Njiws mii m Capitol. —Wo have made arrangements with an excellent let ter writer, .now at the Capitol, whereby we shall receive a weekly letter, contain ing all matters of interest to the people of this locality,. which may transpires, up to ihe latest hour previous to our going to press. TJbe Tonnage Tax—NO. 3. We are pleased to see that our recent articles upon this important subject ore attracting a large share of attentum.among our contemporaries. The Pittsburgh Pdst —that ajax of Democracy in Western Pennsylvania, whose hold stand against the “foul fiend'” of repudiation in Alleghe ny county, has placed it in the front ranks of the press in this' country—publishes our first, article in full, a course followed by our spirited neighbor of the Tyrone Star, and also by that valuable journal, the Blairsvillc J?ecore£. There have prob ably been other Cases of this kind, but those oited, which have come under our immediate notice, are amply sufficient to show' that the people are at last awaken ing to a just, sense of the injurious char acter of the measure. . Nor can we won der at the wide circulation given to that article. Its contents were certainly of such a nature as to arrest the attention of the most unohserring. We therein ad vanced, and as we think, fully established, beyond the reach of successful controver sy, the following propositions : Ist. That the -Pennsylvania Kail Road Company, so far from paying the Ton nage Tax,'did not, in reality, one cent towards it. 2d. That the cntiyc amount of this 1 im ’post was levied and collected—in addition to the regular charges for transportation —from Local shippers, the Rail Road Company performing only the part of Col lector in abstracting from our pockets, to hand over to ,the State, the amount ne cessary to fulfill the requirements of the law. These faqta ■being admitted, and wc challengcany party to gainsay their cor rectness, it follows that the question of /re peal is pne in which the Rail Road Com pany is not directly interested in a pecu niary point of view., Is is only tb those who have the tax to pay, that it appeals with overwhelming force ; and beyond the shadow of .a doubt, our readers, it as you, and you alone who dp this. We have often wondered why the peol, pie of this portion of the State Mvb so long and so patiently consented to dole out to the Public (Treasury a quarter of ;a million per anpum over and above the: regular taxes Imposed upon, them in com mon with their fellow citizens of other parts of the State, and upon no oilier hy pothesis can wc account for this remarka ble fact than that of a total misapprehend sion, on their part, of the practical opera tions of this measure. Certain are wc, that an attempt to secure by a direct .tax what is here obtained by indirect means; would be resisted to the bitter end. There may be a distinction, but the difference can be but smaU, between advancing the cash, and paying an enhanced price, equal in amount, on our purchases,~and yet the whole matter stands precisely in this shape. Under these circumstances, ban there be any doubt as to the propriety of the repeal ? For our part wc must con fess that we can 'see no two sides to the question. To ns it appears self-evident that our best interests must inevitably be promoted by such action. , V S Indeed tve have heard hut one objection hjrged. in this quarter against immediate i/ry.petd. vizthat we have un satisfactory i guarantee thatif thb Tonnage Tax was abolished, the Bail Bead Companywould give to the local trade fall advantage of the act This we admit is an important point, and mt|st hot be overlooked. Anx ious as we axe to he relieved from a tax at onoe nnjustand oppressive, we are no less unwilling that the same should continue to be collected, only to be retained in the coffers of the .Bail Bead Company, instead of reaching ithe Public Treasury, as at present. Xf#e are compelled, ftr a time, still further to bear an extra shire of the State’s hardens, let our sacrifices at-least enrich the good old Commonwealth to which we are; all so much indebted. ; Butwebavea suggestion to inake that will, if adopted, remove the serious objec tion refered : toj it is this *—-let“ assurance he made doubly sure/’ by inserting a clause in the bill providing that if the Pennsylvania; Rail Boad Company will reduce tbeir present charges on all ship ments of Lodal freight, ail amount fully equal to the Tonnage Tax thereon, then, and in that case pnly, the’ Tax to be re pealed, otherwise, the apt tp he hull and void. Such a course would effectually guard against all deception cm this point There could be no doubt -then but what the entire benefit of the repeal would re vert directly to the local trade, v We .respectfully ask our brethren of the Press to give their attention to this sug gestion,; satisfied as we are, that it needs only to be understood to meet their uni versal approval. Our Legislature is now in session, and to it must we look for action. We trust that those representing constituencies di rectly interested in this matter, will see to it that their fellow znembers fully stand the question and that it is properly pressed upon their attention. Petitions should at once be put in circulation ah,d such an expression of public .opinion, made as will be heard in the Halls of Legislation. Let ps appear before the Legislature with a simple, yet earnest request that . we be relieved froin an unjust discrimination against us, and placed on an equality* trith other portions of the State. To