the committee made no proposition, hay-

per cent. for the first five years, five
per cent. for the second FIVE Yeas,
aud to return TO six per cent. thereafter.

T ON the State by boudholders, urging
that no compromise be made with the
committee, aud insisting that the State

strongest Of these letters was received
from the holder Of a few bonds residing
in the western portion Of the State.
The com nit;ee gave the arbiters a full
