Something About the Pension Agvncy at Indianapolis. We have recently read the new law about paying pensions, adopted July 8, 1870, and we would like to ask some attention to that part of it regarding the enormous pay of the Agent at Indianapolis, whose duty particularly described in the said law.

This law speaks of the Agent's pay as being $4,000 under the old law, (per annum), to which is added under the new law, thirty cents fee to him, quarterly, for each person he pays, and it is estimated that about 8,500 pensioners are paid at the said Agency, four times a year, which lees make $10,200 per annum, to which is added the $4,000, making in all, each and every year, the very handsome amount of $14,200 Out of this amount, however, the Agent is required to pay the postage on the vouchers, and the checks, which he transmits to the pensioners, which may be estimated at $2,200, which would still leave him $12,000 cash per annum. The vouchers, (printed pension blanks), we believe, are furnished by the Government, without charge to any one.

What we have to say about this, is, that if these estimates are corrcct, if is too much pay for any one incumbent of a pleasant office, in a Republican Government, and we think there is not a member of Congress from this, or any other State, but will also come to the same conclusion, when his attention is called to the subject. But what is the remedy Reduce the fees, or divide the Agency, or make another Agency at Evansville, Terre Haute or Michigan City, for the accommodation of those who live near said places who now have to go or send to Madison, Indianapolis or Fort Wayne.

In New York City, we understand, there are two Agencies—one for paying females, and one for paying the males, by which, such enormous salaries are avoided, and the payments made much more promptly. There are many onelegged or one-armed intelligent soldiers in this State, who would gladly accept the office, at three or four thousand dol

cumbent at Indianapolis. Of this fact, there can be no doubt. There are three Pension Agencies in this State, and if the Agents are all as well paid as appears to be the case at the State Capital, it makes a leak which we think the Chairman of the Committee 011 Pensions at Washington City ought to look into and abate.

We support the Administration, and are for Reform and RETRENCHMENT in all places where these inordinate wastes can be found—not only in our own State, but in all the States of the Union. We, people in the country, and in the villages round about, do not see the propriety of giving one gentleman ten or twelve thousand dollars a year, when that amount would handsomely support three or four of our mutilated soldiers, or when two-thirds of that amount might be taken from the tax list, and left uncollected in the hands of the people—the hard-working men of the country. Applying these remarks to all the Pension Agencies of the Union, where they may possibly apply, it makes an amount that ought to be saved for more important and worthy purposes, and we hope our Senator at Washington City will look into this matter and see how it stands, with the view of making a much needed amendment of the Pension bill of July 8, 1870. Such immense salaries are bad in more ways than one, and they always give the incumbents a disaese known in the country as "big-head," for which there is no cure but one, which we need not mention.

We notice recently, that Gen. Coburn is about introducing a bill in Congress to make this oilice elective by the people.

THE CANAL DEBT.

Correspondence Between (iovernor Ba kcr and Hendricks, Hord & Jfeiidr eksOpinion of the Latter.

The following correspondence in relation to the Wabash & Erie Canal Bonds, between Governor Baker and Hendricks, Hord & Hendricks will explain itseif, and, taken in connection with the Governor's Message, will be "found very interesting

DECEMBER 20,1870.

Messrs. Hendricks, Hord A- Hendricks Attorneys at Law, Indianapolis Ind.: GENTLEMEN In August last I employed your firm on'hehalf of the State to advise and assist me in properly protecting the interests of the State connected with and dependent upon a suit brought

the Carroll Circuit Court-by

John W. Garrett, of Baltimore, Maryland, against the Board of Trustees of the Wabash & Erie Canal.

O. B. Hord, Esq., of your firm, at my request, accompanied me to Delphi at the August term, 1860, of said Court, and such proceedings were had in the cause that a continuance resulted to the February term, 1871—this being one of the results I sought to obtain, so that the Legislature would be in session before any judgment could possibly be rendered against the Canal Trustees.

