THE CAMDEN JOURNAL W.D. TRAXTHAM A J T HA V, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. DECEMBER 4, 1873. Xlit I'ublit* Debt. * We take from the Columbia Union-Herald the following extracts from a letter, written - ' " *T? kv??Rnnd-| to that paper lroui ivn, ~ holder," and professing to give the view taken of the schemes for scaling the public debt by those who chiefly own the bomb : ' Ami the most astonishing thing about it is leading Republicans, blindfold as it were, vote for the Democratic plan of settling the bonded debt, instead of sustaining the Governor's wise plan. That plan would have satisfied everybody. sooner or later. Fifty cents on the dollar would have been looked upon, under the circumstances. as a fair and honorable settlement by the whole world; and yet, to satisfy a 'clique who have been cunning tnouyh to secure the old bond*, many of them at a lt$t price than the iuno' t crut holders of the evuvujioti paid, they arc w illing to blast tho honor of the State, and Republicans v can be found to help the Democrats do that vile titnor?to rrvudiate a d'bt incurred since they have ""'p "" " V bwn >n power, and pay the debt incurred while they were in bondage?a debt made by their masters. The plea is the carpet-baggers made it. No rebellion, no carpet-baggers. They got into power somehow, like Tweed & Co., did here. New Yorkers might as well turn around and repudiate. Most of them would like to, for the , heavy taxes are very hard to pay, and next year they will be three and a half per cent. New Yorkers are too smart to talk repudiation. They wonld injure their credit at home and abroad. They have to borrow money, from time to time, to improve their city, South Carolina cannot go ahead without money. How much will she get of capital and immigration after she repudi- f ates the conversion bonds ? Will the knowing ?.Ka t.ra smartly caught up the old VIICO *f uw r ^ bonds lend her capital? Not a bit; if they know enough to get out when the time comes, and keep out. The people of South Carolina hare allowed to be pushed off at the North and other parts, her bonds, issued by her officers, or those whom the public supposed to have power from the State, and the State should pay all alike. A bankrupt State should act fair and square to all , her creditors, the same as a business firm. There should be no preferred creditors. No better plan than Governor Moses' could be adopted for^thc credit of the State, and, of course, the only object South Carolina has in settling her debt is to be able some day to hold her head up ns an honorable member of the Union, and be able to command her share of immigration ar.d capital. This she could do by settling fair and square all round. Let her pay fifty cents, forty or even twenty-five cents, but serve all alike, and if it's the best she can do, the world will give her credit for acting with fairness and honesty. All the world expects, and all the law demands from a bankrupt is to showwhat the es'ate can pay. anil creditors are generally all willing to done: but whenever any creditor is yreferrd that makes trouble, and the law, as it now stands, don't allow it. As for any meetings of the Chamber of Commerce, or any other body at Charleston, this is all news to the unfortunate holders of the conversion bonds. I have made many inquiries of brokers in Wall street, and bondholders, and I have yet to see the person who had the slight*^ idea that the bonds Mould t?c doubted. Moot of the conversion bonds were old at th? tita? ILimptou was paying tho interest in gold. He waa known and acknowledged . by 'he brokers in and about Wall street to be the financial agent if South Carolina. How a*.could any one dream that any trwil/U would ccti - iirise about bonds that the financial agent of the - State was paying the interest in gold upon. All this ntust have been nkown by the State officials of South Carolina, and vhy did not they udver ties in New Vork journals, ami warn innocent people of the frauds being committed on them by a person cnUiug himself the State agent? They ut*v! only to have sent word to one or two respcetabl* brokers in Now Vork, and the thing would hare spread al' over the city, and the fraud would have been stopped. They must have known that Kimpton was selling the onJs of South Carolina; yet these gave no word ol warning in New, York, where it was likely .to reach the public. No, they waited until innocent persons North and in Canada bad bought tlu bonds, and now shield themselves on the plea that they held a meeting, and at that meeting they declared that they would not honor the bonds. The fact is, many South, at least the whiles, bare a bitter feeling towards the North, and rejoice at any misfortune that might happen North. No doubt the Neut and Courier has u great interest in the old bonds, but 1 do hope it they pass a bill to repudiate them, the Governor will veto it. It