Bank Ofthe Stafa.

II was known from inc Governors 1ies-
sage that the operations of The Bank has
been very successful during the financial
year ending the Both OF September last,
though that document barely stated the
amount OF The profits without COMMENT
The Report Of the President and Directors
has since been received. and we should
lay IL entire before our readers If we were
not SO much pressed for room. The entire
profits for the year amount to the sum Of
1864 ,8Sl SO. But of this sum, about ss995,.
600 has been derived from arrears OF inter.
est, and wonld properly be added to tho
profits of pas; years. The sum Of $685.
s2o % IL strictly the income nj the year,
and # tho bank DO charged with the ageve-
gate OF It's capital. the Sinking FUND.- and
the. Sire Loan it is more than 7 per cent
interest in all these funds, doubtful and
supposed bad debts about Sl0U,000 more.
This is certsinly a favorable exhibit, and
especially a subject Of cungratusation at a
time when the State has need of an over
flowing treasury to meet exp >nses that it
concerns alike her honor and her safe
ty to incur. l nai
There are inconvenience, as we are re-
minded by the Report, in having an excel
lent credit. The position Of the Bank has
been such for some time past, that it has
been an object with the Board to invest
portions of it's means in the outstanding
debt Of the State, and from this time for
ward it would probably be in its power
rapidly to extinguish the whole ofthat debt.
Blu the creditors will not be paid. The
Bank has parleyed and proposed, and nego-
tiated, bur they are as obdurate as Shylock
and insist upon having their bond instead
OF the money for which it was given. Now
and then some poor wretr:' E-cts caught in
the trap OF mischance, a.. !, brought to
terms. tn, this is a rare event, and in gem
eral the slightest hint of a man being on
the lookout for South Carolina Bonds,
sends them all into holes and corners.--
There seems no remedy for the evil. tia
probable indeed that a default in the pay
mcnt of half years dividend, or q resolp5
hon IN the Legislature squirting at renat
alton might lead to transaction ;2Ssa
these are experiments that also havNsxsSS
Inconvenience. and il is perhaps II
well to shear the ills we have.r
In the meantime the profits of lhe s4
will accumulate, If not otherwise di
OF. The President proposes that a et
sum DO paid into the treasury annual
AID OF expenditures OF the State, and ~
the Bank should devote a part OF the fur
necessarily accumulated to NEE, the prinss
cs'pal OF the State debt, in such secure
loans, 10 Railroads and similar e%n,erprizea
as shall make il useful and at Tie same
tIIno be available when it shall DO needed,
The final settlement of This question of
surplus profits, is not liielv to be made
without 'ull consideration. Fosthe corning
year the State will almost certainly have
occasion for all the assistance tho Bank
can afford out OF It's profits. and the 'ac-
foundations" can DO disposed OF when
they occpr.-~Courier.

We give, on our first page, the inaugural ad.
dress Of His Excellency, Gov. MEAxs.
Our readers will remember, that he was the
author Of that eloquent and soul-siirring appeal,
made almost two years ago, by tho citizens Of
Fairfield, TO those Of her sister districts, which
exercised so potent un Influence in nrousing the
people Of South Carolina to u sense Of their
dangers, and to o determination to resist the en-.
cronchncnts upon their rights.
The address before us b~rcatl,es, throughout,
that same spirit Of devotion to the cause Of the
South, and OF indignation, in the contemplation
of her wrongs; and it is characterized BY the
same chnsteHess OF diction, beauty of style and
elevation Of sentiment, which no cmincntly dis.
tinguished the address of 49.
While we nrc free to confess, that NIL Of tho
gentlemen, whose names were used in copnc1i-
on with the Chief Magistracy, arp men of talents
md ability; we arc yet confident, that the Legis-
laturc of C.. could have made choice of no more
fit and proper person 10 fill that Office, than Cen
cral John III. Means, the heightened gentlemen,
the ripe scholar, the brave and chivalric SOL
der.
