Mr. duller Onr rlew t that the word ludlelal t doea sot apply to the word transfer at all. bat aim ply to tbe word sale. I suppose thnt there ia no I UDctuation In tbe record, tbat there ia no comma at all. Bat we believe that tbe road can be Judi cially sold. A transfer ia ancther thing. i Mr. Glbbora I think IVIr. Cuyler ia mistaken. I think there ia In one of the copies a punctuation, end ibe genllt-men have punctuated It as A was In their copy. 1 suppose that the only way to read ibis is to read It like an act of Assembly, without ary pnnctuatlon at all. Air. Porter It Is said on tbe other aide tbat there la a rnnma between tbe word sale and transfer, and tbey propose to dissert It and read It a judicial sale, but not a judicial transfer. Tbey wish to say, 1st, an assignment for tbe benefit of creditors; ad, a judicial sale; 3d, or a transfer of any kind. To do this tbey must put in another word, an article. Their object is to dissect it, to dissever It, to disin tegrate It. We read it a Judicial aale or transfer: that la, tbe word judicial connected with the word asle and connected with the word transfer. Can there be any doubt about HI Does not a party wben he comes Into court and asks yon to put In another word which la not in the paper, done he nol show yon the weakness of bis mode of Interpre tation We rend It a it is, a judicial sale of trans fer. Are ) on to say that it means an assignment lor the benefit of creditors, or a judicial sale, or a transfer of some kind I This is to make another contract. This Is to butcher tbe thing. This is to tear it to pieces, to tear the very bowels ont of it. Where is this mode of construc'ion to end f Is It necessary for us to do as some of tbe old transla tors have done, to interpolate a word, a fact which fnqnently causes commentators and readers so much trouble l We read It as It was written when tbe contract was made, the word transfer not torn eft from tbe other words And taken by itself, bat connected with the previous members of the sen tence as the parties wrote It. What was the use of tbe word judicial at all, if It means a sale or transfer I W hat is the meaning of the word judicial in tbat connection I Why not have left it out altogetbert But It Is no sale at all. It is no transfer. It is a lease. Yon are not to say, if I lease my house, that I tell It, that 1 have lost the control over my property altogether. I have merely given my right away for a certain time. Surely you must apply that doctrine here, and say that where a company has made a lease of its property it ia no aale of It. Under thla contract wbat were tbey to do? The Sunbnry k Erie agreed to furnish sufficient motive power to haul over their own road between Mil ton and Wllliamsport, all the passenger, express and baggage cars of the Catawisea Kaiiroad Com pany, or that might be presented by them. Does that pass as an incident of this lease! Look at the authorities which have been so skilfully presented by my colleague, Mr. Drayton, on this suoiect and cay whether thia does not pass. One company having made a beneficial contract with another company in regard to traffic, may, with a lease of Itself transfer the benefit of the contract, (London k S. W. K. W. Co. vs. S. E. K. W. Co , 20 Eng. L. k Eq. 417, Kedfleld p. 418.) A contract by two railway companies that each shall run upon tbe track of a portion of the other'a line, la of a permanent character, and cannot be determined without the assent of both parties, although in terms It did not specify " suc cessor." And If the line of one company be leased its lessee may nse tbe line. (Great North. K. W. Co. vs. Manch. Shef. k London. R W. Co., 10 Eng. L. k Eq. It, p. 11) The West London Railway Company entered into an agreement with the Great Western Kail way Company, under which the latter company bound themselves to stop certain of their trains at a point where their railway Intersected the West London Railway, for the purpose of transferring passengers, Ac, from one railway to the other, and to atop their trains tor tbe purpose of meeting cor responding trains, kc. Subsequently tbe West London Railway Company was authorized to make a lease to the London and Birm. Railway Company. It was held inter alia that the lessees could, it they pleased, claim the benefit of tbe con tract between the West London Rail way Company and tbe Great Western Railway. (West London R. W. Co. va. L. k N. W. R. Co , lb Eng. L. k Eq. R. 4fl ) Do yonr Honors want any better or stronger authorities than these! Says Mr. Parsons: "So much did tbe ancient law abbor litigation, that the transfer of a chose in action was wholly prohibited But we apprehend that the stronger and better reason was, that no debtor shall have a new cre ditor substituted for the original one without bis consent. Courts ol Equity have long disregarded this rule." (Parsons on Contracts, vol. 1, p. 