seems very nice to get rid of one's debts in any shape; but those who act honestly iu so doing, generally, in the long run, come out best. The writer, it will he accn, blames the State officials and the Conservatives of the State, for not sounding, the alatnt in reference to the bonds,' which were boin^ fraudulently issued and sold. It was not to be ex. ib.if tlw> former of theso would cau ? tiou the fiuamial public against purchasing bonds, to the selling of which they devoted ail their energies, and in the proceeds of which they were intensely interested. If the writer never heard of "meetings of the Chamber of Commerce, or any other body in Charleston," the fault is entirely his own.? The conservative press spared no efforts to inform the world that fraud was being practised in the issue and sale of South Carolina bonds: and all dealers in that kind of property are presumed to know, at tlfeir own risk, the true status of what they are buying. The truth is. that South Carolina bonds, a few years ago, sold iu New York at very low prices, thus offering an attractive investment, and dealers, knowing .that the credit of so good a State was at their back, and thinking that lbs threat! of repudiation ware j meaningless* talk, bought them and took the consequences. They can not now complain if the investment proves a bad one. A large proportion of the bonds issued were fraudulent. The State received no consideration for them, and, of course, should not pay them. The Republican party in this State seems to have determined that it will no longer shoulder the burdens, which certain of its members have imposed upon it. The House of Representatives has already pronounced the enormous mass of Conversion Bonds to be worthless, fraudulent trash. The State cannot pay its valid debt in full, and therefore offers a fair compromise to its creditors No party desires or advocates repudiation. To avoid this disagreeable necessity is the chief motive for offering a compromise; because if the attempl were made to force the payment of the State debt at it-s present proportions, bankruptcy and repudiation would be inevitable. We are willing to risk the effect, | upon our public credit, of the scheme of adjustment at present contemplated. It has been the habit of certain Republican journals to attribute the present embarrassment of the State to the attacks of the i Conservative press upon the public credit. We are accused of having talked, and charged fraud, and threatened so much, as to cause tho sacrifice of bonds, which might have sold almost at par, in order that the government might obtain the money necessary to I Uo nv!?ti?ina The letter under consideration relieves us of all responsibility in that line, so far, at least as the writer is concerned. The Citizens* Savings Bank. John L. Watson, County Treasurer of York, trought suit against this institution, and obtained from Judge Carpenter a rule to show cause why it should not be enjoined from disposing of its assets and effects, and why a Receiver should not be appointod> which rule was returnable on the 3rd inst. To escape the consequences of this suit, the Bank has gone into Bankruptcy, as appears from the following: Columbia, S. C., December 1. The Ring which had been formed composed of J. L Neagle, Mr. Gulick and others, to swamp the Citizens' Savings Bank and 6?eure the receivership has been flanked The bauk was to-day in the United StateCourt declared a bankrupt on the petition of the president. E. M. Seabrook, the registrar of the court, is given control of the assets of the bank, with power to pay out and receive moneys due. This movement is made to secure the creditors and prevent the assets from falling into the hands of the Ring The assets of the bank, T am credibly informed, are about one million dollars and its liabilities about six hundred thousand dollars ; so mat mere is uo doubt of its ultimate solvency, provided the assets be property managed. It is said that the bankruptcy if only a temporary thing, and that the business of the bank will be resumed as soon a.? i a meeting of the creditors can be had. There wasa big combination to force the bank into insolvency in* the State Circuit Court and the recourse had to the United States Court, to avoid such a calamity, is generally approved by the business community here. , ';Thero were no cases of importance argued in the Supreme Court to day. The Fiftl , Circuit will bo called to-morrow. A number of members of the Geueral As sembly have arrived, and it is probable that t ! quorum will be ou hand at 12 M. to-morrow Qui Vive. , STATEMENT OK T1IE COUNSEL FOR THE BANK The foHowing communication was received ' yesterday by the cashier of the Charlestoc branch of the Citizens' Savings Bank. Ii will be learned with deep regret that coun i sel fur the bank have decided to put it ir bankruptcy, but their names and rcputatior i justify us in Saying