BONDHOLDERS' LIEN ON RAIL¬
ROADS.

This week the

decision and opinion of the Court

has

public in an action brought by holders of
Tennessee Internal Improvement State Bonds, to enforce
a lien they claim to have against the railroads of the
State. It will be remembered that in February of last

endorsing the bondholders’ view. The decision, how¬
ever, which is now made public, as above stated, sets the
question at rest, for it puts the issue in so clear a light
that the complainants will be able to see extremely little
hope of a reversal on appeal.
Our readers will remember that the General Assembly
of the State of Tennessee passed, February 11, 1852, an
act known as the “ Internal Improvement, act of the
State of Tennessee,” extending aid to railroad companies
by a loan of State bonds. The State of Tennessee was
then in good credit, and her six per cents brought a

lars, the owners of them join in bringing these actions,
claiming that the State lien provided by the original act
was an instrument of security taken for the benefit of
the internal improvement bondholders; that is to say,

legislation and action of the State fixed upon
the railroads respectively a lien not only in favor of the
State, but also in favor of each bondholder, which latter
the State could not by its legislation of 1869-70, and
cannot, discharge.
These are, in brief, the facts and question which were
presented to the Court. Judge Withey, in deciding
the case, says in the first place (very much as we asserted
eighteen months ago) that the issuing of the internal
improvement bonds was a transaction between the State
and the companies solely;, that the State made and
agreed to pay the bonds, the company in no degree
whatever becoming a debtor to the bondholder, or prom¬
ising or implying a promise to pay him. Consequently,
and in accordance with such facts, the lieii given is

expressly and solely to the State. It was the State that
the railroad company dealt with altogether.
The State
dictated the terms and the company

accepted them ; the

(1) that the State should have a lien upon
company’s property for principal and interest; (2)
that the interest should be paid by the company to the
State at least fifteen days before it should become due;
(3) that the principal of the bonds should be paid by
the company by means of a sinking fund provided by it

The State was at a premium. It would require therefore a very plain

almost precisely similar to that which the Legislature
provided for subsequently. Evidently if the company
could, by the original act, purchase any Tennessee bonds
in settlement of its debt, the special bonds issued could
not constitute a lien except to the State.
An attempt
was made by the
complainants to use the latter half of
the seventh section to support their interpretation of the
law.
But we showed last February (Chronicle, Feb.
15, 1879,) the utter weakness of such a claim, and it is
unnecessary to repeat our remarks here.
Finally, the Legislature, in 1869-70, by law, provided
for the discharge of the lien, and thus interpreted its
meaning and the intention of the law maker in creating
it. Of course, a subsequent act could not violate a
plain provision in the original statute in the bond¬

authorities, with the legislative sanction,
accepted payment of the bonds, discharged the lien,
and permitted new bonds to be issued by the com¬

expressed our opinion none too strongly when we
stated, over eighteen months ago, that these suits would
prove
harmless.”

If

there has been any

change, it has been in the direction of
greater stubbornness, of a more resolute determination not
only not to yield, but to resist interference. The attitude
of Turkey at the present moment is one of open defiance
to Europe—the same Europe which two years ago inter¬
posed to save her from destruction.
The important question now is—What will the Powers
do? Congresses have failed.
Naval demonstrations have
failed.
Warnings and threats have failed. Will Turkey
be left to herself ? Will the Treaty of Berlin, after all that
lias been done to give it effect, be allowed to remain a
dead letter ?
Is Europe to back down before the intrac¬
table and obdurate Turk, or is Europe to rise up in her
majesty and enforce her authority? There are many
possibilities. The present naval demonstration may be
abandoned or it may be transferred from the Adriatic to
the iEgean, from Dulcigno to Constantinople.
There
may be an agreement on the part of the Powers to supple¬
ment the naval forces
by an adequate land force. What¬
ever may be
finally agreed upon, it is hardly conceivable
that the Sultan and his advisers will be allowed to have

It is more likely to be a body of men taken from

This latter fact has

given fresh encouragement to
by some of the Powers,
notably by Great Britain and Russia, that the point at
which the allied fleets should demonstrate, should be Con¬
stantinople, rather than Dulcigno. In the meantime it is
reported that Dulcigno has been fired, either by the Turks
or by the Albanians, and
that the town is wholly or par¬
tially destroyed ; later, however, the report is denied.
It is really difficult to predict what is to be the end of
all .this confusion.
We are hardly permitted to think
that the combined Powers of Europe will back down before
the Turk. -Yet there are no signs of action; and the
abandonment of the demonstration is
openly talked of.

