"Without deciding the question, I will state that it has been
quite generally charged that the evidence taken by a legislative committee in 1877 strongly tended to prove that the
passage of the act of the General Assembly of 1869. referred
to in your letter, was procured by fraud and bribery. Certainly, some of its provisions are in direct contravention of
the plainest principle of justice. For these reasons, and for
the further reason that but a short time will elapse before the
meeting of the General Assembly, when the settlement of the
legitimate debt of the State will doubtless be fully considered,
I decline to fund the bonds presented or to issue any new
bonds under the funding act of 1869."

Canadian Pacific— In regard to late rumors against this
company, Mr. George Stephen, the President, writes to the
Toronto Qlobe : " These assertions are that the company had
drawn fifteen millions of the government loan before tlie 30th
June, besides the regular payments on account of construction that the syndicate, as you are pleased to call the company, "has not been able to unload any of its stock," and has
been making "increasing demands" upon the Dominion
treasury. The statements are absolutely witliout foundation,
both as to those which are direct and those made inferentially.
The company have not received one dollar from the government beyond the amounts expressly authorized by the loan
act of last session, and they have made no demands upon the
government except for the carrying out of tliat act. And,

The new extension from Lake Park,

miles of road is already laid, and tracklaving has also been
commenced at Pipestone. Two-thirds of "the grading of the

from Clinton, Iowa, to Elmira, is also progressing finely, and

report that a careful examination of the railroad ha.s been
made, and, with few exceptions, all the work already done is
in excellent condition; and it is estimated that only |1,.500,000
will be required to complete and equip the road to Northampton, and to pay the interest on the bonds until the road shall
be capable of taking care of the same from its earnings, being
about ll.'i.OOO per mile. It is proposed to issue bonds of $1,000
each for this amount, secured by a first mortgage, and bearing
interest at 6 per cent, and payable in 20 years, the company
reserving the right to redeem the same at any time at 5 per
cent premium. The agreement under which the old bonds
were exchanged for preferred stock provides that the holders
of the latter shall have the right to subscribe for the new
bonds, and this right will now be offered to them.

Erie & Western.—The Erie directors held
an adjourned meeting on Thursday, and Mr. John King, Jr.,
formerly of the Baltimore & Ohio, was elected as assistant to
President Jewett. At the next annual election he will be
be elected President in place of H. J. Jewett. In case Mr.
Jewett retires before that date Mr. King will succeed him
immediately. Mr. King started in comiiany with Mr. Westlake, of the English Stockholders' Committee, on a tour over
the entire road. The principal condition imposed by Mr. King
assuming the active control of the road is that the floating
debt, amounting to about ^4,000,000, shall be paid off. This, it
m
understood, will be done, if possible, by the sale of $5,000,000
of Chicago & Atlantic second mortgage bonds held in the Erie
IS
treasury.
—In regard to the raising of money on its securities Dow
Jones' News Letter, August 22, says: "It is stated that the foreign holders of Erie, who have evinced a disposition to advance
money to pay off the$4,.500,000of the company's floating debt,
had expressed a willingness to take a collateral trust bond to
that amount, secured by Chicago
Atlantic bonds in the company's treasury. It is not clear that the Erie Co. has any other
collateral whicli could be placed on such a bond.
Of this
5,()(X),000 of Chicago
Atlantic bonds it is understood that
about $1,7.50.000 are already hypothecated, leaving a trifle
over $3,000,000 available for such purpose. Under these circumstances it would appear that the foreign holders would
have to take up the loan on the $1,750,000 of the bonds before
the $5,000,000 would be available as collateral."

from Chicago to the same point via St. Paul and the
Northern Pacilic. The new route will probably be open for
through business in the early fall.
Oregon Trans-Continental,- The New York tfail and
Erpresn reports: " A broker acquainted with the affairs of the
Oregon Trans-CJontinentsd states that its assets consist of 145,01)0 shares of Oregon Navigation, 105,000 sh.ares of
Northern
Pacific preferred
and 105,000 shares of Northern Pacific
common. The parties who advanced the $8,000,000 loan
early this year have an option, expiring Dec. 11 next,
to' take 45,000 shares of Oregon Navigation at par,
45,000
sliares of Northern Pacific preferred at .50 and 45,000 Northern
Pacific common at 25. Sliould the option be taken the company will have to meet liabilities, 100,000 shares of Oregon
Navigation and 00,000 shares each of Northern Pacific preferred and common. The liabilities, including the $8,000,000
loan,_ amount to $11,200,000. The option would produce
$7,875,000 and the value of the remaining securities at present
quotations would be $12,880,000. With that sum the company
would have sufficient to pay off its indebtedness and have a
surplus of something like 25 percent on the $40,000,000 of
Oregon Trans-Continental stock. Of course this estimate takes
no note of the appreciation insiders expect to see in the securities held by the company.
It is reported on the Street to-day
(Aug. 16) that the holders of the $8,000,00') loan are now. and
have been for some time, exercising their option by calling
Northern Pacific preferred at 50 in such lots as suit them.
There is apparently no desire on the part of the directors of
Oregon Trans-Continental to push the dispute of the company
into the law courts, for President Elijah Smith notified them
to-day that unle-ss suit was begun he should resign.

