Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report to His Excellency Governor Means, on the Subject of the Augusta Bridge: And the Navigation of the Savannah To His Excellency J. H. Means, Governor, &c. Dear Sir: I had the honor to receive from your Excellency, in May last, a letter, enclosing a communication addressed to Governor Cobb, of Georgia, which covered a certified copy of a preamble and resolution passed by the General Assembly of South Carolina at its last Session, on the subject of the "obstruction to the commerce and intercourse between the people of Georgia and South Carolina, caused by the collection of tolls at the Augusta Bridge." Your Excellency directed me, as Attorney General, in compliance with the requirement of the resolution, to enter upon an investigation "of the rights of all parties concerned," and to report thereon to you as soon as practicable. Your Excellency was pleased further to add, "the letter to Governor Cobb, and the resolution, you can either give him in person, or, if you are not now ready to go to Georgia, forward to him," &c. On the 13th of May, I forwarded to Governor Cobb your letter and enclosure, with a communication from myself, a copy of which I send you, and which concluded as follows: "I shall be much gratified to learn from your Excellency the grounds upon which the city of Augusta rests its claim to the collection of tolls, and to receive, if your Excellency does not object, a statement of the rights supposed to appertain to the State of Georgia in regard to her jurisdiction over that part of the bridge east of the thread of the stream of the Savannah river. "Such is my desire to contribute towards a friendly settlement of this matter, that it will afford me pleasure to meet your Excellency, at your convenience, at some point in the State of Georgia, for the purpose of conferring personally upon the subject." On the 29th of June, having received no reply from the Governor of Georgia, I remitted to him copies of the letters and documents previously sent, accompanied with an explanatory note from myself. To this I received an answer, dated 2d July, from Mr. Steele, Executive Secretary, acknowledging receipt, &c., and stating that Governor Cobb was absent from the State, but that, upon his return, the subject would command his earliest attention. In the meanwhile, I have thought that I ought not longer to delay entering on the investigation directed by your Excellency, with a view to that "full exposition" desired by the Legislature.
