" Alabama Claims" did not mean " Government

it did not mean " war premiums;" in a word, it did not

specifically mentioned and proved growing out of the
" Alabama," the " Florida," the " Georgia" and the
" Shenandoah." The whole subject was argued at very
great length, and deliberately passed upon by the Court,
and the view of Great Britain adopted. After such an
arbitration and such a decision, we do not see the force
of bringing forward quotations to show what our Government view was at the time of making the treaty, or
before or after it was made. We submitted the question
to the Court, and the Court settled it finally and forever.

manner in which any Court recognizes the attorney and

The Government had no standing before the arbitrators
except as it held in its possession those proofs of oss which
were prepared by private claimants at their individual
expense, and by them in their simplicity entru.-ted to the
Government. Finally, the point in the proceedings was
reached where the tribunal desired a tabular statement
from each government,' by which comparison could be
made of the conflicting views of the two governments.

COTTON ACREAGE OF AGRICULTURAL BUREAU ANB COTTON
EXCUANGES.
Any one who baa not examined the acreaifs reports of the
Agricultural Bureau and Cotton EicUangee, in detail, will be
surprised, perhaps, to see how near alike their total results as to
TUey differ materially with regard to certain States,
and yet the average total decrease for all the States is about
the eame that is, about tliree (3) per cent, in both cases. For
the convenience of our readers, and for the purpose of making
comparison between the two authorities, we have prepared the
following analysis of the reports of the Cotton Exchanges

During the week ending May 27, tbe deliveries of homegrown wheat in the 150 principal markets of England and
Wales, amounted to 40,072 quarters, asjainst 48,711 quartern
last year.
In the whole Kingdom it is estimated that they
have been 102,700 quarters, against 195,000 quartern in 1875,
commencement

Tlie Railroad Competition. Tlie war between the trunk
lines of railroad has been carried to such an extreme pjiut, in
the reduction of fares and freights, tuat there is a batter prospect
of its early term-nation. It is far better that the war should be
short, sharp and decisive, and that rates should be reduced in its
early stages to a ridiculously low point. The present disagreement
was started by the Messrs.Vanderbilt, because the old arrangement
under which the several trunk lines were operating was deemed
unsatisfactory tor New York Central interests. So far as financial strength is concerned, undoubtedly the New Y'ork Central
could wage a long and bitter contest against those of the trunkj
lines which have large obligations to meet, and intend to meetl
them. Erie, however, is operated by a receiver and hangs onlyl
between foreclosure and reorganization without sale. In everyl
reduction by New York Central, Erie is able to eo further, andl
has recently followed closely in puttinjr down W^slera freight!

Mr. Vanderbilt in fighting such a concern as this is like
stalwart soldier charging bayonet into a wool sack.

Undoubtedly, the Grand Trunk of Canada. And if the New|

from New York to Cliicago to 25 cents and 10
cents respectively on the different classes, and from these absurdly
low figures, as well as those on passenger fares, there is the more
tion of freight rates
hope that the differences between the trunk lines will presently
be adjusted, and a reasonable scale of prices adopted. From a
definite statement made by Mr. Jewett, Receiver of the
Erie
Railway, to a Times reporter, it appears that the present " cutting " on through business was inaugurated and has been carried on by the New York Central, which has been the first in
make further reductions. As the public had been
led to suppose that the Erie had, in several instances, made the
each case to
first move towards lower figures, it is hardly surprising that
Mr.
Jewett should be unwilling to have this uajustly attributed to
him, and should therefore make a statement correcting the
erroneous impression which had gained ground.
The rates for money continue to grow easier, and with the
larger accumulation of Irauable funds at this point the rates for
call loans are down to 1^ per cent for large blocks of money on
government collaterals, and from 2 to 3 per cent for ordinary
loans on governments or stock collaterals.
Prime paper is in demand at 4 to 5 per cent for that ranking as fiist-class.
The Bank of England report on Thursday showed a gain of
£847,000 in specie for the week, and tlie discount rate remains
at 3 per cent.
The Bank of France gained 9,805,000 francs in
the week.

