THE British Government has in vari-
ous ways recently created large float
ing debt, stated at $115,000,0OO. This
debt has become too large TO repay out
of ordinary taxation, and it is proposed
to fund ii as an addition TO the perma-
nent British debt. The proposition is to
issue S125, ,000, 900 additional consols at 3
per cent, which, at the present market
rate Of 94a94k, would fully cover this
amount. The plan has not yet taken
legal form, but this prospective increase
in the British debt is discussed as among
the probabilities Of the near future
Ledger.

In but one month of these nine did the
deposits in al the other seventy-two
banks exceed those in the First National,
and that was one on the eve of the meet
lie more than a million and half Of
dollars. The capital of this pet bank is
100000. This enormous sum was de-
posted without interest, and in way TO
allow the bank a percentage on the
bonds ac ually sold or to give the bank
credit for the sale of bonds by nominal
deposit, when no coin at all passed into
the vaults. Or, as has been suggested,
bonds to the extent of the stated deposits
may be laid away in the safe Of the bank
and the interest thereon be drawn every

lin J. Moses was a legitimate represen-
tative of the wealth and Intelligence
which We are assured must inevitably
rule in the South; he was one OF the
native and BEST to whose exclusion
from public affairs all the misfpI'uEes OF
the South are supposed to be due. Aud
yet Moses was no carpet bagger, that de-
tested thing that dsturbs the peace of
the Democracy"
The Republican Is too late. II would
now clock the stable door" But the
horse is stolen. Or, in other words,
Moses has fed and so has Chamberlain.
Chamberlain dares not to go back to the
State he was Governor of. Why? Be-
cause he is guilty. And yet the Repub-
ucan now says he "was the best Cover
nor South Carolina ever had" So 1t de-
Tended Scott; so il defended Moses
several years ago, and said the charges
with VIII Ich they were accused were false.
Now, Chamberlain is the "best Cover
nor, the robber-ridden State sever had"
Better than Wade Hampton. To what
worse purpose can language be put I?
Look at the difference in the cost Of the
Legislatures run by Scott and Chamber
lain, and the Legislature under Governor
Hampton. We published the evidence Of
this scardalous and outrageous peculation
upon the people of South Carolina, the
other day, and that our readers might
not be required to take our word for 1t,
we called the attention of the Republican
TO the facts. We got them from an in
dependant Republican paper; and we
might reproduce the article embracing
the facts with regard to the cost of the
South Carolina Legislature under Cham
berlain and his previous compatriots in
crime, but will merely state them briefly.
The South Carolina Democrats have
now the control of the State and among
the reforms instituted, the cost Of the
Legislature may be referred TO in point
ain 1s70-71 the total expenses OF the
South Carolina Republican Legislature
were, in round numbers 1922 900; in
ls7l-72, 1888, 100 IN ls72-73, $eOs, 900 !;
in 1S7B-74, S922, 900. In 1877, under the
new Democratic regime. they were at
once reduced to $S4,096. Again, it is
worthy of note that since 1876, when
the republican administration was over
thrown, the attendance of colored chill
dren in the public schools Of the State
has increased nearly 1900 over the
number attending during the Republican
regime. To the unbiased mind it will
perhaps not be thought surprising in the
light of these facts, that there are not a
few negroes in South Carolina intelligent
enough TO vote with the Dem ocrats."
When such facts are presented we
candidly ask our readers If there is any
confidence to be placed in paper that
will dare to defend Chamberlain the
guilty Ex-Governor and denounce Hamp-
( ton, the present eminent and patriotic
citizen of his State who is almost idoliz
ed by its citizens without regard tc
party or color.

Silently but firmly they returned to

view. Maddened and infuriated at
the previous resistance, with one wild
shout they rushed forward. The
doors and windows were unhinged-
boards, shingles, covering, went flying
to and fro in every direction, while
the command "Root up trunk and
branch, demolish it," rangin startling
accents on the midnight air. When
the rosy fingers Of Aurora unlocked
the Golden Gates of the East, and
beams of light came pouring forth,
Fort Snow was wreck, razed and lev

And fragments far and wide -.::
Lay scatter'd, broken, on ev'ry side.

Is now thick, pine, leafy, wood,

Yet passers-by would never know,

night; was so reduced my friends thought
I wonld never recover; consulted doctor
at Columbus. I followed his advice; it did
no good. I can truly say was discouraged.
At this time I was looking over my news
tine, the "Great Blood.Purifier" for cleans
ing the blood from all impurities, curing
Humors, Ulcers, sc. I said to my family,
l will try some OF the Vegetine. Before
had used the first bottle began to feel bet
ter. made up my mind had got the right
medicine at last. I could nov sleep well at
nights. l continued taking the Vegetlne.
I took thirteen bottles. My health is good.
The Ulcer is gone, and am able to attend
to business. I paid about four hundred dol
lars for medicine and doctors before I
