THE PROPUSE? EXTENSION UP THE OIIA11L.OTTB II Ml.KO vi). Tho loading idea of tho early Stato Legislatures of South Car ol i na o i tho subject of railways, wan to establish communications'with Uie groat West. Tho pr?sent "South Carolina llailroad" is tbo re? alization of tltis idea to tho Stato Uno of Ooorgia. It is equally apparent that tho publie mind looked forward to tho period when, from this parent stem, a ii et-work of railroads would spring up to all points ba thia' 8 ta to as wcU, which would furnish couvoniont trausportati -n, and thuB draw to tho metr?polis of South Carolina tho commoron of half a dosea prosperous States, and build up our city into tho leading exporting and importing seaport of tbo Bon th Allan ti; coast, and, through tho agency of such a oommaroial con tm as Charleston, tro would bein a position to furnish mater ml aid to all of our pooplo, from tho ooaboard to tho moun? tains. To accomplish thoso high aims, both tho Stato ot South Carolina and tho City of Charleston havo lavishly contributed of their lili ans. Money and endorsements to tho extent of millions of do liars have. been freely furnished, not only to reads in our own Stato, but to a number of other connect? ing roads boyond .our borden), which, it WBS ox pocted, would act ns auxiliaries to tho commorco of thia city. ' Upon.tho Buccosaful accomplish mont of thoso eiida d?pendu, not only tho prosperity of tho South CaroUna RaUroad Company, but, dis? guise it ia wo may, tho commerce aud tho welfare of both-City And State aro largolj at stako; and it ia to I prcoorvo and protect thcao vital interests that tito South- Carolina llailroad Company invokes tho aid of tho Courts to restrain a palpable Infringe? ment of its charter, and to prove nt tbo vt eal; h ot tho State from going towards building up distant pointe.. Tho State of Georgia wields every influon"o at her command in the intel oat of her seaports; anu our elater State of North CaroUna bu H thought it to ber interest to build nor railroads with a different guage, BO that ovcry pound of freight, other than to her own p >rts, ciuat break bulk at hor borders. Who are tho parties who aak for a froo pasaago across our State, and who net nally, by adroit man? agement, induced the Legislature of South CaroU? na to promiao to pay them for destroying our well understood plans of internal improvements? Thoso Tory nolghbora of oura, who legislato against us ?with their narrow guage roads. Our commercial readers aro ?waro that, for moro tlian a year peat, the groat effort of tho Charlotte nnd Columbia Railroad has been to divert trude from il? usual ch anne) to Charleston, and to carry it to Now York. Every bale of cotton transported along that road to Charlotte, and the nco to Now York, has been so much of tho life-blood of com? ea oreo diverted from Charleston. Was it to efl oct this object, to buOd up New York at the expense of Charleston, td foster tho railroad i and soaporta of North Carolina at tho sacrifice of tho interests of its own roads, that tho Stabs subscribed to the Charlotte and Columbia Railroad ? If we correct? ly romomber the oircumBtancea, tho appeal lo the State and to tho city of Charleston for aid to tho Charlotte and Columbia Railroad, was bas od upon tho nssertionu that tho road would contribute to the prosperity of Charleston; and tho eloquent gentleman from Charlotte, who addressed our citi? zens an.that subject, not only.aaaortod, hut de? monstrated that tho receipts of cotton at tho port of Charleston would he nearly doubled by the con ?truo.tion.of thin road. , Their appeals wore con? vincing, and the Slate and city subscribed. What ia the .result ? The road completed by their effort* is used to divert trade to and through North Caro? lina, and to destroy tho \ cry iniereste, tho protec? tion and advancement of whioh wero tho objecta of ita rona true lion.. It may bo boyond. our power .to romcdy 'tl.at oviL The road is built and chartered, and wo cannot impair ita right or control ita ope? rations. ' But it how seeks to become a still moro potent enemy, lt seeks an ally in tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad, which, built by its ofTorts und Olli cured by its iVesident, is hardly eo much au independent road as a branch or continuation of the Charlotte and Columbia road from Columbia to Augusto.' No moro fatal blow could bo givon to Charleston and tho State than by tho construction of this road. No ona acquainted with tho re? sources of tho country through whioh it posees wUl entertain for a moment the idea that any local trafilo or development of internal resources is an? ticipated. Ila polo object i's fo connect