must be highly satisfactory to railroad creditors. The
question of usury which was put in by the Company
was decided against them; and another defense that
the mortgage read that when the principal and inter-
est was in default the trustee Of the mortgage might
enter upon possession and SELL set aside upon the
ground that the intention evidently was, that when
principal or interest in default the bondhoders
could sell. 1t was also urged by the Company
that the Corporation was not so absolutely
bankrupt as to make foreclosure necessary, but this
also was set aside The Court adjudged a verdict of
the amount paid by the bondhoders and interest and
ordered sale of the road TO satisfy their claims thus
fully sustaining the rights of railroad creditors under
mortgage It is believed that under appeal the full
amount of the bonds could have been recovered but
il was not thought best TO press this matter, the
judgment was already sufficient to absorb all the

large payments of commerce for banking and Custom
House transactions of such course it has been de-
cided that the previous system shalrema unchanged
Tie practical information of the intelligent Assistant
Treasurer at this port brought to bear upon this ques
ton has satisfied the Secretary of its impolcy, and
even convinced the Director Of the Mint himself of the
absurdity of the suggestion.
