Here is richness for you from the Sa-
vannaht AdorNser. It relates that Mr..
Montmollin, of that city. is under some
sentence OF punishment for an alleged
violation of the lars Of South Carolina;
that Mr.. J. D. Robertson, whom it
terms Senator. but who is member Of
the House OF Representatives OF this
State from Beaufort County, lately ap.
preached Mr. Montmollin, protesting
himself to be tho, agent of Governor
Moses. with q proposition to dismiss the
case. if he would fork over to him $500.
Mr.. Montmoilin very naturally showed
him the door. aud subsequently had him
arrested for libel in connection with
this same case, and bound over to appear
at the criminal tenn Of the court. The
Adoertiser represents J. D. Robinson's
face as wreathed in smiles. his voice mel
lowed and softened as it conveyed this
dishonest proposal. We think We see
him, this man whose speeches in favor
OF reform were always oontradicted
point blanc by his votes. Will Mr..
Robertson explain this new effort OF his
to abste the rigor OF the criminal laws OF
the state? or will Governor Moses 40.
knowledge him as his plsnipotentiary to
our sister city Of Savannah to settle by
acceptance of douceurs the injury done
the majesty of these laws of sovereign,
Radical, Republican State?
