The Xew Way to pay Old Debts.
The house has passed a bill scaling
the undisputed bonds of the state down
to forty per cent, without counting
in the accrued interest for two years, and
entirely repudiating the conversion bonds
amounting to about six million of dollars.
The state press goes off into extacies
over this '"wiping out" of the state debt*
The conservatives are perfectly delighted
The republicans are jubilant.
But has anybody stopped to consider
whether there are any other parties to
be consulted ? Will the holders of the
unque-tioued bonds of the state be willing
to surrender tbeui for the new sealed
bonds. Wo think not. If the state
fni1r millions of greenbacks
irt'aouici U'?u iv?. ?
ready to buy the bonds for cash, he
uiight be able to retire mo^t of them at
forty ceuts on the dollar. But when he
has only another bond to offer the present
holders it is not likely that there
will be any rush to give one thousand
dollars for four hundred.
The ho'ders of the nnqnestioncd bonds
of South Carolina will keep them, secure
in the belief that sooner or later they
will be redeemed, principal and interest,
by a government which has some regard
lor the good name of the state. At any
rate tin- will k ?,??? their boudsuntil they
can treat with representatives of the
people in whose good faiih and stability
of purpose they can have confidence.
Again, does it ever occur to our rejoicing
friends that six millions of bom's
cannot be "wiped out" so completely by
un amendment to a bill? Have they not
had evidence of the vitality of other
claims against the state. Cannot the
present condition of the bills of the
Bank of the State tech, them how like a
.1 - .1-1 11,.,,.
^Nemesis debt loiiows me ucmui?
many times have they exulted over the
d ath and burial of the Blue Ridge scrip?
Who thinks that the day is now with us
when six millions will long remain out in
the cold?
We a.-k our friends of the state press '
to cut the foliowiue out and save it until
next year about this tiiuc:
This scaling Lusinoss is a job. It is
proposed and put through in order to i
avoid the amendment to the constitution
adopted at the last election forbidding
tbo increase of the state bonded debt
without submitting the question to the
people. Those who are engineering the
scheme have no faith in it as a means of
relief to the state, but acting upon the
assumption that they have reduced the
debt every claim against the state will
now be paid in bonds; new claims will be
created with a greater recklessnes than
ever, and one year from to-day a governor's
message will inform us that our
bonded debt is twenty millions and that
a floating debt is again pressing for payment.
The nnuue^tioncd bonds will not
have been exchanged; a favorable decision
will have been secured upon the
conversion bonds; the bills of the I'ank
of the State will still preseut themselves |
for payment; and what we shall do to1
be saved, will be as lively a question as
ever.

Retrenchment- ter
House bill No. 362, favorably report- lar
ed, makes the following appropria- en
tions: $150,000 for pay of members for th<
a three weeks extra session; $100,000 "y
for outstanding pay certi6cates of the prj
last session; $75,000 for the contingent res
funds of the two houses for the extra sts
session of three weeks; total $375,000,
and the treasurer is required to pay lai
these appropriations prior to the pay- an
ment of any other claims whatever. fUi
The senate bill No. 10, favorably re- Cc
ported appropriates $75,000 for tei
printing a report on immigration; by
$.'5,000 for printing the decisions of tei
the supreme court; $25,000 for print- an
ing blanks and books for ibe collection an
of the next taxes. These two bills
alone will take $500,000 out of the next
tax levy. In addition to these the tb
house passed Hardy Solomon's bill for tb
$125,000. Here are $625,000, without w
touching an item of the ordinary ex- hj
penses. We will need a levy of forty
mills at this rate. No one would dream a
that the state was in any financial dif- t},
ficulty. th

The Agricultnral Land Scrip. cc
Mr. Kimpton very satisfactorily proved
to a committee of the legislature, last tb
week, that he was not in any way re- ]a
sponsible for thelrssofthe agricultural bi
college bonds. He acte 1 under the ex- cr
press orders of the financial board, after
a great deal of hesitation, and only in cr- p;
dcr to save the state a very large amount bi
of bonds which would have been sacri- $
ficed if'some way was not found to re- at
lieve the broker who held them. It is tl
evident that the trustees were to blame te
iu the matter. al

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 16. ,u
Both houses adjourned on Friday un- g'
til Monday evening. It is thought that
the general assembly will adjourn sine U]
die*)n Thursday next, that is until the el
j 25th inst., when the regular session be- C
' gins.
The biil to raise supplies for the present
fiscal year was reported in the home.
It proposes a tax of sixteen mills?seven j
for state purposes, four for deficiencies,
two for schools, and three for the counties.
There is nothing said about interest
on the debt. Gold, silver and national
currency are declared receivable for "
taxes; no mention being made of the
bills of the bank of the state or certificates
of indebtedness, and yet the extra j,(
printing bill lor $225,000 provides for the la
issue of such certificates receivable for n<
taxes. ^
The bill to scale the undisputed bonded jn
debt down to forty per cent, of its face T
was passed by the house, amended so as fr
to entirely repudiate the conversion
bonds. If this biil should prove acceptable
to the bond holders our debt would tli
be reduced to less than five millious of ti<
d liars.
No effort was ? ade by any one to procure
the Dassace of this bill, and no oue fi,
opposed it. Kiuipton was here and freely
declared that lie did not care ten eeuts
what figures his bonds wore sealed to, as
% Cl!
none of theui would be surrendered at js
less than their lace?in bonds. If South in
Carolina wanted to discount her bonds d;
for ca. h, he was ready to sell out at a
reasonable figure, but as no bonds could j,,
be issued which would be superior to his pi
?they having been rendered bouib- a
proof by the supreme court decisiou?he
was indifferent as to the actiou of the ),.
of the legislature. mi

