CoFnmbm and Auqgsaasstas Railroad has again been
tdecided. Iii accordance with an order Of Judge
Plat, a jury was recently sumponed in Edgefeld
County to assess the damages sustained BY the
Soutf, Carolina Rail Road Company, BY reason Of
tie Columbia and Augusta Company having tres
passed OH the right ofWsy Of the former Compa-
ny. The jury, after carefully examining the mat
ter, and proceeding over the disputed parts of the
road, rendered verdict of $iio as the amount of
damages sustained By the South Carolina Rail
road. The money was promptly paid; but It seems
That tEie South Carolina Railroad is ''not willing
to give Il up 60, and has accordingly notified the
Clerk Of the Court Of Edge6eld County that appli
cation will be made to Set aside the verdict Of che

The Charleston Election Case.''i. ;i'E: -,
= Upon footiDgup the returns Of the election
held in Charleston, in November last, for Mayor
and Aldermen Of that city, it was found that the
Republican candidates bad received a small ma
jority of the votes cast The Conservatives, not
being satisfied with the result, entered protest
against the validity Of the election, charging fraud
and intimidation of voters. The acting City Coun:
Gil being the proper tribunal to decide the matter,
after investigation, declared the election null and
roid, and the thing ''dog.falP' neither party
elected The Republicans, in turn were dissatis-
fed and claiming that it was the duty of the City
Council to declare the election sued out writ Of
manRanlus to bring about that result. The case
has just been befSfe the Supreme Court, and the
opinion is given that it was 'the duty of the City
Council to have declared the result Of the election,
and that the announcement Of judgment that the
election was null and roid, was not such declara-
ton as was intended by the Legislature. and was,
moreover, beyond the power granted to the Act:
Ing Board of aldermen, by the act regulating the
election In commenting on the effect Of the
decision, the Charleston Neus says:
'The effect of this decision will be to compel the
Acting Board Of Aldermen to declare who was
elected Mayor and Aldermen Of Charleston at the
late election, as shown by the examination OF the
returns which they had made; but unless the Act
ing Board Of Aldermen voluntarily vacate their
places the persons declared elected will be left to
their remedies at law. In plain English, if Mr..
Clark and the present Aldermen choose to oppose
Mr.. Pilsbnry and his Aldermen, the latter cannot
get into power Without further resort to the courts
which may occasion months, or even years, of de-;
lay. .~,..,. -, y.
