The South Carolina Bond Frauds.

The South Carolina Bond FRAUDS.
Our New York correspondent, (says
the Charleston Cou,ier,) in his letter un-
der date of the 23d inst, in speaking OF
these bonds says: 1.-The South Carolina
Bond frauds have been so we'll ventilated
in this city, that it was almost an abor-
tive attempt for the auctioneer to offer
quantity Of them for sale in the Exchange
Sales-room yesterday. Every effort was
made to induce the spectators to in
vest, and specimen bondsmen freely ex-
hibited, and yet the first lot OF $4,000
South Carolina Six Per Cent. new bonds,
interest April and October, (hypotheca-
ted.) was sold for 23l per cent. This was
bad enough, but when the seller offered
what. purported to, be I per cent. bonds,
no bids could be got, and the interested
parties bid them in at Is per cent. They
were another issue of the new bonds, in
terest payable January and July, and
were pronounced fraudulent securities
by men who have handled thousands OF
the bonds Of the State, because they were
drawn for seven instead Of six per cent.
interest. Others maintained that the
bonds, If not actual forgeries, but bona
fide securities, could not draw more than
six per ceEt., and even this was doubtful
with the present State Government. 1t
was stated, confidentially, to well
known financier later in the day. that the
bonds were sent by parties to this mar
ket to be sold for whatever they would
bring, and werc known to be frauds in
South Carolina, from whence they ema-
mated. The total amount of these frauds
offered yesterday, was SsOO,OoO, but there
arc moro ofthe kind supposed to be kept

All lSi1ht.

The Charleston Courier, the Nepy, and
other leading journals, (says the Sumter
NerS) advocate the "repudiation" of the
enormous debts fraudnlcntly imposed
upon down-trodden South Carolina by
the infamous "ring" of pet-baggers
who infest the State. We agree entirely
with those journals. We would as soon
pay forged note as those stolen bonds.

He Couldn't Tell a Lie.

Alf BurEet, in one of his letters
to Tile People, Of indianapolis,
relates the following anecdote:
BY the by, a good story is told
of Ben Butler and his notorious
honesty. A short time since, Ben
Butler and Wendell Phillips bad
business with the President, and
arm ia arm, proceeded to call
upon him. The President was
busy, and sent word that he
would see them presently. Phil
lips ard Butler strolleG ont into
the conservatory, in the rear Il
the White House, thence to the
garden. Butler aud Philips were
engaged in an animated conversa
ton upon some topic. Butler be-
came slightly excited.
A large ha.cllet belonging to
the gardener was beside tree ;
Butler casually picked it up, and
while talking he made several
deep gashes with it into one of
General Grants favorite trees
just at this juncture, the Presi-
dent appearing, Butler hastily
secreted it under his coat tails.
After the compliments Of the
day, the President spied for the
first time his mntilated tree, and,
with tones OF vehemencc, inquir-
cd who had been cutting and
gnshing that tree. Alter q few
moments pause, Butler stepped
bravely up to the President, and
took him by the hand, saying" Mr..
President, | cannot tell a lie; l
connot tel lie; Wendell Philips
did it."
