PROMISES TO PAY. f
Another "Boom ln Confederate
BondsThe Foreign' Specula
tors' ILnoeli'insr at the Doors of
Congress for Relief A . Talk
with a IB road Street .Broker. i
Charleston News and Courier, !
VI cannot understand it 'at all," said
a Broad street broker to ' a" reporter,
for the News and Courier yesterday.?
"xnere is anotner Doom in uonieaer-
ate bonds. Why v it" is I don't know
and I don't suppose' that anybody,
could give a reasonable explanation
of this eternal speculation in the se
curities of a government that passed
out of - existence more than; twenty
years ago. It is true, however, that
there is another boom m Uonfedersto
bonds and we are offering $4 a thous
and, while the holders are asking $5.;
The bonds bring from .$3 to $4 and
the demand that we get always come
from . Richmond . , The Richmond
stock brokers who seem to be dealing
in these neciirieties most largely are
Thomas Branch & Co , land ; R H.
Maury & Co. - Generally they say
that ; they don't . know, , why, there
should be any demand for the bonds,
and that they are buying on. orders
from across the" water or tor persons
in New York who are acting for spec
ulators on the other side. There are
very few of . these bonds left in
Charleston and it is hard to get them..
It seems to me , that tins' craze will
never die out and that there nre aU
ways foolish people ' who ? will risk
their money on securitieswhich caii
have no standing in" law, r and for
which there should be under ordinary
circumstances no demand whatever.
1' suppose, that :.' t his present demand
has been causd by an advertisement
which, appeared in the New York
Hearaid on Sunday last in, whiqh it
was stated that a conimittee, consists
ing of the Right Hon. Lord PeDzance,
the Hon; Thomas C. Bruce, M. P. ,
Messrs. John' L.. Gorse; Q.; C M. P.
John P Martin, and Rbert Stewart,
has been appointed m London to act
as trustees or the Uonrederate bond
holders, -In view of the solicited ac
lion by the Congress . of I the5 United
states persons noiaing sucn Donas,
wherever situated, are requested to
send to Mr. William F. Moore, in
care of the Hon. Wm. Fuller ton of
counsel, . 18 Exchanfc e , Place, New
York City, giving?: the number: of
bonds held by them respectively, the
dates of issue and the number of
coupons attached to each bond
"In the New lorK neraia, 01
Monday, the following paragraph in
relation to the subject was published:
'There - was a good deal of talk in
financial circles yesterday about an
announcement in the morning papers
to the effect that a committee had
been aDDOinted in Liondon to act as
trustees for Confederate bondholders.
Mr. Wm F Moore, to whom all
holders of such bonds are requested
to send 1 their names and a lull de
scription of their securities; said that
the object of the announcement was
to prepare tor concenea action Dy an
t.hn bondholders. ; Brokers and finan
ciers are inclined to regard ! the -an
nouncement as an attempt on the
part of London speculators to give
value to a parcel oi -wortniess oonus.
'It aDDears from these statements
that the Confederate bondholders in.
tetid to petition Congress for. some
relief: in Other words, they want the
United Stotes government to pay for
the bonds which they h'jld. It is not
at all likelv. however, that the Unit-?
ed States government will do any
such thing.- - -

falling due m 1865. the most vaiua
ble of which are those with j the cou
pon payable m April, July and Oc
tober or tnat year, muiiuus ' upon
millions of the bonds: have been sold
since the craze first began, and the
Southern people have received at least
fc500.000 . in , good v lawiui cur
rencv of : the Government for the
bonds that have been: aireaoy ? 010.
At a rough icuessl I suppose that
thirty million dollars' worth of Con-
federate bonds nave been soio m ine
aggregate. The demand for these so
called securities : has - varied largely
since the first sale was made. Six
weeks ago ' the bonds were in good
demand: Then there, was a lull in the
market and . there-was neither: any
demand nor any sale for such stock
The craze has begun again and it
seems that it f is never going to die
nut.
"The highest price Daid in Charles-'
ton for Uontederate bonus nas been
$ 13 ner thousand. : The first bonds
that were sold brought only . $1 per
thousand." but the average price paid
has been .$6 a thousand. , I. bought
4265.000 worth; from' the estate of a
former well known resident of this
ritv . for which I paid $9 50 a thous-
ani. The bonds have sold as high, as
S17 a thousand in New York. I don't
eut'pose thatthere is any ground for
believing that any part of the Con-
federate dprft will be paid by ihe
the United Slates Government. The
Gkmfederacy died as a; government
twenty-ore years -ago and. it will
never be reconstructed." : . ! - :

thorizing a county to be divided into
suitable road districts, but providing
that: no incorporated city- or town
should be embraced in such district.
It further provided: that a tax might
be levied for road purposes on all the

that situated m cities and towns, and
the revenue arising therefrom should
oe divided among tne road, districts.
not according to the number of miles
in such district, but according to the
amount . of work needed v on such

any ; taxpayer ..might, discharge his
road tax working onjthe roads withm
the district where the tax was charge

That the tax was uniform 2d.; That
the tax could be levied on the props

That, the taxpayer in the city could
pay, his tax by his labor.

rather than as binding rules in the
construction of wills. The construe
tion of the will depends largely upon
the circumstances of the testator as
they appear from the will itself. '

testator to words and i phrases in a
will, when it appears, must .prevail;
