or of the others except in the instances here in expressly permitted.” Those instances of the legislative acting as the judiciary depart ments aie the tiialsot impeachments, and ot the qualifications of their own members.— And the reasons ol this separation of powers are very clear, 'ihc Legislature, a body con stantly changing, and continuing its session only tor a few weeks, cannot be supposed to take into consideration the bearing of all form er acts on passing any new one. If, for in stance, the question had arisen in the present ease “shall this Legislature grant certain ex clusive privileges to the Georgia Hail Hoad it might have refused them, or passed them. — Hut if a former Legislature had granted them, this Legislature would leave it to the courts to judge of the limits of the grant. It mere ly expresses the conviction that if the former Legislature did grant certain privileges in the broad tonus churned by the advocates of the Georgia Hail Hoad—it granted more than the present Legislature would grant to the exten sion of the road. Hut it docs not encroach on the powers of the judiciary, by ascertain ing the precise limits of the former grant. Suppose then the IGth section of the amend- j merit to prove that, in the opinion of the leg islature, the original charter had granted ex clusive privileges in the sense claimed by the Georgia Rail Hoad. This second legislature 1 is not the authority for interpreting law ap pointed by the constitution; and that it did not intend a declaratory statute of what should thereafter be law, is evident from the implied censure its restriction as to the extension of the road gives to such large supposed grants in the first instance. All Ibis acknowledges the right of the legislature to have extended the privilege, if it had seen proper. Hut by what means? Either by enacting a statute di rectly for the purpose, or by a declaratory act —which, in the present instance, would have been virtually direct, the words of the former statute by no possibility bearing the extension of meaning. 1 would not contend that the legislature can never give au authoritative interpretation of a law in force. There is no doubt that its action upon an ambiguous law can decide upon the construction hereafter to be given; and it has even been made to have a retrospective influ ence upon former judicial decisions. Wheth er or not this latter appertains to the legisla ture (gis the former evidently docs) by the constitution —or without the constitution, is claimed on the ground of well established precedents—will have no material effect upon the point at issue. If the power be acknowledged, a declarato ry statute still takes effect, not as an expression of the MERE OPINION', but the will of the leg islature. To maintain that the mere opinion of the of legislature is sufficient, is to main tain that the most explicit and prominent pro vision of our constitution, is a nullity. The legislature is expressly deprived of judicial }Hjwcr, and therefore a declaration of what is law requires an expression of its trill. No one can contend tliat in the present ease the legislature intended to increase the exclusive privileges of the Georgia Hail Hoad. Hut even its opinion is not I’airly given as authority in favor of the broad claims of the Kail Road Company. A legislative proviso is often made without a direct and positive ne cessity. It is abundantly evident to every one who reads the statutes of the State, that provisos arc frequent against inferences which could never be drawn. The fact is undeniable —and the reasons for it may not lie very deep, j If then a proviso serves as merely presump tive evidence of the opinion of the legislature, Xwhich opinion is itself inoperative, unless ac companied with an expressed or implied indi cation of its will,) the existence of the law or ■right, which the proviso seems to suppose, must be proved ah extra. If this caution should be observed in ordinary statutes, how r much more is necessary in statutes granting exclu sive privileges. Every extension of these nar rows the rights of other parties in the same degree. The effects, however, upon the two parties, are by no means always equal. For while the prosperity of those excluded may have hung entirely upon the privileges re maining stationary—the company may be but slightly benefitted by the extension, and might have been but slightly injured if they had been left as they were found. This is a strong ground for a doctrine hereafter to be insisted on more fully—that of construing charters strictly. The benefits conferred on the com pany by an extension of privileges, arc often entirely disproportionate to the injuries inflict- i ed on others. With regard to the 2d section of the charter, wo have already shown, as w r o hope conclusive ly, that it leaves the legislature altogether un shackled, except as to roads running to Au gusta itself, from points within the limits as signed. The other section relied upon (th e Kith of the amendment) would bind it only with a rope of sand. It is simply a hand point ing to the original charter for information— with a presumption, it is true, that the infor mation will be of a particular character, which presumption is falsified by the fact. It is contended, however, by some, that the spirit of the charter prevents any charter to a road crossing the Georgia Rail Road. Now the letter of the first section relied on, is so explicit, that it would be folly to argue seriously for such an extension of its terms as would preclude our right. The letter of the gecond section (16th of the amendment) grants nothing, and it is against the supposition that the spirit of it precludes us, that w r e have been arguing. The spirit of it seems to us to be any thing rather than that of enlarging the privileges of the company. So far from show ing any disposition to enlarge the original rights of the company, it rather serves to re strict them (if so largo, as claimed) on the ex tension of the road. The legislature which granted the original charter, did not invc§| the company with any right which could interfere with dur charter. The sole