A RAILROAD CASE IN CoURT.-The de.
cree for the sale Of the Richmond and Ale
ghany railroad, which was submitted TO the
ju lge of the Richmoad Circuit Court, WAS
argued yesterday. The decree was opposed
upon the ground that $400 900 bonds Of the

ed obligation OF $50 GOO vas only made o pre-
ferred lien when its payment should have
been provided for. The report was passed
by the court in order to allow it TO be re-
vised as amended. There was an intima-
ton that a decree might be agreed upon
which would be acceptable to all the parties
in interest.
