The buncombe known

seems to be the only originating force of this bill.
Translated into the ordinary vernacular of every day, it
apjiarently means that each member of Congress supported it under the same feeling which has inserted in
nearly every poliiical platform during the last five years
a fervent gush of gratitude to the " soldiers and sailors,''
and under the belief that a largess of the public money
would help his popularity among his own constituency.
If votes were so given contrary to inward conviction, all
the worse. It is true that a legislator is expected and
chosen to " represent" his own constituency; but in view
of the general habit of testing each subject which comes
up, not by the question what its character is as affecting
the general welfare, but by the question what course
upon it will make popularity at home, is it not time to
begin teaching a higher standard of public duty

and it is estimated that in the whole Kingdom they were
151,600 quarters, against 119,000 quarters in 1878. Since harvest,
the sales in the 150 principal markets have been 1,043,384 quarters, against 850,369 quarters; and it is computed that in the whole
Kingdom they have been
4,173,200 quarters, against 8,441,500

those current at the Bank, and the market still presents an easy
appearance. There seems, however, to be no expectation of any
badly during the last six months. If their business has been lees
extensive, they have obtained higher rates of interest, and this
has enabled them to pay dividends equal to those distributed in
the corresponding period of last year. There can be no doubt
that, painful as is the process, the trade of the country is

But, for the pres-
ent, recovery
Is checked, not only by the difficulty and delay,
which are almost always experienced in escaping from a period
of distrust, but also by the disputes which continue to exist
between masters and men. The former are, in many cases,
of opinion that the men will have to return to the working
day
of ten hours; but the men resist.
A large section o'. the country still asserts that the cause of the
present dulness of trade is tho foreign policy of the
government.
The political situation in Europe, since the publication of the
Berlin Memorandum, has obviously had an adverse
effect
upon
the trade of tbe world; but that situation was not entirely
of the
present Ministry's creation. The policy of the
government has
had the support at all events of a large majority in Parliament,
and it cancot be said that it has been unsuccessful.
If the
Liberal party bad propounded a plan which was
calculated to be
more successful, the country would certainly have accepted
it,
bat they simply found fault, without pToposing a
remedy. Such
a course of action is not statesmanship.
We are now expecting
soon to see an end to the Afghan war, and
the country is in
hopes that on the re-assembling of Parliament
matters of domestic
Interest will be discussed.
This week's Bank return is favorable, and the
propirtion of
reserve to liabilities has improved from
2Si to 30j per cent, A
prominent feature in the return is a decrease of
£1,509,259 in
the amount of loans and discounts. There
has been a decrease
of £354,875 in the circulation of notes
and of bank post-bills,
and an increase
£534,693 in the supply of bullion. The
Iccreaae in the total reserve amounts, therefore,
to £903,030.
Government continues to borrow of the Bank, and there is a
decrease of £336,220 in public deposits-that is, in

No attempt is being made at departing from the cautious policy which has so long been pursued, and it is quite

bears date Feb. II, 1^.53, which provides that
upon the grading and biidging of the rojd, by private subscription, th>^ State should loan its credit to the extent of ten thousand
dollars per mile, in the shape of bonds of the State. These liiuds
bear no mark of the road to which the same were issued, but
refer to the act under which they were Issued. The act required
the Comptroller to charge up the bonds to the roads, showing
the number, dale, &s. To indemnify the State against loss on
account of the Issuance of the bonds, It took a statutory mortgage
on the roails. The act required of the roads the paytnent rf the
semi-annual instalments of interest to the fiscal agent fifteen
days in advance of the maturity ol the coupons upon the State
bonds loaned to the company and it further required the roads
to pay annually in the bonds of the Stale a sinking fund of one
por centum pel annum on the amount of the bonds joined. Tliis
was increased It two per centum per annum l>y a subsequent act,
bearing date Feb. 21, 1850. In the original act ihe penalty for
nonpayment of interest and sinking fund was sequestration,
through the appointment of a receiver by the Uovernor. By act
of 18ia, ihe penalty for nonpayment of sinking fund wa<i foreclosure and sale of the road.
Under this and sub.^eqnent enabling legi.-^lation, the State soli
out sundry roads known as defaulting roads, to which had b^en
loaned about $10,000,000, through foreclosure suits instituted at
tile instance of the S'ate in tiie Chancery Court at Nashville.
The bondholders holding the bonds loaned to these roads were
made parties to thefe suits. Ths Court decided that they did not
liold a lien on tiie property, but tint the Hen tnken was personal'
to the State, aid no appeal was taken from ihese decrees.
Sales
were made under them which have stood lor about ten yeais
undisturbed.

