DEAR SIR: I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt Of your let
ter Of this date, propounding certain
questions in reference to the condi-
ton of the judicial circuits Of the
State and certain military organiza-
lions. After month absence from
home l returned about week ago,
and since that time I have been ex-
clusively occupied with official affairs,
holding the regular term Of the cir
cult courts fol this county, As to
the alleged lawlessness and violence
in other portions Of the State, know
nothing. have seen statements in
the newspapers giving different and
entirely contradictory accounts OF
the Transactions referred to in the
proclamation Of Governor Chamber
lain but have not examined the tcs-
...a.c y-or heen-i.seithe. ot the local..
ties. Since my return home l have
been treated by my acquaintance Of
both political parties with the usual
kindness and respect, and have seen
no exhibition of violence and law
lessae>s. No resistance to judicial
process or authority has been attempt
ell in the circuit. to my knowledge,
since | have had the honor to be its
presiding Judge. am not acquaint-
ed with any other than the Richland
Rifle and the Richland Volunteer
Rifle clubs. I do not know of my
own knowledge, nor has any com
plaint been made to me, of any acts
of violence, open or secret, having
been committed by these companies.
My acquaintance with the members
of those organizations is quite general
and, from my Knowledge Of the per
sonal character of the gentlemen COM
posing them, I should think no dan
ger to the peace and good order Of
society could be nationally appfe
hended from that source. Withdrawn
from partisan politics as citizen I
feel deep interest in the welfare of
the State, and l hope those Of both
parties having charge of the canvass
will exercise such prudence, justice
and fairness. as will insure free,
fair, and full expression Of the popu-
lar will.
l have the honor tobe, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

SUMTER, S. c., October 7, 1876.
My DEAR SIR am just in re-
ceipt of your note and at once reply
to the same. For the last three or
four months / have not been in any
of the counties but those of Sumter
and Richland. Within thatlperiod |
have been present at only, two politi
cal meetings-one hell by the Re-
publican party and the other to-day
at this place by the Democrats. AL
though 1 was at the latter but a short
time, I was for the greater part Of
the day in the streets, with every
opportunity Of observing the behavior
and demeanor of the large concourse
which the occasion had brought to-
gether. The collection consisted of
citizens on foot and horseback. l saw
in no instance any exhibition of arms
or any behavior inconsistent with the
strictest propriety. At the Repub
lican meeting to which l have above
referred, there was no attempt at in
terruption.
shall require very strong evidence
tossatisfy me that South Carolina is
an armed camp. I know of nothing
which would lead me so to conclude.
For myself I do not know of any
thing which would make me doubtful
in any part of the State of enjoying
the same security which I feel at
taches to me under my own roof.
I trust the day is far distant when
violations of the peace in our own
borders will require the interference
of any arm more potent than that Of
the law.
Very respectfully yours,
f. J. Moses.

the rotunda. aud in an excited and
determined manner broke through
the line of policemen. which kept the
crowd back from the procession and
made a desperate effort to reach the
eastern door of the Capitol. He was
discovered by a member of the Cap
itol police who seized the excited
stranger and after a severe struggle
succeeded in forcing him back into
the crowd. Booth had already been
noticed by at least two persons who
knew him, passing rapidly from the
direction Of the Senate chamber to-
ward the rQtunda, and some idea of
his determination to reach the inau-
gural platform may beformedf from the
fact that he broke away from the
man who first seized him and but for
the closing of the door would proba-
bly, have accomplished his purpose,
whatever it was. Those who stopped
Booth on that day and who in all
probability preserved the Presidents
life, were not aware who the excited
stranger was, but the importance of
their action can hardly be over-esti-
mated. The man who stopped Booth
was named Westfall. He was made
