Atlanta will be made in fourteen hours,
which is pretty lively gait, and the record
from Memphis to New York will be broken
by about three hours. The trains to be used
in this service are as fine as anything in

would be the source of endless confusion
and injustice. This is especially true OF
written contracts between government
and it's creditors. AS no tribunal exists
to decide the equities between them, the
question Of equity and honor cannot be
safely opened by government. 1t could
only decide on such equities as might be
adverse to itself, while the creditor would
insist on the equities of the contract
when in his favor, and on the terms when
the equities we're against him. Suitors
before chancery tribunals are bound by
the rule that those who seek equity must
do equity. In this case, there are many
and strong equities on the side of the
United States. During the civil war it's
bonds were sold at par for paper which
was worth as little as 40 cents in gold or
silver on the dollar. In respect to the
bonds sold since the civil war for metallic
money, such money greatly appreciated
after the sales, and is still appreciating,
If the United States, on account of either
of these circumstances, should reduce the
amounts nominslly due on its bonds, it
would be charged with dishonor and re-
pudiation. There is no court to which
it can present these equities, and it
therefore cannot entertain the vague,
doubtful, and far inferior equities urged
in behalf of it's creditors.

more sacredly pledged to the bondholder,
that the principal and interest of bonds
issued under the act of July IA, 1870,
should be paid in coin Of the standard
value Of that date, than it was to the
people that they should have the option
and privilege of paying the bonds issued
under that act in either of the classes Of
coin Of the standard value of that date.
There are two parties to these contracts,
the bondholder on the one side and the
masses of the people on the other. The
rights Of the one are as sacred as the
rights of the other.
In the case Of the government the ar
guments against enlarging the terms of
it's written contracts, to satisfy the
claims of an imaginary honor, are even
stronger than in the case of individuals.
The proposed gratuities to bondholders
are not to be paid by those who hope
thereby to obtain meretricious applause,
but are to be made at the expense of
posterity, the mortgage upon whose
earnings is to be changed to their preiu-
dice after it has been recorded. The
burdens thrown upon individuals are
borne by them personally or by their ex-
isting property, but the burden thrown
upon nation may be extended to an in
definite future. To mortgage the labor
Of posterity and coin 1t into money for
present wants is doubtful right at
best, Until lately it has been an estab-
