The Governor'* tfesaagc. 1
This is a lengthy and elaborate document, ^
showing care and ability in its preparation.
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

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. S.
