nav over 10 the trustees Of the fund the
nrincinal and interest. Only one ques-
ION remains to be determined. 1t has
6pen suggested that if the executors OF
the Morgan estate lend to the railroad
tbe money wherewith to pay the inter
sst on the bonds held in trust for Gen:
Grant and his family, there would
technically be default and therefore the
Morgan estate would not be liable for
the principal. Whateyer course GOV:
Morgan, if alive, would have pursued
under the circumstances, his executors
are bound in law to be governed by an
exact legal Interpretation Of his written
guaranty. The whole question OF the
execution at the present juncture has
been referred to lawyer who will give
his opinion within few days. Mean
time, there is reason to believe that on
Aug. 1st, the guaranty will be carried out
and the S1S8, 900 with arrears OF interest
will be paid to the treasurer of the fund.
