South CAROLINA Bonds AND WALL
STREET.-The New York correspond
ent OF the Philadelphia Ledger, of the
18th, says: The South Carolina Treu-
surer. Mr.. Cardozo, has returned
home. His mission can hardly be
called success, as the bondholders
have almost unanimously determined
to resist the proposition he had to
offer. aud to hold the bonds at their
full value until the State is able to pay
them. In other words. the creditors
OF the State decline to turn in their se-
curities aud in lieu thereof accept a
consolidated bond ut fifty oeuts TN the
