the plan by which the demand was created
for bonds. At different times the Conted-
crate Congress voted large sums for secret
service, the principal deposits being in
London and Paris banks. The funds were
placed to the credit OF citizens Of Great
Britain and France who were friendly to
the South At the close OF the war there
was an uneNpcnded balance OF $3.50 90.
Benjamin consulted with these agents rs to
the disposition Of the money, ana it was
agreed it should not be surrendered 10 the
United States. The question was then, how
to diSburse the money SO rs TO best benefit
those entitled to it. 1t was concluded that
the people who had given their means 10
the Confeleracy for Its bonds were entitled
to the money and bonds advertised for and
TO cover the real object OF the movement, it
was limited that the bonds were to be held
bv spectators, and that suit w;ts to be in
