Tboro U a prodigioet array of figures and calculations, explaining matters as bast bo la ablo. Tbo Gorornor attempts to throw tbo eblef blame of tbo depreciation of Btato bonds apon that portion of tbo people of this State, tbo intelligent property holders aad their friends and defenders. He wonld make It appear that their faalt finding Is the tree eaase of money troubles, at least in the mJa Bnt when It is considered that the en Matured by the Governor are powerlets, aad that tha Governor and hia political mmciatM are all poworfal la tho State, and have tho oatire iaanaf?moBt of tho money and credit of tho State, tho bodhbm of tho charge will appear at once. If the State oBelala had only deelred all thlo time to take care of the in* tereat of tho people, and to cconomioe the ex* penaea of the State inatead of making million* for themselves, all the fault finding in the world would hare hurt hat little. Whan a en utterly deatltnte of money, and with very little character come here from distant States and (at all the offices by cheating the Mack population into their support, and at the end ? two or three years are found investing funds by the fifty thousands aad the hundred thou* aand dollars in houses and lands, and stocks^ away out of the State of South Carolina, and where these same officials are in the aggregate reported to be worth millions of dollars, wheref they ware not worth as many cents, on com* ing here, there seems to be some reason for saying that tha Governor is slightly mistaken In attributing the had lnck of the State Treasury to honest patriots, who had nq power to control anything, and who only hare exercised the poor privilege of complaining ot their treatment. We saw the gamn of plundering the State Treasury commenced early by our present rulers, where they hoodwinked the' Legsilature, we will not say bribed, to throw away at least one million of dollars by passing a law to give six per cent, gold paying bonds to take up the bills of the banx of the State, which was a corporation that bad no right to require the 8tate to redeem its bills, and no attempt to do so had been made or seriously thought of by the Legislature which preceded 8cott's Legislature. By looking at these figures of the Governor, we see one debt of twelve hundred and fifty thousand dollars, created on this account. Every body now knows that this measure was not thought of for the good of the State, or the honor of the State, but to give away the public money to a " ring." And so the issuing of bonds, and the printing of twenty-two million of dollars worth, oonfessedly nine millions-more than the law directed. What is it all fer? It requires neither tedious argument, nor much calculation, to show where the blame lies. The State debt has been manipulated and doctored, and the State officials havs turn* ed.ovcr bonds, pledged them, and got money. Somehow, so it is, they have managed to bring up the State debt from five or si* to fit teen million of dollars, according to the beat citimates tbat seem to be made, in the meantime, baring levied and handled some millions of taxes which aro all gone, and the Treasury empty. When we see a few millions sticking out of their pockets, and many thousands of dollars worth of stocks and real estate in New York and Ohio and elsewhere, purchased by some of them, coating five times their ralaries we bare no need of a search warrant to find out where the State money has gone, and how it is tbat the people must be burdened with taxes, and threatened with still heavier. Just Heaven ! is it not too mueh that seven hundred thousand people in South Carolina should have these fraudulent burdsns imposed upon themselves and posterity, to make rich a few such men as these officials ? And yet, they are the men, and our native people, white and black, must stand aside for them, and go and work and make money, and pay interest on their bonds. We are all made the bond-ser ants of these half dozen or dozen masters and their overseers. We do not believe that the people of this State, black or white, are (uiu| iu hmu iuu ium(, om ion mey win repudiate theie men and tbeie bond*. All the people hare to do hereafter, :* not to vote tor them, or rote taxes to pay their little bill*; they bare had their aalariea and ought to be satisfied with tunning the State finances for the preaent, and not desire to perpetuate these burdens for a generation to come, which would be the ease if the people are foolish enough to boulder the debts they loare behind them. It ia their debt, not the people's, for the peoplo bare got nothing for it. The United States Court---Ku Klux Trials. Judge Bond and Judge Brtan are both presiding in the United States Court at Columbia. The Court met on Monday. A question wet raised by District Attorney Cordin as to the jury haring been irregularly drawn. Hon Rktbrdt Johnson maintained that the objection was merely technical; Mr. Corbin insisted that it was material, and the Judges adjourned the Court to consider the question. lion.

On Wednesday night last this vicinity was visited by a light fall of snow, and on Thursday morning the air was quite cool and bracing. Daring the day the clouds gave unmistakable signs of giving as a repetition of the night before, and about three o'clock, P. M. snow began again to fall rapidly, in a short time covering the earth, and by night was several inches deep j the snow continuing to fall lightly until Friday morning when it ceased. From Friday noon until the following Monday the ground was covered with a very disagreeable mixture of ice, snow and mud, and *11 weye glad to hail bright weather once more. icitaroay *w aaoiis m ooja a aay m our riotera general)/ bring ua, tbe thermometer going down to 16* above aero, rendering orereoaU, abawla, Ac., completely in faabion oat of Hoot a, and biasing Urea at borne.