There have also been a nuiiiber of inquiries for bonds from savings banks in Massachusetts,
as we understand that those institutions are now permitted by
law to pay 5 per cent, on their deposits, instead of 0, and are,
therefore, better able to invest in government securities.

favorably on the market were the sitisfactory reports of rtilroad
earnings in May and for the first five months of the year, the
good outlook for the Northwest and St. Paul stocks under the
large (train movement, and the di'clnration of a dividend by
Western Union Telegraph.
On the other side, the principal
causes for depression have been the continued war among the
trunk railroad lines, and the doubt as to a speedy revival ol prosperity among the coal roads.
There is no present intimation of
an agreement among the officers of the trunk lines, but the extremely low figures to which through freights and passenger
fares have fallen would indicate that the lowest point has probably lieen reached, or at all events that an arrangement is more
likely to be reached soon, than if the reduction was moderate.
One of the strongest and most active stocks this week has
been Lake Shore, and its friends appear confident that an
August dividend will be declared. St. Paul and Northwest, i)oth
common and preferred, have shown a good deal of streuKth,
on the reports that earninfrs showed an increase. The Rock
Island annual report lately presented showed an increase in net
darnings of about |I150,()00 over 1874-5. Nothing further has
been heard of the Pacific Railroad bills in Congress. It appears
that the Western Union Telegraph Company, after purchasing a
majority of the stock of the Southern & Atlantic Company, proposes to lease it at 5 per cent, perannum on the stock of $1,000.-

Exeh«nge, Exchange has been quiet and steady. There J
but little demand from merchants for bills to make remittanceg'
and the bankers are slow buyers of commercial bills, of which
there is a fair supply, arising from shipments o^ grain, provisions and cotton.
There is no influence to be noticed in connee.
tion with bond transactions, and on the other side the markete I
are more quiet, as the apprehension of war appears to have sob* 1
sided. On actual business, to-day, the rates_were 487i for bank*
ers' 60 days' sterling and 4.891 for demand.

steel rails and nearly 17,000 new cross-ties and improvements
about the Washington depot.
The total number of passengers carried in 1875 was 1,030,706
as against in 1874 788,03.3— an increase in 1875 of 347,083. The'
amount of freight carried in 1875 aggregated in tons 315,859. as
against in 1874 161,314— an increase in 1875 of 54,.545 tons. "The
transportation per passenger per mile was seven-tenths of a cent
and per ton, one mill per mile less in 1875.
Although the ratio of the operating expenses to the gross t«m
ceipts is unquestionably large, the report says it must be borne
in mind that the company is required to keep up a large train
service, more expensive terminal arrangements, and a higher
standard of efficiency generally than the present business war.

The report has the following
The gross earnings show a decrease from the previous year ol
$16,042, notwithstanding an increase in the transportation of
20,013 tons, and a gain in the number of passengers carried of
about 73,600.
The total cost of the betterments made during the past two
years is $777,933. The funds to provide for these have been derived from the net earnings since November 10, 1873, together
with the proceeds of |133,000 of the $453,000 first mortgage
bonds reserved in the Treasury, and the balance is represented

Your board of directors have not yet audited and approved the
account of $i33,t)48 26 for money expended for improvements
and equipments under the sixteenth section of the lease, and,
therefore, do not know as yet what proportion, if any, of the
same would eventually be charged to running expenses but the
probability is that the greater portion will be found to be correct,
and that guaranteed special stock will be issued therefor. The
entire expense of maintaining the road, including taxes on real
estate, repairs of michinery, and operating the road, according to
the report made by the leesee to the Secretary of Internal Atlaira
of Pennsylvania, has been $4,580,097 03.

In addition to these items, sbown by the trial baNn:e of the
Treasurer, all of which remain substantially as stated in the last
report, this corporation has an interest, in common with the Concord Railroad corporation, in the Manchester and North Weare
Railroad, and in the enpfinas, cars, shop tools and machinery, and
other property, which has been acquired from the common funds
of the Concord and Manchester and Lawrence Railroads, while
those roads were operated together under the manajtemeut of the
Concord Railroad and in the income derived from the operation
of the Manchester and North Weare Railroad, and from the use
of such common property and is also entitled to twu-flftha of
the net income from the operation of the Concord and Portsmouth
Railroad and the Suncook Valley Railroad.
Efforts have been continued during the year to have the interests of each of the two corporations in this common properly
definitely determined, but hitherto we have been unable to aj^rree
upon anj basis of separation or division that appeared to be for
the benefit of this corporation, or at all likely to subserve the
interests or convenience of the public.
In the meantime the Concord Railroad have paid us from
previous joint earninsfs twenty thousand dollars to partly adjust
these claims, which has been credited to our income account.