'Hi and 224, and cases there cited.) I have one or two other topics on which I wish to tonch sliirhtlv. As to this matter of the idma which baa been dragged into this case, I do not wish to enter into thut or to discuss it. Hut you have in this case what you had not intheomer case conclusively established by proof, as we think It that this certificate did remain in the office of tbe Secretary of the Commonwealth forty daya. It this is to be done In one cose where Is to be tbe limit! It I hand my friend Col. Snowden here a declaration, and it is received and kept forty days, aud tben banded back to me, where is to be tbe limit! . If I go before the Master in Equity In thia Court, Mr. Mallerv, and I tile something with him and be keeps it lor weeks, and then sends It bark to me, where ia to be the limit! The paper ia sent to the Secretary and be returns it in a letter saying, where is your authority ( Judge Church replies by tbe next mail, saying, here is your authority and here la the page. Six or seven weeks elapse before any answer Is received. What was the duty of the Secretary 1 A law had recently been passed requiring the filing of tbe paper, and wben tbe Seeretary asked tor authority be was re ferred to the authority, ana forty days passed be tore anything was heard from bim to indicate that the paper was not mea. . 11 mis is to oe aone, not one of us can say where It will end. It is said on the other side that these bonds were dated when tbe paper was not in tbe otlice of the Secretary. Governor Walker ia here with the knowledge in bis breast that these bonds were not Issued until the 15th. These bonds were issued to an extent of whlcu yon caunoi conceive. Look at it aa practical men. These things conld not be written They had to be lithographed and some date bad to be nxea. i ne Dona mat were lasuea weighed over three thousand pounds. After the Ink waa pat upon them and dried. It added a weight of 700 pounds. We are not dealing with petty matters here. We are dealing with large matters. Some date had to be put In, but although thev were dated, nothing practical waa done with them until nearly two weeks after the date of the bond, but Interest was made io run irom tue day on which thev were dated. How, when ten or eleven days pass witnont bearing from the Secretary, what must we con. , elude! Why, that he waa satisfied. After all these transactions bad been aone, and all this immense amonnt of money bad been expended on thia thing, ( roost the Secretary not be prevented from saying that thia was not placed on file I Are you going to commit all this power io one mar. I A vast num. Der of men showed their faith in this enterprise by Investing in Its bonds; and then, after week bad, passed, tbe Secretary returned the paper and re QGrd. tC flllW IX to remain in his office. Certainly, vour Honor! Will tot aay that this act destroyed the immense interests which bad thus been staked on tbe good faith of tbe State. I observed in the opposing argument one great mistake which ran through the whole of It. This office of the Secretary of State is an office of record for certain purposes, not for ail purposes. It cer tainly cannot be a place of record for a copy of a paper. In this case the original waa not to be sent tbere. A copy waa to be sent there, and a oopy of ' the papers sent to be verified could not be sent there and be called a reoord. i May It please your Honors, bad the act stated . tbat the Harrlsbnrg Bank Is a corporation created " by tbe State of Pennsylvania, In which copies of agreement of consolidation may be deposited, , could tbere be a plea of nui tiel record In that cojis'I Suppose the act had said let it be deposited with the Treasurer, and be kept with the records of bis office, could there be a plea of nut tiel record ' there I . ' Chief Justice Woodward Does not thia agree, rnent become a law of the corporation by virtue of ' the accompanying legislation! ' Is not this agree ment Inwritten in tbe legislation of the company by tbe act of incorporation, and therefore does not the Roll Office become a perfect place of re cordf - . ".. , . I . Mr. Porter No, air, you can never rive an act drawn by private parties the effect of an act of Assembly, ii nui iv iue agreement neea .