A Debt OF s15, 100000.
From the Columbia Phoenix,

The correspondent of the New York Tribune
has been at work tor five days In trying to ar
rive at the real amount OF the State debt
Parker, Neagle, Scott and chamberlain nave
at last agreed in report to him, which WIN De
psblished In the Tribune of to-day. The total
aa1ount is set down as sl5,s00, 900. We wish
we could believe this to be all But K Scott sta
ted only last July to the Senate kn-hlux com
mittee that the debt was s SOC, 900. 1t seems
that he either did not knew, or purposely mis-.
stated 1t. Is he right now? We do not be-
lieve it. The taxpayers will not be satisfied
until their representatives have access to the
treasurer's accounts. But let them keep OH
rendering accounts. They will get up to tie
proper figures about the time they are ready
10 teave the State for good.
The Governor has hit upon scapegoat for
his financial sins. He has been much worried
how to treat the bond business in his message,
but it was suggested that that id Chicago
fire was to blame for ali the fuss. e., being
found out. So Scott will perhaps speak OF the
financial crisis as the act OF Providence, and
will recommend the taxpayers to bow with
resignation to the Divine DEGREES. Will his
Excellency tell US how his head is now?

upon great tree till every leaf thrills
with the note in it /; and wind up the

An exchanges says there is tannery
in Roxbury, Massachusetts, for the tan
ming of alligator's hides, which, when
properly tanned. make an exceedingly
tough and elastic quality OF leather, said
to be almost impervious to water. The
first attempt made to utilize the hides OF
the reptile, By making them into leather
for boots, dates back about fifteen years,
and was undertaken by two French
brothers in- New Orleans, who, however,
did not make a good article. and failed
during the war, when the establishment
was transferred to Rox bury Green hides
of the alligator were purchased at New
Orleans and all along the coast of Florida,
all of which find their way to the Rox-
bury tanncry, where they undergo a long
and expensive tanning process, during
which they are handled every week.
The skins of the young animals, only,
are available. as. after maturity, the hides
becomes horny aud valueless.
