Govern Scott and Treasurer Parker, admit their publ she I card that .$20,204,000 bonds have been printed, but state th Home $9,000,000 of these bonds ha' never been signed or issued?in oth -words they admit an issue of $ll,2fr 000 of bonds, which together with 540,000 of registered stock, admitted be issued, apaount^to $13,744,000. ? according to Governor Scott's estlma of the publio debt given in his letter September last to Senator Scott of tl Ku-Klux Committee that debt amoun only to some $9,000,000, What the n ceasity then of this over-issue of $4,00( tKW of bonds and stock ? The who matter needs explanation?a thorouj exhibit of our financial condition something more explicit than the vagi and unsatisfactory statements of tl published card. In the meantime \ commend to the parusal of our read<; the following analysis of the facta e; hibited. from a wyll-considcred artic of the Baltimore Sun: On tho 1st of October, 1867, as per paj 3 of Comptroller-General Neagle's r port of May 1, 1871, the State debt wi $5,407,213.;3. In his letter of Septer ber 20, 1871, to Senator Scott, of tl Congressional Ku Klux Committe Oov. Scott gave tbo total issu* of bom and stocks, old and new, as $9,528,504.1 and the contingent liabilities of tl State arising from the endorsement i railroad bonds as $6,612,908.20, making total debt of $16,241,172.30? thus: Actui $0,528,564.10; contingent, $6,713,608.20total,$16,241,172.30. On the 9th of th November this same Governor Scot his State Treasurer, Parker, and or Dennis, signing himself "Chairman < tho Committee on State Aocouuta," ce tlfy thus. "It is true that $2U,0-10,000 < bonds have been printed, of whit amount $9,000,000 have never bee aigned or issued, nor were they print* with the intention to inoroase tho Sta debt, but are in the po^ututiou of tl State authorities; also, $3,500,000 ate ling bonds have been printed, but m Issued, and $2,500,000 or registered stoc are now in the hand* of the Treasur< of the State, being ft balanuc of $q,04<j 000 issued. Tbo rctdcr will here see that thei liave boon printed 820,040,000 Stai bonds, 83,500,000 sterling bonds ar . $5,040,000 registered stock ; total $2ii 580,000. To explain this prep#r&tic of twenty-eight millions and a hn the certifiers add; "The Logislatu: from time to time passed several ac for the inane of bonds "to pay tho i debtodnoss of the State." Subsequen ly it passed an act for 'ho conversio of its securities. To provide for th' tho above amount in bonds was prii ted which has givon rise to man groundless misrepresentations an gross fabrications." Tho New Tor World thus analysos these statemon of the South Carolina manager* "Governor Scott gives the total Ism of bonds and stocks, old and new,: 89,523,546.10 ; in bis certificate of is vember 6, 1861, he ?aj*s there haT boon issued $11,040 000 in bonds an 82,540,000 in registered stock?a tot issue of bonds and stocks of 813,58( 000. In sixty .seven days, aocordin to his account, the issue^f South Ca olina securities bas swollen from $! 528,564.10 to $3,580,000?an incrcso < $4,051,435.90. Furthermore, ho saj in his certificate of November 6,187 that there have been printed $28,58C 000 iri bonds and stock to pay the 11 debtedness of the Stato and for tl conversion of its securities," But wh prepare 128,580,000 in .November I pay or convert a debt of $16,241,17 in September before ? It will bo seen that we oredit Go rnor Scott with tho whole debt 1 reports, contingent as woll as actui though these railroad endorsement if they eome back upon the State i all, will not come back before the several maturities, ranging from 187 to 1889. Till maturity and defan those railroad bonds do not bcconi an actual liability of the State, an as there can be no possiblo default b fore 1878, why print bonds to pay < convert them now ? Evidently 1 roast rulo this contingent liability < $6,712,608,20 out, and consider the a tual debt of $9,528,564,10 alon This being now owing, au issue < bonds to pay or fund it has a color < reason, but not soch an issue as Go ernor Scott 'acknowledged. Let t compare his statements: Debt, per letter, September 20. . 1871 $9,328,564.: Issued to pay same, per certlflcato, November 6, 1871...13,580,000,< Excess Issued 4,051,455.1 Debt per letter $9,528,504,; Pr.'nted to pay or convert aauie, per certificate 28,5SOtOOO,< Excess printed $19,051,435.1 These are remarkable exhibit*, bt ft till another romaina. On the 12th < 3Iay, 1871, Governor Scott stated to committee appointed to wait upon hii by the South Carolina Tax-payer Couvention, then in session in Colur bia, "that he had -signed no oth< bouds than those set forth in tho dol statement made by tho Comptrolh Goneral, (83,200,000,) and thore ha* bscn no fraudulent or illegal issues On the 6th of November, 1871, 1; certified in his card published in' tli World that "it is trno that $24,040,0C have been printed, of which amoui $9,000,000 have never been signed c ismied," which means that til,040,0C have been Rigned and issued, "an ?2;500,000 of registered stock are no ? - ni /* ?? k id tho lianas oi mo ireawurcr 01 in State, being a balance of $5,040,00 maed," which means (hat the res k Sw,65B9WgM|HL!ir...l iL.iL iJ . *9 $2,540,00 Ims boon paid out, Compnring thebo November Mlatements with - the ono in May, we find & third re* markublo exhibit, thus!

