THE BoNpHoLDERs' PLAN.

The committee appointed by the individu-
al second mortgage bondholders of the Port
land and Ogdensbvrg Railroad to submit a
plan for the reorganization of the company,
reported last evening. The report is pub
lished elsewhere. In brief it proposes a
mortgage of $35O,000 to cover the receivers
certificates and some other secured claims
the sealing down of the present second
mortgage to 1870, 900 and the issue of 81 $780,,
600 in preferred stock The first mortgage is
to remain as at present and no provision is
made for taking it up when it becomes due.
Seven hundred and sixty thousand shares of
the preferred stock are to be assigned to
the city and the balance goes to the individ-
ual holders of the second mortgage bonds
and the holders of the third mortgage bonds
and floating debt. How much the hold
ers of the two latter are to get is yet to be
determined. The plan, though not voted up
on last night, undoubtedly has the approval
of the individual second mortgage bond
holders, and there is not much doubt but
the holders of the third mortgage bonds and
the floating debt will accede to it also. The
only matter in doubt is the consent of the
city in its capacity as holder of the major
ity of the second mortgage bonds. That
consent ought not to be given except after
full elaboration and with exact knowledge
Of the effect of the plan upon the control of
the city in road.
Judge Symonds in the course Of the dis
cussIon last night objected to some features
of the plan as liable to jeopardize the city's
control of the road. 1t is evident that if the
$350,0O0 and the $9700OO are to be secured by
one and the same mortgage the city will be
outvoted if the mortgage is foreclosed and
the holders of it reorganize the company, for
the city will hold only three-fifths of the
$4,000 while individuals will hold the bal
ance and the $35O000 The issue of $780,
600 in preferred stock-the full amount al
lowed by law-on which two dividends of six
per cent must be paid before the holder of
common stock will be entitled to any stand
ing will probably completely dispel what
ever hopes may have been raised in the
hearts of the common stock holders.
Whatever advantages the plan may possess
in other directions should weigh very little
with the City Council. if in the direction of
securing the city's control it is found to be
less effective than the foreclosure plan. 1t is
to be hoped that there may be thorough dis
cussiOn and general expression of opinion
upon the merits of the two plans, before eth
er is finally adopted.

The story comes from Washington that
Secretary Bayard was at the bottom of the
attempt to cripple the Alabama Claims Court
by disallowing the salaries of the minor Off
cials, and that his motive was to help the in
surance companies. 1t seems hardly credi-
BILE that a cabinet officer would attempt to de-
feat by indsrection the object of court es-
tablished by act of Congress-, and stronger
evidence of its truth is needed before accept
ing it as fact. The probability is that
the attempt to cripple the court originated
in the head of Manning, the disbarred attor-
ney, and that it was eagerly seized upon by
the first com troller of the treasury as af-
fording fine opportunity for exhibiting his
devotion to reform. But whatever the OBJ
ject the scheme has failed. The expenses of
the court have been guaranteed by the sui
tors. who are anxious to get their claims adj
justed before the court expires by limitation.

The New York Evening Post, the ablest
Mugwump of them all, thinks that President
Cleveland has no intention of endorsing Gov.
Hills nomination, because the time when
such an endorsement would be effective has
gone by. 1t is not customary, it says, for the
chief executive of the nation to ratify State
nominations. He may of course favor the
nominations Of his party, but as far as formal
endorsements are concerned, he should have
nothing to do with them This is all very
true, and it may possibly be the reason why
the President has not as yet endorsed Gov.
Hill. But the Post should not lose sight Of
the fact that there are other reasons which
may, and probably do, have fully as much
weight.
