The Bondsmen's Defense.

Horner & Stewart and Charles IT.

the defaultIng ex-state treasurer, have
fled their answer in the suit of the
state &c recover on the bond. The
points made are as follows:
The bond is void, because it is ex.
cessive. The constitution places the
bond at $780, 90, and the defense
claims that the state extorted an ad.
ditional 500, 900. thus violating the
entire bond.
In ease this point is overruled the de-
tense holds that excess OF 100000 is
certainly void.
The defense holds that $780, 600 oil
the amount defaulted was stolen dur.
ing Taylor's first term and is conse.
quently not u charge upon his bonds.
men.
The law provides that at the expir-
alton of the first term the treasurer
snail make a full and complete &C.
counting to the governor or other ac-
counting officer, and that the terms
OF this settlement shall be Endorsed
upon the new bond; that as this was
not done tie new bond was invalid.
Two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars came from the floating of
funding warrants.
The defense holds that issuance OF
these warrants was contrary to the
constitutional provision limit in the
states debt and that this amount
cannot be recovered. as it was in no
sense legal state money.