Oil the thirty first of March, 1971, the National Bank of Newport, New York, received for collection, from certain owners
of the Danville Urbana Bloomlngton and Pekin Fir*t Mortgaire
Bonds, and of the Indianap die Blooming'on and Western Fint
Mortgage Bonds, their coupons due the next day.
The Cashier of the Bank inclosed them in a package addreaead
to the Firbt National Btnk of tliis city, and gave the package toa
stage driver to deliver to the agent of the American Expni<a
Company at Herkimer. The stage-driver carelessly left the package on the counter of the Express Company's office iu the latter

quested stoppage of p.iyuient.
On the third of Aoril, Mr. Evert Erert8en,a banker at Albanjr,
purchased the stolen coupons. He bou,!ht them in the regular
course of his business, paying for them in currency, and allowing

a premium of ten per cent for gold.
On the evening of the day on which he purchased the couponr,
he forwarded them to his correspondents in this city, requesting
them to collect and place the proceeds to his credit.
On the 4th of April the coupons were presented, and payment
refused, because of tho telegram received from the Newport
Bank.
Mr. Evertsen thereupon sued the Indianapolis Bioomington
and Western Railroad Company, and that company having paid
the amount of the coupons into court, the Newport Bank waa
substituted in its place iu the suit, and Mr. Evertsen and the Bank
proceeded to litigate their claims to the amount deposited.
The Referee, to whom the matter was referred, found in faror
of Mr. Evertsen, and the finding was sustained by the Court.
The Bank appealed, and the Supreme Court, General Term,
sustained the former decision in favor of Mr. Evertsen.
Again, tho Bank appealed, and now, within the past few weeki,
the Court of .'Vpp-^als has decided in favor of Mr. Evertsen aa
regards ten of tlie coupons, and in favor of the Newport Bank as
regards the remaining forty-seven.
It is a familiar rule of law that, in general, a thief can transfer
that is,
to another no greater title than he himself possesses
noce whatever. The great exception to this rule is in the case of
negotiable p.iper: and to constitute any written instrument negotiable, it is necessary that it should contain an absolute promise,
signed by a definite person, to pay to a definite person, or to bis order, or to bearer, a certain sura of money, absolutely, and at all
events. Such promises to pay, whether under seal or not, if payable to bearer or indorsed in blank, are different from all other
classes of property, and the honest purchaser for value, before
maturity, acquires title even if purchased from a thief, who himself has no title and can give none.
A coupon bond may be said to consist of two part*. First, the
bond proper, containing the promise to pay the principal and
and, second, the coupon*^
interest at certain definite periods
being detachable portions of the complete instrument, by means
of which the specified paymente of interest may be collected aa
they become due.
Decisions, almost without nnnber, sustain the statement that
coupon bonds, "when expressed iu negotiable words," follow the
same rules as are applicable to other instruments similarly
worded. And, had Mr. Evertsen bought the fifty seven bonds
with the coupons of April 1, 1871, attached, it is scarcely possible
that the Court of Appeals should have decided that be had title
to only ten of them.
And, as to detached coapons, the Supreme Court of the IJnited
" Tb«
States has given a decision in which Justice Nelson says:
coupon is not an independent instrument, like a promissory not*
for a sum of money, but is given for interest thereafter to bointerest is parcel of tho bond.

and partakes of its nature."
" of these
After further comments on the " great convenience
coupons, the Court decided that they were negotiable, subject to
the usual rules, independent of the bonds, and could be sued upon
without producing the bonds, and such suit was not barred by tho
statute of limiutions unless the lapse of time was sufficient t»
bar also a suit upon the bonds.

Central Vermont.— The St. Albans Messenger of June 9 says:
"The Central Vermont Railroad Company, Tuesday, June C, filed
its account as Receiver ot the railroads for the year ending July
1875.
All sums of money paid out for rents of the different
roads, and all payments of interest on the funded debt are not included in the statement. The figures show a falling off of $738,667
during the six months ending July 1, 1875, as compared with the
six months ending Jan. 1,1875. and a falling off in the net earn

of this State decided that both these coupons were negotiable instruments, and that Mr. Evertsen, having

The coupons of the ladianapolis Bloomington & Western
Bailway Ccmpany," says Judge Allen, in the opinion concurred
in by all, "being promissory notes, they necessarily had all the
characteristics of such instruments, and were entitled to the benefit of the days of grace allowable on bills and notes payabU at a
given day, or on time."
In regard to the other forty-seven coupons, the opinion says:
"The coupons of the Dinville Urbana Blooiniagtou and
Pekin Railroad Company, termed upon their face " Interest Warrants," are in somewhat different form. Whether they are
within that description of property to which a title may be acquired by a hjna fide transferee for value, notwithstanding a
defect ol title in the transferer, depends upon their negotiability."
And then the court holds that these " warrants" are not negotiable, not having the necest^ary rfquisites of negotiable paper, and
that, therefore, Mr. Evertsen acquired no better title than that of
the thief none whatever.

