THE BOND QUESTION.

Much has been said on this subject but at best
it shows a few hard facts which must be plain
to every one, and which it is well to face boldly
and manfulIy- In the first place the claims
against US are enormous, and wholly beyond
our power to pay. Secondly; these claims,
though most unjust, have been decided by the
courts thus far to be valid, and binding upon
US. Thirdly; the courts have never yet failed
to enforce their judgments. Now to pay the
face of these claims is simply impossible; to
resist the final decision of the Courts would
be ruinous. There are therefore but two prae-
ticable ways left for US, and they either to
compromise on reasonable terms, or to seek
relief through the Courts. If the latter course
is feasible it certainly is the preferable one,
and we are inclined to believe that it can be
made to succeed At the meeting last Thurs
day night gentleman, thoroughly, well posted,
and an able and consideIate counsellor, said,
off they will not accept so cents on the dollar,
we will fight it out. But if we can flight it
OUT at all, we can do so without offering them
so cents, or one cent on the dollar If, as able
lawyers tell US, our case is good, and there are
certainly many informalities in the issue of
the bonds, it is far better, chesper and more
satisfactory to spend our money in defending
our case in The Courts, than in paying the
bondholders The Lowest rates at which we
could hope to compromise would require
enormous sum; one quarter of that sum would
enable US we think to get our cases into court
again and to carry them to the U. s. Supreme
Court, where, if they were ably and fully pre-
sented, we believe the judgments against US,
would be reversed, and final relief from our
difficulties obttine1.
The bondholders do not fear the cry Of
sRepudiation"- believe the Courts can
enforce their decisions; but they do fear to see
us fight them through the Courts; and we be-
lieve as a matter ofpolicy fit was our purpose
to compromise, that it would be advisable to
make vigorous assault upon the legality of
these claims and that ten thousand dollars ex-
pended in that way would go farther towards
reducing our Indebtedness by bringing down
the price of the bonds in market, than four
times the amount spent in buy ing them in at
present rates We should therefore in any
event be in favor of authorizing the Common
Council to retain one or two first class lawyers
aud give them -ull authority to prosecute these
claims to a final decision. We can not fail
so az to be worse off than we are now; if we
succeed it will be the cheapest and most eX ped
itious mode OF dispesing OF the matter.
