MR: BERMES LETTER AND TWR PRESS.
—The following handsome compliment is
from the Richmond Compiler, one of the
most intelligent and respectable papers of
Virginia :
,‘ We much admire the dignity, decorum
and gentility with which the Philadelphia
rapers treat the tre=tion pertaining to a
resumption of specie payments and Mr.
Riddle's letter. A portion of the New
York press hap indulged in a Strain 'of a•.
hose and dernniciation, in the last degree
thecreeitatile relittirein these matters.—
Indeed the general cloiracter of the Phila
delphia preps of both parties, is wnithy of
the cmidatioh that of Nen. York. The
city of Penn may well be proud of the
Lmentletriptity and able Character of her Ed
iturial corpse."
It appears! from the report of Mr. Bur•
moves, the indefatigable and intelligent su
permtendent,of Public Schools. that in the
di4rirts reported there are 3351 male and
and 1490 female teachers, and that the
her of scholars fought was 181,355.

were Ge - rinan, 942 were in endowed
schools, and 713 were colored, and the
average rust of teaching 1 4 or a month was
about thirty seven and 'a half Cents, reduced
from seventy•five cents.. The'whole tinni

L4Ae Senate of Peensyltarnia; ~ I 4 .,_.. :1- 'i *
lq• G.Estrume.s.--1 am compelled to return the bill entitled 'jAn wet ineurpleiatiort6i Offer-'`

It will be recolleve.l that at the commencements& tblilpresmit session ! " hill passed by the .
• preceding Legislatur,, incorno tisg eleven coal companies , was' re nrrietito the tenoe.— ."-
TheOlVentibn Coal company tl*, s embraced-in thatlbill4onder the t tee of the Buck Ridge •

nor diminished. They were t . l ‘ en stated against the virbole rinmheit„collentively: but were
~ felt against each separately. bey are therefore. now , repeated,. wr myi general reasons a- s:0
going the incorporations aerial companies: . . . .
"Ist. Because the incorporates of companies of sny kind, to actiomplish objects within
')4the reach of private enterprise, I, a departure from the good old and Safe rule of Legislation •
ul Pennsylvania. i;' - ?
: "ed. Because the mining of egial, thOngh it may have required the enlarged powers erne.

in

"3d. Because the law anthoriaing and regulating limited partner s ahrps,‘pres.entaalf the op. t:
port ti lity- for the investment of capital. without risk to the remainder of the-owners of pre. C

But there are also peculiar objections againgt this parueular bill. I ' '
. i

ready opened, by individual - enterprise, 'and traversed hy rail made, and ih which the-cosil,
IA trade is fully established.

')q;.l. It confer s privileges and,poraers unusual and dangerous to the great interests of Schuyl- ~,
kill. • The two thousand acme .0 - land authorized to be held by the company, may consist of
-: ten different tracts, in Norwegian and Barry townships, which townships comprise a large 1
proportion of the coal region or the county. From each and everyone of these trisn!'s thb '
company. may make a rail road; and they may hold lota or landing}, (not exceeding three I
P 4, acres each ,) at every point desirable for their business. Privileges or this ; kind, wielded by
the combined influence of corpnrations, baeked by a capital 0f53.50,000, are not only desire- P,
ble, but would form a dairgerouil interference in the acting and flourishing
' kill.county. '

to such a construction as woulid permit the company Ito engage in the general busipess of ;

making and selling "cars, bong engines and machinery;' though it lit preiktmed thit the id. l

For these reasons, lam eenstrained to return the billy I hid bbpedto . eseppe the necessity l
