Dscisiflv in Relation to the Right of Bridge Companies to Issue Paper To kens —United States vs. the Monongahela and Otherßridge Companies. —Opinion by M’Caudlesa, United States District Judge. The question raised by the demurer is, whether these corporations are liable to the penalty under the provisions of the act ot Congress of the 17th July, 1862, for issuing paper tickets to be received for toll. The indictment charges that the defendants “ did issue, circulate and pay divers checks, memoranda, and obliga tions, cash, for a sum less than one dollar, intended to be received and used in lieu of the lawful money oj the United States." The tickets are described as having print ed on their face “ Monongahela Bridge- Good for one trip,” with the name of the collector of tolls added. We do not think that this is a violation of any act of Con gress. Unlike the tokens recently issued by the merchants of this city, and for which penalties have been imposed by this court, these tickets have no resemblance or similitude in shape, design or material, to the coin of the United States, nor to the Postage Currency, ihe free and nntrammeled circulation of which it was the design of the act to advance and protect. They cannot even be dignified by the name, given in anything hut po lite phraseology to the worthless ‘ernes of rotten boroughs, which in our past history flooded the country; and againat a renew al of which the prohibitions of this act are directed. They do not contain a promise to pay money, they are not the representations of money, and therefore cannot be Baid to circulate, or be intended to circulate as money. Money is the me dium of exchange among the people. Its peculiar characteristic is, that it i-j the one thing acceptable to all men, and in ex change for which they will give any com modity they possess. The power to make it is an exclusive attribute of sovereignty, no difference of what material it may he composed. It may -be ot the precious or the baser materials, or it may be of paper, provided it has the stamp of the sovereign authority. Any infringement of this su preme prerogative is visited with merited punishment by all cations that claim to lave organized or well regulated Govern ments. .J. RODMAN HICKS. CHAS U. SWOPS. What are these tickets but a mere per mit to pass ou the defendants' bridge, the printed evideuc j that the holder haR the r ght of way over a public thoroughfare for n given distance. Their excision would subject to the penalties of this law all railroad and passenger railway com panies which issued tickets, as well as for the convenience of the public as for their own protection. No passenger is bound to receive them, nor should they he ten dered, except during periods when there is a great scarcity of the smaller coin ol the United Slates, and when the exchange is n mntnal accommodation to the passen ger and the collector. As every passen ger is bound to pay his toll, and in iba lawful circulation medium, the embarrass ment is more frequently with him than with the company. But as the latter en joy a monopoly of the particular highway, it is their duty so to use their Irancnise as uottoputthe public to unnecessary in convenience. The grant of corporate privileges is for the puDlic good, and frutn our knowledge of the gentlemen having the management of. these companies, we are satisfied they entertained do design to abuse them. They have an interest in common with the community in preserv ing tne purity of the cnrency, and a de parture from this policy would only react on thousands. Let judgment be entered for the defend ants on the demurer, ihe costs to be paid by the United States. These cases were argued by Mr. Bake well. Mr. Loomis, and Judge Sbaler lor the defendants, and by United Slates At toruey Carnahan for iheGovernment. The following from the Philadelphia Ledger , will nrswer lb is latitude as well as me Susqoebanr.a'and the Schuylkill : Fkee Bridges. —We see it Btated by a communication in the Columbia Spy, tW the subject of a free bridge over the Sus quehanna at Columbia, is beiug agitated there. Ae the Susquehanna divides Lan caster and York counties, this is a most important matter for tbe consideration of the people of that neighborhood, as im measurable advantages would resat from the completion of such a measure, and most especially to the citizens of Colum hia and Wrighteville, who occupy the east and west sides of the river. We know here the great beneficial results from hav ing free bridges over the Schuylkill, and we hope to see the day when all river bridges shall he free, as they should be. Let not the people faint or tire io ®uch an undertaking. Commendable Generosity, —We under stand that the miners employed in Claney. Mcskimen & Co’s, coal *orks, have token ouf, free of charge, three thousand five hundred and seventy-five bashels of coal, for distribution among.the poor of the two cities. The coal is brought to the city free of charge by A. Carnagie, esq., Super intendent of the Western division of the Pennpylvaniarailroad, and Messrs. Claney, Meskimen & Co., with the same com mendable spirit of liberality, deliver it free, upon ibe order of the Ladies Relief Associations of Pittsburgh and Allegheny, i his ie most commendable on the part of tbe miners above referred to. and should it be followed by theirbrother coal diggerfi. tbe Relief Societies will be enabled to lieve many a suffering family during tbe lining winter Ihe Rights of Pedestrians. —A case has just been decided in New York, in which a carman had his license taken away lor assaulting a person who removed a horse from the crossings, the driver bavißg taken up a position to cover tbe crossing place. The Mayer said the right of pedes trians to cross the street must not be im peded, it being the duty of the carman to give way. The practice in many cities ie just the reverse, and sometimes pedestri aus bave to wait till a long string of drayß. carts, Ac., pass so close to each other that there is no passing through with safety. The regulation in Pittsburgh iB against ibis, but the practice, nevertheless, is common. It should be reformed. Lecture— Rev. Dr. Orcutt, Secretary of the American Colonization Society, will deliver ft discourse in the 2d Presby terian church, fD.\ Howard’s) to-morrow (Sunday) evening at 7 o’clock, on the 44 Christian Civilization of Africa." in which be will speak particularly of the present condition and important uses of the Repoblic of Liberia.

New You, December 4 —The latest news by the Scotia contains a report from the London SpecttUor that Ban Russell leaves the British Cabinet to be succeeded y Bari Clarendon. J%v,iL~pHiL oCj the Boston Herald, in & letter dated "off Charslertou, Nov. 28, says ; One or two rebel batteries on James Island have been C demolished- by our immense shells. Sumter received an awful pound “g ye fl terday, one of our heavy shot struck upon the inside of the wall. The walls are so broken up that we have a fine view through them. Last night a sergeant and ten privates, of a Georgia regiment, stationed on James Island made good their escape, and surrendered themselves to oar forces on Folly Island. They state that the Charlestonians and rebel troops are almost in a state of panic. All kinds of eatables are scarce and enormoasly high. They Bay the South cannot hold out many months longer. The poor peo ple were in a state of starvation in Charles ton and Savannah. The rebels had heretofore kept a hospi tal flag flying from the Moultrie House and of course oar forces respected it and avoided firing upon it. bnt a few days ago the rebels commenced tearing down the Moultrie House, and revealed to our for ces a formidable battery which had been erected [behind it while it was under the protection ot the hospital flag. No flag now floats over Sumter, and only an occa sional shot is dow fired from its ruins. All the inhabitants of Charleston hr\d been removed to the rear of the city. The firing on Snmter had ceased, and Gen. Gilmore was turning his attention to the forts inside the harbor. A terrific fire was kept up on fort Johnston on the reception of the news ot Grant’s victories, and on Tuesday onr army and navy fired a grand salutes; soop afterwards the rebel battery opened fire which was vigorously going on when the Massachusetts left.
