Carolina

WASHINGTON, November 22.-On the 14th
instant Treasurer Gilflllan, as custodian Of
the Indian trust fund, wrote to Gov Ha-
good, Of South Carolina, that under the act
OF Congress of June 10, 1876, he held
$l25 900 of the bonds of the State OF South
Carolina. The bonds are dated January 1,
1856, ard are of the denomination Of 81, 900,
with interest coupons. The interest is SIX
per cent, payable semi-annuallY. In his
letter Treasurer Gilfillan says: "The prin-
cipal of these bonds being due aud payable,
together with interest amounting to $l23,-
$50, IN all S24S. $50, have respectfully to
ask what provision your State has made for
their payment 2n
Treasurer Gilfllan to-day received reply
from the State Treasurer, saying that the
bonds OF the State held by the Treasurer,
together with other State issues, are en-
braced in the provisions of the act OF De-
cember, 1873, to reduce the volume o. pub
lie debt, etc, and OF subsequent acts, which
relate to the funding OF bonds aud stocks
OF the State in Consolidation bonds and
stocks, under the act of December "a 1880, to
extend the time for funding the questiona-
BILE debt of the State, the State capital
bonds of 1855 and all bonds issued prior to
January /, 1866, together with all their
unpaid coupons. which matured before Jan
uary l, 1880, are exchangable on the surren-
der thereof at this office for per cent. con-
solidated bonds or stock, bearing interest
from January 1, 1880, at the rate of so
per cent. of the face value of the bonds
so surrendered. No other provision
has been made by law either for the
payment or funding OF the principal
and interest of the bonds referred to by
Treasurer Gilillan The principal and in
terest OF these bonds, amounting to $24S,-
$50, are therefore only provided for by the
State ia the issuance OF consols to half that
amount, $l24 1875, bearing interest from
January l, 1880. The correspondence on
the subject has been referred to Secretary
Kirkwood, the trustee of the Indian fund.
