GovcrnorScoil'sJSpccial Message,
Through the courtesy of a Representative,
from this County, Frank Adamson, we have
received a copy of this extraordinary State
paper. We would like to be able to meet the
Governor's arguments in detail, but have not
the space so to do, and therefore will confine
' our remarks chiefly to the financial part of
the message and meet its arguments, by
arguments drawn from official sources. The
Governor admits that $9,514,000 of bonds
have been issued to raise $2,700,000 in
rnouev. in other words, that for every dollar ;
iii money, the State has given three dollars
in bonds, or tliat the bonds sold at an average i
price of 33? cents on the dollar. In order i
to justify this issue, the Governor gives tire !
following reasons. 1st that the Acts of the <
Legislature, authorized the Financial Hoard ]
to obtain $3,200,000 in money, and did 1
not limit them in the amount of Bonds. 2nd. 1
that the political opponents of the aduiinis- <
tration had so affected the tankers of New <
York, by their threats of repudiation, that I
it was impossible to make better terms. I
To the first statement we have to say that
although the Act of the Legislature did not
limit the amount of Bonds to be issued, yet
it specified for what purposes said Bonds
were to bo negotiated, as follows.
For pny't of In'st on Pub. debt.... $1,000,000 ,
Relief of State Treasury 1,000,000
Redempt'n of Bills Receivable 500,000
Land Commission 700,000 |
Total ? $3,200 000
These^bonds were to be sold at the high- 1
est market rates, and at a price to be agreed
upon by the Financial Board through the :
State's Financial Agent, II. II. Kiinpton of
New York.
Turning to page 102 ot Reports and resolutions
of the General Assembly, for the session
of 18G9-70, we find that ailtcr acknowledging
the receipt of $2,700,000 of State
bonds, Mr. Kcaipt?n credits the State 1
by sales of $300,000 of Bills Receivable, at
70^cents, $210,000; and on page 117 of the
message and accompanying documents to the
Legislature, of 1870 and 1871, we find another
entry of: <;By $700,000 South Carolina
Bonds sold, $490,000. These two en- 1
tries arc dated respectively, September and
October 1SG9, and demonstrate conclusively
that the Bonds of this State were worth at
that time 70 cents on the dollar.
These were the only sales reported up to Oct.
1st, 1870, and at that time Mr. Kimpton
acknowledged to have received only $3,200,000
in State Bonds.
It follows therefore, that the total amount
i. A-i til i i
en Donas mat mouui uuvc uucu josucu m ui-1
der to have raised $3,200,000 in money, j
should have been S t,100.000, as the discount
was only 30 cents on the dollar, which add-ed
to the $3,200,000 would sum up $-1,1 (JU000.
These being the only sales reported, and
these beimr on n of 70 cents on the
dollar, it is bat. just to argue that all of the
other bonds were sold at that price, because j
they were all in the hands of the Fin'l Agt., |
and Governor Scott admits that $9.51-1.000
of bonds have actually been sold. Taking, j
therefore 70 cents as a basis of calculation !
we discover that instead of realizing $3,200,- \
000 in inonoy, $G.859,S00 lias been raised. I
If any of the bonds were sold at a greater j
tfiseount than 30 cents, the transaction must!
have taken place cither before or since Kimp-1
ton's report.?They were certainly not sold j
before, for in Oct. 1SGS Kimpton receipts , i
for ?1,500,000 in bonds, in June 1SG9 for
81,000,000, in September 1SG9 for 200,000 1
niakincr in all $2,7000,000, which, according
0 .
- to his statcmcut he received up to October ,
1st 1870. IIow does this tallcy with Governor
Seot'ts-message ? He says. "Iii the
fall of 1S681 visited New York city for the ! 1
purpose of borrowing money on the credit of
the State on coupon bonds, under the provi- j
sions of the Acts of August 2Gtli 1SGS. 1 J
had the assistance of Mr. II. II. Kiuip-1
ton * * * after much effort I succeeded in ]
borrowing money at the rate of /our dollars j
in bonds for one dollar in currency, and at i
the extravagant rate of IS per cent a year !
for the money loaned.
Take Sir. Kimpton's report first above rc- j
fbrreA to and compare that statement with;
the Governor's, llccollcct that the Govern- I
or had Mr. Kiuipton's assistance, and tliut i
Mr. Kimpton had $1,500,000 of bonds at!
that time, and yet not a single bond was sold j
* * r? />r\ ? /> i.
until Septemucr louo, as iur as wu nave any
evidouce; and although, on page 5 of the
special message we see the Governor saying:
"Indeed this very act in unmistakable language
excludes the Executive from all control
over the negotiation of loans," by imposing
that duty upon the Financial Agent, yet
we find him on page 7 saying: "I visited
York for the purpose of borrowing
money on State coupon bonds," and ofeffecting
a loan after much cfTort -and judicious
management.
If therefore the 80,514,000 of bonds were
issued under the negotiations made by the
Governor in the fallof 1SG8, they arc void by
his oivn confession, and he is alone, responsible
for their issue since the. hue forbade hie having
any control over State Negotiations. If
they were negotiated after August2Gth 1S70 1
thev aro equally void under the samo law. 1
If the negotiations were made in the full of ^
1868, where were the bonds from that time i
up to the time when Kimpton received them, I
:ilul why were they not all sokl on a basis of
70 cents to the dollar' and when were they
issued and sold are questions concerning
which the Governor is silent. As to the
second justification, wo admit that at that
time the Republican party had just come
into power with an overwhelming majority;
that the bankers of New York city knew
this fact, that it was also within their knowledge
that there was no reasonable possibility
that the Democratic party woirkT come into
power in South Carolina for many years
to come; that they were also cognizant of the
fact that the entire property of the State
was bound to pay all bonds issued under au-1
.1 f .1
Uioruy OI ll.'C Olilif iiuu uiuv viiw j
Legislature was in full aec'6rd with the Governor
and- liis administration, and had the j
power to create an issue of State Bonds for
any purpose of State Government whatever.
Knowing these things, how can Governor
Scott seek to make the people believe that
the New York Bankers were afraid to touch
State Bonds ? IIow did he manage to inter....
I
est Mr. Cameron in bohalf of his mission,, if
Mr. Cameron of this State,(and an influential
man among the New Yorkers, it being thro'
him that the loan was effected.) whose property
would be taxed to help pay the loans, |
[lid not know that the bonds wore good, and
that he could advice his friends to invest in
them without fear of repudiation ?

