Moses and Whlpper.

The election Of Moses apd Whip
per to the bench, by the majority in
the Legislature, is tho crowning out,
rage of rod>hot Radicalism in this
State. Thoeproporty, life and liberty
of tho citizens of tho First and Third
Circuits, would have been committed
to the hands of corrupt and vicious
Judges, had it not been for the timely
and bold interposition of Governor
Chamberlain. Moses, by his infamous
career as Speaker of tho House of
Representatives and as Governor of
tho State, made himself obnoxious to
every decent man in the Union, and
his namo become synonymous with
fraud and corruption. He had been
rcpudiat cd by the Republicans outside
of tho State, as we'll as by the decent
portion of them in this State. Whip
per Is colorod man ofno legal ability,
and is said to be q gambler and oquai>
ly as corrupt as Moses. Wiggins, we
know nothing about, but the fact of
his being tho candidate of Leslie is
sufficient, to place him along with the
other two. The reform of Governor
Chamberlain was solid and sincere.
This the corruptlonist could not stand,
and in order to defeat him, and turn
the government back in tho old grooves
Of corruption, and to their personal
aggrandizomont, they determined on a
bold plan. BY the election of this
trio, they hoped to fasten the coast
Circuits of the State to that wing of
tho party, and by fraud and intimida~
ton regain control of the government.
In this it is to bo hoped they have
signally failed. Their action has
brought down upon them tho con
demnation of the whole country, and
has aroused and determined the hon.
est men of the State to defeat them at
the polls next November. In this do>
termination, we havo the God.speed Of
the whole country.
The Republican press of the North
is calling upon the National Republi-
can party to unload South Carolina.
They can not afford to carry the State
any longer, and they long to SEQ her
government turned over to tho keep
ing of the Democratic party. This
is the effect of their election, and in
place of its being levor of power to
them, it will be tho means of their
overthrow We do not bclovo they
will or should be, allowed to tako
their seats on the bench

shuddering which some people seem to
experience at the prospect of impeachlng
and removing the State officials who
have been guilty of high crimes and mis-
demeanors. 1t is not so in other States.
Yesterdays kilograms inform us that the
Senate of West Virginia, by vote of 70
to 8, have found the Treasurer of that
State guilty of articles of impeachment
which were brought against him. And
that on Monday next, the State Auditor
is to be put on trial. And yet there is
no report of any extraordinary hysterical
demonstrations over the events; and the
physical world still moves on all the
same. And so it will move on even il
Ames, Davis, Dozy and the rest are tried,
convicted and deprived of the allowances
appertaining to the luxurious places IN
which they have revelled for several years
past.
