THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING JANUARY 15, 1879-

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 15. STATE APPORTIONMENT.

Representative English's Bills for Eedistrictisg the State. Haw it is Proposed to Divide l"P tlie CoBffresaloBal, Senatorial and Representative Districts. 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 aU 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 senatorial and representative districts, and giving each district two representatives to each senator, is a 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 enumeration recently taken, is 451,025, consequently the average number of voting population reqasdte for a State senator would be 9,020, for a State representative 4,510, and representative in Congress 34,694. 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 disricts, Marion County being made a doable district, with a float, to which her population entitles her.

The average voting population to the district, if the whole poDulation could be exactly divided into fifty districts, would be, as before stated, 9,020; but as counties can not be divided, an exactly equal apportionment is not possible. It will be found, however, on examining these fifty districts . 1. That ten of them have exactly the population required, viz.: 9,020, of which seven districts are Republican and three Democratic. 2. Of the nineteen districts having a population under the exact average number required, ten are Republican and nine Democratic. ; 3. Of the twenty -one districts baving a population over the exact average number, two are Republican and nineteen Democratic , 4. The average voting population of the Democratic .districts is 9,168, whereas the average voting population of the Republican districts is only 8,692, making a difference per district on an average of about 47S in favor of the Republicans, so Uat as far as representation in 'proportion to population is concerned, this proposed apportionment would not only be liberal to the Republi cans, but most favorable to them. ' , 5. The districts are so formed as not to throw any two senators holding over into the same district, thus leaving exactly onehalf of the senators to be elected at the next election, as provided in the constitution. If the next election should go as the last, and all the senators be elected at that time, the result under the first bill would be in the senate, thirty -one Democrats and nineteen Republicans, and in the House sixtytwo Democrats and thirty-eight Republicans. Under the second bill the Senate would of course stand the same, and the House 60 Democrats and 39 Republicans. We have not time to-day to make an analysis ot the second bill as to the House, but we are told it is entirely fair to the Republicans in the matter of population. Of course it would not be possible to make an apportionment of all the counties, they being of unequal population, and many of them of uneven shapes, so as to be exactly symetrical or equal in population, but certainly these districts are great improvements in both respects over the present apportionment. In the haste of preparing this article our figures may not be entirely correct, but they are believed to be substantially so. There are always so many conflicting inter ests and views in relation to legislative apportionments that they are exceedingly difficult to adjust so as to meet with general acquiescence, and no dcubt many other plans are prepared or will be prepared, or amendments offered to these bills, and to facilitate the matter we publish elsewhere a table giving the official voting population by counties, so that every member who wishes will have the material to figure out a district to suit his own views.

