been improperly issued. Gov Chamberlain
declares very positively that, as to all bonds
of this class, perfect records exist OF every
issue and of the cancellation of the bonds
surrendered in lieu of them, which could at
any time have been 50 examined within q lew
hours III the State offices at the capital az
completely to protect the State against MUS
tice.
To compel the holders to submit these bonds
to inspection and scrutiny, involving dclay
of perhaps a year. is an Infamous thing. lhey
were virtually forced upon holders OF former
bonds, the validity of which had been recog-
nized by the Legislature and by the courts, at
the rate of 90 cents on the d0llar-a nat re-
pudiation of 40 per cent of a recognized
debt. At the same time other bonds amount
ing to several millions were wholly repudl-
ated. Creditors accepted these hard terms
simply because they could get no better. 1t
was part of the new contract that the coupons
of the new bonds should be receivable for
taxes. But now in defiance of equity and
dccency, the Legislature repudiates this pro-
vision by requiring that no payment of interest
shall be made and no such coupons received,
until after new inspection, the taxes beng
meanwhile collected. The operation is naked
theft. If one Legislature can thus defer pay
ment, any other can with equal reason order
new scrutiny, and another years delay.
South Carolina cannot yindicate itself in
this way Gov. Hampton, if he has any poit-
zeal sagacity, must know that the passage of
such an act as this will be regarded all over
the world as proof that the party now in power
in South Carolina is party OF regulators. lie
ought to insist, with all his power, that his
Government shall not be disgraced and his
party brought into such odum. II is still pos
sible, if he has the requisite trmness and the
influence which he has seemed to have, that
the bill may be amended into dccency i'll the
Senate. But if Gov. Hampton and the better
men of his party fail in this, a most vital point
of public policy and public honor, with what
reason can their influence be trusted IN other
matters2 The first fruits of government by
white taxpayers in South Carolina ought not
to be such swindle as this.

OUR PERIPATETTC PRESIDENTS.

There was an odd contrast in the receptions
given to the President just in and the Presi-
dent lust ont last week. The newspaper re-
ports read about the same-dmneTs, speeches,
handshaking; but they held a deal of signiii-
cant meaning to those who read between the
lines. President Grant received Il hearty well
come from his friends in Philadelphia, and
whatever his faults nobody ever doubted that
he was a man who knew how to make per-
sonal friends and to keep them. These friends
were, naturally enough, the politicians whom he
had obliged: there was, besides, the usual curl
Osity among the masses to see a noted man,
which counts for but little A murderer OF
distinction would draw as big a crowd; but
there was one feature in the hospitality OF this
crowd which was finely human and at the
same time distinctively American: the good
Hatured eager desire to put out OF sight PIesl-
dent Grants shortcomings, and to restore Gen.
Grant to his old place i'll popular favor. lie
had the favor which the under dog i'll the fight
always has in an American crowd. When the
people shouted and the cannon doomed God
speed to him on his long journey. it was with
the kIndlicst fOrgetfulness OF all his faults, be-
cause his career was over.
The welcome given to President Hayes was
equally hearty both here and in Philadelphia,
but it had different motive. He is man
with comparatively no record to attract a
gaping crowd compared with that of the most
popular of soldiers and most unpopular of
Presidents he has as yet no large following
of personal friends but he holds in his hands
the greatest opportunity for good given i'll this
age to any living man; the eyes OF the cOun-
try follow his every motion with hope, and
fear almost as strong as the hope. The public
receptions of last week were almost the first
occasions on which he was brought face to face
with the people, and the people, with all their
cordial welcome for his honest course IN the
two months of Office already past, were keenly
critical as Ia the chances of his honesty i'll the
years of Office to come. There was not New
Yorker who left his coupe or his cart to take
the President by the hand the other day who
did not come to make up his mind about
Hayes" and no one, we venture to say,
went away without feeling that it was gen
uinc, wcll-meaning, honorable man who stood
before MIN and looked him fair in the eye, or
without receiving from even that momentary
meeting encouragement for the future of the

Although the showers that have visited locali-

Last FALL at the meeting Ofhe National Academy OF
Sciences Prof Elias Loomis Who is authority upon
such Subjects announced it a general rule for
these ATTITUDES that long periods OF warm weather
were associated with extensive depresslons Of the
barometer and, on the other hand periods of cold
weather with high barometer. As there is usually
a high wave of ar-pressuTe somewhere at a distance
TO balance the low wave, Prof. LOOMS had found
warm weather in Iceland when it was cold at
Vienna, and vice versa. 1t would be interesting to
know whether Alaska, for instance, is now freezing,
while New-YOrk is broiled.

what the trainers of the resolution intended. The

An interesting London letter describes the
stormy scene in the British Parliament, when
Mr. Gladstone's compromise with his own party
was made known. 1t is painful duty to call
attention to the fact that during this excited
debate members "literally wIestled and tugged
at each others coat-tails." 1t is to be hoped
that those susceptible journalists who, from
their seats in the Washington galleries, con-
fidentially assured the London press, when
Beebe performed his electoral doublc-shutllc,
that republican, government must he given up

Russian report, by the utter rout of the

TALLY invested by the Russians, can
hardly fail now to be the next
conquest. But the capture Of Arabian will,
of itself, greatly facilitate the concentration of
the advancing columns Of the Car in Asia.
1t will also help to demonstrate the interioriy

1t is well known that the Sandy Hook cx-

were exploded, yielded no information OF

facts about the materials experimental upon
should be collected beforehand The neglect
of this preparatory work made the actual eX-

much to be regretted, since what Is left Of the
