SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Arkansas railroad Bonds.

In 1868 the State Legislature passed
an act loanng State bonds to railroad COM
panies to the extent of S1O,0oO,0W. 1t was
submitted to the people and declared rati'
fed as required by the Constitution then eX-
isting. Bonds to various roads were issued
for nearly six million. Subsequently the
State Supreme Court decided the act as not
legally passed and therefore nullity. BY
provisions of the act under which the bonds
were issued the State was to have Il lien
on the roads Of the companies to which
bonds were issued. The companies were
to provide means to pay the principal and
interest of the bonds as the same ma
tured, and the bonds were used to com
plete and equip the roads and placed at
from tifty-fiye to eighty-fve cents. Se:-
eral months since w. 7. Tompkins, holder
OF 1.-THE bonds issued to the Little Rock 81
Fort Smith Bailroad, filed bill in the Unit
ed States Circuit Court at Little Rock to
compel that company TO pay the
State bonds and to foreclose the State lien
on the railroad for that purpose. The rail-
road company filed demurrer. The Cir
cult Court, in an opinion written by Judge
Caldwell OF the United States District Court
and concurred III by Judge McCrary OF the
United States Circuit Court, recently over
ruled the demurrer, holding that the lien
in favor of the State to secure the payment
of State bonds loaned to the original company
was paramount to lien created by the sub
sequent mortgage under which defendant
claimed, and that holders of the State bonds
| were entitled to be subrogated to the lien OF
| the State to secure their payment. The
court further held that the decision OF the
| Supreme Court OF the State, that State bonds
were not binding obligations Of the State, in
no wise affected the right OF bond-holders
against the company or the validity OF the
| statutory lien to secure their payment.
