It is devoted to tho finances of the State, giving a history of the debt, and recommending a plan by which it may he managed. A pleasing feature of it is the absenefc of the buncombe with which Gov. Moses sometimes opens his messages. In this one, he pro-?.ceeds ijroiediatcly fo business. He tells the -i members of the Legislature that "an extraordinary" occasion had called thcin together, and that the) must face grave responsibilities. In this he is right. The present emergency is serious, the debt of the State is enormous, and something^)ust lie done with it; a large part of the debt is undoubtedly fraudulent, and the Supreme Court has ordered the j 11 - " "aaIIAAI I nfnrAUt, 1 L'ompirouer-ucncriii i<? ..ui^w on bonds coming under t his condemnation. The Legislature uiust act promptly and wisely, or the Stale is bankrupt. The (rovernor ; says^'that the present bonded debt represents in great part, the exemption of the people of the State from high taxation during four years, commencing in 1SGS." This sounds strange. The taxpayers think, and think rightly] too, that they have been taxed vert/ heavily during the said four years; and if i - ? 'tlnl-u it Vinu hpfin liaht \re nis rjAVOllCUV,^ mum., .V ...... .v.?, .. tremble at the thought of what must be his ideaofAeary taxation. The great complaint of our people has always been that, although they were paying taxes several times heavier than any which had beeu assessed before the advent of the Reconstruction government. the State was constantly being involved in a bonded debt. The bonded debt docs not then represent j immunity from high taxation. The ' rovern-: up correctly, that the people of South Carolina cannot stand the burden which ; would be imposed them, if compelled to j meet the debt in its present proportions. If the debt cannot be paid, what then ? The 1 ghost of possible repudiation haunts his Ex* celleocy, and he asserts that no one, Eogis later or private citizen, would fur a moment entertain the idea of bringing reproach upon the fair fame of our State, by refusing i to pay its just obligations. Wc do not think that any of our sober and sensible people wish repudiation. On the contrary, they will do all in their power to pay the honest debt of the State ; but they are unwilling to bear the burden of obligations, which have J never benefitted any but those who issued j them and applied the proceeds to private , purposes. The Governor, after careful and 1 patient investigation, finds that the Bonded ' I>cbtof the State amounts to 815.851.G27.35. ; Of thisthe Aute-Kecnustructiuii debt is 83.7fll.713.41?the Fust-iieoon&t ruction debt is the whole large balance. The Kepublican govern me it of South Cn-lina must therefore answer for an innv.ise in the public 1 debt of 812.USD.! !.'? !'t 1 his the Governor pruceetisJn do. succes.-1'ully as to some, un- i successfully as to others. A large part of . the bonded debt consists of what are called Conversion Bonds. Of these. 87.o7fl.ohU | were issued for the conversion of State sceu- ' rities. The Governor says that 81,fi77,500 j were used in taLing up State securities which I have been cmicelbd; but tliat there are out - < standing Conversion Bonds to the amount 1 i of $5,905,000, which represent nnaetpal; inrrtasf in the debt. His Excellency j says, that it is alleged that these bonds j were hypothecated to secure loans, by or- t dcr of the Financial Board, and. not be- i ing redeemed, became forfeited, and in the . afturiirt oj j?ronf f(, //(. titiilrurt/, tliis state- I muni must be received correct. Fur- i ther, that 8HOO.0OO of the bonds were placed t in the hands of H. II. Kiiupton, and were t used, as alleged, to redeem {<212,000 of ( 8tate capital Bonds. His Excellency, how- t ever, does not say that In* believes either of i these stories, and. judging from his language, we have no idea that he does. At the pros- : 1 eut extra session of tin- legislature, Htpre- t (tentative Tiui llurle\ stated in u speech, on r the floor of the House, that over Fin Mil- \ > 1-.I. ..... U 1., IV..,.. IKPil UI IIICMJ IIMIlUn iiau mvvif mwr m ih'uj uiv 1 State: that he had ascertained, while in j New York. IVoui the American Hank N ?te : Company, that they had printed over 821,- t 000,000. of the bond* <d' the State iu nine- J t teen days, and there had been no order to at<.p, and no limitation to the amount. There is. in addition to the Honded