Irregularities in the Issue of Municipal

In the case of the holders of bonds issued by Oswego township,
Kansas, in aid of the Missouri Kansas & Texas road, the United
States Supreme Court has sustained the decision of the Circuit
Court, which was to the effect that an over-issue of bonds, or a

void when they were regular on their face and were in the hands
of innocent holders. In the Oswego case, $100,000 in bonds were
sold, though the amount which the township was authorized to

earnings and expenses have to be
added and deducted the outside operations of the company (as

show that to pay the leased Hues and other ,and similar outgoings (as now to some extent reduced) in full, as claimed, and
without reduction, and also to pay the full interest upon the
funded and other debts and liabilities, a deficiency on the six
months of |979,843 would remain, as against a deficiency of
11,165,223 in the corresponding six months of 1875. This improvement mainly arises from the reduction effi^cted in the Weehawken Dock liability, the closing of the Jefferson Car Company's

been obstacles to a further improvement. This was seen yesterday, when a further advance of l-lOc, to 12ic. for Middling
Uplands, had the effect of checking the demand. To-day, however, there was more activity for consumption and a steHdy
market. For future delivery, the market opened witli considerable
buoyancy, stimulated by tlie reduced estimates of the acreage
planted for the next crop, which were put forth by the Southern
Exchanges, to which allusion was made in our last, and confirmed
on Saturday and Sunday. These reports had some effect, likewise,
in stimulating the Liverpool market.
There was also a recurrence of rains and complaints of grass in many Southern States,
but notably in Alabama and Mississippi. The operators for a rise

that, except
some
re-action on Tuesday, the advance
was

To-day a more favorable construction was put upon the Bureau

there was a pretty general decline of -ic, closing quiet.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 143,800

favorable for planting, and decidedly more favorable immediately succeeding
that for working the crops.
,
Fifth Answbr.— Some planters have not yet quite cnmploted chipping out
the cotton, but wherever tnat has been done the stands are reported as very
good. Many of our correspondents state that they could hardly be better,
and are far above the average of several years past.
Sixth .\n«wek.— Asa rule, planting was completed somewhat later than
last year. But the cop has grown remarkably well. Tne present general
condition averages about the same as last year, but ranges from " two weeks
later" to "two weeks earlier," according to local influences, and more or less
favorable weather in certain localities.
Seventh Answer.— Labor is reported the same in (luantity as last year, but
as a rule more efflcieat.
Eighth Answer.— The use of commercial featilizers on cotton lands has
been about the same as last year, but there has been an increase in the appli<:ation of home manures and composts.
Ninth .\n5Weii.— The present condition of the cotton crop is very eood and
promises well. The plant, as a rule, is not large, but is healthy and vigorous,
and the liclds free from grass. The majoiiiy of our reports point to a condition decidedly above the usual average at this season.
Tenth Answer.— In two counties there is sime complaint of an impairment of stands by tlie cut-worm. Two counties report lice. In all material
respects, however, our reports point to an excellent cendition of the crop,
and a more than favorable prospect lor the future.

Grain bags remained quirt
and there was only a moderate inquiry for carpet warps, yarni
and twines. Print cloths were dull at 3|c. 30 days for extra 01x64
makes, some small sales having been nude to speculators at a
fraction below these figures. Prints ruled quiet, except nsw whitegrjund fancies and figured shirtings, which weje iu limltt

demand, and ginghams ana cotton dress goods moved slowly.
Domestic Woolbs Goods.— There was a better demand
the close of the week for heavy woolens for men's wear, and
plain and fancy overcoatings, fancy cassimerts and suitings
worsted coatings, etc., were taken by clothiers to an importan
aggregate amount.
Light-weight woolens continued inactir*
and irregular in price with agents, but were distributed in smal,
lots by jobbers.
Kentucky jeans, whica have so long been sluggish, received a little more attention from intending buyers, anG
a few sales were made by means of price concessions. Clotbl
and doeskins were lightly dealt in, and satinets continued
quiet. Flannels were generally quiet, but twilled makes were
more sought for by shirt maaufac'urers who are about commencing operations for the fall. Carpets were sold in small lota
by jobbers, but the demand from first hands was comparatively
light.
Worsted dress goods were dull, as were shawls' and
woolen hosiery.
