THE SWINDLES OF THE RUG HYPOTHECATION OF $3,C00,000 OF\ STEELING BONDS. A Panic in Wall Street-Pawning the Sterling Bonds-A Charleston Carpet? Bagger Comes to Grief. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TBS NEW3 ] NEW YORK, November 10. There is a panic among the Wall street hold? ers of South Carolina bonds, and several fail? ures are reported. One Charleston carpet? bagger ls said to be ruined. Three million fl ve hundred thousand dollars of the Sterling Funding bonds have been hypothecated to save the holders of the ordi? nary new bonds and to keep the latter out of J the market. _ _ NTH. . MUTUAL ADMIRATION. The World Tickles th? Courier-How the Bondholders Feel. The New York World, in its issue of Wed? nesday, reiterates its statement that, accord? ing to Governor Scott's card, the total debt of this State Is $19,680,000, besides the contingent debt for railroad endorsements, amounting to ilG.000,000 more. It then says: This palpable expos? of the lrighttul increase ofthe&ate debt bas intensified the excite? ment, which the first publication of the frauds had engendered. The people or the State are waking op. and are already devising schemes to protect themselves from further thievery. The most feasible one is that of refusing to recognize as valid debt of the State any bonds whatsoever that have been Issued by the Scott administration. The Charleston Courier stJfkes the blow in this direction, as will be .JPh by the following telegraphic communica? tion, sent to a gentleman in this city yesterday morning: "CHARLESTON, S. C., November I. "The Charleston courier published this morn? ing a strong editorial recommending the people of the state to repudiate ali bonds the State has Issued under Governor Scott's administration, If reported frauds prove to be trae. The article gives general ?aUsfactlon.'' HOW THE BONDHOLDERS FEEL. . It WM long ago threatened by the taxpay? ers of the Slate to repudiate the debt In the event that the fearful Increase continued. Amongst the bondholders here the greatest excitement prevails, for of the honest ones not a man ol chem knows whether his bonds are of a leg.u issue or to the contrary, and even though classed with the valid bonds, they are yet tormented with doubt as to what action the people ot the State will take in the .premises. But as lt is charged that the con? spirators are the heaviest holders ot the bonds, lt would noteeem that they bad much to lose -nevertheless, the agony of being obstructed on their royal road to riches must be pecu? liarly poignant, the more so that they must have seen their anticipations so nearly accom? plished. ? TBE OTHER SIDE. Alt la Bad Knongh bat not as Bad aa you W Afhhe lt. f The Col s m bia Union, which is usually looked apon as the State organ, takes the World to task and accuses it of making a jmall mistake of $10,000,000 or BO. It says : Ve copy from the New York World, of the 7th, the following remarkable specimen of bookkeeping. In speaking .of South Carolina bonds, lt says : ?a Printed. i issued and on band. Bonds.$20,040,000 Not Isa. bonds. $9,000.000 Sterling bonds 3,600,000 sterling bonds. 3,600 ooo Regis, stock.. 5,o4o,oou Regis, stock... 2,500,000 Total.$28.580,000 Balance isa. ..$15,600,000 -adding to this the late war debt of $6 ooo ooo and the actual debt or the Sute is seen tobe $10,580,000, by their ow^statement aa reproduced Above. Besides this lslfApn nugent. liability tor railroad endorsements amkntlng to Sit ooo ooo more. * ' The foregoing purports to be a statement o? the amount ol bonds printed and Issued by the J>reMpt 8tate Government. It will be recol? ectes that the Governor and State Treasurer published a card In the New York papers a Jew days ago, contradicting the statement Jmbushed by this same Democratic financial OB mal, in which they plainly stated that 420.040,000 was the extent of the bonds print? ed. It will be observed by the statement which we quote from the World, that $8 540 OOO are added to tbs amount specified by the State officiais. The following is the correct state? ment as made by them : Bonds ?tinted.$20,040,000 Bonds not issued.