THE NORTHERN PACIFIC EXTEN.
SION.

We arc constantly endeAvoring to keep
the readers of the COURIER as well inform
cd as possible in regard to the progress of
the Northern Pacific extension. This
week. we reproduce an article from the
Bismarck Tribune. which shows conclu-
sively that the company are fully in earnest
IN their intention to push the road through
to the Yellowstone the present year. The
work is actually being done. apparently,
as rapidly as men and means can accom-
plish it. the doubts and predictions If SO
many to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
The grading parties are pushing the work
so vigorously that the civil engineers have
to bestir themselves in order to keep out
OF their way.
There can now be no good reason or OBJ
ject for the company to halt anywhere
short of the Yellowstone river. Short of
that objective point, the extension would
he unremuneraiive and comparatively
worthless. 1t would really be useless
expenditure Of large amount of money
without adequate returns. Farther than
this the financial condition of the companv
appears now to be such that they can COM
u,and any reasonable amount of funds that
may be necessary, by the sale OF bonds.
The new $2.OOO,OOO loan proved to be
very popular one, One-lialf of it was taken
by the stockholders at par, and the remain
der Of the loan vas thrown open to the
public, when the subscriptions exceeded the
amount of the loan to such an extent that
the matter, according to the New York
papers, has not been entirely adjusted. |
The proceeds Of these bonds are TO be used
in completing, during the present season. |

When the road shall be completed tosthe
Yellowstone, as there is every reason for
believing it will be during the present year.
then, as we have before intilnated, it will
virtually build itself to the business CEN
tres of Montana. From the moment it
strikes the Yellowstone valley it will not
only get reasonable share of the carrying
trade and passenger travel of the Territory
generally, but it will be the means OF Civ
ing a wonderful impetus to the settlement
and development of the rich and fertile
valley it enters. that will give it no incon-
siderable amount of local business. From
that on. every mile Of road built westward
will add, in an almost incalculable degree.
to its business. until the western boundary
of the Territory is reached. 1t is reported
that the Utah and Northern is progressing
rapidly towards Camas creek and Pleasant
valley, but, in our opinion, it will have to
be pushed quite vigorously or the North
ern Pacific will be the first TO blow its
whistle on Montana soil.

the asking. They could be used In payment
OF the contingent expenses of the Legisla-
ture according to the law, and under this
provision, they were paid out to all sorts of
persons and for all sorts OF purposes. They
were issued to buy horses and mules for col
ored men who had served the speaker. to
stock the farms of men living in remote
parts of the State. who not only had no con-
nectiOn with the Legislature but who had
never seen the State House. At this time
THE CAPITAL WAS LITERALLY FLOODED WITH
MONEY,
the streets were filled with blooded horses
and glittering equipages; the white followers
jewels, gaming halls abounded, the finest
viands were served at numerous restaurants
champagne, or what was called champagne,
could be had for the asking, and on every
hand were to be met gorgeously attired
women of the town. Indeed, it Is a matter
of record that agents were sent from Column
bia to New York and New Orleans to
secure beautiful bad women for the brothels
OF South Carolina's capital. Franklin J.
Moses, Jr., was royal host. 1t is estimated
that of these warrants, from ST., 500 600 to
50. OO0 GOO were issued by Moses, the greater
part of this amount being squandered upon
profigate and worthless favorites. He would
adjourn the Legislature to take drink or
visit brothel. The treasurer at last
declared that he had no money to meet the
the speakers warrants, and they deprecated
and became about worthless. He took ad-
vantage of the danger and became generous
while his popularity lasted. This was in
1872. From the time of his election and
during his whole term of Office his every
official act was for sale. Every ordinary act
of legislation had to be paid for. 1t is on
record, testified to by the president of the
South Carolina Bank and Trust Company,
that g valid claim of 500 600 held by that
institution AGAINST the State could not be
collected until $25 900 of the amount
had been handed over to Governor Moses.
He purchased the Preston Mansion
(all things considered, the most palatial
dwelling in the South) and In order to carry
out this project he increased his tariff of
charges. 1t is estimated that the house, with
the Improvements he made about it, cost
him between 800, 900 and $50, 900. The ex-
tensive grounds belonging to it he had laid
out in gardens in the style of Louis XIV,
and he furnished the house palatially with
the government income. He would leave
his beautiful wife and elegant home and revel
all night in filth and lechery at the lowest
quadroon bagnio in the city. During his adj
ministration law was a mockery. The courts
had no power which law breakers feared

STATE APPORTIONMENT.
Representative English's Bills for Re
districting the State.


