On the 29th div of Octo her, 17,3 a bill was introducecd (.ntitled "-A bill to maitke approp ria - 1 m" to p:y the claims of the South (-aolina 13ank and Trust Comn painy, which providus for the pay mAt, of claimiis aimlounting to tie F-ii Or olne htd1red1 and tweity t'hois:(i dollars. The itemized Scheue111c filisid by Hardy Solo mloll, prs siden It, established con ltsivelv, that only tho 11111 of ii:.s5 71-100 was die the bank, oId 1 hIa t a larug. m1ube1r of claimis (m this sldtl were of ia douibt fill (.h. ter c..

It is now kim"nvn that the banlk re forred to w inl:, u-11ura Ie Inl ra :1 sipported by ia -lig of politival plrat-es. composed of' Chaml)bolill, SetI., Parker anld otler S tate Ollivials, and cxh1ibited din-ig it,s ex'stenvo ta series of corruptions and r'Obberies unknown inl till history of an other corporation. it wa.-s throem;ih Ohis disgracecfull channel I that thousands of dollars' worth of fratululent p-ty cortifieates and "AAIlie(l .ore-o" or-ders found thoir way into thio Stato trea SIurOr's ofivo and wvore paid, .)hil.;t honest clainIts were turtied away heart sick and disgusted. At the tiim the bill t f-ired to was u1n-lcr con fi(erttioln it wIts well 1iderstood that this "most scetec bmik" could not, exist, without aid. It is not surprising 1erefore that the bill was pa.5sud by the expendituro of $80,000 by way of bribes, absorbing intti of th appr(opriaton. Of this thiere can be noc doubt, for withi an mua;zing:. Llro(n tory thi~e books of bank show tho fact undller the entry of "'legilativo expetnses." Thie time for the fai lure of this bank~ hadc nott ariived, ini the interestO of the Rling. Thel passage1~ of the bill alWorded aL bief relief, iand wh'1eni thei auic(iou 015occasion airrived its faloino withi over %0t0,000) of the mloncy of1 the St~ta and1( a lrgo amouitlnt of school and( county funds on deposit, with as wvorItless a lot of assets as were ever rendered in a court of insolvency. Thiis faihure we shaltl refer to hereafter in a separa'Ito rep or t. We are concerned~ n1ow only to present the p)ortionsa of theO evdc showing the methods and( manais by wich thtis iniquitous miteasur wc~as fastened upon the poplei, and a spcial tax was lovied upjonl thleml for tihe payment of the climiis ombtlracedI by it. It will bo0 ob)served that a small por'tion of these claims woro valid demanlllds agatinst the State; theso, however, were in a largo measureo slubsequen thy abstracted from the b)ill and pid by the State treasurer out of other funds, in order to give place to over twenty thousandi dol, laris of fraudulent pay cortifiates;, mtaniufactulredl for the occalsion, so that cortin State officials might receive their share of "gr'atifica-. tion." Prince RI. Rivers testifies that "lie voted for tihe bill ; met thle meombers at a caucus ; Hardy Solomon was there, and1( spoke in the caucus ; tile next night the members were to mee,t him there, and he was to see them separately; 1h0 ofiered me $500,; that ainount he afterwards paid me at the bank in city bills. noerry- of Georgetown, invited t.he menbers to meet Solomon in the caucus. I think I met Keith and H-Iuiibort, of Darlington, at the batk.' Keith t0stifies that lie Was paid 850 in city bills and about $50 in groceries. Butler Spears, a member from Sm11nt0r, received goods amounting to abont $120. W. W. 11amsay was paid $100 to sipport the bill. Jaies Young testifies that he "voted for the claim and received about $30 in City of Columbia bills." It. S. Tarleton, member from Colleton, testifies that ho "voted for the bill, and was paid $50 worth of groceries." The following other parties con, fessed to having received the follow ig atouitti for supporting the bill: 11astinigs Gantt, $75 ; David Gra hai, 8.,3100 : Paris Simpkins, $200 1 A. Simlins, $200 ; Charles Sims, provisions ; John Dix, $100 ; Dan nrly, .8100 ; Vanderpool, $100 ; N. T. Specier, $300, J. J. Grant, liquors and cigars ; Turner, pro imiscd $300, received $100; Gilmore, $250 ; Senator Jared Warley, $100 ; Senator Sam Gieon, $500 ; Senator C. ). Hnyne, $575. Larence Cain, senator from Edge field county. testifios that "at first he was opposed to the bill ; that Senator Jervey, of Charloston, wait ed on M[r. Solomon in reference to the bill, in behalf of himself and other senators, and reported that he (Solomon) was willing to pay the party 85,000 and no more. Finally it was agreed that a party of us shoull receivo for our support of the bill tie sum of $5,000. I re ceived of this sum a little more thanl. 600. There were eight of us imyseil, Senators W. R. Jervey, W. E. Johnston, Moses Martin, J. H. White, C. D. Hayne, F. A. Clinton and Dublin J. Walkor. I am satis lied these arc the parties." Moses Martin, sonator from Fair field, testifies that lie "voted for the (aim and received from Hardy Solomon five hundred dollars in consideration of the same." Senttor Gaillard, of Charleston, testified to the receipt $500. S. J. Leo in his evidence says, that "at the session at which tho claini of Hardy Solomon passoA Hardy Solomon discovered that ho could obtain a portion of it out of a dif'erent appropriation, auounting to something over $20, 000, and desired the vacum to be created in the $125,000 by the with drawal of the claim to be thus oth wise paid, to be filled up by the issuance of pay certificates. I was thou speaker and attended a consul.. Cation to determine how the matter should be arranged. Hardy Solo . muon, F. L. Cardozo, R. H. Gleaves and .[ think Governor F. J. Moses, Jr., and riyself were present. It was agreed that about $20,000 should be withdrawn from the 8125,000, and the vacuum thus cre ated to be filled up b)y the issuance of pa~y certificates by Gleaves and myself. I recognize the followving certificates as being part of the cer tificatos issued by Gleaves and my self to 1111 up the vacuum referred to above : No. 149~, in favor of B. M. Patter son, for $2,950 50. No. 150, in favor of P. D. Smith, for $3,375. No. 151, in favor of J. J. Wells, for $3,474. No. 152, in favor of P. M. Atkin son, for $1,780. No. 153, in favor of C. T. Lee, for $1,478 60. No. 154, in favor of M. E. Carter, for $1,230 60. No. 155, in favor of G. T. Bron son, for $1,585 90. All these certificates were issued without any consideration, and are fraudulent. They wvere all ante dated. This $20,000 was to divide between Gleaves, Moses, Hoge, Car dozo and myself. Cardozo said at the consultation that he would take Hoge's for him. House certificate "No. 263, for $4,960 23, ini favor of IT. C, Harness, is a fraudulent cer tificate, and wvas given by me to Hardy Solomon to go into his claim, and I received from him $5,000 for my services in connection with the claim, which wvas placed to my cred-a it in, the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company." The bank books corroborate Lee in this statement. Ex-Governior F'. J. Moses testi fies in reference to the claim that "a schedule representing the char, acter and amount of the claims was laid before the General Assem bly ; that a large number of claims provided for in the blikwee witl