$9,000,000 Sterling loan not Issued.3,600,000 Registered stock not Issued. .y,500,ooo --- $15,000,000 Leaving a balance of bonds issued of $5 040 ooo So much for lie number one. The World says the late ''war debt is $?,000 - 000." The books of the Treasury Department place lt at less than $2,500,000. Thus goes lie number two. Again it says there is a "contingent liability for railroad endorsement amounting to $16, 000.000 more." The books of the comptroller-general's office show railroad endorsements to the amount of $6,712,608 20 only, and thus goes ile number three. Three base fabrications in a paragraph of ten linea Surely Democratic venality can go fax enough in Its efforts to mislead public senti m?-Dt. If the Courier derives its informa? tion from the World, and wo are Inclined to think such Is the case, we are not surprised that lt should openly advocate repudiation. Hold your horses, gentlemen, the matter is doubtless bad enough, but not half so bad as you make lt to be. 3% TAKING THINGS QUIETLY. Vhe Situation Uncertain-Views of a Conservative Journal. The New York Journal of Commerce, in its of Wednesday, makes the following rer to an uneasy bondholder : A bondholder who writes us from the City Of Philadelphia, to Inquire about South Caro? lina State bonds which he bought at 60, ls in formed that we can give him no very definite Information concerning them. The new regime in that State have evidently manipulated these securities, and the popular Impression is that this was done for their own personal ad? vantage. Whether there has been any li? erai over-issue or not we cannot say, but there seems to have been a very large supply offered. Previous to the fire at Chicago con? siderable loans were effected here on these securities, and when the pressure was felt, which grew in part out of that calamity, the bonds were thrown upon the market The Stock Exchange, we believe, bas had in con? templation some investigation of the extent and character of these Issues, and it strikes vis that they cannot be too quick about it. At present the situation is uncertain, and we have no advice to give. If the State ever emerges from Federal control, and its responsible citi? zens are allowed to manage Its fiscal concerns and to emancipate themselves from the rule of carpet-baggers and their Ignorant, deluded followers, lt is probable that the credit ot the State will come to rest on a better basis than at present. AS OT HB BS SEE US. Going lt Blind -The Repudiation Boomerang. The Columbia Union of yesterday says : The Courier goes lt blind and sounds the toc? sin of repudiation at the very outset. In its issue ot yesterday lt berates the News and acenses lt ol whitewashing Ute alleged frauds, because that Journal did not fly off upon the same tangent, and proclaim repudiation at once, on the very questionable rumor publish? ed by that reliable (?) mathematical paper, the World. The Courier wants no better evidence of a large-over issue of bonds than that already furnished. We ask our readers to call to mind the language used by the Union last May. at the time the project of the Taxpayers' Convention was being agitated. We express? ed ourselves satisfied that the Intention of the Democratic party In this State was to repudi? ate all that portion of the debt for which bonds have been issued by the present State Gov? ernment. This was stoutly denied by the leading Democratic papers, and none were more out? spoken In denunciation of repudiation than the Courier. To-day It stands Just where we believed lt meant to stand last spring. It is only a part of a grand scheme to block the wheels of the State government. If there has been an over-issue of bonds, or an illegal In? crease of the State debt, there is a more honor? able method of remedying the evil than by wholesale repudiation of securities held by Innocent parties. Why not pursue that better course, and leave repudiation to gamblers who alone deal with such methods ot paying debts? Il repudiation must come, let us have no half-way work about lt. The financial world will hardly be able to understand the very nice discrimination between the old and the new bonds. South Carolina speculators may, but the money lenders of New York will be slow to appreciate this difference, If there ls any. The Courier may, from Its superior knowledge of floanoe, be able to explain this matter satis? factorily to some persons, but there are men who have not forgotten the part played by that Journal during and after the Taxpayers' Convention. This game of repudiation may be a boomerang. It may return to plague Its Inventors. THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS', PARU, November IO. Thiers inspected the Military School at St, Maur to-day.

