As everybody knows, tho matter O
| the foreclosure of tho mortgages HEX
on the Wilmington, Charlotte s; Ruth
! ford Railroad, has been pending il
| the Superior Court for this County
for some time past. On Wednesda,
His Honor Judge Russell, granted th,
decree. This would have appeared il
yesterdays issue blt for the fact tha
we were requested to Withhold it unit
to-day.
Tho following is the substance of the
decree authorizing the foreclosure o
the mortgages and the sale of the road
It provides that z. +. Burruss, G. NJ
Steadnan and John d. Taylor shall be
appointed Referees to advertise and
sell the road under certain conditions
It authorizes them to receive the bonds
OF the road mentioned in the state
me.t below from the purchaser upon the
following terms: The said purchaser
or purchasers Will be required to pay
at once in cash, in lawful money of the
Unite, States. the sum of forty thous-
and dollars $40, ,00G) IL order to
defray the cash demand upon the
fund, the costs, charges and
expense of this action aud the
claims herein before rerited and
after SAID cash payment shall have been
made, as aforesaid, the remainder OF
tie amount of the purchase money may
be paid by said purchaser or purcbas,
crs in the snid mortgage bonds /; said

in such proportion to the par value of
said bonds as tho amount Of said re-
nainder of said purchase money bears
to the amount OF said bonds; that is to
say that, as the said $4,000, 900 bonds
are to be paid pro rata out of the said
remainder of said purchase money, any
OF the said bonds may be accepted by
the referees of tho purchaser or pur-
chasers rs the payment ct that rate
and to that amount, provided that the
same rateable proportion of cash be
paid in By the purchaser or purchas-
ers for ali the said mortgage bonds
not in the hands of, and not offered III
payment by, SAID purchaser or pur-
chaserS.
The Referees are then empowered,
upon proper conditions, to make q deed
ii the property to the purchasers.
Now that Il glimpse Of daylight is
visible. it is 70 be hoped that Judge
Onderdonk and his friends Will pur-
cll&a& and push this road through to
Charlotte 4. an early day. On it, de-
Ponds, III great measure, the future
prosperity OF Wilmington, and its pro-
gress is, therefore, watched with ali
absorbing interest. We shall certaini7-
Eejoico when tae Charlottase como
down over this road TO visit Us, and
We hops TIA; the GG:Y i6 not far distant
when wa shall witness such I sccnc.
The road has been through the fire
and Wo hope It mas soen its worst dar.
Now let it arise from It's ashes and be
Z I've corporation among Us.
