The Redemption OF Five-Twenty Bonds.
AT the close Of business to-day there had been
received at the Treasury Department nearly six
millions OF hve-twenty bonds under the fourth call.
The secretary expects the amount will be in
creased to about ten millions by Monday next,
when the redemption Will begin, and during the
week that amount in gold Will be paid to the
owners, all OF whom reside in this country. Moth
ing has been received from the Syndicate by the
Secretary. The disturbed condition OF Europe, the
uncertainty Of peace in France and general feel
ing OF distrust may operate against further SUBJ
scrpti0ns to American securities.
The Government Credit Mobilier Suit To
BE Taken to the Supreme Court.
II has tanspired that the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS in the Credit Mobiiier suit will in a few
weeks file demurrer to the bill in equity, taking
the ground that the act under which the bill is
drawn already published in these dispatches, is
unconstitutional, and that Congress cannot enact
for the benefit OF TIE government what is denied
individual suitors that the act is in direct viola
ton OF existing laws under which the defendants
have right to ask protection, and until they are
placed on an equality with the plaintin there can
be no equitable proceeding. This will carry the
case to the Supreme Court, where the whole ques-
ton VIII be argued and the validity Of the act
determined. IT is admitted now by those faniiiar
with the case that this objection Of the defendants
may quash further proceedings.
