According to the annual report issued by
ComptrollerG General Neagle last year, th
public debt on October l, 1863, was S5, ,4O7,-
306 27, against debt of Sc, 0ss, ,434 23 Mt this
time, showing an increase in the total debt
amounting to 1871 l27 96. This increase
consists Of:
Funded bills OF Bank OF Siatc.... 81, ,2IG 400 90
Issue or 1888. 800, 900 90
Past due interest funded. d............. S4,727 90
IoLai.. ,1Sl, III Do
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 5000 is claimed TO be payment
made in liquidation Of that amount of noat-
ing debt created under authority given by
the State Legislature of 1865. The third
item Of increase wasfor 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 table9 Sena-
tor Leslie said in the Senate. not long ago
that S3,000,0O0 OF South Carolina bonds
were held rs collatcrals by persons In
New York, who had advanced money to the
State, and Comptroller General Neagle says
that So, 700,0 900 of State bonds "have been
"signed up, and placed in the hands OF the
Financial agent and remain unsold."
Where do these bonds appear in the state
ment OF the total debt? We presume that
these bonds cannot by any legerdemain be
set down rs the "bonds for funding the bills
''of the Bank OF the State" or as .rhe issue
"of 1885," or ns the funded past due in
'tercst." All that VIC know about them Is
that they are in New York to the amount of
200, 900 Or $4,000, 900, and under the con-
troll of the iiancial agent of the State.
