To which the President, "smiling aud happy," re? plied-"General, I heartily return your good wishes; I am delighted to see yon, General.'* And General Butler made the commonplace, bntnot infelicitous rejoinder-"Mr. President, I am equally delighted." Reporters Bay that these two remarkable men stood for some five minutes, thus intimately hooked together, "chatting and smiling like the oldest and oloBest friends;" and we are left to mourn that more of their touching interchange ot new made affection was not gossipped to the world. -Everybody in New York this year indulged | t in New Yearn calls, and unsteady walking was not uncommon on the streets.

The large hall where the convention of last July met is made a grand theatre, cap? able of seating three thousand persons. There | _? is a canteen or buffet on the second floor, where liquors, wines and dishes will be supplied. There is also a cafe on the second floor, cn tho style of Dehnonico's, except that fees are for? bidden the waiters. There is a Turkish divan, where coffee a Ia Turk is furnished by genuine Mussulmans, with chibouks and narghilchs. Below is the "cave," a barroom for the multi? tude.

The es? tablishment is unique in this country. -'S?preacher in a frontier seulement had been collecting money for some church ob? ject. There was still some twenty dollars wanting, and after vain efforts to make up the deficiency, he plainly intimated, as he locked the church door one day after service, that he intended to ha/e that said twenty dollars be? fore any of them left the house. At the same time he set the example by tossing five dollars * ] t on the table. Another put down a dollar, another a half of a dollar, another a quarter of a dollar and so on. The parson read ont every now and then the Btate of the funde : "Thar's seven and a half, my friends." "Thar's nine and a quarter." ' len and six bits are all that are in tbe hat, friends and Christian brothren." Slowly it mounted up. "Twelve and a half.'1 "Fourteen." "Fifteen." "Sixteen and three bits," and so on until it struck $19 50. "Ct only wants fifty cents, friends, to make up tho amount. Will nobody make it ap ?" Every? body had s ub6Cribed, and not a cent more was forthcoming. Silonco reigned, and how long it might havolasted it is difficult to say, had not a haifa dollar been passed through the open window, and a rough explanatory voice shouted: "Hero, parson, there is your money; let out my gal. I rm about tired of waitin' for her."_ CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY 7, 1869. Tiie South Carolina Railroad Company and the Columbia and Angosta Rail? road Company. Most parson* are aware that for more than two years the courts u. the State have been frequently invoked by the South Car? olina Railroad Company and the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, in relation to the rights claimed by the latter corporation in the course of the construction of its road from Columbia to Hamburg. Technical legal proceedings are of but little interest to the general public; but in the rroceed ings of which we speak, the principles in? volved are so important, and the develop? ments have been so startling, even to the mos: unprejudiced mind, that it has be? come a matter of consequence that the pub? lic should have in its possession a state? ment of the facts of the case, from its be? ginning up to the adjournment of the jury of assessment on Saturday last. The Columbia and Augusta Railroad was first incorporated in 1858, and in 18C3 its charter was amended by the General As? sembly. Under this amended charter the company was organized, and is still carried on. Work upon the road was begun, and iftcr this had progressed for some time thc Columbia and Augusta Railroad claimed the right to cross the track of the South Dardina Railroad at Columbia. Tho South karolina Railroad contested this right, and proceedings irv the courts of the Slate were ti onoe instituted. In these proceedings .wo leading questions were discussed. 1. ff hot her there could be the valid grant of i charter to the Columbia and Augusta Railroad; and 2. If there could be such a grant, whether a road might be built, under that grant, from Graniteville to Hamburg, rae Court of Errors, in deciding that the Columbia and Augusta Railroad had the right to cross the track of the South Caro ana Railroad near Columbia, decided also .hat the former company could connect, ->y railroad, the towns af Columbia and Hamburg. But in giving this decision, the seurt held that the privileges so given to :ho Columbia and Augusta Railroad were o be used with extraordinary care, and in subordination to the rights and privileges if the South Carolina Railroad Company, ?vhich sheuld not be disturbed in the free ise and enjoyment of its own read for the egitimate purposes of the business con emplated by its charter. So far, as te the iction of the Court of Errors of the State if South Carolina. Between the time of the delivery of the lecision of Chancellor Carroll-before whom he case was first heard-and the time of he delivery of the decision of the Court ef ? nore, the Columbia and Augusta Railroad eade application before Judge Aldrich for he appointment of five oommisiioners te alue the lands of the