SOUTH oARoLlNA.

CHARLESTON, August e.-Comproller
General Nogle, publishes letters TO Gov.
Scott, setting forth the fact that the legis.
lature at It's last session ordered TO be
levied and collected, q tax sufficient TO
pay the interest on the entire public debt.
No action having been taken in this mat.
ter, the Comptroller demands that the
Governor requires the State Auditor
to assess and collect said tax forthwith.
The State authorities 1t Is said intend to
collect this tax amounting to over one
million dollars by the 10th Of Septem.
Der. In letter 10 Henry CIews & Co.,
New York, dated August 9, Gov. Scott
says the interest on the State debt was not
paid because the excessive legislative ex.
penses absorbed all the money in the
Treasury and unless especial tax Is levied
and collected Immediately, as urged, no
interest can be paid before January next,
when the regular tax now being levied
will be received.
The Governor concurs In the Justice Of
the complaints made against the fee for
registration Of the State bonds charged by
the Commercial Warehouse Company, but
says the object Of the registration Is to
satisfy the bondholders that there are no
fraudulent bonds, and that the debt Is
truly less than sixteen millions. Governor
Scott declares that all the money received
from hypothecation and saleI Of bonds,
excepting 100000, has been used IN
meeting liabilities accruing before 1859,
and he claims that this Is the most eco.
nomically managed government in the
nation. In conclusion, he says in the fu.
ture tax will be levied to pay the inter.
est on the debt, and the money SO collected
Is to be applied to that purpose alone.
