ARGUMENT IN BIG SUIT.

The argument in the suit of the New York bondholders against the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad for the payment of an alleged indebtedness of $1 100000 was begun nthe Supreme Court at Little Rock Monday morn ing. Each side will be given eight hours in which to address the court. The argument will consume four days. Judge John Mcclure, of this city, opened the case Monday in a speech of two hours for the plaintiffs. Tuesday morning, the time was oc- cupied by ex-Governor James F. Clarke, speaking for the plaintiffs. He argued in extenso that the railroad company, the beneficiary of the bond proceeds, is liable for their payment and that the bonds are, like taxes, a lien upon the railroad company's property.
 That afternoon Judge John F. Dil- lon of New York, chief counsel for the Gould Railway system, argued for the railroad side of the controversy. Members of the bar constituted the greater portion of the distinguished audience. Judge Dillon, though well advanced in age, possesses a good voice and an easy delivery. In his opening remarks he paid q high com pliment to ex-Governor Clarke, de- claring that the argument made by the latter on the opposite side was able and fair.
 Judge Dillon argued that the state was the only debtor on the bonds, which were issued under the act of 1868 to aid in the building of the Fort Smith road. The debt of the state, he declared, was the only debt expressed on their face; they carried on their face no obligation on the part of the railroad company to the holders. The world understood, he said, that when parties take the obligation and pro- mise of a government they get noth- ing else. Judge Dillon declared the pending suit is an exact duplication in pleadings and proof of the Tomp- kins case, reported in the thirty first Arkansas.
 Two more distinguished lawyers are to be heard in the famous suit. They are Alex G. Cochran for the defend ants and John R. Dos Passes for the plaintiffs. They will probably take up all of today and the argument will then have been closed.
