An OiUoru Sea Vm*
Wo have jnat received from London
the second annual general report of
tho Council of the Corporation of Fo?
reign Bond-holders for thejyear 1874.
J.t i? of interest us reflecting the sense
?cf tho foreign creditors as to the
-amount of ability and the degree of
xrilliugoesB of the Southern debtor
??States to meet their obligations. It
represents their credit as seriously im
.paired, because of tho adoption of
tiohemes which amount to practical re*
padtatien. It shows a belief to exist
that, in spite of the distress whioh fol?
lowed the civil vat, and notwithstand?
ing the flnanaial embarrassment of tho
?groat commercial crisis, the condition
of the treasuries, would, in many of
the States, have admitted of large pay?
ments, had there been a steady dispo?
sition to do the best according to
? means. Thio hns not been exhibited,
? Ac. "In the Legislatures there haa\
been manifested but little serious de?
sire to meet State indebtedness," &o.
With every proper desire to refrain
? in such a oonnoption as this, from any
romnrka reflecting upon tho manage?
ment of oar finances in this State, it
is impossible to deny that there has
.been no difficulty, from lack of meanp,
-inpaying the interest on our bonds]
! held.abroad, nnd_preacrviDg our credit.
The monoj which hao been coilooted
into the treasury for the last six or
-aeven, yaara. had it not been swamped
>fcy^gfa$?td1;i>lin6ng and other most
^extravagant expenses, woold have boon
ample for this purpose. We need not I
ho surprised, and we hare no right to'
rfeel.indignant at the tone af the fo
? reign creditors. They have seen enor
v mon8 sums lavished upon worthless
objects and unworthy poraono, while
their claims have boon atudionsly ig
uorosd, and, wbrse'sttTl,' upon the false
plea that we were not able to pay
?bam.
fta reference to Sooth Carolina par
'ticnlarly, not much is said in this re?
port. The fiaanoes. are considered to
?be in c most unfavorable condition.
"Enough ia presented to show that the
ruined credit of the State is having its
-effect in repelling immigrants and pie
denting investments. The following |
passage will afford food for sorions re?
flection: "In April, 1874, the shares of
?the South Carolina Rico Plantation
Trust were offered to- the public in
London, but tha .fact of the unsatis?
factory conduot of the State towards I
its creditors'becoming generally known
to the investing public, appears to
havo frustrated every attempt to raise
money for^ tho ptjhlio, or private un?
dertakings of a State which ia der
-fault with regard to its obligations
-and baa not dealt equitably with, its
?creditors." Evan as a polioy, honesty
is the best **
??."'
It is a very unfortunate thing that |
the transaotiono of the treasury de?
partment, in landing bonds and
-coupons, has not been saoh as to pass
unchallenged. The funding law, in its
Very nature, is .^calculated to give
?offence to the holders of the bonds
against the State. It required time
cad oneoDPof ul management;, under the
Act, to rbmovo thio displeasure. By
ond-by, perhaps, the creditors of the
?Stato' mJght have come to regard it
with favor, more particularly those of
6hecfe who might, have become eon
vinoed^ that it was the best that the I
State?'ooold do, was honestly meant,
and wbnld be faithfully executed. For I
it must be remembered that the efli
?eieut working of tho Aot must depend '
aot upon ourselves, but upou those
who are interoBt?d'lo whatever benefits
it is likely to yield them as creditors.
Mr. Ourdozo seejsa to think that it was
? stupendous financial feat to-frame an
Aot of this kind. But it is a simple
thing-, tho tender of fifty oants -in the
?dollar for one hundred cents, and the
eubseqnent oconrity and payment of
4be interest on" -the reduced. amount.
Toe idea is iptigtnal or/efeifcog. in
anyway. Tie^wfialoii for interest
is something not difflonlti ? What
is difficult jfljffiqget f^/
get oottseoHwJ^lf^
come info
that it ia qopif?Df?^ 0U/;^aY part and
the besfc (hey can ao in the cue. The
maintAined^/depeods upon the amount
.gain to it. Tho-.road to conciliation
of its' provision*, lies', only through'
bon^abl^ .axe-,
?cation of-lMlewi-''
(they say, that creates the trouble.