South Carolina Rail oad Company adjacent to the depot of this ompany at Graniteville, in order that the ight ef way over those lands might be had y the Columbia and Augusta Railroad for onstruoting their road acoording to their harter. Judge Aldrich refused the appli ation : first, because it was not made in roper form; and second, because there ras no evidence that, in granting a charter o the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, the legislature intended to take away any of tie rights of, or affect the grant which had een made to the South Carolina Railroad 'ompany; and, moreover, -that the laud rhich the applicant sought was not neces ary for the purpose of completing his road, 'he court also said that the directors of be Columbia and Augusta Railroad did ot themselves think that this right of way t Graniteville was necessary until they ound that they were prevented by the louth Carolina Railroad from moking use f a temporary track, when, to save haul ag a distance of half a mile, they, by a res lution of their board, changed the main rack and made the diverging track the iain truck. The General Assembly of the Slate, in ieptember last, passed "AE aot to declare be manner by which the lands^ or the right f way over tbe.lands, of persons or corpo ations may be taken for the construction nd UBes of railways and other works of uiemal improvement." The eighth section f this act is as follows : VnT. That no lands or right af way which tave heretofore, or may hereat ter be, procured or tho construction or use of any highway shall ie considered exempt from liability to coa lemnation; but the risrht Of way over tnid land md acro68 or along such right of way may be iosdemned for the construction of any other lighway: Provided, That in tbe construction of inch other highway there be no hindrance to ho uso and enjoyment of the highway for vhich such lands or right of way were pre? ciously procured; and in all such cases notice of ho application for a jury shall be served upen be president of the corporation whose lands >r right of way sball be required, or upon any lirector or local agent of the corporation. So the case stood when the Columbia and Augusta Railroad made a motion before fudge Platt to condemn the lands and right of way of the South Carolina Railroad, for ;he construction of the track of the com? pany between Graniteville and Hamburg rbis motion was refused, because the no ice required by the act of 18G8 had not >een given. The Columbia and Augusta Railroad, nevertheless, and without any (Tarrant of law, entered upon the lands and right of way of the South Carolina Rail? road, and proceeded ' o work upon them ,n the construction of their road. The proper notices to desist were served by the South Carolina Railroad, but proved inef? fectual; and the South Carolina Railroad then filed a bill in a Court of Equity, pray? ing that the Columbia and Augusta Rail? road be enjoined from prosecuting the said work. Tbe hearing of tho motion waa un? avoidably delayed, and after thc hearing,. the decision of Judge Willard was delayed by the pressure of other business. During the whole of this time, the Columbia and Augusta Railroad continued to work vig? orously in constructing their road upon the lands and right of way of the South Caro? lina Railroad Company. Justice Willard, as soon as was practicable, gave his judg? ment enjoining the Columbia and Augusta Railroad from entering upon the lands, right of way, or any of the franchises of the South Carolina Railroad for the pur? pose of constructing the former road; but giving to the Columbia and Augusta road the "liberty to move for the dissolution "of the injunction at any time before "the hearing of the case, on proof that "they have duly acquired the right to "enter, for the purpose of^Sonstruc "tion, upon the premises claimed of "the South Carolina Railroad Company." ? motion was thea pending before Judge Platt, of the Circuit Court, to condemn the lands and right of way of the South Caroli? na Railroad Company, under section eight of tho Act of 1808. This question came up, and the South Carolina Railroad made its formal return, showing the reasons why ob? jection was made; that the Columbia and Augusta Railroad had np legal right te enter apon the lands and right of way of the South Carolina Railroad; that no such right was given by the charter of the com? pany; that no Buch right was to be presum? ed or. inferred from the law of 18G8, section eight, which reserved to the State the power to oondemn existing franchises, but did not, by a general grant of power to build a road, carry with it a delegation of power by char? ter to condemn a franchise already granted; also, tb at such delegation, according to the uniform practice of law, could only be con? ferred by express enactment or necessary implication; and that there could be no im? plication, because it was susceptible of proof that there were other nodes by whioh the Columbia and Augusta Railroad oeald be carried to Hamburg without interfering with the franchises of - the South Carolina Rail? road. The return furthermore sets forth that, according to law in South Carolina, when application was made to the courts for condemnation of property in such oases, and