The Gould-Sage Case.
New York, March 5.-Lawyers Delancy Nicoll and Andrews have sent the district attorney a letter giving reasons why the Kansas Pacific bondholders' case against Messrs. Gould & Sage should be pressed upon the attention of the new grand jury, despite the failure of the last grand jury to indict. They hold that the court erred in informing the grand jury that the law as to limitation in such cases is settled. The court should have admitted that a difference of opinion exists in legal minds, and should have favored an indictment in order to bring the case in court and permit of a settling of the rule.
