The matter was still pending iu the Coweta superior court when, in 1WV1, Simms died and his name was dlamUntd from the suit. The matter still remsined unset tled through all these yean until some two years ago when Judge Dennis F. Hammond removed from this city and took up his residence at OrUudo. Florida. Soon thereafter he petitioned the United States court for the removal of the canse from the state to the United Slates court, on the ground that he was a resident of an other state.

IT WILL BE ^PAID. Governor MeDnntel Decide* t# «end the Money to New York tc Pay iho Intoreet. Several days ago a sensation was created by the publication of a statement that Treasurer Speer would notsend to New York the necessary funds to pay off the bonds and coupous ot the state payable there, but would require the holders to present tbdr securities to tho state treasury lor payment. It was held by Mr. Speer that the law did not requiro him to take such a responsibility but that tho legislature should provide for getting the money to Now York and taking care of It after It reached that place. At tho last session of the generalassombly a bill pissed the houso pro Tiding for a depository in New York, but it failed In the senate, owing to absenteeism. Unwilling to assume tho risk Mr. Speer made up Iris mind that he would uot tend tho money ou audio announced to a i OKSTiruTioK man. Governor McDaniel has decided that tbe Interest coupons and the bonds of the state must be paid In Now York, accotdlng to contract; that ho will pro tect the credit of tho state by taking tho responsi bility of the matter upou himself. Ho is determin ed that the holders of bonds shall not bo put to any inconvenience aud will accordingly direct that tho money bo put New York aa usual. As soon as the announcement by^reasurer Speer came to the notice of Governor McDaniel he began a consideration of tho matter. He found that the contract of tho stato gavo tho bondholders the option to demand Interest in New York or at the treasury and im- poiod on the stato the duty of providing the funds tither at ouo place or the other, as occasion might require. Taking that view tho governor felt that there was nocoune open to him but to carry out in good faith tho "contract of tho stato to protect tho credit of tho state and to nay tho inter est at cither place, according to tho desire or con venience of the holders of tbo bonds. The governor held that with that matter Mttled, it was clearly his duty and within his power to ordor tho money sent to New York. Hew that should bo done is a matter of discretion. It might bo left to the discretion of the governor, as heretofore, or to the legislature for settlement. The failure of the legis lature, at its last session to pass an act providing for rending the money to New York the governor con siders does not abridge his right to continue send ing the money to New York, aud he will act accord ingly. me order in reference to the matter has not .been passed yet. That ordor will settle tho method of transmitting tho monoy and will be passed lu; due season. Treasurer Speer, acting under tho dlrectiou of the S overnor. has notified the Fourth national bank, of [uw York, that tho money will be put there to pay the interest soou to fall duo.
