Despite the expressions contained in the
letter Mr.. King Immediately appointed the
writer to an excellent place in the Post
Office Department. An official of the de-
partment read Mr.. Moses letter the other
day, and then, looking up the record in
the case. he found that Moses had been
appointed to- a good place at a liberal
salary.
Good Lordr he said. "How any one in
authority in those dark days preceding
the civil war could appoint man to a
federal Office after he had written a let
ter containing such rebel sentiments as
those expressed by Mr.. Perry Moses Of
Charleston, S. c., is more than can see.
Then. if at any time, the country needed
good and faithful servants, servants true
and loyal, who would stand by the rud-
derless ship of state so feelingly described
by the rebel applicant until it either ran
on the rocks or reached the haven Of
safety.
But I presume that the letter showed
all that was desired-that Moses was a
good composer, a gentleman Of feeling
and Imagination, and that was all that
