MET RESULT OF TWO HOURS WITH GOV,
MOSES.
A correspondent in South Carolina
writes that he has had q two hours con-
versalion with Gov. Moses, who was con-
tinuallY assuring him he was much in.
Jured man, and could prove that many Of
the charges brought against him were
untrue. When asked iOr the evidence,
however, he failed to produce It, He
admitted that his private character had
been bad, very bad. but denied having
taken part in any official corruption, vel
In the same breath he told tho story Of The
election tickets, and laughed heartily at

at his discretion he replied exciiedly "Oh

retary to Governor Pickens he said and
knew how the contingent funds had been
used before, and since the war there was
no law prevailing that the Governor
should give an account Of what he did
with the fund after 1t came into his
possession. 1t was not expected, how.
ever, that he would put the money In his
own pocket. Il was understood
that oil secret services Of the Government
we're to be paid out OF 1t. Speaking OF
the next election Moses said he was sure
oI receiving the regular Republican
nomination. The newspaper attacks
could not iDjure him, as his constituents

Chamberlin would be run as a boiling
candidate and If he developed great
deal Of strength and the Democrats had
sense enough TO nominate candidate II
was possible that both wings OF tho Re-
publican party could be defeated. Per-
sonally, Moses Is most agreeable in his
manners. BE Is quick and impulsiye in
speech, no doubt saying many things that
he Is sorry for afterwards. He Ia not vet
