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. Tito Conquest of Cuba. The capture of the Virgiuius and the slaughter of her crew and passen- ! gcrs by the Spaniards has excited the anger of all parties in this country. The administration is reported to be ordering our naval vessels into commission and our S"uthtru Jorts to be put in fighting order. We hope t);is will not end in smoke. We waut to see (? n.

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 Is 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 ti Parker's Notes. it The passage of Hardy Solomon's bill id is a recognition of the validity of Par- v< ker's notes, and in addition it admits oi that they carry interest at the rate of one per cent, a month. His demand for in- bi terestand his success in getting it is a tl commentary upon Roman iii, 1 and 2. si '"what advantage theu hath the Jew? H or what profit is there of circumcision? cc Much v U':iv!'' R k4v" V*"V "-/ v< So Easy I tl Getting out of debt by refusing to pay, lo is just as easy as rolling off a log. The w only parallel to it, we know of, is that of si a merchant getting rich by marking up j w his goods fifty per cent! and it is just as j Si certain to result in success! d< 01 EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. b< 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 In n-gard to the conversion bonds be SV thinks a si. ilar decision could be ob- ^ I c> tained lor them. lie savu that there ex- js| ists no power to repudiate a bond of the vs state except upon a legal investigation l)l and the proof of its fraudulent character j'j in a ponrr. lie says he convinced one ()f 1 _ :u.composed pretty much of ju the sauie men as couiposc this one?that hi the conversion bonds were all light and he think- thai the sauie arguments would tj, convince this oue. th The decision of the federal supreme court on the bills of the bank of the state is entirely ignored. The excitement which it occasioned at first has entire!.;- ?!. died away, l'rohably some bill will be I brought tbrward soon soon, to govern the ^ ' action of state officials should attempts be made to compel their reception for wi taxes. >a (.Jenoral Robert Smalls made a speech t0 on Friday night, against the attempt to grab six bundled each for the extra svs- j,;i hoii. lie believed that having received i to six handled dollars each last spring they j could not legally demand any more for j this year's work. They will doubtless "th vote them, elves six dollars a day and tVt mileage for i lie extra session* The request of the county commission- ^ crs ol Beautort county tor the levy of an to extra mill tax beside the regular levy of*( in three mill- and the two niiii- lor the pay- , :,n incut of the county debt, is out likely to rtM be acceded to.

The ball of the South Carolina Club, lich took place on Thursday evening-, s an elegant as well as a delightful en- j taioruent, The attendance was not ge, but there was enough people prest to furnish about thirty couples for i floor, with the usual compliment of rail flowers''?enough, certainly for all ictical purposes. The attendance reprented persons from all parts of the tie. Dr. Thomas J. Moore, a brother iov of Senator John J Patterson, was rested here last uight on a charge of gery. Fillcbrowne, the chief clerk of unptroller Hoge, discounted in Sep-1? nf Mnnro'a endorsed LlJltti laoif a uvvg u? *-avw.v ... Patterson, amounting to ^*2,600. Patrson declares his signiturc a forgery, d Fillebrownc has had Moore arretted, d he is now in jail. 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, * ? * " l J- i?_l_ nig misleading Dim. nasri wurus iuiwcd, and Uauiilton asserted that he ould hold the member responsible outde the hall; JBowley retorted that he ould go now, and out they passed* 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 iost frequently referred to in private fires, appear to be the treasurers of hurlestou and Union counties. Tybke.

London, November 15. The Daily News says, editorially, on le annexation of Cuba: "The exertion of the Yirginus captives has virtually icided the fate of the island.'' Orher urual.< contain articles similar in tone, he Spanish loan has reached the lowest jure on the stock market. New Yoi:k, November 15.

Havana, November 10. The Y oz de Cuba says that a conspiracy is been discovered in Holquin and the irrounding jurisdiction for a rising niultaiicously with the binding of the irginius' expedition. The plot had tteusivc ramifications throughout the land, and was to have bccu carried into locution on the 1 t of November.

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 from the Visginius. have been executed, making 1J0 now known to be dead. The steamer seems to have had about 170 son's on board, all of whom, with the exception of 18, have been condemned to death. Of the 10 prisoners, oi Iv four or five have been set at liberty by the Court at Santiago de Cuba ; about 14 have been condemned to the chain-ganir. 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.

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 to the Liberal Republican .Senators, in order to stave off a reaction in favor of the Democratic organization.
