A COMMON MIsrAKE.--Itis is great
mistake to suppose that little, can be
accomplished if q man has reached the
age Of thirty OF forty years. Nine>
tenths of our clever men haze actually
exhibited more vigor Of intellect at fifty
years of.age, than at forty. g. Franklin
was forty before he, began, in real earn
est, the study Of natural philosophy.
The principal Of one Of the most Hour
ishing colleges in America, was a farm
servant until he was past the age when
most students have completed their COLI
leeiate education. Sir Henry Spelman
did not begin the study of science until
he was between Fifty and sixty years OF
ace. Greek was the first foreign lam
guage which Cato, the celebrated Ko'
man censor, acquired, and he did SO IN
his old age. Al6eri, whose writings
have caused revolution in the drama.
tic literature Of Italy, was left without
father in his infancy, and wasted his
early years. John Oeilby, the author
Of poestical trauslations from Virgil and
Homer, began ihe study of latin when
about forty yearsof age, and Greek. IN
his forty.fourth. Buccaccio, one OF the
most iliustrious writers that ever .ap,
peared in Italy, suffered nearly half Of
bis life to pass without improvement.
Handel was forty-eight before he pub .,

Counsel for tho Ku-Klux.

The Columbia Phenir learns.that the ex-
United States Attorney General, Mr.. Stans-
bury, Of Ohio, and the Hon. Reverdy john
SOD, of Baltimore, have been engaged to de-
fend the men to be tried, under the Ku-Klux
act OF Congress, at the approaching session
of the United States Court to be held in Co.
lumbia.
A sum OF money must be raised to carry
out the project, and it is hoped that each
county in the State will make contribution.
The object is two-iold: That ample justice
may be secured the prisoners, and that the
constitutionality OF the Ku-Klux law may be
tested. And under the circumstances no
lawyer at the South Carolina bar could speak
to the court, and to the country, as Messrs.
Stansbury and johnson will do. We hope
that the wise plan Of retaining these emf
nent gentlemen will not fail for want OF
money, and that all those who are able will
stand ready to give their assistaHce when
ever the call may be made.

Total issue of bonds and stocks. 50, 52s, ,564
There is a wide difference between the two
statements. The issues on account OF the
Bills of the Bank OF the State, the Bills Re-
ceiyable and the Land Commission are found
In both reports, but the amount OF debt,
October, 1867, (s5, 4O7, ,2l5,( as given by the
Financial Chronicle, Jana by the Comptrol-
ler-General,) does not agree with the amount
(s5,O7O, ,O13) reported by Governor Scott,
being the aggregate of the ante-war debt
and the bonds issued by the Provisional
Government. Passing over this, we find
that the Financial Chronicle charges $780,
600 for past due interest OF 1867, and $780,
600 for past due interest to July, 1869,
making o total of sSOO,0O Against this
we place Governor Scott's own official decla-
ration, in his message to the General Assem-
bly, in November, 1868, that ''the interest
"due on the entire debt July l, 1861" was
1856, 204, and "the interest due January !,
"ls69," was Sl5s,2l4 making q total OF
s514,4 or about $780, 900 less than the
amount set down by the Financial Chronicle
We now get on the track OF bigger game
The Financial Chronicle does not include in
its statement the 100000 OF Interest
bonds or the 81, 900, 900 Of bonds for the Re-
lief OF the Treasury which Governor Scott
reports as issued, and the reason OF the
omission is explained by our contemporary
in the following paragraph:
"In the statements submitted to us, from
which we have collated the foregoing part.el'
lars. we see two other items added to those
NE have given. Tie aggregates, however, are
not stated, and zee are assured that they erltI
not erceed three and half millions, making
the aoqreqate debt of the State about t,oelce mil
lions. This is the amount ut which We are IL
formed il will be stated In the forthcoming re-
port.
"The two items which we omitted are as fol-
lows Last year an act Of the Legislature was
passed authorizing the Governor TO raise
81, 900, 900 in cash for the pt nent oil interest
past due. The amount Of bonds ,oas not h,red
| but merely the aggregate Of cash to he raised
The same pouer ,oas give' in bill passed II
1869 for he relief of the treasury the sum o
,noney TO be raised under this act being atst
fred at 81, ,O0o. 900 III cash"
According, then, to the semi-officiai admis
siops of the Financial Chronicle:
l. The aggregate debt of the State is abou
sl2 600, 900 instead OF s9.5oo,OOO as report
Ell by Governor Scott last September.
.. The addition OF the IS, 100000 Of ster
ling Funding bonds (known to be bypothe
Gated in New York; swells the admitted deb
to sl5,5OO,OOO.
3. While Governor Scott officially report
that the bonds issued (Act OF August, 1868,
for the payment Of interest on the pusll
debt, and (Act Of February, s69,) for tn
relief of the treasury amount to only So.
900, 900, it is positively stated by the Finan
ctn Chronicle that these bonds amount, q
nast, to s3,o9o,ooO or ss,5O0,ooo An