In pursuance of this original employment, as weil for my own guidance as for. the information of the General Assembly, to whose consideration the entire subject will be referred, I now desire your professional opinion on the followJnsr points, viz: 1st. Are the 41 old Internal Improve-ment-bonds Issued the General Internal Improvement Act of January 27,1838, held by John W. Garrett, and mentioned in his complaint, as well as other similar bonds still outstanding, a lien on the Waba«h 4 Erie Canal, or on any part thereof?

^r~n^

if such bonds are a lien on a part of said Canal, but not on the whole, please state the part embraced by the lien. 2d. Are the same bonds a lien on any other, and if on any other, 011 what other of tho canals, railroads and turnpike roads formerly owned by the State of Indiana? 3d. If said bonds are alien on the Wabash & Erie Canal, or on any part of it, and other public works formerly owned by the State, please state in your written opinion, the order in which the principles of equity jurisprudence would require these several public works, including the Wabash & Erie Canal, or a part of it, to be subjected to the payment such lien? 4th. If tl lien supposed in the last question does exist, can it be enforced in the State or Federal Courts against the Wabash & Erie Canal or a part of it, in the hands of the Canal Trustees, and against the other public works embraced by the lien in the hands of the alienees— or those claiming under them—of the State according to the principles and in the order which govern such questions In Courts of Equity 5th. If the lien can be thus enforced, can the State, with propriety or safety, or in good faith to the owners of the stocks charged upon the canal under the legislation of 1840 and 1847, commonly called the "Butler bill," or in good faith to her guarantees—of the other works embraced bv the lien, permit it to be done it she has the ability to prevent such a result, by taking up the bonds which constitute the lien, the sum total of such bonds, exclusive of interest and exchange, not exceeding $191,000? 0. Supposing that such lien can be ana shall be enforced by judicial action, what effect would the permitting of the enforcement on the part of the State have in creating a just ground for asking relief from the Legislature by the holders of said stocks charged upon the canal under the Butler bill, and by the owners of the other works embraced by the lien

In furnishing me your opinion in response hereto, please state whether the members of your firm unanimously concur therein, and if not, who dissents, and the extent, nature and ground of such dissent. Respectfully yours.

for

CONKAD BAKER. Governor of Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 27,1870.

Conrad Baker, Governor of Indiana S!K—Your letter of the 20th inst., was received on the day upon which it was written.

Feeling impressed with the importance

the questions submitted to us

a professional opinion, we have considered them with special care. In response to them respectively, we submit the following as our views oil the questions of law:

First. The Act of the Legislature referred to by you, approved January 27, 1836, providing for a general system of internal improvements, contemplated the following works: 1. The White Water Canal. 2. The Central Canal. 3. An extension of the Wabash and Erie Canal, southwestwardly from the mouth of the Tippecanoe river. 4. A railroad from Madison to LaFayette. 5. A turnpike from Ivew Albany to Vincennes.

G. A railroad or macadamized road from Jefl'ersonville to Crawfordsville. 7. The removal of obstructions to the navigation of the Wabash River. b. A canal or railroad from Fort Wayne to Michigan City.

This system of improvement is prescribed by Section 4 of the Act (Rev. Stats. 1838, p. 337 and following). This 4th Section makes appropriation lor these several improvement, amounting in the aggregate to ten millions of dol-

*Ul» nnorf 11

Section authorizes a loan not exceeding $10,000,000, and prescribes the manner in which it may be borrowed The 0th Section is as follows: "For the punctual payment of the interest and final redemption of the principal of all sums of money which may be borrowed under the provisions of this act there shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated, the canals, rail and turnpike roads, with the portions of ground thereto appertaining and privileges thereby created and the rents and profits of the water-power thereof, together with the net proceeds of tolls collected thereon the sufficiency of which for the purposes aforesaid, the State of Indiana doth hereby irrevocably guarantee."

That it is competent for the Legisla ture to create such lien by statute, can not be doubted. It is not an open question. The section quoted unquestionably created a lien on all the public works, except, perhaps, the improvement of the Wabash river, provided for in Section 4, that might be brought into existence and completed, or partially completed by the State.

Large expenditures were made and substantial progress accomplished towards the completion of each of the first five public works provided for in Seetion 4, and for all loans made pursuant to Section 8 alien attached and that lien still exists, if the debts still exist.

