STATE OF SOUTH (JAHOMNA, OFFICE SEOUETAKY OF STATE, I CoiiUMuiA, S.O.. Aug. 14, 1872. I 2b His Excellency li. IC. Scull, docer nor of South Carolina, and lion. Niles (J. Par leer, State Treasurer. Silts: I have carefully read your replies to nay letter to my attorneys, which ap? peared iu thcPflOiNix. of Friday, tho 9th inst., aud will now uuswur them. I will ii r.Ht notice what you ure pleased to term "tho evil spirit which prompted the pub? lication" of my letter. I deemed it a publio duty, though exceedingly painful and unpleasant, to give my attorneys and the public all the information iu my pos session, to prevent, if possible, the fur? ther issue of bouds, and thereby increase the debt of tho State. My only regret is that I was uot in a position to make these facts public two years earlier. I have no doubt, whatever, that it in quite impossible lot either of you to understand bow any person oau bo influenced by a sense of public duly. That tho publio may more clearly understand our re? spective duties in regard to tho bouds, I will statu thal, by the laws of this S'nte, three officer? arc required to prepare bonds. The Governor aigus, tho Trea? surer countersigns, aud tb? Secretary ol State seuls. This duty is purely ministe? rial. After they ere thus prepared, tht Fiuuucial Board (composed of the Go? vernor, tho Treasurer aud tho Attorney General,) take possession of tho bondi and sell or hypothecate them, and ordei the disbursement of tho moneys arising from such sales or hypothecations. I will be at once observed that my daty, ai Secretary of Stute, is simply ministerial I am concerned iu the preparation q bonds only, and have nothing whuteve to do wita thu sales or moneys resultinj from sales. The Governor and Treasurer have stu diously, meanly and with a audici?n cowardice, characteristic of them, endea vored to implicate me iu the responsibility which attaches lo them aa individuals um members of the Financial Board exclu sively, for the issue and sales of boudt This is evident trom the whole tenor c both of their letters. A more detuile account of the manner and the circuir, stance* under which the "sterling loa bonds" were sealed, will fully illustr?t und explaiu this. The Goveruor, the Treasurer aud mj self bad resolved to prepare tho "sterliu loau bouds." Tho Treasurer informe mc thut his Excellency had authorize his name to be printed on the bonds i Now York, and that be himself (tb Treasurer) required to go to New Yuri and would be absent all Slimmer. ( L'l reason of his absuuee can be seen L reference to pages 514 und 515 of tl "Reports and Resolutions," 1871-7: where it will be noticed that ?201,81G.( had been loaned to the Blue Ridge Rai road, und ?203,090 used to redeem o bonds, not only without authority of lui butin positive violation thereof, luasniut us this money bad beeu appropriated I the Lunatic Asylum, the Deaf und Dun Asylum, the schools, tbe peuitentiar und tho salaries of officers, uud bo d tr not remain uud withstand the indigna remonstrances of those men whoso rigl ful moneys bud boou thus diverted use bis Excellency's mild term. No wu der, then, that it became necessary levy two taxes for one fiscal year-a Stut., vol. 14, p. 705, and 15, p. 293-t one to meet the regular appropriatiot tho other to cover up their irregular a unwarranted expenditures!) But to ! turn to the subject. I myself was abse from Columbia that summer, havi taken up my residence on Sullivai Island, for the benefit of my family, told the Treasurer, however, that I wot authorize my clerk to seal thu bonds I fore I leave, and that his derk could i liver them to mine when they cac They were so delivered, generally in I afternoon, after the arrival of the Nor ern truin. They were sealed by : clerk ut his house, it being after oil hours, and because they were required bo returned immediately to thu Tren rer's clerk, thut they might be sent bi to New York by the next mail. If th is anything surreptitious in that, it is first time that I have heard so ruben! and nonsensical u charge. What were tho reasons that indu his Excellency to send the Comptrol General to New York to obtain posi sion of these bouds, is certainly m than I know. He, doubtless, posses some of that peculiar information, fcrrcd to in my last lotter, as tho al lute and exclusive prerogative of Finanoial Board. Nor oau I see vt relevancy that statement has to me my action. I fear that his Excelle slyly took advantage of that ebano attempting to elevate himself in tho i of tho public, by parading his usual F wickian policy of letter-writing, ostr like, burying his head in tho saud, mindful of his protruding body-a pc which deceives nobody who knows t especially tho bunters on his trail. I will now notice what voa say al my taking the seal to New York. May, 1871, immediately aftor tho jouromont of tho Tax-payers' Con tion, the Financial Agcut requested iu the presence of the Attorney Get and several others, to seal the stet loan bonds in New York, as your E: lenoy's came was to bo printed ou t there, by your special order, and Parker, for tho reasons before stu was to sign them there. Tho pro] tion seemed to mc as exceedingly i propriate, aud I promptly deuliuei do so, but not before asking thc A ney-Geuernl if such a thing were I to which ho replied that there wat thing illegal iu it, and thc propriety i must bu judged by tho circumstai I thought and still think that his E lency was present. He says ho was Wo will concede this point to bim, < cially ns it does not make u partie dilfcreuco, as will bo secu hereafte insisted that thc sterling loan b should be sent to me here, und were seut uud sealed herc. IQ Outober, five months after, when thu Treasurer entreated me to seal a Bmall amount of bonds, in order to nave a vory large amount that would otherwise be sacrificed, I yielded conditionally, viz: that I would eeo and judge for myself of the emergency. I therefore took the seal with mo to New York, having, as I said before, the