Adureas RIORDAN, DAWSON JS CO.. Ko. 140 East Bay. Charleston. S.O. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1871. NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold at New York, yesterday, was quoted at ll ?all j. -Cotton at New York closed weak at 18j cents. -At Liverpool cotton closed strong, with an upward tendency; ur-iands fully 9?d; eales 15,000 bales. -About lour hundred German immigrants have lately settled in Texas. -The Emperor William has presented two of the captured French guns to Field-Marshal Count Moltke, to be placed in front of his country seat, Creisan, in Silesia. -Tiffany & Co., of New York, have a neck? lace of pearls which was purchased from the ex-Empress of the French, by an agent sent to Chlselhurst for the purpose. She would sell no other ol her jewels. The price asked ls $25,000. -The trial of the notorious Mrs. WhartoD, charged with the poisoning of General Ket chum and others, is definitely fixed to take place at Annapolis on the 4th of December next. It is generally considered that the array onega] ability on both sides ls formidable, and yet lt is understood that additional prominent counsel will be engaged to assist the prosecu-1 tion. -A cotton picker's velocipede,bas been in? vented In South Carolina, by -means or which \ aman may sit on a cushion, under an umbrel la, with his cotton basket carried to hiB hand, and gather his crop. When bis basket ls full, by a simple reversion he can transform Uu. -?-1 loclpede to a wheelbarrow, on which he can carry his colton to the place of deposit without I even the labor of lilting it to his shoulder. Toe same machine can be used for pulling J peas. ! -A great scarcity ol gold and silver cur- j rency exists in London. According to the I Fail Mall Gazette, applicants at some of the large banks who keep drawing accounts there I are obliged to enter their names in a book kept for the purpose, which entitles them to a por- I tlon of the next available supply. The same scarcity is felt between the branches of i he j large London banks and the head offices. One I large bank openly declares that the appllca- J tiona for gold currency from no fewer than twenty of its branches are so frequent, and I upon such a scale, that they are with the great-1 est difficulty satisfied. Considering that the flow of specie to Germany has already com-1 pelted the Bank of France to issue small paper current y, it is not Impossible that tbe Bank I of England may soon have to do the same. I -The postmaster-genera), in his forthcom-1 inc annual report, lt ls understood will recom- J me?d to Congress a system of postal telegra- j phy. If this bill ls not carried another will be introduced looking to the adoption of telegraph communication at rates within the reach of j poorer classes of the people, embracing the more practical features of this system not un der the direct control of the government but nuder its supervision. Of the manner of carry-1 lng the malls over the postal routes, the com? plicated schemes embraced in the bill of B. Gratz Brown when in the Senate, and the less curqbersome bill Introduced in the Bouse by Mr. Was h burne, now minister to France, are I substaatially abandoned. Their propositions Included the Idea of ownership of the tele graph line by the government ; the proposed bill for the next Congress does not embrace this government ownership, but leaves it where It now is, to private citizens and com panie?. -The latest news from Cuba gives an unu Busily revolting account of Spanish atrocities, walch seem to Increase In number with the steady pi ogress of the revolution The re? porto! the massacre of the town council of jflguanl, by command of Valmaseda, is con firmed. Colonel Ca?izales had all the mem? bers of the municipal council brought before him, and told them to prepare to die, for they would all be shot in two hours, and without any accusation made against them, or even the farce ol a trial, they were all taken out and murdered. But the most astounding piece of barbarity was that perpetrated on J Prefecto Lopez. He was sentenced to be gar- j roted, and a large crowd assembled to witness his execution. When he sat down on the bench it was lound to be too low to allow his neck to come up to the ia al Iron collar. The second time he sat dow: ne was too high. At last, after the fifth attempt, the garrote was j adjusted round his throat. The brutal instru? ment was so badly arranged that lt broke on the first twist given to the -crew by the exe? cutioner, and then the victim had to be lifted up, while with his head handing in the collar the garrole was repaired. A/hen Lopez sat j down the seventh time, he str tined his nerves lor final supreme effjrt, and shouted "Death I to Spain !" His neck was the.i Immediately broken, and two officers mount? d the platform to take charge of the body; b it in order to prove to the bloodthirsty volun eers that their victim was really dead, they li ted him from the bench several time?, made tte execution? er give several more twists tc the screw, and tcok the face of the corpse-v hlch was an un? distinguishable mass of blood t flesh, with the eyes protruding lrom the s 'Ckets-In their hands, turning it toward the p< opie. A brutal yell followed, and the horrible t xhibitioncarae to a close. -Th- London Economist thinks we may as? sume for the present that money will not be? come dearer. Some sanguine persons are ai-1 ready beglnnlug to computo the probability of its instantly becoming cheaper. But so long as matters remain as they now are, and while so much money is locked up at Berlin, il will be the duty of the Bant of England (especially