As to all bonds held by Mr. Garrett, that,were issued under the eighth section of the law of 1836, and as to all other outstanding bonds issued under that law, we have do doubt but that they are a lien on all the public works specified as above as subject to the ten million loan authorized by the 7th seetion of the Act of 183G, the Western Division of the Wabash & Erie Canal being one of those works.

We do not, however, think that that lien extends to the Eastern Division of the canal that is, to the portion of it lying above the mouth of the Tippecanoe river. The Eastern Division did not form a part of the system of Internal Improvements provided for by the act of 1836. It had already been in progress as a distinct measure for several years.

An Act of Congress of March 7, 1827, had granted lands to aid in its construc tion. The Legislature of the State by Act approved January 26, 1828, had accepted the grant and made provision for prosecuting the work. By numerous other acts subsequent to that time and prior to 1836. it had made provision by authorizing loans of money, and otherwise, for constructing that canal.

The Tenth Section of the act of 1836 authorizes an additional loan of $500 000 to be applied in the construction and completion of this Eastern division which before that time had been known' as the Wabash & Erie Canal. For the payment of this loan, that canal (the Eastern division) its tolls, &c., and the proceeds of its lands, were specially pledged.

SKC. 11. Provides that distinct accounts of disbursements that had been or tliat might be made on that eastern di vision, should be kept. By an amendatory Act, approved February 6,1857, (R. S. 1838, p. 351) a distinct designation is given to that portion of the Canal lying west of the mouth ot the Tippecanoe river. It is enacted that it be designated as the "Wabash Canal." We think it manifiest that it was not the intention of the Legislature that the lien declared by the itth section of the Act of 1836, should extend to the eastern division, and are therefore, of the opinion that those of Mr. Garrett's bonds issued under the 8th section of the Act of 1886, and all other like bonds outstanding, are not liens upon that portion of the Wabash & Erie Canal lying east of the mouth of Tippecanoe river.

But there are other bonds outstanding and eomprehened within the $191,000 to which you refer, that in our opinion, do constitute a lieu on the eastern division of the Canal. Sixty-nine of those

ooe hundred and ninetyone bonds, are, jai wg understood, Wabash and Erie

Canal bonds, and form part of the several loans made for the construction of that Canal.

An Act, approved January 9, 183-, authorized a loan of $200,000. (Laws 1832, p. 2.

An Act, approved January 1, 1834, authorized a Joan of $400,000. (Laws 1834, p. 49.)

iooc

An Act, approved February 6, 1835, authorized a loan of $227,000. (Laws 1835, p. 25.)

The 10th section of the general Internal Improvement of 1836, authorized a further loan of $500,000, as we have already mentioned. For the loan of $227,000 authorized by the act of 1835, the faith of a State only was pledged. But for each of the other three loans the canal itself, the (eastern division,) its lands, revenues &c., were specifically pledged. We are not advised as to which of these several loaus the sixtynine outstanding Wabash and Erie bonds appertain. But if issued under either of the acts mentioned, except that one authorizing a loan of $227,000, as it is probable they were, they are alien on the eastern division of the canal.

Second. As to your second question, we have in effect answered it incidentally in our response to the first question.

In our view all the outstanding bonds issued under the authority of the 8th section of the act of 1836, are liens on all the public works composing the "system" provided ior in that act, and upon which the State, while it remained the owner, invested money and created values. This lien extends to and attaches upon the first five of the public works enumerated above. As to the outstanding Wabash and Erie Canal bonds, we are of the opinion that all of them except such as mav have been issued under the act of 1835, are specific liens upon all that portion of the canal lying east of the mouth of the Tippecanoe river.