verbal opinion of the Attoruer-General that it was not illegal, aud whom I did not have time to obtain a writteu opinion from, and feeling it entirely un necessary to do SO, for in ull my officiul and personal communications with the Attorney-General, I have always found him a geutlemau of the strictest voracity. When I went to New York, I stopped , at the same hotel with bin Excellency, in order to better observe the situation, aud govern myself accordingly. On this occasiou, I had determined not to seal be/ore his Excellency had agreed to sign, though neither law nor custom required mu to do so; it was simply a matter of convenience, notwithstanding his Excel? lency's studied attempt to make it up pear otherwise. I do uot desire lo enter into a detuiled account of what I saw in Now York, and I hope it will not bo necessary. Suffice it to say, that after refusing for more thau a week to sign the bonds required, und swearing, by all that was supernal and infernal, that if he signed them, he would do it only with his kerri's blood, his Excellency sat doini one morning, after a protracted iuterview with the Financial Agent, and signed them in good bbick ink. After bis Excellency bad signed them, I took up the bottle of ink, and asked him if that was bi: "heart's blood." He said, with a smile "that was childlike and bland, " that hf had further "light" on the subject. Nc doubt! After bis Excellency had agreed tc sign, I resolved to seal. I then told bil Excellency that I had the seal with mi and had resolved to seal. He said tba ha waa surprised; if he were, it certainly was not visible. He also says that le severely reprimanded me for bringin| the seal to New York. This is false Conscious, from experience, that bis Ex cellency has one of those peculiarly for getful memories, that are very conveni eut lo their possessors, when they desir to extricate themselves from a difficul position, I did not content myself wit his verbal assurances, as in the case c the Attorney-General, but required hir to write a letter authorizing me to prc duce thu seal before I would use it, an ho wrote tho letter which he acknov ledges. Whatever responsibility attaobes t taking my seal to New York / am read to bear, feeling justified by the circuu stances as represented But his Exeu louey must manfully bear his also, an uot try to shirk it; tor I placed it iu h power to prevent it, if ho would not fin give me tho required letter referred ti The faut of the matter is, his Excellent shows both tho weakness of his defect and the narrowness of his owu mind I trying to ovadu tho real point al issu Thu question is not who prepared tl bonds, whether he signed before I seale or rice versa, but what was done wi thom after they were thus prepared? his Excellency condescends to "rise explain" to the public, I apprehend th would be much more satisfied with minute and detuiled account of the ma ncr in which the bonds were dispos of aud the various uses to which tl moneys have been applied. Such pai fully interesting items, for instance, these: By what authority of law caa he, as Chairman of the Financial Boar aud Mr. Parker, as a member and Tn surer, take the tuxes or the proceeds the sales of bonds and loud them to t Blue Ridge Railroad Company, redet old bonds, ns above referred to, and i commodato their friends and charge it "imaginary funds?" Hts Excellency states that there $500,000 of bonds in the hands of t American Bank Note Company, wbi were returned to thom last November be canceled, aud that they have be sealed. It may be so, but I don't I lieve it. But if Healed, they were sea before that time; but I will give my r sons fur doubting the statement. Tl can't be "sterling loan bonds," for tl were all canceled. They can't be "ci version bonds," for if they were, would have much rather bad th brought back here than take me i court. They can't be any other kine! boods, for they have all been sold or I foiled long since, the Treasurer tells i I remember distinctly that there w 82,000,000 of bonds for the funding thu interest sealed; $1,000,000 were ? scaled, and then they were declared be a mis print; aud a second million ] pared to substitute them and sent ward, but only a half million was turned, and the other half million declared to be hypothecated and un tainablo, and I suppose they have b sold long ago. Then was the consti tiou iuveuted that these laws did mean that a certain amount of bc should be issued, but that a cer amount of money should be raised or indefinite amount of bonds. This ( struction may be correct according the letter, but certainly not accon to their spirit and the true inteut of framers. The refcrenco in the last paragrap his Exceileuoy's lotter to those who now endeavoring to reform and pi the party, asserting that they are ll selves venal aud responsible for thi version of money, carries its owu i talion with it, so far as tho stater applies to me; for if there were any facts, his Excellency would curt? produce them. Wu could trust tc malicious ingenuity and nuxiety ti volvo everybody else in his own retribution, to produce any facts : thc Treasurer's hooks to provo his u lions. With regard to "?lr. Parker's letl have but one word to say. Its reaso is too ridiculous to require serious c deration, and its assertions ure pal falsehoods. Where he questions my ve? racity, I leave it simply to the puople of South Carolina to judge between ns. I would say, aa an act of simple justice to the Governor, that be has resisted tho siguiug of bonds-all he teas able, per? haps. (?) I have seen him rave, stcear and threaten lo shoot somebody, and then cry, sud then sign. In conclusion, I would say to both of these gentlemen, in tho language of the poet : "Plot on thy little hour, and bkoiu On skein weave tho vain meshes Upon which thy subtle suuls Brood on their venom; Lol before, behind, around thee, Like au armament of cloud, Tho black fate labors onward I have tho honor to be, verv respect? fully, &c, F.
