I* will be remembered that in February presented to the Court. Judge Withey, in* deciding pur- year this threatened proceeding was used for the the case, says in the first place (very much as we asserted pose of depressing the stocks and bonds of the roads eighteen months ago) that the issuing of the internal affected. At that time we showed how baseless the improvement bonds was a transaction between the State claim was, aad yet importance was given to it because and the companies solely; that the State made and the names of some prominent lawyers were publicly used agreed to pay the bonds, the company in no degree (whether by authority or not we do not know) as whatever becoming a debtor to the bondholder, or prom- endorsing the bondholders' view.

Consequently, ever wliich is now made public, as above stated, sets the and in accordance with such facts, the lien given is question at rest, for it puts the issue in so clear a light expressly and solely to the State. It was the State that that the complainants will be able to see extremely little the railroad company dealt with altogether. The State appeal. hope of a reversal on dictated the terms and the company accepted them ; the Our readers will remember that the General Assembly terms were (1) that the State should have a lien upon of the State of Tennessee passed, February II, 1852, an the company's property for principal and interest; (2) act kaown as the " Internal Improvement act of the that the interest should be paid by the company to the Stata of Tenaessee," extending aid to railroad companies State at least fifteen days before it should become due; by a loan of State bonds. The State of Tennessee was (3) that the principal of the bonds should be paid by then in good credit, and her six per cents brought a the company by means of a sinking fund provided by it premium in the money markets of the world. The bonds in the State Treasury. which were issued under this act were transferable by Furthermore, there is no declaration of a trust in any delivery, and ran not less than thirty nor more than forty portion of the statute, nor can trusteeship be implied from years from the respective dates of issue. They were any section of it. We must remember that at that time paid to the railroad company and sold in open market the State credit was unquestioned and its bonds were without endorsement or guarantee. The State was at a premium. It would require therefore a very plain invested by the terms of the statute with a lien upon indication on the part of the Legislature to construe the each section of the company's road as soon *fi the bonds statute as intending to make the State a trustee for the for that section were issued, and upon final completion bondholders, since, when it gave its promise that the debt of the road such lien was to attach to the entire road should be paid, no more could have been thought neces- and its equipments. The company was to be incapable sary either by the law-maker or by the State, or by the of creating any lien conflicting with that in favor of the purchaser of the bond. It is repugnant to reason, State. therefore, and to the condition of the parties at that The condition of the roads and of the credit of the time, to imply (except from a very plain declaration State during and subsequent to the war, is well known. of the law, from which there is no escape) that there In 1869-70, although none of the principal of the rail- was any subordinate security given to the bondholder road aid bonds had matured, the General Assembly of or that the Legislature permitted the State to assume a the State (to enable the respective companies to repay trusteeship in his behilf. The State promised to pay the principal of their indebtedness for bonds loaned to the bond, and, to protect the State's liability, the railroad them) passed an act permitting payment in any of the gave it a lien. Under such circumstances, the Court outstanding bonds of the State. To obtain money to very well says, it is not its province to import conditions purchase State bonds for surrender, they were severally into a contract that appear neither by the plain terms authorized to issue mortgage bonds upon their respective of the statute nor of the bond issued under it. roads, and deposit them with the Comptroller of the Then, again, there are provisions of the act which are State to be by him delivered to the company whenever directly repugnant to any such construction. For and as Tennessee State bonds were by the company instance, the sixth section reserves to the State the surrendered and canceled.
