Cfn<>tiijimtl Railroad Bill.
We took occasion, in a preceding is
fiie, to express our unqualified opposi
tion to the effort now being made by
tlm Trustees of this Road to carry
their point, by Congressional interfer
ence, or rather to the exercise by
Congress of any such power in the
premises. Since that time we have
seen but one expression of the Demo
cratic Press upon the subject, and that
of determined hostility to any interfer
ence, whatever, on the part of the
Government. There is but one senti
ment, we believe, in this State, with
the Pres3, with one exception, (at
which we were surprised, and regret,)
and so far ai the expression of any
private opinion on the subject is con
cerned it is almost altogether in the
same direction. All, without excep
tion are iu favor of building the road,
believing that it will prove vastly ben
eficial, in many important particulars,
to the whole State of Georgia, and
especially to her large commercial
towns and cities, and will be the
means of greatly accelerating the de
velopmen4 of our material resources,
while it will give us cheaper markets
and easier and more direct access to
the Great West. They regret the
failure of the Bill in the Kentucky
Legislature, and offer many reasons
why it should be done, but true to the
political teachings and doctrines of the
past, they are altogether averse to the
assumption of any such power on the
part of Congress. We have been
gratified at this evidence of so very
general and determined an adherence
to the principles underlying the Dem
ocratic Party of the Union, and which
have never been disavowed since the
daj r 3 of Old Hickory, from the fact
that we declared our hostility to the
scheme in advauee of any knowledge
of the course which other papers might
take, and the more especially that the
position taken by us, is maintained by
tho older and abler organs of the Par
ty in the State.
It is known to our readers that when
upon the application of the Cincinnati
Railroad Company, to the Kentucky
Legislature for a right of way over
Kentucky territory, that right was re
fused, the Trustees of that road me
morial‘zed Congress upon the subject,
and sought to obtain from the power
ful dictation of the Government of the
United States, what was denied them
by a sovereign State, and broadly take
position that the Congress has Ihe
right to authorize the building of a
road for the benefit of a private corpo
ration, jppon its own terms across the
territory of a State, and against the
will of the State, when neither the
Company nor Ihe Government have
one shadow of titfie to the territory
sought to be occupied. There is no
plea that it is to be done by the Gov
ernment for Governmental purposes or
National uses, but simply this, shall
Congress take the property of a sover
eign State, and give it absolutely and
forever to a private Company of men
upon their mere request —in direct op
position to the declared will of the
State. That our readers may tho bet
tor understand the views of this rail
road Company, we a[ pend the follow
ing:
The Memoi'iai of ihe Trustees of tfie Cin
cinnati Southern Railroad to Con
yrees.
Washington, February 16,1871.
To the Hon Z. Chandler, Chairman of the com
mittee of Commerce, United States Senate:
The undersigned trustess of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway respectfully submit the
following reasons why Senate bill No. 1.330
shold be passed:
The act presents the naked question *fthe
Constitutional power of the United States to
authorize the building of a railroad across
the State of Kentucky.
There every security for private rights
in this bill that is contained in any railroad
law of any State.
There is every facility in favor of the safe
ty of persons and property, and for the rap
id transit at low rates as is contained in any
general railroad law.
The means for the construciion of this
railroad are already secured. Any taxes to
be levied have been assumed by the volunta
ry and almost unanimous vote of the city of
Cincinnati.
The construction of the road will be of un
questioned benefit to the whoie region tra
versed. It is demanded and authorized by
the States north and south of Kentucky, and
by every county of Kentucky traversed by
it.
It does not impair any vested rights
granted by Kentucky, for it passes through
a region almost destitute of railroad facili
ties —mueh of it mountainous and difficult
of construction —and will not affect the
freight or travel of existing roads.
In ibis respeet it is different from other
roads proposed to fee authorized by Con
gress.
It reserves to the State of Kentucky her
full right of taxation, aud its full jurisdic
tion and power, except’only that in suits in
volving the question of the Constiiutional
validity of this act, it provides the usual
mode for their transfer to the courts of the
United States.
This bill has been sanctioned by the pop
ular branch of the Legislature of Kentucky,
and only defeated by the vote of the Senate.
The opposition to it is solely based—l.
I pon the local interests of the city of Louis*
ville. 2 By impracticable local grants
which will secure a road, but seek to become
barnacles to the plan. 3. By local and sec
tional jealousies, the debris of the late war.
The only power asserted by this bill is
the power to appropriate private property
for public use, with the fullest and fairest
provision for compensation.
It is conceded that the construction of
this work will promote our commerce
among the States, establish an important
post route, and aid in transporting military
and postal supplies.
In reply to the suggestion that there are
charters in Kentucky under which the road
can be built through that State, we say—l.
There is no charter which commences at
Cincinnati under which a bridge over the
Ohio can be built.
