SUITS AGAINST sINTEEN SOUTHERN
RAILwAYs.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 23.--The Ten
nessee bond cases, which comprise
suits against sixteen Southern railway
companies and which involve out
standing bonds to the amount OF
Sc, 900 600, Were called for argument in
the supreme court this afternoon. An
extraordinary array of counsel
WAS present, including Gov. HOadly OF
Ohio, Gen Manager Swayne, and Jno.
C. i. Gardner of New York, who rep
resented the bondholders. and G. f.
Southmsyne OF New York, Judge
Campbell of New Orleans, Judge East
and Edward Baxter of Nashville,
Judge Houston of Louisville, w. NJ.
Ramsey of Cincinnati, Gen. Wright
aud l.. w. Harris Of Memphis, and
p. J. Hamilton Of Mobile, as rep
resentatives Of the railway companies.
The cases TO be argued were begun in
the eastern, western and middle dis
trlcts in Tennessee in January, 1873,
and heard in May, 1880, by Hon, A.
l. Whitney. district judge OF Nashville,
The suits were brought by the Dond-
holders for the purpose of enforcing
lien ON the roads contained Ia the
act of the general assembly of Tennes-
see in 1852, known as the internal im-
provement law. Under this "internsl
Improvement law about $25, 600, 900 in
bonds OF the state of Tennessee were
issued by the state to railroad compa-
MES, who are defendantsin these cases.
/ The bonds negotiated by the railways,
about seven million dollars. are now
outstanding in the hands Of holders all
over the world. The bondholders con-
tend that the lien for the payment OF
the bonds was for the benefit of the
hondholders and thatit was declared
| by the court to be the first lien on tue
roads. The contention Of the
railway companies, on the other
| hand, Is that the lien was
/ for the benefit Of the state only. The
decision Of Judge Whitney was adverse
10 the bondholders and they appealed
/ from this decision 10 this court IL
! 1851. Ia view OF the importance o.
/ the case the court has fixed the tine
for argument to nine hours for esci
side. Gov. HoRdiy opened the ar9u
ment for the bondholders.