Ihird. In reply to your third question we would say that so far as concerns the holders of bonds issued under the general Internal Improvement act of 1836, all the five roads and canals first enumerated above are directly subject to the lien. But as the State has long since transferred all these works to different persons or companies, those persons or companies have as between themselves certain equitable rights that the courts would notice and enforce in subjecting the different roads and canals to sale. The equitable rights to which we refer relate to the order in which the several canals and roads should be subjected to sale to satisfy the common lien. The idea or equitable theory governing the order in which property sold in such cases as this. If the owner of property subject to a lien, sells a portion of it, the purchaser has manifestly an^quitable right to require that the remainder of the property be first subjected before the portion purchased by him is resorted to. If, after a portion has been sold, another portion should be sold to another person, that second purchaser takes his portion subject to the same liability to which it was subject while in the hands of the party from which he bought but he in turn has the same equitable right to require that the remaining portion, still unsold, shall be subjected before the portion bought by him is sold, and so on. It results from thi?, as an equitable rule, that where property subject to a common has been sold out or mortgaged in parcels to different persons, at different times, though all the parcels are bound by the lien, they must be subjected to sale to satisfy the'lien, in the inverse order in which they have been conveyed. The last parcel should be sold first the next to the last should be sold second, and so on backwards to the first purchaser. This equitable right as between venders of portions of mortgaged premises is fully settled in our Supreme Court.

Fourth. To your fourth question we re ply: If those public works still belonged to the State, the lien could not be enforced, for the reason tfiiat the sovereign character of the State exempts it from liability to suit. But all those works having passed into the hands of private companies and corporations the lien may. be enforced by suit. Such suit may be brought to the State courts, or if the bondholder is a citizen of another State, it may be brought to the Federal Court. It may be prosecuted to final judgment and execution, and the roads and canals sold, or their revenues sequestered, according to the order of liability above stated,

Fifth and Sixth. It will be more convenient for us to answer your fifth and sixth questions together. It is necessary that we should first inquire whether the State is or is not liable to pay the $191,000 of bonds referred to in your fifth question. We understand that all of them appertain either to some one or more of the Wabash & Erie Canal loans, or to loans authorized in connection with the system of Internal Improvement of 1836.

All the bonds are comprehended within the provisions of the legislation you refer to, known as the Butler Bill, and might have been, but were not, .surrendered under its provision. A proviso to the 8th section of the act of 1847 suplementary to the original Butler Bill is as follows: "Provided further, that the State will make no provision whatever hereafter to pay either principal or interest of any in ternal improvement bond or bonds, until the holder or holders thereof shall have first surrendered said bonds to the Agent of State, and shall have received in lieu thereof certificates of stock as provided in the first section of this act, anything, in this act to the contrary notwithstanding" (laws 1847rp. 8). If this proviso is understood as a legislative determination that any bondholder who declined to accept the compensation should be paid nothing, it is manifestly obnoxious to the provision of Section 1, Article 10 of the Constitution of the United States which provides that no State shall pass any "ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts."

The bondholders held the obligations of the State redeemable in lawful money of the United States. It was not competent for the State to determine by law that it

would redeem those obligations,

by paying one-half in its own five per cent, stocks, and the other half in canal stock. It had no more legal or moral right to do this than to determine that it woidd pay nothing. It could do either with the assent of its creditors without such assent it could do neither.

Any attempt, by the exercise of mere

sovereignty, to force any such terms upon a nou-assenting creditor, is but repuaia-

tion. A State can do this and defy its creditors, for it can not be sued. But while its sovereignty places it above liability to legal coercion, it does not place it acove the obligations of public faith, or protect it from the denunciation of public sentiment. Its moral and legal obligation to pay remains unimpaired. There is simply no mode of legal enforcement.

That all 6uch u'nsuttcndercd bonds remain valid obligations against the State, notwithstanding any declaration to the contrary by the Legislature, is settled by the Supreme Court of the United States, the Court of last resort in such questions.

Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal vs. Beeis, 2, Black, 448. So far, therefore, as -concerning those unsurrendered bonds referred to in your ietter, held by parties who declined to become parties in the Butler adjustment of 1846-7, we think it is very clear that they are valid legaldemands against the State, and that it is the manifest dujy of the State to recognise them as such, arid to provide for their payment. Assug-

tested already, the payment of tbese bonds can not be enforced by direct legal

•u

-v—*-'

proceedings against the State. But as the holders of the bonds have a lien to secure their payment on property once owned by the State, but now owned by private persons and corproations, claiming under grants made by the State, the payment may be coerced by legal proceedings against the present owners of the property, to foreclose the lien. The case of Trustees of the Wabash & Erie Canal vs. Beers, above cited, establishes the righ- of the bond holders thus to proceed.