an objection was made os to the exist? ence er propriety of the occasion fer the aid of the oourts in enforoing that application, a preliminary trial aid decision of the ques? tion of legal right must be had; that in this case the return of the South Carolina Rail? road did set forth the gravest objections to the precipitate action of the court, and made it mest important to allow the determination of the question of legal rights to preoede the condemnation ef those rights; that in the Court of Equity the question ef legal right could be settled, and that the South Carolina Railroad would consent to take up the case out of tem time, and at any day named, for its discussion and decision. On December 4,1SCS, Judge Flatt made his order, whioh has been published, sum? moning the parties before him again on December IO, and dedaring that the only question which ho had to dispose of prelim? inary te the condemnation was that of hin? drance, as set forth in stction eight of the Act ef 1808. On December 10 all the parties duly appeared, and the affidavits of numer? ous parties wer? submitted to Judge Flatt, who, on December 17, made another decis? ion, in whioh he ordered a jury te be em? panelled for the purpose of assessing com? pensation fer the lands and right of way of the Soath Carolina Railroad required by the Columbia and Augusta Railroad. The jury was drawn at Edgefield Decem? ber 31, and was summoned to bs im? panelled at Aiken on 2d January,, so that it was impossible?for the parties rep? resenting the South Carolina Railroad to appear and produce testimony. It was urged to the Clerk of the Court that the time fixed for impanelling the jury was unnecessarily short, and could not fail to work great injustice. Remonstrances and protests, however, proved wholly unavail. ing, and the jury was summoned to meet eu Saturday last at twelve o'clock. At that time (he parties representing both the Columbia and Augusta Railroad and the South Carolina Railroad appeared, and, on behalf of the latter, the right of chal? lenge was demanded, and the motion re? newed for reasonable time, even until the Monday following, that the attendance of witnesses might be procured. Roth appli? cations were at once rejected, and the jury proceeded at once to assess the compensa? tion due the South Carolina Railroad, not only with respect to the quantity and value of the lands, but as to the special damage which the South Carolina Railroad might sustain, by. reason of the crossing of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad over its lands and right of way. No postponement was granted, no chal? lenges were allowed, no testimony was pre? sented to the jury, no witnesses were pro? duced or sworn; and the only information which the jury could have received was by the cz parte statements of Colonel Johnson, the President, and Mr. Moore, the Chief Engineer of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad, who were with the jury the whole time, and were oonstantly and actively en? gaged in conference with them. The result was, that the value of the lands and right of way of the South Carolina Railroad from Orangeville to Hamburg-a distance of twelve miles-and tho value of BO much ground as was necessary for the construc? tion of the South Carolina Railroad for a distance of twelve miles, and the special damages sustained by the condemnation of the franchises of the South Carolina Rail? road company, was assessed by the jury at ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS. The South Carolina Railroad company could not, of course, submit to this deci? sion, and have made a motion to set aside the whole proceedings as illegal, inequita? ble and void. WE PUBLISH this morning a second letter from "Tax-payer," in regar.' to our railroad system. Our position in relation to the Savannah and Charleston Railroad is this : The State is liable for the first lien bonds and accumulated interest; tho road and rolling stock are not worth the amount of these bonds; the State, by moving thc first lien bonds-the first lien being her security for her endorsement-to the position of a second lien, ensures the completion of the road; when completed, the road will be worth the old first lien bonds as n ell as the new; the State will then be relieved from oil responsibility. We agree with "Tax? payer," that thc assistance of the State should be cautiously given, and that all roads which apply for aid or amendments to their charters, should be placed under such restrictions as will prevent them from working deliberately against the interests of the State. TUE REPORT of the committee of the Le? gislature appointed to inquire into the con? dition of the Bank of the State, printed in THE NEWS of yesterday, is especially clear as to the liability of the State for the Fire Loan bonds and for the bills of the Bank of the State. The committee treat the fire loan as a debt due by the State, and in re? gard to the bills of the bank they say that the whole issue must be assumed and paid by the State, with the exception of the amount tainted by rebellion, viz: Bills originally issued prior to 18G0, withdrawn from circulation and reissued after I860, and all new bills issued after 1860, amount? ing to $3,053,454.
