THE GEORGIA BRIDGE CASE.

A the great Bridge Case Of Kennedy and
"A Shultz rs. the Bank Of Georgia, involving
million Of dollars, recently decided by the United
States Supreme Court in favor Of the Bank has ex-
cited much interest throughout the country, il is
deemed advisable TO publish the following letters
from Hon. ID. Webster and Judge Butler in regard
to the case. General Waddy Thompson, the other
attorney in the case, would doubtless concur in the
opinion OF Mr.. Webster and Judge Butler, were lac
in the city at this time TO be consulted.

Sra; We have examined the decree II the Su-
preme Court Of the United States in the case Of
Kennedy and Shultz the Bank of Georgia, &c.
The Judgment Of the Court s founded mainly
on the consent decree rendered by the Circuit
court, and the suppositon or assumption that the
counsel who assented 10 that decree represented
the parties upon the record. II this can be shown
not TO have been in point OF fact, then the decree
must be regarded void, to all tho parties who
we're not represented by the counsel who agreed TO
the decree. How the fact is, have no means Of

The Hon. JOHN MAYNARD, late Judge
OF the supreme court of New York, died
at his residence, Auburn, last Sunday.
He had been in feeble health for several
years, so much so that last fall he had to
resign his seat on the bench.

AN ADJUSTMENT IN VIEW.-The indica-
tons at Washington now promise an early
and satisfactory settlement Of the matters
at issue concerning slavery and the territories.
The two bills reported by Mr.. Douglass, from
the territorial committee of the Senate, and
the bill of Mr. McClernand in the House, will
probably form the basis of compromise
which will include the main points Of the
whole subject.
The admission of California, it now seems
likely, will be coupled with enacments for
organizing territorial governments in New
Mexico and Utah, aritAOut the proCiSO. Thus
the South will be satisfied, and the North
will, substantially, lose nothing. The exist
ence or non-existence of slavery in New
Mexico and Utah will be determined by nat
ural laws, which will have their way, sooner
or later, in spite of all subordinate legis!a-
ton.
Let the question, the whole series of them
be settled. That is what the country de-
mands. A feeling of anxious expectation
long prevalent on this subject, is growing in
to feeling of anxious suspense, which wor-
ries the public mind and makes it Indignant
al delay There seems to be a general be-
lief that the difficulties of the case have beer
unnecessarily aggravated, and that it is high
time for Congress TO 60 TO work and dis
patch the public business.

Spring AND SUMMER ARRANGEMENT
The attention OF travellers, and those inten-
ding to visit the East this Spring and Sum
mer, Is called to the advertisement under the
above head The Little Miami Railroad is
now being relaid with the t rail, and moth
ing has been left undone in the way Of ener-
gy and enterprise to render this route speedy
and pleasant. Travellers are put down in
N. York City in .fty-sir hours from the
time they leave Cincinnati! They are Ia
ken by the Little Miami, Mad River and
Lake Erie Railroads to Sandusky City, and
thence by line of splendid steamers, which
run in connection with these Railroads. to
Buffalo; thence via Railroad to Albany, and
by steamer to N. York-or by other routes
mentioned in advertisement. This is the
quickest, and by far the most pleasant route
to New York. There two daily trains from
Cincinnati TO Sandusky. The three routes
frnm Buffalo to the East, are all in competi-
ton as regards fare, time and disposition to
please.
We thank the Cincinnati agent, Mr. P. w.
Strader, for a through ticket, chalking our
hat " from Cincinnati TO Buffalo and back
again. 1t Is almost enough to induce US to
make trip to n. York.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your editorial yesterday
in regard to -" Obstruction of Sidewalks y |
think you rather disposed, from some cause,
to do our efficient Marshal Injustice
You disclaim (and doubt not your sincerity

account of having been among the first TO
suffer martyrdom, but you have evidently
been misinformed by some one. It certainly
i'll behooves those who have SO long disre-
garded the existence of this ordinance. to so
bitterly complain of it's severity. True it
may seem unkind, that the Marshal should
deprive some two or three business houses of
the time honored" privilege of doing all
they ever have been known to do for the ad-
vancement or prosperity of the city-that of
giving tone to her commercial interests by a
huge pile of salt barrels, grnd-stones and
other street ornaments. They were politely
asked to remove these membranes once.
warned of the penalty which would be en-
forced in case of noncompliance but because
of their familiarity with what they began to
consider as fixtures to their property, they
thought it presumptious in the young man
that he should so pertnentIy insist on their
removal. The eHectuaI radiance during the
past week of these very annoyances is not
only far from censurable but highly praise
worthy; and ifMr. Gavit continue as he has
begun, faithful in the impartial discharge OF
the duties of his Office, he cannot fail to re-
fleet credit upon HIMSELF his station, and the
city.

Road Meeting was organized in the Court
House of Rockport on Tuesday 10th inst, by
calling VIM. Jones, Esq. of Gentryville, to the
Chair, and appointing c. r. Rudd, Secre airy.
After the object of the Meeting was explain
ed by the Char, the meeting was addressed
by John Pitcher, Esq, Judge Lockhart, and

ReS0tred, That it is the determination OF
the citizens OF the County, to extend the con-
templated Plank Road as far into the inter-
or, in the direction of Jasper and Paoli as
they can procure stock to construct it with.
ReSOIUeG. That a committee OF three be APP
pointed TO correspond with the people of
Paoli enquiring into the eXpediency Of max
ing an effort TO procure stock to extend the
road from Jasper ria Haysville, and French
Lick to Paoli; and that said committee be also

,rLo accommodation in another column, re-
,at;ve to sidewalks, commences with an IN
correct position, in stating that from some
cause y we are disposed to do our efficient
Marshal injustice. We deny that any such
on;rit actunted us, or ever actuates US in com
mentino upon men or things. Nor were we
misinformed in our statements. They were
made by men of character and veracity.-
They did not object to the removal of salt
barrels " &C., but when they placed bill OF
goods on the sidewalk to remain for few
hours, till ready to be wagoned away or dray-
ed to steamers, they asked the privilege never
refused in large crowded cities, much less
should it be in this, for them to be permitted
thus to remain. For not leaving their Gus
toners, and attending Immediately to the
commands of the Marshal, they were hned.
We ofcourse know the Marshal had the right
to do this. So has public officer right or
authority to do great many things, that mad
much better for citizens, the law and the CITY,
be left undone We make no complaint per-
sonalIy, but we give voice to the complaints
of others.
The assertion that these complaining mer-
chants have done nothing more for the ad-
vancement or prosperity of the city, than by
huge piles of salt barrels, grindstones, &c:
to give tone to her commercial interests, is
nonsensical as it is untrue. These are the
very men who are doing most to build up the
cty-probably not most according to their
means, but most by means of their business
influence.