[From the New York Journal of Commerce.] There is evidently an Increasing Interest In the manufacture ot plain cottons at the South, and the productions from that section will un? doubtedly soon be found to be in successful competition with the best Eastern fabrics. Messrs. W. C. Langley ? Co., agents, offer a new make of standard sheetings from the Langley Mills of South Carolina, which merit the attention of the best buyers. [From the Dry Goods Reporter.] This ls a new article in standard brown sheetings, made by the Langley Manufactur? ing Company, near Augusta, Ga., running 10,000 spindles and 3000 looms. It is in every respect worthy of the name of standard, as upon examination and critical comparison lt is fully equal to the Atlantic A, though sold at 12J cents. In evenness ot thread, regularity and clearness of cloth, and general manufac? ture, ft will offer close competion for the trade In heavy standard sheetings, but being a new ticket and Its worth unknown as yet, lt has to be distributed widely before lt can acquire the desired reputation. The mills, though in operation for the past six months, have just fairly Introduced their goods in the market, yet they are pronounced by those who have seen them as a first-class article. Being full 36 inches In width, war? ranted to weigh not less than 285 pounds, and selected with the greatest precision, we bespeak for the Langley Standard Sheetings, at no distant day, a reputation second to none, while we feel confident that no first-class Jobber can afford to do without them.

The So-called Confessions-Effect Upon Trade-A Gloomy State of Things. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS. ? COLUMBIA, November 10. United States Marshal Johnson arrived here to-daj from Union County, having In his cus? tody twelve more prisoners charged with com? plicity In the raid on the Union Jail, and six witnesses. He reports about one hundred ar? rests in York, Spartanburg and Union during the past week. Most of the prisoners from York and Spartanburg have made so-called confessions, but none of the Union men have committed themselves. B. W. T. A MILITARY OROT. An Outrage In Union-Citizens Arrested by Drunken Soldiers-These Threaten to Burn the Town. The following statement ls made by the Cheater Reporter: Several days'ago a series of outrages were gerpetrated upon some of the most respecta le citizens of Union by the troops stationed at that point. A numfer ot the^uslness men were placed lo "durance vile'' on the charge of belog members of the Ku-Klux. After lock? ing them up, and threatening them with death on the morrow, their captors then pro? ceeded to the homeB of their prisoners, and, nnder the plea of searching for the identical mea that were already incarcerated, they entered the most private apartments of the ladies, making sad havoc among line dresses and toilet articles. Of course thea was committed, and insults and Indecent language prevailed. After volunteering to the lad.es uie Information that "ia the morning their relatives would suffer death," they de? parted. One of the ladies lost a tine gold watch and chain. This has not yet been re? covered. On the morning following the night of their arrest, the commandant ot the post dismissed the pr iso Der?, as there were no charges brought against them then. While these arrests were being made, the troops (a United Sutes mar? shal was In the company) made threats fre? quently, that if resistance were made, they would lay the town In ashes. Now comes the strange part of the transac? tion. After the release ot the prisoners, the authorities stated that lt was "only a drunken spree." A notice was Bent to tbe publisher of the Union ville Times to the effect, that, If he dared publish anything In regard to the affair, they would fire the town and swing him to a pott. We understand that the town council have since taken the affair In band. An Investiga? tion has been gone Into, and the evidence, (duly sworn to,) printed in pamphlet lorm. We also learn that copies of this pamphlet have been forwarded to Attorney-General Akerman and District Attorney D. T. Corbin. We conceive lt to be the duly of the press to keep the public well Informed of all passing events, we believe this to be a horrible truth, as the source from which we obtained our In? formation ls reliable, and when speaking of lt knew nothing of our connection with the press. It bas been corroborated by another gentleman who was In Union at the time of the action. The York Ku-Klux-Swift Witnesses The Total If umber of Arrests. We gather the ?oliowing facts from the York vlile Enquirer, of Thursday : It Is now three weeks since the United States authorities commenced making arrests of al? leged Ku-Klux In this county, and as yet there are no Indications that the accused will be granted a preliminary hearing before the United States commissioner previous to the sitting of the district court at Oolnmbla, on the lourth Monday of this month. This delay ls mainly attributed to the fact, as we learn, that the time of the officials is preoccupied in receiving voluntary