A COLLECTION Of Ootid Tilings, Which We Did I Not Write, lint Stole Frou; Otir Fxclinnges. The Slate's Claim About To lie Pnlil Mr. Gantt Talks About The Matter j Many have been asking for futber ' information as to the collection of | South Carolina's claims against the j federal government since the publication on Sunday of (lie letter from the . auditor of the war department, showing that Senator Tillman's llrst eilort toward the collection of the claims growing out of the war of 1812 had been successful. Secretary of Stace 1 elect Gantt who was enioloyed by Gov. McSwetney and Treasurer Timineriiiaii to cooperate with this Stntc'srepresentatives in congress in pressing the matter speaking of tlie steps already taken yesterday said: "Tli?! promise of an early settlement of at least a portion of these claims is due j principally to Senator Tillman who has been haul at work upon them several | years, and who would have succeeded | In his effort even without the famous Black report, ar that doetinien gave hut little light Upon the claim winch | has been allowed. It is solely a claim for unpaid Miterest upon funds advanced by South Carolina in ttie war of 1SI2, and consequently no vouches or evidence other than the records ol the war department at Washington is n?cessary to sustain our contention It j is simply a question of computing in-j teres. Tne principal was paid in full I about. lHIJO, but no interest was allowed. The net wnich Senator Til 1111:1 in lias succeeded in passing declares that these old payments shall be llrst applied to the settlement of 10 or 1.1 years interest which had accrued at that time, while any amount leniair.ing unpaid at that time shall bo deemed a new principal upon which inter- , ost mult now be paitl. "It is intposs- 1 ible to determine what tliis will uiiiount to without access to the dates of these payments and the original accounts. Senator Tillman's computation llxed the amounts at about .f:t00(), tXKJ, which should Rive South Carolina between $50,000and $75,000 after settling in full the South Carolina bonds held by the Indian trust fund of the federal government. These bonds aggregate $125,001 at their face value, and under the bold redemption laws of South Carolina were refundable at ' 00 cents 011 the dollar into the new I 1 -t! , per cents, "The United States refused this settlement and demand d full face value, repeatedly threatening; suits up >11 them Thus el'ter paying full face valus v.ml accrued interest there is a promise not only of wiping ( 1 out ovr $109,009 of the v.ilid ih lit of | the State, but of sc -tiring quite a 11 it I s 1111 of cash to the State treasury in .addition. "No commission will be paid to any one in the settlement of the claim, and the Stale will gel every | dollar secured. Senator Tillman made this a condition of his w ort- for the ' measure and the result vimli-a'e h:s | judgment. "There are o-her v.ili.l ! claims against l iu'lt'Siiin wI i -1> would rii 11 up liis dent to South Carolina to nearly two million dollars if inteicst should be allowed tothe present time and it is hoped tliat Senator Tillman and the representatives will continue their ell >rts for the settlement of i these e| litus in full."?S'ate. 1'ho universal interest manifes'cd in tin nil it ion of (Japt.
