COULDN'T MAKE A RAIsE.-The Elko In

COULDN'T MAKE A RAIsE-The Elko In
dependent relates the following:
Secretary Seward, who passed through on
the cars few days ago. was very plainly at
tired. During his brief stay in Elko, he was
pointed out to a teamster whose experience on
several occasions with the " tiger had taught
him the necessity and importance Of having
good suit of clothes to fall back on, for the
purpose Of getting "stake" when fellow
had met with reverses in " bucking and was
"dead broke" He gazed upon the statesman
amoment and exclaimed: That's Seward,
Ell! Well, he may be great man, but darn
me, if he was to get busted he couldn't
make much of raise on his Clothes"

The Cat In the Meal Tub.

According to the report OF the Comptroller
General, copy OF which we received last
evening the State OF South Carolina has,
during the past year, been o good customer
to the usurers of Wall Street. What pre-
else price has been paid for the money which
has been borrowed, cannot be known just
yet by the Anti-Radical public, as the report
of H. 81. Kimpton, referred to by the Comp
troller-G General, does not accompany the
printed report OF the last named official.
There is, however, gleam OF light.
The report of the Treasurer shows that
the State has received from H. H. Kimpton,
during the financial year, S1,442,7l4, and
has paid that promising fnancler sS4S,S4S,
leaving balance in his favor OF S593, 1866.
This large amount was not it is presumed,
advanced by H. H. Kimpton without securl-
ty, whatever his love for what Governor Scott
calls s'our beloved State" What amount OF
State bonds has been sold we do not know,
but the Comptroler-Gen says there are
s'two million seven hundred thousand dollars
"S2, 700, ,0O0) OF bonds, signed up and placed
Gin the hands of the Financial Agent, and re-
''nsaining xnsold" The Comptroller also
says that a sale OF "three hundred thousand
'sdollars of bonds" made by the Financial
Agent will not appear in the reports Of the
Comptrollers office, no report OF the sale
being received until after the close OF the
fiscal year.
During the fiscal year the Financial Agent
borrowed for the State, or realized by the
sale of State bonds, nearly one and half
million dollars OF which about nine A"''-
dred thousand dollars was paid back The
money was doubtless obtained with much
difficulty, and the rate of interest was in
proportion. Mr.. Neagle, the Comptroller
General, says that unsold bonds amounting
to t,uo million seren hundred thousand dol
lars are still in tho hands OF the Financial
Agent They arc not sold; but arc they
pledged as colaterals? Mr.. Land Commits
sion Leslie answered this question in the
Senate on Saturday, where he urged the
immediate passage of the Insurance Com
panies bill, on the ground that about @res
million dollars Of State bonds were held IS
colaterals in New York at Slrty ,c'e cents on
the dollar. II the Wall sire men took
South Carolina Radical bonds as c,llaterals
at sixty-fve, they have less sense than they are
usually given credit for; but the plain fact is
in any case before Us that three million dol
lars of State bonds are pledged in New York,
and will be sacrificed, unless Scott, Kimp-
ton & Co. can, by some ingenious tricllins,
run up their market price. What the Ring
are driving at now, is to create demand
for State securities by compelling insurance
companies to deposit State bonds or stocks
as pledges OF good faith and solvenc.r.

In that curious compound OF malice and

Misrepresentation, called for convenience
'the Governors message" it is recommcn-
ded chat 80 law be passed. requiring each
company efecting insurance in this State
''tc deposit sufficient security with
'the Comptroller-General, indemnifyins

this deposit ''be graduated in proportion to
"tae capital and business Of the company,
'making it q mislcmeanor, with adequate
punishment, OF every agent attempting to
'efect insurance until the company he rep
PRESENTS has made deposit OF ample securi-
"ties to protect poltc,rholders against fraud
"or attempted Frauds" The object OF the
bill now before the Legislature is, therefore,
the protection of policy-holdcrs against
fraud and their indemniacatioa against
losses, which protection and indcnnifcation
are to be obtained by regulation that each
life insurance company, or agent, doing
business in the State shall deposit with the
Comptroller General $50, 900 in State stocks
or bonds, and each fire insurance company,
or agent, shall deposit in like manner
$40, 900. For the present we confnc our
remarks to FIRE insurance, and the first queS-
tion which suggests itself is: How will this
deposit give to the pOl;cy-holderS the secu-
rity and Naturalization which Governor
Scott, the General Assembly, and THE
CHARLESTON NEWS believe to be exceedingly
desirablei
There are at this time about forty-fvo in
surance companies represented by agents i'll
Charleston; among them are the most respon-
sible Northern and British companies, but
there is not one home company now in opo-
ration. Tho risks of the different compa-
nies vary in amount, bnS tho aggregate IS in
the neighbOrhocd OF &c, 00). $50 or 5l2, 2,00C,-
co. This i; the amount for which the COM
panes are liable. The amount OF deposit
to be made by the forty companies-assurl-
ing that eli OF them would make the de-
posit-wor.d be $500, 000 in State bonds Or
stocks at par, worth in the market now about
$40, 900. This certainly is far from ''sulli-
'cient security" TO protect policies to the
amount OF ten or twelve million dollars.
AS means OF securing and indemnifying
the insured against loss and fraud the new
law would be of little value, even supposinS
that the companies were all OF them ready
and willing TO make the required deposit.
Many OF the fire companies represented in
Charleston do very small business. They
cannot afford to allow $4,000 to lie idle,
and will rather withdraw their agencies than
do what the law requires. This would tend
to leave the risks to be monopolzed by the
lar .er companies, and in itself might not
b, disadvantageous. But it is doubtful
whether the giart companies will consent to
make the deposit. When similar law went
into operation in Virginia some OF the most
important and trustworthy Northern COM
panics at once Closed their agencies. The
same eject has been produced IL Canada by
restrictive legislation. And, Ii VIC arc cor

lyn are said to favor the consolidation. The reia-
tions Of the two cities are so intimate aud
the distance between them SO small that
it is argued that one city government
will do for them both. Many Of the busl-
ness men Of New York reside in Brooklyn !;
thus the social and commercial relations OF the
two cities are to all intents and purposes identi'
cal. Whether ,ne citizens Of Brooklyn will be
willing TO sink their individuality as BrooGlynites
and venture to sea as New Workers must be de-
cided soon. The idea OF consolidation has been
firmly driven through their heads and clnched
on the other side by the New York press. The
bitteress opponents OF the change Will De the
Brooklyn city officials. who will lose suhdry ia'
Offices and not get others equally good IN the new
consolidated city government OF New York.
