COLUMBUS: Wedneaday Morning, Feb. 7, 1866. 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. ■Section 1. The General Assembly of the Blale of Georgia do enact, That from and after tbe passage of thit act the rats for the transportation of all freights over the sevoral raiIrosds of this Hlile shall not exceed tho amount or cumpanaatlon Used by the first proviso of the lfiti, taction of the act estuaied to D>cembor the nisi, 1888, entitled sn act 10 incorporate tbe Georgia Railroad Gompany. Bee. 2. He it further enacted. That the rate* of pwiengee travel shall he thsfsamo at fixed in the aforesaid pronto, and that no railroad company ahatl charge or col-, lect any storage for goods, wares or iner- chandi.e left at tneir several depots for shipment, nr for delivery In the consignees or owners thereof, unload the same baaaut been called for ip the space ot ten dnys of the arrival ot the seme, and no storage shall be charged or collect, it On any arti cles delivered for shipment at tho dtp t receiving tho same. Bee, 8. lie it further enacted, That no railroad oouipany shall form, or lease, or let out any part of their cars or road to any pereons ur corporation, to defeat the provisions of the foregoing section of this •ot ■* Bee. 4. Be Itlurlher onacted, That when any railroad company of thit State vio lates any of the provisions of this eel, its president, directors, general superintends cut, as wall as any of its officers or agents so offending, shall bo deemed and held e uilty of a high misdemeanor, and eball 9 subject to indictment in the Superior Court of any county having juiisdicllou thereof, and upon conviction shall he lined each in e sum not exceeding two thousand doltnra, and shall each be Im prisoned In the common jail of the county for a term not nxceoding twelve months, at Ilia diaorelion of the couifj provided that nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to prevent any injured party from proceeding against any of said rail road companies In aa action for damages, 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. The foot shows the vtlue which is to be 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.
