Amyng the many duties and responsi
bilities devolving upon the JPreu t none
demand a greater share of .attention; than
that l which makesit.the boundon duty of
those controlling this mighty; engine for
good or evil, to investigate,impartially, all
measures ptbpqsed, having a bearing -.upon
the interests of the people, and to lay the
result of this examination folly and freely
before the public, regardless of what may
be considered the prevailing sentiment* of
the .day. It is a Well known fact, that'
many questions nearly allied with the pub
lic good, the success of which would greatly
promote tbis opjpct, yet bear do their fade
a color ,which renders them unpopular at
first sight. , And here we apprehend the
Press in many c&fles fails to sonic extent
in its noble mission. It hesitates to en
counter the popular current, even when
this current has been created through a
misunderstanding of the nature and hear
ing .of the .subject in dispute. For our
part we shall not yllow such considerations
to deter us froim Boldly uttering our earn
est convictions on any and all questions
as they arise.’ Having, as we believe, dis
covered a matter in which our people arc
deeply interested —an operation by which,
through .ignorance of its effects, the people
snffer themselves to be plundered annually
of a large amount, we shall not hesitate to
exposethe injustice of the arrangement,
even for a time we should meet
with hpjK>sitlon. from those we seek to
Jbenofit. \
Acting upon the ideas; here suggested,
ire |mve recently bestowed much attention
on the Tonagc Tax at present imposed by
(ha State upon the trade seeking an av
enue dyer the Pennsylvania Bail Bead.
Actuated by the fact that the magnitude
of the interests involved rendered this one
of the most important questions at pres
ent connected .with the Administration of
oar -State affaus-r-and one which it was
mAfedesirable should be fully understood
by every • citizen of Pennsylvania, we
beg leave to the case before pur readers
as it presents itself to ns. It is yrell
koown that tho State .at present derives
an annual revenue of say a quarter of a
million of dollars from a tax of three mills
per ton per mile,. imposed on freight car
ried pyer the Pennsylvania ‘Bail Boad.—*
This tax was! incorporated with the char
ter of the said' company only as a means
of projecting from competition the .State
improvements, which having since passed
into hands of Aisjsame Ponn’a Bail
relieves the State Irom.all so
licitn#: fqr their protection. Neverthe
less, repeal of this tax wasifirat

organization eonld be-made to a Rev
enue of a quarter of a million per autnm,.
to pay the interest on one-eighth of
our dhtire State debt, was it good policy
to allow them to break the bargain ?
These ; and similar interrogatories arose in
ourmind, and we doubt not such have al
jßp been stared by many of our readers.
Under such a state of affairs we approach
ed Ala question. Our surprise can per-
haps he imagined, but we are sure cannot
well be described when we found that the
Penn’ft Sail Road Co., did not in reality,
previously supposed, pay this
4ax.;||jul f no not a cent of it ; but on
tbe-jonriraqr, that it was merely collected
tyr ihsfccompany from shippers and con-
along their line, in. ad
dition to the freight charges made 'for
tmnsporintioa. Of this feet eveiy shipper
su»a 80 much additional tax collected
by the Pean’a Rail Road 00., for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Thus the
Company is merely made a Tax Collector,
and has as little to do with paying the tax
as the public tax, collector has with liqui
dating the assessment made upon private
citizens. Here was a view of the question
we were totally unprepared for, and one
which pat an entirely different face on the
whole matter. As long as we believed that
we had u stuck” this wealthy corporation,
to the tone of €250,000 per annum, we
were in no- special concern about the re
peal ofthe-tax. It was a good joke all
thiwjghoutl I- Wehada very goodthing
*nd the temptation was gpreatlio ho& on;
tq it- Rat alas! when we discovered that
thC;dforesaid €250,000 wm every year
quietly drawn from our own pockets, the
laflgh wae decidedly against ns, the boot
wasnot only on the other leg, hot it
pinched our corns unmercifully. I ;
wiah ohr readers to understand ful
ly, that not <me cent.ofthia.sodatled.Ton
nage Tax is really paid by the Penna. R.
R. Co., but that every cent of it; is collec
ted from the people residing aloing the
Line ofthatjßoad, who are compelled *to i
use itj their ohly mcanß of inter-communi-1
cation. Eyerybarrelofflomyeverjr piece,
of dry goods] every article oither to eat or
to wear, has been carried,over the
road, haspAiditsfull proportion of this
Tax, and 'by &at amount has its coat to
the consumer been increased. More than
this, from the very natnre of things, the
Local Trade, and the Local Trade alone,
has to pay the .entire amount of the Tax.
The desperate struggle for the through
trade, in which the New 'York, Pennsylva
nia and Southern Routes are engaged, is
familiar to all, in conseqiience of which
the rates from competing points through
out the West, have been reduced to a point
barely sufficient to cover the cost of trans
portation. Ont of this trade no Tonnage
' Tax can be raised. What.then is to be
done? Simplythis remains, to collect from
the citizens of Pennsylvania, who use this
line , the whole tax which the State of
Pennsylvania , has in its wisdom seen fit to
impose. This is so palpahly the case that
we need not waste time in attempting still
further to elucidate what is already clear
os demonstration can make it.
The question then arises, if the tax
had to be collected in Pennsylvania and
from Pennsylvanians for the benefit of the
whole State of Pennsylvania, why should
not all parts of the State contribute to the
fund. Where is the justice, not to say con
atitutionaUty, of burdening one portion of
the State for the benefit of .all? Why
should the farmers, miners, manufactur
ers and business men residing along the
line of every other line N in the-State, be al
lowed to sbipand receive their goods un
trammelled by a special tax, while we,
citizens of thesame State, as loyal to its
institutions and we hope as brave in their
defence—the .peers and equals of the
proudest within her border—why should
We be subjected to this unequal and un
just legislation* 1 (
Why, we would wk, should the ship
per of Cincinnati, of St Louis, or of Chica
go, be at liberty to ship his trade over our
own Pennsylvania road, built by Pennsyl
vania energy and skill and laid with
Pennsylvania iron, nntaxed, a privilege
denied to onr own. Why should the
inhabitants Of the "West use onr road un
. taxed while the citizens of Pennsylvania
.pay tribute. We pause for a reply.
Wd have already exhausted the space
at our disposal, but at an early day we pro
pose to recar to the subject again. Mean
while we ask our readers to give theit at
tention to the matter, as we have presen
ted it. It is s qumtUon deeply affeqtdng
Ae interests of all parties residing on or
near Ae line of the Pennsylvania Bail
&oad, and should be carefully con
sidered.

