If this be so It Is certainly but Just to "hold th© company to such part of the contract cis is Yavorublc to the publtb. WhU tlb© (ftatn has rolinqulshod her right of taxa-’.im over Che nxd, and its nppurtcnancet, the company tui© ex pressly agreed, on Its part, that a mu- nlcipid or other corporation may tax my -property, real or personal, of said company, wit-hfn its jurlsdloHon, In the ratio of taxation of like property, Now, It Is urged that this provision Ortly subjects to municipal taxation sixth property us -the company mtay have purchased In payment of debts, and th»* like. avhKdi are not appurte- n mr to ttie road, vusl (that this view is strengthened by ui» inhtidtkm to tux Iho Mt.H-k «»r the company, which 1: is tBststcd todKttdea the road and its np- purtenanots.

Trestlo* the chsrtsr as * contract and admitting, for the purpose* of this rase, that tho state nr<y, by such contract, re linquish her power of taxation, it follows under h fair and just construction of the contract, that the state may tax a!1 prop erty of the company, except the- road and Its appurtenances, and may authorize the counties, or other municipalities, througn which the road runs to tax any and all property of the road, including the road' bed, which la real property, as well ns any personal propety it may have. In any such county in tho same ratio with other real or personal property in the count); that la, If other real or personal property la taxed tt certain per cent, ad •valorem, the property of this company is subject to a like per cent, ad valorem, or if the tax on other property be speclfilc, the like M*ecme tax may be imposed on the prop erty of the company. But while I have no doubt of the power of the legislature to authorize the coun ties and other municipal corporations through which tho road runs to Impose such a tax, tne question arises in this case-whet her that power has been exer cise© as-to any part of the property of the company not subject to a state tax. And I am satisfied, after looking into the < iv carefully, that th*: legislature )* is not conferred any such authority on the county of UIbb or any other county. The county is only authorized to levy a per cent, on the state tax. Now, as the state is not authorized to levy a tax on the road or Its appurtenances in Bibb county, tod none such has been levied, there Is no state tAX upon which the county can asset's a per cent. If the legislature should at any time confer the authority upon the county to assess a tax upon the property of the company within lta lim its. it will be necessary to provide some Hi'* !*- of urw-rslng ;in*l rnllw-tlng It ..t: r than the present mode of levying a per cent upon the state tax. While tho intervenora only claimed in their pelltlon taxes for the year 1851, the ruling of tho court authorizes the levy of all taxes that may be due the counties and townn named In the petition since tho date of tho case In point. The ag gregate amount of taxes for the four years, should the claimants Intervene, would amount to more than 9100,000. DR. STABLER, Specialist, EYE, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT.

Three Kegroes Attempt the Assasei* nation of Hotorman Lee Wiiliama. THEY GOT THEIE HEADS CBACKED Tbs ffsgroaa After Rid lag Boms Distance Refused to t*ajr sad Shot at Wil liams, Who Knocked Them Off th* Platform, Late yesrterday afternoon three drunken negroes attempted to Odfilctate Motortmftn Lee Williams, who is em ployed by ike Metropolitan street railway and runs on the Metropolitan line. It was about 6:30 o’clock In tfve af ternoon and the coir, which hud left Cherry street With a Carge number of passengers, haJd almost reached BeflJe- vue. Th© ipUAsengers by ones and twos had loft •tsho car as their (homes were reached, until the car was almost empty. SaveraH negroes, who gave evi dence of being -considerably the worse for liquor, were on the platform. They hay flailed ito pay their faxes, and the -motorm.tn, who to also the conductor, had xepeaedly instructed them to de posit thClr fare In the box. The negroes appeared to be wiling to do this, but delayed dod-irg so for some ridiculous reasons which only a drunken man wouM ndvunlce. (Mr. WKltams, tlie motorma, thought nothing of this, however, and only urged .them to hur ry up. TMb was white the car -was yet near the business portion of the city, blit after the oar hod almost gone the enftSre distance, the passengers had one by one left, the car, the motorman told the negroes thait 'they would either have to -pay their fares or get off and walk. It was then -that they became insolent and spoke to the irtotorman in a -most insulting manner. They posi tively refused to /pay -their way and defied him to put them off, saying that there were three of /them and only one of him, and they guessed ”if anybody got put off it would/ bq Mr. Motor- man.” Mr. WJlOfams Is nolt made of the kind of stuff to endure this sort of treat ment alt 'the (hands of drunken negroes. He brought the car to a stop and com- roandd -the three -negro men «to “get off and not t»e Cong Uibout ft, either.” Th'e negroes refused to move and one of them at least <lrw‘a pistol and fired at the motorman. The aim was bffld, however, nnd Mr. •'Williams escaped unhurt. Two other Cherts were fired by the desperate negroes, and Mr. ■Will iams seized the controller and began hammering them over their heads af ter first turning on the electricity and suiting he car. Th© fas -two ghots were fired after the ©nr bad been put in mo tion and while Mr. Williams was ham mering hto antagonists over -their heads. The negroes were soon knicked off and the ©or proaedded to the termi nus and was brought ba*ck -to th city by the plucky motorman. On arriving In the efty -Mr. Wlttfoms recited what (had o*oourred and askM to b© Tellevrid flor the remainder of the night. An other motoirmon was pult on as a sub stitute, while M<r. WjHkums went to h!k home unhurt and congmitulating himself on -his narrow escape. The "oontroKer” which Mr. WUHams used tto such effect w-as almost covered with blood from tho wounds inflicted on 1he heads of the negroes; white' Mr. Williams’ clotheo are pretty freely sprinkled with the earn© gore. It is, therefore, safe 'to tny that the negroes dtd not escape unhurt. Mr. Williams says -he does not know the negro**?, but thinks Ifhcy am be easilv identified by the'tr u-ounds -when ftPttTW.