debt, 0 a Floating debt ot the State amounting to j f 85.300.377.75, consisting of Interest on '| bonded debt, l'ay Certificates, etc. The to- i ? tal debt of the State then, according to (rov. f Moses, reaches the enormous sum of j tI mm m 10 Now. the <|uestiou for the ? government. as it cannot pay the debt, is w hat shall he done with it; and to its solution ' I *' the (iovernor addreuee himself He goes. f\ Lt some length, into an interesting review of I lie financial history of Indiana, Michigan, ind Illinois; showing that when these States i ad become hopelessly involved in debt by the usue of bonds in aid of visionary rail road md canal schemes, they effected honorable compromises with their creditors, and have gained a healthy financial status; while on he other hand. States which have neglected heir debts, are constantly becoming more nvolved. and gradually falling into bankruptcy. He then recommends a plan by which ~ south b'aronna may uuuuu renci. nun-u. m brief, is this : That the Legislature provide for scaling the public debt; that all persons holding bonds or stocks of the State, urho may be icllliiifi to do so, may exchange the sauic for certificates of stock equal in value to to a certain per centagc of the face-value of fuch bonds or stocks, and that the bonds or stocks, so exchanged for, be cancelled; that flic faith, credit and funds of the State be solemnly pledged to the payment of the interest and principal of these certificates; and that a certain tax be levied every year, and the proceeds of it be placed in the hands of Commissioners, who shall be be bound, under the penalty of felony, to apply such tax to the payment of the interest, and a portion of the principal every year. If this scheme is carried out, and the per centnge fixed low enough to reduce the debt, it will be a great relief. But, if any of the State Bonds are fraudulent and without consideration, is it not the duty of the Legislature to declare them null and void? Is it i jm<t*that their holders should be put on a equality with those who have paid full value for the Bonds which they hold? Cancel.1 the illegal debt." and then offer a liberal com promise to bona fide creditors. His Excellency then defines taxation, and comments upon the systems of taxing iu the feudal ages, and among the Hebrews, the Athenians and Romans, and compares ante bellum South Carolina with its fiscal system at present. The argument is advanced that taxation is desirable and beneficial, and Peeuis is quoted to show that, as the clouds draw up the moisture from the earth to send it back in refreshing showers, so the Government absorbs a small portion of the revenue of each individual to form a vast fund to be used for thc'gcneral benefit. We are willing to admit that some taxation is a necessary evil, but that it is in any way desirable, wo deny. 'The cloud of taxation, which has so long hung over us, has absorbed a large portion of our revenue, but. unlike the natural clouds,' it keeps it absorbed. and has never, so far as we can see, poured out any fertilizing showers. The State has nothing; of .jl vantage to show in return for what has been wrested from it. The Message, as a whole, is ab'e anil temperate, and shows a disposition upon the part of the Executive to work for the public good. If the Legislature will carry out the recommendations of the Governor, with a conscientious regard for the people's interest, brighter times will soon eouie. We shall wait and look fur this, and hopo for the best, feeling satisfied however, that if repudiation and bankruptcy do come, the tax payers of the State are not responsible. The Legislature has done nothing of importance since its meeting on the Ulst. except to pass the act which was accidentallypurposely h*t. at the last session, taking from tho (Jomptroller the power* to levy taxes to pay interest on the public debt. The time has Wen spent in discussing plans for liijuiilatiug the public d' lit, and in trying to is ?ue another Ft of worthless Rills Receivable. The temper of I In; body is encouraging. Tilt* 4 onnl> Debt. We copy on our fourth page, this week, IVoui the A'n.<!i<itr (in'.'itt'. the Report of the I'ounty Commissioners for Kershaw Coun- : y. for their past fiscal year. The importance of the information there- j in cotitallied, to our readers, is our excuse br taking up so much room with it. From he Report, it appears that checks have been .