looking to the probable demands upon Lon? don in November and December on French account) to accumulate an ample reserve, and not to reduce the rate until she is sure that she has accumulated enougt and until there ls every reasonable likelihood that the end she has aimed at is attained, and i hat she will not, In order to meet the impending German de? mand, have again to raise the rate of discount. When these conditions are satisfied, but not until then, will the Bank be justified in lower? ing its rate. But there is one change which would alter everything vitally. There is no reason for accumulating vast sums of gold at Berlin, ould that gold be permitted, on easy terms, to retara to its natural place in the money market, the value of money will immediately fall. But it must not be imagined that, ewn in that case, money will return to the point at which it stood beiore the late rapid rise. There are two can-e.? which forbid iu-flrst, we had two months ago a large amount of foreign money in London, which has now been taken from us ; second, the in? ternal trade of the country, as shown t>y the returns of the Clearing-house and of the rail? way traffic, is in a state ol most rapid develop? ment. A greater demand tor money is there? fore operating on a less supply, r.nd therefore the days of very cheap money are at an end. The London Money Market Review thinks it is satisfactory to observe that the tide has fairly turned, and, in the present state of thc ex? changes, the influx ol' gold will continue. Another noteworthy feature at the moment ls, that, however much the resources of the Bank of England lately have been trenched ^ipon, as regards the leading joint-stock banks the amount of nemployed money Is extraordi? narily large. The change in the tone of the mc ney market is even more remarkable than that witnessed in the position or the Bank. Insteal of stringency and precautionary bor? rowings, lhere Is now a general eagerness to lend, with a view to take advantage of the present high rates. The demand is for bills, not for money ; am? in consequence, the best j three months paper can be negotiated at 4 to 44 per cent., or nearly 1 per cent, below the Bank ;;minimum. Moreover, bankers' bills having six months 10 run are likewise belmj taken as low as 4 per cent, in large quantities -that is to say, at the same rate as that which the banks are now allowing for de posits. Under these circumstances the proba? bility of an early reduction in the Bank rate is evident. jr Systematic Deception. ?The article of the New "York Financial Chronicle upon the fiscal condition of South Carolina, printed in TUE NEWS of yesterday, points out one of the many ways in which the Scott administration have deceived the general public and cheated the people of the State. It is independent and impartial evi? dence that the financial officers of the Stute Government have deliberately printed, and circulated,debt statements which were gross? ly and, we believe, systematically incorrect. The Financial Chronicle, which appears to speak by authority, accounts for the increase of the State debt as follows: Debt reported October, 1867.$6,407,215 Past due Interest October, 1867 . 500,000 Past due Interest to July, 1869. 300,000 Bills receivable converted..9 500,000 Bank notes converted. 1,258,550 Land commission bonds. 700,000 Total debi.$8,665,765 Against this statement we now place the report of the public debt made by Governor Scott to Senator Scott of the Ku-Klux Com? mittee, under date of September 20, 1671, viz: Amount of bonded debt prior iq the war.....34,046,540 Amount ot bonds Issued by Provis? ional Government. 1,023,473 Banded debt created by the Scott administration- ? Bonds Issued for redemp lion ol Bills Receivable, act of August, 1868.$ 600,000 Bonds Issued for payment of interest on public debt, actof August 1868. 1,000,000 Bonds Issued for funding bills of Bank of State, act of-September, 1868.. 1,258,550 Bonds issued for Relief ot the Treasury, act 01 Feb? ruary, 1869. 1,000,000 Land Commission bonds, act March, 1869. 200,000 Land Commission bonds, act March, 1870. 500,000 -$4,458,550 Total issue of bonds and stocks-$9,528,564 There is a wide difference between the two statements. The issues on account of the Bills or the Bank of the State, tbe^BiUs Re? ceivable and the Land Commission are found ia both reports, bat the amount of debt, October, 1867, ($5,407,215,) as given by the Financial Chronicle, (ant by the Comptrol? ler-General,) does not agree with the amount (85,070,013) reported by Governor Scott, being the aggregate of the ante-war debt and the bonds issued by the Provisional Government. Passing over this, we find that the Financial Chronicle charges $500, 000 for past due interest of 1867, and $300, 000 for past due interest to July, 1869, making a total of $600,000. Against this we place Governor Scott's own official decla? ration, in his message to the General Assem? bly in November, 1868, that "the interest "due on the entire debt July 1, 1868," was $355,204, and "the interest due January 1, "1869," was $159,214, making a total of $514,418, or about $300,000 less than the amount set down by the Financial Chronicle. We now get on the track of bigger game. The Financial Chronicle does not include in its statement the $1,000,000 o? Interest bonds or the $1,000,000 of bonds for tho Re? lief of the Treasury which Governor Scott reports as issued, and the reason of the omission is explained by our contemporary in the following paragraph : "In the statements submitted to us, from which we have collated the foregoing particu? lars, we see two other Items added to those we hare