HIS VIEWS ON OUR FINANCIAL AND GENERAL CONDITION. He Declares that the State Debt has been Grossly Exaggerated-Kimpion's Mo~ dus Operandi-The Whole Debt Less llutn Eight Millions- What he Says about thc Taxes- The People Paging Promptly-About the Sterling Loan Tlic Governors Virtuous Resolve-He Favors the May Convention -His Views on Politics, Reform and the Ku Klux-His Policy for the Future. [FROM THE CHARLESTON NEWS.] The presence ofVis Excellency, Gov? ernor Scott, in Charleston, enables us to present to our read .rs a semi-official resume of his views cn several subjects, by. which the public miud has of late been agitated, and concerning which his statements possess, at this time, a pccn> liar interest. The privilege of an inter? view with him was freely granted, and the interview itself was unconstrained. The language of his Excellency as given below, is almost verbatim, and the free? dom, with which it was spoken, indicates that all of the questions treated have been thoughtfully considered. After some general remarks, the conversation proceeded as follows : THE STATE DEBT. Q. Governor, you are fully aware, from the comments of the press, and the action of the Board of Trade and Cham? ber of Commerce of Charleston, that the people of the State are feverish with an excitement which has grown out of what they believe to be an oppressive taxa? tion, an enormous State debt, and a corrupt Legislature; please state frankly your own opinions upon these matters. The Governor. I am free to say that, in my judgment, the disturbed condi? tion of the public mind results from a misapprehension of our financial affairs. Either with a view to injure the credit j of the State or to achieve personal ob-1 jects-perhaps political iu character certain individuals have sought to make it app*"- bat the State debt has been lav/irf.0it ceased by tbe present adminis? tran?. e'p Such is not the fact, and I propose to show the why and wherefore. First, the act of the Legislature of 1368 authorized the funding of the bills of the Bank of the State into State bonds. That I do not regard as an increase of the di-bt, but merely as a change in the form of an old debt, the courts having decided that thc State was unquestiona? bly liable for these bills. So much, then, is not chargeable to this adminis? tration. Secondly, in thc reorganization of the government, it was ascertained that a large amount of past due interest and other claims bad accumulated and were unpaid. To meet these obligations the Legislature authorized the issue of a million of bonds. It will be seen, by reference to the law, how these bonds were to bc negotiated. Thirdly, a debt existed which had been created by the issue of bills receivable imroe^iittely after the war. They, too, had io be provided for, or rather, retired, and an additional issue ot five hundred thou? sand dollars worth of bonds was made tor this purpose. Fourthly, it was ascer? tained, dutiug the regular session of 1868-'09, that even with th's assistance, it was impossible, at the low price at which the bonds were selling, to meet the liabilities which existed-debts, by the way, that had not l een created by this administration. The issue of a million more of bonds was therefore, authorized, for the relief of the treasu? ry. The sum Jula! was then two million five hundred thousand dollars. "Finally, the act providing for thc {organization of the land commission called for seven hundred thousand dollars ntore of bonds, and thus the total issues, since 1868, amount to three million two hundred thousand dollars. Now, of these bonds, according to the last report of the finan? cial agent, at New York, about oae million of dollars have been placed upon the market, leaving a balance of twenty two hundred thousaud dollars in his hands. You will see from this state? ment that there is no foundation what ever for the rumors which have obtained currency ; atad can readily understand why, io consequence of those rumors our securities have been depressed, anc the credit of thc States seriously in? jured Q. Do I understand yea that Mr Kimpton, the financial agent, of tb? State, now has twenty-two hundrec thousand dollars in his haods ? The Governor. Ile has, unless he hat sold an amount since his last report. It raising njouey for the uses of the State however, his nv**;* operandi generali' haa been to hypothecate the bonds. RAILROAD SONDS. m Q. Ls not the State largely involve* on account of her endorsement of rail road bonds ? 'I he Governor. The aura total of th* enaorsemcbts of railroad bonds by tb? State is about six militons and a half o dollars, including the Blue Ridge K. B bonds, which have no' been put upon th market, and yo? must bear in miud tba these endorsements cover a period o nearly thirty years.

If such is the case, how c account for the dissatisfaction : murmurs of the people? The Governor With a proper standing of the subject-that is, into consideration the aggregate .three-.levies of tax irl.;..i made, thc p??plft would have oro complain. For instance, in lSoi was a levy of seven and a half n the dollar, which was collected ic in 1869, the levy was only five ti the dollar-an amouut which an who will sit down and figure up t solutely necessary expenses of th< Government will see is utterly qnate. Still, for political purpos Legislature was then induced to f percentage, and it perhaps had its ence on the campaign ; yet it vt enough. It was, therefore, necest increase the levy for the expei 1870. Taking the three years, ever, the aggregate is only twen mills and a half, which, equally : Tided, would not make the 1 greatly out of proportion as it ri present seem. It certainly forais! real ?aase for the complaiut o taxation. Q. Let me ask, in this conn why it was arranged to have two of tax collected in one year?. The Governor. That is not c< We are now collecting the tax for and by an amendment to the tax is proposed to commence coilectic 2871, on the loth day of Nov, next, the object being to bring th lection of a portion of thc taxes v the year in which they are levi The importance of making this, cl will be apparent to every thous mao. It is well known that a portion of the citizens of the Stat not pay taxes, and that they are ii videot in thc expenditure of mon Usually the product of their year's Justry comps to them during months of November and D?cerne Were the tax bock? then opened, my impresi?n that this class of p would pay their taxes, aud thus a the income ot the State, whereas, i time is postponed to the middle of uary or thc first of February, as hi to, as a general rule they would nothing. In short, I believe wc bc enabled by this change, to c two hundred thousand dollars, w under the former arrangement, not be collected at all. And I ca oo hardship that will be caused I change, for it leaves the priv the same as at present of deferrin; addition of a penalty for non-pay if it is thought expedient to de so. stead of oppressing the taxpayer, tl fore, it is in one sense a blessing t people, for it opens the door t<> i who have the means and are dis* to pay, during the fall, while it is at the discretion Of the Kxccutiv extend the time of the general tax[ who pays a largo amount, without jectiog him to the prescribed por ludeed, I am free to say that the payers may rest well assorred thcr< be no mote cause of complaint on score in the future than there has io the past; tor in every instance v to my recollection, where an app tioo has been made, t e time of co tion has been extended without thc ditton of the penalty. Q. While that is a comforting as ance, Governor, is it not Bcverih true that the assessments of values been greatly exaggerated, and that perty is, frequently faxed for twe three times its real worth ? The Governor. That may bo in some instances, but I am certain not the rule. In ail casses uf execs i assessment, where an appilcutiou been made, thc matter hus beru cor ered, and an abatement ordered, ?1' I circumstances justified such a cours I DO TUE PEOPLE PAY. j Q. Up to the present time, have taxes geueially beeu paid promptly The Goveruor. I most confess I have been surprised at the extrae j nary disposition manifested by the j j pie io the payment of their taxes. 1. at this moment, while there ta appar ly so much ill feeling concerning j expenditure of public moneys, cit: in all parts ot the State are meeting ' demands o: the tax collector wi: unanimity and promptt.ess which note deserves the highest praise, but fav bly illustrates their character, as a 1 abiding people. I cannot blame tl for desiring to know how the-*e ut<u are cxpeuded, and, so far as lies in s power, I ?hall always afford to . e public the information on this and ot f subjects to which it is entitled.
