ACoMpLICATED LAWSUIT. very interesting
lawsuit was to have been begun at Norridge-
wock yesterday,ithe parties being John Ware of
Athens, plaintiff, and John and E. NJ Rand,
lawyers Of this city, defendants. The facts, as
alleged by the plaintiff, are as follows: Prior
to 1862, Mr.. Ware bought some $4,000 worth
of the old Maine Central railroad bonds at very
low figure. When, sometime ago. Mr.. Ware
tried to induce the directors of the road to pay
him the value of the bonds in gold they declined
but rendered him the amount in greenbacks,
which they declared legal tender by the law of
1862 But Mr.. Ware thought that by more re-
cent decision of the United States Supreme
Court he should have gold. He went to Boston
and consulted cousel, but they rather declined
giving an opinion. He then came to Portland
and, through some Negotiations, agreed to take
$l70,0O0 In greenbacks with the proviso that if
the United States Supreme Court decision was
reversed in six months time that he was to
have no more; if twas not reversed then he
was to receive ten per cent. additional or about
$1,000. Mr. Ware went to Messrs. j. & e. NJ.
Rand to draw up the agreement, and said to
Mr. Rand ''Here are the $4,000 in bonds Of
the Maine Central" every we'll" says Mr.
bring you certificate of deposit" According
", Mr.. Rand goes across the street to the First
National Bank and hands over the bonds to the
cashier lwho had received orders to accept
the bonds) who credited Mr.. Ware with $751;
500, charged the same amount to the Maine
Central Company and handed Mr.. Rand the
certificate OF deposit for the amount and $500
change. Mr.. Rand then proceeded back to the
office and handed Mr.. Ware his certificate of
deposit for $167 900 and $500 cash, reserving to
himself $500 on the ground that by the rules
Of the Cumberland Bar he was compelled to
charge one per cent on all amounts collected
Mr. Ware denies that depositing money comes
under the head of collecting strictly speaking.
He thinks $1700 is a little too much money to
pay man for running across the street and de-
posting $4,000 in the bank. He has sum-
moned twelve of the most prominent members
of the Cumberland Bar as witnesses to inform
the public what the usage of the Bar is in such
matter. Of course there is another side to
the case, and the result will be looked for with
great interest

OUR Lake Sebago correspondent bases the
argumentative part of his letter ON the assum-
ed fact that the Ogdensburg road will indem-
Nifty the city for its loan of credit because the
Grand Trunk did. This is a great fallacy, but
one that has obtained a strong hold on many
minds. The Grand Trunk, when built, was
an Independent line, not tapped at three
or four points by roads running to larger cities
toward which traffic naturally gravitates. The
Ogdensburg road, on the contrary, is tapped
at North Conway and other points by roads
running to Boston, while for its Western con-
nection it depends on the Ogdensburg& Lake
Champlain road, which is now leased by the
Vermont Central road, aud which is sure to
discriminate against Portland, being control
led by Boston parties. And even the Grand
Trunk, or more properly, the Atlantic & St.
Lawrence, loan would inevitably have proved
a disastrous experiment if very powerful
and wealthy corporation had not stepped in
and taken the load off from our shoulders.

The Progress of the Ogdensburg Loan
Scheme.

Several weeks have now passed since the
proposition to loan the credit of the city to
the Portland d Ogdensburg railroad for
81, 100000 was formally made. The candid
observer viii be compelled to admit that no
progress whatever has been made by the
friends of that enterprise in modifying the
adverse public sentiment which was instantly
excited by the bare suggestion OF 1t. on the
other hand, men who were at first favorably
disposed toward it. have been brought to see
that the city cannot afford to burden itself
with so large an increase of its liabilities for
the sake of advantages that rest on so many
and so doubtful contingencies. We have the
greatest respect for the motives and purposes
of many of the gentlemen who still give 1t
their support. Men like Collector wash
burn, Samuel E. Spring and Woodbury. ).
Dana, whose only interest in the matter is
the general good of the city, and who appear
to be thoroughly convinced that it is of vital
importance in promoting the commercial and
business growth of Portland, are not proper
ly the object of animadversion. There are
many others who are to be classed with them,
and we name them only because they are more
prominently identified with the road than the
mass of citizens not directly connected with
its management. There are others who have
such an immediate and Overwhelming per-
sonal and pecuniary interest in the success OF
the loan that their energetic advocacy is just
ly regarded with great distrust. 1t is believed
that they would not, on grounds of good mu-
nicipal policy alone, devote SO much time,
strength and money to the support of any
enterprise, it not being claimed even by their
friends that there is anything in their charac-
ter or history that would lead them to
give their best efforts to works of pure phil
anthropy and disinterested benevolence. The
people cannot understand why they insist on
pushing the thing through against what is
obviously the settled opposition of at least
nine-tenths of the voters of the city, if the
public good alone is what they have in view.
Is it not clear that there are other men, whose
interest in Portland and in the prosperity and
happiness ofits inhabitants is as lively as their
own, and who are in perfect accord with the
prevailing public sentiment, who can be found
to relieve them of the responsibility of man.
aging the Ogdensburg enterprisep If the
members of the present board of directors
make advocacy of the loan a matter of con-
science-if they feel that the proper discharge
of the duties of their present position re-
quires them to go on as they have begun, ask
ing further aid of the city-why do they not
resign and let other good and patriotic men,
who believe as the people do, take the care
and labor off from their hands? We do not
know anybody that wants to take the posi-
tions that would be made vacant by the vol
untary retirement of the directors, but there
is no doubt that competent men could be
found, if it should be necessary to look for
them. H"f1 sGf Hi sif) ra5e
