WALHALLA, CAROLINA, FRIDAY NOVEMBER o. 1871

"the public debt" shows that the Governor
is authorized "to borrow, on the credit of
"the State of the South Carolina, on coupon
"bonds, within twelve months from the pas
"sage Of this Act, sum not exceeding one
"nsailion dollars, or us much thereof as he
"may deem necessary to pay interest on the
"public debt" Now Governor Scott himself
estimated that the entire interest on tho pub
lio debt, duo and falling due up to January,
1869, the timo when, under the Act lust
mentioned, the payment of interest should
begin, was only S5l4,4l8. To meet this lie
was authorized to issue one million dollars of
bonds This was the plain intention of the
Act. Governor Scott holds that he was au.
thorized to issue as many bonds rs might be
sold for Sl,000,00O IN cash, and for ali that
we know he may have printed and issued
threo or four million dollars of bonds under
this one Act. The Act of February, 1869,
to authorize loan for the Relief of the Treas.
ury is similar in character to that of Fcbrua-
ry, 1869. 1t authorizes the Governor to
borrow, con the credit of the State of South
"CaroIina, on coupon bonds," sum not cx-
cceding one million dollars, and that the
bonds 'may be used as collateral scca.ritv }or
"toans by the Financial Agent of tho State
Gin tho city of New York, 10 accordance with
"the directions of the Governor, Attorney
"Goncral, Comptroller General and Treasurer
"of this State, who may also authorize the
"said Financial Agent to sell said bonds at
"thc highest marhet price, but not less than
"for sum to be fixed by them; and they
care further authorized to pay such sums ~
"moncy as may be nccesSa,y to effect the pur-
"poses of this Act, out Of any finds or Mc
"State not otherwise appropriated" Under
this Act, as we'll as under the Act of August,
1858, Governor Scott may have printed and
pawped several million dollars of bonds, NAV
have sold them for song, and may have al.
lowed Mr. Kimpton half a million for his
share of the labor. 1t is no cxaggeration to
say that, under two Acts pluinly intcnletz
to authorize an issue Of $4,000, ,00OGo/Jonds,
Governor Scott and his colleagues may have
issued all the twenty or thirty millions which
are said to have been printed There was,
indeed, no other limit to the issue than such
as might be found in tho "honor and intcg.
rity'' Of the financial officers of the State.
What that is worth the people know too we'll.
They can see for themselves that the finan.
cial prospect grows darker and darker. They
must see that, to acknowledge, or pay, claims
of the character of those which are attempted
to be thrust upon them, would be to connivc
at fraud and set premium on successful
knavery. They must see that there is only
one course to pursue, whatever the cost viz
to refuse to recognize, or pay, any claim which
is not proved to bo legal, and to stop Me sup.
pies. 10 withhold the taxes is to hold the
Ring for at least two months in the laws of
ruins Charleston Nc,os.

TmR Proper REMEDY-Wo regret to
sec that tho Charleston Courier, referring to
the alleged corruption of our State officials in
regard to the bonded debt, advocates out and
out reputation as relief from our impend.
ing ills and that tho Nc,os, dwelling upon the
same subject, advises the reope to refuse to
pay the State and county taxes now filling
due until trustworthy exhibit is made of
the entire liabilities of the State, and until
furthermore satisfactory guarantees are given
that the moneys of the people will hereafter,
be honorably spent.
The wisdom Of either Of these plans is
extremely doubtful. If Gov Scott Niles
e. Parker, DIR. Neagle, and others, who arc
charged with perpetrating these alleged frauds
are guilty of the charges, let them be brought
to the bar of justice in legal manner and
there be mado to answer for their msdecds.
Our State officials arc amenablo to the people
for their acts, and the people have it in their
power to hold them to n strict accountability
for tho faithful performance of their duties.
We have had the temerity on former CO.
casions to advance the old fogy and some
what obsolete doctrine that two wrongs do
not make right, and that it is better for an
outraged people to seek redress for their gricv.
ances in legal manner and We think sub.
sequcnt developments Of quite recent date,
prove the correctness of the policy indicated.
We suggest the same course in the present
instance. Let us ignore the idea of rcpudia
ting legal obligations, and let the people pay
their taxes as they become due and having
discharged our duties properly, if our public
officers arc rcmiss in the performance Of
theirs, let thcm DO brought to condign pm
ishmcnt in legal manner YorhoWc En-.
