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.
