EI FECTOF THE MAINE ELECTION
Hie i{e|Hib'<ciis surprised and Ills
tourased—What Minim Cameron
llilnks ol 11.
Washington, Sept, li).— Returns
from the Maine election yesterday,
indicating the defeat of Powers, Re
publican, in the Fourth District, and
Hale, in tbe Fifth, have created con
siderable excitement and given rise
io speculation in both Republican
ind Democratic circles in this citv.
Even among high officials tbe result
is discussed, and is regarded as a dis
aster. Hale’s re-eleetiou was not dis
puted by the Democrats, but there
vas thought to be a fighting chance
to defeat Powers. The Democrats
express disappointment at not be
ing able to defeat Reed, iu the First
District, and give F’rye a close run in
the Second.
The defeat of Hale, as viewed from
i political standpoint, is deemed a
positive calamity to his party, more
so than the loss of his one vote in
Congress. He was one of the most
active of the parly loaders, aud had
attributes calculated to make him a
a sagaolous party counselor. Ho was
quick and oft times brilliant iu do
nate, and the record of the last Con
gress shows that he really had the
managemenr of his party more un
der his control than even Gen. Gar
field.
Powers, the other defeated candi
date, had served only one term. His
record in the last Congress, while not
brilliant, was characterized by faith
ful attendance upon its sessions, and
tiis vote on ail occasions was for nis
party.
At the rooms of the Republican
Congressional Campaign Committee
there was but little excitement to
day.
Secretary Gorham is away, and in
his absence scores of visitors were
consoled by iris subordinates. The
hope was the report of Hale’s defeat
might prove premature, but when 1
o’clock rolled around, and not a sin
gle dispatch was received to the con
trary, it became evident Ids defeat
was conceded, which conclusion was
helped along by dispatches to tbe
press indicating such a result.
Among the visitors was Secretary
Robeson. He was much surprised
over the result. He is a candidate
for Congress in the First New Jersey
district. He says he expects to be
elected, as tbe district usually Rives
a Republican majority of over 1500;
that there is but little greenback af
fection iu it, and what there is, is
equally divided between the parties.
Ar. the rooms of the Democratic Cam
paign Committee atthe.capital, there
was much rejoicing.
Most of tbe old time Democrats in
Washington, and there is a host of
them, visited the committee rooms,
eager for further news, but strange
to say, the committee had no dis
patches save those sent to the after
noon papers, upon which it depends
for information. Of all elections the
Democrats claim that the result in
Maine is the starting of a tidal wave
which is going to sweep the country.
The Republicans prefer to await, ful
ler returns before making up their
minds about it. Tpe prediction is
freely made on all sides that the re
sult in Maine means the eleotioQ of
Gen. Butler as Governor of Massa-
c lj usetts.
Representive White, Republican
member of the House from Indiaua,
said this morning that he was great
ly discouraged. He did not care so
much for Maine, but for the moral
results in other parts of tHb country
must help the Democrats to hurt tne
Republicans. “It will play the
deuce,” ho said, “with our party In
Indiana.”
Honorable Simon Cameron passed
through Washington last night on
his way to the White Sulphur
Springs, where he will spend several
weeks. In conversation, Mr. Came
ron said he had paid but little atten
tion to political affairs recently, as
he had been along time in the. ser
vice and thought it was better that
the younger men should now take
their turn at the wheel.
He felt, however, every confidence
in the ability of the Republicans to
carry the Pennsylvania State and
Legislative tickets, and thought
there would be a gain in the Con
gressional delegation. He admitted
that the greenback element is strong
in certain sections of the State, and
may elect enough of its candidates
to give it a balance of power in the
I Lsgislature.
THE ftOFTII CAROLINA RAIIIIOAII.
From tho Charleston Nows, 10th,
The proceedings that have been
begun against the South Carolina
Railroad in the United States Courts
by certain Northern bondholders are
regarded with deep solicitude by the
people of this State, and especially
of Charleston. Aside from the im
portance of the road as tho main
artery of the city’s traffic with the in
terior, the financial ramifloations of
the company extend in so many
directions through our whole com
munity, that the pending litigation
is clothed with a keen personal in
terest for a very large proportion of
our people. Tho facts of the case,
as set forth in the complaint and
various answers, appear to be as fol
lows :
In 183 G the Legislature by act
authorized tho Louisville, Cincinnati
and Charleston Railroad Company to
borrow money to an amount not ex
ceeding $2,000,000, the repayment of
which was guaranteed by the State.
