The Escapod Stato Troasurer of South Carolina Makos a Sorrowful Confos sion--Importan . Disclosuros. CIceago Thmes' New York Telegram, 'Spt. 9. The World will print to-morrow, a long and detailed statoiont or con fossion made by Niles G. Parkor, ox State troasuor of South Carolina, but at present living in Jersey City, in which ho makes startling chargos of corruption against ox-Governors MOses, Chamiberlain and Scott, United States Sonator Patterson, Financial Agent Kimpton, and other mmen)hrs of the ring which plundor 0d the Paluetto State of millions. Parker frankly acknowledges his own guilt in all this, since it appears by his statomont that most of the stolen moneys were paid out by him in his official capacity. Ho is now un -er indictment, and professe1 his sorrow for his crimes and readiness to go to South Carolina for trial. His statemlent, if substantiatod, will confirn the former chargos against Patterson, and doubtless load to the indictment of Chamberlain. They arc corrob)rated by a voluminous array of fi uros, dates, circun. stances, otc., in which the connec. tiun of Governor Chamberlain with the fraudulent issuo of bonls scoms mnade cloar. Parker's motive for making the confossion is given by himsolf in his refusal to be mado the reap)o-goat for the crimos of his allies. In the courso of this confession ind arraignniciit of his partners, Ur. Parker says "I don't wish to say anything which may appear like t persond attack upon Mr. Cham btrlain, though I acknowledge that I have been offended by his treat to boing mad~tho scii-oht o 1w0 ring, and I am by no means willing that Chamberlain and Kinipton should foist off any of their load apon my sboulders. I am tired of hoaring what Parker did, and how lie acted in this transaction, and that when I knew that my share in the unquestionlable doings of the ring, from 1868 to 1874, was no greater, to say the least than the other members with whom I acted. During theso six years the corrup tion and peculation increased yearly, and it is idle to attempt to palliatO or deny it. If the preseit investi gation in South South Carolina is )usled, the extent of the corrup tion will be laid bare, and all who woro parties to it will bo b11rought to judgment. I wish it to ho under stood that I do not shrink from this investigation. I desire, rather, that it be made as thorough and search - ing as possible, and I am ready to hold myself resp)onsible for my share in it. "For Chamberlain andl Ki mpton to deny that they were pr'ivy to what was going on is simply ridiculous. Some things undoubtedly Chamber lain hadl no hand inl directly, though they woro (lone dir'ectly under his nose, and( he must have known about them. In other transactions is name did not app)ear, but there can be no question that lhe was conceorn ad in them ini some way. In other cases still he reaped a direct benefit from his co-operations. Take tile case of tile Marine and River Plhos phato Mining Company. The 'shady' transactions connected with the management of this company and tihe bills lobbied through the Legis lature for its benefit are quite gen erally known. The measures by which the interests of its stock hiolder's woero subs)orved in the Leg islature have been p)ublished in the Charleston papers ; but Chamber lain's connection wvith it has not heretofore been stated. .The stock of tihe company was owned largely by members of the ring, anid Chamberlain held one fifth of it. It was $500,000, I believe, in all ; so that Chamberlain's share of the stock wvas $82,000. Tim Hurley, Chamberlain's r'ighit hand man and the treasurer of Charleston county lobblied the bills for its bthon through tile Legislature. . h there was tile Greenvilleoand Cohum~ bia Raiilroad. The bills in connec" tion with the road were notoriously disrepmutable. The capital stoolf'was held in twelve shares, I think, of $25,000 each. Scott, Ne% Pat terson, Chamberlain. Cardozo, Kiupton, Hurley, Crows and my. self were stockholders. I know, also, that Chamberlain received $2,000 direct for his connection with the transaction, which I do not care to yet make public. It was the same transaction alluded to in the letter which Elliott threatened to road in the last nominat.. img convention. He rose in his seat, brandishing this letter, and threatening to make its contents public An agreement was thereupon patched up betwoon him and Cham berlain, and he made the least of his previous threats againsthim." AN OCEANIC HORROR. Terrible Collision in the English chan nol--Two Passenger Steamers Foun-. dered--Nearly One Hundred Lives Lost. LoNDON , September 12.-Tifor mation of a terrible disaster in the English channel has just been re coived. The British ship Avalan che, Captain Williams, fr in Lon don, September 4th for New Zealand collided with the British ship Forest, Captain Lockhart from London for Now York, when off Portland, and both vessels foun derod ; ninety-six persons wore drowned. The Forest was in ballast and had a crow num boring twenty ono. Captain Lock hart, chiof mate and seven others wero saved. The Avalanche had a ,rew of thirty-two and fifty passen gors. The third officer and two seamen only were saved. The Forest struck the Avalancl between the main and mizzen mast, inarly cutting her in two. The tatter sank immediately. Tho Forest though uttorly wrocked kept tfloat an hiour ,r two. Three boats xere launched from her, only one of vhich has yet been saved. It Con ;ained the twelve persons already nontionod as saved. One boat has washed ashore and also several )odios. The other boats it is 'eared are lost. The Avalanche had ,ixty-three passengers-twenty -six ialoon, seventeen second class and wenty third class, mostly colonists. rho accidont occurred at half past line o'clock last night, seven miles A REGISTER OF DRAMS. i7irginia's "Bell Punch" Tax Check on Bar-Tenders to go into use at once. RICLMOND. VA., September 8. 'lio Moffet register, or "bell punch," is it has been improperly called, is low a fixed fact, and on Monday it ivill go into operation in every saloon in this city where alcoholic a malt liquors are sold. It was Rtubbornly fought from its very conception ; first in the Legislature and aftvrward in the courts, ita opponents (the liquor dealerf) re ceiving a final quietus to-day in the dissolution of an injunction obtain od against the register in the United States Circuit Court. Tile law under which it operates provides for a tax of two and a half cents on all alcoholic beverages drunk, and half a cent on all beverages sold. This will necessitate an increase of the price of whiskey drinks from ten to fifteen cents, and a probable diminution of tile size of lager boor glasses to prevent the loss of the half cent to the saloon keeper. It is estimated that in this city alone tihe amount of revenue to be derived from it wvill exceed $175,000 per annum, and if anything like the ex pectations of tile projectors of the register are reabized it will bring the State treasury $750,000 a year. The register is a plain apparatus, about the size of a small cigar box, with a gas meter dial on the front and a crank in the rear. Inside is the necessary machinery to register each drink, and a gong which, with each revolution of the crank, gives notice of the fact, There is no punch about it, that idea having originated from its similarity to the car bell punch. The bar-keepers and liquor dealers are greatly excited at the snecess of the regis ter. They are violently opposed to it, and threaten to defeat every candidate for the Legislature who will not veo for the repeal of the law. Its operation comes in at a very opportune moment, when there istnot a cent in the State treasury, and while the State authorities are try ing to negotiate a loan of $100,000 to.carry on the State government. FIv hlundred registers are ready in .1 hands of the State auditor, to go into operationi on Monday, and the entire State can be supphied in a few days. A THING never lost but often found -A verdict.
