should not have done it; for Mr.. b.
was getting his sails set to catch the
broeze when this unexpected toss OF
the elomental Democracy lurched his
slup and took all the wind from the
bleaclisd canvas.
Mr.. TomlinsOn said, Mr.. Bradford
would like to know, whether, when
the United State authorities took the
cases Of certain United States officers
from the state Court In which said
officers were indicted, to the United
States District Court, they had first
thought proper to inquire whether
those men had a probable defense
upon the facts; whether they were
gully or not guilty as indicted.
Momeniarlly disconcerted by this
House thrust, Mr.. Bradford said that
the cases were not parallel. and that
she trials of these U. 8. officials had
been removed to the u. 8. Courts un-
der authority Of an act of Congress
commanding or authorizing that pre-
else thing TO be dose.
The vote upon the resolution was
laken and to the surprise Of every one

STATE DKRT.
Chief Justice Cumegys makes sug-
gestions as to the bonds to be issued.
to the committee having charge or
that portion OF the Governors Mes
sage. In letter 70 Mr.. Nc Whorter
he hist lays down the advantages to
be derived and the manner of issuing
said bonds. He says: "At the time
Of the sale Of the present bonds there
was much objection made, that they
were made payable on or before GER
tain day thus leaving il optional with
the State to pay them before they aa-
tured or not. How far that eonsidera-
ton affected the sale, IL is (of course)
impossible to know but the fact was
that tho sale was much below the par
Of the bonds, (sOme Of them selling at
25 per cent. discount) while the cham
nels Of money were really choksd with
idle funds seeking investment" Then
he speaks OF the bitterness of party
feeling and the distrust engsndered,
and the prompt payment Of tho semi
annual interest which did away with
the idea Of repudiation.
His second reason for tho plan which
follows is: "By making a portion of
the bonds of small denomination you
would give to small investors the same
advantage M 70 capt. alis's, and argues
to sustain 1t by saying that many per-
sons would take up these bonds rather
than deposit their earnings in a saw
InSs bank or loan iS to private indi-
HIS suEReations are;
Leave out the feature allowing the
State to redeem NJ her option, aud make
all the bonds payable At the end OF ten
years and 20 bear four per cant interest.
2. Make them all payable to bearer,
md OF these denominations: $1,000, $500.
S25D, 500, $50. The proportions Of
each to be according TO some judlciods

8. In the case OF ali the bonds above
$3.50 mako tie interest payable half
yearly, and with resp, ct to the others

realized BY properly converting the Sc
curites, and proceeds TO Rivo his Dlan,
