THE TENNESSEE B0NDH0LDERS'
CLAIMS.
Suits Against the Railroads to be
Pressed by the Committee.
N. Y. Tribune, May cOth.

The Committee of Tennessee
Bondholders, of which Eugene
Kelley is the chairman, will issue a
circular to-day to the holders of
Tennessee bonds. A few months
G. Amory Stevens, the treasurer of
the committee, began suits on bonds
held by him against the railroads in
Tennessee. Charles O'Conor had
given an opinion that the bonds is
sued under the Internal Improve
ment acts were a first mortgage lien
on the railroads. The Kelly Com
mittee has decided to adopt these
suits with the approval of Brown
Brothers & Co., Maitland, Phelps
& Co., Ward, Campbell & Co., and
other large holders of bonds in this
city, and in Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and Chicago. The circular gives a
list of roads on which the bonds are
first mortgage liens and the amount
of bonds outstanding against each
road. These bonds amount to
$11, CAT, 900, and with accrued in
terest to $14,325,710. Funding
bonds issued in payment of interest
under the funding acts of 1866,
1868 and 1878 are not included in
the amount.
Bondholders wishing to share in
the benefits of the proposed litiga-
ton are required to deposit with
the committee SIS in cash and one
past-due coupon from each bond.
The committee announces that the
bondholders will not be called on
for further assessment and will not
incur personal liability. The COM
committee will engage as counsel
Charles O'Conor and E, L. An
drews, of New York, and Judge
Hoadley, Of Cincinnati.

ATHENS, TENN, May 20, 1879.
Upon returning from his recent trip
to the Pacific coast, Rev. J. F. Spence,
D. D., was requested by the Faculty
and students of East Tennessee Wes-
leyan University, to give lecture
before the school, detailing some OF
his experiences in that wonderful
country. In compliance with this re-
quest, DR.. Spence this evening deliv-
cred before large audience, composed
of the soudents and many of the town
people, graphic and interesting &C.
count of his trip ''from sunrise 10
sunset, and back again"
In commencing he said that the
greatest difficulty he experienced was
in selecting what points to particular
ize in the vast field from which he had
to choose; but he would begin the
account of his journey at Omaha,
from which point he would travel
rapidly over the wonderful plains of
Nebraska, and into Wyoming. Thence
he entered Colorado, which he de-
scribed as the central State the

and of copper; with its broad plains,
deep canons, lofty mountains, fertile
soil, genial climate and whole souled

summit of the Rocky mOuntains-the
grand continental divide-where en-
one side the waters of numerous
springs rippled timidly along as though
afraid to leave their mountain home
for the long journey to their final des-
tinatiOn in the bosom of the Atlantic
while on the other side the scene was
exactly repeated, except that here the
streams had for their destination the
Pacific. He spoke of Lawrence City,
and of Mirage, where occurs that won

which represent to the vision a grassy
plain, smiling stream and a thrOng-
ing city, which have no real exist
ence. He then touched at Virginia
City, the Great Bonanza region, and
sweeping down through the noun
tains, reached Salt Lake City and the
MormOns. Then through Nevada and
over the Sierra Nevada mountains,
