THE COURTS.
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.
THE GAS CASE.

THE GAS CASE.
Counsel for Atrill and his associates yester-
day, submitted evidence in rebuttal of the
testimony on the opposite side.
A very interesting little point was raised
and decided, as to how far this rebutting evil
dence could go. The point came up in this
way. The defendants in the suit, claim that
them were fraudulent, and were made for the
purpose of compelling them to SELL and thus
''freeze them out" of the corporation.
The counsel on the opposite side produced a
resolution adopted by the board OF directors
to prove the purpose OF the assessment,
and yesterday they wanted to go further
and show by stimony that in addition
to the purpose Of the call, as set forth In
the resolution, there were others. 1t was
contended by the defendants that, having in
troduced the resolution to show the cause OF
the assessment, they could not go beyond it.
The point was overruled and bill OF excep-
lions was taken.
At the time Of Adjournment the rebutting
evidence was still being presented to the
jury.
Suit has been instituted in this court to re-
cover S8640 the amount Of note given by
the old Metropolitan Police Board for money
advanced to pay the police
The note is signed by G. G. Antoine as pres
ident and L. Z. Murdoch. fiscal agent and

ANEW YORK BoNDHoLDERs' VIEWS.

New YORK, February IL, 1879.
Honorable Speaker Of the Louisiana House OF
Representatives:
Dear Sir am holding a large amount OF
Louisiana per cent consol bonds, and | feel
anxious that your State may re-establiSh her
former good credit, and in SO doing permit me
to say that your State should! scale its pres
ent So, 600, 900 debt down one-half, and let the
rate of interest be fixed at per cent. Then the
State of Louisiana could promptly pay the
interest on such a debt without depressing her
people am willing to submit to a scaling Of
one-half for the purpose Of making the other
half first rate, which it would surely do.
1t is nonsense for the creditors of Louisiana
to attempt to saddle the State with debt be-
yOnd its ability to manage. From S., 100000 to
S6,OO0,00O of debt bearing per cent interest
is all that Louisiana can promptly manage.
l am truly, etc,
