The Bill to create a Sterling Funded Debt, now before the General Assembly, is, in our opinion, ODS of the' most important meas? ures ever brought under tue consideration of J the law-makers of the State. It provides for- the borrowing of one million two hun? dred thousand pouids sterling, "to be used "exclusively-in exchange for, or inpayment "of, the existing public debt of the State." There are other provisions looking to a care? ful and honest application of the proceeds of the Sterling Funded Debt bonds; but the stipulation which strikes us most forcibly is contained in Section 8, which reads as fol? lows : SECTION 8. The honor and credit of this State is also hereby pledged to the holders of the debt authorized by this act, that this State will not hereaiter. until said debt ls'iully paid and discharged, create any new debt or obligation, or by the loan of Its credit, by guarantee, en? dorsement, or otherwise, except for the pur? poses or meeting its existing obligations, Or in and for the ordinary and current business of the State, without first ?'.bmitliug the ques? tion as to the creation of any such new debt, guarantee, endorsement or loan of its credit, to the people of this State, at a general State election, and, unless two-thirds o? the quail - fled voters of the State, voting on this ques? tion, shall be in ?avor of a further debt, guar? antee, endorsement or loan of its credit, none such shall be created or made. It is well known .that the State of South Carolina is fully able, with sound financial management, to meet the interest on the public debt, and, imtime, to pay oil' the principal. Yet the State credit i3 bad, and the bonds of South Caroliua have fallen to a price at which they give a return of ten per cent a year, in gold, upon the money act? ually invested. The amount of our debt, of which we have knowledge, is not excessive; the power of the people to meet their en? gagements is not in question. Alf this is frankly conceded by both brokers and per? manent investors. Why, then, is the State credit at so low an 'ebb? The answer is, that it is feared that the present Radical administration will so increase the debt, by extravagance and by lending the State credit to bankrupt corporations, that South Carolina might, before many years, become incapable of meeting ber engagements, however desirous the people were of keeping unsullied their financial reputation. Thi9 is the whole trouble. What we ne*ed, to establish the State credit upon a firm basis, is a binding and irrevocable agree? ment that the public debt shall not, in any way; be added to, or increased. We admit that the Sterling Funding Bill is not without a flaw. A large confidence, for instance, is-reposed in the Financial Agent who shall reside in London. But it ia indispensable to?the successful uegotiatlon of the loau that this Agent should be above suspicion, and this iodines' ua to.believe that the hew bouds will, as promised", be placed ic the bauds of a Banking firm whom this people, and* the general public, will cheerfully trust. And we are free to say that if the Bill were, in other respects, far more open to cavil than it is, we ehould support the Bill, uud urge Us passage, for the one reason that it closes the door upon all swindling loans and endorsements, and makes it impossible, without the formality of a two-thirds popular vote, to add. to the ' liabilities of the State. The eighth Section, being recited in the story of '-he Bonds, creates a contract with their holders which the courts ot the United States would unhesitatingly -sustain. It prohibits any .new debt, any loan of the State credit, until the existing debt is fully paid. We believe that the General Assembly Will do the State good service by passing, with promptness; the Sterling Funding BilU They should break up that Trojan Horse, the Greenville and Blue Ridge Consolidation Bill, and vote squarely- for the Sterling Bil), which is, in other terms, a measure to pro? hibit more debt and higher taxation. * * The Consolidation Juggle? The last state of the Greenville swindling Bill is worse than its first. This will be seen by a brief statement of the relations of the State to the Blue Ridge and the Green? ville and Columbia Railroads, and of the changes iu those relations sought to be ef? fected by the Consolidation Bill. L The State of South Carolina has en? dorsed bonds of the Greenville and Colum? bia Railroad Company amounting to $1,426, 545 80. To 3ecure the State against loss, the whole of the property of the company is mortgaged to the State. Taking into con? sideration the cost of the Greenville road, and its present earnings, it is unquestiona? ble that the State is amply secured by its mortgage upon the property and franchises of the company. 