A farmer detailing to usa few days ago | vances at the bands of these | tarnpike bighwaymen, stated that in a recent trip to this « bad to unload no less than four times, and by instalments orer | some of th the “turmpike;” and for allof as heartily tolled.

The lent free roms « no great expense, and would cheerfully under- take to put al! the main roads leading from the city in first-class nas free roads, had they the jurisdiction. Congress, too, has shown a dispositiv relief of the people | here, and sou dalaw toaid in fispossess companies of the charters t ated; but ap | to this time, throw companies have clutebes upon the We propose » epon the operations of these turn nies, and allow the people to miserable pretext they have been years in the way @ shadow of legal right. By reference to the | acts incorporating the turnpike companicson this side of the river it will be found that the Bladensburg road was incorporated by . by am act passed April 25, 1510. (2d Stat ‘The Seventh Street road was a Maryland cor peration under amact of the Maryland Assem- bly passed Febraary 34, 1%: authorized by the act of Con; 15, 1819, (Sd Stat. at Large, p. 482. ‘The 3d sestion of the actof February 15, 1519, subjects this (Seventh street road) corporation to all the duties imposed by the act of April ts, 1819, en the Columbia Turnpike Cempany. The requirements of the act of April 25th, 1810, are, then, the rey ulrements of the charters of both the roads. They are, briedy, (see 24 Stat- at Large, p. 7,) that they “shall cause at least 24 feet in breadth, throughout the whole fength thereof, to be made an artificial road of stone, gravel, or 0: the law, the bled for ¥ tolis collected without | | , Fecognized and | cient depth or thickness to secure a solid and © a# smooth asthe mate- im no case rise or fall more than an angle of | four degrees with a horizontal line: and the rt be kept in good 4 wheresoerer upon the said road any bridge shall be deemed necessary, the same shall be built of sound and suitable mate- | rials.” And the proviso is added, that “whenever the net proceeds of tolls collected on said roads shail amount to a sum the capital whieb shall hase of such land 2 per cent. interest per annum thereon, to be ascertained by the Cireuit Coart of the United States in and for the District of Columbia, the sarse shall become free roads, and tolls shall no longer be collected thereon; and said company shall annually wake reterns to said Cireat Court of the amount o: tolls collected, and of their neceseary expenses so as to enable ssid Cireuit Court to determ. ze when said tolle shall cease.” Now it is susceptible of proof that both com. panies have gross'y violated every one of the above requirements as to the character of the roads, except perhaps that as to the grades, which, however, they shave very closely; ard farther, that for a considerable period of years neither company made the annual returns to the court—and that the Biadensburg company Still does not—of the tolls collected and amount expended to repairs. There is the additional | enongh | raifroad on th ews of February | f; is said, to probibit the elaborate colored and embroidered vestments now used in religious services at St. Albans’ and one or two other Episcopal churches in New York city. There can be no appeal, for the present at least, from his Cectsion, and bis action is likely therefore to bring the ritmalistic questien to a focus, as clergymen réfusing to conform to it are liable t+ deposit‘on from the ministry.
