A VOICE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. INTERVIEW WITH GOV. SCOTT. He Wanted Troops, Not a Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus. THE SITUATION DESCRIBED. Financial Condition of the State. ‘The country is at the present moment excitea by the extraordinary proclamation of the President of the United States, which places several of the counties of South Carolina under martial law. No announcement of an insurrection has been pub- Nened, and no evidences of a rebellion, such ag ordinarily calls for the exercise of Executive power, have stirred the hearts of the people to a “white heat;’’ yet His Excellency, the Chief Magistrate, has seen fit to impose upon one of the Southern States @ rule so rigorous and oppressive that even un- offending citizens are fleeing 1n terror from the law from which they should seek protection, leaving society disorganized, business unsettied and the political status of the people more disorganized and unsatisfactory than it bas been at any time since he close of the war. In view of this condition of things, one of the representatives of the.HERALD yesterday called upon Governor R, K. Scott, of South Carolina, who ‘was temporarily sojourning in the metropolis, and explaining the object of his visit, recelved the fol- lowing information concerning the condition of afrairs in the Palmetto State:—~ “J presume, Governor, that you are here in con- nection with matters referring to the recent de- claration of martial law in South Carolina’? “By no means,’ answered the Governor. “My sole object in visiting New York is to make certain arrangements concerning the finances of the State, which, for unaccountable reasons, are at the present moment at an unnecessarily low ebb.” “But you are aware, Governor, that THE PUBLIC ARE MUCH EXCITED with reference to the late proclamation, and as ambasSador of the Heranp I should be giad to have your views on the subdject.of martial law, its causes ang ppgesaity mn your Staley. 2 “ pet correct yon there.” replied the Governor; ‘qnartial law has not been deciared.

Yet it is under the control of the induential men of every county in the State.

The Excitement at Gloucester—The Euglisl Cruiser Not to Be Found—How the Hort Evcaped—Pluck Wins the Day—Preparations for Her Reception. GLovcesren, Oct. 18, 1871. Since my last despatch the people of this ancient fishimg town have been on the tenter=hooks of sus- pense. MOVEMENTS OF THE AMBRICAN GUNBOATS, The gunboat Fortane returned from her cruise yesterday noon and departed for Norfolk, and the Leydon took her piace, properly armed and equipped for the service upon which she was engaged. The cutter Mahoning has returned from her cruise, hav- ing seen nothing of the English man-of-war. The McCulloch was also despatcned from lortiand on | the same errand, but up to this time all is quiet, and the people beileve, if there was AN BNGLISH ARMED VES3BI, in these waters to recapture the Horton, they have made discretion the better part of vaior and taken themselves a long way out of sight of tand. The Particulars of the Horton’s escape are well worth publishing, As I before remarked, the plan was concocted here in town, and the leader is a man | Whose losses at the hands of the miscief-making minions of the Dominion government were such a8 aud with niue per cent past due interest on them were peddicd about the siree’s by brokers at from thirty-tive to forty one on the doliar, When the special session of the Legislature conyonéd ii 1565 Anew tax bill was passed, based on the vaiuation of alrealand personal property, and to carry this ynto effect a year was required.

YHE PRESENT DECLINE of the bonds is due to various causes. First, there 1s a general distrust Of Southern securities, becruse of the failure of several of the States to pay their in- terest, aud the unnecessary mereuse of tir pabitc debt, especially in Louisiina and Georgia. The Jailure 0; Lae State of Alabama to promptly meet its \ nooga Ratiread, has also had an unwholesome eitect on tie market, ‘The resoluuons passed by the | Charleston Chamber of Commerce and Board of ‘Trade were construed to mean repudiation, and the credit of tne State was thus assailed and safferea, Rome of the very pariies interested in that movement were through their agents selling pdondg short, and subsequentiy realized handsomely from ‘their operauions. thrown upon the market and a sulte@. ‘rhe ‘Taxpayers Convention caused a sudden: yong } In the price and a renewal ot confidence, put intendea t» absorb—not Increase—the State debt, Toduced a corresponding want of fatth, and the ponds commenced to depreciate.

It seems as if the public would never hear the last of the Fisk-Stokes row. Yesterday the redoubt- able but agonized Fisk and bis irscrutable partner, Jay Gould, hearing that Mrs. Helen Josephine Mansfeld was about to publish the fatal letters written to her by Fisk and Gould, and which have hung over the house of Erie for months like a pall, it was determined by tho railroad and opéra boufe Impressario to attempt a stratagem Which would resuit in the discomfture of Mrs. Mansfield. Judge Pratt, of Brooklyn, who has become very weil koown for his connection with the cases of the murderers Foster and Buckhout, having im both instances granted the murderers a stay of proceedings, ‘was applied to to grant an injunction which would prevent any person from the reading or publication or copying of any of the fatal letters, which are like @ pillar of fire by night and a column of smoke by day tothe redoubtable Fisk, Judge Ingrahan had already granted an injunction against the production of these wonderful letters in his Court, and it was found impossibie by Fisk and Gould to get Judges Barnard, Car.tozo or Ingraham to grant any further injunction py which tue papers might be seized from Marsh, Coe & Wallis, the attorneys of Kdward s. Stokes. But an eifert was inade to find a Judge who would be more accommodating, and Judge Calvin EB. Pratt tarned out vo be the man, Accordingly the imjunciion was Lae ane pind afiernoon, and papers were served ou Mr. Luther E. Marsh, and the affidavits of Mrs, lielen Josephine Mansfie:d were forcibly taken from her counsel. In these aft 8 it_i¥ shown how the fair Helen gal in the telegraph oflice at Jersey Ciiy with one hand on tae tor's instrument and the other holding the § cypher of ftsk and Gould, by which, it is alleged, the former communicated with Mrs, Manstiell as to his hourly progress in buying up the members of the Albany Legislature, and giv- ing now mucii cach member's vote cost, with each vidual’s demand and the sum patd to these pita. Then the avits specify how. the Railroad was ne night's work from the eyes of the stockhol who paid for iv out of theirown pockets.
