M IP' Tho proceedings of the railroad con- ( sa vention held at Warm Springs, will be co found in another column. We will ra premise what we have to say in refer- ed ence to the doings of the convention,! vt by remarking that it was calltd main- la ly for the purpose of consultation and be ? producing concert of action among the * r'^rfrtends of tho Great Northern and Southern Narrow Gauge railroad. In this view, the meeting was a complete u' success. Delegates were in attendance ^ from the various states along the line, ^ and all manifested an earnestness and w zeal in the enterprise, which indicates ci complete success. From Lake Eric to oi Portsmouth on the Ohio river, the route of the contemplated road passes centrally acrcss the great state of Ohio, S(J from north to south, tiaversing the .sa Scioto valley, the richest agricultural domain in the state, aud comparative- ^ ly destitute of railroad facilities. Cross c, ing the Ohio river at Portsmouth, the j w route from that poiut to the Pound oj Gap in the Cumberland range of ^ mountains, a distance of over one hun- y dred and fifty miles, penetrates the L richest mineral and coal deposits to be found any where in the United States. ^ That portion of the line has been accu- t| rately surveyed, and the coal beds w along the route are supposed to be al- 'f most iuexhaustible. These rich mineral and coal deposits, lie undeveloped y to-day for the lack of railroad faeili- I': ties, which this projected railroad will cl supply. The traffic in coal alone is n" becoming more and more important yj every year. Sometimes a huudred or II more cars are seen in one train, pass- 1 jj ine over the western roads loaded with * ai coal. It is believed that five thousand acres of these rich coal deposits, A thoroughly worked would yield a profit !s of ten millions of dollars, a 6utu nearly tn Knilil nn/1 rnnln l.hp.

J The proposition regarding the public debt. 1 Columbia, S. C., Oct. 30. 1 Perhaps the most noteworthy event >f the week, has been the sudden arriva] ind as sudden departure of the ''cberu- ( lie Kiinpton, who it is understood, :laims still to be the financial agent oT :he state, on the ground that the state has never made any settlement with him. [t evidently became too warm for him in the lower house ^yesterday, upon the floor of which he was, and the temper of the members of which he could not have possibly understood. A resolution came up, which was debated at length by the heavier logicians, to instruct the attorneygeneral, to proceed against Mr. Kimpton, for the purpose of ascertaining, what he had done with the bonds that were purchased with the proceeds of the sale of the land scrip, donated by congress to the state, on condition that the revenue arising therefrom, should be applied to Ln tnnnnrt of an nirrieultural college. Mr. Hurley became very much in earnest, apparently, while endeavoring to track the crooked course of this very crooked transaction, and made the assertion that if the legislature empowered him he would cause the arrest of the cherubic before nine o'clock that night. The cherubic, who sat in the southeast corner of the hall, showed no outward signs of fear, and looked bland as is hi8 wont; but last night he vanished, whether or not through intimidation and fear is only surmised. To-day the senate entered with a general discussion of the concurrent resolution, during which there were many funny things said; the senate very properly killed it, on the ground it may be said, that it was not only a blank cartridge, but was aimed in the wrong direction. In fact, regarding this transaction, the majority of the members" appear to be pretty much in the fog. Of one thing, there can be no question even now that the bonds and scrip have passed beyond the reach of the stale?or more properly beyond the reach of the trustees of the agricultural college; that is. that the stale having solemnly pledged itself to congress, to apply the annual revenue of what the donation produced to the object named, it has got to pay the juterest on $ 192,000 ol its bonds 111 winch the proceeds of the sa!o were iuvostcd. To do this, it will be necessary to make an additional appropriation every year. There is uo gelling away fioui this. AVhat the legislature desires, however, is to dud out who is to blame. Some blame the financial board, who Kimplon says, ordered hiin to hypothecate the bonds, and thus they passed "beyond his control," but the hoard deny that they give him any such instructions, and 1 souic of the members assert that when a settlement between the board and the agent was being sought, the latter tried to charge up as indebtedness against the state the very bond< lie bought with the land scrip money, and which it had Ikjcii asserted the trustees could not procure from him, becau -c they had passed beyond his control; in view of lie agents report to the comptroller-general for that year, this statement look very strunge, as he counts the larger portion of these bonds as "on hand." Regarding the coupons of the bonds in question, which, it was agreed had been cut off, the way they were lost were explained by the reading of a letter from the cx-trcasurer in which it was stated that the coupon? had been forwarded by the agent among a lot of others, and w. re cancelled with theui, there being no distinguishing feature about them to show that they were cut from the bonds that were to support tlio agricultural college, and m tact, no [ knowledge that sueli was the fact, untilabetter was received, dated Nov. I, and mailed November 25, (alter the treasurer had destroyed them) in which it was mildly stated that they were the supporting coupons. This is the way they arc said to have passed into eternity,?or the ciutchesof the cherubic. During the debate, Mr. Whitteinore made the remarkable statement, if anything can be considered remarkable these days, that the high joint committee in their investigating report, had hot given all the in- ! formation they obtained, and that he had affidavits that would show up many had transactions, among these statements was one that the agent had stated, he sold the scrip for seventy-two cents per acre, when there was proof