Under this reserved authority the Legislature increased the
sinking (ucd to four per centum per annum, and passed other
measures for tlie relief and protection of the State; and, in order
to aid the railroads to repay indebtedoe.^.s due to the State
through means to be raised by the use of the iddividual credit of
such roads as could avail of it, the Legislature passed an act
on the 25ih of February, 1869, declaring it to be for the gi^neral
neifare of the State that the roads should repay indebtedness dae
to the State and, in order to enable tlie roads to raise the means
with willed to do so it was provided that they might issue their
own bond", and as fast us payment was made to tue State in its
own bonds, the company's bonds for a like amount should be
substituted.
Under this scheme of f ubstitutioo, the railroads
issued about $14,000,000, paying a like amount of State indebtedness to the Slate in its own bonds; each railroad bond bears the
following certificate of substitution as provided by law

that for payments thus made the State
should assign its lien on the railroads and tlie payment
should work a complete discbarge of all claims of the State
against the roads making it.
The Tennessee bondholders claim that the indemnity of the
State was taken for their benefit.
In the case of the Mobile &
Ohio Railroad Co., the Circuit Court of tiie United States decided
that the substitution acts were valid, and that the lien was personal to the State and not for the benefit of the l)ondholde-, just
as the Chancery Court at Nashville had previously decided.
Indeed, it is hard to see how any court can decide otherwise, as,
by the seventh section of the original act, payments to the sinking
fund were to be made not in the identical bonds issued to the
road, but in any Tennessee bondF; and the substitution acts did
not cbange the nature or kind of payment required under the
original act, but only accelerated it.
From the best legal opinion, we believe it is generally conceded the present suits will be harmless so far as their ultimatB
results agaiutt the railroads are concerned.

State and Railroad Bonds. The dealings in State bonds
tip to the h'ghest point of the present active season.
'I'lie tendency to soli old issues of bonds has reached the ten-forties, and have been quite limited, and Louisiana consols close at Gl, after
even the tives of 1881, and prices were depre sed until active the announcement of the payment in New Orleans of one-half
the January coupon in cash, and the balanf^e in a 'ertiScate
buying of the latter bonds, to-day, caused a re action.
Railroad bonds continue strong as a general rule, although
The act approved January 25, entitled "An act to facilitate the
there ar.-i some exceptional fiuctuatioxss in price in sympathy with
refunding of the national debt," is as follows:
In the Pacific Railroad cases
" Tbat the Secretary of tlicTrcnsm-y is hcreliy authorized, in the process the temper of the stock market.

Railroad and niaeelianeous Slocks. — The stock market
shown great activity, with a tone generally buoyant. On
Tuesday, and again on Thursday, there \va.s a almrp decline in
prices, which put n temporary check on the upward movement,
but at the close prices are agam strong, and buyers are confident.
As to tlio general situation of the stock market, it is apparent that
there arc numerous holders of stocks at present in the market
who have not been ther« before, or at least, not to any considerable extent, for a lung time {last, and these parties are all buyers
for a rise.
What the profrssionnl operators are doing it is not so
easy to determine, but it is fair to conclude that stocks which
these gentlemen purchased heavily at 20 per cent below current
prices they will part with, to some extent, and realize the handsome
now assured. In estimating the probable value of stocks.
•8 based on their earnings for the year 1679, we arn unable to see
that any greater profits can be expected than in 1S78.
It is true
that general commercial business should be decidedly improved,
and passenger tratlic increased, but for the great volume of freight
tonnage, it can hardly be larger mis year than last, nor can better
rates bo expected.
For such railroads as have materially changed their circumstances, as Erie with a third rail, an estimate based on the past
can not well be made. The coal stocks have been strong in spite
of a decline in coal ta near the lowest figures ever reached. The