We HI (Orry to see thai Governor Scott plays the partisan polttieian In hi* mravage with great bitteraeve. lie even goes so far aa to r?|rtt his own eouosela in favor of minority repraaentation, oa account of the hatred ha bears to the white people of this Stale who have unfortunately, aahi something ugly at ont the woety matters in which he la concerned. The Governor quotes ?n?r tain things from a few newspapers, ta which some rough language la us?d towards his party, and therefore he feels justified in withholding simple justice from all the men, women and children and their posterity in Ibis Slate. who are nul ?f ? - I - ?r-1 "J The IodUn savages ?how just the same political wisdom. If one drunken white man ahould flight and kill one drunken Indian, the Indiana make war on all the white raee of the United States. So Governor Scott would droj the entire minority of the StatS( the whole white population in many countiee, of all repreaeotatioo or ehanee of appearing in the Legielutur* at all; juet beeauae the editor of the Charleston jVVtee or ol the Kewberry Herald got mad and aaiJ eotne raeh tilings; or because nme rowdy in Spartanburg or York whipped somebody elae. The people of Charleston, Columbia and all the people who are in minorities in every county in the State, whatever their characters, er merits, or claim* to have a little part to do In governing ''lemeelves ; those all must suffer eternal exclusion from the Legislature, and humbly submit to his bonds, hand-cuffed, and soul cuffed if he could. The long and the shoit of this is all easily seen. Men who grow suddenly rich in oflce, and as suddenly biing the Stato to bankruptcy "do not wish to see any minority in the Legislature, whom they think neither humbuggery er bribery will silence into the support of their Utile scheme* of bonds, and financial agencies, etc. Now it seems to us the Governor will be disappointed in his desTe of kindling up such a party feeling an-ij smoke as to smother all attempts to look into bis bonds and his cere of the public treasury. We hardly think any member.of the Republican party, who nas any lionest purpose for being a Republican, will be fool enough to belive that there is any party g?ln or advantage in upholding tha-1 plunderers of the pnbl<? treasury, and imposing of millions of debt on the peoples back. No I Republicans ;in this State and all over the United Stales, abhor such conduct and cell on Republicans here and everywhere not to sustain any man guilty of it. The Governor insults his own party by supposing they will make fraud a party question. Balesday Monday laat was Salcsdny in Greenville.

It was found that the whole of tho scaffolding used by Mr. Carpcn- 1 ter, the contractor for the plaster work, had giren way whilst work was going on with tho ce ling over the court room. Mr. Carpenter wot somewhat injured, and a young man hy name of Milton Qooplocb had threo ribs broken. The men were on the scaffolding when it fell, and it is a great wonder that no lives were lost. Some colored boys were underneath the framework when it started, but noticed it coming and flod into the jury room. Had they remained a second longer, they would have boon crushed to a jelly.

For the Greenville Enterprise. CuAnt.Esrox, 8. C., Nov. 28th, 1871. Editori Greenville Enterpriee?The Synod of South Carolina, met in Sumtcrville, on 15th ult., and was opened with a sermon by RevDr. Plumcr, the former Moderator. It was an able discourse. The Doctor is the most patriarchal man io appearance I ever saw ; you would take him for Noah, Abraham or Isaiah rsdicirsi. lie is so also iu character and life. There were from 80 to 90 members present, and a most ploasant^and harmonious mooting. The City of Charleston has been sorely afs flictcd. The sickness has been more general than reported, but not more fatal. 212yelto? fever deaths Is tho whole number. But then, tbero woro thrco fevers hero at onco?tho yellow fever, the malarial fever and tho broken bono fover?and wholo multitudes were sick, but few comparatively died. Tho physicians say that yellow fever is from animal putrefaction > tho malarial fever is from vegetable putrefaction ; and broken bone fever from cold. Tho treatment of each was verv different?Calo aaol for the first ; quinine for the second ; and lot drinks lor the third. It has been a torrii>lu blow to the City, amd it will bo long before t fully recovers. The new City Council Is very popular, aud 10 far have been very cautious and judicious n their course. It is thought the interest on he City debt will be paid in full in January, icxt, and the City stock has advanced in conicqucnce. The City is on the whole, progros five, and soon will be very prosperous. There s a new spirit among the people, and much sntcrpriso and industry, and the City and State are neither so far gone as politicians, fur fftcA, represent. There is a bright future for our people, they need encouragement. The climate, the soil, the capital, the intelligence and virtue of our people will yet solve the problem. Our troubles are temporary, our advantages permanent. We are like a sick man recovering from disease nervous, petulant and disheartened, but soon all will be changed. The churches hero arc all again opened and well attended. I preached on Sunday morning in Bethel Methodist Church, and nt night in Spring Street Methodist Church to large and attentive audiences. I hope to bo back on 8th December, and in my pulpit on 10th. Tho weather is warm and oppressive. Tho business is improving, and old Charleston, " the City by the sea" will, I hope, long live a blessing to the State. E. T. B. for toe gheiev1lle rrtrrprise.
