The Charleston Aero saya.:
lt is no exaggeration to say tba
dor two Acts plainly intended to ai
ize an issue ol $2.000,000 of bonds
Scott and his colleagues way hare i
all thc twenty or thirty millions '
are 5aid to have been printed. 1
vas, indeed, no other limit to the
than such as might be fonod i
"honor and integrity" of the fin;
officers of the State. What t
worth the people know toe "eil.
can see for themselves that the fini
prospect grows darker and darker,
mast see that, to acknowledge, 01
claims of the character of those \
are attempted to be thrust upon I
would be to connive at fraud and
premium on successful knavery,
must see tbat there is only one cou
pursue, whatever the cost, viz : to r
to recognize, or pay, any claim whi
nut proved to be legal, and to sto
fcupp?es. To withhold the taxes
hold thc ring for at least two mont
the jaws of ruin.
The Charleston Courier says :
There is but one honest path whi
open before us. That path leads to j
perity, and is to be found in the re]
ation of those debts which Scott tn
administration have fraudulently
tracted. Governor Scott knows
?od he, therefore, wishes to pat of
evil day until bis term of office has
pin d. If be can collect money ei
he expects to postpone the whirl'
which must sweep away his corrupt
ministration, but, fortunately foi
people, he will uot be able to succec
his designs unless we should prove
to ourselves, and pay taxes to beapj
to unlawful purposes at the biddir
Governor Robert K. Scott. We 1
but warch and wait, refuse to pay t
until they can be properly and lej
collected, and repudiate the disho
debt, and the day will ujt be far dis
when the State, havine freed itself i
thc unlawful debt which Scott ba:
tempted to contract, will begin au?
career of prosperity, which will no
impeded by corrupt officials cage
sacrifice the commonwealth for their
personal gain.
Tito .Marion Crercent says :
What is to be dooe ? What cai
done ? Those are the questions we
to consider. And we have very 1:
time to think about it. Already the
gatherer's notice is out and the few
Jars which \ barren crop year has gi

0? to send more money to fill the pc
eta ofthe.se thipves who now conies
almost double the deli they repoi

entrust our money to those who have
creased our debt by millions, while t
iug ns four times the amount wc f
when our property was ten times ni
valuable than now. Will we do ii ?
our own part we arc ready for aoy m
sure which will relieve the people,
seems like madness to entrust wooej
the custody of those who, by confessi
are convicted of theft and fraud,
us ponder thc matter. There must I
way to defeat this monstrous wrooj.
The Yorkville Eiiyuirrr says :
THE PKOPER REMEDY.-We regre

State, and until, furthermore, satisf;
tory guarantees are .given that t
moneys of the people will, hereafter,

The wisdom of cither of these plan?
extremely doubtful. If Governor Seo

let them be brought to the bar of justi

officials are amenable to the people f
their acts, and thc people have it io thc
power to hold them to a stiict account
bili'y for thc faithful performance
their duties.
We have had thc temerity on form
occasions to advance the old fogy ai
somewhat obsolete doctrine that tw
wrongs do not make a right, and that
is better fur an outraged people to sec

Oar State Finance*.
The New York and Sooth Care
press, for some time' past, has tee
with statement and discussion ct
State finances. All at dace it seen
hare been discovered that the S
debt, burdensome arid ruinous as it
shown to be at the Unie of the '
Pitvera' Convention, has now been
creased to enormous proportions,
snob an extent, in feet, that the Chat
ton- Courier, one of the mos', tempe
and well-balanced papers of the State <
ont for repudiation, whilst the Al
o? the same city, advises that the ti
be withheld, and the Winosboro' "i\
suggests that publie meetings be oa
io each count? of the State to cons
tie alarming state of affairs, and th
State Convention be hell. And
t^ain the Fhamiz urges that we "g<

" explanation for the past, and aeou
for the future," citing, in fortifica'
of this position, the eiample of Ja
Barnard of New York, who interpo
the power of the law tc> overthrow
Tammany thieves.
There seems to be but little^ d(
that a wholesale swindle upon the S
has recently been added to the he
peculations of the past. That there
been large increase of bonds. Scott I
self vaguely admits, and, in fact,
extraordinary tumble of South Caro
securities io Wall Street, fully pro
That ibis increase, too; bas been.m
io fraud, there seems to be as li
doubt. Of its actual amount tl
seems to be some doubt-810,000
being now stated as the minimum
?30,000,000 the maximum of the S
debt.
The remedies above cited seem al!
be plausible and practicable enough,
that such suggestion should appear
the public prints ai' a time like Ibis
natural enough, but we fe?l that it rr.
ters but little to the honest portion
the people of the State whether
S ate debt at this time be ten or
hundred millions, and that about
bost thing we can do is to lettie mad
run. Experience for two or three yt

DEAR SIR: Your note of yesterday,
calling my attention to tbe deaial of the
pri>tu?.?* made by Governor Scott to the
late Tax-Payers' Convention, "in refer
enoe to the postpounient of thc payment
ot th? laxes of thc State," and asking
tue ' to sive the publie my reply to said
deo "tal," has been received.
My recollection et that promise is as
follows, and if the notes of the steno?
grapher present at the interview are pre
served, I think they will bear me
o, i :
Upon it being represented to Gov. Scott
by the committee, that it would be a
great hardship upon the people to pay
two levies in on? year, especially when
farming operations had been so disas?
trous the preceding year, he promised
to postpone the enforcement of penalty
for uou-paytueut uutsl the ls' of next
March j that he would have the tax
books opeo, and io th? meantime, if
auy tux payers felt disposed to pay their
taxes, they might have the opportunity
to do so.
The promise not to enforce the penalty
for noo-paytuent until the 1st of March
was clear, reiterated, conclusive and un?
mistakable.
Governor Scott, io assigning a reason
for a change of the time of collection to
November, did say that prominent gen ?
tlemen in th? State had recommended a
change to the fall of tim year, aa a more
convenient season for persons in some
portions cf the Stat? to pay their taxes ;
bat this had nothing whatever to do
with his promise to postpone the penalty,
which was complete ead unqualified.
Such, at least, are ay 1 eco I lections
of "the promise" ind the interview.
Very respectfully, your obedient ser-j
vaut.
