We venture to say that there are few per
sons who would refuse to pay a small ex
tmtai, were It necessary to obtain such'
information. Asthe law now stands, only
a limited number of copies of the lawsare
printed for the use of Justice of the Peace,
Prothonotaries and other offices, and very
existehoeofalaw is a summons to v appear
add answer for its violation. 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. We
advise our readers' to. give the CoL a call when
they visit Philadelphia.”

On Friday last,; Mr. Chase offered the follow

Whereas, IP and by the twenty-second section of the act
entitled “ AUAct to incorporate the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company,” Approved the thirteenth day of April, A. D.,
184 G, it provided “ That all tonnage of whatsoever kind and
description, except the ordinary baggage passengers, loaded
or received it Harrisburg, Pittsburg, or at any intermediate
point, and carried or conveyed over sold railroad more than
twenty mileii between the tenth day of March and the first
day of December, in elich and every year, shall he subject
to a toll or doty for the use of the Commonwealth, at the
rate of five mills per mile Ibr each ton of two thousand
pounds;” Aim whereas, In and by the first section of the
act to incorporate the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,”
approved thOjtweuty-aeTonth day of March A. D. 1858, it is
-provided “That the tax oh tonnage of five mills per ton
par mile from thstenth day ofMarch to the first of December,
payable to thp State Treasury under the provisions of the
twenty-second sect! jn,of the act which this is a'snpplement,
.bo coinmuted to a tax of three mills per ton per muo dur
ing the whole year; said tax to cover all .freight carried
over the roiid more' than twenty miles, which said tax
was made payable by the said railroad company on the
thirtieth day-of July and tho.tenth day of December of eadh
year: And Whereas, There was doe to the Commonwealth,
from the said; Pennsylvania Railroad Company, on the 10th
day of December last. on account of said tax on freight
carried over (laid railroad,-about ninety thousand dollars,
which sum t)>o said company has neglected and refused to
pay: And whereas, The agreement on the part of said com
pany to pay itaid tonnage tax formed an essential jiart of
the contract between the Commonwealth and the Compa
ny ; Therefore,
Be it resolvedly the Senate and House of Representatives
of tlio CommqnwenUh ofPennaylvauia in General Assembly
met, That the Attorney General of this Commonwealth Is
hereby instructed to commence and prosecute, In the Su
preme Court of the, State, the necessary suit or suits to
ascertain whether the said Railroad Company, by its re
fusal aforesaid, has tot forfeited its chartered privileges,
and take «i; pecsssary.steps to procure A decree of forfeiture
in said suit dr waits so Instituted. »
Resolved, That the ; Auditor General ami State Treasurer
are hereby instructed to charge said Pennsylvania Rail
road Company at the: rate of five per cent per month for
any delay that may hereafter occur in the,payment of the
tonnage tax now over due, and at the same rate fur any
delay in tho payinent of the said tax which may hereafter
become due.;
I was hot aware before that the House had
any definite information in regard to the refusal
on the pirt of the Company to pay the tax.—
Lost week the Senate passed a resolution calling
upon the Treasurer for information in regard to
the matter, and yesterday a similar one was of
fered by IMr. Miller, calling upon the Auditor
General for information, afi follows
Resolved, -That thp Auditor General bo requested to in

quired of all -corporations under the provivions of the

to incorporsitp the. Pennsylvania canal and railroad com
pany, approved April 20, 1844; what amount of tax la
claimed to be due from said company ;
what portion ofthosald tax has been paid, and at what
period the said compaay commenced to pay-the some; and
further, what legislation, if any; is deemed necessary to
equalize taxation upon the capital stock of the various
corporal ions pf this Commonwealth.
Yesterday a bill was passed in tbe Senate in
corpoiatitg the Philadelphia Zoological Associ

ilar to those of Paris and London, where speci

world will bo on constant exhibition, for the in
struction and entertainment • of strangers and
visitors. There is no reason why such an insti
tution should not be as liberally patronized as
a theatre or an .Academy of Fine Arts.
Oil tha same day a bill WM passed to incor
