The New Way to pay Old Debts.

The bouse has passed bill scaling
tbe updisputed bonds of the state down
to forty per cent, without counting
in the accrued interest for two years, and
entirely repudiating the conversion bonds
amounting to about six million ofdoliars'
The state press goes off into extacles
over this '.wiping OUT of the state debt
The conservatives are perfectly delight
ed The republicans are jubilant.
But has anybody stopped to consider
whether there are any other parties to
he consulted ? Will the holders Of the
unoue,tioned bonds of the state be will
ING to surrender them for the new scaled
bonds. We think not. IF the state
treasurer had four millions of greenbacks
ready to bay the bonds for cash, he
might be able to retire most OF them at
forty cents on the dollar But when he
has only another bond to offer the pre-
sent holders it is not likely that there
will pe any rush to give one thousand
dollars for four hundred.
The holders ofthe unquestloned bonds
Of South Carolina will keep them, secure
in the belief that sooner or later they
will be redeemed. principal and interest,
Nv a government which has some regard
for the good name Of the state. AT any
rate the will keep their bonds sunhl they
can treat with representatives of the
peopIe in whose good faith and stability
of purpose they can have confidence
Again, does it ever occur to our reJolc-
ing friends that six millions OF bones
cannot be wiped out" so completely by
an amendment to a bill? Have they not
had evidence of the vitality OF other
claims against the state. Cannot the
present condition of the bills OF the
Bank of the State tech, them how like a
Nemesis debt follows the debtor? How
many times have they exulted over the
d.ath and burial of the Blue Ridge scrip?
Who thinks that the day is now with us
when six millions will long remain out IN
the cold?
We ask our friends of the state press
to cut the following out and save 1t until
next wear about this time:
This scaling business is a job. 1t is
proposed and put through in order to
avoid the amendment to the constitution
adopted at the last election forbiddlng
the increase of the state bonded debt
without submitting the question to the
people. Those who are engineering the
scheme have no faith in it as means OF
relief to the state, but acting upon the
assumption that they have reduced the
debt every claim against the state will
now be paid IN bonds; new claims will be
created with greater recklessnes than
ever, and one year from to-day COVER
por's message will inform US that our
bonded deb; is twenty millions and that
a floating debt is again pressing for pay
ment. The unquestioued bonds will not
have been exchanged; favorable de-
cision will have been secured upon the
conversion bonds; the bills of the Bank
of the State will still present themselves
for payment; and,what we shall do to
be saved, will be as lively question as

Political Items.

The majority for the democratic candi-
dates for state officers in New York is
about IL 900.
The democrats gained ten members of
the assembly in the recent New Jersey
election.
In Virginia Kemper, the conservative,
has majority of twenty.six thousand
over Hughes, republican. The conser-
vatives have rinty-one majority on joint
ballot in the legislature, which is to elect
United States senator. K. NJ. L.
Hunter is candidate.
In Massachusetts the republican
majority is reduced to 1880. Gen. n.
p. Banks was elected as an independent
republican to the state senate. There
are eleven democrats in the state senate
and sixty in the house. The legislature
is believed to bo hostile to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory liquor law.
In Maryland the democratic majority
is 10000, with sixty majority in join:
ballot in the legislature.
Ames, republican carries Mississippi
by 10000 majesity, with a majority in
the legislature Of radicals.
The county returns from Illinois are
now in from all but six counties. The
farmers have carried 81 counties, the
Republicans II, the Democrats l3. and
in l3 there were no party issues. The
total vote is now estimated at $50, 900,
which is $50, 600 more than in the cor
responding election of 1871. The in
crease in votes is attributed to the great
er interest Of the people in the new
issues.

In Kansas the returns from so districts
show that 33 regular Republicans. 80
Farmers, and 9 Independent members
to the Legislature have been elected.
The other 20 districts will probably elect

half the Senate holds over, and the Re-
pubiicans have a majority in that body
of 26.
1t is reported that the Ad.ninistra-

Supreme Court nccisicns.

Our wise ones in Columbia flOut the
decision of our state supreme count In
the Morton. Bliss bond case. Speakers
in republican caucus tell how much
one Judge got in cash for the decision; !;
show how brotberly love affected an
other and insinuate that the other was
cheated Of his share because OF his col
Or. Nor do they treat the federal SUI
preme court decisions with. much more
respect. It's decisions are secuted at
as oppressive, absurd, and to be resist

The Agricultural Land Scrip.