that he received seventy-six per acre. Again it is held by some of the senators, and of course by so ne of tlie old financial board, that the trustees are the proper parties to bring to account, because they did not secure the proceeds of the scrip? the state bonds?when tlicv could have done hi. It is more tliau probable that ihis tangled matter will be ferretted to the bottom, and that a joint resolution j will he the result, which will cover the whole matter. At present it is a perfect shooting at random, but evident that one of'the shots struck pretty near, from the fact of Kiuiptoii's little hurry out of town. The house has used several hours daily in committee of the whole, discussing the financial condition of the state. No results were arrived at, and tiiere appeared to be little of plan suggested; more of a kind of regretting what had occurred, than taking any definite steps towards relit f. Quite a number of hills have licen introduced hut of no general importance, save a joint resolution toprovide for the payment of the expenses of the session. The committees are trying to think up some means of relief. It is more than possible that a large part of the floating debt will be disposed of by baling aud payment out of the first taxis. 'J he state finance committee have discussed the bouded / debt question horouglily, and coucluded that definite iction upon the same was peremptorily Ieiuanded. To get at the shortest way, md the most effective, a subcommittee vas appointed from among the members >f the finance committee, aud instructed jo trao\p bills, to deal with each class of bands separately; the argument used for the purpose of settling all alike, was throwu overboard immediately as being impracticable. The committee will most probably report a bill shortly, which will refuse the payment of the six mil ion of conversion bonds, now commonly spoken of as having been fraudulently issued. The contested senatorial case from Orangeburg county, is attracting but little atlcntiou, although such an array of counsel was never seen engaged in this state in any such case. The claim of Byas to the seat in which Judgo Andrews has been put on prima facie evidence is considered to be rather flimsy. Hon. J. L. Neaglcnnd Senator Fatterson returned from their northern trip last evening. Senator ir malls and Swails, two of the workers in the senate, have been called away upon important matters in their respective counties. The vacancies in the professors chairs are being tilled; Dr. Vampill of Marion, his been elected to fill that of professor Fajjcr. Mr. Richard Theodore Greener, was elected to fill the chair of mental and moral philosophy, made vacant by the resignation of Professor LaBorde. Mr. Greener is the first colored graduate of Harvard University. Cambridge, .?:ass.

Gen. La Rue Harrison, special agent of the money order department of the post oilice, has been inakiug a lour of inspection throughout the west. Referring to the effect of the panic upon the money order system, he said that the orders paid in St. Louis rose to the amount of $21,000 in one day during the panic, and they now average $10,000 a day, while liirincrly the average was only about $10,000. lu Cincinnati $10,000 a day is the average, against $0,000 formerly. In Chicago the number oi orders rose from about 1,000 a day, amounting to f.otu $14,000 to $18,000. io 2,000 a day, amounting to about $.54,000. A similar increase had taken place throughout the rest of the couutry. With respect to the projected post-office savings bank, which President Grant said that ho would recommend in his next annual message. Gen. Harrison said | tha? during the p&uic a large number of offices held back their surplus funds,,instead of sendiug them to this city, from fear that the order* next day would exhaust their funds, the receipts not being equal to the emergeucy. At times, therefore, the New York post office had a very small balance, but all demands had always been met The confidence created by this promptness and safety of exchange through the post office, under circumstances the most adverse, has caused great interest in tho proposition of postmaster-general Crcswcll for a postal savings bank . Gen. Harrison visited Canada last month to examine the workings of the similar institution in the Dominion, which is modelled after the English system. The postmasters at Montreal and Tnrnnl/v wlm am virtually assistant DOSt master-generals, assured liiui that during a long series of years the system had proved highly satisfactory. 1 he plan of the postmaster-general is for Congress to establish a national savings institution, of which all first and second class money order offices shall be branches. In these offices money can be deposited in snms of $5 and upwards, the depositors having the amount regularly recorded in bank books, and the government paying astipulated rate of interest?four per cent, for instance?for the use of the money. This money will be transmitted to the nearest assistant treasurer for deposit, to be used by the treasury department in the payment of the public debt aud current expenses. In this way the poor man like the bondholder, can become a creditor of the government. The immense amount o! money now hoarded in the country by persons who are afraid to deposit in savings bank t but would trust the government, would then, it is said, be put into circulation, and it is also suggested that the treasury would, like certain savings banks, eventually accumulate a large reserve fund from unclaimed deposits. The chief advantages which would accrue to the government from the plan, as urged by its promoters, would be the circulation of money now idle, and the retention in this country of money which would otherwise be sent abroad. The bonds now held largely in Enrope, on which the government is paying six and seven per cent interest, would under this plan be called in as soon as legally possible. The cost of maintaining the system, with the necessary increase of clerks and other extra expenses, is estimated at threefourths of one per cent, on the deposits, the present cost of the money order system being ubout ninc-sixtccutbs of ore per cent.
