Governor Scott Charges the Treasurer
with a Fraudulent Issue of Bonds.
Telegram to the New York Tribune.
COLUMBIA, November 90.

o. b. H
| t~-- COLUMBIA, November 90.
In an, interview with the Tribune
correspondent yesterday, Governor
Scott stated that he had reason to
foar that thcro has been a fraudulent
issue of a considerable amount of
South Carolina bonds made by the
State treasureH through the financial
agent in New York. This, he said,
may havo been done by roselling
bonds that have been converted into
new conversion bonds, instead of can
ceiling them. If any of the seven
per cent. bonds Issued in 1869 for the
relief Of the. treasury are still in the
markets sbe believes they are fraudu-
lest, as he has signed new bonds for
their conversion, The same is true,
be said, of 100000 of land conmis-
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 new bonds signed
by himcf for the purpose. d.. . ,.-
" The State treasurer and the fnan-
cial agent, Mr.. Kimpton, who are
now here, say that the Governor is
misintormed, and that they are able
to prove that there has been no such
fraudulent reissue as he asserts.
The treasurer to day mado state
ment of the. whole amount Of the
debt of the State, which he offors to
verify by ubmitting 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 .withra view to deceive the
public. The entire debt Of tho State,
not:including liabilities on account OF
Inducements of railroad :bonds, il
$15,S05,9O8 as, of which S6,453,9O8.-
SO is old debt, and S9,353,0o0 now
debt. or this sum S3,672,000 are
new bonds, which have been hypoth-
scated by Mr. Kimpton to obtain a
temporary loan of about 100000.
But, as there is no prospect that the
State will be able to redeem them,
they are properly included in tho
gross amount OF the debt. The

The Butler american says: Con-
siderable excitement has existed here
abouts relative to oil being discovered
in the we'll of Mr.. Adam Ritter, in
Oakland township, about five miles
northeast of Butler. As to the exis-
tence of oil in large quantities in the
well there can be no doubt, as several
Of our citizens have visited the place
and seen it drawn out. 1t is reported
as bubbling out of the bottom of the
we'll, accompanied with a peculiar
noise, and on vessels being let down,
it is drawn up with the water in con-
siderable quantities. The we'll was
sunk about five years ago, but no in
dicatIons of oil were known until re.
Gently. We understand that arrange
ments are made to test the matter, and
should it prove true, it will open a new
oil field. We hear of several wells
going down in new localities of this
county, and we are inclined to think
Butler county will yet prove an exten-
sive oil field.

The Renubl;cans of Ob;o At tbe

The Republicans of Ohio, at their
convention recently held, nominated
for Governor Gen. Edward f. Noyes,
a one legged soldier, and young man
of good address and brilliant record.
Entering the army at the beginning of
the war, as Major of the 39tb Ohio, he
participated with credit and distinc-
tion in the battles of Iuka and Corinth,
afte. wards taking part in Sherman's
advance upon Atlanta, losing his right
foot in desperate charge on Kenesaw
Mountain. Returning to his home in
Cincinnati, he was by sort of COM
mon consent elected Prosecuting At
torney of Hamilton county, acquitting
himself with so much satisfaction ia
the people that, before his term had
expired, he was selected for Probate
Judge, the duties of which Office he
discharged equally well. In whatever
position, military or civil, he has been
placed, he appears always to have won
respect and admIration.-Erse Repub

The M'Kean Miner says: On the
first instant Charles G. Stanchfeld,
aged about IA years, and johnny
Barkas, aged about ten, went to the
Allegheny River, near the Knapp
bark landing, for the purpose of going
in swimming. One of them proposed
to carry the other across the river on
his back, and the elder boy undertook
to do so, but after getting near the
middle of the stream, it is supposed
that Johnny became frightened and let
go and began to sink, when his COM
panion caught him by the hair, and
while trying to save him they both
sank three or four times, struggling
desperately for life and calling loudly
for help. There being no ole near
enough to aid them, they sank to the
bottom and were found, by raking aud
diving, within an hour and a quarter
frsm that time.

The Erieites seem to think they
are going to have big oil excitement
there. Witness the following from the
Erie Republican:
A considerable number of our citi.
zens we're electrified yesterday after
noon by the report that oil had been
struck at Deming's Planning Mill, on
Peach near the corner ofTwelfth street.
Having heard the rumor our reporter
set out for the oil territory at once, aud
then and there had the pleasure of see-
ing the drilling cable as it assembled
from the cavernous depths below,
saturated with fine looking green oil.
The we'll was &C mmenced some weeks
ago for gas, and at the depth of five
hundred feet had not only a large
amount of gas but a fine promise for
oil. The oleaginous product was dis
covered yesterday at about halfpast
ten o'clock, and since that time the
show upon the rope seems to be on the
increase. Two hundred feet more may
bring forth a first class we'll, and per-
chance place us ahead of Cory or
Meadville on the oil question.
