Suit Against Huntingdon
New YORK, December 2d.-The suit of
David Stewart~vs. G. F. Huntington. was
begun to-day in the Supreme Court before
Judge Van Varst and jury Joseph II.
Choate is one of Stewards counsel and
| Roscoe Conkhng one of the lawyers for
Huntington. Choate, in opening the case,
said: " In 1864, Huntington sold to oStewart
200 shares of Central Pacific Railway stock.
Stewart held this stock until April. 1870,
when Huntington told him there was
/ trntr HI no l,+ -, i
been an over-iSsue of stock, but that out of
friendship he Huntington would take
Stewards stock at par and interest The
same offer was made to ASpinwall, but the
latter was going to California, and ne
| (Stewart) wanted to nave Huntington hold
the offer open until Aspinwall should re-
turn better informed But Huntington
was in a hurry and he at length got the
! stock prior to Aspinwall's departure.
The terms were that Huntington should
pay par and interest, and il he subsequently,
! bought and paid more for any stock, he
should then pay to Stewart and Aspin-
wall the difference between the par value
| paid them and the advanced price subse-
| quently paid. Then if, on the return of
| Aspinwall, Stewart and he should wish to
possess their stock, Huntington promised
to return it. Aspinwall went West and
| learned that the stock was bringing from
$500 To 1000 per share and telegraphed
! back to recover the stock from Huntington
but the latter refused to give up the stock
Choate said Huntington, Mark Hopkins.
Charles CrOcker and Leland Stanford had
organized a duplicate of the Credit Mobi-
lier and it was absorbing the milk of the
| Central Pacific nut, but that the Western
stockholders had in April, 1870 discovered
the big game of the quartet and had begun
! -
occasion of the trouble with Huntington,
and not an ovcr-iSsue of stock, and that
was the reason he was willing to promise
Stewart almost anything to get his stock
and forget every promise ever made to keep
| it, when Stewart found that ne was duped
and sought to repOssess it The case is
| still on.
Negro Exodus.
New York, December 2d.-Charleston,
S. c.. specials report the continued exodus
of negroes from the upper counties Of the
State for the West. Most of those now
| leaving expect to settle on lands of Fort
Smith and Little Rock Railroad in Arhan-
sas. Seventy left Anderson and Abbeville
counties last Wednesday, bound for Cali
fornia. Over 500 left during fhe week for
Arkansas. Agents of northwestern rail
road lands are busy among the NEGROES.
One reason assigned for this exodus is the
large oyer-suppIy of labor and the indispo-
sition OF merchants who have heretofore
made advances to aid the negroes in max
ing their crops. Small negro planters have
no capital of their own, and without the
help of loan from the merchants, cannot
carry on operations.