--ued during the past year to the amount d" 31-1.171.73, of which sum 3(1.1 til 20 have wen paid Ly the ('ninnty Treasurer, leav. ng a balance, due of 8K,0l.'{, 23. In addii-m to this there is an oft debt of the, 'ounty. not met by the last Deficiency Tax. f about 815,000; so that the whole of the Vunt) debt is now 311013 23 The aniiiul amount levied for County purposes is Thru Mills on the dollar, which realizes in Kershaw the sum of 87,."iOO, It appears hen. that the animal expenses of the Conn y arc thmlih its regular income from taxai'Hi, so that it uiust inevitably run largely n debt, unless expenditures are curtailed. It s but just tn say. that the cheeks from 1 to !7. inclusive, were issued f>r debts con traced by the previous Hoard of 1 'ommissioiirs. as we are informed. It seems to us. judging from the Hi port inder consideration, that our County is run n u very expensive scale, us it is cotnparit ively small, and poor, and unpretentious, lie administration of Justice costs us much lore heavily than anything else. Our Trial ustices endeavor to wave the County as' iffeh expense as possible; but there is a reat deal of litigation in their Courts. | inch of it useless, which the County has to I r.y h?r, We have not space to comment u (her cm this Report, und close by warning I V t the Commissioners that, unless they are more cautious in the future, the County debt will soon be as unmanageable as that' of the State. (Communicated.) North Carolina before Columbus was Born. LECTURE OP HON. A. M. WADDELL. This distinguished gentleman delivered his lecture on the ante-Columbian history of North Carolina, at Wake Forest College, N. C., on the evening of October 15th. He was listened to with profound interest by his intelligent audience; and all were impressed with the extent and accuracy of his archaeological researches. Mr Waddell insisted that 500 years before Columbus was born,- the Irish discover oil and settled North Carolina, and called it G'reut Ireland. In support of this somewhat startling proposition, the lecturer showed that the Esquimaux informed Lief, the son of Eric the Red, in the year A. D. 1,000, that white men lived South of Chesapeake Bay; that the chronicles of Ireland prove that, at thirf early period. Christian uien inhabited Hvitrauiannaland?the White Man's Land?now North Carolina; that when Aniadas and Barlowc visited Roanoke, in the year 1584. they found among the aborigines children with blue eyes and auburn hair?proving their Caucasian descent; and that the natives of this region spoke the Gaelic language and claimed that some of their ancestors were white men, and talked in a book." The future historian of the State was urged, before entering upoq his pious task, to examine with care the records of Northern Europe, the contemporaneous narratives of voyages, and the archmology of the lceanders;and he would most assuredly find, by the aid df these Northern Ligbta," that the history of the old State begins long before tho period usually assigned to it. An eloouent appeal was made to the .State pride of his hearers. Ilypsometry had shown that Carolina's mountains were loftier than any others East of the Mississippi River; Geology had proved that the first gold ever deposited was to be found in her sediments; the testimony of the rocks hud established the fact that created life made its first appearance within her borders; and now, to complete her glory, we find that she was the first dwelling place of Europe-^ ans on this continent. In conclusion, the speaker said he felt a double interest in his subject; for, besides being an enthusiast in his devotion to his native State, he cherished an ardent affection fur the Emerald Isle, whence his forefathers came; and when, vindicating Xorth Carolina, he once called her tho Ireland i j ofthe Union, little did he then think he was j only giving the old State her true name?the name she bore nearly one thousand years before. lie trusted that the American Ireland might never be culled to experience the conlurics of woo which had bocn the lot of her trans-atlantic mother; but whatever j might befall her. he prayed that she might I imitate the constancy and courage of that; devoted island, which had given to the i world its most brilliant orators, and its most j splendid soldiers, and whose deathless pa-, triotism would survive until liberty itself | should die.
