Governor Moses.

In another column, this morning, we
publish shocking charge, or rather Sc
ries of charges, made against the Cover
nor of South Carolina by the editor Of
the Colleton IS. c. Gazette. The crimes
which he is charged with committing are
of such horrible nature that we should
hesitate to reputlish them were it not for
the quarter in which they originate. The
Gazette is not an opponent Of the Repub-
iican party; it is neither rebel nor a
Ku-Klux paper On the contrary, it is a
Radical journal of the most pronounced
stripe, and is run in the interest Of the
dominant party of South Carolina. 1t
cannot be charged that the article is the
offspring Of political malice or partisan
hatred 1t is not q traitors onslaught on
a loyal man. 1t is emphatically family
quarrel. But 1t Is also matter in which
all the people of South Carolina are in
terested. fit is lalsehood Gov. Moses
owes it to himself and 10 the position
which he occupies to vindicate his charac
ter from the foul aspersions Of the editor
Of the Colleton Gazette. Ii it is the truth
the people of South Carolina have also a
duty to perform They owe it to them
selves and to their State Powerless at
the ballot box, they should appeal to the
Criminal Courts to rid the Executive

The Griffin (Ga.) News has the follow
ing sensible remarks in regard to this al
fair:
The over-virtuous journals are making
this unfortunate difficulty the occasion Tor
perfect storm OF abuse on what they
term the barbarism Of duelling." True,
the code" has been brought somewhat
into disreputc Of late years, by the wa
in which ignorant parties have settled
their disputes under 1t, but 10 man can
demonstrate that it is not better to settle
difficulties by its provisions, than the or,
dinary street rows. The code" is the
very essence Of honor, apd there have been
hundreds of personal differences settled
by an appeal to it, where there has been
one actual meeting under it.
1t is more than ridiculous lor the NUT
ton heads OF the country 10 term the
1sode" barbarous, when the highest types
Of gentlemen, the most cultivated, chlval,
rous, refined, elegant gentlemen the world
ever produced, have lived by it, sanction
ed it, and demons tratcd that it was the
most satisfactory way Of adjusting diff
culties, when its provisions were properly
understood.
We have not seen the full particulars OF
the Cooley-Rhett difficulty butwe have no
hesitancy in saying that If they We're de-
termined to fight, it was best that they
fought like they did, rather than have a
street difficulty, in which some innocent
party might have been killed.

Governor Moses and the ColletOn Ga
zette.

The Colleton Gazette, Radical news
paper. Of which Mr.. G. +. Mcintyre,
State Senator from ''o.le.on, Is editor'and
proprietor, has printed! from week to week,
for several months past, series OF charges
of the gravest kind against the public and
private character of the Governor of this
State. These charges are strlkingly cir
cumstantial, andnanies, dates and amounts
are given with what appears to be studied
carefulncss to say nothing that cannot be
sustained 10y irre!ragable proof
No notice whatever has Geen taken OF
these charges by Governor Moses himself;
nor, to our knowledge, have any Of bis
hcnchmen taken M ;he cudscls ior him.
This, under ordinary circumstances might
pass Tor the silent contempt which pub
lie officer, conscious OF his purity, treats
the slandrr OF his politica! enemies, But
Senator Mcintyre is Us s'aunch kadi
o.! as Governor Moses is, and has at least
as .co,. character. Nor is Senator Nc
Intyre the only person who has assaled
the Executive. Between the Senator from
Colleton and Messrs Corbin and Tomlin-
son and other Boiling Republicans, IN the
canvass Of 1872, the difference is only one
OF degree. Yet there has not been a word
Of explanation on the one side, or OF re-
traction on the other.
It was not our purpose to notice, at this
time, the dnslaughts of the Gazette, but
the statements made about Governor
Moses, in It's last issue, are so revoltlng as
10 demand instant attention. The charges
are too foul to be even limited at but this
we may say: If the Colleton Gazette tells
the truth, Governor F. j. Moses, Jr.. is the
mast infamous OF public men; and if the
Colleton Gazette does not tell the truth,
its editor and proprietor richly deserves
long term in the State Penitentiary. 1t
is not for us to say whether Mcintyre or
Moses is the real criminal. We know
nothing more about this thing than we
see printed in the columns of the Gazette
But it is evident that Governor Moses
cannot afford to remain silent. Only his
worst enemies would advise him to keep
his mouth shut in the face OF charges IN
finitelv more heinous than those which,
after months of proud reserve, forced
man like Henry Ward Beecher to public
and peremptory denial of their truth.
Gore,nor Hoses must speak, or be con-
demned by default The alternative is not
a pleasant one; but there 1t is, and from
it there is no escape.-News & Courier,

