at that time were valued at only FORTY
| cents on the dollar. In the State. the
demand for them was slight, and here
thsy actually went begging on the street.
The reason for this was chat the capi
talists OF the city had little faith in the
people Of the State, feared Reputation
and consequently avoided them. The
agent, however, was we'll known in
moneyed circles, which proved to be
| OF great advantage to him. He himself
had unlimited confidence in the honor
of South Carolina, its officers and Le-
gislatnre. He represented to bankers
and capitalists that their discredit of the
securities of that State was unfounded.
and that he himself proposed to invest
in the bonds, which he did to q very
considerable amount. Having conf
dence in his judgment, his friends fol-
lowed his example; capitalists and others
bought up the bonds, and, in the course
OF six months, there were hardly any in
the market for sale. Indeed it was dif1i-
cult to till any large orders for these
bonds
The agent thus in a very short time
was able to negotiate loans with these
bond. and commenced sending money to
the Treasurer of South Carolina, to his
and the Governments unbounded salts
faction. Bnt few months passed be-
fore the Treasurer called in ali the "bills
receivable, F" both of the first and second
issues. returning "greenbacks" in their
place, and also paid off the floating debt.
The people of the State, finding TINT
good money was becoming more plenty,
and that the new Government was sue
ceedlng well, ceased their objections to
fha etha l,onI,
to invest in them, preferring them to
United States Government bonds; and
the so-called spurious bills were readily
circulated before they were taken in.
By tho excellent, and, it may be said.
remarkable management of this financial
agent, the South Carolina bonds and Sc
curities are fast approaching par value.
He has also paid the interests on the
bonds promptly, has met every State
obligation satisfactorily, and financially
prospercd South Carolina. The effect
upon the State has been highly crafty
ing, and already the new Government
is ceasing to be an object of abuse.
Furthermore, South Carolina has
steered clear of the whirlpool which has
wellnigh swamped one or two of the
other Southern States. She has steadily
refused to aid railroads North Carolina
and Tennessee have increased their debts
immensely by their railroad subsidies
and loans, and have materially injured
their financial prospects.
Then, South Carolina is beginning to
pay taxes. The levy is 81, 200, 900, and
the people are meeting it. Their crop
of cotton last year sold for $50, 900, 600,
and the forthcoming crop is larger, and
thus far free from the caterpillar. Last
ly, political agitations are quieting, and
confidence is growing in the permanence
of tho present order of things. On the
whole, and when compared with other
States, South Carolina is recovering
from the effects of the war with cheer
ing steadiness and certainty, and it is
gratifying to find that New York city
and her capitalists are assisting so mate
rally in the work of re-uniting the coun-
try.-Nev York, Times.

REMARKABLE INCIDENT.-The Indian
apolis Sentinel, of Saturday, says that on
that morning blind horse wandered
into tho river near the National Road
Bridge, and getting beyond his depth,
swan around in a circle in his efforts to
find his way ont. His distress attracted
the attention of horse near Ivy on the
bank, who instantly went to his assist
ance. He first went to the waters edge
and attempted to direct the blind horse
by neighing, but finding this proceeding
Intellectual, he boldly took to the water
and swan out to his relief. After swim
ming around with him for nearly quar-
ter of an hour, he finally got the blind
horse to understand his good intentions,
and In what direction the land lay, and
the two horses came to shore side by
side, amid the cheers of upward of 100
persons. who were interested spectators
of the scene.

Gov. BUnLooK' g TEA PARTY. The Bos-
ton tea party was nothing compared with
Bullock's ten party last night, which
came OF, as announced in our columns.
General good feeling prevailed, and one
OF the Governors aids got into state of
hilarity. The individual styling him
SELF Governor made a speech, written by
his amanuscsis for the occasion. Gen.
Terry made few brief remarks. Chief
Justice Brown and Judge NTcCay made
characteristic remarks. Judge Lockrane
left terra .frma, and scared amid the stars
and milky way, "Wearing of the Green"
and holding aloft the American grid-iron.
Hon. G. N. Lester dwelt appropriately
on the development of our resources by
inviting immigration. Judge Schley
counseled improvement in agriculture as
the basis OF all wealth and material pros
perity.
Judge Jared I. Whitaker, proprietor
of the InteQigencer, made an impressive
speech, and Judge Gibson extended the
right hand of fellowship and welcomed
him in the party, in o happy effort.
Judge Knight and others indulged in
felicitous remarks.

OUTRAGEOUS IF TRUE.-Our Panama
correspondent, in speaking of the fact
that Captain Creighton, formerly of the
bark Three Bells, who rescued so many
persons from the wreck of the steamship
San Francisco. had at last received the
gold medal voted by Congress, goes on
to say that of the fund subscribed for his
benefit by our people, amounting to some
$50, ,OOG, he had not received one cent,
the same having been appropriated by
the owners of the vessel, they claiming
that the money was for their benefit, not
his. Ii this statement is correct, and
we see no reason to doubt it, it would be
well, even at this late hour, to try and
recover from those who have wrongfully
appropriated this fund. and have it re-
stored to him for whom it was intended.
This certainly was sharp practice and if
the little confidence game can be frus-
trated. so much the better for nil con-
cerned.-Re,c York Herald

State authorities were greatly embarrass-

the important question. It was finally

About year and half ago, in the

cons. derable experience in financial mat
ters in New York, went to South Caro-
lima with no special purpose other than
to note matters and prospects there. It
