Meeting Of virginia Bondhorders.

American holders Of Virginia deferred
bonds y met yesterday 10 confer with the
representative OF English holders to devise
means Of relief. The meeting was held in
the Wall-street Office OF Mr.. j. b. Manning,
and among the holders represented were
Vermilye IL Co., w. II. Hatch d Sons,
Chase Il Iiigginson. T.. Marx & Co., l. q ;.
Wormser & Co., Asiel e Co., Speyer az Co.,
s. De Jongc & Co., J. b. Manning, William
Lummis, Edward Bonner, Il. skeats, and
James Curphey. The representative OF
English interests was Mr.. G. Satterthwaite.
Nearly S8.O00,000 OF the bonds were repre-
sented, OF which Mr.. Satterthwaite and Lon
don associates hold between $4,000, 600 and
81. OOO, 900. President Garrett, OF the Bal
tiInorc and Ohio Railroad Company. who
is said to hold nearly s5,000,000 OF the
bonds, was the only interested party OF
consequence absent. The meeting was
private. "The Virginia deferred bonds
said Mr.. Manning later in the day,
"amount TO S10,000,000. They were issued
Low the State Of West Virginia in July,
1871, as the portion allotted to that State OF
old Virginia's ante-war debt, and repre-
scnting about a third OF that undisputed
debt. The bonds were provided for i'm
the Constitution OF West Virginia adopted
and ratified by the Federal Government
in 1863. They were to draw @ per
cent. interest annually, some OF which
has never been paid, and which now,
incorporated, amounts to over -, OOOOOc,
making the total debt SlG,0C0,00O. At our
meeting this afternoon we discussed mea-
sures looking TO the recovering at least
portion OF our money, and Mr.. Satter-
thwaite, upon the part OF the English
holders. stated that nc was willing to COM
promise at 80 per cent. We appointed a
committee with power TO take action in the
matter. The compromise at 80 per cent.
means that we will take new binds from
the state for SS,O00,0O0 as exchange for the
S1G. 600, 900 bonds and interest now held,
the new bonds to be at per cent. in lieu
Of the old per cent. II some action salts
factory to the bondholders is not soon
taken 1t is probable that the Court OF Claims
at Washington, or the United States SUI
preme Court, will be asked to give relief"

Mr., Winthrop.

Some days ago, in commenting on an
editorial of the Springfield Republican, we
expressed our disbelief in the statements
as to the i'll treatment Of Mr.. WINTHROP at
Yorktown. Hon. JOHN GooDE, in his let
ter TO US, put the matter in a very clear
light, and now Mr.. WINTHROP has taken an
opportunity Of giving an explicit denial to
amy suggestion that he was not taken pro-
per care OF in Virginia. At recent meet
ing OF the Massachusetts, Historical Society,
Of which he has been the president about
thirty years, Mr.. WINTHROP commented on
the ready oblivion into which matters even
comparatively recent fall. Referring TO O
letter Of General WASHINGTON to Baron
sTEuBES, lately published as Gan interest
ing find," he said:
"The letter to Steuben was duly pub
lished by President Sparks over forty years
age in his writings OF Washington, and
was, indeed, referred 10 In the Centennial
address 1T Yorktown only few days be-
fore its rtappearance In the newspapers.
Mr.. Winthrop went on to speak OF the eel
ebration at Yorktown, which was, he said,
apart from his own contribution, gratify-
ing and successful one. Everything was
done that the limited resources and expo
riencos OF the commissioners could accom-
plish; the review Of the troops by Presi-
dent Arthur was impressive; the naval
display, with the Examinations and fire
works, aud the salute CT the British flag,
win not be easily forgotten. lie had him
