After the delivery of u beautiful aud ap? propriate address, und just as Admirul Semmos was about to unveil the statue, Col. Wickeraham, our popular post? master, who was a Federal soldier dur? ing tbe war, stepped forward and pre? sented tbe Admiral with a beautiful wreath of flowers, in tbe shape of a cir? cle and cross, acoompauiod by the fol? lowing touching and appropriate note: 'This floral offering is teudored with the kindly and sympathetic-greetings of surviving Federal soldiers, resident in Mobile, who honor the brave aud heroic dead of the late war, and desire yonr acceptance of tbe same as au bum? ble tribute to valor and unselfish devo? tion, to a cause held dearer than life. Fresh be the memory of those under the sod, and the dead awaiting the judgment day, nuder the one tbe blue, under the other tbe grey."

"Would that the spirit of the illustrious dead whom we lament to-day, could spouk from the grave to both parties to this deplorable discord, in toues which should reach each heart throughout this broad terri? tory.''

To the Editor of Columbia Phossix: I have agaiu to throw myself upon your clemency as a correspondent?uot that I would soek or wish to mako your co? lumns tho medium of controversy, but from tho simple desire to deal with this much vexed subject of conversion bonds, iu the light of honesty uud fair dealing. I havo to. thank you for your indulgent treatment of rcyself, and the courteous toue you have maintained in discussing the subject in your issue of the 11th instaut; but! must needs dis 6eut from your arraignment of facts, aud your conclusions drawn therefrom. With all respect, I tiiiuk you argue from untenable premises, and tho drift of your remarki does not touch Ihn ques? tion at issue, viz: Tho rights?what we consider the inviolable rights?of inuo cent holders. True, yon allude to the | rights of such a class, but carefully ex-' elude us from ally benefits pertaining! tberet >, and put us iu the pillory, as moral, if not legal, felous. Instead of beiug the ill-used, misrepresented vic? tims of misplaced conuduuoo iu the*, honor of Soitu Carolina, it secim wo ought to bo thankful that we are let oil thus easily; but our case might have beeu worse, seeing that we are regarded as receivers and abettors iu the fraud. We arc eiinply criminals at large. You admit that if the State Treasurer had issued a larger amount of bonds than tho la.v allowed, innocent purchasers ol tho same might havo a claim against the State, und the State Luid responsible for tho issue of such bonds. I may bo per? mitted to state, that the law in all such cases has decided in favor of the bond? holders. There was a uotubio case of a duplicate issue of bouds tried iu this State, some years ago, knowu as "the Sob ny I or bond case." The bouds wero issued fraudulent'!/?-that was udmittcd by both parties. After a brief hearing, tho railroad company was held responsi? ble. Iu that particular, at least, your State can be securely held responsible, without doubt or question, as part ot tho conversion bouds are a duplicate issue, aud the Act authorizing tho issue is silent regarding (bo numbers or the color of the same. You assumo that the Act ouly permitted the Treasurer to issue bouds to certain persons comply? ing with certain conditions. The Financial JJoard differ with you in opi- ! Inion. aud tho Attorney-General of the\ S'atc decided thai the bonds could be ' used as col'ateral security for loans made the Slate, which was doue. You further assumo that till parties touching, in any way, these bonds, did so with the kuowkdgc that they wero j fraudulent, aud tuok that risk along with tho bonds?a most sweeping as-\ sumption, iu view of tho fict that the j \executire officers of your State, tbeu in office, said, and say note, that the bunds are valid. Every stock exchauge in the country admit the tutno. The baukers, who loaned money upon them, the in? surance compsuius aud savings institu? tions, who bought freely of them, havo not altered their opinion, and it is ouly a portion uf the people of your State (for I am given to understand your own citizens hold not it few uf them) that hold opposite views. Whatever any single individual might do or would do, iu tho way of wrong do? ing, 1 think wo might safely assume that the different purlies alluded to would not, i;i their colleclice capacity, engage or participate in any fraud known or sus? pected, i'l tho same degree of candid opinion, wc may conclude that investors, proverbially a cautious class of people, would not be apt to turn (heir hard earned uiouey into securities to which .suspicion were attached. It is admitted that there, was utnl uro valid conversion bov.ds extant. Yon say that, (here are, likewise, fraudulent bonds of tho same class. How could 1 or any ono dis? tinguish between the real und tho assumed? The Act does not eniightuu us Upon auy distinctive feature ut re? cognition. Wo had thu evidence und the assurance cf the Governor, the Trea? surer, tho Secretary of Statu aud the j Attorney-General, all high State officials, bankers, and your own State ageut, who paid interest upou them, vouching for their authority. Tho records at Colum? bia were inaccessible to us aud to all but State officers; but even if wo had found entrance there, it would have beeu of but littlo Borvico. At tho Morton-Bliss I trial, before your Supreme Court, your Attoruey-Goueral solemnly stated that they (tho present Government) could not I tell which were good aud which wero bad among tho bonds issued. It was i ouly last tall, after a iapso of several years, that your august Legislature found out tho secret which had remained j sealed up uulil then. They have never explained where tho light Cauiu from, nor why tho bill, ordering an examina? tion into tho public debt of tho State, the year before, perished iu its pigeon? hole. Wo had all the evidence und ussnranco any ouo could reasonably wish to obtain iu favor of tho bouds. There was uot a hiut or word of caution against them from any oue, not even j from tho Conservative peoplo or press of your owu State. So I think we, who I invested in these securities, may bo pro? perly absolved from tho charge of com? plicity iu tho alleged irregularity of their I issue, or want of caution ou our part in buying them as legitimate bonds of the Stato. I have carefully noted your icmarks as to my error iu alleging that tho Tux Payers* Couveution of 1871 endorsed by their sanction aud approval tho tbeu limited issuu of ?1,203,800 of these bouds. I quote,I from memory then, hh I do now, uud if iu error, will most will? ingly submit tocorreotiou. My impres? sion was aud is, that in tho body of tbeir report they endorsed tho debt statement (official) of October 31, 1870. showing tiio total outstanding debt to bo $7,005,908 93. At all events, in tho debt statemeut of 1870, there does ap? pear two items?ono for $1,201,800, and , the other (additional) showing 864,000 conversion bondsissued. Ab the eon I vention met in May, 1871, we might suppose they woold know the facts as I have stated; the more especially, as they were granted permission to exa? mine the books and records at the Exe? cutive Department in Oolnmbia. Cer? tain it is, that prior to May, 1871, bonds bad been issued and were openly dealt in at our exchange without doubt or question, having passed the scrutiny of the examining committee. This I can vouch for. Members of the convention had been iu our city, examining into mutters pertaining thereto, and couid have learned the above facts from any broker iu the street. I am aware that the statement of debt approved of by the couveution embraced a larger amount than that bearing date of Octo? ber, 1S70, but my impression was it showed the debt up to tho period of their meeting. There was not a word raised ur bint given us to the validity of these bonds until the fall of 1871, when the New York World poured fnrth daily denunciations of them The conversion bond-holders feel quite secure in their claim* as creditors of your State, und will be uo parties to any compounding or compromising of such. They hare beuu abused and misrepre? sented too much to bo in the humor to accept anything less than their honest rights. But we believo South Carolina will do what is honorable to one and all of her creditors. Her honor and good name is iu question; with us, it's only the mutter of money. Who has most at stake? How would she?bow could she?stand in 187G with her old original sisters and tho bar sinister of repudia? tion traversing her shield? I usk your pardon for the length of this letter, but as the subject matter is of moment to your State as well as to myself, I hopo you may find room for it. I remain, vour obedient servant, W. S.