York and London. Nothing further has been definitely
rejjorted of the transactions of the Syndicate of foreign bankers,
but it is generally understood that they will certainly dispose of
enough bonds to prevent any serious disturbances of the exchanges. Today, there was more demand for bills, and bankers'
sixty-days sterling sold up to 4'85^, demand at 4'88, and e»blo
transfers at 4°89.

cases referred to in the annual report for 1876, concerning which
the prospect is not altogether hopeful to the company. An appeal
to the legislature tor relief will probably be made at tbe present
session.

decrease in the freight earnings was wholly the resnit ol a
reduction in the average rate received, equal to 14 06-100 per
cent, the average rate in 1877 having been 13 66 100 mills per
ton per mile, and in 1878 10 88100 mills, a reduction of 1 78 100
mills. Tbe average local ralp was 2 cents in 1877, against 1 75 100
cents per ton per mile in 1878 and the average competitive rate
was8(?5I0OmiU8 in 1877,a^;aiDst 8 03 100 mills in 1873. This
large reduction in rates would have produced far more unfavorable results had there not occurred an increase of 28,484 tons, or
4 51100 per cent, in the freight carried, with a largelyincreased
ton mileage of 8.104.6a5, or 10 01-100 per cent. The total of
tons carrifd was 659,705 in 1878, against 631.281 tons in 1877.
The increase in the toncage was whuUy in the foreign or competI'.ivH bu^ine!'s, which wbs augmented 46,897 tons, equal to a gain
of 21 43100 per cent.
On the other hand, the local tonnagd
decreased 17,912 tons, or 4 32 100 per cent, which was entirely in
the coal traffic.
Of the decrease of $46,136 in the pnssenger earsingg, $41.3)3,
or 18 13-100 per cent, occurred in the foreign or competitive
travel, and $4,803, or 3 1-3 per cent,in the local travel. The report
says: " This diminution in competitive travel resulted from the
annulliuir of the contract, on Frb. 1, 1878, with the Indianapolis
& 8t. Louis Kailroad Company, for the division of the business of the two roads, that comj any thereafter resuming the running of through paesenuer trains and from the termination, in
March last, of the arrangement with tbe Illinois Central Railroad
Co., by which tbe through line between St. Louis and Chicago
via EfBngham had been eotablished, the latter company deeming
it more to is interest to form such a line in connection with the
Wabaah Railway tin Tolono. Your road, bowever.slill continues
Vie leading passenger route between St. Louis and the Atlantic
eiil-B.and has eaUblished a gool freight line between St. Louis
and Chicago via Terre Haute. It is very doubtful whether the
travel between St. Louis and Chicago via Ef&ngham, although the
In* was only I,") miles longor than the Chicago & Alton liailroad,
eyer yielded any net return."

Tlie qnestton of the ownership of the South Park & Pacific road
la a ve.'y important one to the Denver & Rio Grande bondholders, and Mr. L.
H. Meyer, the assignee, has. it is understood, declined to give his assent
without some proierting concession being eranted to Ihe bondholder?. A
formal demand for the guarantee of the bonded debt, principal and interest, of
Santa Fe Railthe Denver & Rio Grande Company by the Atchison Topeka

of the South Park &, Pacific company is limited to $1,800,00', the $700,000
bonds received by the Atchijon Topeka & Santa Fe being deemed canceled
.And destruyrd.
To Bu,irantce the construction of the South Park Railroad, $550,001 first
Tnortgage bonds of ihe com|)8ny are to be pledged to ihe Atchison Company,
and deposited with the Farmers' Loan <fc Trust Company. The contract also
provides thit whenever the Pueblo & Arkansas Valley Railroad (which practically is part of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe road) shall l)e extended

that place, the Sooit Park Cimpany shall have the right of joint trackage over
the extenflon upon the payment of a monthly rental of 8 per cent per annum
on one-half of the ac:ual cash co-t of the construction of the track bo far as
osed. The right of joint use of tiack upon the same lerms over any ex' eneions constructed by ihe Denver South Park & Pacific Cumpany connecting
with the Pueblo Jfc Arkansas Valley road is also confirmed to the Atchiscu
Topeka & Santa Fe Company. Ail extensions to the San Juan mining icion
by (ither Ibe South P-ark or the Pueblo & Arkansas Valley Company are'also
to be subject to the same provisions of the agreement, which are to be
perpetual. The tracks thus used in common are to be kept in repiir at the
joint expense of Ihe two contracting railroad companies, arcorrtini' to the
traffic of each company upon the tiacks so jointly used.
1 he cjntract also