2. The State of South Carolina has guar? anteed the bonds of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company to the amount'of S4,000,O00, and holds, as security, a first mortgage upon the whole estate, property and funds of the coui .pany, now possessed or hereafter to be ac? quired. This was the best security that an incomplete railroad 'could give. There wa3 the further condition that three million of the Blue Ridge Bonds should not be disposed of for less than ' three millions in currency." This is, in a few words, the present condi? tion of affairs. The State having guaranteed $1,500,000 and $4,000,000, respectively, to the Greenville aud Blue Ridge roads, holds a first mortgage upon all the property of the companies to the extent of the respective guarantees. The Consolidation bill proposes to unite the two companies upon condition that the State (1) ratifies its endorsement of the Blue Ridge bonds, (2,) repeals the section of the act of 18G8, which requires the ?3,000,000 of bond3 to behold at par, and (3) postpones its first lien so that the State claim shall come in subsequent to all the mortgages and encumbrances now existiug. The effect of this arrangement would be": I. Upon the Greenville road the State would give up a complete security, in the shape of a mortgage, and take a subsequent mortgage of no real value. I 2. Upon the Blue -Ridge road the State would give up'all the security lt has, and get nothing in return. As soon as the Consolidation Bill passed, the.Greenville Ring, who are the Consolida? tors, under another name, would have at their command $4,000,000 of guaranteed bonus, which they might sell at any time and at any price. With the proceeds of these bonds they could get the Greenville Ring out of their financial troubles, and put the present Greenville road in order. In other words, the 84,000,000 would be laid out for the benefit of the Greenville Road and the Greenville liing, and not in com.' pleting the Blue Bvlge Road. This is too clear to need any demonstration. The Ring failed to get $2,000,000 on their own ac? count. They now turn round and ask for the $4,000,000 which belong to the Blue Ridge Road. We believe that Governor Scott i3 sincere? ly anxious to complete the Blue Ridge road, and we warn him that the road will never be built if all its means-these four million dollars-go into the possession, as threaten . ed, of the unscrupulous Greenville Ring. Governor Scott can pocket the Bill, if il should pass both Houses. The people ex? pect him to do his duty. ? The Forty-Second Congress. The Forty-second Congress meets to-day. The list of members to be used in the organ? izion of the House of Representatives is made up from the returns of ti>e elections already held, there being fourteen members yet to be elected, from four States, New Hampshire, Connecticut, California and Texas. Of the elections which have taken place, there is a dispute as to the person chosen in the Third District of Arkansas, and the Governor of that State refuses to grant a certificate. Excepting this District, there are ninety-six Democrats and one hun? dred and thirty-two Republicans to be sworn iu ou March 4th. From the four "Stales in which elections are yet to be held there* are four Democrats and ten Republicans iu the Forty-first Congress. In the Arkansas Dis? trict, -where a certificate has not been grant? ed, a Democrat'received the highest number of rotes, and it is, therefore, calculated that the Forty-second Congress will contain one hundred .and one Democrats and one hun? dred aud forty-two Republicans, excluding any probable gains ou either side in the spring elections. Under these circumstan? ces, the ruliug majority in the House will not exceed two-thirds of that body. TUE New York Bulletin, of Wednesday, speaks as follows of the proposed Sterling Fuuding loan: "Should the State of South '.Carolina succeed iu making the sterling '.loan of ?1,250,000 which it i3.now roport '.ed 06 attempting to negotiate in London, "it is claimed that the new bonds will make "a large advance in this market. The ?-b wj??c of the loan, it is- said; is to retire ..about $800,000 floating debt and to refund "the new bonds." 'Au Awkivaril Queitloii. ; TO THE EI>1T?R OF THE SEWS. vWe have observed, within a recent period, many references in your valuable paper to certain proposals to the State Legislature, from, parties whose names are not giveu, and whose relations to the Greenville and Colum? bia Railroad cannot be inferred. These propo? sals appear to vary to suit the necessities ol the hour. But they idl involve matters of the greatest importance to the stockholders of this road; and ic would seem to ?3 not only-onght to be warranted by special authority from the stockholders, but iu tact Inexcusable usurpa? tions of power without such warrant. Now, Mr. Editor, we . have nowhere seen that thc stockholders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad have at any tim", or in any manner, delegated to any mau or party of men to approach Ibu Legislature for pecuniary or other aid; aud you would really confer a favor ?pon us, if you have it in your power, to give us the information thus sought, and let us 1 know who the parties are t'nat.are thus usurp? ing a power only rightfully to 6e exercised by or through the stockholders. It would be idle, in this communication, to discuss the expediency oz' such undertakings as th03e wc complain of. But It ls not out of place to observe that nothing can be more ab? surd than to increase the already too heavy debt of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, as a means of improving the Interest of the 'Ring" or the individual stockholders. Intel? ligence, energy, and the strictest economy may, in a few years, retrieve this property; but thOBe resorts, which now seem so popular, must-bopelessly crush lt. MANT STOCKHOLDERS. itlarrie?.