It is well known to all the Powers
that, in the present
tottering condition of the Turkish empire, occupation is
more likely to be
permanent than temporary. Russia or
Austria would be willing enough to furnish all the land
troops necessary; but it is not the desire of the other
Powers to give any one of those mentioned
any further

If the French admiral is hindered by any legal techni¬
cality, now, the difficulty will remain whenever it may be
agreed to take active measures. The objection which
holds at Dulcigno will hold at Stamboul.
It has appeared
also that both Germany and Austria, while anxious to
have, the Treaty of Berlin carried out, are unwilling to
employ force. What has been wanted, therefore, has
been unity of purpose and confidence in each other.
The
probability now is that the attitude which Turkey has
assumed, and the choice which the Powers are compelled
to make between a humiliating defeat and the enforce¬
ment of their authority, will beget a common sentiment,
and lead to united and determined action.
It needs but
this to make an end of the whole Eastern difficulty. It
will not be wonderful, therefore, if it should turn out that

Canadian Pacific.—The press despatches from Quebec, Sept.
7, have the following: “Sir John McDonald, who has arrived here'
from England, states that satisfactory arrangements have been
entered into with a syndicate for the completion of the Canada
Pacific Railway within ten years, and for the running of the
road for a further period of ten years; also that he had
obtained satisfactory guarantees for the perfecting of these
arrangements. The syndicate was composed of eminent capit¬
alists of Frankfort, Paris, London, New York and Canada. Sir
John stated that his two colleagues and himself abroad, by an.
order of the Governor-General in council, must first report the
result of their labor, with all details, to the Governor-General
in council, and they would then discuss in council whether it
would be in the public interest to publish any or all details of

imports and of domestic and foreign the
proposed arrangements before laying them before Parlia¬
exports for the month of August, 1880, and for the eight and ment.”

United States Bonds.—Government securities
have been
feverish in tone, but without any notable movement. The
remarks above refer to the extreme range in prices, and, in

general way, give the cause for the recent decline. At the
Treasury purchase on Wednesday the offers to sell amounted
to $6,569,350, and $2,500,000 were accepted,
including $1,957,200
0s of 1881, at 104’47@104‘60; $540,S00

theory to account for this than the fact that the uncertainty
hanging about the elections of October and November is con¬
sidered an obstacle to the entering just now upon a long bull
campaign. On the other hand tke whole commercial situation,
the railroad earnings, &c., are too strong to warrant a heavy
bear movement against the market, and thus the best chances
lie in the quick turns within a 5 per cent limit of fluctuations.
This is nearly an off-hand view of the general situation of the
market, and should not be taken as applying closely to any par¬
ticular stocks. Earnings for the third week of September keep
up well.

ment bonds and stocks at the New York Stock Exchange for tiie

again shown its versatility, and from the cloudy appear¬
ance at the date of our last
writing has brightened up to a con¬
dition of relative steadiness, and even
buoyancy. Whether the
market is controlled by leading operators, or whether it is
influenced by the common action of general buyers who chance
to turn their operations in the same direction at
once, it cer¬
tainly happens that the up and down movements have been
quick and decided, and have resulted in the’,“milking” process,

The money market lias been
quite easy at 2@3 per cent on
call loans and 5@3% per cent for
prime commercial paper.

by the operations of leading speculators acting in
unison, it is rather plain that the “milking” process is the
policy which has been recently adopted as the best for their
purposes. Possibly these sharp fluctuations within a limit of
about five per cent have been considered the most profitable lows:
sort of manipulation for the period of six weeks before th$

day at 107M ex-coupon. This is equivalent to 108% coupons

In our remarks at that time the lowest price should
have been stated as just mentioned, 10S%» which was 2
per
cent below the highest price ever made—these bonds
having
sold on September 3 at 110%. Perhaps the shortest, and also
the most accurate account of the movement in
Governments,
may be given by the simple statement that the impression sud¬
denly came over many holders of the four per cents that these
bonds at 110%, and on the eve of a Presidential election, were
a very good sale.

