SOUTH CAROLINA TRANSACTIONS.

NEW YORK, November 5.-The
World says: The most extraordinary
umOr are in circulation concerning
the issue of bonds Ofthe State of South
Carolina, and there are suspicious that
there has been such m oVer-iSsue as
absolutely to endanger the SOlVenCv
of the State. 1t * stated that a bank
note company of this city printed
twenty millions in bonds, which have
passed into the possession of Mr..
hemptOn, State financial agent; that
several members of the State Govern
fnent are in this city; that other prom
iHent South Carolinians are herc
Watching their proceedings. Governor
Scott is said % have admitted the
printing OF the bonds. but does not
state The object of their issue. 1t i
also alleged that many of the STATE
officials are implicated in the misap-
preparation of moneys of the State and
LAT it is he. ieVed that the fraudulent
ssne of twenty millions had been ne
gotiated and the money mi>apptied.
There is nothing surprising in the
foregoing. In every Radical State
in the South the same thinghaS been
going on for years. They are all
loaded down Ito the scuppers . with
fraudulent Indebtedness of the sam e
sort. Gov. Scott and the State
Treasurer of South Clrolina endeavor
to explain this away by saying that
some of these bonds were intended
TO meet the contingency of the next
Legislature in ordering the further
issue of State bonds. This is alto
gether "too thin" Officials DO not
transac, business in that way, The
pretext deceives nobody. Even if
true it would not help the matter
any. 1t would only prove a huge
job in prospective instead Of one
wholly completed. But that it IS
not true appears to be the fact. OF
a late date the World r~eiteratcs the
report regarding the plundering Of
South Carolina by the State officials.
1t SAYS that later information shows
it not only to be correct, but even
so tempered in the interest Of truth
and justice toward all as % fall far
short OF the real condition of affairs.
Twenty millions is a pretty little
job at one time, but not greater than
has been carried out in several of
the earpet-bas States, They are all
in the same fix. Yet much of this
same South Carolina has been placed
under martial law by President
Grant, at the instigation Of these
officials in effect to assist them in
carrying out their financial schemes.
