Chief Justice f. j. Moses has
been elected to tho professorship of
law i'll the South Carolina Univorsi
ty-made vacant by the recent death
OF G. D. Melton. The Moses family
have shown a decided 2,e,,chante for
holding public Office. Tho delecta-
bic 7. j. Jr. at one, and tho same
time was adjntant general, momber
OF tho Legislature and speaker of tho
house--all of which no turned to his
own advantage. Montgomery Mosoe,
tho brother of the chief justice, is
now judge Of the seventh circuit, and
an aspirant for reelection. And
with due regard for the eotorna
fitness Of things, the oldest Moses
OF all has a well paying sinecuro in
addition to his judgesllip-tho two
positions yielding him, exclusive Of
fccs, the neat little sum Of s6,OU0

The Taxpayers c'ony.n;Ion.

Whatever doubt may be enter
tanned rs to tho feasibility of n
gathering of tho taxpayers Of South
Carolina Mt this time, there can cor
talnly bo,n fear that it will result
III harm Z in any direction. There
arc doubtless somo who arc inclined
to bclittlc tho Importance and the
influence Of such II convention. II
was long time before tho voice of
nc honest taxpayors of our State,
finding speech in the addresses and
memorials of the convention wos
heard by the American people. For
tins reason there were many good
and true men in South Carolina
who, whilst they admitted the NO.
ccss'ty Of united action in some
form' entertained doubt as to tho
good TO be accomplished by tax
payers convention. This feeling wa.
much too general in 1878, when the
convention was called for tho ,p,u.
pose Of momorializing congress or
the subject Of our grievances. Bnt
however much that assemblaee OF
the best md truest men of orr Stat,
may have failed of it's chief end
direct interposition by congress-
yet no ono will deity that its mora,
effect upon all classos of people n,
the North and upon the radical
party in South Carolina was bv ~,

tho convention is recognized as q
body representing tho wealth and
Intelligence of the State, and ias such

Newspapormon, as cve rybody
knows, are fond Of coming words.
Sometimes they succeed admirably,
but often their coinnges have SO
much alloy as not to pass current
very easily. "Reportorial" is agood
looking and pleasant sounding
word it reminds one of senatorial
and gubernatorial and dictatoriul.
But unfortunately thoro is before
tho final an which cannot be
changed into q without giving the
now word decidedly counterfeit
air. If Proportional" is good, then
"mini"torial" is equally so and if
wo may speak Of tho "roportorial
desk, as wo do of tho "edito-
rial chair" thon VIC may with equal
proprioty do 30 Of the "printorial
case" and "spinstorial gossip.
These would scarcely pass muster,
yot they nro quite M correct az the
now much-used and seominglymuch
admired Proportional.

The reporter Of tho Aems and
Courier has incurred the direful
wrath of the radicals in the legisla-
ture, by writing a truthful and
scathins letter on tho subject of
the appropriation bill. The letter
appeared in print headed mine
Radical Rsscals," tho reference
being to the radical members of
the house committee of ways and
mcana, and showed up very plainly
the Infamous doings of that com.
mittee. This was too much for
radical virtue to stand, and, after q
usolcssly long and acrimonious de-
bate, Mr.. j. r. Blackman, the. re-
porter, was expelled from tho priv
lcsos Of the house. The reporters
OF tho Charleston papers have more
than oncc incurred the wrath of our
sensitive ~ Legislators. In 1869,
Mr.. Jro. 7. Sloan, of tho Couriey
was expelled for telling the truth
about corrupt scheme of Whippor
In 1872, Mr., Thomlinson, of the
-Nc~s, wrote Il truthful account of
the folly and rnscality of Ben
Byas, member from Orangeburg,
in the matter of SCOTS
impeachment, and MAs attacked by
that outraged innocent with COW
hide; but calmly drawing arevolver,
he caused Byas to boat hasty re.
treat, followed ny bali which gave
Che member from Orangeburg a
wound in tho back. Mr.. McCaw, of
the Ne'cs and Couier, got
into trouble because of some.
thing he had sail which did not
please the fancy Of Senator Dunn ;
but aftor correction of Dunn's fool
ish mistake, the affair was smoothly
AMI honorably settled Mr.. Black
man il tho lntcHt victim, and if a
man is to be punished for writino
bold, spicy and truthful letters about
the Legislature, he deserves the terri
bic penalty he has incurred. We
arc pleased to observe that the
paper he us so ably served full,
sustains him in the course he has pur
sued.

The Legislature will, during it's

justice of the supreme court, and
eight circuit Judges. From present
indications it is safe to conclude
that the election will bo a strict par
