The holdors of some of tho romaining bouds haye, however, attomptod to euforco tho psymont of the whoio amount, and have commoncad suits, and obtained ludg- ments therofor. Tho firat mortgage gave o lien on ‘the firat and socond grand divis- fons, and 8o much of the roud of "tho third ns ran from the smocond division to the Mieslssippi River, near Burling- ton, commoncing at Rockford. The road was subsequontly oxtouded to Sterling in one dirac- tion, aud to St. Louis in the othor. Tho socond mortgage was made to sooura the wholo amount of 0,000,000, including the frst issuo of 5,000,000, and covored the whole rond asit nowousts, This raises o difficull point. The Truatee, tho complainant, admits that the Bolders of tho first {uaue of tha bonda may claim undor the first or sccond moflgngc, ‘but insists that thoy cannot claim_undor both., The road lisving “beon ehanged in its course aminco tho execution of tho first mortgago cuts the firat bondholdors out of s Iargo part of the secu- rity afforded them on the roadin the third grand divigion, ae that part of tho rond has boenal- tored.

At tho oponing of Court, Mr. Cary resumed his arguwont, suspendoed by tho adjourument yestordny, and debatod some of tho pomts then givon, e inslsted that the charter grantod by the Territory of Wisconsin for o railroad from Milwaukes to Waukeshs, snd thonco to Jenesville and the Missivsippi, vestod ioviolable rights in the companies succooding tho one authorized toconstruot that road, smong ‘which was tho power to regulate tholr tarif, and tho prosont Company had all the rights to maka profits out of tho rond emjoyed by the ongiual corporation. Io strongly com- troverted tho doctrine of Attornoy-Goue oral Sloan ond others, that tho right to repeal tho oharter involved that to take the proporty {of tho Companies organized undor it, and said tho same principle would apply to o gas compeny, rolling mill, or nowspapor association, The Legislaturs of Wisconaln could repeal overy obarter granted undor its conatitution, bué the Company had proporty, at wea thelrs, and thoy could use it according to the torms of tho grant. It is time poople understood that thoy bad no power of robboery, Tho property belonged to the utockboldors, Tho State utrl{»pad the railroad Oompany of every franchise, 1t had is ights of proporty proteciod; it had a sncred conteact with tho Stato older than the Constitution.
