with strict regard to tho interests of the
people at large, from whom they derive their
powers.
Certain bond creditors Of the State, holding

have been exchanged for conversion bonds,
and are now outstanding in that form.
This decision of tho highest judicial tribunal
OF tho State, thus invoked by IL portion of the
public creditors, would seem to admonish the
State government that it should without de.

bonded debt, upon some practicable basis ol
adjustment alike to the State and
its creditors,-or prepare to witness proceed
