nv COLUMBIA' Friday Morning, December 18,1868. r~-iff-rt The Columbi* ??Ml Aug???? _R?U It is known to oar readers that the construction of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad has been enjoined by Judge Willard, so far na it en? croaches opon the lands or right of way of-the Sooth Carolina Railroad. The encroachments occur, as wo are informed, on che lot of the _ latter Company, at Grouiteville Depot, and on the right of way at two points, the one for about one mile and three fourths, near Granitevilla. and tho other for about twa' miles and a f oar th, near Hamburg; the entire encroachments covering a-diatanco of about four miles, throughout Which tho proximity of the two roads is at no point nearer than fifty feet. The injunction is based upon the want of prc vio us compensation to the South Parolina; Railroad Companyi for tho appropriation of these lands, ?and will ?o^npo;until, by:the payment or tendt?f 'of Stich compensation, tho Columbia aud Augusta Railroad Com? pany, shall iicqniro thc right to enter upon- thc so lands. By tho Constitution of 1868, ns also by au Act of tho General Assem? bly, passed in September last, com? pensation in oases of disputed right, is required to be assessed by a jury of twelve, the order for the drawing of which jory is required to bo mado by tho Circuit Judge.of tho County, where ibo lands are situated. A petition for a jury to assess the compensation in these lands, bas been, as we aro informed, filed by the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, and is now pending before Judge Platt, of- the Second Circuit. It is resisted. at each step by the South: Carolina Railroad- Company, who aro doeply interested, to inter? pose every delay they eau to post? pone the completion of the connec? tion with Augusta. We are furnish? ed with a copy of Judge Plato's decision on the first hearing of tho petition, which we publish, below. Tho causo was, on Friday and Satur? day last, again heard, and the opinion of Jttdgo Platt is now anxiously awaited by the friends of the enter? prise:,' Ex parle, the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company-In re, petition for "a jury to assess compensation over lands and rigid of way of the South Carolina Railroad Company. Tho potition in this case was pre? sented to me under and in pursuance of secci?n 2 of the Act of the General Assombly of the State of South Ca? rolina, ratified September 22, 1868, (Act 42,) entitled "An Aot to declaro the manner by wbioh the lands, or the right of way over the lands, of persons or corporations may be taken for the construction and uses of rail? ways and other works of internal improvements." Its prayer is for an order upon the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas of Edgefield County, to empannel a jury to assess compen? sation, as directed in and by said sec? tion 2. Tho same section declares that such petition shall be presented to the Circuit Judge of the County whero such lands are situated; and that, on the hearing of such petition, the Circuit Judge shall grant tho order prayed for. A formal answer has boen put in by tho South Carolina Railroad Com? pany, setting forth their objections thereto; and, among others, this ono, to wit: that the entering, by the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, upon their landa at Gra nitoville, where tho respondent's de? pot is situated, for the parp?se of constructing their road thereon, and also its entry upon their lands nnd right of way between Granitovillo and Hamburg, for like purpose, would be a serious "hindrance to tho use and enjoyment of the highway for which said lands or right of way were previously prooured." Thc petitioners contend that the aforesaid Act 42 is mandatory upon tho Circuit Judge, and that ho can act only ministerially, and should not be coutroled or influenced by any assertion of rights in opposition to their prayer. Hut I cannot yield my assent to thia suggestion. lu any and every caso coming before me for ad? judication, (in the absence of positive legislative mandamus to the contra? ry, ) where it is made obviously to appear that by confining myself to men ly ministerial action, iujnstico nmy bo done, I deem it my duty to act judicially, and prevent tho mis? chief. I think tho spirit of said Act 42 so intended. After hearing argument by coun? sel thus far, and examination of law authorities quoted by thom, my mind bas been lcd to the following conclu? sions: 1. That it was tho manifest iulen tiou of tho General Assembly, in tht passage of suid Act 12, to enact a lavs -T- ... which should bo applicable to and obligatory upon all railroad compa? nies in the State of South Carolins, whenever the one, in the construction of its roa4, nlaimed the right of en? tering upon and using a portion Of the lands and right, of way of tho other. The South Carolina Railroad Company h. not made an exception to the operation of this enactment ; but, on the contrary, section 8 of said Act declares affirmatively that "no landsor right of way whioh have been heretofore prooured for the con? struction or uso of any highway, shall be considered exempt from liability to condemnation, but the right of way over the same may be condemn? ed for the construction of any other highway." The same section, never? theless, secures protection to the somp&ay vhese la?<h> or righi of way are thus interfered with, by declaring farther, in these words: "Provided, That in the construction of snob other highway, there be no hindrance to the use and enjoyment of the high? way for whioh suoh lands or right of way were previously procured." And it is apparent, from the reading of the entire Act, that the Leg is] a turo intended- to- encourage arid invite Sp i tal is ts from o th or St rles to invest eir i money in railroad.enterprises, and in other works of internal im? provement .in South Carolina, by affording them all proper facilities in the.construction of their railroads, and--in-the removal, so far as they could, of .all preexisting obstacles; and. ??so .to assure them that no other objection but tho ono of "hindrance to their use and enjoyment," etc., of their own road, should be successfully urged against thom, by any company whoso lands . or right of way were thus entered npon and thus used. It is equally manifest that tho Gen? eral Assembly intended to eon for and impose upon the Circuit Judge, and on him only, the power and respon? sibility of adjudicating