During SCOTS administration, the Great
Seal of South Carolina was taken to New
York, in defiance of law and decency, and
employed, at the instance of Chamberlain
and Kimpton, and in the presence of a some
what notorious woman of the stage, for the
purpose of making fraudulent issue of con-
version bonds. The story Of this transac-
ton has long been whispered in this State.
G. G. Bowen, of Charleston, once referred to
it openly III a speech in the Legislature,
when that body was considering the pro-
posed Impeachment of Gov. Scott. BY the
few who knew the inside history of the bond
swindles, the name of Miss Pauline Mark
ham has now and then been mentioned in
connection with South Carolina finances.
The character of the services which she rem
dered to the ring was brought out by the
testimony of several witnesses before the
investigating committee. Tho whole story is
now, for the first time, made public.
Scott was VIGOROUSLY susceptible to femi-
nine influences. How the ring robbers availed
themselves of this falling to extend their
swindling operations and increase their loot
has been told before the committee. It
should be added that while the name of Miss
Markham was freely used i'll some of the
testimony, it forms no part of the official
record which will constitute their report to
the Legislature, if that report is ever allowed
to be made. From motives of personal COM
passion the investigators are disposed to
cover up a part of Scott's shame-so far, at
least, as to suppress the name of the woman
with whom he was bought.
The conspirators artfully took advantage
of Scott's notorious weakness. On one of
his visits in their company to a certain thea
tire he was taken behind the scenes and intro
duced to Miss Pauline Markham, who speed
lily acquired great influence over tho Gov
ernor. This lady had been instructed what
part to play when in Scott's company, and
had even been promised percentage on the
number Of bonds she should prevail on him
to issue.
Her instructions were ably carried out. The
very night of his first visit to Miss Markham,
Scott requested Chamberlain to write to
Cardoza and order him, in the Governors
name, to take to New York the great seal of
the State. Scott swears before the committee
that Chamberlain did as he was requested.
Cardoza went North, taking the seal with
him. A day or two later, in one of the
rooms of the st. James hotel, and in the
presence of Chamberlain and Kimpton, Niles
G. Parker signed, and Cardoza sealed, fresh
issue of fraudulent conversion bonds. These
bonds were then taken into another room,
and after they had received the signature of
the Governor of South Carolina, they were
assorted and neatly arranged in piles by the
hands of Miss Pauline Markham, the
burlesuua actress

That was very iudicIOus and carefully
Guarded remark of the Hon. Alexander II.
Stelhcps reportcd in our Washington dispatches
Yesterday, that "if the platform for 1850 is
.carefnlly drawn and good men are nominated
he could " see no reason why the Democracy
"cannot win" 1t brings forcibly To mind the
remark made by the late Senator Wade, III
reply to the statement concerning one oi
the stations on the Pacific road that
it only needed supply of water
and little good society to make 1t a desirable
residence. "Yes,n said the blunt old gentle
man, that's all that H needs"
carefully drawn platform and good
nominations would indeed make n pow
erful combination. But couldn't Mr.. Ste
phens be little more specific as to
the one, anu little more definite
as TO the other. What is in Mr.
Stephens's opinion " carefully drawn
"platform," and who would be the candi-
dates to make a strong ticket? In an inter
view of the Same date with the one IN which
this remark occurred, lie is reported to have

rise up at once as the colored congregation
did when the minister preached from the
text Thou shalt not steal" and say, Look
"here. this is getting personal" 1t wouldn't
do at all.
The only " carefully drawn " "platform which
would give the Democratic party any

as if to emphasize the imbecility OF the police dd
it several tlmes-did it every morning, IN fact'
for several days. And all this while the IN
efficient authorities were standing around declar-
ing that they couldn't find any body and couldn't

enterprising contemporaries actually secured the

here this splendid record ended Instead OF handml
their prisoners to the police. as they should
have done, our enterprlsng contemporaries released
them very quietly; seemed, indeed, to be glad to
get rid of them and even neglected TO take ball.
This is dangerous precedent. But the most con-
spcuous fact of the whole business has been the
blindness of THE TRIBUNE IN refusing to see those

c4N MR.. TjLDEN RECOVERf

The opinion that Mr.. Tilden may yet be-
come person of some Importance IN polltlcs
is still urged by some hard-mOney Democrats
of the East. So drowning men ever eaten at
straws. When Mr. Tildcn introduces his
nephew and private secretary to an angry
public. and commands him to make a
clean breast of it, and cuts Mr.. MarDle'
and Mr.. Weed. and all the other cOparceners,
then there may be some sense IN the
ouestiOn whether there is life i'll Mr. 1Ilden
vet So long as he continues to recognize
Marble, Weed, Coyle, WOoley, and the rest
of his former agents, he offers the strongest
proof possible that they have in no way
abused his confidence. SO long as he
hides Mr.. PcltOn under the British flag, he
gives the strongest possible proof that be
has placed himself in the power OF
w. II. Pelton by transactions which he does not
dare to have PeltOn questioned about under
oath. Every day that passes, moreover, with
ont step on the part of Mr.. Tilden to break
this chain Of proof against himself, intcnsiiics
the conviction already produced that he can
no longer face the world as any honest and
innocent man would wish to do. But Mr. Tilden
does not demand investigation because he
cannot face the facts.
So long as he Is in that position, Mr.. Tilden
is the one man whom the worst foe of the
Democratic party might long to have it nom
mate. With all the marvellous capacity OF
that party for laundering, it cannot be ex-
pectcd to do thing 80 suicidal as
that. Republicans may as well be warned
that they are not to have Mr.. Tilden's corpse
started in the Presidential race in 1850 by
the Democratic party. Neither can they cal
culate upon the Identification of that party
with NJ. Tildcns friends at the East. They
will have to confront IN all probability,
desperate struggle of repudlatols at the
West, and the contest may be close one.
But it would not he close in Ncw-Gork
if Mr. Tildcn should be cxhumed to run aGan.

TRAINING SCHOOLS FOR ASSASSINS

The pastry cook makes as awkward an
assassin as the tinker, the doctor of philoso
ply or the cooper. Whether old. like William
of Germany, or young, like Alfonso of Spain,
or Humbert of Italy, kings are difficult game to
bring down on the wing. Even when riddled
with small shot as was the aged monarch of
the Fatherland, they will not die, and
when they are merely scratched in the
arm, as is the King of Italy, they draw
their swords and deliver their assailants INTO
the hands of the police, and straightway into
those of the executiOner. The dagger, which
has proved so effective at the headquarters of
the secret police in Russia, is as poor
tool as revolver or gun when directed
against a king Yet is it strange that in
this year of grace, which marks transition
stage from an Old Europe to New Europe,
tho flashing of medieval dagger should
be seen in Naples. This has been an

bly, small proportion of the whole number ol
passengers carried, and that this proportion Is
smaller than IN any other country. NO uOupI
it will surprise those who have large ana
vague notions of the destruction OF lie by
steamboat disasters during the past year, to learn
that of 200, 900 900 passengers carried the
total number killed by accidents OI all kinds

onlv 212. the total number killed by explosion
being but thirtv-three. But 900 lives placed
alongside of 200, 900, 600, and 200 lives con-
sidered by themselves alone, assume very dit
ferent degrees of importance. That 212 lives
were too many to lose Is sufficiently proved
by the fact that the Adelphi and Magenta eX-
plosions, at least might have been prevented
by faithful inspection. 1t IS gratifying to be
told that steamboat travel here ls safer
than in other countries, but it must be made
safer still. The room for Improvement, the
existence of which Mr.. DumOnt admits, should
be filed up as soon as possible