doubt that prompt and favorable action wbuld. follow such ah appeal, would he to deny to our Legislators all sense of justice, and to attribute, to them a total .disregard of the equal rights of their fellow citizens, an estimate <jf their character we are by .no moans prepared to adopt.. On the con trary, we firmly believe, were the case so presented to them, their course would be; such as to fully justify the confidence re posed, and commend them to the* friends of just and equal taxation throughout the State. Contested at Harrisburg. We are informed by Mr. Hall, of this place, that Mr. Proudfdot, the People’s candidate for Representative, in Cambria' county, at the last fall’s election, is con- the seat of Mr. Porter, who got the certificate, on the ground of the fraud ulent\yoto returned as having been cast for Porter in Washington township. Ry throwing'the vote of that, township out,' Mr. Proudfodt is elepted. If the Legisla ture take the skmevietf of the matter ihaf Judge Taylor did}\and we can not see hqyf"' any honest -ipan, viewing the facts with out prejudice, 'can do so, they will send Mr* Porter home\ahd admit Mr. Prdudfoqt, trho unqucstiohably received the majority of legal votes oast in Cam bria county, last October. Let this fraud be laid open ito the bone. Whether Mr. Porter had anything to do with it oKndt, and we by no means say he had, he is not entitled to retain his seat: and should be permitted, to, if elected hy fraudulent votes. We believe Mr. Porter resides in Washington township, the scat of the ini quity State TiiAsuaßß. —in the distribu tion of thw different officers by the House of Representatives at Harrisburg, this por-- i tipn of thejstatc received nothing. lYe before remarked that the interior eo>un* ,ties of the;| State gave a larger increased' vote fpr tbg People’s candidates, at the late election, than any other part of it, in proportion to th§ vote cast. Why they should ‘ have been treated so shabbily we can not see.. The Legislature can, howev er, make this all right, if they elect Wm. M. Lloyd, of this county, State Treasu rer. What particular claims Union Coun ty, which has been backsliding hands of Locofocoism gradually, for sdr oral years [past, lean have or present for this office, fare to ns unknown. In point of capacity, honesty and popularity, Mr. Lloyd stands at least equal to any gen ! tleman named for this post. We again say we hope- that the Legislature will overlook the “ outside pressure,” and as an act, of justice and reward of merit, make him pur next State Treasurer. I®* We will publish some extracts from the <royftnor’A-Message, nexb week: , 4 We must confess that we were con siderably disappointed in our expectations in regard to the result of the election for Speaker of the House of Representatives. We felt confident that Col. MoClhre would be the man, and the close vote in Oauons shows that we had goodixeason to predict his selection. Nothing: but the weighty outside pressure which was brought to bear against bun on the by e of the caucus, turned the scales against him.. The Speak* or elect, C. A. Lawrence, is a young man of more than Ordinary ability and ex perience for one of his age, and will make a popular presiding officer. We-bare no fault to find against him, although our sympathies were all with his competitor, ,on ;the score of " auld acquaintance.” In the Senate, Hon. John Cfesswell, of this county, whose name we mentioutd in con nection with the post of Speaker, wos the successful aspirant, and we predict that he will make a capital officer. If the House did act ungratefully towards the meritorious applicants from “Littleßlair” for different positions, such as Sergeant-at- Arms and Assistant, Transcribing Clerks, &c., we are pleased to know that the Sen ate recognizes her claims and gives, her two officers. - Important Decision —An important decision has just been pronounced by Judge Davie, in the Supreme Court, in New York City, in an action brought by Mr. Isaac Sherman against the American Express Company, to recover the price of a number of Michigan State Bonds, which were lost by the Company while carrying them from Buffalo to Detroit. — The Judge decided that the Company is a common' carrier, and must accordingly pay for the Bonds. It appears to us that this decision is as truly in the interest of the defendant as in that of the plaintiff.— If it should be settled that express com panies are not answerable for goods left with them for transportation, their busi ness wduld at once suffer a serious dimin ution. Their profits depend on the pub lic belief in their responsibility. Fatal RailkoaD Accident. —We learn from the Baltimore Patriot that on Wednesday afternoon last, as an engine and tender was running down the North Central Railroad, while passing a curve near Mel vale station, the engineer ob served a man upon the track a short dis tance ahead. The whistle was sounded and the engine reversed. The man paid no attention to the signal and the engine could not be stopped until it had passed over him. On examination afterwards, it was ascertained from cards in his posses sion that his name was M. Preuss, and \ * that he was deaf and dumb- ■*, Changed Hands. —We learn from the Patriot and Union of Tuesday, that the office of the Pennsylvanian has been pur chased by Dr. Morwitz, who also owns the leading German paper of Philadelphia.— Hon., Nimrod Strickland, a gentleman weli known to the Democracy of this State, will have charge of the editorial department.