- - fcot be tiled at all. Can a mere copy of a private i rreemeot be equivalent In authority and clothed . ail the rower of an act of Assembtvl i t Chief Justice Woodward Dow not this paper h ome Dart of the act of Assembly 1 Jklr, Porter No, never. I do suppose that the moment you say that a copy executed bymysel' and my f rlei.d, Mr. Blddle, l to bave tbe etwt ot' anytlin.fi within gnns bot range of an act of Assem bly you do that which ha never been doue- before by any court' An act of Assembly is the most solemn thing you can eoncelveof. Now I can con. ceive that tbat office can be a place of record for one purpose and not for another parpoee. It is not a place or record for coat and hats, altnougn they may be lawfully hung up tbere. It is a place of record for acts of Aseembly. When a mm la allowed to transact a piece of business, of cor poration business, the Legislature may say, "After yon are through with these things you are to leave i copy oi mem in tue Harrlsbnrg Hank, or in be tM CTctaiy'e office, or In any other place where pre pie may look at therd." W hy, this is as widely different ftom an act ot Assembly a (lay if differ ent frcm night. You cannot give to cornorn.lona more power In this, rpect than you can to lodivl- t'uniB, j i nm io triune an agreement wim my friend, Mr. Walker, and am to deposit that or a co py of it somewhere, the officers of the law are to do nothing at all, but a copy of the lnstrumnt is sim ply r quired to be filed. To give that paper the dig nity oi an act ol Assembly, or anything approacn ing It, would be fraught with consequences the most disastrous. There may be some advantages n considering this to be an act of Aseembly, but I must put it on tbe ground which I believe to be the true ground, tbat no act of an individual can be clothed with tbe authority of an act of Assembly. l nere are many paper" required j on ueposiu-u which are not records. Take tbe case of tbe bonds given by the Cusiom-house officers of the city of Philadelphia: they go to the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury, who Is one of tbe Assistants of the Attorney General. They may be made evidence, nnd copies ol them may be made evidence. Hut I should be very sorry to think, as a ci'lzen of Penn sylvania, tbat any oiher citizen of Pennsylvania, or of any other State, should be able to make an act of Assembly for me. 1 would rather have our acts passed by tue persons we seua to inrrisDurg, no matter what their characters may be, than to nave wo persona a thousand miles off make an act for me. I want to say a few words ebout these Ohio and Pennsylvania laws, and then I shall have conclu ded wbnt I have to say In this case I shall say nothing about this 1st section of the act of Penn- ylvatiin. 1 here is not the lenst difneul y In un derstanding It or in showing you how it operates: not at all. It simply says, that wben any tall road company In this State which connects with a rail road in another State, by doing certain things thse companies may be made one. Hut tben there Is a proviso "that nothing in this act contained sbull be taken to authorize the consolidation of any com pany or corporation In thia common wealth with that of any other State whose laws shall not also authorize a like consolidation.' "Like consolida tion!" What does tbat mean? It does not mean like legislation. Suppose the State of Pennsylvania had ald to the State of New York it could not to the State of Ohio, because Its law was passed nine years be. lore but to tbe State of New York, "We require yon to pass a law in just the words of tbe act which we have passed." Would thai be tolerated between one State and another! Would not New Yora say, "We will pass it in the way we want it done." Suppose I say to your Honors, "I want you to write an opinion in this case which will be just lour pages of paper in lengin." w nat wouia your Honors think of mel Suppose I go to a gen- tiemrn ana say, ir, nere is a letter commencing Dear Sir, nnd ending Yours, Respectfully: sign his letter." that would be an indignity, ana it would have been the most Indecorous thing, it seems to me, on the face of the earth to sty that New Y'ork sbonld be required to pass a law just in the words of our law. Tbe Pennsylvania law does not require similar legislation on the part of New York. Car law gays, "whose laws shall not also authorize a like consolidation." Then in the commencement of the next section follows that word "said" said con solidation and it is contained in the