His argument rests, then, not upon the
s'fguresn he asks us to examine" but upon
the honesty of the Financial agent;7 and not
alone upon the financial agents honesty, but
upon the responsibility of the money lenders
who hold the bonds as collateral security"
Our object, Mr; Editor. has been not to dis.
cuss the policy of the Scott administration; not
to argue whether it was eXpedient or inexpe-
dent to fund the bills of the Bank of the State,
and the bills receivable of the State; nor
whether it was the part Of wisdom to pay the
'accrued interest on the State debt" by selling
s65O,O0O of bonds, and to "relieVe the treas
sury" by borrowing money on collateral. !.
these questions. Mr.. Chamberlain undertook
to prove" and he asserts that he has proved,
that mot one dollar has been added to the
State debt since the Inauguration Of the ad-
ministration Of Governor Scott" except the
s700 900 Issued for the purposes of the land
commission" We undertook to show that he
has not proved such to be the case.
He has not proved that the sl.250, 600 of bills
of the Bank OF the State Of South Carolina, re-
bonds, have been destroyed, and that they do
not form part OF the bills of that bank now
afoat. And unless he makes proof of this, he
has failed to prove that the State debt has not
been added to by such an Issue.
He has not proved That the $3.50. .0]0 Of bonds
6Diu w IuC oCCfucu lutC!tot Oil biAC OIobC
debt did not add to that debt. The amount
oil accrued interest actually due represented
the State debt, on that account, and this
amount was less than $3.50, ,000-the difference
between $3.50, 900 and the amount Of this inter-
est, is the measure of the increase OF the pub
lie funded debt.
He has not proved that the s37O, 900 of bonds,
sold to retire the bills receivable Of the State,
did not add to the State debt. The difference
between 1870, 900 and the ''entire circulation
of the bills receivable" is the measure of the
increase of the public funded debt.
He has not proved that the sl,000,000 OF
bonds issued for the relief Of the treasury do
not constitute 'publc debt" he has failed
to show us the ''sum borrowed" upon said
bonds as collateral security" and he has
failed to prove that these colaterals can be re-
deemed when the debts they secure shall have
been paid. Falling in this. he has failed to
prove that 'not dollar of these bonds is a
public debt" ..l-
We therefore submit, Mr.. Editor, that we
have ''made good" our promise. to expose the
fallacy OF Mr.. Chamberlain's argument, which
he has put forth with 30 much seeming conf
dence and uttered with such affected candor.

We have just been blessed with sn old

the intense heat of the last few days.
Mr.. Wallace, internal revenue collector an d
member of the City Council, has opposed the
contract of the City Council with Sorague, but
had to leave the city on business. Before
going, he pledged the majority OF the City
Council to oppose the adoption of the contract,
but during his absence some most potent
levers we're applied, and the contract was
adopted. Mr.. Wieg not only voted for it, but
was most efficient in engineering it through.
There was meeting OF the colorad cisizsns

bitterest terms the action of the City Council
in this matter. Their eyes are being opened
to the frauds practiced on them.
meeting was called last night for the pur-

Just as take up my pen to write you, the
drum, IA very poor one.) beats the departure
for home of the freedmen OF our county. after
day OF attempted display oa the part OF the
Radical party.
Last night the champicrs OF the Scott Ring

thingtou, who, as am lnformsd by one Of his
party, comes from Charleston, formerly from
Ohio or Maryland, and was among Sherman's
raiders our little yilllge. This
morning, about half-past 10 O'clock, Rainey
mounted the hustiugs to address about four
hundred co.ored men, women and children.
He began at the beginning OF the Radical gov
ernment of South Carolina, went over their
legislative acts. &C., und made them out
perfect, lauded Governor Scott aud the admin
Istratlon to the skies, and Iound up with an
indirect euiogy upon himself. Ransier sue
ceeded him, and went over the same hea.en
track He was so slow in getting to his points
that we could not keep the thread OF his would
be arguments The freedmen soon became
tired, and began to stalk nbout and gather In
squads and talk.
The noble (?) worthipgton followed next.
he was quite vociferous-tried to defend Scott
against General Buffers charges-related sew

sat down.
One John P. Green, colored law student,
living at this place, next arose Ito say some
thing for Bon. Mr. Maxwell, who had to be
carried to his house on account OF fever" he,
as usual, endeavored to be witty, but his wit
was like some mems philosophy-so deep that
the point could not be seer.
One Jones, a candidate from this county to
the last Legislature, closed the scene with
drunken harapgue about 8 O'Clock.
Upon the whole, their speeches were very
poor. Ralney related an auecdote which l
saw sometime ago in The CHARLESTON NEWS.

all right for Reforra here. Many of our colored

speakers were very moderate except Worthing-

GERMANY AND THE VAR.
The Principles Represented by France
and Prussia.

