Company, amounting to $2,098,312.40, and those of the North-eastern Railroad Company, amounting to $92,000, are past due, the former having matured in 1868, the latter in 1869. None of them have as yet been paid, but no demand has been yet made on the State for payment, and the Comptroller presumes "that the companies by whom they were issued have made, or are about to make, satisfactory arrangements relative thereto."

DEBIT AND CREDIT. -Statement No. 12 credits an additional indebtedness of the State of $2,642,103.48, which, when added to the railroad debt of $8,787,608.20, makes the total debt of the State $11,429,711.68. So it will be perceived that from Mr. Neagle's own report the debt of the State is over $11,000,000. The advocates of reform were, therefore, not far from wrong in their estimates of the State debt during the late canvass.

BANKS AND CAPITAL. - Statement No. 14 comprises abstracts of the returns of Banks of the State, filed in this office, under the provisions of the enabling Acts of March, 1869. In accordance therewith, the following named Banks have, during the last fiscal year, resumed business, with the amount of capital placed opposite their names, respectively, viz: Bank of Charleston, $850,000; People's Bank of South Carolina, $250,080; Planters' and Mechanics' Bank, $100,000. The Bank of Newberry and the South-western Railroad Bank are redeeming their bills, but have not resumed business. The following named are in the hands of receivers, &c., appointed under the provisions of the above named Act, or orders of the Courts prior to the passage thereof: Bank of Camden; Bank of Chester; Commercial Bank of Columbia; Exchange Bank of Columbia; Bank of Hamburg; Bank of Georgetown; Merchants' Bank of South Carolina, Cheraw; Planters' Bank of Fairfield; State Bank of Charleston, and Bank of South Carolina.

RAILROADS. -The abstracts of the various railroad reports contain some very valuable statistical information, from which we make a few brief extracts. The net earnings of the various roads are set down as follows: Spartanburg and Union Railroad, $14,502.03; Greenville and Columbia, none; North-eastern, $96,207.94; South Carolina, $258,728.55. Out of this $58,194 have been paid in dividends, leaving a surplus of $200,534.55. The total number of persons killed on all the roads are reported as nine; injured, nine.

THE PENITENTIARY. -The report of the Superintendent and Directors of the Penitentiary ask for an appropriation of $30,000 for the erection of a permanent brick building for work shops. There are now in confinement 317 persons, of whom 310 are males, and 7 females. It would seem that the inmates are kept well employed, as appears from the following exhibit of the work done by them during the past year:

In carpenter shop has been manufactured 85 wheel-barrows, 160-cell benches, 180 spittoons, 3 derrick frames, 1,272 hammer handles, 430 axe and pick helves, 13 mess tables, 36 quarry buckets, performed work in erecting machine shop extension, erecting the new sheds for the protection of stone-workers, built aqueduct wood work in mill-race, fitted up store-room and hospital, repaired boats, wagons, fences and buildings, to an aggregate amount of at least $3,000. In blacksmith shop has been made 878 balcony bearers, a vast number of stone-cutters, and other tools used in the various departments, to an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000. The weaving shop has produced 8,208 yards of cloth of various kinds and qualities, to a value of $3,616.60, which has been made up into garments in the tailor shop. During the year 281 persons have been received; of whom 205 have been pardoned, 23 discharged, 24 died, and 6 escaped.

LUNATIC ASYLUM. - The expenses of this institution, as appears by the report of the Treasurer, amount to $58,507. Its assets are $43,471, and liabilities $14,978.

The South having exhibited of late signs of revival, and a somewhat independent expression and exercise of opinion consequent thereupon, the Radicals deem it necessary to again put on the legislative screws. With this view a special message is being prepared for Gen. Grant by some legal romancer, exhibiting the usual desperate state of affairs, so constantly encountered in the columns of the Washington Chronicle and New York Tribune. This is to be followed by the appointment of a com-