Augusta with einmotte, yj. j , '?i Names oro things, and had tho road been on titled n| .rood from Gharlotto to Augusta, tho truo acopoo?tho mea?ncc. would havo boen manifest and tho bill would havo boon defeated. But tho KU who engineered tho work woro. ton astute to ex? press openly tho real object ot tho bill. Tho road was first chartered as tho Columbia and Hamburg Road, fifteen years ago. Subsequently ita title wasehangod to the " Columbia and Augusta Rail? road," and it was authorized to orosu the Savan? nah River! thou by another and final amendment, it was auttioriied to connect the Charlotte and Columbia Railroad iciih the Georgia Railroad, By successive steps it bad now (1663) roached lust position, which had boon kopt steadily in view from the outaot, and so adroitly had it boon managed that neither waa suspicion excited nor alarm given. Looking back upon tho action of tho State L?g? islature, it ia c. matter ot surpriao and regret, that tho Charleston delegation had not perceived the tendency, of tho bli],'and tho dangers whioh threatened the most Important interests of this city from its pasaago. Had the attention of the Legislature been called to it, we do not boUovo that the bill ovor could have passed, but unfortunately U teat overlooked, tho bill quietly passod, -and tho only possible modo in whioh the danger can bo averted, is by testing the constitutionality bf ibo oct chartering it. The proceedings which the South Carolina Rail? road Company, has initiated are of course primarily for its own benefit. It is not willing, nor could it with any propriety permit its resources lo bo di? minished, or its trafilo diverted without 'testing the rights or tho proposed Columbia and Augusta Road I j defending, then, its own interests, it bat? tle? at tho aame timo for tho well-known policy of ti's! .-JO and elly;'and even in those almost hope I'JM Ernes', of prostration and depression of pnbUo spirit, its officers are mindful of the exportations' of the groat mon.who, nudor protracted diffloultloe in tho past, have worked out its career of tisofni? ?eas to both tbo State and the olty, and who wiD not bo deterred from at least an earnest effort to realizo thoso hopes iu tiie ne di ?tant futuro, hy? the mischievous schemes of thoso who, lt may bo, liave no South Carolina to live for-no aspiro,Hons for the fu tur? bf old Charleston. '' . . But it is contended that tho South Carolina Railroad Company should havo acted more prompt 0 ly In contenting thia right of thc Charlotte Bail road ox tension. . Wo must not forget that this proposed railroad was chartered in 1859, end,that for nearly ten years lt bad slept so quietly as to fail to excito in tho breasts of Ila friends or ita enemies tho'slightest hopes or tho faintest ap? prehensions nf Ita construction ;. and. when, In 1603, it waa again revived,'with faint prospocts of 1 establishment at a military road, tho utter bopo Iceanoualof any ofToitto import iron or material for it? oonatrucUon rcUeved tho movemont of tho ? .lightest claim to suivit anl tal reapoct or at Um tion.

It is contended by tho Defendants that tho con-, struction shall be most liberally for tho grantor aud moat i. lr ictly against tho grantoo, and that tho rules of construction applicable to monopolios shall apply. But this is not a monopoly. A-monopoly is do? nned to bo " an exclusivo right granted to a few of s. mu ?thing which was be foro of common right.'' It cannot ho said tli.it tho,right to con atmet Rail? roads ever was bf common right, or that tho grant of this privilogo to tho Complainants, divested any citizon o? a right previously enjoyed by bim. Even if a monopoly, tho question is not between tho monopoly and tho citizens, but bolwcon ono mo? nopoly and another, for both those corporations oxist hy virtuo of tho samo pow e r. lu mses ot Royal Grouts, where confoascdly tho construction Waa always most striot against tho graute o, tho intent prevailed, and tho grant was not limited simply to what was specifically grant? ed, but included all that was necessary to tho on jo unen t ot tho thing, granted.

Tho original design of the Lcgialaturo aa ex? pressed in tho ant of 1827, incorporating tho Canal and Railroad Company, was for " tho construction of a Railroad or a canal, pr a Railroad and Canal from tho city of Charleston on tho pipet practicable routes to each of tho towns of Columbia, Camdon and Hamburg." This was modified by tho act ol 1828. which directed tho construction of a Railroad 10 Hamburg, with " brauohea thoreof to Colum? bia aud Camden." Tho act of 1828 dh) not pro? hibit iudepoudont and direct roads from Quarks, ton to Columbia and Camdon.