that they have taken the most effectual means of protecting the depos , itors. and warrant us, moreover, in urging ' the depositors to hold their claims at leasi , until the promised statement of the condi tion of the bank is published. Kfforts art also making by interested persons to buy, al a heavy discount, claims against] the bank and the depositors who sacrifice their claim.' ' will, in the opinion of the representatives ol the bnnk, be throwing away their money. The Citizens' Savings Hank has to-daj gone into voluntary bankruptcy under out advice. This advice has been given as the most effectual means of protecting the interest of its depositors and other creditors whe can thus, and thus only, have the management and control of its assets, instead ol their being plac^ in tho hands of a receiver, in whose selection they have no voice. The officers of the bank will, at an early day, publish a statement, giving full information of its affairs. Wo would warn depositors arid creditors not to barter their claims to speculators and other interested'parties, as we are informed there exists a most dangerous combination, whoso object is to obtain a controlling in terest, to the destruction of the hank and | the detriment of its depositors We would further advise tho depositor* and en-diii.t> tn retain their claims until tlrti publication above referred to has been made, which, in our opinion will jentity the wii(ioui and policy of the course adopted in fhctr interests, and will ?oij.'<.'CHt a plan which, if heartily co-operated in by depositor* and creditor*, will save thcui from loss. McMantkk a IjK (Jontk, Attorneys for Petitioner. Porn A' H ank em., Bach man & Youmanh, Of Counsel. Columbia, 8. P., December 1, 1H73. William M% Tweed, the notorious lea*lcr of the Taininany fiinj; in New York, has j been convicted of plundering; that city, and sentenced to twelve years imprisonment, and $12,750 fine. 11c had accumulated au enor' mutts fortune by stealing, and the result of his trial, which has been pending for several years, must be satisfactory to every lover of justice. The War. A week ago, the indications were; that war between the United States and Spain was inevitable. Indeed^ taking all things iuto consideration, it was difficult to see how bloodshed could be avoided. The high handed measures of General Burrielin Cuba, and the arrogant maflner in which our Minister was treated by the authorities in Madrid, justified us in the conclusion that the tocsin of war would soon be sounded, that the American Eagle would strike the Spanish Lion, and that the finale would be the annexation of Cuba to the United Stales? thus making the brightest jewel in the crown once worn by Philip the Second a part of our territory. However, the difficulty has been, for tho present, amicably adjusted.? Mr. Fish, Secretary of State, and Admiral Polo, the Spanish 3Iinister at Washington, have agreed upon terms satisfactory to both Governments, as will be seen by reference to an article in another column. CUBAN AND SPANISH AFFAIRS. New York. November 29 The Spanish iron clad Aripales. will be floated out of the dry dock on Monday next, probably. Work was continued to-day by the 2,800 men employed at the Brooklyn navy yard, and there is no decreasing activity in the preparations of war ships. A large force ia on the Colorado, a riff her cable was taken on to-day. Increased activity is noticeable on - "rii i __ 5 a A. the snips Minnesota, rionaa ana owaiarm. The engineering department began this inorathe work of retubing the builers of the monitor Dictator Many mechanics were working to-day on the Roanoke. Captain Ransom tamed over the business of the executive of the yard to Captain Chandler, commander. Captain RanBom has been assigned to the Colorado, which vessel will be ready for sea the latter part of next week. Gnns, anchors, chains, &c., are being placed on board to-day. Work on the Minnesota is progressing rapidly, and she will not be ready before u month. The sloop Florida will be ready about the same time. The Dictator will he ready about the 1st of January. A double leaded editorial in the Timet treats of peace as a foregone conclusion, and praises what it calls the good temper and tact of Admiral Polo and Secretary Fish in having affected it. It adds: "There can be no impropriety in mentioning that Admiral Polo has endeavored, by all honorable means, to bring about a peaceable solution, without forgetting for a moment the claims of hit 1 own country." The Herald's dispatch says: "Secretary Fish has no doubt that the Spanish government will be able to on force its orders restoring the Virginias to the United States Colonial Minister Solor, now in Havana fpill Jin? Ujp lU* orJcn I of tb< ' homo govemntcnt are carried out." All the Washington specials, in the morn1 ? ' il -A ' ing journals, unite in asserting mat npain has conceded to our demands, and peaoe