confessions of members of the Ku-Klux organization,for whose arrests no orders have been Issued. The headquarters of Colonel Merrili are constantly besieged by men of this class, of whom more than three hundred have made confessions of their membership, and quite a number are yet awaiting an oppor? tunity to do likewise, we learn these contin? ued confessions develop nothing differing in character from the confessions alluded to last Since our last report the following persons have been arrested and Imprisoned. The first ten had been arrested and bound to appear fer trial previous to the President's proclama? tion, but some doubts having arisen as to the force of their bond, they were rearrested last week, and allowed the privilege of giving new bonds. As will be seen, all but two of them renewed their ball and were released from confinement: W. D. Lessley,* S. E. Good, Ellas McDonald, D. J. Good, J. B. Faulkner,* J. B. Good, C. C. Beamguard,* D. T. Byers, W. C. Thomas,* T. M. Grant, J. C. Watson,* Samuel Mitchell,* J. L. Wood,* J. T. Howe, T. H. Lessley,* J. M. Simms, J. N. Thomas.* M. W. Mendenhall,* O. J. Beamguard, W. B. Byers, Allen BettlB, H. E. MoFadden, A. B. Osborne, D. A. Gordon,* J. L. Parker, Wm. Alcorn,t A. J. Martin, Robert Stewart,! W. A. Martin, David Thomasson.f T. G. Martin, Jacob Stewart.f H. B. Houser, 8. A. Ferguson, John H. Houser, James Parsley. Mack Archer, M. S. Carroll, John R. Chambers, James Jamison,* W. B. Leach, Charles W. Foster. "Released on bond. tNegroes, confined lp the guardhouse. Of the names heretofore published, J. C. Chambers, J. N. McDill and D. M. Stewart have been released from confinement In prison. The total number of arrests made since the 19th ultimo ls one hundred and forty five, of whom one hundred and seven are now in prison; ninety-seven white men and one negro being confined in the Jail, and ten ne? groes in the guardhouse. The Jail building is, of course, very much crowded with this number ot men closely confined within Its rooms; but we believe every possible means ls adopted to Insure the sanitary condition of the prisoners, and to render their situation as comfortable as cir? cumstances will permit. Captain Ogden, of the Eighteenth Infantry, who has charge of I the prison, ls assldlous In his efforts to attain this object; and he and the men under his command are polite and courteous toward the numerous persons constantly applying for permission to visit those In confinement. Gloomy Accounts from Spartanburg. The Spartanburg Spartan says : Last Monday was sales-day, and a larger number of persons were in town than we thought there would be, considering the "sit? uation." Owing to the frightful rumors which we have heard are afloat in the district, we counted on a very slim turnout of citizens. The crowd in town was not near as large as is usual on such days at this season of the year; yet there we.*e a great many more than we expected andar tbe circumstances, and we are glad to state that the day passed off with? out any unusual excitement. No arrests were made, though many were present who had been informed that they were listed for arrest. The most gloomy accounts were given from sections ol the district of depopulation and wasting ol crops. Only Women and Children Escape Paralysis or Industry. The Spartan bur.; Spartan also says: On Saturday evening last a detachment of the army operating in mis county returned to town, bringing with them eleven captured citizens from the Thlckety section ol' this county. On Sunday evenLg another detach? ment returned with twenty-two citizens from ina Buck Cr^ek section, all these people were captured at their homes, while peacelul Z?S* J? ?Mr dally pursuits, or taken ???? BM8 AT NUIHT- *TO?Q o?ir koowl ffl ~ m^"?i two 8vcllon? ?hove named, and -Am?? pu,,?iUon;.we would suppose that the women and children only have escaped arrest. These persons are those who have remained at home, many of whom perhaps from their age and a consciousness of their innocence felt them? selves exempt from the terrorism which ls rioting over the military district of the State. But the fury of Grant's renominating army ls levelled against the best and oldest citizens men unable. If they were willing, to commit outrages. We know nothing of the charges against these men, but it looks like a sweep? ing, wholesale arrest ol all the people In that section ot the county. It our whole county ls to undergo this treatment, it will depopulate it completely, and the crops in the fields will be lett lo rot, or to be stolen by the thieves who feel that they can plunder with impunity. The result of this terrorism will prove most destructive to every branch of Industry in the county, and especially to the tanning Interest, both for this and the next year. Merchants and business of all classes are suffering from its effects. No one ls making any calculations fer the future. The Effect or the Kn-Klnx Law i Bastaess. The Baltimore Gazette prints the following 1 temperate letter from a responsible Chester j merchant : The chief cause of business being so dnll is that nearly one-third