THE TRICKS OF THE RING.
A New Development of the Rascality
of r. K. Scott.


From the Columbia Clro!inlan, February ell
Quite an interesting case came up in the
Circuit Court before Judge Carpenter yesler'
day. 1t Is entitled the Slate eX relation, Is.
G. Shiver Vs. F. L Cardozo as Slate treasurer:
Dir. Shiver has filed petition for witt OF
maudamus to compel Treasurer Cardozo 10
raw Ave thousand dollars upon warrant
Issued by Comptroller Neagle last year 10
favor OF C. J. Slolbraud, superintendent OF
the pententary. Messrs. Montelth and Baus-
kett represented the relater, and the attorney
general and G. D. Melton, ESQ.,, appeared lot
The Slate treasurer. From the pleadings, IL
appears that the warrant for the pay.
lnent of which the cult was Instituted
was one of six each for five thousand dol
lars which had been deposited with 4. 4.
Scott, some time last May, as collateral secnrl.
~ for note OF fifteen thousand dollars. Tne
note ran on. bearing interest at the rate ol
one and half per centum per month, until
few weeks ago. Being then In funds, MT.
Stolbrand applied TO tie Ex-Governor 10 pay
The money and redeem his note, or TO pay the
interest on 1t. AS 10 this point we are not
clearly informed, bnt 1t Is immaterlal. The
fact Is, or appears 10 be, that 3. E. Scott,
when called upon. could not, or would not,
produce the warrants which had been lodged
with him as collateral security. He mad
drawn the full amount OF his note, fifteen
thousand dollars, upon three Of The warrants,
from The treasury, aud had surreptiliousIy and
illegally disposed of the other three. One OF
them had come into the hands OF the relator,
alter passing 10 different individuals, and
upon this the present suit is based.
We do not care, for we think 1t Improper 10
discuss the legal points involved. These we
leave 10 the court. But We do think that
Scott ought TO be prosecuted, II the iacls as
we hear them are true; and in case OF any
loss 10 the State, Mr.. Superintendent Stol-
brand ought 10 be held responsible for this
certificate, though In law, perhaps, the Slate
has in fact received not cent of consider
alton. The fault lies either with Scott or Stol-
brand. The amount of money Is not much,
but the principle Is of great Importance.