is 1 assured. The Tribune's dispatch says: "The dispatch deciding the gravo question, whethei > there shall be peace or war between the ' United States and Spain, was received bj Mr. Fish to night, and communicated to thi President and Cabinet. It is of?a uaoal ' satisfactory character, and concedes all the 1, demands made by the United Stato. Thess demands, as lieretofore stated, were as fol ' lows: First, the release of the officers and men 1 of the Virginins ; second the return of the Virginius; third tho salute of the flag and provision for the families of the slain captives The only reservation on tha part of Spain is I with reference to firing the salute. To en r.Vtln Fni iico intiojt wmhario 4a Ka mo Am + K ? I Ul/IC IUIUIC I II IUIIO w I/O UJdUV J VIII ^ date for.this PaTute has been .fixed on the . 25tb of December. To provide for the con > tingenoy of Spuin'9 not being able to enforci , the promised concessions, work in naval con , striictinn is not to be interrupted." The Times' dispatch, in addition to the , above, says Spain also agrees to bring t< ; trial and punishment the offioers who perpe. trated the horrible butchery. . Washington, November 29. t The negotiations between the United States and Spain with regard to the ques i tions growing out of the capture of tho Vir f ginius were brought to a conclusion to-day Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo hmv' ing agreed upon and signed a protocol which the latter soon after telegraphed tc : his government. As conflicting statement! . have appeared in the newspapers regarding 1 the intelligence received last night, and alsc . to day, it can now be positively stated that f the terms are substantially as follows: , 1. The immediate delivery to the United States of the ship Virginias and all surviving passengers and crew. 2. A salute to our flag on the 25th of December next, unless, in the meantime Hpain 1 shall satisfy the United States that the American flag was improperly borne on that vessel; and further, that she had no right to tin- American papers: in this event, tho sa lute is to be spontaneously withdrawn, and Spain in to a formally disclaim any intentional indignity to the flag in the acta com miffed by Spain against the Virginius. 3. If it shall tluiHbc shown the Virginius bad no right to carry the American Aug and papers, the Tinted States will institute proceedings against the vessel nnd the surviving parties, whohavo violated the laws of the I nited States, nnd Spain guarantees to institute proceedings against any of her authorities who may huve violated either law or treaty stipulation. 4. The matter of reclamation for damage is reserved for future consideration. In addition to the abovo, it can also be positively stated that within the next two days Secretary Fish and the Spanish, minister will determine the port at which the Yirgin ins and the surviving passengers and crew stall be delivered to the United States. 'I mo words "imuiediaterelea.se," as applicable to the delivery of the Virginius and passengers and crew, implies, of oourae, a reasonable time for ita excution. as some days must elapse before Havana and Santiago de Cuba can b* reached. The agreement is regarded in official quarters as covering all the points of our original j demand, though in a modified form; which r is considered respectful and honorable to both countries. The fixing of the 25th of December, as the time for saluting our flag t is to allow the necessary opportunity to Spain to show that th.o Yirginius improperly carried <j the American flag and American papers.? ? There is a sensible relief in all quarters that " the negotiation has thus peaceably ended. 1 Both Secretary Fish and Admiral Polo had j for two weeks past been engaged in j)roducing this result, on which they receive the i congratulations of their respective Iriends. ( Madrid. >orember 29. . The Spanish Cabinet has agreed to the , delivery to the United States government f I ftiA ateRmahin Virerinius. and all persons remaining alive, who were captured with her, leaving the question whether the seizure of ' the vessel was legal to be settled hereafter, , by a mixed tribunal. The question whether i damages shall be paid to the families or i relatives of the prisoners who were shot, is 1 also .to be settled in a similar manner. This . decision was not arrived at by the government before it had confidentially consulted < with the powers of Europe, and was informed by all of them that reparation was 1 was due for the capture of the steamer and ! the execution of the captives. The deeision ' is also in conformity with'the opinions of leading Spanish statesmen of all parties, to whom the question was submitted by the government. Madrid. November 29. The firing was resumed fiercely at Cartegena by both sides after the termination of the four hours' armistice obtained by the' officers of the foreign squadrons.
