July ,, 1870.
Among the notable passengers to Europe
to-day were Chauncey NJ. Depew and Hen
ry Willard. Mr.. Depew, who is perhaps
one OF the busiest men in town, has not al
together recovered from his late attack OF
..la grippe" lie has, however, stuck man
fully to the post Of duty, and now hopes to
reap the benefit Of n vacation, which has
been truly merited by him. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Depew, Chauncey
Depew, Jr., and Mrs. Iiegeman. Mr.. Willard
will spend the months Of July, August and
september abroad. His trip will be one OF
husiness and pleasure combined He is
very reticent about his plans, but II Is pretty
we'll understood on the street that his princi-
nal errand is 10 secure additional backing
in his railroad operations. The fact OF his
being accompanied by his private secretary
is sufficient reason to suppose that he mas
planned great deal of work while away
from home.
THE GEORGIA SUIT.
The state OF Georgia is at last brought
into Court by an action begun in the SUI
preme Court Of this city and county, ON a
question growing out of her repudlated
bonds. The issue arises on the payment
made i'm April last of certain coupons, on !
per cent. Understanding bonds, to the
amount Of 100000, which were authorized
and issued in 1872, for the purchase OF the
Opera House building in Atlanta. to be used
as State Capitol. These bonds were in
cluded among those repudiated 10y the
state. and the New York Stock EN-
Il. tlpFg.
after these bonds would not be a
good delivery. Ii was after such notice
that payment was made Of the coupons, and
the State now claims that such payment
was an error, and the suit is brought 10 re-
cover back the money paid. This is the first
time that the bondhOlders have ever been
able to get the state into court, as the
state invariably took refuge under its con-
stitutional exemption from liability OF SUIT
by citizens. The Opera House was itself
afterward sold by the State. and the pro-
ceeds paid into the State Treasury.
