The "True InWardness" of the
Movement of the Sprague Cred
itOrS.

The published CORE ,poI dcncc between the com
mttee of creditors of the Spra ne estate. and Mr.
Chafec Trustee, attracts general attent on, so wide
is the direct and indirect interest in these affairs
People generally, we judge, Interpret Nj. Chafcc's
letter, as does he Boston Traveller, as indicating
a disposition to "hold the fort" Probably the
committee regard it in the same light, and will ac-
cept the challenge to try conclusions in the courts
Under these circumstances, It is proper to give, as
part of the history Of the proceedings, the fol
lowing extracts from toe report of the committee
appointed at the meeting of creditors:
Briefly stated, it was the immediate and uulni
nous conclusion OF your committee that steps
should be taken at once TO secure Tor the credit
os if possible, the control OF the vast property OF
the A. Il W. Sprague Manufacturing Company,
and these are the facts on which such conclusion
Is based:
Nearly on year has elapsed since the expirat ION
OF the period during which we consented to wait
for our pay. leaving the property, meanwhile, in
the possession of the nsolyent CORPORATION, under
trustee and assignee of its own selection. No
recognition OF any changed relationship between
the bankrupt and their creditors has been evlnced
No Information as to the condition of TIE proper
" or as to the results of the prospects of the
busi.ess for which it has been used has been vol
unteered. No steps have been taken TO ascertain
whether or net the creditors had any views
wishes as to the Management of the property
pledged for their sole benefit, and, indeed, far
As your committee know, 10 sign has appeared
that the corporation or its tInstee and assignee is
aware Of the existence of such thing as a ctedi-
tor.
Whatever NAV have heen the fact at the date OF
the ia lure in 1873, it is now perfectly clear that
under the shtinkage OF value, which uas gone on
III the pat two years, there Is row no valuable
equry OF exemption IN the proI city Of the in-ol-
vent corporation IL cannot pay lis debts aud have
anything lett. Clearly, then, it Is the interest Of
the members OF the corporation to centinue the
existing state OF things as long as possible and
can anything be more certain, than that it is not
for your interest to leave this immense estate with
out any accounting IN the hands of these whose
interest II Is to keep y0n out of it.
Tue next move, which must come from the
committee. if they do not propose to wait for Mr.
Chafees summai zed .tatemcnt,w will be watched for
with uncommon interest. Both sides have learn
ed and able counsel; some of the points likely to
come up are novel, and the issues depending are
immense.-[ Providence Journal.

While in this country we are enjoying
exceptionally mild weather, the contend
ing armies in Southern Europe are suffer-
Ing the seventies of hard winter. Snow
two feet deep and singing cold have
nearly put an end for the time being 10
military operations, while many men and
horses have persisted from exposure and
insufficient food and provender. The
hardy Cossacks need all their endurance
to keep the field against snow and frost.

The close OF the year 1877 will long be
noted for the remarkably warm and sunny
weather which attended it, Violets and
dandelions were found in bloom in this
latitude last week, children sport in the
bright sunshine, the river has not yet been
skinned over with ice except on the
edges, and travelling on wheels is nearly
as comfortable as in summer. The re.
corder OF these facts may probably refer
to them for many years as being un.
equalled in this climate.
