THE MOSES IMPEACHMENT.

A special telegram from our Columbia
correspondent gives the information that
Montgomery Moses, Judge of the Seventh
Circuit, who was impeached for high
crimes and misdemeanors in Office, was
convicted on Tuesday last OH five counts
of the articles of impeachment. There
was large majority of Senators in
favor of his conviction, and his removal
from Office follows Immediately. There
will be no excitement over the matter, as
the testimony fully established his guilt,
and every one anticipated the result.
South Carolina has been terribly afflicted
with the Moses dynasty since reconstruc-
ton, and it is pity that more removals
from place and power cannot be effected.
The Ex-Governor is much worse man
in every way than his uncle Montgomery,
and yet there are Senators voting to dis
place the latter who helped the former to
obtain Office only three months ago.

corruptions of various degrees of crimi-
naGty. The investigating and prosecu-
ting process must be stopped, or it is
likely that many of the present leaders
of the dominant party will be assigned
apartments in some penitentiary instead
of their positions at the National Capital.
The prosecution Of Belknap is only typi-
cal of what they fear is awaiting others
of them, and they are bound to save him
harmless or be in danger of his peaching
upon associates in corruption. The re-
mark attributed to Secretary of the Inte-
rior, Zach. Chandler, that "it is about as
pleasant to be in HI in the summer time
without fan as to be Republican Cab
met minister with Democratic investi-
eating committee looking into the affairs
of your Office" is made to assume the
appearance of truth to some of the mis-
creants in Washington now. Belknap is
fallen, Sehenck is back from England in
disgrace, Robertson is trembling in the
balances with every prospect that he will
be found wanting, and Pierrepont is ex-
posed in his efforts as Attorney General
to allow the guilty to escape, while Grant
himself is shown to be the blind dupe or
the giant head of the corrupt ring of
Republican officials. Exposure after
exposure has been made and prosecution
after prosecution may be looked for.
This is bad year for thieves in the
National Offices. They already begin to
fear that there is to be something fright
fully practical to them in the centennial
celebrations which are going on. One
hundred years ago it was customary to
send thieves to the penitentiary, and this
seems to be one of the National customs
of 1776 which it is the determination of
the American people to revive this year.

In notice of the address of General
D. Fl. Hill before the Mecklenburg.
IN. O. Historical Society, the Balti-
more Sun attributes to him the follow
ing curious statements about the number
of Southern soldiers in the Union army
during the war of the rebellion: q" Even
in the late civil war the President of the
United States was Southern born man,
and the first Commander.in. Chief, whose
plan for the subsequent conduct of the
war probably that which wassfnally
successfully acted on, was Virginian.
Next to Grant and Sherman, whose lead
ing military conceptions were perhaps
derived from General Scott, the most
successful Uuion Generals were Southern
men, viz: Thomas. Candy, Blair, Sykes,
Ord, Getty, Anderson, Alexander, Nell
son, etc. General Hill declares that the
stubborn resistance of General Thomas
at Chickamauga and the refusal of An
drew johnson to give up Nashville, as
Buell. directed, dug the grave of the Con-
federacy. Farragut, OF Tennessee, rose
to the highest rank in the navy The
naval forces at Hatteras were under the
command of Goldsborough, of Maryland.
General Hill is of the opinion that the
South furnished as many troops to the
Union army as did the populous North.
At any rate, there we're no b-tter troops
in the Union service. Missouri gave
1903, 773 soldiers to the United States,
Kentucky, $4,000; and Maryland, 49, 1870.
Other Southern States contributed in
greater or less degrees. In all. there
were 400, 900 native born Southerners in
the Union service. This does not in
clude the $50, 900 negro troops.
