1t is already apparent that the State is
opposed to any thing like reputation Of
lis obligation to adjust the old Railroad
bonds. Very few people acquainted with
the facts a.lmit that the bonds constitute
suel, claim as to render their full payment
indispensable to tue good name and credit
Of the State, but there are still less who
think that the State can honorably ignore
and repudiate them. 1t is quite probable
that the present Legislature will create
Board Of arbitration. to which the whole
matter will be submitted as preliminary
to its final settlement.
