HOW SOUTH CAROLINA WAS
STOLEN.

Ex-Governor r. j. Moses, of South
Carolina, explains in letter under his
own signature in the New York Sun,
how South Carolina was counted for
Hayes at the last Presidential election.
As Governor Moses Is as straight a Re-
publican as the editors of the Virginia
Enterprise or the Gold Hill News, his
statement cannot be attributed to parti.
san bias. He says that in South Caro-
lima since 1868. the Board OF State Can
vassers had full and untrammelled
power over the returns of State aud
county elections. Under the law the
votes for Presidential Electors are for
warded by the county canvassers i'm.
mediately after they have counted
them. to the Secretary of State, in
whose Office they are to be kept, under
his own official responsibility, until the
day arrives for the Board of State Can
vassers to open and count the votes
During the time they remain 10 his
custody the law contem lates their be-
ing kept safe from the approach, touch
or Inspection of any one. At the close
of the last campaign the utmost public
excitement prevail. d with regard to the
safe keeping OF the votes, and the
Chairman of the Democratic Committee
made public proposition to the Secre-
tary of State to allow guard of an
equal number of men from each DO.

This proposal was politely refused, and
on the Sunday preceding the day on
which the returns Were to be turned

4. IL. Cardoza, State Treasurer; Henry
L. Hayns. Secretary of State; William
Stone. Attorney General; Thomas G.
Dunn. Comptroller-G General; Judge
Cartier of Washington and Judge Settle
of North Carolina, assembled ia the
Secretary OF States Office. barred the
doors against all corners. aud proceeded
to open the returns. and .Joaoad that
1ilden had carried the Site by over one
thousand majority or strictly legal Uotcs
The conspirators at once Determined
that sach result mast be reversed,
and to effect it the returns trom several
Republican counties weEe tampered
With, so AS to give Hayes aud Wheeler
II majority in the State. Proof of what
Is here alleged was offered to the Demo
cratic investigating committee ap
pointed by the Hampton Legislature,
but as 1t Was u. part OF the bargain be.
tween Hampton and Hayes frieuds that
the members of the board of canvt ssers
should not be prosecuted. the committee
refused to heaE the evidence. This
statement, it should be remsm bered, is
made by u man. VINO Was Governor OF
South Carolina, whose father was
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court Of
the State, and. whose Republication
has never been doubted.

IT. he sura hi. nrovision makes

To be sure this provision makes them
money for nearly all purposes in this
country. But does it make them real
money? Can they perform the functions
of money outside of the United States :?
How would these notes be received in
England, France or China They would
not buy dollars worth Of goods, unless
they were taken as pledges Of real money
promised. An American going to the
Paris Exposition could not pay his ex-
penses with these "queer" dollars, because
they would not be recognized and receiv-
ed abroad he would have to buy gold or
silver to pay his passage money with, be-
fore he stepped on board the steamship.
Without any basis of real money to rest
upon, the new paper currency would be-
come about like the money Of China. In
that country the inability to comprehend
the principles upon which a currency
should be based has led into all sorts of
extravaganceS, which have been attended
by disorder. famine and boOdshed. Coins
came at last to be made so thin that l.
0O0 Of them piled together were only three
inches high; then gold and silver were
abandoned, and copper, tin. shells, skins,
and paper, were given fixed value, and
used until, by abuse, all the advantages
to be derived from the use Of money were
lost, and there was nothing left for the
people to do but to 90 back to barter, and
this they did more than once, we are told
"They cannot be said now to have a coin
age" says Mr. f. r. Leland, $1,000 years
ago they made round coins with a square
hole in the middle, and they have made
no advance beyond that time. The we'll
known cash is a cast-brass coin Of that de-
scripiion, and, although it is valued at
about one mill and 4 half of our money,
aud has to be strung IN lots Of 1000 to be
computed with any ease, it /, the. sole
measure Of! value and and legal tender of
the country Spanish, Mexican, and our
new trade-dollars, are employed in China +;
they pass because they are necessary for
larger operations, and because faith in
their standard value has become establish
ed; but they are current simply as stamp
ed ingots, with their weight and finencss
indicated"
Shall We retrograde to the position of a
heather nation Shallwe make ourselves
the laughing stock OF nations? Why, in
the name OF all that is reasonable, cannot
cur people learn the simple facts regard.
Ing money! Coins command other CON-
modities by the amount Of pure metal in
them In the great marts of the world
the standard of value Is and must be, coin.
\ Bank Of England note is worth as much
a gold, because 1t will command gold at
any hour But United States greenback,
Inscribed The United States OF America
are indebted to the bearer in the sum Of
-dollars,' will not be worth the pa
per 1t Is printed upon IN the grand mark
ct Of nations. At home its value will be
fictitious, It's uses variable, aud It's en-
ployment disastrous In the whole cata-
logue Of financial evils which may assail
our nation, there Is none 50 much to be
dreaded as this greenback scheme.

From the Belfast Journal
The Green0ack Pdrfy: What It Is.

Ii is quite time that the new "Nati on
al" party-or TO name it more clear the
Greenback Labor organizatiOn-should
receive the recognition due to belligerents.
However sophistical the reasoning OF that
party, however distasteful to careful stu
dents of history and the past, however
sinister in its threatenings, however igno-
bic in its origin it may be, yet 1t Is foe
whose blows have been lately felt In mu-
nicipal elections, and whose assault next
autumn may be looked for with dread and
with some apprehension lest fallacious
doctrines shall prevail. This party can
no longer be considered side-Show about
the political circus 1t can put IN Its claim
for recognition as one of the principal at
fractions of the season. Just now there
is DO clearly defined policy on the part of
the Democrats or Republicans in regard
to the gaunt figure that looms up so threat
eningly in the political horizon There Is
a vague dread of the coming giant, but
there is a feeling, or a faith, that the mon
ster cannot elect a state ticket nor any
thing near it Perhaps it cannot; but 1t
NAV elect members Of the legislature
against the old parties, and it may be able
10 decide who shall 20 to Congress in ma

should begin to plan for an aggressive
campaign against the new foe. The hour