Letter From St. Louis.
Dear Journal:
It has been snowing incessantly
for the past twcnly-four hours, and
is already more than one foot in depth, putting
thcVtrcctsin capital condition for sleighing.
The air is filled with the merry music
of the sleigh-bells, but now that night lias
closed in, the whole face of nature is as calm
?..,i ,i.;0 t
rt? U iiii.iiiLj aim HUM utio ?|uivv} x
find my thoughts running afar off to dear
old Camden. So I determined to fashion
them into a New Year's greeting to you all ?
I had a delightful peep at your Journal nut
long since, and was delighted to find that it
fell into such energetic and efficient hands.
Go ahead, with our best wishes, and make
the Journal an ornament to ever}'household.
Who do you think is here, in our 7ery
midst? Ilis Imperial Highness the Grand
Duke Alexis, with his whole suit of uupronouncablc
Russians, ile is remarkably hand
some?tall well made and a man every inch
of him. The St. Louisans have not been
slow in their recognition of royalty; he is,
(together with his attendants,) magnifieiently
feted at the Southern Hotel, where his
formal reception took place. The crowd here
wxs simply immense, and for a while resembled
a college rush rather than a continuous
respectful gathering. Alexis grasped every
one by the hand and gave each one a hearty
pressure with his iuiuienso Ducal digits. The
Mayor and city Officials have towed him
around town acting the officious to perfection
in an elegant Clarance, drawn by four
lnatehluBS black*, httrnoss moUHTctl ill Solid
gold. He was surprised at our public buildings,
and especially pleased with our mercantile
library, its valuable collection of books
mill iimnt.iii<r*. lit* also took tlic liveliest in
tercsfc (as ii' lie could do otherwise) in watching
the gigantic work on the bridge now in
course of construction which will soon span
the waters of the mighty Mississippi llivcr.
Examining the Iron Works in foil operation
was very interesting to him; but lie wound
up the lirst day by visiting the Olympic Theatre
to gaze upon the fair, "Lydia Thompson'
and her golden-haired Blondes in scanty
clothing. The famous burlesque of "Blue
Beard" was performed with good effect.?
Alexis was charmed with the dancing and
brought his big hands together in repeated
encores. The lair Lydia reaped a fiue harvest
by the Prince. Seats were rapidly
sold at S3 each and the house was jammed.
Tomorrow evening the grand ball takes place,
and no p_ins nor expense have been spared
to make it a brilliant affair. There will be a
stiff contest between the decent few and the
shoddyitcs, for the ascendancy, as every man
is entitled to his ticket, provided he pays
his fifteen dollars, and five dollars extra for
each lady. But 1 must bid adieu to the
Grand Buke, or you will fancy me gone mad
over royalty, with the rest of my country.?
Prom here he goes with General Sheridan
on a big Buffalo Hunt across the plains, and
if any one could penetrate his .Russian heart,
no doubt it would point to the bunt as the
pleusautcst feature in his American visit.?
How shall I begin to tell you, in so limited
o *!?"* / ? flin irr/iwfli nml iiiinnirninAnfu
this truly ureal city; the bright fut ure which
is destined ibr her; her immense buildings,
towering uji on every side; hev wealth, population
and enterprise, and when you remember
that St. Louis is still in her infancy,
what great developments are yet to be made.
Should you over feel Westwardly inclined,
honor us with your presence, aud though 1
can not promise you the same ovation as was
made to llis Imperial Highness you will,
nevertheless be amply repaid tor a long and
tedious travel.

but I shall only see him as ''Lear" he
is said to be the greatest impersonation of
that remarkable character, now living. On
the loth, Christine Nillson appears in the
ltalion Opera with over one hundred in the
troups and our most cherished hope will be
realized, fehc will make a most beautiful
' Margnroifc" in Faust. She will sing at

and tastefully finished off.

Among the recent sentences pronounced
by the Versailles court-martial, is that which
condemns to imprisonment for life, in a fortress
beyond the sea, M'lle Lauise Michel a

She is accused of fighting in uniform
for the Commune, and of writing articles

About three weeks ago there shd'denly
appeared on a window pane in San Francisco
the picture of a man's face. The report
of the ghostly apparition caused great excitement.
Thousands went to see it, and
finally an enterprising showman, theBarnuni
of the city, bought it for 8250. The next
day spiritual photographs on window panes
were plenty. There were masculine faces
and female faces and dog fuc. s, and pictures
of roses and various other things, and they
were all offered for sale at 8250 a piece. The
market was overstocked. Thcexecss of supply
killed the demand entirely. V e see that
the same wonderful manifestation is now occurring
at Salt Lake City. The window
panes there are blossoming into life-like
portraits?two or three of them to a pane.?
When the maker has reaped a harvest by
the popular credulity, he will probably come
farther East, and by next summer we may
expect to hear of wonderful portraits of people
burned to death in Chicago appearing
on windows of the buildings whicf* will by
lint time cover their proves v