The Act further provided that the
State should have a first lien on all
the property of the company in the
State for the amount borrowed under
tho terms oT the Act. In pursuance
of this Act the Louisville, Cincin
nati and Charleston Railroad Com
pany issued bonds for four huudred
and fifty thousand pounds sterliug to
mature in 18G6, bearing interest at 5
per cent. On all of these bonds the
State guarantee was duly endorsed.
In 1811, tho Louisville, Cincinnati
and Charleston Railroad Company
became the South Carolina Railroad
Company, the latter taking the obli
gation of tho bonds.
In 1865 another Act was passed by
tho Legislature, which authorized
the South Carolina Railroad Compa
ny to issue bonds to an amount equal
so the principal of tho bonds issued
in 1836, together with tho interest
accrued and unpaid during the years
of the war, which bonds were to be
substituted for the bonds of the Lou
isville, Cincinnati and Charleston
Railroad Company, and the payment
of which was guaranteed by the
state in like manner as the bonds of
1836. This Act also provided that
the property of the Company should
be mortgaged and pledged to the
State to secure it from any liability
by mison of its guarantee.
A largo number of bonds were is
sued and substituted for tho bonds of
1836, under the terms of this last Act;
hut from various causes unnecessa
ry to be detailed hero a completo
substitution could not ba ett'eoted.
To finally settle this indebtedness
the South Carolina Railroad Compa
ny, in 1868, issued its bonds to the
amount of six hundred and twenty
thousand pounds sterling', and to se
cure tho payment of these bonds con
veyed all its property, both in South
Carolina and Georgia, in trust to
Henry Gourdin, 11. Pinckney, Walker
and James M. Calder, to secure the
payment of t he bonds, with power on
default in payment of the bonds or
interest, to take possession and sell
the same, and apply the proceeds to
ttie payment of the bonds. This
deed of trust is commonly
called the First Mortgage.
By the terms of this deed the bonds
secured by it were to be substituted
for the bonds outstanding of the
issues authorized by both the Acts
of 1830 and 1865, and also for certain
'bonds issued by the South Carolina
Railroad Company in 1849, amount
ing to $175,000, with accrued interest.
The substitution contemplated by
this Act was practically accomplish
ed, but not entirely, there being now
outstanding bonds guaranteed by
the State under the Acts of 1836 and
1865, amounting to £24,050.
To effect the substitution, or so much
as was effected, did not require the
entire £620,000, and thus there re
mained in the hands of the road the
difference between this amount and
the amount actually used in the sub
stitut.ion.
This surplus, tho plaintiff’s allege,
has been used by the road for var
ious purposes, i. a., in the purchase
of tlie Greenville and Columbia
Railroad, as collaterals to raise funds
for tho use of the road, some have
been sold and the proceeds used by
the road, &c.
It is claimed byjtbe plaintiffs that
the road had no right to use these
bonds save for the substitution con
templated in the mortgage, and all
the bonds used for other purposes,
especially for creating new indebted
ness, are improperly issued and are
not entitled to the benefit of tne
mortgage.
In 1872, the Railroad made the deed
of trust, commonly known as tbe
Second Mortgage, to three trustees,
jobrrHa'nckei, Robert Adger and B.
F. Huger. In this deed the Road re
cited that it is indebted on its unse
cured bonds iu the sum of $2,000,000,
and on its floating indebtedness iu
the sum or $1,000,(100, and that it is
its desire to fund its floating debt
and retire its unsecured bonds, and
that in order to effect this purpose it
has resolved to execute its Second
Mortgage bonds to the amount of
$3,000,000, “to be applied exclusively
to the extinguishment of said float
ing debt and tbe retirement of said
unsecured bonds.” To secure those
bonds the Road conveyed in trust to
the last three trustees all its property
in South Carolina aud Georgia, with
power to the trustees upon default in
payment of the bonds, and upon the
request of a majority of the bond
holders, to take possession and sell,
&c.
