of Intervention the part of the United States be-
tween the Southern States and rebel cotton bondhold
crs compelling the former to repudiatc loans made in
favor of the Confederate government saving that the
credit of the Southern States is utterly annhilated BY
this act Of forced repudiation and that they will not
be able to borrow shilling in Europe until they are
allowed to pay this debt. lie argues that if this were

III Europe, and that FIVE twenty bonds would rule much
higher there if these loans were allowed to be paid