Dr. Lfander Brnnton writes as follows in the Contemporary Keview: There are two nerves, known as the fifth pair, which are distributed to the skin of the bead, and to the mucous membrane of the eyes, nose and mouth. These nerves are closely connected with the heart ana vessels, and by stimulating their branches the circulation may be greatly influenced, as in the case of fainting. It is a curious fact that people of all nations are accustomed, when in any difficulty, to stimulate one or anotber branch of the firth nerve, and quicken their mental processes. Thus, come persons, when puzzled, scratch their bead?: others rub their foreheads, and others stroke or pull their beards, thus stim ulating the occipital, frontal or mental branches of these nerves. Many Germans, wben thinking, have a habit of striking their fingers against their noses, and thus stimulating the nasal cutaneous branches; while in this country come people stimulate the branches distribu ted to the raucous membranes of the nose by taking snuff. The late Lord Derby, when translating Homer, was accustomed to eat brandied cherries. One man will eat figs while composing a leading article; another will suck chocolate cremes; others will smoke cigarettes; and others sip brandy and water. sy these means they stimulate the - lingual and buccal branches ot the fifth nerves, and thus renexiy excite their brainr. Alcohol appears to excite the circulation through the brain renexiy from the tnontb. and to stimulate the heart reilexly from the stomach, even before it is absorbed into the blood, ebortly after it has been swallowed, however, it is absorbed from the stomach. and passes with the blood to the heart, to the brain, and to the other parts of the nervous system, upon which it then begins to act directly. Under its influence the heart beats more quickly. the blood circulates more freely, and thus the functional power of the various organB in the body is increased so that the brain may think more rapidly, the muscles act more powerfully and the stomach digest more easily. Bat, with this exception, the effect of alcohol upon the nervous system may be described asone of progressive paralysis. The higher centers suffer first, and the judgment is probably the first quality to be impaired. One ot the most esteemed novelists of the present day informs me that al though be can take a great deal ot wine without its baving any apparent effect on him, yet a single glass of sherry is enough to take the fine (de off of his intellect. He is able to write easily and fluently in the evening, after taking dinner and drinking wine; butwbathe then writes will not bear his own criticism next morning, although curiously enough, it may seem to him excellent at the time of writing. As the effect of alcohol progresses, judgment becomes still further impaired, although the other faculties of the mind may remain, not only undiminished by the direct action of the alcohol upon the brain, but greatly increased by the general excitement of the circulation. The imagination may thus be more vivid than usual, and the emo tions more lively, and both, being more or less liberated from the control of the judgment, manifests themselves in sparkling wit or withering invective. Sheridan is said to have delivered bis greatest speech nnder the influend of two bottles of champagne, which he had swallowed at a single draught; and persons of over cautious temperament and two reserved manners, the removal of the exctfstve restraint nnder which they habitually act renders them, for the time, more sociable and agreeable. By and by, bowever, the other parts of the nervous system are successively weakened, the tongue stam mers, the vision becomes double, the legs fail and the man falls insensible. It is evi dent, then, that only the first stages of alco holic action are at all benenciai, the later stages being as clearly injurious. Am Interesting- Circular. The annual circular from the director of the United States mint has been issued. from which it is shown that the gold dollar of the Brush possesions of rorth America, of Liberia and of the Sandwich Islands is of the same value as that issued by the United States. The circular also shows that the ail ver dollar of Mexico is worth 101 X cents in United States money; that of Peru, Ecaudor and Central America, 93 K cents, and that of Bolivia, 96 cents. It is also shown by the circular that the bullion value of the silver dollar of the United States is 10 cents less than of the silver dollar ot the 8outh American countries. The circular is said to be one of the most instructive ever issued from the department. . Fraltlem Overtarea. The Spanish Government is making overtmres to Great Britain for the recession of Gibraltar. Since 1704 the Great Rock has been kept by England. After holding it against the combined attack of France ana Spain in the latter part c the last century, i she is not likely to aell it new at any price. It guards the highway to India, which is so important that . England would have fought Baasia to prevent that power from coming too ooar to the Suet Canal. While England bolda Gibraltar no combination ot European powers can sbat her navy oat of the Medierjasa or Sues Canal.

A MARYELOUS CABEER.