(and you) by naming the luxuries which we en

have been expected to have been provided by
Gen. Bell. During the afternoon: the writer’s

than usual on hearing the touching song of
“ The Flower of the Prairie” so admirably song
by a fair guest who was there! After a very

Messrs. Editors : — As a reader of, your jour
nal, I was gratified to see you suggest the name
of Col. W. M. Lloxd, of this county, fpr the re
sponsible position of State Treasurer. Col L.
is a gentleman of pleasing manners, beloved by
nil his fellow men who know himl, for his whole
souled liberality, and strict regard for honesty
and truth. His perfect familiarity with finan
cial matters, and his thorough business qualifi
cations, would render him peculiarly fitted for
the post. Ip these days, when men are not al
ways selected for important positions of this
kind on account of their high moral character
or private worth, the election of Col. Lloyd,
whose integrity and honor no man could doubt,
would be most fortunate to the people of the
State. Many good men have been, named but
I hope the Legislature will select the person
named above. This part of Pennsylvania, which
so nobly sustained the cause of the PEOPLE in
the late fight, will have claims for the office of
State Treasurer, certainly not surpassed by any
other portion of jtbe State. Let our Represen
tatives then urge; the of Mr. Lloyd, and if
elected .by the Legislature, neither they nor
the people of the : State will ever have cause to
regret it. ■ ; ' altoona:
A Bov’s Tongue Fastened to a Lamp Post.
—On Saturday a week, a little fellow about
eight yeans old, a son of Mr. Gilleau, booksel
ler, while playing with some other boys on
North street, approached a lamp post and care
lessly applxed'hm tongue to its gray-frosted sur
face, wheq in anunstaht, to the boy’s Nown'hor
ror and utter astonishment of Ms playmates, he
was held fast by phis tongue to the post, suffer
ing very severe pun, and totally unable to help
Or extricate himself Of course the boy could
not speak, and could only manifest bis feelings
by rigna with Ms bands. Various applications
of warm tea* steam, Were made by some
neigbbors, wbo heard the unusual noise made
by the other boyp, and came to, learn wfaat wos
the matter, but of ho avail; euoh was the action
of the cold iron that the hold was even getting'
tighter; when the boy’a father heard of the af
fair, and hastening to his relief, he took a knife
and whs obliged to out the tongue loose, leaving
its skin still fast to the post; and causing the
blood to flow very profusely. Immediately on
his release, the poor little fellow became insen

rpHE GCOBE—THE OFFICIAL PA-

the next session of Congress. The Daily Glebe will con
nun a report of the debates in both branchesJof Congress
as taken down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps of
short hand writers in this or aiiy other coahtry. When
the debates "of a day do not make more tban’4s columns,
they shall appear in the Daily Globe of the next morning,
which will contain also, the news of the day, together with
such editorial articles as may be suggested by passing
events. ,
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a
report of all the debates in Congress, revised by the speak

on a double royal sheet, la book form royal quarto size,
each number containing 1C pages avefagiug : 2397 words per
page. The whole will make between 1 1700 and 2000 pages.
1 1 is believed that no book has ever been published at so
low a rate. Last year I advertised in the Daily O lobe, for
six months, and in about one hundred other newspapers in
the U. S_ a reward of $225 to be paid to any person who
would produce a book published at so low a rote, and none
was produced. The largo number of copies subscribed tor
by Congress enables me to afford the debates to subscri