Philadelphia & Reading— South Pennsylvania— Baltiis stated that three-quarters of the grading
has been completed on the new Baltimore & Ohio line to connect with the Philadelphia & Reading lines for New York.
It is now confidently predicted that the line will be in running order by next summer.
Subscribers to the $15,000,000 stock of the South Pennsylvania Railroad paid a further instalment of 10 per cent this
week, and thereby added $750,000 to the cash in the treasury of
the company. In regard to this line it is said work is progressing on Soutli Pennsylvania rapidly. The tunnels are all
under contract, bridges are being built and the road is being
pushed to completion with more energy than is generally
understood by the public. Tlie road, as the rival of Pennsylvania and a feeder to Reading, will become one of the most
important lines in the State.
It is expected to be in working
order by June 1, 1880.
This road is well understood to be
pushed forward by Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt as the principal
owner, and the following particulars are from a sketch publislied some time since in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
'The 8outh Pennsylvania road will use the Pittsburg McKeesport &

The directors' plan of reorganization, referred to in the
" By order
Chronicle last week, contains the following
of the Court, the receivers appointed June 1 have undertaken payment of interest on all the mortgages upon
the original main lines of the consolidated companies,
except tlie general and collateral trust mortgages, and
the following mortgages on leased and acquired lines, viz.
Western Railway, the Quincy Missouri
the Toledo Peoria
Albia Railway,
Pacific Railway, the Centreville Moravia
the Havana Rantoul & Eastern Railway.
" Aesuming interest payment on all the mortgages included
in the order of Court, it seems only necessary at tlie jiresent
time to deal with those which will remain in default. In
regard to the leased and acquired lines not included in tlie
order of tlie Court, it is evidently impracticable to form any
plans or to make any definite propositions until .a re-organization of the company has been aecomplis-hed. It is proposed,
tliere!'oie, to leave the a<ljustment of these claims to the new
corporation, which the report of the committee contemplates.
If tlie measures suggested can be carried into effect, tlie new
company can treat; witli these various interests witli a reasonable certainty of being able to carry out tlie obligations then
assumed. Meanwhile, if the receiver, who have been ordered
to keep separate accounts by the court, can make satisfactory
arrangements with the holders of these securities, by appropriating to each line the net earnings thereof, the interests of
the latter would be fairly protected until a new company may

in cotton for future delivery at tins market
active for the week under review, the
has
advance noted in our last being more than lost. Crop accounts have continued fairly favorable, but advices from
Liverpool and Manchester and the shutting-down of our
own mills do not tend to encourage speculation for the rise.
The market was weak on Saturday, dull on Monday, and on
Tuesday a considerable decline took place. On Wednesday
there was in early dealings a sharp decline, August yielding
15 points, the lowest figure being 27 points below the close on
Friday last; but in the last hour there was a brisk and very
general recovery on the demand to cover contracts, and yesterday prices further recovered, in sympathy with a stronger
Liverpool report, with October showing exceptionally large
dealings: but the close was less buoyant. To-day Liverpool
was dull and weak, and there was a slight decline, with a very
dull speculation. As compared with last Friday, the close
was at a decline of 11@ 16 points. Cotton on the spot was dull
until Wednesday, when a decline of i-^c. caused a brisk business for home consumption, which was continued yesterday.
Special grades are now very difficult to procure, and buyers
generally find that they must put up with "Hobson's choice."

Receipts from the Plantations.—The following table is
prepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the outports are sometimes misleading, as they are made up more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach,
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following.
In reply to frequent inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland receipts or
Soutliern consumption; they are simply a statement of the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the outports.

The above statement shows 1. That the total receii)t8 from
the plantations since September 1, 1883, were 4,781,336 bales;
in 1883-83 were 6,005,971 bales; in 1881-83 were 4,653,445 bales.
3.
—That, although the receipts at the outports the past week
were 3,865
bales, the actual
movement from
plantations
was
only 1,098 bales, the balance being taken from the stocks at
the interior towns. Last year the receipts from the plantations
for the same week were 9,875 bales and for 1883 they were
10,144 bales.
Amount of Cotton in Sight Aug. 33.—In the table below
we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add
to them the net overland movement to Aug. 1, and also the
takings by Southern spinners to the same date, so as to give
snbstantially the' amount of cotton now in sight.

East India Crop. — From Messrs. Wallace

Co's Cotton
Report, dated Bombay, July 13, we take the following "Seasonable rain has fallen all over the Presidency since the end of
last week, and has just come in time to dispel doubts as to the
safety of the cotton crop in the Central Provinces and Berurs,
in wliiL-li districts the plants are now some inches above ground.
In DhoUerah and Guzerat sowing has just commenced, and
the crops there start under favorable conditions, though somewhat late. The prospects for the new cotton crops generally
may now be said to be good, except that in the Bengal districts there are complaints of iiisuflicient rain."