Boston Clinton Fitclibnrg & New Bedfird.— The contract
of lease to the Old Colony Company is to be submitted to the
stockholders of the two companies for ratification. The lease is
for 999 years, and the rental is to be 10 3-3 per cent of the gross
-earnings of the joint roads.
The Railroad Uazette»B.y a: " The company owns a line from
Fitchburg, Mass., to New Bedford, 9102 miles, with 34-31 miles
of branches, and leases the Framingham & Lowell road 3613
miles, making 1.51-4.5 miles in all.
This, added to the Old Colony's previous mileage, will give it 45908 miles, the greatest
length under one management in Massachusetts. The lease will
complete the Old Colony's control of the traffic of all that section
of Massachusetts to the eastward of the Boston & Providence
road, and in addition will give it branches to Fitchburg
and
Lowell, which may be profitably used to bring busines
to its
.Steamboat line to New York. It is understood that an
existing
contract for division of certain business with the Boston
& Proviaence will continue in force.
"The Boston Clinton Fitchburg & New Bedford has been built
op by the consolidation of several short roads, and has had
a
womewhat checkered history. It has a bonded debt of $3 IC'3 100
on which the annual charge is $206,960, and a floating' debt of

Lo^ansport Crawfordsville
Southwestern.— lu the foreclosure suit, the United States Circuit Court has decided that
the expenditures made by the receiver are a lien on the property
prior to that of the first mortgage bonds. lu this case the second
mortgage bondholders had brought a foreclosure suit, and a
receiver was appointed to take charge of the trust, pending 'a
final disposition of the case.
The first mortgage bondholders
were not made a party to the suit, and, when the receiver's bills
came in, filed objections to their payment. Judge Orumiuond
stated, as chancellor of a court having railroad property in its
custody, that in an exceptional case he would have power to
direct the building of a link, branch or extension of the road,
which would make it a valuable property where in its unfinished
state it was not, and charge the expense to the first mortgage
bondholders, although they were not a party to the suit and were
protetting against the improvement. In this case the receiver
built a branch road six or seven miles in length, under order of
the Court, and the expense was charged to the first mortgage
bondholders. He also purchased engines and rolling stock, and
improved the road-bed, all of which the Court held must be paid
for before the lien of the first mortgage was sati.sfied.
Judge
Druminond further stated that where receivers' oertificates were
ordeied to be issued for any specific purpose, the holder must
know that they were issued for that particular purpose. Whrra

road questions, and hitherto there has been som'i disposition to
Court for its rulings in favor of those corporations.
•On the very important questiou of the payment of interest due
the ifovernment, the Court held firmly that the laws bad clearly
given up the claim to current interest, and that no interest was
due until the maturity of the bonds in 1895-09. In other issues
the C^)urt has ruled squarelyin favor of the companies, without
Te((ard to popular clamor, wherever tbey had the l.iw on their
side.
Now, when the companies raise a decidedly technical
point that the roads were not completed so as to pay the government its percentage of net earnings until years after they began
to make net earniigs for themselves, the Court decides against
the companies. Again, as to what are " net earnings," the Court
fairly says that Congress having given first mortgage bondholders a priority of lien, their interest must be deducted before net
earnings can be estimated; but as to allowing the interest on all
junior debts and issues of bonds whatever to be deducted before
net earnings are calculated, the claim is denied. No jury of
twelve impartial and intelligent men could make a fairer decision
on the questions involved than the Suoreme Court bas just made.
From the associated prees despatches the following report of
the decirlon is given:
No. 7.38. The Union Pacific Railroad Company, appellant, r«
The United States. This was a suit brought by the Union Pacific
Kailroad Company in the Court of Claims to recover from the
Ucited States, under the acts of Congress of July 2, 1^6-t, and
March 3, 1871, one-half of the compensation due it for the transportation of mails, troops, supplies and munitions of war,
amounting in the aggregate to $800,000. An a defetse to this
suit, the government set up a counter claim under the sixth section of the act of July 1, 186'2, to five per cent of the net earnings
of said road from the date of its completion. November 0, 1S(>9,
to November C, 1874, amounting to $1,400,000. This claim the
Union Pacific Company resisted on the ground that its road was
not completed in 1809,88 alleged by the government, but in 1874,
and that the interest upon its iudebteduess, as well as its running
expenses, should be deducted from its gross receipts in
computing the net earnings upon which the United States was
entitled to receive a percentage. A trial in the Court of Claijis
resulted in a victory for the government, that Couit holding the
road was completed in 1809 and that the government wus
eniitled to receive the diiTfrenie between half compensation,
which it admitted was duo to the railroad company, and the
full amount of its counter claim.
From that decree the Union
Pacific Company appealed.
The questions presented to this
Court for decision are