Gkmtliuxk:— Your omission, lost week, has left you so far ou the background, 'that I doubt the propriety of giving you a fulUdetailof the organization of both Houses, since it is more than probable that a majority o? your readers arc already booked up. ■ , ! The, Senate organized on Tuesday of last week, by the election of your Senator, Col. Jno. Cresawell, as Speaker; W. H. Kilter, ae Clerk; and F. M. Hutchison, as Assistant. On Wed nesday, Maj. Snyder, of your county, was elec ted Sergeant-at-Arms. The House was organized on the same day, by the election of W. C. A. Lawrence, of Dauphin, ofl Speaker. The contest betwaenhim and Col, McClore was A most animated ono, and would not have resulted as it did, had not Gen. Camc on, and one or two other prominent men in the party, thrown the entire weight of their politi cal influence into the scale in favor of Law rence. The' election of Clerk resulted in the choice of S. J. Rea, of Philadelphia This was the result of a commercial transaction on the part of the Philadelphia delegation. Jndson Holcomb, of Bradford, was elected Assistant— He was an aspirant for the Chief Clerkship, and only defeated in caucus by four votes. The greater part of last week was spent—that is, between meeting hours—in caucusing by'the opposition ; and at the time t write all the offi cers ore not ybt elected, although in nomination —which is equivalent. There were five applicants for minor positions from Blair county—and all unsuccessful. Tijis was not the fault of Mr. Burley, Who done his best to get a position for at least ono of his neigh bors, but be scorned to secure such an cud by any kind of bargain' and ssle. ; Was be not right? The Governor's Message is highly spoken of by all parties, save the i ultra Lecomptonitcs, and' the Reports of Heads of Departments are satisfactory, showing the good pld Common wealth to be in a sound and prosperous condi tion. The office question settled in tffb House, tho next agitation wilPbe on the State Treasurer. There are so many aspirants that it is a risk to venture an opinion as to who has the inside track. If Mr. Lloyd wishes to make any head way, he bad better he here in person. It is a very nice arrangement .to have ope's friends to work, but I maintain that there is nothing like being “on hand.’* Taggart, Slifcr, Struthers, Sowther, Henderson, Power and Jones are here, and all working like bearers. It is hardly ne cessary for mevto assure you that the office is a bone worth picking, and consequently worth contending for. s lu the way of Legislation, nothing has yet been' done of a local nature, and in. fact not much of a general nature that: would interest your readers. A bill was passed in ibe .HodSe, last week, for the. abolition of the Canal Board, : ?; 1 which came up in the Senate) yesterday and gave nsc to a lengthy debate. There are still some claims to pass. To-day Mr. Fraier will take his seat in the he will re main until the Senate takes final action on the bill, which will be in a few days ht furthest. Bill* for the passage of a general Banking Law have been introduced in Houses, but neither will .pass—nor in fact any| Banking Law. There will be no tinkering the currency this session. J " In the Senate to-day, the bill passed by the House for the abolition of the Cabal Board, was taken np, and after considerable debate itwas referred to the Committce on i’iuonce. This will give the Board a chance examine tome claims still pending. In the mjantime, Fraser hai taken his seat, and It wheth er they will he legislated out of bffibemneh be fore the session,ends.
