Kimpton and tho State.

The report Of II. H Kimpton, Finau-
cial Agent of the State OF South Carolina, is
published with the report Of the Comptroller
General, an official copy Of which reached
US yesterday. A little time and attention
are necessary to lucid explanation Of what
is wellnigh unintelligible but the most sa-
lient points may be noticed at once.
During the nine months ending in October
last, Mr.. Kimpton paid over to the State in
cash S746,2l3 33, and paid coupons on
State bonds TO the amount of SlS6,7l4 so.
Besides these amounts Mr.. Kimpton
charges the State s64,s ,ss6 II as cash paid
Expenses for preparation OF State bonds, ex-
''press charges, stamps, interest,"" &c The
total amount charged the State is, there
fore, sl,Oo7, s24 81.
On the other side Of the account appears
S2S2, 500 paid by the State to Mr. Kimpten,
and $4,000 received by him as the pro-
ceeds OF the sale Of 100000 State bonds at
total charge against the
Financial Agent Of s4s2, 500, On the face

politician, and his antagonist broker and both
New Workers. The difficulty grew out Of their
mutual love for q woman who cared nothing
for either Of them. Every preparation was made
and the hostile parties arrived at their destination
at midnight At dawn of day they proceeded to
secluded spot on the outskirts OF the town
overlooking the Potomac, where everything was
speedily got ready, and the principals took their
positions at twenty PAGES from each other. The
word "fre" was given, both pistols were dis
charged at once, and varnum fell, wounded
land it is feared mortality in the femoral
artery. Colonel Mcnamara escaped unhurt
the ball having only grazed his shoulder
The surgeon in attendance examined Mr.. Var
NUNS wound and pronounced it mortal. Colo
mel Mcnamara and his friends hurried from the
ground and drove back to Washington in pri-
vate conveyance. Mr.. yarnum's condition was
such as to preclude the possibility OF his immedi-
ate departure. He was carried by his friends to
neighboring house in fainting condition. The
woman who is the cause Of the trouble has not
herself the slightest concern about the fate Of her
two lovers. When informed that they had gone
to fight duel, she remarked to friend with in
difference that "she did not care If they shot each
other dead.n The whole affair has been kept a
profound secret, owing to the possibility OF Mr..
Varnum's death.

According to the annual report issued by
Comptroller General Neagle last year, the
public debt on October l, 1868, was SIS, ,4O7,-
3O6 27, against debt OF sc, 9oS, 4S4 % at this
time, showing an increase in the total debt
amounting to 81, $751;, ,127 96. This increase
consists Of:
Funded bills OF Bank OF State. ,246, 400 90
Issue OF 1858. 3ooooo w
Past due interest funded. ........... Gi,727 90
Total. ,5Sl, l27 SO
or the circumstances attending the fund
ing Of the bills Of the Bank of the State in
State bonds, every one is cognizant. That
item of increase may be allowed to pass
The s3O0,OOO lis claimed to he payment
made in liquidation of that amount of float
ing debt created under authority given by
the State Legislature of 1865 The third
item of increase was for funding the over
due interest on the State debt.
This is very we'll as far as it goes. But
what has been the increase of the State debt
not included in the foregoing table? Sena-
tor Leslie said in the Senate, not long ago,
that SS,OO0,OOO of South Carolina bonds
were held as collaterals by persons in
New York, who had advanced money TO the
State, and Comptroller General Neagle says
that So, 700, 900 of State bonds 'have been
'signed up, and placed in the hands of the
financial agent and remain unsold. y
Where do these bonds appear in the state
ment of the total debt? We presume that
these bonds cannot BY any icgerdemain lie
set down as the "bonds for funding the bills
s'of the Bank OF the State" or IS "the issue
''of 1885," or as the ''fundoI past due in
s'terest." All that we know about them is
that they are in New York to the amount of
50, 700, 900 or So, OO0, 900, and under the con-
troll OF the fiancial agent Of the State

of the account the State owes Mr.. Kimpton
S515, ,424 81.
1t appears, however, that Mr.. Kimpton
did not actually advance half million dol
lars to the State for he acknowledges the
receipt of the following securities :

Of this amount 100000 are reported as
sold-so that Mr.. Kimpton has still in hand
about two and half million dollars as secu-
rity for the half million dollars which the
State appears to owe him. The Comptroller
General says the amount is 50, 700, 900, and
Senator Leslie says it is s3,OOO,e but
5000, 900 or s5OO,0OO is small matter be-
tween those financial leviathans, Kimpton