The old board of directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad

Company was re-elected Sept. 29, with three'exceptions : Ashbel H. Barney and Wm. R. Garrison of New
York, and Henry
E. Johnston of Baltimore, were chosen in
place of J. Fraley
Smith of Philadelphia, J. C. Ainsworth of
Oregon and J. N.
Dennison of Baltimore. At a
subsequent meeting of the direct¬
ors the
following resolution was adopted :
That the directors of the company be, and
they are hereby, requested
provide, at as early a day as in their judgment shall be
prudent, for the construction, completion and equipment of the com¬
pany's railroad from its eastern terminus on Montreal River to
Puget
Hound, and for that purpose to' use and
employ all the resources of the
company so l'ar as required, and to execute such
mortgage or mortgages
on its whole or
any part or parts of its line, constructed and to be con
structed, with the appurtenances and the lands
granted by Congress
appertaining thereto, as shall seem to the board of directors best calcu¬
lated to accomplish the early
completion of the

The contract is for a period of fifteen
from May 1, 18S0. On January 1, 1880, the company
began doing the express business on its lines in Minnesota and
Dakota. The net earnings for the first six months were
$15,778,
against $6,042 received from express companies during the same
period last 'year. The company has also made contracts with
four steam elevators and five
horse-power elevators, and the

This meeting has been called to consider certain questions

with the
Metropolitan and Manhattan companies. It is probably known to you

that there are still unsettled accounts between this company

and the
Metropolitan Company, growing out of the tripartite agreement and
leases which you sanctioned at your meeting in May, 1879.
One of
these relates to the $3,000,000 paid to the Manhattan Company by this
oompany-for the completion of its lines, part of which had been expended
on the Metropolitan Company’s lines.
The point in dispute was referred
to Messrs. John F. Dillon. Courtlandt Parker and Chas. D. Ingersoll, who
decided in favor of this company. There still remained a balance of
about $700,000 to be paid in by the Metropolitan Company for the com¬
pletion of its lines. This amount that company claimed to have invested

real estate, the title to which stood in the name of the Loan & Im¬

real estate should either be conveyed to the Metropolitan Company or
to a trustee for it. This proposal was declined by the Metropolitan

Pullman’s Palace Car

Company.—In the United States

September 25, tbe Pullman Palace Car
Company, of Chicago, filed a bill of complaint and prayed for
an injunction against the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
to restrain it from the construction and use of palace cars
which, it is claimed, are infringements on the Pullman patents.
The bill of complaint is an extensive document, and sets forth
in detail the history of the Pullman Company and its contract
with the Baltimore & Ohio Company. It alleges that the
Baltimore & Ohio entered into a contract with it for the use of
cars Oct. 1, 1870, and now that the contract is about to expire,
it is in the act of building, at Dayton, Ohio, a number of palace
cars which are infringements on the Pullman patents.
The
Pullman Company therefore prays the Court for a perpetual
injunction to restrain the Baltimore & Ohio from either the

St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern—This company, having
purchased sundry obligations of the Memphis & Little Rock
Railroad Company of Arkansas, and also a controlling amount
of its stock, gives notice that on or after thirty days from
September 25, it intends to issue a certain amount of additional
stock, not exceeding 15,000 shares, of the St. Louis Iron Moun¬

for said purchase of stock and obligations.
St. Louis & Pacific.—A despatch to the Chicago Times from
Omaha, Sept. 29, says : “ A special train arrived in Omaha
this morning with Solon Humphreys and other officers of the
Wabash lime. They came here from Keokuk, where they met
representatives of the Missouri Iowa & Nebraska road, a recent
accession to the Wabash, and arranged for the extension of that
road to a connection with the Omaha Extension of the Wabash,

