A serious irregularItv has been discovered in the f\mding operations recently carried oni in the Court of Claims. A bout one hiundred thousand dollars of bills of the Bank of the State that should have been canceled and filed away are said to be missing, and no one knows where they are, whether funded a second time or whether still in the bands of outside persons, When the funding began Commrissionier Colt emplAoyed Mr. Alexander C. Laughlin, of Colutnbia, former cashier of the Exchange Baink, as an expert to examine the bills pre sented for fundling, to throw out counterfeits anid to cancel and file away in paickages the genluine bills.

Coimnissioner ('oit was immediately sumnmned and ini fo,rmed of this thet, and lie caused the arrest of Mr. Laughlin who had been inl chaf'ge of the bills. After evidence ta keni for the State, Trial Justice F'iekling bound Mr. Langblin'over1 in ihe sumi of $2,500O, to appeanr at coumrt.

In the absence of all (lie evidence we do not know whom to chairge wit,h re sponsibility for this grave scandal, and for this we await the action of (lie court. Certain it is that the good name of the State has been injured, and that the Democratie admninistra tion and through it thie party has re ceived a severe blow. The peculiar boast of (lie South Carolinau Demnocia cy is that it administers affairs honiest Jy, and this boast has been wvarranitedl - by the facts.