Our North Georgia Correspondence.

PORTER SPRINGS, Ga. July II, 1873.
Dear. Adveatiser.-well Mr.. P. and
your humble; servant have: bcenperan-
bulatfng the County around aIittle to-
day, and have met some familiar faces,
and have made some pleasant acquaifs
tances. Those who come here for amuse-
mcnt will be disappointed. Among the
visitors are some in high position. We
have the Secretary of State of Georgia,
one M. C.-anl others Of more or less
distinction. All in search Of health
and ill seem cheerful and hopeful of
success in their pursuit.
Our Hotel piazza is in full view of the
mountains. The breeze delightful. I
went to bed last night with cold feet and
slept urder winter covering. Can scarce
lv realize that it is near the middle of
July.
People seem to bc travelling in every
direction, among and over the noun
tains We propose trip across the
mountains next week. learn that these
mountaineers are constantly on the look
out Tor revenue officers. Indeed, one
was killed little above this q few days
ago. Report says you can scarcely travel
a mile without coming across gold pits.
They are all over the country in places.
I have seen some mills in operation.
Approaching Dahlonega in the evening,
we saw men coming out Of the branches
in every direction from their work. The
branches are kept cleaned out by the
miners. ItloolSs to mo like slow busi-
ness, and I am told that but few succeed.
You remember that the U. S. Mint was
at Dahlonega up to the war. The prop
erty, large building, has been given by
Congress to the North Georgia Agricul-
tural College, and is, now used for educa-
tional purposes, with near two hundred
scholars. We happered there on their
commencement occasion. A goodly
number of visitors were present. The
editor. of tho local paper has promised
me report of the school, which I will
try and send you.
Dahlonega was once fourishing viii
lage, but like our Edgefield is kept to-
gether now only by being the County
seat. The Air line running not nearer
than 25 miles. Not a particle of appear
ance of improvementvisble Everything
seems dilapidated. I am told that The
Air Line will be running through in a
few days. We hope to return on it via
Greenville, S. G. This will be a great
thoroughfare; our own C. C &C. A. R. r..
will feel it's effect.
The crops from Augusta to Atlanta
seem very poor. Worse if possible than
our own. The cotton made along that
route can not BE remunerating at less
than thirty cents per pound--and the
corn must bring 80 per bushel. Without
these prices some one must lose money.

Something About Iron Ties--A MOn-

Iron ties have now come INTO general
use all over the cotton States, and their
sales amounts to millions annually. The
man who first invented them died very
poor. The tic then had six holes and a
"slot." A manufacturer paid his widow
$4,000 for the patent. He could do moth
ing with it and finally disposed Of his IN
terest for $4,000. The ties were greatly
improved and either last year or the yeas
before there,were forty-two varieties manu-
featured in the United States. The com
pany that had purchased the original right
sued all of them for an infringement OF
their patent and gained the cause before
the United States Court. All the invent
ors had retained the original slot" the
aperture in the metal BY which the 6. tie is is
secured, or some modification Of it.. So
now only one company. can make these
tie, and they are turned out in immense
quantities.
In consequence ties have advanced from
four and FIVE to nine cents.-Columbus
