In our last issue wc gave some Ibiv
nnd faetsrflearing upon the legal as
pect of the bridge question. Wc
have since examined the matter more
closely, and have become convinced
(hat we were mistaken in some of the
facts presented. The article was not
intended to injure Col. Tift, nor was
it written in maliee, hence wc »|>ecd-
ilv and cheerfully correct ilic mis
takes we unwittingly made.
1. The charter of 18.18 to build n
bridge at Albany, was not granted to
Nelson Tift, alone, but to Tomlin-on
Fort, Nelson Tift and Jeptha Harris.
1 This charter was not amended
by the act of 1852, but, by the act, n
a fie charter was granted to “Xclson
Tift and A. II. Brisbane, and surli
other persons as they may associate
with them.” The tolls allowed by
thU charter “were to be such as were
authorized by law to he charged by
the Macon and Colnmbus bridges.
The Macon and Colnmbus bridges
were not rtq»i.td to let produce pass
free, as was indicated by our article,
but the cities of Macon and Colum
bus were proprietors of the bridges,
and had the right to regulate tolls,
and they allowed produce to pass
tree. As Col. Tift's charter allowed
him to charge the name rates of toll
that were charged by the above men
tioned bridges, lie had the right, pro
vided he built under that charter, to
charge for produce.
3. The repeal of the charters in 1870
was. it seems, void and worthless.
The Code says that the forfeiture of a
charter dates from the judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction de
claring the forfeiture. The .Supremo

ed attention to a fart of infinite im
portance which (is lost sight of bv
those who consider the power of
Aineriea to enter into competition
with Knglaml. "They look simply to
tlie Northern mills, but there is a rot-
ton industry growingtip in the South
ern States. It is only equal at pres
ent to one tenth of the entire United
States industry; but the Southern
manufacturer claims to liuve advan
tage over Northern manufacturers.—
They have an abundant supply of
water, which i- available all the year-
round. instead of being subject to in
terruption in tlie winter owing to
frost, they have eotton close to their
doors; they have a more favorablo
climate, they have equally good ports
of shipment, and they can compete
w ith their rivals. If, then, the North
ern mills are already entering into
competition with ns and the Southern
manufacturers can compete success
fully with tlie Northern manufactur
ers, what is the prospect for us? The
position likely to be assumed by the
Southern Slates is a matter of infinite
Importance to us.”

A letter in the New York Times,
from Greenville, South Carolina, i says that the “Legislature rnnnot re

4. But, as it is said that Col.Tift does
not claim under either of the char
ters referred to, they have nobcaring

various causes, among them yellow
fever, last summer, the cotton goods
increased in quantity and improred
in quality, and found ready sale.

The Americus Recorder says Su

will also furnish free passes to those

We notice that a few paper* have
slurred Governor Colquitt for deliv
ering Sunday School addresses when
be has been invited to do so, insinu
ating that it is an electioneering
scheme on his part As there is no
race on hand at this junctnre, we
think such ill-natured flings are con
temptible. When politics in this
country degenerate into such low
malice that private and religious
character must he attacked and the
humblest acts of Christian devotion
impugned, then indeed have we fall

