MOSES. The following is from the
Washington National RepuJlican. OF
the 14tL:
"Moses, of South Carolina, ono of
the journals of that State tells us,
made speech, few days ago, in
which ho ab!y defended the Republic
can party. Now Moses had better let
up on that sort Of thing. The Repub
lican party needs no defence ut his
hands; he has brought discredit and
disgrace upon it, and the best thing he
can do is to leave it,"

OFFICE OF COMPTROLLER. GENERAL.
COLUMBIA, s. O.. Aug. Is. 1874.
ln the OniOn Herald, of date of Au-
gust 10Th, 1 ind in the editorial co.
lnmn Of said paper a statement that
Judge Hoge is Moses man." The
writer Of that article simply lied. 1
nm nobody's man, but claim the right
to think and act for myself, and, in
doing so, make no distinction between
men on account Of their birth place.
What desire is n good honest admi-
nissration, by the Republican party" /"
OF the State Government. I mm op-
posed to the election of nuy dish o. est
man to the position of Governor,
whether he is native Of South Caro-
lima, Massachusetts or Ohio. 1 am,
very respectfully, s. L. HOGE.
The following is the article referred
to:
"a writer, who hides his Demo
cratic identity under the signature of
Republican, in the Ne,cs and Cou.
'ier. asserts that all the carpet bag
gers ore banded in favor of Chamber
lain. and all the 'scallawags,' in like
manner, are united on Moses. This
is untrue. Most OF the best native
Republicans in the State are bitter op.
posers of Moses, and some of tho
members of the party, of Northern
birth, are bound to him by hooks of
steel-without u pun. Judge Hoge
has frequently been selected, by the
Democratic press. as q typical cnrpet-
bagger, and he is Moses man."
The Comptroller. General is ON
phatic. An honest government is what
all good citizens arc desirous of having.