CheeU. .
Talk of ohoek! This is the latest
end greatest instance of it; taken from
yesterday** Union-Herald;
?'Its files (the Dies of the Phoenix)
may bo "searched in vain for a single
instance of bold, manly and persistent
opposition to any one of the many
schemes of pnhlio plunder that have
disgraced the Domooratio party and
reduced the State to bankruptcy."
That, indeed, they may. It is news
to os, and news to tbo country, that
tho Democratic party of this State has
ever beun engaged in any scheme of
pnblio plbnder. The Demoorats re
dnciug the Statu to bankruptcy I Wus
it the Democrats againat whom a
lender* appeared in the Port Boyal
Commercial, in Junuary of last year,
advising tbe tax-payers to fo/m a
league, to bo bound by a solemn plcdgo
not to pay any State tax, and not to
buy any property sold for taxes at a
tax t,ale? "Eaoh man," wo read in this
article, "should be made to feel that
be is engaged in a patriotic effort to
free himself and his State from a horde
of despioable tyrants." Wore Demo
orats meant by this horde of despicable
tyrants? "Unless," it concludes,
"some plan of the kind is adopted to
prevent the annual filling of tbe coffers
in* Columbia, no reform is possible.
As long as $2,000,000 a year are sent
ttjere by tbo tax-payers to bo divided,
tbe Barne, parties will be on bind to
take it." Who are wo to understand
hereto be "tux-payers"," and who tbe
??parties" ready to snatch the proooeds
Of taxes from the treasury? It is idle
to bandy' words with a writer who
does not know bis own mind bettor
than tbia?who has the assuranoe to de?
nounce as plunderers of the treasury
and destroyers of- the titate'a credit,
those whom, a few month-] ago, be
sought to arooBe from their patience
in paying taxes and submitting to or?
ganised robbery, into manly, deter?
mined and systcmatio resistance to
their plunderers.
It is not of muoh use, but it is pro?
per, to correct the insinuation of the
Union-Herald as to oar objections to
the Act relative to the deposits of the
public monoys. First of all, public as
the matter is represented to have
boon, our attention was in no way at?
tracted to it until we received the
Governor's veto. We do not remem?
ber even to have seen it. Again, in
our comments, we had in view the
purpoBQ mainly of com mending the
action of tbo Governor, and not of dis?
cussing, or, in the phraseology of tbe
Unien-Herald, tearing the bill to pieces.

Under the title "Fonr in Hand;" a
correspondent givea the following de?
scription of equipages that may be
seen in New York: "A panic in -New
York is seen more readily on the road
than elsewhere. When times sre good
and speculation sharp, common men
indulge in tbe extravaganoe of fast
trotters and foor-iu-hands. A loog
ion' of reverse in Wall street drives
snobs buoV. to tbe haokney-ooaoh or
their feet, Those who drive through
Central Park will meet to-day with but
one four-in-hand. This is driven by
Col. Obarles H. Delevan, a son of tbe
late Gen. Delevan. Tbe turnout ist
worth looking at. Four blaok horses,
worthy of an Emperor; gold-mounted
harness; driver and footman in cos?
tume, each weariog a sable fur oape;
with every extravaganoe known to a
gay Parisian turnout, mark this estab?
lishment. Oar wealthy men do not
deal muoh in horse flesh. Jay Gould
indulges in a private coupe, in which
he rides down town. William B.
Astor, I presume, was never on tbe
road in bis life. Till within a few
years, he invariably walked to bis busi?
ness and to his homo. He has grown
very stout and heavy, stoops, and puts
bis foot down with a thud. He comes
to Prinoo street in a heavy lum?
bering coach, and stops a few
blocks off from bis office. One
might set bis watoh at his going
oat, eo regular is he. Yanderbilt
takes bis recreation by an afternoon
drive on the Harlem Lane. He is as
regular as the tower-olook in all he
does?riding, walking, eating, sleep?
ing. Bain or'shine, oold or hot, at a
given hoar he goes on to the road. He
drives a higU-oot three-quarter bnggy,
and a thin, under-sized horse, that has
the speed in him. No matter who is
in his house, at a given hour he takes
his oandle and goes to bed. A man
worth $80,000,000 con go to bed when
he has a mind to. Moses Taylor, whose
dividends in coal and railroad stock
are said to have reached $1,000,000 on
the 1st of January, does not ride at all.
