Tlie Railroad Bill.
Wo copy below tbe bill to regulate the
rales of froighl »n'i travel over the rail-
roedi of Georgia, which he* passed the
Home of JtepreoenUlivoe end is pvvdiflg
before the Senet*. It ie eeitl diet eheVefc*
eeUblithed by the ect of 1831, which ero
rcenactoJ for ell the roedi, ero' five cenTa
per mile for passengers, end fifty fcente
per hundred tnilei for 100 lb*, of fraj^it.
The express coaopeaio* ero limited Ui tlio
•eme chargee. Not having au*as to the
aeeerel act* of incorporation of tbe rail,
road compaoie* pf the Hi a to, wo eta not
advised whether l ho LagisleUiro rijUijioJ
the right to regutfle or limiUheir chargca
If not, we preeaeno that tbo queilibo of
tbe conatitulioiialily of thie act, ahould it
pass, will be tested before fbapourta. That
eaorbltant chargee, especiall j*for fretgfiti,
have been mad • by aoniu of the railroad
companion, we do not doubt; but tbe roade,
in tbeir preaent crippled condition, and In
▼iow of the purchasing value of the cur
rency, can hardly do a paying bueincaa at
tbe old rates.
Weaee it stated that the Macon and
Waatern Itallroad has already reduced its
forte for passengers to llvo cents per mile,_
whether In view of the prospect of the
pessege of this bill, we do not knoar:
A Bill to be entitled an Aet to regulate the
rates of freight end travel over the ter*
rral railroads of tl\e State, and to pun-
ieA for a violation thereof.

9 subject to indictment in the Superior

lined each in e sum not exceeding two
thousand doltnra, and shall each be Im
prisoned In the common jail of the county

at Ilia diaorelion of the couifj provided

construed as to prevent any injured party
from proceeding against any of said rail

or by tbe common law writ of quo war
ranto for the forfeiture of its charier.
Sec. 6. lie it further enacted, That tbe
rates for passenger travel and freights
over the Western and Atlantic Railroad
aliall conform in every respect to tho pro
visions of tbe first three sections of this
act.
Secretary Howard has returned to
Washington. He did uot go to’ Vera
Crux, at tbe New York sensation mon
gers predicted he would. Consequently,
all the exciting paragraphs which were
written on the strength of hie supposed
visit ere consigned to oblivion. Whether
Mr. Sewerd intended to sgree with Maxi
milian for the evacuation of Mexico, or
whotber he intended to mike a treaty
with the seme potentate for the abandon
ment of the Monroe doctrine, ere now
idle speculetions. Mr..Seward did not go
to Vera Crux, and never intended to go.

attached to “Now York news."
Wo laarn from the Troy (Ala.) Adver
tiser, that F. U. Boykin has been elected
to the Siato Senate from Tike county, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by tho resigna
tion of Col. Wilkerson,
Gon. Tlios. L. Crittenden, late of tho
Hailed States army, has boon appointed
State Treasurer of Kentucky. At tbo
election in August last, the candidates
ware Messrs. Garrard and Neale; the
former received a very small majority of
the vole of tbe SlBte, but diod just about
the time of the election. Gov. Uramlotte
nominated Mr. Nealefor tho position, but
the Senate rofasod to confirm the nomina
tion. Ho then nominated Gen. Critten
den, and tho Senate confirmed tho ap
pointment with only one dissentient.
A telegraphic cable has been laid across

Tb* Naw Ja*B*TS«iiATnHsnif.—The
Judiciary I'utmr.illve ot the tfiunato, in
ihoir n-port suiuinio^; the lega.itjr of the
H'*n. John 1*. Stockton's election as Sen
ator from New Jersnjr, find no question
to eXHminn except tbnt furnislieu bj the
fnct that n plurality, iniiead of a tUMior-
ity over alt. voted for him at th» joint
meeting. They find further, such fart to
no impediment, if accomplished by
authority of law, as in the caie of uiaoy,
pel haps s minority, otihe members of the
National lloiue of Kopreeciiuuvcs. In
this case the Constitution of New Jersey
makes a joint meeliug a i**ui*laluro in
itrolf, and whilethe laws of that bUte sr«
silent upon the subject of a plurality
election, they do not authorize the elec-
lion of Senator* by a joint nu*eiin*f, who*-
uniiorm praciit o since the foundatiou of
tl e Govarunient, has been to prescribe its
own rule*, by which at one time a inn lor-
ity over all would Le required to elect, at
another a majority of tLaoe present, and
at another oiecii m, l»y acctarualion. The
conclusion ir, ther.-fure, that the meeting
bad a right ti> proscribe the rulo under
which it acted, and that ha was elected
not simply hy the will of those who vuted
for him, but by the will of tbe Joint meet
inx which made the rule.

"Wo bavo no further reports from tb

Fn-ro tbe Galveston Civilian we take
the following:
"El Zaragoea, the new Libersl Mexi

Sumner introduced the following joint
resolution for carrying o*t (he gnarantew
<>l • republican pirm of goveromant as
lu-ovided by the Constitution of the Uni

tional amendment for the prohibition of
slavery :
W bores*, U ia provided In the Consti
tution of tun United Stairs that it eball
guarantee to every Stale ip the Union a
republican form of government; and,
whereas, by reason of the fsilue of certain
States to maintain governments which
Congress can recognize, it has become the
duty uftlie United States, standing in the
plate of guarantee where ia tbo principle
nai made a lapse, to aocure to such States,
according to tbo terms of guarantee, a
government, republican I* form; and.
whereas, it is fu-ther provided by tbe con-
alitutional amendment that Congress may
,<-nf- rce the prohibilloa of slavery by ap
propriate legislation, and it is important
to tins end that slavery should be remov
ed by removing all distinctive on account
of color. Now, therefore, to carry out the
Jegrovs of a republican form of govern
ment, anil to enforce tbe prohibition of
shivery, ,
Be it resolved by tbv Senate and House
of K -prescnlative*, That in all Sla v* late
ly declared Vo be in rebellion there shell
be no oligarchy ar stoomey »r moaopoly
invested with peculiar privileges and
