TnE SoUTu CAROLINA GolD Bull
The New York World, Of Friday. IN its
financial column, says:
The first practical official step towards
the resumption Of specie payments has
been taken by the State Of Soath Caro~
lima, in passing law to pay the interest
on all bonds Of that State in gold. Mas.
| scchnselts and California are the only
two States IN the Union that can claim
the proud honor of having paid ali their
Liabilities IN gold or real money since
1862. rs tho letter and spirit of their
contracts demanded. The State o! Now
York made a faint sham towards pay.
ING tho State interest in gold shortly
alter the passage of the Legal. tender
Act, but nothing as yet has ever been
done in that direction. Governor Sey-
mour advocated The payment of ts!o
New York State debt interest in gold,
and used all his power and influence to
BRING about that result, but his efforts
were unavailing, owing to the majority
and opposition Of 'hc Republican party.
This important movement on The part Of
South Carolina is likely to be followed
by Louisiana and other Southern
States.