In pursuance of this deed the Road
executed its bonds and offered them
for sale and in exchange for non
mortgage bonds, upon certain term3,
i. e., the person funding was to pay
a certain proportion in cash and a
certain proportion in unsecured
bonds. By the answer of the Road,
it appears that of the bonds so exe
cuted 2,413 of SSOO each, amounting
to $1,206,500 in all, have been regu
larlv issued on these terms, that is
bv sale or in exchange, on the pay
ment of tne cash proportion requir
ed aud the delivering up of the due
proportion of non-mortgage bonds.
The cash-so paid, it appears,has been
applied to the extinguishment of the
floating debt, and the non-mortgage
bonds delivered up have been duly
retired in accordance with the terms
of the mortgage.
But by far the larger number of
bonds so executed, i. e. 3,587, for SSOO
each, amounting in all to $1,793,500,
were not issued in the same manner
as the others, but were used as col
laterals to secure floating indebted
ness incurred, as the jriaintiffs claim,
since the making of the mortgage,
but. as the Road avers, almost en
tirely subsisting at the time of and
prior to. the making of the mortgage.
The claim of the plaintiffs is that
1 the bond3 they hold were regularly
Issued in exchange for non-mortgage
bonds delivered up and retired under
the terms of tho mortgage on payment
of a certain proportion in cash, and
that the bonds so held by them are
entitled to priority of payment over
the bonds Issued as collaterals ; that
is, that the mortgage was made to
secure bonds issued for tho purpose
of retiring the unsecured bonds and
extinguishing tho floating debt, and
they having exchanged their bouds
in good faith are entitled to the se
curity of tho mortgage over the hold
ers of the bonds issued for other pur
poses thau those specified in the
mortgage.
Tho position of tho road and the
holders of the bonds issued as collat
erals is, that the road had a right to
issue tho bonds for other purposes,
provided they did not exceed $3,000,-
000, and all the bonds so issued are
entitled to share In the mortgage,
and that the party who took these
bonds as collaterals was not bound
to soe that they had been issued in
tho sarno manner as the bonds sold
or exchanged, but had a right to pre
sume they were properly issued. The
road further maintains that the use
of the bonds as collaterals for in
debtedness existing at the date of tho
mortgage was legitimate, and that
all debts incurred since, for which
these bonds are pledged, were in
curred for the purpose mentioned on
tho mortgage.
These are the main points of tho
case. The road, as is well knpwn,
failed to meet, its interest on its
second and non mortgage bands in
April last, aud the Interest on the
first mortgage bonds on the first of
July last, aud this has precipitated
the matter.
Tho other points raised by the
plaintiffs are too numerous to be
touched on in this place, with the
exception of the chief ones, which
are as follows:
1. The plaintiffs charge mal-ad
minist,ration of me road, and that it
has been run in the iuterest of cer
tain individuals.
2. That the trustees have been
guilty of gross neglect of duty in
allowing the bonds to be misapplied,
after they had endorsed their eertifi
cates of correctness on each bond.
3. That the road has pledged to
certain of the directors of the road,
called a Syndicate, to secure ail
vances by them mado.to the road,
sundry property of the company,
and has made a specific pledgo of t he
income of the company to them,
when such an income was already
mortgaged to the first and second
mortgage bondholders.
The defendants in their answers,
deny these charges, and claim that
the pledges of the syndicate were
both necessary and legitimate.
It is on this ease that the plain
tiffs aro now moving before Judge
Bond for a receiver, so as to take
this road out of the hands of the
present, administration. At the same
time they are moving for an injunc
tion to prevent the holders of tnese
collateral bonds from selling the
same, and placing them in the hands
of bona fide third parties, in whose
hands it might be difficult to
trace them. Jt is conceded on all
sides that tho road is not,at this time,
able to meet its obligations, its in
debtedness, secured and unsecured,
amounting to ab0ut56,288,115,44. It
may be added, iu connection with
this case, that owing to some defect
in the probate of the deeds for record
in Georgia, they are claimed to be
void there, aud attachments have
been levied on the property of the
.South Carolina Railroad Company in
Augusta, one by the People’s Savings
institution of this place, and another
by the Syndicate for the debt claim
ed by them.