We publish below the apportionment bills
introduced into the House yesterday by Mr..
English, the representative from Marion and
Shelby. These bills have been prepared
with the greatest care after consultation with
prominent gentlemen from all parts of the
State, and are entitled to receive, and no
doubt will receive, careful and favorable
consideration.
The first bill, dividing the State into sena-
torial and representative districts, and giving
each district two representatives to each SEN
ator, is new feature OF districting in this
State, but is one possessing many advantages,
as has been found in other States where the
system prevails. The voting population in
this State, as shown by the Official enumera-
ton recently taken, is 451 OPS, consequently
the average number of voting population re-
qusite for State senator would be 1920. for
State representative 4,510, and representa-
tive IN Congress 81, 694. In the following
tables the figures on the left express the
number of voting population upon which
each district is based, and the figures on the
right the political majorities according to
the vote at the late election for secretary of
state.
Mr.. English's first bill gives one senator
and two representatives to each of the dis
riots, Marion County being made double
district, with a float, to which her population
entities her.
The following are this districts:

or this number the governor pardoned %
by telegraph the day after their convicuon.
The pardons were all granted Immediately,
and for money varying from $50 to 81 900
per head. He appointed anegro boy treas
urer of Orapgeburg county, and got him to
turn over to him all the money he collected.
The boy, of course, was prosecuted, and in
trying to save himself from exposure in
court, Moses was indicted through the efforts
of District Attorney Buttz. His arrest was
ordered, but when the sheriff arrived at the
home of Moses he found it surrounded by
the State militia, which the governor had
called out to protect himself. The sheriff
retreated, and the judge had finally to quash
the Indictment The newspapers about this
time began to "go back" on Moses, because
he could not get money enough TO keep them
still. The Charleston News and Courier was
one Of these papers. according to Mr.. Carroll.
Even the negroes, at last, began to believe
that he was q very bad man.
SO MOSES MADE UP A LECTURE ON RELIGION
from lot of sermons, and, after advertising
1t widely, began to deliver it for effect. The
plagiarism was detected. Prominent Repub-
licans began to work against him. At this
time, too, he had squandered all his money;
the State treasury wss empty; no new
scheme of legislative joobery could be de-
vised; even his ingenuity could discover no
way of raising the wind" he could not
meet the demands of his supporters. They
were fair weather friends, and they deserted
him in his need. The negroes, and all upon
whom he had squsndered money, became
"reformers," and clamored for his disgrace.
His term expired. He was not renomi-
mated. Within q month his property was
seized for debt, and he walked the streets of
Charleston a beggar, without dollar and un-
able to secure employment. He came near
securing petty judgeship, but Chamberlain
refused 20 sign his commission Then he
disappeared for two years. In 1876 he reap
peared, and earned some precarious bread
and butter by writing puffs for a Republican
campaign document. He mixed with the
adventures who engineered the Tilden in
terests in the State, and, finding no money
in the business, began to live upon his fam
lily. Under the pretense of getting money
enough to start for Texas and begin new
life there, he robbed bis wife and his mother
of their jewels and fled to New York. The
Democrats prosecuted him with the other
fraudulent officials, and former friend of
his, a sheriff, started for New York after
him, but he was never arrested. At last &C
counts he was living. or rather starving, on
his wife in New York. Such, in brief. has
been the truly remarkable career Of Frank
lin ]. Moses, at once the best hearted and
worst of men. A man endowed with extra
ordinary talents, who abused rare opportu-
nities-a man OF culture aud refinement, who
still gave free rein to the basest passions; q
man who ruled others, but could not govern
himself-a man who spent half Q million
upon worthless hatterers-a man who once
controlled untold wealth, and who is o-day