ing in the suit of the Western Union Telegraph Company,
against the Kansas Pacific Railway Company and the American
Union Telegraph Company, before Supreme Court Justice
Miller and Judge McCrary, which began in St. Louis Sept. 21,
was terminated on the 25th.
The hearing was upon the motion
of the defendants to dissolve the injunction secured by the
Western Union Telegraph Company in February last, in Kan¬
sas, and under which the Telegraph Company recovered back
the possession of its lines seized by the "Gould combination,
which had the control of the Kansas Pacific road, and which
sought to put the lines under the control of the railroad and
the American Union Telegraph Company. It had been alleged
by the railway company that its contract with the Western
Union Company, under which the latter held and operated the
lines, was void and inoperative. To meet this and other objec¬
tions, the Western Union amended its original bill with many
allegations, and that among others that, aside from the contract
it derived by the title to the lines through the United States
Company, in

the
reduction in the production alluded to last week has not
pre¬
vented a decline in soft white and yellow,
though hard sugars
have generally remained firm, crushed
being quoted at 10%c.,
and powdered at 10]4@10%c., though
granulated has fallen to

Kio coffee has fallen to 14%c. for fair
cargoes during the past
week, the depressing influences being slowness of trade and
rather liberal arrivals. Mild grades have sold
moderately at
easy prices. Rice has been fairly active and steady. Molasses
has been dull for both refining and
grocery stock, and prices
have shown little change.
Raw sugar has sold fairly at prices
showing no wide variations from those last quoted. At the
close fair to good refining is quoted at
7%@7%c. The fol¬

p

activity and excitement to the speculation in
delivery early in the week, owing to the exces¬
sive sales which had been made for September delivery.
Not¬
withstanding the free receipts at the ports, supplies at this mar¬
ket had been moderate, and stocks here were kept down by free
shipments. Consequently, as the last days of September ap¬
proached, the market, in speculative parlance, “ cornered itself/
and a sharp advance took place in September deliveries.
The
general market also improved on the weather reports indicating
a renewal of
rains in the Mississippi Valley.
The highest
figures were reached on Monday, however ; and in the course of
Tuesday and Wednesday there were important declines for all
deliveries. A feature of Wednesday’s business was an improve¬
ment in October as compared with other months, and it was
intimated that speculative manipulation may cauge a " corner
in deliveries for this month.
Yesterday a firmer opening was
followed by a general decline, under weak foreign advices, con¬
tinued good weather at the South and renewed weakness in
Southern markets. To-day a firmer opening was followed by a
decline, which carried prices to the lowest figures of the week. J
Cotton on the spot was advanced £c. on Monday and reduced £c.
on
Wednesday, following the fluctuations of September deliveries.
Yesterday prices were 1-16c. lower, and to-day there was a
further decline of 3-16c, middling uplands closing at ll^c.

Receipts prom the Plantations.—The following table isprepared for the purpose of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations.
Receipts at the outports are some¬
times 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
Southern 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 out ports.

pelled to repeat must of our last week’s figures in the above table.
The stock at Liverpool, according to the estimated running count,
would be 541,000 bales; but actual count makes it 73,000 bales less.
The actual American in stock is also found to be 70,000 bales less than
the running estimate.
*

The above figures indicate an increase in the cotton in sight to¬
night of 352,9 7 bales as compared with the same date of 1879,
an increase of 236,037 bales as compared with the corresponding
date of 1878, and an increase of 60,446 bales as compared with 1877.
In the preceding visible supply table we have heretofore only
included the interior stocks at the 7 original interior towns.
As we did not have the record of the new interitr towns for the
four years, we could not make a comparison in any other way.

First Export.from
24 'states that

Norfolk.—The Norfolk Virginian of Sept.
exported this season

“ the first cargo of cotton

yesterday afternoon on the fine British steamer
Farnley, Capt. Grant, for Liverpool. The Farnley carries out
the largest cargo for her tonnage ever shipped from this
country, and we invite attention to the following figures, which
speak for themselves: Her cargo was 6,025 bales cotton, 152
tons ma iganese, 5,000 treenails and staves, and 144 cattle on
deck. The Farnley was loaded at the mammoth presses of
Messrs. Reynolds Bros., and by the aid of their improved
patented steam band pullers. The cargo shows the extraordin¬
ary average of 4 61-100 bales to the ton. The cotton weighed
2,867,934 pounds, an average of 476 pounds to the bale. This
clearance is just two weeks earlier than our first exports of last
left Norfolk

season.”