The convention of the German Patriotic Aid
Societies of the Union, held few days ago In
Chicago, has published long address to the
people Of the United States. The address Is
severe upon the Napoleonic dynasty, stylinsits
system an immeasurable lie, and asserting that
military glory is the only. basis upon which. it
can rest. The Napoleonic idea was to crush
Germany that France might dictate laws to
Europe.
France, however, the address asserts, is torn
within itself; 1t Is the Emperor who goes to
battle, and his canse is accursed, for he wages
o most groundless and aggressive war simply
and solely for the purpose Of patching up his
crumbling throne for his son with the blood OF
the German nation.
Upon the German side alone battles peo-
plea people united and 6etermined-and its
cause is just, for it defends It's honor and its
soil. In this war the King of Prussia is mere
ly the leader, the unanimously recognized
leader Of the nation. Ever since Napoleon's s
declaration Of war. united Germany sprung
into life, recognizing but one party in this
cause, 1.-The German party" Whatever rech-
onlngs individuals or parties may have scored
up as between themselves or against their
rulers, the settlement has been pOstpuied un-
til the grand purpose is accomplished to pre-
vent the grasping hands of the Emperor OF
France from SELLING the relnS Of Europe.
The question of the Spanish crown was only
an empty preteXt for the war. The real cause
lies in the results OF the battle OF Sadowa.
France was no longc: the first power in Eu-
rope, and Napoleon feared tie increasing power
of Prussia. Germany battles for the Identical
principles which form the basis Of American
institutions. Not one circumstance exists on
account OF which America should now desert
these principles, while the most weighty rea-
sons bespeak her unstinted and energetic SYM
pathy, so far as the same can be extended
without infringement Of the neutrality laws.
The agricultural and commercial interests OF
the United States demand O. speedy and COM
plete success OF the German arms Germany
has sent us. until now, about 100000 emigrants
per year. This emigration. which was prnci-
pally instrumental in transforming the Wilds
OF the West into blooming landscape. ceases
entirely during the war. What an immense
capital in labor and money is withheld from
the United States simply because Napoleon
saw fit TO interrupt the natural progress of
events. And only if Germany is victorious.
will this capital again direct its steady liow to
this Republic. Ifshe is conquered and beaten
in this struggle, then for many, many years,
but meagre stream Of German money and OF
German labor will tend toward these shores.
The above is the substance of the address.

DISPOSITION OF THE GERMAN ARMIES.
BERLIN, August 20.
The disposition of the different German ar
mics is as follows: There are ls corps d'armee,
containing 40, 900 men each. The first army,
under SteInmelz, has the Lat, 7th and Sth corps,
at Metz. The second, under Prince Frederick
Charles, has the I'd, Sd, 9th and 10th, at Metz.
The third army. under the Prussian Crown
Prince, has the 5th, 9Th and 18th corps, and
two BavarIan corps, marching on Paris. The
fourth army, under the Crown Prince Of SaXo-
ny, has the lth and 18th corps and the Saxon
and Prussian Guards. The fifth army. under
den divisions, and Is engaged in the siege Of
Strasbourg. The sixth army. under the Grand
Duke of Mecklenburg. Is on the Rhine, and
the seventh army. under Generals Won Con-
steen and Loewenfeld, Is at Berlin. Three of
these armies ere In reserve.
PRUssIAs DEMANDS.
A Tribune special at Frankfort, on Thurs
day, writes: "Intellgence confirms The state
ment in the semi-of1icial journal that Bismarck
will insist on the restitution by France Of all
territory forcibly abstracted from Germany,
but that neither Alsace nor Lorraine will be
annexed to Prussia. The larger part will 60
to Baden and the rest to Bavaria. Russia is
already protesting, and England also"
FOOD.
The Minister OF War announces that he can
arm an immense force of the National Guard
in addition to those already under arms, with
guns now in reserve at the depot. The Minis
ter OF Agriculture and Commerce Is wonder
fully active. IL Is estimated that the bakers
have fifteen days subsistence; besides this, the
Minister has collected at Paris $50, 900 quintals
OF flour, 10000 quintals of rice, an immense
amount of potatoes and fresh vegetables of all
sorts. There have also been collected 100000
beevcs, 10000 sheep, and NIL the grain and
forage necessary for their temporary keeping.
Salts, spices, coffee and sugar, and other
articles Of that nature, are stored In sufficient
quantities for the subsistence OF Paris during
three months making more than GO, 600, 900 OF
ralions. At the entrepots are stored great
quantities of salt pork and salted fish, TO-
Tether with straw, oats and hay Tor the neces-
s,lry subsistence OF horses, as well those Of
the army as Of private parties. The munitions
OF war are also plenty.
TIE ENGLISH oHAssEPoT SPECULATION.
Count Palkao's statement that he had bought
40 900 rifles in England is but small part OF
the truth. Several hundred thousand chas-
sepots are manufactured in London fr the
French Government. There is much anxiety
lest Germany should resent this, since thu
British Government has the power or prevent
ing such expectations. Tho Daily News in
sists that it shall exercise this power, and de-
po1uc 9 the men who imperil the country for
private greed. II compares this TO the Ala
bama case, and says no one will balieVo we are
doing the almost to preserve our neutrality II
We allow this trade.
