AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A States Lien Paramount to a Subs,
seuuent MOrtpaoe

n states Lien Paramount to "A Subse-
sequent Mortgage.
LITTLE Rock, Dec. 30-In 1868 the
State Legislature passed an act loaning
State bonds to railroad companies to the
extent of fifteen million dollars. Bonds to
various railroads were issued for nearly
six millions. Subsequently the State Su-
preme Court decided that the act had not
been legally passed. Several months
since W. I. TOmpkins, the holder of the
bonds issued by the Little Rock and Fort
Smith Railroad, filed a bill in the United
states Circuit Court at Little Rock to
compel that company to pay the State
bonds to fOreclOse the State lien
on the railroad. The railroad company
filed a demurrer. The Circuit Court, in an
opinion written by Judge Caldwell, of the
United States District Court, cOncurred
in by Judge McCrary, of the United States
Circuit Court, has OYerruled the demurrer,
holding that the lien in favor of the State
to secure the payment of the State bonds
to the original company is paramount to
the lien created by subsequent mortgage
under which the defendant claims,
and that holders of the State bonds
are entitled TO be subrOgated to the lien of
the State to secure their payment. The
court further holds that the decision of
the Supreme Court of the State that the
State bonds are not binding obligations of
the State, in no wise affect the right of
bOndhOlders against the company or the
validity of the statutory lien to secure
their payment. The bonds affected by
this decision represent nearly One-half of
the disputed debt of the State.

A Manly Letter from the late Republican
Candidate fsr Governor.


HARTFORD, CONN, Dec. 31.-Wm. II.
Bulkeley the Republican candidate for
Governor in the late election has written
the following letter:
HARTFORD. Dec. 3O,-Chds. j. Cole,
Esq, Chairman Republican State Commit
tee: DEAR SIR-My attention having been
called TO various discussions which have
appeared in public print relating to black
ballots, so called, desire to say for N.Y.
self, that under the circumstances, no
matter what doubts may exist in regard
not entertain, and have not for one mo-
ment entertained, an idea that
it would be possible for me to hold
what the General Assembly may do or de-
be with the knowledge that in no event
will L serve, or take a position which /
believe 1t was the intent Of the electors TO
give to another.
"LSigned s'WM. II. BULKELEY."
The law Of which the black ballots are
declared in violation was origin
ated by Democrats, who claimed that
it would protect labOring men against CO.
erciOn by employers. The lawyers here
generally think the black ballots techni-
cally Illegal. The Democrats claim that
the Republican ballots, which had a mar
row border around the names, were also
illegal. These We're, however. submitted
TO high legal and judicial authority before
the election, and were declared legal.
General Bulkeley's letter will probably
prevent any controversy in the Legisla-
ture over the matter

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-MaiI advices
from Hong Kong to December 1st state
that the Chinese Government is eXasper-
ated at the action of France respecting
TOnquin. The belief is growing that
armed resistance will be made to further
French inyasiOns. The Chinese declara-
tiOns are unusually defiant.
Cholera is devastating the interior of
the kwantung provinces.
The American envoy has been COM
PEELED to take action against the persecu-
tion instituted by the VicerOy at Nankin
against a Chinese clerk employed by the
American firm of W. 5. WetmOre & Co. at
Shanghai. Not long since a factory for
the mandatory of cotton yarn was pro-
jected by this firm, under conditions of
the treaty of Tientsin. The Niceroy
claimed that the undertaking was viola
tiOn of the monopoly given to the Chinese
company, and issued orders fOrbidding
the Chinese to participate in any
foreign undertaking, and decreed
the arrest of Wetmore's native clerk.
The alleged ground of his arrest was that
the clerk had been concerned in the Tai
ping rebellion of quarter Of a century
ago. The real Offense is believed to be his
taking shares in a new company. The
United States Envoy directed the Ameri-
can officials at Shanghai to prevent the
arrest, and made such repres esentatiOns to
Isung Ii Ramen as will lead to the can
ceiling of the VicerOy's orders. Diplomatic
representatives at Pekin unanimously
approve of the American EnYOy's action.
