The Interest on the Public Debt,

The bill for the payment of $27O, ,oOasas

the sterns opposition displayed
by many Representatives to its passage.
Among these opposing members were

believe them right We all know that
the funded debt of South Carolina is one
of huge proportions and that it has been
rolled up to it's present size by every
species of fraud and corruption known

more readily recognize the importance
of investigating committees than the
hard working people of the State. We
believe in the States being true to her
promises to pay every dollar she may
legitimately owe, and we further more,
believing in her being confined in those
promises that her investigating commit

we do not approve Of an appropriation

size when the country is ignorant of the
way in which that debt has accumulated.
Our ideas Qike those Of many of the
peoples representatives, Of a govern

heads of that government, and particu-
larly the legislative branch Of it, should
ever work and preach s'etrenchment in
every department of it.