dependence, there fore, of its opponents is that the 2d legisla ture passed an act, one section of which may have resulted from a conviction that the Ist legislature intended to grant the to J the extent claimed —and which may have rc j suited, as has been shown, from some other { cause. And which, wo have already shown, even if it did result from their conviction, ! would not have settled the question, without the formalities accompanying a declaratory act. i Again ; It was under the original charter I that a large proportion of the stock was gub j scrilied, an 1 its provisions were those which in , Uucnccd capitalists. Now no section of this ' charter does, by the most remote implication, take away the right of the legislature to grant charters for future roads crossing the Georgia Hail Hoad. It no more tends to interfere with other rail roads, except to Augusta, than with the ordinary roads to that place. Chartered companies are mere creatures of i law. They have no natural inherent rights to fall back upon, when privileges granted by legislative enactment fail. Individuals have rights which the law docs not grant —many which it leaves as it finds —some which it re stricts. Hut the law is the creator of a char tered company, and its rights. If, therefore, a capitalist wishes to invest money in the ! ttoek of any company, it behoves him to cx j amine accurately what the privileges are, se | cured to the company by the State. If the j privileges be exclusive, yet greater diligence is necessary, as monopolies are not favorites of law, and from their natural disposition to in crease their own powers, need that cheek which is given by a strict construction of their char- ; ters. What then is, and ought to be the rule for constructing charters ? It is, by law and cus tom, and ought to be in justice, strict. If the charter contains no ambiguities, the letter and the spirit are one, or differ by a hair’s breadth. Kit is of doubtful meaning, then, and then only, may implication, decide it. In what class of any communit y do you find most of caution r Is it not the prominent feature of those very capitalists who construct railroads | and engage in chartered enterprises ? The ' law may well take it for granted that these knew what they were doing when they in vested their money. And therefore the law need fear no injustice when it holds them strictly to its express grants. A summary as brief as possible, to show the relative position of the parties, must draw the present article to a close. If there are any circumstances which can warrant confidence in an application for a char ter, they concur in our case. Formerly a wealthier people than at present, we have still | enough to pay largely towards that road which the State has built as an evidence of her deep conviction that such modes of communi cation arc all important. If we arc deprived of the use of our own means in attaining the same end, which the State, from her own rc | sources, has enabled another section of the State to attain —there is no one but must see that the bearing of the law is hard, though if j 0 , : it could be shotrn conclusively to bo the bearing i of the law, we will submit with the best grace possible. Our prospects for the future, if the road is built, are flattering —if not built, not only blank, hut hopeless. The plan of uniting with the Georgia Railroad has failed under circum stances which must probably forever bar it. ; The advantages of a union of the Georgia I ° ° : Railroad with the Central, are supposed by | many competent judges to be great to both roads. If the former contests the right of chartering our road, it will show its present | opinion to the contrary —hut should it ever change its views, it would undoubtedly prefer a j unction lower down, as giving it business for a greater distance. What is our hope, then, if at present disappointed ? Is it not utterly null ? And what is the ground of opposing our charter? Is it the letter of the law granting 1 exclusive privileges to the Georgia Railroad I Company: The letter docs not touch our right. Is it the spirit of the law ? Was it the actual intention of the Legislature in the amendment, to enlarge the exclusive privi leges of the company ? What could have been the motive of the Legislature ? Would it pass a law gratuitously , to favor a road already j begun, in a far higher degree than one for which the stock had not, yet been subscribed r What is the motive for granting monopolies r It is, that odious as they are, great public works could not be otherwise built. Shall the Legislature, unasked, increase the privileges 1 of the part of the road already certain, while it denies the same privileges to the part as yet wanting encouragement ? The public benefits of the part already built, ! or subscribed for, were secure. Allow the State to have been grateful for then} —should it have paid the debt of gratitude with our rights r —a mere pittance to the road, ruinous to us. ■ Will the Legislature refuse to allow us to ; build a great public work, all important to our- 1 selves, of immense advantage to the State at 1 large, only slightly injurious to the Georgia* Railroad Company (if not of advantage, in- ; deed) and certainly not conflicting with its j chartered rights? Will it be bound by a cobweb implication in a charter —an instrument which law and common sense declare should be com strued strictly—when every circumstance goes I I to show that the spirit of the Legislature as j i well as the letter of its act, granted no such rights as would interfere with our claims ? If our enterprise fails, it dies by a blow in | the dark, from a hand unconscious of its act. Shall wo not rather say by an unwilling instru ment in the accomplishment of au end, which it designed not itself, but thought to have been ! already accomplished by another ? There is, not from the difficulty, but the Im portance of the case, a strong necessity for all the advocates of the charter to prepare tho roughly against any attack in an unexpected quarter. Law and equity are in our favor. Let not our own supineness defeat us. MODERATION. Washington, Ga., Sept, 21st, 1847.