three acts of Ohio, New Yo'k and Pennsylvania. It is the fact tbat tne consolidation la to take place in tne par ticular way pointed out in the succeeding sections of this act that is kept prominent. I can readily understand this policy. The Legislature simply intended to say to these corporations we have au thorized tnis consolidation, nut now take care. uo nothing that will clash with the laws of other States. Do nothing tbat will interfere with tbe laws of other States, for that would not be conr. teous in vb We have given you thit authority, but we mean that you eball do nothing under it until yon get the like authority from the State of New x ork. now is it to b aone I What Is consolidation I What does that mean l It means the union of certain municipalities of certain corporate bodies into one, so as to make it a solid compact whole. We consolidated munici palities, lourteen of them, in the city of Philadel phia. In this consolidation the mode is to be the came in the three States. In authorizing this con solidation the design of Pennsylvania was not to interfere with the laws of the State of New York In New York the stock of the company might be attached for debts Tbey might have laws regard ing the mode in which dividends must be paid not more than once a year and they might have dineient rates oi toll. Here tbe certificates of stock are all personal property and go to the executor. New York might make a ditterent law about that Tbe laws on taxation mipht be different in New York and Penn s lvanin. We did not want to interfere with that. Taxes might be payable tbeie at tbe office of tbe company. They migbt be payable here by tbe man wro gets the dividend. The law of New York migbt require that every car running on that road should have a conductor, that each car should bave two braketmen but the general power to consolidate, to unite these three corporate bodies Into one, must be given in a similar manner. Otherwise the thing could not be done at all. It would not be consolidation, and therefore Penn sylvania waa careful to say that the fact of the con solidation must be authorized by the act of New York, before there shall be any authority under tbe act of Pennsylvania. One thing is so plain to my mind that I do not see bow there can be any reasonable don bt about it. Can you require that New York shall autho rize this consolidation by a general and not a spe cial law! Can you say to New York, "You must do it by a general law!" New York would say, "No, we will not do it in that way. - You choose to do it by a general law, we will do It in eaoh par ticular case. We have given you authority now. When you want authority in any other case, say so, and you shall bave it." That would, without any unnecessary clashing or interference between tbe two States, perfect tbe consolidation. As to tbe powers given to this new company, all that Is required to understand them is a plain and simple reading of these several sections. The complainants' counsel read one clause, that upon filing a copy of the act of consolidation the corpo ration shall possess within this commonwealth tbe rights and privileges and be subject to the re strictions and disabilities of each ot the consoli dated companies. Tbere they stopped, but when you go to the fifth section yon read that tbe rights of each corporation and the property, real, per. sonal and mixed, and all debts due, on whatever account, and all property, rights of way, etc, shall be enjoyed by It. Tbe Ohio and Pennsylvania laws re the same In this respect. There can be no doubt that th consolidation under tbe laws of Ohio and Penn. sylvania was perfect. Here is Pennsylvania sur rounded by six States; suppose five of them pass consolidation laws oud one does not, and consoll ! datlon takes place under tbe laws of five States; because one State does not assent is the consolida tion In all the others to be blown upl Suppose the consolidation has taken place under the authority of the lawa of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and tbat the law of New York is not strong enough. The Ohio law is right, PennsyivJ nla and Ohio come together and agree perfectly. Tbere are several hundred miles of tue road running through these States, aud there 1b but a small portion of it running Into New York, and Pennsylvania and Ohio come together in entire le gality; laltalltobe lost because tbe New York law is detecti ve7 If a man goes into an office ot a railway company with a certificate In his hand of ISO shares oi hock, ana asas lor nis aiviaena, ana