Yarions remedies have boon sug"" gcstedforthisfinancial embarrassment. A caucus of colored men in Colombia lately pledged themselves to repudiation of the entire debt, now and old? he tho Charleston Courier urges a ropudiation of the debt fraudulently con-j ln tracted?the Charleston Item recomj8, monds a non-paymont of the taxes ug until a satisfactory exhibit is made ds and new pledges are givon. The first ir" proposition is not to bo entertained a moment?and the others arc attended of with all the difficulties which attend revolutionary remedies. Tho Columve bia Phoenix recommends an appeal to er tho courts, to Btay the hand of the l'" Legislature. This we think would be something beyond tho powers of the Judicial department of the Govern,(C mcnt. The courts may construo Acts of of the Legislature and pronounce i?e them void, or they may punish corrupt lts officials, but they have no power to *" epjoin the action of a coordinate de,2* partment of the Stato Government, jh Our truo remedy, we think, is in foe ? courts, but it is a remedy sololy against J? corrupt officials. It is a rcmedj* which 10 promises to provo potent against cor^ ruption in New York city, and we t. trust might bo equally affoctive in le South Carolina, It is worth Iho trial.

HYMENEAL Tbo Junior had tbo pleasure of ft trip to Greenville last week to attend tho marriage ceremony of Mr. W. J.

Tn* Late Elections.?On Tuesday, tho 7th inst., clcctiona wero held in Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mississippi, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, Virginia and Mary lnnd. The Radical* earned all except New Jersey, Virginia and Maryland, and in New Jersey thoy elected a majority of the Legislature, the Democrats electing the Governor only. Tho Democratic defeat in Xew York id a. heavy blow to tho party. It was duo, bej*ond a doubt, to the rcccnt exposure of the irnmoni?o frauds and stealings of the Tan.many ring, which divided and demoralized the party. /JT We omitted in our last, to acknowledge the receipt of copious files of Northern papors for which wo arc indebted to Capt.

As long as lie had to deal with an enemy not superior to him in strategic ability, his elan and bruvour made him and his army successful. But the talent that was gaining victories for him in the campaign of 174*M9 agaitf^t ttyc Italians, and in 1845) against the Hungarian insurgents, was not able to cope with the brilliant military genius of Moltke, who, from the . first to the la*t, checkmated him in the t\U*tro-rrussian war of 18GG. The disa*trou# defeat of Sadowa threw Field : ] Marshal Benedek into retirement from!, active service and the galling memories i< of the seven weeks' war no doubt tended to cut short his days. When the secret history of thftt war will be brought to light, much of Iris misfortune will, no doubt be fouivi to have been caused through the intermeddling of the "Wiener KriegWHth" with his dispositions and through the insurbordination of some newly-lledged generals from the Parquet of the Court, favorites of the camarilla theu ruling, through the Kaiser, the Austrian Empire. Then, perhaps, morejustiee will he done to his < memory than was accorded by his eon- I temporaries. 11 No Court, as Usual.-?'The regular . jfall term of the Court of Common IMeas ] jaud General Sessions met on Monday ! last, Judge Melton present, aud udjouruled ut noon on Tuetsuay.

Judge Melton is to return to Edgefield ^ on the 27th instant, to try cases (equity business, Ac.,) which do not require the intervention of a jury. t Jn the meantime, the course of justice is deliberately stayed by these Radical County officials, and much delay, expense, confusion and distress must nee- # I essarily ensue.
