THE WILMINGTON AND WESTERN RAILROAD
"A RECEIVER APPOINTED.

THE WILMINGTON AND WESTERN RAILRoAl
"A RECEIVER APPOINTED.
Yesterday morning in the United States
Circuit Court, bill in equity was filed be
fore Judge Bradford, by George H. Bates
Esq. This was done on behalf of William
Calhoun, a citizen of New York and holder
of the roads bonds against the Wilmington
and Western Railroad Company, and the
trustees Of the mortgage bonds, Washington
Jones, Thomas Wood and George W. Bush
The bill sets forth at length the fact of the
road being mortgaged for $50O,000, and
that the interest is in default. Tt, therefore,
asks the foreclosure of the mortgage and an
order directing the sale of the road. There
were two other petitions presented to the
Court besides the bill, both of which repre-,
sent the interests of large bondholders.
One is signed by number of bondholders,
who have an interest of $168, 900 in the
mortgage bonds, and asks the appointment
of Vim. NJ Candy as Receiver. The other
is signed by number of other bondholders
representing $I2s, 900, asking the appoint
ment of James Bradford. The bonds OF
DeHaven & Bro. are on both papers, signed
on the first named by II. s. McComb, as
'Attorney-in fact for those parties, and on
the latter by s. NJ. Harrington, in the same
capa :ity. Their bonds are enamed as amount
ing to $6S, 600, in connection with Mr.. Nc
Combs signature, and $66, 600 on the other.
{The question arose whose power of attOr-
ncy was the latest, and Mr.. Harrington filed
that sent him Hith the Court. 1t was dated
yesterday, and directed him to act in behalf
Of DeHaven q Bro, in suggesting proper
person for Receiver.)
Upon the filing of the papers, the defend
ants to the suit appeared in Court, the
Trustees being represented by Edward G.
Bradford, Jr., Esq, and Mr.. Bradford, the
President being present, as were also the
Counsel Of the Company, Mr.. Harrington,
and the Secretary, John G. Farra.
The Court granted the order appointing
Receiver. An argument was then made
BY the counsel, Mr.. Bates and Mr. Spruance
for the Candy petition,a ,and Mr.. Harrington
and Victor dupont, Esq, for the Bradford
petition, at the conclusion of which, the
Judge announced that he regarded Mr..
Bradford disqualified for the place of re :
ceiver, by being President of the road,
elected by the stockholders, and that he
would appoint Mr.. Candy. He added that
except for the reason stated he should have
appointed Mr.. Bradford, having the highest
appreciation Of the active, faithful, and

A delegation of Baltimore sugar import
ers, recently had an interview with Secre-
tary Bristow, of the Treasury, regarding
sugar duties. They said they understood
him to favor the polarization test as against
the Dutch standard of color, and to adopt
an ad valorcm standard. They opposed both
propositions, and advocated single specific
rate of duty which would do away with all
disputes about grades and standards. This
would satisfy all parties in the sugar inter-
ests, and the rate might be fixed by Con-
gress to suit the wants Of the Government.
The Secretary had not given much personal
attention to the subject, but .said Congress
alone could change the tests, because they
we're distinctly named in the law. The
whole matter will come before Congress
early in the session.