•
in a long and carefully
JustiC'^ Hralley, holds as follows:
—
prepared opinion, delivered
f^rit That, although In one sense of tho word a railroad is
jjever completed or never in such a way as to make further
improvements or greater perfection impossible, there is no reason
why the word " completed" should be construed to mean one
thinir in the fourth and fifth sections of the act of 180J and
another thing in the sixth section. If the road was cumpleied in
«ueh a stuje as to entitle the company to receive land grants and
121
sabildy bondi from the government, it was also ompleti la
aeh a aenie aa to entitle the governmont to demand and receira
five per cent nf its net earning*.
This conclusion \f, in th>' opinion nf the ('ourt, so obvloa* that
it needs no argument.
The findings of (act in the cmri below
I
show
that llm company, through its President, made affi lavit to
the completion of botti of the several sections of its road and Ita
whole line prior to November 6, IROO, and that upon the strength
of these representations, and of reports made by comrnlaaionera
appointed to examine the road, it waa accepted by the President,
and subaldy bonds and patents for land grants upon the whole
completed line duly issued to the company. The lattor ii thua
estopped by its own action from pleading incompletiao.
A
stranicer case of estoppel could hardly be prcwiated.
Second What should be included in the net earnings? Tba
Court hold.s, in reply to this question, that the earnings of the
road should include all sums receivable by the company from the
government for services rendered, but not the incimn or profit
derivrd from its lands that in computation of net earnings thers
should he deducted from this gross sum the necessary eipensea
of operation and all expenditures for ordinary improveiii'-nt and
repairs, but not expenditures arising out of the company'a
land depar inent nor Interest upon its bonded indeb'edneas. Tba
latter, the Court holds,
is not
properly chargeable agfcinat
riceipta
in computing net earnings.
While tlius decidinjr
against the company on this point the Court is clearly of opinion
Third That the net earnings thua computed are to be applied
first, to payment of the annual interest upon its first mortgage
bonds, and not to the payment of the five per cent claimed by toe
government. The Court holds this to be the legitimate efiect of
the government's waiver of its own priority.
Interest accruing
on the first mortgage bonds is as rightly payable out of the net
earnings as is the five per cent due the government. Tba net
earnings are the fund out of which both are to be paid; but if the
fund is adequate only to the payment of one the inter, st on the
first mortgage bonds has precedence
otherwise the whole gOTernment debt might be paid to the exclusion of tho first mortgage, whic*! is admitted to hive priority. Such a resuit would
be nyinifestly absurd. Tho government, however, may claim
that if tbere is not a sufScient surplus of net earnings in one
year to pay five per cent due for that year it may be carried over
to a succeeding year and taken out of the surplus thereof.
This
position the Court holds to be untenable. The statute mattes the
application an annual one. If the year produces net earnings
suificieot for the purpose the government gets its five per cent,
otherwise it does not, and there the ancouat ends. It was never
intended tna*. it should be carried over from one year to another.
In conclusion, theCourt, after directing some modifications in the
decree in the Court of Claims, sums up its decition of the princi" If, with these modifipal question In controversy as f dlows:
cat ens, it should be found that the net earnings iu any on year
were not more than sufficient to pay interest on the first mortgage bonds accruing in laid year, then the company will not bo
decreed to pay any portion of said five per cent of net earnings
for that year
but, if the net earnings were more than sutBcient
to pay such interest, the_eicess only will be subject, as far as it
will go, to the payment of said five per cent; but the company
will not be decreed to pay any more than said excess.
The
decree of the Court of Claims is reversed, with instructions to
enter a decree conforming hereto."