upon the pe? tition, and of granting o'- refusing to grant tin order prayed for. A bill of complaint has been heretofore filed on the Equity side of the Court of Common Pleas of Riohlo .d County, by those respondents, against these petitioners, in which ail their rights and claims, .now asserted before me, are set forth and insisted on. Such suit is still ponding in said Equity Court. It was suggested, at the lato hearing of this matter before mo, that the surest mode of securing the just rights of both parties would bo to postpone any decision by mo, upon the petition aforesaid, until the rights of both had been investi? gated and adjudicated upon by that Court. This suggestion struck me favorably at tho timo, and I was in? clined to adopt it nud to rule accord? ingly; but on subsequent reflection and re reading of the Act 42, I lie came convinced that such ruling by me would be a departure from my plain path of duty. Tho "Circuit Judge," named in Section 2, has no right to transfer or delegate any por? tion of his power and responsibility to any other tribunal; neither would be bo justified in delaying the opera? tion of the Act of General Assembly aforesaid, because he felt desirous ol first knowing what somo other Cir? cuit Judge would deem and decido tc be legally right and proper. Regarding myself, therefore, ns thc only constituted judicial agent of thc State under that Act 12 to enforce its mandates, I do not fool nt libertj to entertain and adjudicate upor most of tho various questions raisec by the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany in opposition to tho petition, because I cannot consider then legitimately involved in the case. ] am not sitting as a Court of Equity to hear and decide upon genera! matters of difforenco existing be tween these two compauies, but at tho judicial officer indicated by th? General Assembly, and specially in structed by said Act to aid in enforc? ing its provisions; and, therefore, dc not consider myself at liberty to on tertain and decide upon any nssortec rights or objections, except tho sim plc one of "hindrance," particularly specified in the Act. Il is, therefore., ordered and deter mined, That tho petition of tho Co lunibiu and Augusta Railroad Com pany bas been presented in due forn of law; and that respondents have, ii duo form of law, put in their answe thereto, in which answer it is alleged among other things, that the takinf of their lands and right of way, a: prayed for, will be a hindrauco t( the use and enjoyment by respon dents of their own highway, within th? intent and meaning of tho Act afore said, (No. 42.) And if such grounc of objection be made to appear, b; clear and sufOoient evidence pro duced, as true and well taken, thoi and in such caso thu prayer of th petition must be denied, us pro dei in and by Sectiou 8 of tho Aot aloro said. But in tho absenco of sud proof, the order prayed for will b granted. And il is further ordered. That th hearing of tho case, for tho purpose abovo expressed, be continued befor mo ut Chambers, in Aiken, on Thun day. tho 10th day of December, insl Z. PLATT, Judge of Second Circuit.

EDITOR : This, I hope, will reach the oyo of some of oar yoong men, and old, too, who use tha? moat i filthy and noxio us weed, tobacco; the habit of using whioh is fast becom? ing intolerable tc decency ssd ?uo? society. What lady or gentleman is there in any community, who. could invite to their parlor a person whose habits require him to spit all over a room? What, is more annoying than to have to converse privatoiy with" a person whose every word- and breath siokens yon with the nauseous tobacco. What ?B more thoroughly disgusting, than to see in a fine dry goods store great pools of amber on the floor, and there, suspended above, are handsome laces, or other costly fabrics, whioh, if they fall, are ruined; or to have to wait on yon a clerk, who cannot atlerd to you pro? perly for his incessant grinding and spitting? : Time was, and - will be, when no.gentleman would approach 1 a lady nader any pretext with a piece of nasty tobacco in his mouth; and time should be now when a gentle? man should be ashamed to have to turn from n lady to discharge hnge mo?th-fnlls of filthy tobacco juice. Wo are wont to discriminate largely in fuvor of Southern over Northern manners aud habits; but I know that in a hotel North, where ten thousand people pnss in and out daily, you find but few spittoons, and no indis? criminate spitting over floors; and as to business places, especially where ladies congregate, you find no such thing as spittoons and filthy tobacco chewers. Such things as grinding tobaoco and spitting indiscriminately, would disgrace a man in a business point of view. Go iuto a hotel here, and see tho .reckless ?iso of tobacco. Go into one of our fine stores herc, and all is pretty, until you take a glance at the floor, and then you almost shudder for decency, ns you seo a finely dressed lady pickiug her passage along, os though she were crossing a muddy street, to prevent sweeping.up some tobacoo pool. Now, Mr. Editor, these things are facts, and tho writer hopes to see better manners. C. CUSTER'S REGENT FIGHT A MASSA? CRE.-Colonel Wynkoop, agent of the Cheyenne and Arapahoes Indians, has resigned that position on account of certain military operations against the Indians. Ho says Black Kettle and his band wore friendly and upon their own reservation when attacked, and he believes General Custer's fight on tho Wash i tu was a massacre. A terrible murder and suicido oc? curred in San Francisco, on the 5th nit. A. Dane, named Jacobson, at? tempted to destroy a farrily through tho medium of a bottle of poisonod wine; failing in this, he retired, but returned late at night, entered tho young lady's room, shot her through the head with a pistol and then killed himself. Tho British steamer Blanche shell? ed a village in Rondova Bay, the natives having killed and eaten the master and crew of the bark Marian Benny. Twenty-six skulls wore found in the ruins of a hut. The captain aud crew of the schooner Harmon, eight men in all, have also been murdered and eaten by the natives of Hudson's Island. A drunken man in Wilmington, Delaware, disappeared a few days ago, and, on Monday morning they found his dead body lying in tho trench, and against a red-hot casting, the body in a blaze, and one leg partly burned off, so that thore was no sign whatever of Ibo lower part of it except the solo of his boot.
