THE SEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS JAd. WATT HARRIS uad SAll’L H. SMITH Editors and Proprietors. CARTBRBVILLE, QA., MCII. 7th. 1871. 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. Col. -Cary W. Btiles, of Albany, and Editor of the News, is a candidate for Clerk of the House of Representatives. He is well qualified for the post. Ben Hill denies that he is to succeed Akermam The Savannah News proposes Ist of May as the time, aud Savannah as the place, for a festive gathering of the Georgia Editors. The suggestion is a good one. 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. Editorial Miscellany. Guns were invented in the 15th ceotury. The Express system origi nated in 1839. It is estimated that 250,000 bales of cotton, worth $20,000,000, will be lost this year for want of labor to gather them. Willis S. Holstead, ex-Mayor of Co lumbus, is dead. The Columbus Enquirer says, “that the Columbus Merchants «re not or dering as heavily as usual for the ap proaching Spring and Summer trade, the impression being that the dullest Summer since the war is now before us.* The next State Annual Fair will be held at the city ®f Macon. The Federal Spy bill, has passed both homes of Congress, and Grant will be weak enough and mean enough to give it his signature, and make it the law. What a miserable spectacle is now presented to the world, of a great Government stooping to such despicable means to tyranize over a portion of the people. Poor Con gress ! Poor Government! Poor Grant! The Pigeon Roost Company mining property, near Dahlonega, has been sold at Sheriff’s sale. The Atlanta Constitution states that a deranged man, from Milton was seen on the streets, claiming that a superior Power had changed the name of Atlanta to Sodom, and that that Power had sent him there to re form the place. Deranged or not, we wish the fellow success in his mission. Said a little four year old, “Mother, Father won’t be in heaven with us will he ?” “Why my child ?” “Because he can’t leave the Store.” There is a coal panic in New York. It has gone up to $12,50, and is very scarce, and the poor are suffering.— The papers say it results from a com bination between the Railroad and the coal-pit proprietors. High Tariff Bos ton is clamoring for free trade in coal. The place in Gwinnett county, for merly known as Hovrel’s Cross Roads, will henceforth be known as ‘Duluth,’ deriving its name from the town made famous by the speech of Hon. Proctor Knott. It is 20 miles from Atlanta on the Air Line Railroad. Carpet-baggers are said to be at a discount in Washing ton. Elias Bowman died lately in Penn sylvania. He measured five feet two inches, and weighed four hundred pounds, was fifty years of age, and was as broad as he was long. Fresh slaked lime in a fine, dry pow der, sprinkled over hogs while eating, until the hair is filled with the lime, has been successful m curing hog chol era, whenever tried. Three things which caunot be kept secret—Love, the tooth-aehe and tight shoes. Yea can't eat pnoiigh in one week to last a whole year, and you can’t ad vertise on that plan either. The following is the conclusion of an epitaph cn a tombstone, in East Ten nessee: “She lived a life of virtue, died of the cholera morbus, caused by eating green fruit in the full hope of a blessed immortally, at the early age of 21 years, 7 months and 16 days.— Reader, go thou and do likewise.” Some very fine coal mines have been discovered at the head of Sweeten’s Cove, in Franklin co. We are indebted to Hon. P. M. B. Young for Congressional Documents. Senator Revels, (colored) from Miss., a member on the Committee of the Diet, of Columbia, is opposed to mixed schools, l>elieving that it won’t do to compel this nungiic g of, the whites and blacks. The Arabs called to testify against a thief in New York, said they were Mo hammedans, but n ere willing to be sworn on the B ible, “as there is but one God, religion makes no difference. ■ .t ' • Gov. Brown, in a letter published in the True Georgian , pronounces the statement made in the Augusta Chron icle <6 Senlind, that one full share o the Brown Lease Stock in the Western & Atlantic R ulroad is owned by Bul lock, though nominally put down to another and held by him for Bullock, ‘ a fabrication and an unmitigated false hood, as a whole, and in all parts in detail;” and denies that “Gov. Bullock has one dollar of interest in the lease of the State Road, as a shareholder or otherwise, in any way, direct or re mote, vested or contingent, except the interest he has in common with eveiy other citizen of Georgia. The Editor ot the Telegraph & Mes senger says, “we enjoyed, yesterday, our first dish of peas, this season.”— They were brought to Macon from Florida. We are just planting them in this region.
