THE DEBT QUESTION.
We are really at a loss to determine
the relative merits and demerits of the
various schemes to reduce the debt.
In pnblic as well as private affairs it if
a difficult thing to reduce indebtedness
in any just way except by paying.
We cannot see, tor instance, why
the owners of the Morton, Bliss bonde
should be required to submit to a re
duction of their claims for principal
and interest. Their bonds have jusl
been decided to be perfectly legal,
Why should they be willing to take lesi
than the face of their bonds?
The old bonds are in the same com
dition. The tax-payers conventior
admitted that about nine millions 01
the then existing debt was legally con routed
and thov Dledeed themselvef
..WW-, ? y * w
to favor payment.
The only class of bonds which seen
open to attack are the cooversior
bonds. Yet they have been validated
by the legislature and the supretni
court has decided that the validating
act was constitutional and binding or
the state.
Then, admitting that it would le t
good thing for bondholders and th<
state, if the debt could be reduced bj
a scaling process, in which the stab
would agree hereafter to pay interes
on a new bond, which should be ex
changed for the old bonds, what se
curity could the state give to bond
holders that the interest would not b<
again allowed to default and accumu
late, and that some future legislaturi
would go into the scaling business t<
relieve another financial pressue?
Then, this proposition to scale the
floating tfcbt is fraught with injustice
and inequality. Shall the salaries o
oar auditors, solicitors, judges, pro
feasors, etc., be scaled down as well at
the pay certificates and Parker's notes 1
If the state was like a private bankrupt,
with a lot of assets to divide
among creditors, the case would b?
different. But the state only offert
to change a large note for a small one,
? ??? ot tho bo ma ti ma no mort
K'""6 ?? ?
security for the payment of the one
than the holder already has for the
other.
Then the proposed issue of bills
receivable adds another feature. We
dont think much of the argument of
the Union-Herald man, that they of
ford relief to the laboring man. lie
will see mighty few of them. But the
holders of state paper will be benefitted.
They will get something they can
realise on and so it will be popular
with many?not all radicals either.
TIIE CHICAGO RAILROAD COVENHON.
Ou the lOlli inst., a large number oi
delegates met in convention in Chicago,
for the purpose of aiding in the instruction
of an air-liue railway from Chicago,
to the South Atlantic at Port Royal.
There were delegates from Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Keutueky, Tennessee, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina.
The first day was spent in general dis
cussiou of the necessity for a more direct
communication with the South and especially
the need of a South Atlantic out
let for the produce of the West.
The advantages of a shipping route for
graiu, opeu at all season^of the year,
and one that would stive 2o0 miles of mi"way
travel between the granaries of the
West and deep water tn the Atlan'i
^ ' ' I 1 .L. It'
Ucean, were pointed oui oy me ?i esiern
delegates:
On the second day of the convention
resolutions were adopted setting furih
the necessity ot a grand trunk railroad
from Chicago to Augusta, Ga., and
thence to Port Royal, Charleston and
Savannah by completed routes to the
ocean with such branches as are necessary
to supply the plan.iug States, and plcdg
ing delegates to the convention to use
their efforts to rganize and secure sucli
charters and such connections with road>
as arc necessary to facilitate the success
of the enterpri-e, and also endeavor to
% procure nWru the line of the road sucl:
subscrii tions and other aid as may assi>i
the enterprise and satisfy capitalist
abroad that those immediately interested
had full faith in the success of the work,
and of its fluancial proSts on investment.
After a long discussion of the various
routes proposed by Southern delegates,
it was finally agreed to leave the qucstior
to be determined by the engineers and
surveyors to be employed, to select th(
most feasible line.
?The thirteenth grand annual fair ol
the North Carolina Agricultural Society,
was held last week; the exhibition oj
animals; tho buildings, and tho new
grounds, excelled any others in the 9outb
I?- The city council of Savannah have
agreed to contribute ten thousand dollar?
toward the capital stock of the Savannah
ocean steam navigation carnpany. Will
Beaufort do anything toward welcoming
Otr Lfnc of European Steamers. r
We most be ready to give a hearty 1
welcome to the Mississippi and Nathmtte, \
of the Dominion line, on the occasion of 1
their first visit to the p >rt rf Port Royal. *
Savannah has had a missionary on the (
field making converts to Direct Trade 1
[ for months past. He has preached to {
various boards of trade in the interior 1
asking pledges from his hearers to
1 patronize a line of steamers from his city
to Enrope. While his efforts will be (
futile in building up direct trade from '
, that river city to Europe they will result 1
in good by directing attention to subject 1
of importation and exportation from k
South Atlantic port.
[ Meantime Mr. D. F. Appleton, the
principal owner and capitalist of the
Port Royal railroad, with an inteligent
confidence in our facilities, for foreign
commerce, has visited Liverpool and 1
London for the purpose of attracting the ;
attention of English ship-owners to our
natural and acquired advantages. His
' energy, confidence and ability have resulted
in establishing a line of steamers 1
from this port to Liverpool. When these
steamers arrive all that he can do has
been done. The rest remainis for our
own people. If the merchants of Augusta,
Atlanta, Macon, Memphis, St.
Louis and Louisville, will order their
I importation to be shipped to Port Royal
instead of New York the success of our
line would be assured. There is no
' dfficulty about outward freights. There
' will be plenty for the stcatuers to take
away. But to bo successful, they must
have something to bring here as a return
' cargo.
1 Lot those who have been talking about
direct trade, and deploring the suprema
* cy of New York, imitate the example of
Mr. Appleton, put a strong shoulder to
1 the wheel to aid this first venture.