2. That charters which have been hereto
fore granted tj joint stock companies are
for detached sections, each dependent on
itself for the means of prosecution, and not
for a continuous connected through line un
der one ownership and management, which
is essential to the success of the enterprise,
on account of the mountain barrier,»some
eighty miles in width, lying partly in Ken
tucky and Tennessee.
As to the probability of the Senate of
Kentucky being changed by anew election
in August next, we have no hope of it, as the
Senators to be elected come from those dis
tricts whose Representatives voted at the
last and present session of the Kentucky As
sembly against the grant of the right of way.
These districts are remote from the portion
of the State to be benefited, and there are
political and other reasons why this ques
tion cannot be made a test.
The history of railroads in this country
shows that no great work like this, some
three hundred and foity miles long, has
been accomplished by private capital. It
was in great part by the public money of
Pennsylvania, and the cities of Philadelphia,
Harrisburg and Pittsburg, in the case of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad ; and by
that of the State of Maryland and Baltimore
in the case of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, that those great undertakings were
able to overcome the mountain barriers in
terposing between the East and the West;
and it is only by similar means that the
mountain district, and the great rivers sepa
rating the West from the South, can be
bridged over. Under the Constitution of
Ohio, the city of Cincinnati cannot become
a stockholder in any joint stock or private
comprny. But she can construct any work
that will conduee to her inlerests. She has
undertaken to furnish the capital for the
entire railwyy between herself and Chattan
ooga, having already expended $40,000 in
preliminary surveys, and only asksjhe grant
of the right of way, under such restrictions
as are usual and proper in such cases.
Respectfully submitted,
Miles Greenwood,
R. M. Bishop,
Phillip lleidblbabk,
Wm. Hooper,
E. A. Ferguson,
Trustees Cincinnti Southern Railway.
It will be observed by the careful
reader of the above memorial, that not
the first, solitary reason is advanced
going to show that Congress has the
Constitutional right to exercise any
such power as is here demanded.—
They frankly admit that the act pre
sents the naked question of the Consti
tutional power of Congress to author
ize the building of the road; and
after setting forth the great advan
tages that the road will give to the
country at large, the convenience it
may pro\e to the Government itself*
and that -Cincinnati has undertaken
to furnish the entire capital for »the
construction of the whole road, the
very general interest which is felt up
on the subject, both in and out of that
city, in Kentucky, and in the South;
it shows upon its very face that it is
all done in the interest and for the
benefit of that city itself, and the
stockholders in the road; avows and
acknowledges the fact, that the con
stituted law-making and sovereign
power of the State of Kentucky will
never accord them the right —and
therefore they ask Congress to do for
them, what Kentucky says with her
consent, never shall be done. A more
audacious and impudent act, we ven
ture the assertion, has never before
challenged the attention of the Ameri
can people. Aud yet, in the face of
the prior action of the Government
upon 'kindred questions which have
hitherto come before Congress, and
which, we suppose, would have driven
this presumptuous memorial indignant
ly from the Capitol, it has found favor
with the House of Representatives,
and Las already passed that body by
a vote of 131 to 62, and possibly, be
fore we go to press, it may have also
passed the Senate.
There is no abler man in Congress
than the Hon. Jas. B, Beck, of Ken
tucky—representing the Lexington
district. This gentleman, personally,
is warmly in favor of the building of
this road and deeply regrets the action
of his State in denying the right, and
regards that denial as a great public
calamity at present, because it precip
itates upon Congress the question of
Federal power and jurisdiction. In
reply to memorialists from his own
district in favor of this project he re
grets that Democrats should be found
urging Congressional action and says:
“I can readily understand how Re
publicans can do so, as I ob
serve they have done largely in
the m-eraorials forwarded
to me; they believe that a strong Cen
tralized, Consolidated National Gov
ernment is not only consistent with
Republican liberty, but is the great
safeguard against the improper or un
wise actien of the States, even in the
matters pertaining to the domestic af
fairs of the States, and teey are there
fore willing to call in its aid, whenever
the State fails, in their opinion, to do
what they think it ought to on any
subject.
“It was this theory of Government
that premised the passage of the Freed
man’s Bureau and Civil Rights Bills,
the Reconstruction Acts, the various
Amendments to the Constitution, and
the acts to enforce them, with the op
eration of which you are all familiar.