Nov. 16.
The gala week closed last night with
e horse racing improvised for the day;
e fair closed Friday when the preiums
were distributed. The hard tiinea
id the effect of reducing the number of
sitors this year; on Thursday there was
good attendance, but only for the day,
ie cars being loaded to excess with
iOse returning the next morning. As
usually the case, the racing was the
ntre of attraction.
In consequence of the fair festivities
le'grcater part of the work of the legisture
has been done after dark. The
11 making appropriation for printing
eated an exciting debate, but has sailed
fely through the senate. The bill to
ly the claims of the South Carolina
ink and trust company amounting to
123,000 was fought by the democrats,
id several ol the other side, including
ie Charleston delegation, who con^tiited
a force sufficiently strong, in- the
ssence of two senators, to bring quesons
to a tie vote, on two occasions on
s second reading; this forced the proslent
of the senate to give the diciding
>tc, which ne did in favor of tbc friends
f the measure.
Debates have occasionally assumed a
;ligerent form in the lower house, and
ie equilibrium of members became so
laken that they forgot themselves. Mr.
lamilton accu-cd the chairman of the
immittce on ways and means (Mr.
ovley) of having signed a report in faar
of and then voting against the bill,

omething of a rush was made to the
or, and the speaker Gually obtained
dor. The two gentlemen soon returned
taring no visible marks of personal iuirv.
There is at present a good deal of
cowling among members because tbc
jvcrnor has held back certain of bis upointments
from the senate. Those

London, November 17.
Die Times, in a leading editorial, says
the Virginius affair had occured duri
the ascendancy of the Democratic
party, Cuba would doubtless have been
immediately annexed. It draws u con- .
trast between the conduct of the Spaniards
in Cuba and the lenient treatment
bv the American government of foreign
blockade runners during the rebellion.
If England is called upon oact in consequenc1
of the execution of ;iny of her
own su ject?, there is no reason why ,
she should not acknowledge the independence
of Cuba, especially if the
act would check such outrages. It
recommends the adoption of that Hue
of policy by the United States.
The Daily Telegraph contains an article
similar in tone to that of the Times. ;
Both journals concur in the opinion that
Spain is powerless to enforce reparation, 1
and that the United States mny possibly
lie compelled to intervene, though reluctant
to do so.
The Cleopatra, retu-.ning from Havana,
brought back the newspaper mails
the Spaniards having refused to allow
them to he landed.
There can be no doubt that at least
fifty-seven additional prisoners, raicen

exception of 18, have been condemned
to death. Of the 10 prisoners, oi Iv four
or five have been set at liberty by the

Political Items.
The majority for the democratic candidates
for state officers in New York is
about 12,000.
The democrats pained ten members of
the assembly in the recent New Jersey
election.
In Virginia Kemper, the conservative,
has a m;iiority of twenty-six thousand
over Hughes, republican. The conservatives
have ninty-one majority on joint
ballot in the legislature, which is to elect
a United States senator. R. M* T.
Hunter is a candidate.
In Massachusetts the republican
majority is reduced to 12,500. 'Gen. N.
P. Ranks was elected as an independent
republican to the state senate. There
are eleven democrats in the state senate
and sixty in the hOuse. The legislature
is believed to bo hostile to the enforeement
of the prohibitory liquor law.
In Maryiand the democratic majority
is 20,000, with a sixty majority iu joint
ballot in the legislature.
Ames, republican carries Mississippi
by 30,000 majority, with a majority in
the legislature of radicals.
The county returns from Illinois are
now in from all but six counties. The
farmers have carried 51 counties, the
Republicans 14, the 1'eurocrats 13, and
in 13 there were no party issues. The
total vote is now estimated at 350,000,
which is 150.000 more than in the corresponding
election of 1871. ?'he increase
iu votes is attributed to the greater
interest of the people iu the new
issues. '
' Official returns from 15 counties of j

for Treasurer, is undoubtedly el.-vt,

John II. Stevens, their candidate b.r
Secretary of State, may he elected. Such
hopes may possibly be realized, although
the present estimates elect S. P. Jenui*
son, Republican, by a small majority.
In Kansas the returns from SO districts
i show that 33 regular Republicans. 33
Farmers, and 9 Ind-'peudeut members
to the Legislature have been elected.
The other 20 districts will probably elect
15 Republicans and 5 Grangers. Onehalf
the Senate holds over, and the Republicans
have a majority in that body
of 26.
It is reported that the Administration
Senators will propose term-or peace

order to stave off a reaction in favor of

If you think of buying a Sewing Machine it will
pay you to examine the record* of those now in use
and profit by experience. The Wheeler &
Wilson Manrts alone a* the only Light
Hannlng Machine, using the Kotary
1 Hook, making a Lock St itcn, alike on both
1 sides of the fabric sewed. All shuttle machines
waste power In drawing the shuttle back after the
stitch Is formed, bringing double wean ami strain
' upon both machine and operator,- hence while other
machines rapidly wear out, the Whi rler & W IInoii
liiafa a lifetime, and proves an economical
Investment. Do not believe all that is promised by
the ' Cheap" machines, you should require proof that 1
years of use have t sted their value. Money once
thrown away caunot b recovered.
Send for our circulars. Machines sold on easy
terms, or monthly payment taken. Old machines ,
put In order or received in exchange.
