packing establishment of John J. Roe &
Go, Convent street, b55w3en Second and

SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Ruin that RadicaIism Has
Wrought.


NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Dispatches from
South Carolina say the State Comptroller
proposes to raise sum only equal to that
required on 1886 904 of the funded debt,
leaving about six millions unprovided for.
These are of the conversion bonds and
largely held in the North, but no satisfac-
tory account Of. their sales has ever been
made, and the Comptroller practically re-
pudiates them.
The Tribune says the taxes that are to be
collected to meet the interest on the re-
mainder Of the funded debt are not to be
covered into the State Treasury without .
struggle. The State officials elected on the
Moses ticket in October have prevented
this by the issuing OF a restraining injuDc-
ton procured at their instance. Whatever
may be the real cause of South Cardinals
financial troubles, it is clear that even the
offcisls do not trust each other.

With the talk about town regarding the
cause of the fire and its management by the
fire department, there is much said about
blowing up buildings during the fire. It is
asserted by many that the work was done
Improperly and illegally, and that the city
can be held by owners of property thus de-
stroyed for damages. 1t is said that 80
loosel y were permits to use powder drawn
and given to different parties that they
might have under them blown up the en-
tire city at their discretion. The num-

This was proceeding TO recover OF the bank the
amount OF a debt which 1t had received from the

tneir property. under an execution based upon
confession OF Judgment In favor OF the bank, made
when the hrm was lnsOlvent and under threat of

loaned money to the firm, and some al.
legged fraudulent representation having been
made, also the bank becoming suspicious OF the
s0lvency OF the firm, took this means Of collecting
the debt. The Court held that this confession OF
Judgment was an act OF bankruptcy and that the
bank obtained the benefit Of an unwarrantaDle
preference, and the decree was that the bank must
pay over the proceeds OF the sale made at Its ln-
stance, and also considerable sum OF money in It's
vaults on deposit by the firm, which also had been