The Life of Frank J. Moses, of South Caroliaa. 4BwTraor, Bakber, Milllamatre, Bear matt Fagitlva. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, Mr. Howard Carroll, presents la that paper a seven-column history of the principal incidents in the life of the notorious Frank 3. Moses, ex-governor of South Carolina. It is well known that this man's career has been one of the most remarkable that this wayward republic has eyer developed; but Mr. Carroll's etory brings to light numerous inside facts regarding him that will be read with interest and astonishment, even by those most familiar with the life of this, until recently, singularly lucky soldier of fortune. Born in Sumter, S. C, the son of a Jewish "planter-lawyer," he is, at present, at the age of 38 years, accredited with having been successively a rebel, a Radical, a robber, a governor, a millionaire, and a beggar. Through the influence of his father, who was an ante-bellum-day powerful feature in South Carolina politics, be became at 22 Governor Pickens' private secretary. Slight and graceful in figure, with a clean-cut face of great beauty, eyes at times dark, soft, and mournful, at others quick, flashing, and full of passion, accomplished in little things, ready with bis tongue, an adept in the art of pleasing, he was the hero, almost the idol, of the belles in all the country surrounding Sumter. A good shot, full of energy, a reckless rider, always lavish with his money, warm joearted and impulsive, he became the leader, the favorite also, of all the young men. With the governor, too, he readily grew in favor, and in time it was known by those behind the scenes that he WA8 ALL-POWERFUL IN THI EXECUTIVE CHAMBEE. Then the war broke out, and gallant Major Anderson departed from Fort Sumter, leaving the stars and stripes floating from its staff. The story is that brilliant Frank Moses, accompanied by a number of choice spirits, crossed from Charleston, and, by the permission of the governor, the young gentleman, who subsequently occupied his patron's shoes as a "peace and reconstruction'' governor, with his own hands helped to pull down bis country's flag, and thus enact the first scene in the bloody war of the rebellion. The article makes him out to have been a rebel to the core, and in conversation and claims a very fiery one indeed. He was intensely popular, and might have commanded a brigade in the rebel army; but Frank did not love the smell of powder or the taste of bullets, and so he lost caste by accepting the comfortable position of conscript officer. When the war closed, when the rebellion had been crushed out, and the rebels, starving and in rags, returned to their desolate homes, Frank Moses, like the rest, found himself a beggar and without sympathy or friends. He at once set about making himself agreeable to the Union officers stationed in and about Sumter. He succeeded so well that the whole Moses family was soou living, if not sumptuously, at least comfortably, on government rations. Indeed, there is to this day current in South Carolina a wellauthenticated story to the effect that he not only supplied his household with provisions from the federal commissary, but that he drew much more than he wanted for his own use, and sold many a government ra tion to the families of rebels who were too brand to draw them in the rezular wav. Soon he obtained the position of assistant provost judge, and employed bis father in all cases that came before him. He made op his mind to base his fortune on the votes of negroes, and, in his position as assistant provost judge, he lost no opportunity of flattering and befriending them, bo he gained great popularity and influence among the freednien, and when the time came they were only too ready to follow his leadership. He got the negroes to elect him delegate to the constitutional convention of 18G7, the year of the enfranchise ment of the blacks, and was elected on Scott's ticket as adjutant and inspector general. Not long after he secured his election to the Legislature. From this point his advance was so rapid that there is ereat diffi culty in keeping pace with it. He aspired to be the presiding officer of the House, and in spite of the bitter, though at first secret, opposition on the part of rival leaders, who bad in the meantime appeared in the party, he was elected. For the first term of two years be continued to hold the double office of inspector general and speaker. Daring this time he was SrEXDIKO FIVE TIMES HIS IKCOMB, After his re election as speaker he began, in earnest a career of corruption, "fee taking," bribery and robbery, which, for extent and audacity, is without a parallel in the history ol any JUogllsn speaking people, as he be came more secure be became bolder, until, to borrow an expression of "Bob" Toombs, a recital of his crimes against taxpayers and the State would "fatigue the indignation." He had absolutely no shame; there seemed to be no limit to bis capacity for squander ing, throwing away money. He was reckless, barefaced to a degree which almost excited the admiration of the people he robbed. And, in spite of his terrible record, be was every day making new friends. Try as they would, the leaders of his party could not resist his many powers of fascination. He poured out his money like water, gave, pocketfuls to all who asked, was the life of every com pay, and, though he drank little or nothing, "the jollieatdog" among "jolly dogs," the leader in every debauch. So, in spite of his immense income, he was nearly always id need of funds, but it was then the creed of his life that what he wanted he would have, and to have he was obliged to steal. If a bill was to be passed, Mr. Speaker Moses boldly and nnblushingty asked for $1,000 to pass it. On one occasion a deputation of citizens waited on him to get a bill regulating tne puonc saie oi oonas passed. It was a much needed measure, bnt Moses asked for $10,000 worth ot the bonds to compensate him for "pawing" it. In loite of the ocean of indignation poured upon him, he insisted on and obtained the reward. His theory, openly expressed, was that it a bill deserves to become a law it was worth paying for, and that if it was not worth paying for it was not worth passing. So it became gen erally understood that people interested In legislation, before they could hope to succeed. would be obliged to step op to the speaker'! o trice and settle. He secured the Daesase of a law which gave him power to issue what are called pay certificates or speaker's warrants in other words, drafts upon the treasury which were made by him at will, almost without Question or supervision, and which the treasurer of the State was obliged to pay, even to the exclusion of other claims. So, at last. Mr. Moses was in possession of what he bad long desired. He was the director ot a money mill, and could apend at his pleasare. He was one oi the original in nation lata. He thought at first that the speaker's seal and signature upon a piece of paper ccnJd make a promise-to-pay legal tender; and as ions as there was money in the treas ury to meet the demand so made the pay certificates were, inaeeo, as rood as cm tea 8tatee notes. The speaker's clerks were kept busy stampingjSeaitng ana presenting them for simatnre. There was now no limit to his generosity. His warrant! moid, be bad b

