OF the State treasurer for the fiscal year
ending October 81, 1871, although money
has been borrowed by, or realized out Of.
sa'd bonds on account of this state; and
whereas the credit Of this State has beou
affected thereby"
The sections which followed, declared
that the eaid bonds were duly and lawfully
issued, in conformity with the true intent
and meaning of the several acts of the gem
cral assembly, that the acts of the officers
issuing them are ratified confirmed and es-
tablished, that said bonds are declared to
be legal and valid; and that an annual tax
shall be levied to pay the interest and redeem
theY-
The settlement bill may be summed up in
the title. 1t accepted Kimpton's balance
sheet, aud relieved him of oil responsible
ty.
To get these bills passed taxed the powers
and influence of all Interested. There was
ut first, great reluctance in the house 10
proceed with them. F. J. Moses, Jr., the
speaker, was alI-powerful. IIe was secur.
cd doubtless by the only means known to
move him to act good or bad on q legisla-
tive measure. They were passed, and If
there is one man moro responsible than
auothe for them, it IL the author Of the
Sumter speech, who therein takes immense
credit to himself for repudiating the con-
version bonds. lie voted for the acts au-
'horizing them; he made it necessary to
pledge them, lie validated and confirmed
them, end he rerudiatcd them. Ia there
anything in his history in connection with
them which will guarantee US in believing

Moses and the Bonds.

The debt Of the state up TO November 81 +,
1870 amounted to only $9,sS5. G22.35. The
validity of this part of the bonds has never
been questioned by any onc although fifty
per cent. of it has been virtually reoudiatcd
under Moses administration. Two weeks
previous to that date F. J. Moses, Jr, was
elected for second time speaker of the
house Of Representatives. lie had obtained
during his previous term such control
ove- the republican members that from the
day Of his second election he was virtually
the autocrat Of that body.
His effort to put upon others the responsi-
bility for an increase Of the public deb t,
and to take such credit rs may belong o
the reputation of it, is of piece with tho
rest Of his audacity. In erery act of leyisia-
ton necessary to authorize The issue of bonds the

done, conflict must inevitably come, and
in that event thcre will be no such thing
here as asphodcl meadows, nor will tho
lion and the lamb be seen lying lown
together.
But all this can be avoided by demon
strnting practically our desire to improve the
Government Let us, in tho first place, dis :
card Moses, the most colossal corruptionis- /.
Of modern times. He is perfectly reckless
in every RESPECT, and otherwise untitled to
continue in public position. II is said that
Prometheus fichcd fire from Heaven, but
we venture the opinion that if Moses had
the power to cntor that holy place, he would
not como away without committing some
larccneous act. Hence, we must throw
him overheard, as the initiative step towards
complete reformation throughout the
State. Next, let us elect honest and capable
men TO the Legislature. An upright Cover
nor can do but little for good, if surrounded
by n set Of legislative thieves. Men should
be sent 10 represent the people who will
refuse 10 join secret band, organized for
the ostcnsible purpose OF engineering
through corrupt measures. What is the use
of Governors veto against sworn league?
If money can pass rotten bill, or put
through fraudulent claim, it can override
and crush an executive protest Elect
honest men, and there will be no necessity
for the Governor to intcrposc in the behalf
of the people. Instruct your representa-
tives to shun the famous band known as
the money making league, in legislative
parlaucc. Honest lawmakers should have
no secrets in their of1icia! capncity. This
they cannot do il they follow the lead OF u
Bowly, and others we might mention.
OF vas: importance, also, is the nom!na-
tion of good County officials. The people
ure more directly interested in the admins.
tration of County affairs than that of the
States. They have sole charge of the
collection and disbursement of the taxes :,
which, if II Of properly expended, will result
to the direct injury Of The taxpayers. In
n word, the Republicans owe the Conscr WI
tive party that which it has n right to de-
mand, namely, an upright and honest
Government. We owe it, too, to ourselves
20 strain every nerve in the endravor to
place acceptable men in the fold. If we go
to work calmly, coo!ly and with firmncs /,
victory will perch upon our banner again
this fall. On the other hand, il wo dis
regard both the warnings from without and
the teachings from within, then confusion
and disaster vii! most surely sing tho
requiem of our defeat.

No measure Of legislation to whish he ,vas
heartily opposed euer passed thai baby, and no
bill became a lato against rhicA he thre,, the
Dhote weiyht Of his Influence At the begin
ingning Of his second term as speaker, two
schemes were inaugurated which subse-
quently swallowed up almost tho entire
amount of the money raised by taxation
These were the Pri lting Swindlc and the
Pay Certificate Fraud. In both Of them F.
j. Moses, Jr., was prominent enough, but
in the latter he was the grand head centre.
10 these two gigantic steals may be traced
the subsequent financial straits which had
their cu'mination in the issue of The CON
version bonds aud their sacrifice during the
panic after the Chicago fire. Their incep-
tion, organization and continuance were
due to the ingenuity, Influence aud exam
pie of Speaker Moses. Neither could have
succeeded without him. BY means Of them
he bought his way into the place which he
now disgraccs
