The BoSD CasEs.-Tbe disposition of tho con-

marks of Judge Mccreary the occasion, indicated
quire eirariy his yir~s Of the matter II wa that
white be might, final result. be compelled to en-
force the letter of the law his opinion was that the
position Of the people of this County was just and
that the bondholders ought compromise lie ssid
that the retcrn of the Commissioners disclosed the
fact that they had made lauiable and continued
effort to compromise and refund q very large rail-
road bonded indebtedness, and had partially sue
ceeed. and the Court thought it very desira-
BILE that differences Of such character should be
compromised and settled and az nothing could be
effectively done in the way Of levying taxes to pay
the Judgment of plaintiff until August next, Judge
McCrrary. upon consultation with Judge Foster,
had decided not to make final order in the case
until the June term 1888; and at said term if the
matter in difference was not compromised and ar
ranged. the order would then be made that the
whole bonded indebtedness of the County, now in
judgment in this Court would be apportion ID over
series of years, and the Commissioners be ordered
to levy tax sufficient to pay portion Of such in
deb;ednrss each year. He said that the United
States Snpre me Court had decided that this Court
had that discretion, and he disposed to exercise
il. and should do so. in favor of the defendants be-
iieyns that such indebtedness is heavy burden for
til. people Of the County to bear and that he hoped
the whole matter would be arranged and compro-
msrd by the next term.
IL should be generally known, that after the re-
funding act was passed, fixing the amount of COM
promise at 30 cents on the dollar. parties holding
the greatest portion Of the bonds made proposition
that if the la~ was amended. allowing q greater
amount on compromise they would accept it. init.
mai that H.
law amended, aud then these parties refused
to compromise. They the ones who have brought
the sufs upon which the Judgments were rendered,
and trying to force the County to pay the bonds
in full They the ones who have acted in bad
faith is pretty safe say that they will have to
compromise before they get dollar of their money,
matter what all the Courts in ehrisiendom may
order. The this is done, the they will
begin 20 get their money.
