A Propesltion by the Bondholders to Lead
Just the Indebtedness of the $tate.
[(biogo Times.]
Naw Yonx, Aug. 14.-The holders of
Arkansas State bonds have been request
ed to communicate with the Bank of the
State of New York relative to a scheme
for refunding the debt of the State, ag
gregating $14,833,882. The plan for re
funding issuomitted by John D Adams,
of Little Rock, Ark., and J. E. Redfield,
who are resiectively represented as act
ing for the Governor of the State and
for the bondholders. The plan is to re
fund these bonds with new State bonds
hasing thirty years to run at two per
cent interest for the first year, three
per cent for the second, four per cent for
the third, and thereafter six per cent,
the first semi-annual payment for cou
pons 'to be made July 1, 1878. Adams
and Redfield agree to negotiate with the
State authorities to deliver the bonds to
the bondholders without expense,
and in the event of the negotiatibns not
being completed by July 10, 1878 the
agreement between the bondholders
and them is to be declared void. These
are the general features of the contract
under which the bondholders are to
deposit their bonds in trust with the
Bank of the State of New York, taking
a receipt for the same, the object being
to secure the negotiations which amount
to an offer to the State by the bondhold
ers. Yesterday holders of $1,800,000
bonds had signed the contract. What
action the State will take is unknown.
It is reported that the Governor of Ar
kansas will call a special session of the
Legislature to authorize the issue of
the new thirty-year bonds at six per
cent, if the bondholders signify their
willingness to make the exchange. The
indebtedness to January 1, 1878, of the
State of Arkansas aggregates $18,556,
118. Its resources are, assessed valua
tion of property 1877, $tih,000,00j. from
which, at a State tax of eight 1lllls, it
is calculated that $342,000 can be re
lied upon to meet the interest on the
proposed compromise debt.
LOUISIANA JUSTICE.
[Natbhse Democrat.]
Louisiana justice of the present day
will doubtless adorn the funny columns
of the law journals of a future time,
and the colored Dogberrys will be em
balmed as curiosities which the world
does not produce more than once in a
thousand years. An incident has been
related to us by a member of the Con
cordia parish bar, which, while it ex
cited our risibles made us at the same
time think it is time for some action to
be taken to put a stop to such
caricatures of judicial proceedings
and ignorant arrogance. A case
was being tried before Justice
Jake Dorsey,I in which a lawyer
was engaged on either side, one of them
being white and the other that honest
wiseacre, Bowles. After the case had
proceeded for some time the sheriff of
the parish, with the great key of the
parish jail stuck conspicuously in his
belt, came in and after soundly berating
the two lawyers for making money out
of the poor colored people of the parish,
and giving them to understand that
he was running things now in the
parish, ordered proceedings in
the case to be brought to a
close. Bowles had the temerity to sug
gest that the sheriff had not the consti
tutional right to interfere in a trial in a
court of justice. He was, however, ef
fectually silenced by Young who point.
ed to the huge key in his belt, and told
him if he did not shut up his jaw that
he would put him in jail. Proceedings
were stopped in the case, and when
Dorsey was asked why he permitted this
contempt of his court, why he did not
put Young in jail, he replied, "Who
gwine to put him in jail? Ain't he de
high sheriff? Ain't he got de key?"
AMERICAN HEIRESSES IN DEMAND.
A Paris correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that now-a-days
when a young man of the upper classes
becomes of marriageable age, a sharp
lookout is kept for an American heiress
by the managing mamma. He says:
It is no longer asked, as of yore,
for English heiresses. I scarcely know
for what reason, but the British female
Is rather at a discount; and the enor
mous demand is for American marriage
able girls. A French mother walks into
the salon of her friends, whose "day" it
happens to be, and quietly, in a kind
of half whisper, says to the mistress of
the h use, "Do you know Madame So
and-So? Shie knows all the American
colony. Couldn't(she find me an Amer
ican heiress ?" There is no disguise
about the transaction; it is all very rela
tively frank and open.
The Khedive has four of his sons in
his cabinet. He lacks confidence in
brothers-in- law.
Potatoes are so plenty in Kansas as to
be hardly worth marketing.
