WAsH1NaToS, April 28.-In the pub

man intends to stop the sale of the II
per cent bonds Of the new loan as soon
as they appreciate In value 80 as to
bring the per centssfo par, the facts
are Just these On the 24th Of last Au-
gust a contract was made with the
Rothschilds-S -Seligman-D Drexel syndicate.
This syndicate was to take $500, 900, ,00)
Of Al per cents at par, less the one-quar-
ter Of per cent commission, by the
30th Of june, 1877. There was a proviso
in the contract that at any time after
the 4tfl Of March the Secretary could ter
inmate it by giving ten days. notice. This
provision was made SO as not to hamper
any new administration that might
follow Grant. The syndicate has been
very active and successful In it's opera
tions. They have sold all the bonds
that calls have been made to Offset
amounting to $140, 600, COO; and the indi-
cations are, judging from the regular
tone OF the market, that they will sell
$50, ,000, 900 month more between now
and the 30th of June. Our bonds, mean
time, have appreciated in value, and the
general supposition is that III the Koths-s
childs and Seligmans do not lend too
much money on account Of the Eil ~
pean war. the Syndicate will houlder
the responsibility and purchase out
right on their own account the $780,

IOincpnaH Enquirer
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Cabinet
discussed to. day the duties of the United
States rs neutral nation during the
war in the East. Assistant Secretary
Seward, who represented the State De-
partment ia the absence of Evarts, in
formed the Cabinet that dispatches had
been received both from Minister May
nard at Constantinople, and the Charge
d'Affairs at st. Petersburg, announcing
that Russia had declared war against
Turkey, but that the State Department
had no official information from either
OF the powers at war that state OF war
existed. That being the case, the Cab
met, OF course, took no action, as the
government does not officially know of
the existence Of war until officially in
formed of the fact by one of the
powers at war. The Cabinet did
however, consider what steps should be
taken on the receipt of such informa-
ton. Seward explained the neutrality
laws, which are very plain. The Cabi-
as soon as official notification Of the
war was received, it would be the duty
or Hayes to issue proclamation of
neutrality-similar to the one issued by
Grant at the outbreak of the Franco
Prussian war-warning all citizens Of
the United States against breaking the
neutrality laws. The only two points
OF present interest concerning these
laws is the right Of foreign men Of war
in our ports, and the right Of private
firms to sell and shi p arms to foreign
belligerents. The first point is of inter
est now, as Russian fleet is in our
waters. So long as the government is
not officially notified Of war, it Is. Of
course, free to remain, and, If it pleases,
fit itself out with all American
Of neutrality shall have been
issued, it can still remain as long as it
pleases, but 1t can not make any Ameri-
can port the basis OF operations against
any other nation. 1t Is an error to sup
pose the Providence Tool Company,
Which IS furnishing arms to Turkey, or
Smith q Wesson, Of Springfield, Mass,
who are furnishing arms to Russia, can
not continue to supply those nations.
ANY private firm can supply nations at
war WITH such goods, but they are con-
traband OF war, and must be shipped at
the risk OF the contracting parties, the
American Tag not protecting them on
the high seas. A strong influence is
working here to induce the government
not to issue proclamation of neutrality.
but follow England's example during
the late war and repeal our navigation
laws, which would force transatlantic
vessels to take out American registers
and sail under the American flag,
II was the general opinion of the
Cabinet that the issue Of a neutrality
proclamation should be delayed until
the last possible moment.

The difficult was the result of long
standing feud growing out OF political

It was charged that Judge ChrishoIm

public feeling, which since the shaving
of Gulley had been growing flercely
excited, rose to such height that the
parties suspected Of a participation in