j Columbia, S. C., Oct. 17.
r The near approach of the extra session
s of the legislature makes it lively in Co1
lumlia; members arc arriving in large
* numbers' in that general state of anxiety
" that renders it an ungenerous act to
make any further icference to it. It is,
5 however, an uncertain thing to speculate
" upon, as to where the "rhino" is to come
' from to relieve any one ; that it is ex>
pectcd iroui some source, there is no
room for doubt.
the debt question.
P The subject of relief for the bond-holders
of all denominations, which has engrossed
public attention, as well as that
, of the members and their friends, who
have it under special consideration.
What is best to do is a very knotty question.
That branch of it referring to the
Morton, Bliss, & Co. bonds, and the action
of the supreme court, is at the front,
1 but there arc many contingencies some
1 of which bid fair to prove extremely
! troublesome; among these latter, there
1 is none so important as the-what may be
called, kicking in the traces of an associ1
ate justice of the supreme court, regarding
the scheme to scale the debt, on the
groutid that the 83,549,000.?the original
issue, uud the accumulated throe
1 years interest, of the bonds embraced iu
the meshes of the Morton, Bliss, & Co.
suit, must be paid in full, it being under1
stood to be held that the decision in the
mandamus case answered every doubt ;
that could possibly arise in regard to the
bonds brought before the court. A scaling
bill has already been prepared by
one of the ablest lawyers in this state, '
and, it is evident every available means
will be used to put the bill through;
rooms for the friends of the bill, and the
usual hangers-on, are beii g arranged in
Parker's new block, near the state house,
which, by the way, has already been seta-ted
by several legislative officers and
subordinates for an abiding place. The
irivnrfr difficulty tobe surmounted by the
managers of the bill, is the lack of ready
money. It is conceded that Kimpton,
the cherubic, has the inside track. Past
experience in the promising business has
' caused increased caution, and a distrust
of the ability of some of the men most
prominent in managing the bill to com>
ply with the terms of any future agrec!
ment, they are now so anxious to enter
i into. For this rettso i there is a noticeable
hesitancy on the part of some people
i who might perhaps otherwise be advoi
catos of the measure. In short, it has
1 got out to the world, that any scrip that
1 might be issued for services to be renI
dcre', witli the understanding that it
! could bo converted into bonds, and there'
by made to realize, has not the strength
required. The margin on the bonds
s that have couic directly or indirectly uni
dor the control of Kimpton and his cos
horts, works in this instance a most se!
rious, if uot a fatal injury to the scalers,
i Then, there is another barnacle ati
taching itself to the foregoing pillar, in
the shape of a desire to first clear up the
; floating indebtedness, which, exclusive
1 of the II uc Ridge scrip, amount to a lit
i tie over $1,300,000, ?;">u0,0uu oenig id
old pay certificates. The general import
i of the conversation of members, is favor,
able to this last measure. It is quite
i natural that 'hey should favor it, for not
1 a few of them have carried the paper as
; loug as they can afford to. There are a
number of other reasons set forth why
the floating debt should be first attended
^ to; among them ouc that the same is, so
> to term it, a domestic debt, hold entirely
f in tho state, and that the settlement of
r it would, work a great benefit to all
1 classes. Another reason is, that there
would be a kind of clearing up of the uni
certainty now hanging about it, which
i would be advantageous to the bond-holders
in the end. The advocates of the
I policy of postponing any action on the
bouded debt, until the floating indebt
ing are contending with all their might
igainst any each move- All effort to iniorporale
into their biH, anj*thing lookng
to the payment of any amount save
hat held to be embraced in the supreme
?urt decision are crabbed iy repelled. It
ivas the report that a regular net endeav)r,
to do so, in the matter Of the loan
affected by the joint notes of the comptroller-general,,and
the president of the
bank of the state, (which amounts to
over 8400,000) nnder a de facto government,?-the
act of 1864?providing the
same, made a clean break between some
of the strongest of the advocates of the
payment of the two classes of debts above
referred to. ,
There arc other embryo bills, providing
for specific payments of a particular
kind of this floating debt, and, jealous of
their several merits, conflicts will arise;
also, the very fact that a high judicial
authority has created the impressiun,
that- the Morton. Bliss &Co., classes of
bonds cannot be subjected to the scaling
process, raises n question that will be no
easy matter to settle; that the foreign
bond-holders will go into the United
States Court, too, if the levy is ordered
on any particular class, there is no doubt
The bill, known as the "lost," will
probably be ratified and approved early
in the session, and should the Comptroller-General
be restrained thereby, from
making the levy required by the Supreme
Court decision, another resort to mandamus,
may be expected ; in such event,
the legisture will probably pass an act
definiug the duties of county treasurers,
and auditors, forbidding the levy or
collection of any such tax. At the best,
there are stormy times ahead.
The project of creating an office, to be
known as "Auditor-General" is receiving
favorable consideration in nearly
every quarter; the duties, will be tc
regulate the payments of the treasury.
The aspirant for the position is Mr. H.
Noah, who has become very familial
with such duties by long association witl
business affairs, and who is popular witl:
both branches of the General assembly
The question of pay for the extrr
session has been discussed, and it is the
opinion of legal gentlemen that sec. 23 o:

