COLUMBIA, Aug 24.-Thc Republicans deny
the recent telegraphic report, that the Legisla-
ture proposes to repudiatc any class of bonds or
seize the assets of the State Bank pledged to
pay them. Only the profits of the Bank are
pledged to pay bonds and the Bank has no profits.
The bonds are secure with or without this law
The law, if possible, strengthens them. The ex-
PLANTATION of the matter is that the Legislature
of 1865 appropriated assets Of the Bank to for
eign bond holders, deprving the bill-holders of
their prior claims. The present bill reverses
that action, and protects the bilhoders, as cred
itors Of the State.
August 26.-The Legislature elected eight
Circuit Judges to-day, Of whom Ex- Gov Orr is
one.
COLUMBIA, Aug 27.-The Attorney Cen
erals opinion on the Bill closing the operations
of the Bank of the State, declares the State la
BILE for all obligations of the Bank, and says that
the Legislature can dispose of the assets as it
sees fit.
CHARLESTON: Aug. 24.-Hon. Jas B. Camp

dition of the city, and the inability of the city
authorities to preserve peace if riots should oc-
cur; and announcing the determination of the
white people to be moderate and avoid as far as
possible. difficulty, and asking the President to
provide for the protection of the city
Rs Mr. A. B. Andrews of Raleigh n. c..
addressed the citizens eff Columbia On Thursday