A Bill has recently passed the House
of Representatfves, (and also the Sen
ate and is now a law,) placing the elec
tion of members of Congress in all the
large cities at least, under the abso
lute control of the Federal Athorities,
thus ignoring the right of the State to
elect their own Representatives, and
virtually making the civil authorities
subordinate to the Federal military
power in time of peace.” After refer
ing to various other odious sectional
bills intended to operate grievously
upon the Southern States, unjust, par
tial and tyranical, and he adds, “which,
while well adapted to the. arbitrary,
despotic, personal Governments of Eu
rope, are at war with, and, in my opin
ion, utterly subversive of every thing
like State Rights and Republican lib
erty,” he says “the most dangerous
encroachments on liberty are thus
made under the most specious pretext
es. The case you now advocate is a
good illustration, aud the dominant
majority in Congress will, I fear, not
be slow to take advantage of your per
haps just indignation at the failure of
our State Legislature, and establish
their jurisdiction over the Railroad
System of the country on the assump
tion that they are correcting a wrong
done by our State authorities.” But
we cannot follow him farther in his
very able letter, simply remarking that
he informs his constituents that he has
presented their memorial as request
ed, but declares that he will vote
against it, and that before he would do
otherwise he would resign his seat in
Congress, which he is ready to do if
they desired it.
But we have already too much ex
tended this subject, but cannot avoid
the introduction of the views so strong
ly and unanswerably presented by the
Editor of the Telegraph & Messenger,
with which we close our remarks :
*“lt is the highest exercise o f sover
eignty by aiiy government to divest an
owner of the soil of all right and title
to it, without his consent, and transfer
that title to another. This the bill does.
But it also does a good deal more. It
is an axiomatic proposition that there
can be but one sovereign or supreme
authority in any State or political com
munity. ” If, therefore, that sovereign
ty resides in the Federal Government
it necessarily cannot exist in the State;
which is too clear for dispute; but in
the case of this bill, the general Gov
ernment distinctly over-rides the refu
sal of the State of Kentucky to grant
the right of way, and directly denies
the sovereignty of the State over her
own territory.
If this bill, therefore, is constitution
al—if it is not a mere act of usurpation,
then it is demonstrable that no State
Government can pass a legal act of
railway incorporation. Two govern
ments endowed with Supreme power,
including the right of eminent domain,
cannot co-exist. If the Federal gov
ernment has this right then the State
has it not, ans, vice versa, if the State
has it, it cannot be exercised by the
Frderal Government
Here, too, is a claim of “exclusive
legislation” which the constitution for
bids to be exercised in the territory of
the States except by “consent of the
Legislature” thereof, and in this case
the consent has been refused. This
act excludes the Legislature from ju
risdiction over their own soil in the
most important matter appertaining to
it, to-wit: the right of otftiership and
transfer; and when we come to the
question, who is to give legal form and
effect to the exchange of titles under it?
we see still clearer the impossibility
that this act can be constitutional. —
The Federal Government has no ma
chinery or appliances to do it. The
titles must be transferred purely un
der State authority, and under the
laws and officers of Kentucky. The
Federal Government has no means of
doing it —po form of instniments to
meet the case —no officers—no place
of record. If Kentucky forbidg the
transfer her officers are amenable to
her—her archives are her own—the
Federal Government is wholy unpro
vided with the legal appliances to con
vey, quiet and establish titles.

The Senatorial term of Dr.
Miller will end on the 4th of March,
and Governor Bullock will be called
upon to appoint a successor, until a
Senator can be regularly elected by the
Legislature. It would be an act of
simple justice to Dr. Miller, and praise
worthy on the part of the Governor,
if he would give the appointment to
that gentleman, aud it would no doubt
be satisfactory to all parties. Several
Democratic papers in the State have
suggested the name of Col. W. K. De
gruffenreid, Esq., of Macon, for the
position, and should Gov. Bullock see
proper to give him the place it would
afford us sincere pleasure, having
known him long and well, and are sat
isfied that he would do credit to the
State. But we can hardly expect this
as Col. Degruffenreid is now, as he al
ways has been, a Democrat of the old
panel. We presume, however, that
Gov. Bullock will be pretty apt to do
as he pleases, maugre Democratic ad
vice or Democratic wishes.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public for the safe , certain, speedy and per

whether of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony t« the truth of the assertion, tthatln no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directlons'are strict
ly followed and ca*rled out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It. Is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use is continued In smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi

HAVE APPOINTED
X-,. V- Deforest & C?o. Jewelers,,
40 & 42 Broadway New York.
SOLE AGENTS FOR THE U. 8.
and have authorized them to sell their great
Eureka Aluminum Cold Watches for
Three Dollars, and to warrant each and
every one to keep correct time for one year.
This Watch we guarantee to be the best and
cheapest time-keeper that is now in use in
any part of the globe. The werks are in
double cases, Ladies’ and Gents’ size and are
beautifully chased. The cases are made of
the material bow so widely known in Eu
rope as the Alluminum Gold. It has theex
act color of Gold , which always retains; it
will stand the test of the strongest acids; no
one can tell it from Gold only by weight, the
Allmninum Gold being 1-16 lighter. The
works are made by machinery, same as tha
well-known American Watch. The Allumi
num is a cheap metal, hence we can afford
to sell the Watch for $3 and make a small
profit. We pack the Watch safely in a small
box and send it to any part of the U. 8. on
receipt of $3.50; fifty cents for packing and
postage. Address all orders to
