who are for the most part Germans fearing for the

THE CHARGE or PERJURY AND FRAUD AGAINST
THE oFFIcERs-THE EXAMINATION CON-
rINUED-AN EXPERT ON THE VALUE or

was continued yesterday afternoon In the Fifty

fed that the Louisiana levee bonds for
1873 quoted at from so TO 5s for three years;
for 1874 they from 20 to rs and the Kansas bonds
have not been quoted the Stock Exchange at all
during the past FIVE years. tho Georgia State bonds for
1873 were quoted at 9l the highest and 10 as tho

The witness on cross examination said that these
figures given by him from the Financial Chroice
which had obtained them from the Official lists OF tho
Stock Exchange could not say whether he had him
self bought or sold during the years 1873 or
1874 any securities, and could not say whether
he had witnessed any either bought sold besides
the Kansas State bonds Colorado and Nebraska bonds
are not bought or sold on the Stock Exchange wit
of the opinion that the market value OF State
bonds could neither be higher lower than the
prices brought at the Stock Exchange; bonds
which should not be quoted the Stock Exchange
for a year would not have a market
value they would be unstable for that year; If
tain bonds were not sold the Stock Exchange for
period OF two years. and during that time there