the asking. ' They could be used ia payment of "the contingent expenses" ot the Legislature according to the law, and. under this provision, they were paid oat to all sorts of persons and for all sorts ot purposes. They were issued to buy horses and mules for colored men who had served the speaker, to stock the farms of men living in remote parts of the State, who not only had no connection with the Legislature, but who had never seen the State House. At this time tHH CAPITAL WAS LITERALLY FLOODZD WITH - MONEY, . the streets were 'filled with blooded horses and glittering equi pages: the' white followers of the speaker decked themselves with 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 u a matter of record that agents were sent from Columbia to New York and New Orleans to secure beautiful bad women for the brothels of South Carolina's capital. Franklin J. Moses, Jr., was a royal host. It is estimated that of these warrants, from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 were issued by Moses, the greater part of this amount being squandered upon profligate and worthless favorites. He would adjourn the Legislature to take a drink or visit a brotheL The treasurer at last declared that he had no money to laeet the the speaker's warrants, and they depreciated and became about worthless. He took advantage 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. It is on record, testified to by the president of the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company, that a valid claim of $100,000 held by that institution apaicst the State could not be collected until $25,000 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 be increased his tariff of charges. It is estimated that the house, with the improvements be made about it, cost him between $100,000 and $150,000. The extensive 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 wonld leave bis beautiful wife and elegant home and revel all night in filth and lechery at the lowest quadroon bagnio in the city. During his ad ministration law was a mockery. The courts had no power which law breakers feared. Criminals knew that by political influence or by money they could buy pardon from Moses, and they robbed and murdered at will. He pardoned men by letter; pardoned them by his own special verbal orders to iail keepers; pardoned them by telegraph, some times as many as so a day; pardoned men who had been COSVICTED .OF THE MOST ATKOCIOI'S CRIMES. In the Charleston circuit alone, in less than one year, the convictions and pardons granted by Governor Moses compared as follows: Convictions. Pardons. Murder. Manslaughter .. 8 S 43 Hignway robbery... Hornlary l-erj ury. 1 . 48 -. 4 ... 1 U 1 30 ..71 Asaault wUh Intent to kill. Riot Arson ... Forgery nape Assault and bttery Urnnd larceny Total .227 Of this number the sovernor pardoned 23 by telegraph the day after their conviction. The pardons were all granted immediately. and lor money varying from $50 to $1,000 per head. He appointed a negro boy treas urer o( Orangeburg 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 wben 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 Moees, because he could not get money enough to keep them still. The Charleston News and Conner was one of these papers, according to Mr. Carroll. rjven tne negroes, at last, began to believe that he was a very bad man. SO MOSES MADE CP A LECTURE OX RELIGION from a lot of sermons, and, after advertising it widely, began to deliver it for effect. The plagiarism was detected. Prominent Republicans began to work against him. At this time, too, he had squandered all his money; the State treasury wa empty; no new scheme of legislative jobbery 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 squandered money, became "reformers," and clamored for his disgrace. His term expired. He was not renominated. Within a month his property was ojsed tor debt, and he walked the streets of Charleston a beggar, without a dollar and unable to secure employment. He came near securing a petty judgeship, but Chamberlain refused to sign bis commission. Then he disappeared for two years. In 1878 he reappeared, and earned some precarious bread and butter by writing puffs for a Republican campaign document. He mixed with the adyentarers who engineered the Tilden interests in the Stale, and, finding no money in the business, began to live upon his family. . Under the pretense of getting money enough to start for Texts and begin a new life there, be robbed bis wife and his mother ot their jewels and fled to New York. The Democrats prosecuted him with the other fraudulent officials, aud a former friend of his, a sheriff, started for New York after him, but he was never arrested. At last accounts he was living, or rather starving, on his wife in fiew York. Such, in brief, has been the truly remarkable career of Franklin J. Moses, at once the best hearted and worst of men. A man endowed with extraordinary talents, who abused rare opportunities a man of culture and refinement,who still gave free rein to the basest passions; a man who ruled others, but could not govern himself a man who spent half a million upon worthless flatterers a man who once controlled untold wealth, and who is to-day a beggar. - It babies could talk, they would often express their thanks to their nurses, for relieving them of pain and suffering, by the use ot Dr. Ball's Baby Syrup.