All those unfinished public works were disposed of by the State for what was deemed by the Legislature an adequate consideration. In no case was the assumption of the payment of these bonds, or any portion of them, a part of that consideration. The works were not sold subject to any lien on account of this indebted ness. The present owners of those several public works are under no more moral or legal obligation, to pay those bonds than they are to pay any otner debt of the State. They are liable as other citizens, are to pay their portion of taxes for that purpose, and there their moral and legal duty in the premises ends. There is clearly no more justice in permitting this property in their hands to be sold for the payment of this debt than there would be in confiscating any other private property of theirs for the payment of this or any other debt of the State. If the State should arbitrarily refuse payment of those bonds to the holders, "and should permit the Wabash & Erie Canal and the other canals and roads, covered by the lien, to be sold under judicial proceedings to satisty the debt, without making full and just compensation to the owners of the works so sold, it certianly would be justly chargeable with violation of good faith.

If out of the proceeds bf such sales the bonds should be satisfied, the liability of the State would not be at an end. It would only assume anew and probably more serious form. The owners of the respective canals and roads so sold would immediately have a claim against the State the justice of which would be too manifest to be denied. The attitude of the owners of the stock of the Wabash & Erie Canal. towards the State is such, that if the canal should be sold upon this lien, most serious embarrassment must result. It is understood that the owners of that canal stock desire that the State should resume the ownership of the canal and re-assume the indebtedness adjusted under the Butler Compromise, [and that they claim this as a legal or moral right. This question had not thus far been considered eitHer in the legislative or judicial department of«the State Governmen. But it is understood that many citizens wholly controverted the claim, and that a contest over the question, either in the legislative or in the judicial forum is imminent. If the canal, or either division of it, should be sold upon both or either of the liens referred to, to satisfy the outstanding bonds of the State, and if the creditors, who had taken the canal in compromise of their debts, should thereupon demand a recision of the compromise agreement, and they be let in again as creditors, their demand wonld be entitled to serious consideration.

If they should urge that their bonds that had been surrendered by them to the State in exchange for the canal, should be restored to them because the State had suffered the property to be sold and taken from them, for the payment of its own debt to other persons, the ar gument would, to say the least of it, be plausible. And it seems not improbable that if the canal should be sold, and taken from the possession of its present owners under the lien created by the State in 1836, and prior thereto, for a debt whicji it has neither paid nor adjusted,

the claim for a resumption of that part of her debt, which was adjusted under the Butler Compromise, would grow in Hr vmfyantb tmdiP practically settled in advance or against the State, for it would be difficult, if not impossible, to say that the parties to that settlement should have neither their bonds, nor the property which they agreed to receive in their discharge.

We have the honor to submit the foregoing as our professional opinions upon the questions proposed, and to say that it expresses the views of each of us.

Very respectfully, HENDKICKS, HORD & HENDRICKS.

The past history of our store,fall hough marked almost weekly by some great surprise to our customers, nevertheless does not purnish any parallel to the Extraordinary] Inducements with which we inaugurate the new year.

OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING!

As we glance back over the work accomplished in seven short month9, we are sure our customers will not wonder at our feeling a little elated at our unusual, but not to us, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Haute convinced us that here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the various system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this sys

tem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of goods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores,

would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, "Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In iiioa wo majrkprl nut nnr p.ourse and have pursued it without fear or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed oi

our discomfiture. We are not even sure that this opposition might not lake the form of personal violence, so when tho high-priced stores took this way to bolster up their falling fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.

At one bound our Store took its position at the head of the Dry Goods Trade of Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and en

couraging messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all bidding us go forward and never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy and hearty good will of the great masses of the people.

Anew and still greater Eeduction in our prices is the Kew Year's Greeting that we bring to all of our Customers.
