The Result OF the Frauds on the Bond
holders and Taxpayers--Rumers OF
Further and More Alarming Discover
ies--Governor Scott's Opinion OF His
Colleagues.
The New York World of Friday has the fol-
lowing article on the South Carolina bond
swiadle:
amongst holders of South Carolina bonds by
the statements of frauds that have been pub
lshed in this paper, has not abated one whit,
and the anxiety felt by people, not in New
York, but In various parts of the South, con-
tines to manifest itself in the way of requests
for Information Of various kinds. Thus one
gentleman writes: "Why don't they (Scott,
investigation into Kimpton's books promised
to the reporter CT the World ?" And why
don't they expose any errors. If such existed,
In the table compiled by the World from their
own printed statement, and which pointed 80
conclusively to fraudulent Issues OF bonds ,"
Why they should remain silent with means OF
vindicaiing themselves In their possession, Is
best known to them. Certainly 1t would seem,
as one interrogation remarks, "a very simple
matter to refute with Official figures the con-
illusions of that convincing table II they had
been arrived at by a Misrepresentation OF the
Certainly the construction that is put upon
their reticence is anything but favorable 10
the financial soundness of the State of South
Carolina or the integrity OF Its officers. So
strong has the feeling of distrust become that
almost marked effect ls noticeable, not only In
the marketable value of the bonds, but In the
difficulty experienced in disposing OF them at
all. 1t Is now said that the presence OF the
State officers among US Is due to want of
money 70 meet some maturing obligations
which 1t would have been fatal to them to
to have allowed to remain unpaid. They
{ feared the very disclosures that have been
Amade. The Investigation Of Kimpton's books,
1t Ia further said, was only ruse to distract
people from their real purpose; however this
may be, some of them have been pretty ex-
tensively "chinning around Wall street for
funds"
The friends of Governor Scott are very
active in trying to dlsconnect bis name from
any of the villanous practices OF his appointees
and political colleagues, aud tell of many in
stances in which he has denounced them as
''thieves" or ''scouudrels," and his friends now
think he ought to be able to speak advisedly.
Very strong rumors are circulating OF further
discoveries OF over-issues In the bonds OF the
State, swelling the amount far beyond the
highest figures yet published. In contradic-
tioA to Governor Scotts statement that all the
bonds printed had not been signed or issued,
comes q statement that In most Instances the
bonds LEFT the printers hand complete, even
10 the signatures, which were likewise printed.
