We may have a word to say on this subject again ; meantimc wo refer our readers to the bill ijp4uißh®d in .another column, simply sayinc that if this bill becomes a law, and the Rail Road mentioned agree to its provisions, a great advantage will be gained by all citizens fit our own -State, who ship or receive freight oyri these RQads,-ftnd wo.believe that the Co.’s Witt M'pmpfaAJTor meir]Bberaiiiy byan in hV'df <fowi^ ! tofihi*e, so that ill £artMi£in4be .wulfllkbefiiutimUy btmehtted.

Ignorance of the Jaw is no ezeuse, and the result is that manygood law-abiding citizens often get into.difficuiiy and are compelled to pay fines which wonld all have been avoided had they nbdeistood the law. , We are glad to perceive that Mr. Zoller> member from Allegheny county, has read a bill in place providing for the publica tion of all general laws in one or more newspapers in the various counties of the . commonwealth, and the publication of all local laws in the counties directly affected thereby; and we hope that the bill may pass at the present session without opposi tion. This measure has frequently .been advocated by the press of the Stete, and ought to have been adopted long since. States Union,Hotel, Pliilad’a. We endorse all that is said of the new Proprietor and the hotel in the fol lowing article ..which we copy from the Perry County ,Frepnan. Those of our friends who have heretofore patronized this Hotel will find their old friend, CK W. Hinkle, still on hand, who remains as superintendent: “Our fellow-townsman, CoL JauksW.Pow bb, for a couple of years a popular hotel-keeper in Bloomfield, haying leased the States Union llotbl, old “ Bod Lion,”) on Market street above Sixth, in Philadelphia, took possession of it as proprietor, manager and superintendent on last New Year’s day. This hotel has long been a favorite stopping place for , the .citizens of this county, who have been in the habit of visiting the “.Quaker City;” and under its present management it will doubtless possess increased attractions and accommodations. The “States Union” has been recently refitted in a superior manner, and aU the. modem improve ments’.and Iconveniences have been called into mqiusitioittd nmke it a most desirable place of sojoam to.the visitor and traveler. Col. Powbb, the host, is an active, energetic, agreeable gen tleman, always disposed to '.make guests com fortables and, .whilst his .table .will afford .the best gu&ty.pf provisions. the. market will af ford, and his beds, sleeping apartments, &c., shall be n?at and clean, he will, we trust, re ceive, as he will merit, a large share of public patronage, it Were useless to state—what is so .well.kpown.in this county—that Col. Powan is a gent!emaai>ad a man of substantial means, and has therefore the ability to do all he pro fesses. to do. The charge at ' the ?“*States Union n v is law, we believe $1,25 per day.
