H.. t,N, s5a1 road -

The New York Tribune of FRIDAY contain.
ed the following paragraph concerning the
success Of tho scheme of the hesapeake aud
Ohio Railroad Company to fund ito bouds in
order TO proceed with the heavy operations Of
it's road aud the completion Of its western
connections, which are indispensable to that
high degree Of activity aad prosperity which
the company Itself and all ofits friends have
SO confidently anticipated for its road;
''In regard to the funding Of the coupons
Of the Chesapeake aud Ohio bonds, Us pro.
posed by company in the circular Of the
treasurer dated October 81, We learn that he
has received alresdv the acceptances of hold
ers Of over s. 1000 900 Of the bonds, and it is
probable the plan will be carried out sub
stantially as laid down. Al the suggestion
Of some ofthe largest holders of the bonds it
has been proposed tnat instead Of au absolute
surrender Of the coupons to the company
they should be placed in escrow, so that
should . foreclosure under either Of the mort
cages. on tho road occur the coupons will
still be entitled to their liens under the mort
gage OF course as interest is paid on the
Income bonds an equal amount Of the cou-
pons held in escrow will be cancelled and de-
sivered to the company Tbi reasonable
suggestion of the bondholders will 10 doubt
b. acoeded to by the managers Of the eompa-
ny. With this mod6ca' ion tie objections to
the plan as irst put forth are removed, and
will doubtless iosure its general adoptioa."
The amount Of acceptauces Of the plan is
quite enough TO justify the expectation that
the oompany's funding scheme will succeed.
1t will be the best for all concerned With
suficiency Of rolling stock. and the extensive

We remember similar instance among
our own advertisers iu the panic of 1857.
A merchant continued his advertisements in
our columns through the whole period of

he discovered that her death was eccasioned
by poisonous dose of laudanum he was so

The Supreme Court. on the oath, decided
the case of tho Goserpmeut rs. Lapters and
others, in favor of the Government. The
case grew out Of the con6scation Of cotton
purchased prior TO the capture Of New Or
leans, and owned by parties in the North,
who therefore slammed compensation. The
Court, however, ruled adversely to the claim
for the reason that the purchase Of the cot
ton vas an cffectual aid to the enemy, and
was forbidden by the souudest principles Of
law. The purchaser, therefore obtaiued no
title and had no elaim for damages. From
this opinion two Of the Bench disssnted.

EDITORs CHRONICLE: In view of the
fact that one of the editors of your paper
has been chosen to the position of Mayor,
it is not improper for an outsider to ex-
press a sentiment to which you could not,
editOrially give utterance. 1 speak but
the sentiment of citizens in general with
whom he is acquainted when I say that
William Rule enjoys in remarkable de-
gree the confidence and esteem of the COM
munity: In the recent election he receiv-
ed many votes of citizens with whom, on
political matters, he differed widely.
Iti is an encouraging sign of the times
when citizens lay aside parties and preju-
dices in favor of man, whose capacity,
fidelity and integrity must lie admitted by
men of all parties CITIZEN.
