The New York Times On Southern Gov.
ernors.
The following is an editorial from the
New York Times:
1T is only because the courage Of Gov
ernor Moses OOZsd out of him with mar
velous rapidity that the recent scenes in
Arkansas are not to be repeated in South
Carolina.
"Having been indicted for grand lar
ceny, Governor Moses called out his militia
| to protect him from arrest; but no sooner
| had his soldiers been posted about the State
House than he thought better of the mat
| ter and surrendered bimself to the sheriff.
| 1t will be seen that this was different af-
| fair from that in Arkansas, and it was in
| all respects more disgraceful.
Moses could not pretend that he was in
any way serving any. public interest. He
was simply defying the laws he had sworn
| to execute in order to protect his own person
| from arrest.
at is about time the Southern governors,
actual and imaginary, ceased to disgrace
the country in the manner they have been
doing of late"
