ID the Boase of Representatives, on Thursday last, the Commit te appointed under s resolution, to examine into the Slate finance:) submitted tba annexed report, which was read and referred. Will it b* heard from again ? We shall see. ^ To the House of Representatives : The committee appointed under thc re solution authorizing au investigation into the alleged over-issue of State bonds, have hud the same under consider* .atioo, and beg leave to submit the foi ? lowing report : The whole amount of thc bonded debt of the Slate, as shown by the re? port of the Comptroller General, on the 31st of October, 1868, was $5,407,306, ?7, exe! '.ive of what is known as the war debt. Tc thia ammount add the bonds issued to redeem the bills of the Bank of the State. 81,258,550, making the old debt $6,665,856.27. To this amount there was, daring the years 1869 and 1870, added $500.000 in bonds to redeem bills receivable, and $500,000 in bonds which had bees issued to p v interest on public debt, and had been sold bj the Financial Agent, malting the bonded debt of the State on the 31st of October, 1870, $7 665,856 27. There was also, at thc same time, in tho hands of the Financial Agent, $1,000,000 of hoods for ihe relief of the Treasury, $500.000 to pay interest on public debt and $700,000 Land Commission bDnds, making a grand total of $9,665.856 27, and showing that only $$,200,00 new bonds have been issued up to 31st Oeto ber, 1870, to wit : Bonds to redeem bills receivable $500,00; topsy interest on public debt $1.000.000; for relief of Treasury $1.000,000; Land Commission boef3a $700,000 ; total $8,200,000. According to the sworn statement of the State Treasurer, there are now signed and outstanding $9,514,000 of new State bonds. Deduct from this amount trie 83^0(7,000 ?hat were out oo the Ula r.f October, 1870," and we find that 80.314.000 have bren si^n^d and put upon thc market, which, in ?be opinion of your committee, is an over issue. This conclusion,, is arrived at"aft?r a c*re?rjt"?neesTi<:?t?onao"d clo?e scrutiny of the Acts under which it is claimed tbe authority was derived foi the issuing of said bond?. 1 First. Under au Act to authorize the loan tn redeem thc obligativa known as the bills receivable of the S'aieol South Cnrulina, approved August 26,1868. the Governor of the. Sta e was authorized to borrow, within twelve months' fruin the passage of the Act, a sum nut exceeding 8599,000, ?* ?..? much -thereof as he itii.'h; deem necessary to ;wicetu ?aru billi. Second. Under en A ot to authorise. tl?* State loau to rwy "utterest on tree public debt, approved August 26, 1868. the Governor vena authorized to borrow, within twelve months from the passage of th" Act, a s?tn not exceed;u+r SI. or as much thereof'a* he ntifb: deem'necessary, to pay the is'cr'-st on the public debt. T?*two Acs were arocuded by an Act, approved March 26. l-8i'9, extending the time therein limited, during which said bonds niitjht be negotiated, "to tweuty fear months from thc passage of the said Act," to wit: August 26, 1868. Third. Under an Act to authorize a ;oao for the relief of the Treasury, ao proved February 17, lfc6*,authority was given ?o borrow, within twelve mouths, $1.000,000, or as much thereof as twight be deemed necessary, for the relief of the Treasury of the State. The Act authorizing a loan for the re? lief'of the Tren-orv expired on thc 17th (.1 February, 1870, and the Act to authorize a loan to redeem the bills receivable, and to pay the interest ou the public debt, expired on the 26th day of Angas! of the same year; and ol thc 31st October, 1870, the Stat; Treasurer reports to the Comptroller Genera! that only $3.200,000 ut w bonds were outstanding; leading your commit fcc to the co:.elusion that the amount tUemrd nr.CKX&ary, according to the lau-; giiasc of the above Acts, had been ob tainui Ly thc issuing of that amount in bond?; and ii' said amounts had no) been negotiated up to that time, then no authority existed under tbe sun for the further issue ol State bonds This position, your committee think?, is proven by the passage of the Act amend in sr the 1 wo A et? approved August 26, 1868 ; for in iLose Acts the time originally tlUotCfd iu which lo negotiate tht amount reguireu was twelve months. A sufficient amount not having be- n ob? tain- d, it w:is deemed necessary to ap? ply to the Gerenil Assembly for an Act extruding the tone tweloe months long cr. Your committee thinks that the Act approved March 23, 1869, providing for the o m version of State securities Was not intended to be used for the purpose of increasing ?he State db, but solely for the object naturd in t li o ' Act - the c?>nvVrsion of some outstanding security tr!.?ch. ultra e-?uveited, shcu'd be re taint d iu th?i Treasury usa voucher lor the eOJiveMtOSJ bonds issued.

Tbe ?aw r^tffc l be Sure Tres?ur?r to report io t' e t'omjar^Her General, at tbe eau* of every mooth, tbe financial condition of the ?state ; and it iras in pursuance of th is? la w, your co ut m it tee preso wed that he made the report of tbe 31st October, 1870. filing the amount of new bonds theo oat at $3.200,000. The testimony of lr Comptroller General takeo try the ( imtntttee shows th?t although the .Treasurer has made a report to him at ?ho etrd of eeetj ruorrth since tbeabfre date, up to September, 1871; yet he hes failed in all these reports to give account of a further issae-olbooda, and there is no information io the Comp? troller-General's offiee, according to his" sworn testimony, that the State debt has been increased. If other evidence is required of this over issue, it is eon fained in the testimony of his Excel l#n cy the Governor, who states that he has signed ind delivered to the State Treas? urer boa d' for the conversion of the $700,000 issued by the Land Commis? sion ; also, the $1.000.000 for the reliefJ of the Treasury ; and a large portion of j these to j.ay the interest on the public debt. Yet til, or nearly all, of said booda are ont as a portioL of the in? debtedness of the State. Your committee, having reported the facts and the law under which the bonds bave been issued, and feeling satisfied that the State has been defrauded by an over issue of $6,314,000 woulJjthere fore respectfully reocomroend that thi?| House take the neccessary steps to hold accountable those persons who haye vio* lated the law and ruined the credit of he State.