given. The aggregates, however, ore not slated, and ice are assured that they xcill not exceed three and a half millions, making the aggregate debt of the State about ticelve mil? lions. This is the amount ut which we are in? formed il will be stated in the forthcoming re? port. . "The two items which we omitted are as fol? lows : Last year an act of the Legislature was passed authorizing the Governor to raise $1,000,000 in cash lor the pt nent o? interest past due. The anwunt of bonds icas not tixtd. but merell/ the aggregate of cash to be raided. The su.ne ?meer was given in a bill passed in 1869 jor the 'relief of the treasury,' the s:<m oj money lo le raised under this act being aho fixed at $1,000,000 ir. cash: According, then, to the serai-nfficiai admis? sions of the Financial Chronicle: 1. The aggregate debt of the State is about $12,000,000 instead of $9,500,000 as report? ed by Governor Scott last September. 2. The addition or the $8.500,000 sf Ster? ling Funding bonds (known to be hypothe? cated in New York) swells the admitted debt to $15,500,000. 3. While Governor Scott officially reports that the bonds issued (Actor August, 186S,) for the payment or interest on the public debt, and (Act or February, 869,) for the relier of the treasury amount to only $2, 000,000, it is positively stated by the Foian dnl Chronicle that these bonds amount, ot wast, to $3,000,0^ or $3,.r.oo,ooo And Governor Scott is not the solitary deceiver. The Comptroller-General in bia official re^ ports, and in his report to the Taxpayers' Convention, gives the amount of the Interest bonds and Belief bonds as being oniy $2, 000,000. A reference to the Act of August, 1868, "to authorize a State loan to pay interest on "the public debt," shows that the Governor is authorized "to borrow, on the credit of "the State of South Carolina, on coupon "bonds, within twelve months from the pas "sage of this Act, a sum not exceeding one \ "million dollars, or as mach thereof as he "may deem necessary to pay interest on the "public debt." Now Governor Scott himself estimated that the entire interest on the public debt, due and falling due ap to Jan? uary, 1869, the time when, under the Act juBt mentioied, the payment of interest should begin, was only $514,418. To meet this he was authorized issue one million dollars of bonds. This was the plain inten? tion of the Act. Governor Scott holds that he was authorized to issue as many bonds as might be sold for $1,000,000 tn cash, and for all that we know he may have printed and issued three or four million dollars of bonds under this one Act. The Act of Feb? ruary, 1869, to authorize a loan for the Be? lief of the Treasury is similar in character to that of February, 1869. It authorizes the Governor to borrow, "on the credit of the "State of South Carolina, on coupon bonda," a sum Dot exceeding one million dollars, and that the bonds "may be used as collate-, "ral security pr loans by the Financial "Agent of the State in the city ef New York, "in accordance with the directions of the "Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller "General and Treasurer of this State, who "may also authorize the said Financial Agent "to sell said bonds at the highest market "price, but not less than for a sum to be "tixed by them ; and they are further author? ized to pay such sums of money ae may be 1 'necessary to effect the purposes of this Act, "out of any fnnds of the State not otherwise "appropriated." Under this Act, as well as under the Act of August, 1868, Governor Scott may have printed and pawned seve? ral million dollars of bonds, may have sold them for a song, and may have allowed Mr. Kimpton half a million for bis share of | the labor. It is no exaggeration to say that, ander two Acta plainly intended to authorize an issue of $2,000,000 of bonds, Governor Scott and his colleagues may have j issued all the twenty or thirty millions which are said to have been printed. There was, indeed, no other limit to the issue than such as might be found in the "honor and "integrity" of the financial afficers of the State. What that is worth the people1 know too well. They can see for them- j selves that the financial prospect grows dar Ker and darker. They most see that, to acknowledge, or pay, claims of the char? acter of those which are attempted to be thrust apon them, would be to connive at fraud and set a premium on successful knavery. They mast see that there is only j one coarse to pursue, whatever the cost, viz., to re?ase to recognize, or pay, any claim which is not proved to be legal, and to stop Oie supplies. To withhold the taxes is J to hold the Ring for at least two months in the jaws of ruin. Counsel for the Ku-Klux. _ *. The Columbia Phoenix learns.that the ex United States Attorney-General, Mr. Stans? bury, of Ohio, and the Hon. Reverdy John Bon, of Baltimore, have been engaged to de-1 fend the men to be tried, ander the Ku-Klux net, of Congress, at the approaching session of the United States Court, to be held in Co? lumbia. A sum of money must be raised to carry out the project, and it is boped that each county in the State will make a contribution. The object is two-fold: That ample justice may be secured the prisoners, and that the constitutionality of the Ku-Klux law may be tested. And ander the circumstances no lawyer at the Sooth Carolina bar could speak to the court, and to the country, as Messrs. Stansbury and Johnson will do.' We hope that the wise plan of retaining these emi Dent gentlemen will not fail for want of j money, and that all those who are able will j stand ready to give their assistance when- j ever the call may be made.
