ridge scrip, and that he has been in.
tluenced in the exercise Of his power
of patronage by sordid and corrupt
motives. 1t is hardly probable that
the impeachment will be made, but
it is very certain that it is oontemo
plated by certain parties, for 1 have
seen tho articles of impeachment

Thr F1lly OF Expansion,

A valued friend and O shire we'd
business man sends us the following
illustration Of what he conccives to
bo the absnrdity of trying to save
the commercial community by Ok.
phnding the national currency:
The idea of making tho currency
more efficient by increasing its volume
is quite as absurd as it would be for
cloth dealer to think of facilitating
bis operations by multiplying his
CARDS sticks. Two or four yard sticks
IN one mans hands would measure
no more cloth than one. Nor would
the process be expedited, though the
Government should enact that eaoh
yard measured by four sticks should
be called four yards and should pass
current for four. In the last case the
merchant would indeed have q greater
number Of yards, nom'naNy. but no
moro cloth than before. He would
in no way be benefited, uhless he
had old debts to pay in yards, which
ho could discharge in tho new meas
ure, one being equal to tour. In
this way he would save three e.quartcrf
of his cloth and become rich at the
cost Of his creditors. .--Augusta Con-

Trouble in the Wigwam.

A correspondent of tho Augusta
Constitutionalist does not givo an cx-
actly correct version of the little diff.
iicuity between ex.Comptroller Ne.'
gle and Governor Moses which took
plac, last week. Neagle had eu-
dorsed for Moses, who forgot to meet
the note, but Neagle did not present
n pistol to Moses heart and demand
payment. He threatened to kill his
Excellency, but "1Ionest John" acted
as peacomakcr, and a "confession of
judgment" rcrved to placato the in
dlgnant Neagle. 1t is said, besides,
that the consideration for the en-
dorsemcnt was the promise of Moses.
which he did not KEEP, to appoint the
notorious Foster Blodge't to be treas,
urcr Of one Of tho upper counties.
That is the version of tho story which
has come to Charleston.-Ncws and

Moorish Brides.

| The condition of women in NIoroc-
co is most pitiable. They are slaves,
and tho lot of those who are SO avow-
edly and technically is much less
miserably dull, monotonous and de-
graded than that of the ladies who are
supposed to reposo on satin divans,
| sip sherbet, cat dainty devices in
sugar, and string pearls in the harcm ;
in which their occupations arc in
prosaic, and their surroundings much
loss splendid. The wedding fcs,ivi.
ties are exceedingly barbarous, tho
unhappy bride being carried to her
husbands house in box, on q mules
back, with little boy also shut up
with her in durance, as happy prog
nostio of tao future. A box of sweet
meats is also placed in the box, to
while away the time, and console the
the small boy. \ horrible noise,
bowling, firing, is kept up the whole
way and the female relations of the
bridegroom, who does not appear at
oil, receive her in the threshold with
appalling shrieks of, "Ah--yce ! All
zee !" The box is carried in, the
door is shut, the fritnds disperse, but
the musicians remain, and the horri-
ble din goes on for hours. No reli.
gious ceremony takes place, and tho
fattening of the bride is the only
preparation on her part for holy mat
rimony. "For this purpose" says
the author of GA Winter in Moroc
CO.," "from the time of her betrothal
she IS confined TO ono room, not
permitted to take any exercise, and
compelled to swallow large quanti-
ties of kosksoo every day. This
system, steadfastly pursued for few
weeks, brings her into condition of
what is considered Morocco be-
coming obesity. have heard Of an
intended bride ST fat that she was
unable to pick up her pocket hand
kerchief when she dropped it, and
who could with difficulty move across
the room without assistance"
A Moorish bride must,wo think, DC
rather curious spectacle, according
to the following description of a merco
ly ordinary specimen "Nothing
of her shape or figure was visible
through tho enormous mass of clothes
in which she waa ,e,,vc'Gnccd She
"au Certainly several pounds weight
of jewelry hanging on her shoulders
and cht St. Her wris werc encum-
bered with ina.Sivc man"c:ts Of gold
and silver, while every one Of her
fingers were covered with rings up
TO the first knuckle. Her face was
painted thickly white all over, and
checks then coarscly daubcd with
vermillion. The lids of her eyes and
eyebrows were blackencd, the latter
being thus brought to meet ahoyo
her nose. But tho most ridiculous
and repulsive part of tho "getting
up" were two triangular patches,
about tho size of half-crown pieces,
upon tho lower part of her cheeks,
ingeniously painted in q pattern of
various colors. She had star of
the same on tho forehead, between
her eyes, and another OH her chin.
When her eyes were open, and wo
could see them, they were ms vacant
and e&pressionless as the orbs of one
of Madame Tussaud's wax figures"

Tho South and Cuba ?

a war with Spain is demanded In
the interests of Civilization, for tho
vindication of tho National Honor
and to wipe out tho stain upon the
National Flag.
/ Such phrases, echoed on the stump
and re-echoed hy the press, strike
home to every Southern heart. The
, South knows, if no othor country does;
what is tho practical value of Amer
lean civilizations. Napoleon said :
"Scrape the Russian and you Gnd the
Cossack." The South says: "Scratth
this boastcd civilization, and you find
beneath it brute barbarism which
revels in public immortality, and
delights in Furnishing conpuered
foe by making him the thrall of his
own slave" BY all means let the
South fight for the perpetuation and
extension of American civilization.

1t has given the South moro kicks that
coppcrs. 1t was that National Honor
which served as tho excuse for tho
atrocities of the Confederate war, for
the waste and rapipc of tho march to

and which was in tho mouths of pinlps
and blacklcgs when the State govern
mcnts were set aside, and South Car
olina and her sisters we're tied hand
and foot and turned over to the mer-
cics of white rogucs and black igno.
ramuses. BY all meaus let the South
hasten to its vindication. And the
National Flag? A pretty flag enough,
the only one we have; but why should
the South be expected to bear it in
the van Of battle. The South can be
made, iu time, to feel that an insult
offered to the Uuitcd States is an ins
suit to her every son the flag can
again be made dear. But there must
first II change of tactics on the
part Of the North. When our breth-
rem of the North treat us, in times of
peace, as they treat themselves, we
shall he ready to stand by them in
times of war; but tho South does OF
care to be made convenience of-a