The Columbus papers report the
death of Rev. Arminius Wright in
that city last Wednesday. The de
ceased had been in bad health for
some time, and his death was not
unexpected, though none the less a
blow to friends and kindred. Mr.
Wright was a minister of the Metho
dist Episcopal Cbnrch and his pasto
rate extended over a period of thirty
years. The Augusta Chronicle says
of him: “He was an earnest and
consistent Christian and a zealous
and faithful pastor. Those who
knew him will not doubt that he has
at last received the rich reward which
God allot- to the righteous mao.”
upon the question.
5. Prior to 1850 the common law
which was then of force, was that n
bridge or ferry to receive toils was
“a franchise to be granted by the
State.’’ The act of 1850 granted to
the owners of land on both sides of
the stream power to establish a bridge
or ferry without a charter. To tiiis
act was attached a clause repealing
all conflicting laws. Col. Tift's bridge
was built in 1857 or 1858, and while
this act, which is embodied in section
number 684 of the code was in force.
Section 2233 of the code was,it seems,
an opinion of the Supreme Court,
and not codified till 1863 when the
code was adopted, and after the act
of 1850, which act was the law in
force when Col. Tift built his bridge.
This law gave the land owner erect
ing such bridge or ferry the right to
charge the same tolls as were charged
by other bridges or ferries on the
same stream.
The statute of limitations does not
run against the State, but may run
against a county, which is a corpora
tion. But Col. Tift, it seems, holds
his bridge by ufee simple title, hence
it appears that the statute of limita
tions does not affect Col. Tift’s rights
in the premises.
We gladly make these corrections
as a matter of justice to Col. Tift and
of right to ourselves. The matter
has been decided by the meeting on
Saturday last, and that decision meets
with our hearty approval and support.
Dougherty county onght to have the
bridge, and we shall labor zealous
ly to carry into effect the determina
tion expressed by the meeting on
Saturday. We hope everybody in
terested in the welfare of Albany
will work for the bridge.
The Death of Prince Napoleon.
The death of this young man was
announced by telegraph several days
ago, but later dispatches confirm a
fact, that many hoped, and thought
might have been prematurely pub
lished. Now there is no doubt that
this young I’rincc was killed as re
ported. His death, at least, east no
reproach upon Ids ancestry, or his
name. The following wc take from
the New Orleans Democrat, in reft-r-
en cc to him:

A small item, yet one of great im
portance to the whole world, comes
from Africa—the news that prince
Louis Napoleon, the Prince Imperial
of France, lias been killed by the Zu
lus in a .skirmish. It is news of im
portance indeed to France. Lulu, as
the political enemies of the young
Prince was wont to call him, was tlie
representative, wc might say the only
representative of Napolcouism in
France. The Prince Lucieu was un
popular and all the other members of
the lamilv were seldom seen, and still
more seldom heard.
The young Prince was the hope
and dream of imperialism, and with
bis death the Imperialist partv lias
almost lost its cause since it has lost
the only one around which it could
gather. It is not likely that the Im
perialist will take up tiny of the cous
ins of the young Prince with zeal or
order. Indeed the Zulus have re
moved the only enemy that the Re
public of France had to fear. Of the
young Prince’s disposition and tal
ents very little is known. He was
amiable and pleasant, and greatly
preferred field sports to politics. It
is said his journey to Africa was
made to escape the political intrigues
into which his mother and Roulicr
endeavored to force him. lie grew
tired of playing the dignified Prince,
and the heir to n great idea and a
great empire, and preferred active
life with a few chosen comrades,
young officers like himself, in Africa,
lie was undoubtedly a man of conr-
ugc, like all the Napoleons, but prob
ably of less talents than his father.—
He was evidently a better man than
most of his family, and far more En
glish in his ideas, pleasures and
thoughts than French.
Another Veto.
The President has vetoed the Ju

tains a provision declaring that none
of the money voted in the bill shall
be appropriated for the expenses of
special deputy marshals at eleetion
and also provides that no officer of
the government shall incur any lia
bility Cor defraying the expenses of
such deputy marshals. The Presi
dent has returned the bill without his
signature, on the ground that it leaves
him powerless to perform his duty
in the execution of the laws which he
has sworn to execute. The future

adjournment.
The editor of a very small weekly
in Georgia, a paper published at Con
yers, gives expression to some of the
most abusive language against the
members of the present Legislature.
He says they are going to Atlanta
this summer simply to drink whisky,
lead sensual lives and be bribed for
their votes. Some men, as ignorant
as tbi* pretended guide of pnbllc
opinion, will be fools enough to be
lieve this. The roll of the legislature
embraces many of our purest and
best men. If this editor will read the
new constitution he will see what
work is required of the Legislature
and moreover that this work must be
done at ft per day, a sura less than

The all night session of the Senate-

to the interchange of courtesies by
Senators Lamar and Conkling, Mr.

Mr; Blaine ■‘as the hyena among pol
iticians and the scavenger among
birds, whose business was to root
among the offal of dead issnes for the
food on which he lived.” At one
stage of the proceedings Mr. Sauls-
bury suggested that the Sergeaut-at-

the suggestion wea intended as n