Mr.. Kimpton very satisfactorily proved
to a committee of the legislature, last
week, that he was not in any way re-
sponsible for the less of the agricultural
college bonds. He acted under the ex-
press orders of the financial board, after
great deal of hesitation, and only in cr-
der to save the state a very large amount
ofbonds which would have been sacri.
feed if some way was not found to re-
lieve the broker who held them. 1t is
evident that the trustees were to blame
in the matter.

The ball of the South Carolina Club,
which took place on Thursday evening,
was an elegant as well as delightful en-
tertaiumeut. The attendance was not
large, but there was enough people pres
ent to furnish about thirty couples for
the floor, with the usual compliment Of
''wall fowers''-enough, certainly for all
practical purposes. The attendance rep
resented persons from all parts of the
state.
DR.. Thomas J. Moore, a brother in
law of Senator John j Patterson, was
arrested here last night on a charge OF
forgery. Fillebrowne, the chief clerk of
Comptroller Hoge, discounted in Sep
tember last a note of Moore's, endorsed
BY Patterson, amounting to $4,000. Pat
terson. declares his signiture forgery,
and Fillebrowne has had Moore arrested,
and he is now in Jail.
Nov. l6.
The gala week closed last night with
the horse racing improvised for the day !;
the fair closed Friday when the pre-
miums were distributed. The hard times
had the effect of reducing the number OF
visitors this year; on Thursday there was
good attendance, but only for the day,
the cars being loaded to excess with
those returning the next morning. As
is usually the case, the racing was the
centre of attraction.
In consequence of the fair festivities
the greater part of the work of the leg's-
lature has been done after dark. The
bill making appropriation for printing
created an exciting debate, but las sailed
safely through the senate. The bill to
pay the claims of the South Carolina
bank and trust company amounting to
si25-O0O was fought by the democrats
and several OF the other side, including
the Charleston delegation, who consti'
tuted force sufficiently strong, in the
absence of two senators, to bring ques'
tions to tie vote, on two occasions on
its second reading; this forced the pres
ident of the senate to give the diciding
vote, which he did in favor of the friends
of the measure.
Debates have occasionally assumed Q
beligerent form in the lower house, anc
the equilibrium of members became sc
shaken that they forgot themselves. Mr.
Hamilton accused the chairman of the
committee on ways and means (Mr
Bowley) of having signed report in ia
vor of and then voting against the bill
thus misleading him. Rash words tol
lowed, and Hamilton asserted that he
would hold the member responsible out
side the hall; Bowley retorted that he
would 90 now, and out they passed
Something of rush was made to the
door, and the speaker finally obtained
order. The two gentlemen soon returned
bearing no visible marks of personal in
jury.
There is at present a good deal o.
growing among members because tho
governor has held back certain Of his ap
pointments from the senate. Those
most frequently referred to in private cir
cles, appear to be the treasurers O
Charleston and Union counties.

HAVANA, November Is, VIA KEY WEST.
There is great anxiety here to see the

ton of the Virginus captives has virtually
decided the fate of the island.' Other
journals contain articles similar in tone.
The Spanish loan has reached the lowest
figure on the stock market.
New YORK, November Is.
The Times takes the ground that Spain
being unable to control Cuba. the Unit
ed States must take control there. There
is extensive preparations for the Cuba
indignation meeting to be held on Mon
day. VIM. Gu len Bryant will preide,
and Banks, Beecher, Wilson, Sumner,
Allen and Govclct of Ohio, have been
invited to speak. The Spaniards are
preparing to convert the Nirgiuius into
gunDoat.
HAVANA, November l6.
The Eoz de Cuba says that a conspiracy
has been discovered in Ilolquin and the
surrounding jurisdiction for rising
simultaneously with the landing Of the
Irginius' expedition. The plot had
extensive ramitications throughout the
island, and was to have bccu carried into
execution on the t of November. Many
persons have already been arrested, and
arrests are daily increasing. The Noz
hopes that parties who may be convicted
of laking part in the conspiracy viii be

the fact that orders have been received
from Washing on to prepare all avalla-

Parker's Notes.

The passage of Hardy Solomon's bill
is recognition of the validity of Par
ker's notes, and in addition it admits
that they carry interest at the rate of one
per cent. a month. His demand for in
terest and his success in getting it is a
commentary upon Roman iii, and 2.

SO Easy!

Getting out of debt by refusing to pay,
is just as easy as rolling off log. The
only parallel to it, we know of, is that of
a merchant getting rich by marking up
his goods fifty per cent? and it is just as
certain to result in success!