of the males have left the county to keep from being thrown in jail; every one is excited; nothing talked about but going to jail, and leaving their families with? out any protection from the negroes and drunken soldiers, and many are afraid their lamllles will suffer for the necessaries of life while they are In prison. We of this place have not been molested, but may, before this reaches you, be In prison for being Ku-Klux, though we never belonged to the order, nor ever have seen one: but they are taking up the innocent as well as the guilty. We expect the officers here this week, and are prepared to submit to our fate. What you read in the pa? pers from this State you can rely on as ti ue. I mean the Democratic papers, for we nave one or two Radical papers that are the main cause of all this trouble. You ask us to send you an order tor goods. We would not be doing ourselves nor you justice by doing so, as we could not sell them, and may not be able to pay for them. Should times improve we will send you an order. The above ls but a poor description of the limes here. A Baltlmoreaa Opeae a Bubeerlptlon List for Booth Carolina. The same paper prints a letter from a Baltl? moreaa, who very suggestively remarks that there are some other places In this country besides Chicago, where want and suffering not brought about by the hand of God-make desolate homes. It says : Whilst using our utmost endeavors to allevi? ate the sufferings of the people of the North? west, let ?B not forget the excruciating agony of our brethren of the South, who are this day suffering under the iron heel of a military des? potism. Martial law, without the shadow of justifica? tion, prevails this day in a large portion of South Carolina; fathers, husbands, brothers and sons, who would not be slaves, are com? pelled to flee belore the edicts of a tyrant: their families are left without their natural protectors to meet the terrible foes of famine and oppression, and it well behooves the gen? erous and charitable of all lands to aid them in this their hour of undeserved affliction. Though there ls no collection started for their aid, ? send you the enclosed, in hopes that lt may be the small acorn from which large oaks may grow, and that the people ol our whole country may st least testify, by their care of the defenceless, their detestation or the spoliation of all that American citizens hold most dear. I enclose you my check for the benefit or the South Carolina sufferers twenty dollars. THE TELEGRAPH DEFAULTER. A Woman at the Bottom of lt. [From the Savannah Advertiser.] Nichols, the telegraph operator who left the office of the Southern Atlantic Telegraph Company in this city on such short notice, or rather no notice at all, about ten days since, taking with him about seven hundred dollars of the company's funds, bas turned np In New Fork city, whither he betook himself on leaving Savannah. The agent In charge of the office in New York telegraphs that Nichols has been found at a hotel, quite sick and very penitent The dis? patch says he ls suffering from the effects of poison, which, lt ls presumed, remorse at his rash conduct and its consequent disgrace drove him Into taking. A lady (what relation she sustained to Nichols ls not stated) appear? ed upon the scene to intercede for him, saying that ne had none of the money in his posses? sion, and had in fact taken but little with bim in his hasty flight from Savannah. Nichols himself was very contrite, and anxious to settle the matter li possible by "working lt out." THE HEATHER THIS DAY. WASHINGTON, November 10.

Greenville The Enqurier prints the following report from the lower part of Greenville: "The corn crop is turning out finely-beyond expectation -reaching very nearly a full crop. The cotton crop ls all of a three quarter crop; the old and worn lands turning off very nearly a tull yield, the late rains and no trost enabling the plant to mature fully all the late forms and bolls. The lorebt mast is so abundant and rich, that little or nothing will be required from the field or crib to fatten stock-hogs, sheep, goats, and cattle are luxuriating in the woods-all small game ls doing equally well, the possums, squir? rels and rabbits are reported In fine condition, affording good harvest to the boys with snot guns aDd dogs. The potato crop has not been better for many years; the late rains fully ma? turing and giving full growth to them.

They come generady in a retrograde direction to that in which the Earth ls moving; and in bis val nable work on the subject, Humboldt supposes that from sixteen to one hundred and forty miles ls the height at which they become visible. The stars, as bas been ascertained by measurement by means or a parallox, move at a velocity or from eighteen to thirty-six miles per secund, and at one lme were supposed io be emitted from volcanoes in the moon, but this ls now doubted. These bodies are also associated with meteorolltes,wblch are actual masses dr Iron or an oblate, spheroidal form, and have been known to crush men and animals tn their descent upon the Earth's sur? face.
