On. the complananls' petition for leave
to the receivers to accept and provide for
al extension OF time for payingscerta
obligations OF the defendant 10 creditors
desiring to forbear the collection OF the
principal sums due them.
This petition was, after due notice to
counsel OF other partiesin interest, brought
on for hearing, and argued on the oath in
slant. The decision OF the court is now
delivered as follows by
HUGHES. j. The Circuit Judge was
willing at once to sign the order asked for
by the complainants on the oath instant; but
we concurred in thinking it we'll to take a
few days for consideration, and l am now
ready to state the grounds Of the action Of
the court.
The petition OF the trustees OF the con-
solidated mortgage sets forth that certain
bonds secured by certain mortgages on the
divisional roads OF the defendant company,
and amounting in the aggregate.to 1866, 944,
are past due, or will soon mature; and that
the holders OF large portion OF them are
content TO forbear the payment OF the prin-
cipal so due, and would do so II relieved
from the necessity, when collecting the
scmi-annua interest accruing and to ac-
cruc. Of transmitting their bonds to the
places Of paying interest, and having each
payment endorsed on the bonds. The petit
ton, therefore, asks rs q convenient means
OF making and cvidencing these payments
that the receivers be allowed to prepare
coupons for the payment OF future interest,
to be attached to- such bonds us may be held
by persons willing to forbear the collection
of the principal due them, and to continue
to receive the semi-annual interest which
their bonds now carry. -~. Z: 2.
The classes of bonds and obligations past
due or soon to fall due, to which the petit
ton refers, are as follows:
$4,000 OF the Z per cent. first mortgage bof7sit
Of the Norfolk and Petersburg road
which were due III 1868, and were e.~
tended 10 1875. and
100000 Of the per cent first mort gage bonds OF
said road which were due in S6S and
were extended to 1S77-rhe two making

The End of the Scbutzeufest

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The Schutzenfest
closed with a remarkable special from Simon
Wolf, president of the verein. It may be re-
membered that Hayes Key and Schurz went
to the Schutzenfest, and that Hayes appoint
ed Simon Wolf as recorder of deeds, quite
fat office. A bouquet, with Mrs. Hayes COM
pIjments, also found its way into the hands
of the Scheutzen kaiser.
Extract from VOLTS speech: We, catching
the spirit that should animate the capital of
great nation have tried our best to 50 beau
tify and adorn our park as to make it at
tractive and resort for the better elements
We endeavor to make our annual festivals a
summer recreation, week of innocent en-
ioyment, mirth and iollity, and If our wishes
are not always realized, it is no fault Of the
Verein, but rather of those who take advan-
tage of the opportunity; thus we have been
held responsible by those citizens who at
other times and places seem to be virtuous
and sober, but who at the Seheutzen Park
throw off their white robes and flaunt through
the shady mazes arm in arm with their fallen
Christian sisters. So notorious has this be-
come that the Verein, in self-defense, will
hereafter publish the names of every respect
able person thus offending, for we have no de-
sire or ambition to be used as a means for
vice or immortality"

BOYNToN's STATEMENT.
Tie Denies Meore's Charge of Matchmaking
Him

BosToN. Aug. s.-The following appears in
the HeroM this morning
FARRAGUT HOUSE, Rye Beach, N; H., Aug,
THE declaration of Special Treasury
Agent Moore, that attempted to blaekmail
him, does not contain single element of
truth. | never sought. at any time, to com
municate with him either directly or indi-
rectly, for any purpose whatever.
The statement that published certain pa
pers after the failure, to obtain money from
him as the price of their suppression, is
equally false, since the papers in my possess
sion relating to him have never yet been pub
from official files of the Treasury were ever
put in my hands by Mr.. Sturtevant or any
body else
Moore was not removed on account of the
His removal followed from the discovery of
series of original documents largely in
Moores handwriting showing, beyond the
possibility of a doubt, that at the time Secre-
tary Schurz and Chas. Sumner were attempt
ing to investigate the Santo Domingo matter
through a committee OF the Senate, Moore,
then Assessor of the Internal Revenue in
Texas, entered into q conspiracy with Gen:
Babcock and Cots. Whitley and Nettleship, OF
the secret service force, to shield Babeock
and defeat some of the most important OBJ
jects of that investigation. To accomplish
this it was necessary to get one OF the wit
nesses against Babcock living in Rhode, Is
land, out Of the way. Moore manufactured an
been a Union soldier in Texas with murder.
On this he procured requisition on the Gov
ernor of Rhode island for this witness.
Moore came with these papers to Washing
ton. Babcoek, who was then at the White
House, gave him letter to Whitley, request
ing the assistance Of the latter Whitley
sent Nettleship to Bristol to try and kidnap
the witness. and take him at night by the
Fall River boat to New York, and thence to
Washington, where it was thought the courts
could be induced not to grant a writ Of habeas
corpus. The plot which was more infamous
Gf possible, than the safe burglary in which
the same parties figured, failed, but all the
was removed HI. V. BOYNToN.

THE COURTHOUSE.

Notwithstanding the dilapidated condition OF
the old courthouse, undergoing its yearly re-
pairs, which but little improve it's condition,
Judge Rightor held court yesterday in the Fourth
District Court and was subject to the usual
belaboriDg Of the lawyers who had rules and
applications for summary processes before him.
The rest of the building was in the hands OF the
carpenters, plasterers, Publishers, whitewashers,
etc., and exhibited a chaos ef confusion and
jumblement. It was creditable to the calmness
and self-poise of Judge Rightor that he could
listen 90 patiently to the arguments Of counsel
u 1der snch circumstances.
We are gratifisd to observe that something is
being done in the way Of repairing the old build
ing 1t is disgrace to the city and State that
the temple Of justice should be left in such con-
dition as this old structure has long been expos
ing the most valuable Judicial records to destruc-
tion and decay, and subjeeting the officials and
the lawyers and attendants ON the courts to so
much discomfort and annoyance in the conduct
of judicial business.
Litigation. with it's inevitable annoyances and
burdens, is always an unpleasant business. But
to add physical discomforts and dangers thereto
is putting the last straw on the cameps back.
Our sheriff and clerks ought to have larger,
more commodious and better arranged
rooms, wherein to conduct their
weighty operations and to preserve the judicial
records. The old Spanish building allotted to
our judicial business belongs 10 the city. 1t was
transmitted to us by the old Spanish dominion,
and We owe to that respectable old antecsssor the
due and proper preservation Of it, by frequent
and solid repairs, and such, we hope, the city
government will bestow on the old edifice 80 that
when the regular terms of the courts are opened,
there will be no repetition Of the complaint so
common for years past, that no great State or
city ever condemned the blind but majestic God
desc, to abide in 80 unsafe and uncomfortable
temple.