expression, about "played out."
Colonel Childs, the president of the Car
olina National Bank,'.having failed entirely
to raise the wind in New York, and
the action of English capitalists in advancing
for the removal of the wheat
crop, before touching cotton, having

cotton was king, no channel would be left
unnoticed, if there was the remotest
chance tor any improvement in the present
straightened finaucial condition.

The pot continues to boil in the South

would have the outside world believe the
institution was forever dead. Such i.?
not the case, judging from the number ol
young men who are matriculating It is,
however, under an entirely new regime :
the present trustees are inflexible, and
the university will either prove eminently
successful, or a disastrous failure; there
will be no half way business about it.

Mr. J, S. Murray, strongly ndvocatco
Rabun Gap as the propor place to cmic
through the mountains, thence to Port
Royal via Anderson, & C , and Augusta,
Ga.
Bv it the four great Cotton States oi
the South could be reached, and by none
other. Charleston could not be made a
granary. The climate was against it. Corn
would mould there? and flour would become
worthless while waiting shipment.
Augusta was the furthest point south
suitable for a grain depot. The sand
hills there are noted for their dry atmosphere
and grain and flour will keep as
well as at Chicago. /The
question now was not the mere
successful? Charleston could not be
made the metropolis of the South. It
has not the necessary harbor facilities.
Port Royal, on the other hand, had every
advantage. Its harbor was probably the
best on the entire Atlantic coast, and its
general situation was superior to that of
Charleston. Only recently a line of
steamers was put on which connects it
with Liverpool. He was authorized to
say that the people whom he represented
would build the road from Anderson
Court House to any designated point on
the coast. All they wanted was that
Chicago capitalists would bring the road
to them. The interests of the Northwest
and the South were almost identical.
The former was the producer, the
latter the consumer. The Rabun Gap
route was the only one that could be
made available to render the South at.y
service. If a route north of that was
selected by the convention, the people
whom he represented, when they became
aware of its action, would take immediate
steps to build the other line.
A. S. Ervin, of Georgia; Col^Wilson,
of Knoxville; T. L. Jones* of Kentucky
nnd others spoke in favor of the enterprise,
all favoring the Rabun Gap
route to Augusta and Port Royal.
T. B. Jeter, of South Carolina, was in
favor of the Cumberland Gap route.
The secretary of the convention reported
that four millions of dollars had peen
pledged to the enterprise.
After the adoption of resolutions and
the appointment of committees to make
surveys and procure charters the convention
adjourned to meet at the call of
the chairman.
