The Next Presidency.

There is atprcscnt much interchange OF
opinion among leading politicians, DO n
Democratic and Republican,, looking
to q combination or liberal men of all
parties, in q united opposition to Grant.
Some time ago the Missouri RcpujlicGn,
the organ of the Missouri Democrats,
recommended y passive policy-.of hold
ing no national convention and making
no nomination.. But the drift Of opin-
ion now seems to be in favor OF middle
coulse-to hold the convention, but te
accept the nomination Of the liberal Re
publicans. This is the view suggested
by the New York World in late artl-
Gle, and it is supposed to echo the sclli'
ments of leading Democrats. The Ger
mans hold the balance of political power
and it is proposed to unite these III
combined orpositionto Grant upon lhe
platform of revenue reform, civil service
reform, general amnesty to the South
and a restoration of the rights cf the
States-ignoriug all dead Issues. Sena
for SchurZ Of Missouri has of late bcCl
very active il the matter, and has beer
offering with leading statesmen of botl
parties. He is said to he the Warwick
of The crisis-the Prcsident-maker. The
difficulty is in cfIecting the combination
if overcome, success is as certain hex
year, as it was last year in Missouri.

pany is s2o,54D,ODO, Of which $500
600 is State registered stock. The
financial condition Of the State is
confessedIy bad. The treasury is
empty, and it is doubtful if funds can
be obtained to pay the January in
tcrest on the State debt. A full state
mcnt of the character of the debt,
and the use that has been mado OF
the bonds printed, has been prepared,

will show that tho management OF

est and high commission, for the pay

Governor Scott Charges the Treasurer
with a Fraudulent Issue of Bonds.
Telegram to the New York Tribune.
COLUMBIA, November 20.

COLUMBIA, November 20.
In an interview with the Tribune
correspondent yesterday, Governor
Scott stated that he had reason TO
fear that there has been q fraudulent
issue of. n considerable amount of
South Carolina bonds made by the
State treasurer, through the financial
agent in New York, This, he said,
may have been dono by rcseling
bonds that have been converted into
new conversion bonds, instead Of can
ceiling them: If any of the. seven
per cent. bonds issued in 1860 for the
relief Of the treasury are still in tho
market, he believes they are fraudu-
lent, as he has signed new bonds for
their conversion. Tho Same is true,
ne said, of 100000 Of land cotamis-
sion bonds, and Of 100000 of bonds
issued in October, 1868, to pay inter-
est on the public debt, which were
not properly printed, and should have
been replaced with now bonds signed
by him tor The purpose.
The State treasurer and the fnan-
cial agent, Mr.. Kimpton, who are
now here, say that tho Governor is
misinlormed, and that they arc able
to prove that there has been no such
fraudulent reissue as ho asserts.
Tho trcasurcrto day made state
mcnt of the whole amount Of the
debt of the State, which he offers to
verify by submitting his books to the
examination of any responsible per-
sons. This exposition shows that all
official statements heretofore made
have been intentionally erroneous,
and made with view to deceive the
public. The entire debt Of tho State,
not including liabilities on account Of
Endorsements Of railroad bonds, is
$l5,S05,9OS %, Of which sG,453,9OS.-.
SO is old debt, and S9,353,00O new
debt. Of this sum s3,G72,O00 are
new bonds, which have been hypoth-
ecated by Mr.. Kimpton to obtain q
temporary loan Of about 100000.
But, as there is no prospect that the
State will be able to redeem them,
they arc properly included in the
gross amount Of tho debt. Tie

man, Dr.. j. w. w. Marshall, has Just
returned from On extended tour in the
Great North West, with a store Of va

The Greenwood and Augusta Railroad

We have been requested to state that
meeting of the friends of the proposed
Greenwood and Augusta Railroad, will
take place at Chi'es' Cross Road on next
Friday the lst of December. All inter
ested in this enterprise which promises
SO much for the material development
of the lower section Of our district, are
requested to attend, and assist in its III
Eauguration and successful! prosecution.
In another column we publish we'll
considered article from the Augusta Con-
stitmionali;t with reference to the rival
projects which appeal to the aid Of that
city, For the Greenwood and Augusta
Roilroad many strong claims are urged
that il will pass through country, SO
well adapted to railroads as to necessi-
tate bat small cost comparatively, in
the way of construction-through a fer
tile belt unequaled in richness by any in
the State-again that the route steers
Gear ofcompetition, andbesides embraces
scope of country, from thirty to fifty
miles on each side, that is without rail
road facilities. The extension Of the
Road to Laurens and Spartanburg be-
sides would open up to Augusta, the
produce of the upper markets and place
her in connection with the Air Line
Road. The advantages Of this route
are we'll stated in the paper referred
to-, and an early meeting in Augusta
recommended to consider the claims
Of rival routes.
In the meantime we advise our friends
to attend the proposed meeting on Fri
day and second The efforts of the earnest
practical men who have the matter in
charge.
