V I While it is true the writer is not
thorough posted in regard to the
county railroad bond question, the
idea of a compromise, as offered,
looks nlnrd, lidiiculous and not at
all in keeping with a manly epirit,
that should prevade all voters who
wish to see justice done in the mat
ter, It is true that mandamisus have
been jssucd, Rut the voter .should
investigate the manner in which
this state of aifiirs w-oi-jf brought
about As long as the county court
went to its constituents it found them
iiiu'.lterably opposed to any compro
mise and not in favor of being dictat
ed to by attorneys and hirelings of
the bondholders. From the best un
prejudiced authority obtainable, we
are led to believe this whole matter
has been managed in the most dam
nable manner! A less quiet people
than the citizens of Scotland county
would have before this not only en
tered their protest, but risen up as
one man and hurled some of the
county's supposed servants from
power before ibis ami prevented mat
ters to be placed hi the position it
now is. However, it is not too late
mil we call on all froo citizens to
wake up and assert their indepen
dence and riiifit. Do nut let the hire
lings and claqucrs deter yoa from
3" our duly to yourselves and children,
but Set there be a united effort to
crush out traitors and prevent this
enormous debt being saddled fn the
county. This kind of an effort will
succeed without a doubt, but even if
it should not it would show to the
world that the majority of the citi
zens of Scotland coonty could not be
brought or bulldozed in this nefarious
move on the treasuay. Let all free
men be at the polls at the appointed
tun?, Saturday, March 1 uh. stand
ing shoulder to shoulder and give the
cowardly and unjust fs;:vo such a
black eye that it will never lie for
gotten by the mercenaries of the
bondholders. Then to the polls Sat

Work for our rights."

The compromise (?) offered the
tax-paj"ers is said to be that the coun
ty issue new registered bonds, dollar
for dollar, bearing 5 per cent, inter
est. How's that! Do you see where
the AMripronfisw conies in? It would
take a powerful microscope to sec
where this would benefit the people,
The bond holders and their hireling
would, no doubt, allow the county to
pay the srauduient ttei.it any time.
This generous (?) compromise would
be no better. The tax payer Jias
nothing to loose and everything to
gain by the further fighting of this
scheme. But the fighting should be
turned against the schemers as well
as the scheme. Fight for justice

Brief History of the Railroad and.
Bond Suit, in July, 1870.
A pertilion was circulated by some
of the Citizens of the county, request
ing the county court 10, suoscnoe
stock to the M- I. & X. It. It. to issue
bi nds for flie stock, (I was one of
those citizens.) there was a remon
strance circulated at the same time
against the proposition to subscribe
the stock and take bonds. The pres
ident of the road come to this county
mid made speeches in favor of the
subscriptions, claiming that the taxes
the railroad paid would be equal to
one half of the interest, on the bonds.
ind in tfnie would liquidate the en
tire debt. The remonstrates denied
that proposition, and claimed that
the road was exempt from taxation
for 20 years after the completion of
the same.
President Prake denied that, and
said that if the county court would
subscribe the stock and give the
company the county lionds in pay
ment thereof, the company would
also relinmii-h that right and pay all
taxes that might be assessed against
the road. Drake, the president of
the load gave Marion Cowell and my
self a written statement to that elici t
to induce us to circulate the perlition.
We" circulated pertitions l ontiding on L
t lie written promises i M:ii;t gave. us.
Cowell and myself testified to that
fact before the dated States ciiauuc
rv court, in Keokuk, Iowa. Drake
could have heard the testimony if he
Jad remained in the court, as Hughes,
the railroad attorney wanted him to
do. They have not paid the taxes
assessed on the rosul, clearly violating
their promise made to the people of
the county and the court.
The county court confiding in the
promise they made to pay the taxes
on the road, subscribed for the stock.
and gave trfards, made Mr. Mety com
missioner to take charge of the bond-,
but before the same was delivered
by Mety to the railroad company,
Gordon, Wagner, Fniker, Sparks.
Johnson, and a number of other
men sued out an injunction writ tu
restrain him from delivering the
lionets to the railroad company before
.Tiwl.rr Viim tlu iMi'eliii. liiil;ff if
Scotland county. This was about
September 20th, 1871.
Aftef Mety was enjoined he went
tw Warsaw, Illinois, and delivered
the bonds to the railroad company.
Drake and 11111 gave .lety an indem
nified bond to insure him from :;;iv
loss or harm that might grow out of
the injunction suit commenced
against Mety by Wagner and others,
in Judge ilsoiys court.
(lOrden, Warner and ot Iters took
change of venue from Wilson's court
in Scotland county, to Shelby county,
before Judge Itedd, judge of the cir
cuit court of that county. 11 'dd de
cree was, that the bonds issued l y
the county court of Scotland county
to the M. I. & N. It. It., was issued
without any authority of Jaw, and
that Mety should return said bond-
to the county court, and that the
county court should cancel them.
Hill aud Drake, the parties Mety
delivered the bonds to, took an ap
peal from the circuit court of Shelby
county to the Supreme court of Mis
souri, and the Supreme court con
firmed the decree of Judge Itedd.
The bond suit was .tried on its merits,
with all the facts before the court in
relation to the bonds and the decree
rendered declaring the bonds were
issued without any authority of law,
and by the highest court in the state.
No appeal was taken from that court,
nnd lhi tunc linvni" evon-.'d Ut I'd-
an appeal. Where is the possi
chance to ever collect the bonds. See
Mo. reports, Vol. M, 1S7I. p. 150.
While this suit alnrnt the legality
of the bonds was pending in the Su
preme court of Missouri, the men
that held the bonds clipped ofl'the
overdue coupons, and brought suit in
the district court of the United States
at St. Louis, (I believe this was call
ed the Thomas suit,) before Judge
Treat, the county court counciled
Edmonson, and employed Broadhcad
& MeCrary fs attorneys, to defend
the county, (so I have been informed.)
John C. Colin s was president of the
county court at the time (the above
suit has reference to the coupon de
tached from the bonds) this Thomas
suit went against the county, and in
favor of the plaintiff.
