The financial situation is unchanged, but any
change must be for the Better. The State Is
perfectly bankrupt, and a draft OF one dollar
on the State treasury to-day was dishonored.
Judges, school teachers and other State ap-
pointees are clamoring for payment, and SELL

The worst feature of the situation is the alb
sence Of financial officers of the State and the
studious suppression Of facts By those who re.
main.
TIE largest taxpayers and the leading
bankers of this city are wholly ignorant OF the
condition of the State finances, and the secu-
rites of the State are offered at ridiculously
low figures, with no takers. The Interest
on the State bonds, due October lst, has not
yet been paid, and the bankers of this city, at
their meeting to-day, agreed to have no
further dealings in State securities. 1t is
stated on the highest authority that the name
of Henry Clews, Of New York, appears on
Klmpton's bond only as witness, and not as
bondsman. B. W.T..

selection of Its customary election roorback.
The story that officers of the South Carolina
government have made large over-issue OF
bonds, is clumsy contrivance, If intended, to
influence votes; and an impotent one too: for
not only was the statement so overdone that
nobody could believe 1t, but 1t was made when
the governor and treasurer were here to con-
tradict 1t.
The World, however, is correct in stating
that 0,040,000 bonds and stock have been
printed by the American Bank Note Company;
but, beyond this, We cannot find that one
word of it's statement Is deserving of belief.
The government has been authorized to issue
tending the date OF the outstanding obliga-
tions Of the State, amounting to about sI1,-
000, 900. In the process of consolidation and
conversion 81. .040, 900 Of these new bonds have
been already Issued, and s2,5O0, 900 of regis
tered stock and S3,500,0 900 Of sterling bonds
are In the hands OF the State authorities, to be
issued In connection with the conversion of the
all these issues are accompanied with the
cancellation Of an equal amount of old obllga-
tions, and involve no increase OF the State
debt
It may be asked, however. what of the re-
naming So, 600, 900 printed? In the first place
these are not bonds, not having been signed.
They are simply 30 many blank forms, which
as the United States Government holds re-
serve of blank registered bondforms, or rail-
road holds supply OF blank stock certificates.
Under the laws OF the State, q holder of cou-
pom bonds can have them exchanged for reg
istered stock, and holder of registered stock
can have 1t converted into bonds. For these
purposes, as we'll as to provide for the issue
OF new certificates in connection with Or
dinary market transfers Of registered stock,
the State treasurer is necessarily provided
with reserve supply of blank forms to be
signed as occasion may require; but never
without the cancellation of some other obliga-
tlon returned to The treasurer. Hence, the
reason for having $40, 900, 900 of bonds printed,
while the State debt to be converted Is only
$l1, ,O00, 900.
While we have no opinions to offer on the
management of the South Carolina State anan-
ces-a matter in which there appears to be
considerable difference of views-slmply be-
cause we have no well authenticated facts
upon which to base an opinion, yet these ex-
plantations are due alike to the Stale and Its
creditors, in correction Of reckless mlsrepre-
Sentatlon.
