A FINANCIAL OPERATOR.
NEW YORK, Nov 5.-Ihe World states, as an
alleged fact that the American bank note com
pany have printed bonds for the state of South
Carolina, amounting TO $50 046 900, which pass
ed into the hands of Mr.. KemptOn, state fnan.
cial agent; that ali the members of the state
government are here, and other gentlemen of
wealth to whom the credit Of the state is vital
questiOnIarc here, watching their proceedings.
1t is said that Governor Scott admits that the
bonds were printed, but denies that all were is
sued, though he does not state the real amount
of the issue. No part of the money yet raised
has, it is alleged, been used to take up the other
state bonds.
Kcmpton it is asserted, brings claims against
the state for services and commissions, to the
of four millions, and the other officers
have not dared to resist payment thereof,
though much Of it was proved to be for renewals
eff credit, which were made time aud again, and
which are charged for as new loans. The com
missions are said to have swallowed up more
money than the original loans. 1t is asserted
positively, however, that Kempton's operations
have been carried on, not in the capacity of the
financial agent of the state, but on his own per-
sonal account, thus involving his own personal
creditors. If this is true, the entire amount can
be repudated without discredit to the state
Again, il is charged that all the money the
state has ever received from Kempton for lands
is about tWenty-Seven per cent of the gross
amount; the remainder was retained as commits
siOns. The expenses of the last legislature
some SS00,000, are not yet paid. The World
concludes by stating that its information is from
a source emitting it to the highest credit. The
persons giving it express the confident belief
that fraudulent issue, amounting to $40 046-
900, in state bonds, has been negotiated and the
money msapplied, and they were convinced that
if it should prove that the state is involved TO
that amount, it is irreyocably insolVent.
Later.-Ihc following card will be published
in the morning:
To the Public: Many false representations
and statements have been made and published
against the credit Of South Carolina. 1t is true
that S20,040,0OO in bonds were printed, of which
So 600 900 were never signed or issued: nor were
they printed with the intention of an increase in
the state debt but are in possession of the state
authorities; also S3,500,0 900 in sterling bonds,
printed but not issued, and 81, 500 900 registered
sock are now in the hands of the treasurer be-
ing the balance of S20,040,000 issued. 6 The
legislature, from time to time, passed several
acts for the issue of bonds, "to pay the indebt-
edness of the state" subsequently it passed an
act for the conversion of its securities. TO pro-
vide for this, the above amount in bonds was
printed, which has given rise to many ground
less misrepresentation ana gross 1aDrcatl0nS.

THE MAIN QUESTION.
The territorial act against adultery was APP
proved March 6, 1852 The revelation of
poygamy is said 10 have been made Aug. 30,
1852. This overthrows completely the charge
that the United States court here was wrong in
allowing a verdict under that act against polyg-
amists, on the ground that the act being passed
by polygamists' Legislature, the intent is not
to punish polygamists,