He keeps a/carrtage for ' his wife, ne?
os uaei?ear?iago is part ofau establish?

It is said he .keeps a duplicate ooi of

Aceuevkd.?Although the days of irra?
tional medication ore happily passing
away, and intelligent physicians hare
ceased to measure the supposed effica?
cy of a remedy by the violence of its
effects, there still linger among too
old praetitioners a few of those predi?
lections in favor of "heroic" treat?
ment, which it would be locky for
their patients if they had ubaudoned.
One of these is a fondness for adminis?
tering drastic purgatives, such as blue
pill, calomel, jalap and castor oil. A
contrast of the effects of .these drenoh
iug drugs, with the mild and benefl
ount operation of Hostettcr's Stonincu
liitterH, is the beat argument that oan
bu addnood against the wisdom oi
such destructive treatment. The old
fashioned cathartics convulse the
dtoaiaob, and relax the bowels ho ab*
rubtly and copiously as to weaken
thorn. Hostet ter'n Bitters, ou the con?
trary, nover gripe tbn iutcstiues, but
produce a laxative effect resembling
the action of nature. At the same,
timo they remove the cause of consti?
pation, by arousing tiie dormant liver
to secreto the bile necessary to the
regular performance of the execretive
funotiou, and enables the stomaoh to
thoroughly digest tho fond. Indiges?
tion and billiousness hoving been thus
overcome, a regular habit of body is
the neaossary cousoquonce, which the
occasional subsequent uro of the Bit?
ters renders permanent. Every disa?
greeable symptom which, in the ab?
sence of perfect digestion aud evacua?
tion, harraasea the system, vanished
under the influenco of the great na?
tional stomachic and alterative. Health
and vigor are twin blessings that fol?

Of the Oivil Rights Bill, members
acknowledge that it may make as
much trouble in tho North as in the
South, and that it may, if shrewdly
used, become a powerful weapon in
Demooratio hands to stir up disgust
against the Republicans daring next
year's canvass, because the law oan be
adroitly uted to annoy country tavern*
keepers, and thus raise a prejudice
against the party which passed it. It
is believed that in a great many cases
it will bu evaded, and that it is more
likely to beoomo a dead letter than an
enforceable and useful law.
[New For* Herald.
The mail steamer Hibernian, which
arrived at Halifax last week, from off
George's Island up to Canard's wharf,
had to force her way through new ice.
Several times she had to baok and get
headway. A large number gathered
on the wharf to witness the spectacle,
while hundreds walked along on the
ice. Many persons went close enough
to touch the vessel's sides; othere
walked or skated ander her bows on
she forced her way np, and some
willing hands laid hold to push her
along. Saeh a soeno was never before
witnessed in Halifax harbor.
As a gentleman was about leaving
the Boston Mnsenm at tho close of tho
performance on Taosday evening, he
stopped to put on his over-shoes, and,
while bending over, felt a sudden pull
at his coat. Thiuking nothing of it,
he passed out, putting on his overcoat
at the door. Tho next morning, on
dressing, he found a> gold watch hang?
ing to the button of his frock-coat.
The watch had evidently boon aaogat
by the chain when he was patting on
his over-shoes, and had been carried
home In that way.
The Washington Republican wants
to know "who was the leader of the
weak-kneed, shilly-shally olique of
oowards in ths party ranks" who voted
against the force bill in the House. It
is probable that the Republican will
find out before long that these "oow?
ards" thought more of their country
than of Grant and the Republicans,
and will make themselves heard in the
future overthrow of the President and
his mouth-piece. The force bill has
unmasked both of them.
Says the New York Herald: "Little
Rbody will not brook Federal inter?
ference, and somehow or other, wars
seems imminent between the State and
the United States, We deprecate hos?
tilities?first of all, because the State
is scarcely large enough for two ar?
mies, however email; though it most
be confessed, that Governor Howard's
bellicose message ia pleasant reading
in these piping times of peace."
