The proprietors of the pua)per aro under many obligations to these gen tleuen for the handsome malner in which they discharged their duties." Our neighbor is certainly fortunate in having such good repdi'ters. Their Ie ports during the session just ended were certainly among the finest evcr given to tihe public.

Judge Mackey's Reasons for Difrering from Judge Wallace in the Construction of the Charter of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta Railroad. Judge Mackey has filed his decree in the case brought by the Railroad Coin missioner against the Charlotte, Co lumbia and Augusta Railt ei Compa ly, to comlpel that corporation to charge on cotton as a "heavy article" and notas an 'article of measuremncut." The opinion is a leigthy and exhaust ive document, and we canl at present publish only a synopsis gathered from a report given by the Columbia Regis . ter. - It was urged by the Railroad that the pendoney of the ease of Elder & Co. in the Supreme Court wvas a ground for dismissing tile p~roceedinlg of' the Conimissioner. Judge Mackey holds that this p~lea is without merit, saying: "It is well settled lawv thait the judgment in a cause binds only the par ties to the 'cause. Tihie right of anmy person Is not to be concluded or even suspenuded by a judgment in a cause in which lie could not be heard and the aplieah froim which lie caniinot cont rol. Especially is this true of a publhc ofi cor', cuhargedl with the duly oni behalf of the p~ublic of invoking a judicial de termuiiationi as to the powVers of a cor pioration that in hlis judgmient is enga, ed ini anl openi and~ contining violation of~ law and of it-s charter, by exacingu excessive rates of toll from the public. It is made the dut~y of tihe Raiilroad Commissioner, by the statute creatingu his office, to make appication for ani injunction to restrainait rail roadl corLpor atien which in his judgment is acting violation of its charter." Judge Mackey then considers fully the law of the case, and conicludes his opinion as follows: "But admitting that the words of the charter are ambiguous, thle practical consequences \of the construction claimed by the company would be suf ficientto reject It. In Charles River Bridge vs. Warren Bridge the Su preme Court of the United States says: 'That any ambiguity in the term of the contract must op~erate against the cor poration and in favor of the public.' (2 Petters, 544.) Also other authori ties cited to the same point. It may \ well be hld that this corporation is estopped from denying the correctness of a construction of its charter, which, 4 although most favorable to the public, It has asserted and acted upon for more than a quarter of a century. "As to the thirty pounds cubic foot \theory, it was, in my opinion, foreign ~' to the'contemplation of the legislators who eriacted- the charter. Nor Is the capacity of respondent's cars to con vey artidles of measurement more rele. 7 vant to the Issue. The equIpment ol its road is changeable at the will of the respondent, and to give judicial sanctin to such an argument would be to croci a most variable and uncertain stand ard by whieh to measure public rights, in view of the law and theo facts, it it p ordered thAt the rule be made absolute, and that the respondent lhe perpetual. ly enjoined from charging freight on cotton in bales otherwise than as arti. eles of weight, and that the kespondent pay the costs of thIs pr'oceeding." We are informed that the Itallroad authorities requested1 of Judge Mackey that he would grant a suspension. of the injunction, pending a final deter minatign of the controversy by the Su pretne C.onrt. Judge Mackey refuised to grant the appliaation, upon the -ground that itwould work injury jo the farmers.-the producers of the staple. 5ke well seys. that WhfI* he moechate and the cotton-buyer have a i'emedy, by payingf ftihtehar os under rote, ~) <( the ftriner has none whatever. 1t is stated that no appeal has beeni or will be taken from Judge IY'ekey's order. This is unnecessary, as the whole quesitonl will coie up bofore the Supreme Court in the Elder case. Myriads o' people sacrifliceo them selves through Carelessness.
