WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, l0 ".


n Bridge and CITY Bwilder-Cabsnet OGce1.
The founder of Hamburg, South Carolina, Henry
Shultz, Is now In Washington. He built, thirty
years ago, the great bridge over the Savannah
river, connecting Augusta, Georgia, with Ham
burg, and over which we once had the plea
sure to travel A contest at law has been pending,
for more than quarter OF century, between this
gentleman and the Augusta banks and the city
corporation for the bridge and the tolls, amounting
now to nearly million of dollars. The Leglsla-
iure of South Carolina have granted TO him the ex-
elusive br;ege right on the South Carolina side of
the Savannah. Mr.. Shultz is here attending to his
suit, and we learn that Messrs. Webster, Butler,
Buxt, and other distinguished lawyers, are retained
as his counsel. The beginning Of the fourishIng
city OF Hamburg is a singular but truthful story.
Where 1t now stands, thirty years ago a great
swamp only was to be seen. Mr. Shultz had the
ground canalled and thoroughly drained, and in a
single nj hit about thirty handsome houses rose to
the astonished gaze of the Geors lans
There is nothing yet known as to who will con-
stitute the cabinet of General Taylor. 1t seems
to-day that Messrs. Crirtcnden, Clay ton, and King
OF Georgia, are assigned posItonoby poliucians il
their opinions are worth anything during these
days. We believe that nobody in Washington
are few individual efforts to etYangle the Hon.
7. B. King, as Secretary of the Navy, by bringing
forward another from the same State for the War
Department. We do not care to- medole with the
respective gentlemen, but may be allowed tho
opinion, from what we have heard, that the work
will be futile, 80 tar the destruction OF his pre-
sent chances are concerned. CT
