The GREAT RAILROAD CAsE.-The Savannah
Republican, of yesterday, reports the following
among the proceedings OF the united states
Court on the previous dsy:
South Carolina Railroad va. City Council Of
augusta and the Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road. In Equity. The bill prays that defend
ant may be req uired to show cause why an in
junction shall not issue restraining defendants
from constructing b, idge across the Savan-
nah River and running their road into the City
OF Augusta, the complainants claiming an
exclusive right to correct their road with the
city by virtue Of contract between the par
ties.
The defence objected that the allegations
IN the bill were not sufficient to give juris-
diction to the court. This objection was over
ruled.
An affidavit was then filed that although the
General Assembly of Georgia had passed an
Railroad the company had not accepted the said
charter. and, therefore, they we're not corpo-
ration in Georgia, and the court had no juris-
diction OF the case. This affidavit, as we I'M
derstand it, was traversed, and the court gave
the defendants time to show that the charter
had been accepted.
