Gun. Toombs* having anything to do
with thcfdcfcat of Senator Brown's
’donation.” After* the Legislature
had acted upon the bill for the ‘’con
summation’’ of the “gift,*' Gen.
Toombs, who was at the time in
Washington City, sent a postal card to
Mr. Reese, of his own county (Wilkes)
congratulating him nnd those who
voted with him upon the result. This
he certainly had the right to do as a
Georgian. We think we know
whereof wc speak when wc say
that all the lobbying that waa
done on this bill was by Govornor
Brown's friends or those who favoied
the measure. The Danner- Watch
man is also under a misapprehension
when it states the gift was declined
through a “spirit of vindictiveness.’’
It was declined because a majority of
t.ie Lcgiidatute were opposed to set
ting up a family aristocracy in con
nection with the Sute University, or
to selling a superior position or rela
tionship toward that Institution for fif
ty thousand dollars or any other
amount.
Senator Harrison says Congress
should not adjourn over the Christ

IIow senselessly foreign this plum
pudding and yule log business sounds
to all Americans. And still the aver
age American writer cannot manage to
get up a decent Christmas article dr
even casually mention the Christmas
holidays without bringing iii these old
relics of ancient England. We doubt
if a single member of our present
Congress ever heard a (,'hristmas carol
or saw a vulo-Iog. To be American
one should write ol turkeys, egg nog,

One of the United States Commis

but the reaults are very little, and he
cannot fccc that much has been accom

the stigma cast upon them.
Rev. W. W. Hicks, pastor of the

The Tariff I’roMem.
When the tariff commission has

the right to have a public toll bridge
by reason of the ownership of the laud
oil each side of the river, as before
stated. There has been some litigation
in the courts relative to the ferry, and
to tho forfeiture of Ills charter; but
that litigation not affecting the matter
submitted to us, wo deem it nnneessary
to refer to it further.
’file above and foregoing fuels con
stitute the claims of Col. Tilt to have
and to keep a toll bridge nt Albany, to
the exclusion of any one else, on the
land owned by Idin, and hence those
claims have been the subject «f our
investigation.
First—We find the law to l»e tliat the
owner of the land on each side of a
stream lias no right to liave a public
toll bridge as an appurtenant to the
soil; but before lie can have one law
fully be must cither get a chatter from
the State, or a license from the Ordinary
of the county or the couuty commis
sioners, as no citizen of the State lias
the right to a toll bridge without Unit
obtaining the franchise trom the State,
where It resides by the reserved right
of eminent domain.
Second—Tliat under the charier
granted by the State In 1852 to Col.
lift the rates of toll for crossing the
bridge arc limited to those charged by
Macon or Columbus bridges at tliat
time. Those bridges were then pro
hibited from charging foot passengers
or for vehicles going to market with
agricultural products or returning
therefrom, lienee by his charter Col.
lift is restricted in the same manner,
and cannot lawfully charge for crossing
his bridge any foot passenger or vehicle
carrying such agricultural products to
Albany, or in returning therefrom,
’fids charter Iwing a ••ontract between
Col. lift and the public is binding upon
liotli and cannot 1*: set aside by one
party without the consent of the other,
only by a proceeding in the Superior
Court of the county at the suit of the
State. In other words It cannot In?
voluntarily aliandoneil by Col. Tift or
the State until surrendered by him am)
accepted by the State, or Ids charter
forfeited by a judgment of said court
upon some legal grounds pointed out in
the law. Both parties are hound by it
and can lie compelled by law to com
ply with Its terms, and when there Is a
valid charter, as this one now Is, the
owner thereof cannot abandon It or
evade its obligations by claiming the
right to a toll bridge by reason of being
the owner of the soil. So Ordinary or
countv authorities eaii grant a license
i*toll bridge w hen one exists by
charter. If Col. Tift’s charter w as for
feited by a proper judgment or court,
or had liecn si;rkkni>krki» to, ani» ac
cepted bv, the State, then, and then
onlv could the county is*nc a license
to build a toll bridue upon the lands
of Col. Tift in tin* immediate vicinity
of Ids bridge, but Ids dinner being in
full fonV. for and against him, they
can compell him lo comply with its
terms.
Should his charter lie forfeited or sur
rendered ami accepted, then the county
authorities can regulate the toll to la:
taken l»y him from llic public for cross
ing, as well as what shall |«ss free.
The county authorities have undoubt
edly the right to erect and keep up a
free bridge anywhere on the lands of
Col. Tift or any one else by first pay
ing just compensation for the same,
the amount of that conqieusatioii to la*
estimated by what the laud may be
worth for any other purpose, whether
for farming,* manufacturing, for a
bridge or ferry site, as well as the dam
age a free bridge might do to Ids pres
ent bridge as limited by Ids charter,
either in destroying its Income as weli
as rendering the bridge itself valueless,
>• other damage it might lie to