they any, "Sir, yon are wrong. It is a mi:ake of the clerk. You are entitled to only one hun dred sbarea of stock." Nobody would say that he would not be entitled to any dividend whatever. If I bring an action of ejectment lor ten bouses and prove my title to six of them, mint I lose all because my deed calls for ten ! The case of an indictment Is a stronger case, ten counts bid and one count good. A case of a declaration, ten counts bad and one count goo a. ii me otam grant me a patent for five tract of land and I am found entitled to one, my right to that one is good. If a man ha an invention for a plane and a saw, and the latter Is bad because somebody has invented it before him, the patentee' right to the plane Is good. 1 If I, by will, devise my house to A for life, then to B tor lite, then to O for life, and then to some one else to be called Into existence 60 year after ward, tbe latter Is void by the law against perpe tuities, but will that afreet like previous life estates. Take tbat wonderful case which oocurred many year ago. I wa not called professionally to take any part In It, but I listened with a great deal of Interest to tbe argument of that case In which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company bought our pub lie works. She was authorized to buy tbe works for a certain sum. In that very act of Assembly It was provided that she wa to pay a certain ad ditional sum and be exempted from taxation.

About half-past 9 o'clock on Saturday evening a most destructive tre broke out at the extensive rope manufactory ot Fitler, Weaver & Co., situ ated on the ra6t side ot Germuntown road, between Mnth and Tenth streets, in the Nine teenth Ward. All the spacious main buildings connected with the establishment were entirely desito.ved, together with a vaat amount oi mate rial, making a total loss of about $130,000, on which there is an insurance of about $80,000. The principal build ng was a three story brick edifice, situated on (iermantowu road. This builaitg was 120 feet in length by 40 feet in oepth. It ws here that the main operations o! the hrm, consibt-ng ot spinning an1 preparing hemp, took place," and ti clinically termed the "ienuv hous." East of this was a long one story brick building, used lor preparing Ame rican hemp. Extending Irom the main building was a large two sti'iy briek structure called the machine shop. The one-story brick built inar was the engine and bolter-bouse. Extending aciossa field the distance ot 1:100 feet, all the way lo the Kensington Water Basin, were two parallel one-story frame rope-walks. 1 The firemen of the vicinity were in a distant part of the city on a parade. Chief Lylc, who was with tbcm, detached the portion belonging to the district, and despatched ihem to tbe spot. Circumstances seemed to conspire to pre vent the saving .f the property. Tbe f it men who were hrbt upon theg-ound stated that there were but two lcet of water in the Kensington basin, and they were unable to accomplish any edeciive service, not being able to obtain a sufficient supply to force througD along line of ho-e. The watchman who hr.-it ci-covered the lire states that r. originated in the second story of the spinuing-roDai, aud w is ol litile consequence at first, but a want of water preverted its extinguishment. With the single exception of the engine house, which had only the roof destroyed, a'l of tne above buildings were entirely consume! by the flames, but it is believed that the boiler aud engine are In tolerably good condition. The extensive ropewalks and their valuable contents were saved by cutting away their con nection with the main building. A range ol frame stables in the rear of the establishment were aved, together with a num ber oi horses located in them. A trame two-and-a-half story dwelling, situated near the factory at the south end, and occupied by Andrew Wingate, one of the principal work men ot the destroyed establishment, was en tirely consumed by the tire, but the bulk of the furi.iiure, etc.. was saved. The fire originated in the "jenny house" in the main building, second story, at the soutb end, where manilla hemp was spun, and was ent'Tely accidental. The destroyed establishment was one of the largest of its kind in the United States, at.d employed 250 hands. The insurance is principally la the following companies: Franklin, State of Pennsylvania, North American. Delaware Mutual. Pennsyl vania, Spring (larcfen, Jefferson, Liverpool and London. Royal, Girard, and Etna, and Hartford, oi llartiord, conn. Toiice Items.
