in Harrisburg:, betore Judge Peaison,
dug the right 01 the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania to impose a tax on tonnage trans
ported over the Pennsylvania Central Rail
Road. It will be remembered that the Rail
Road Company some months ago'refilsed to
pay this tonnage tax, alleging . that it wa3
imposed contrary to the 'previsions of the
constitution of the United States. Last
spring an opinion was published. sustaining'
the Company in the position it had taken,
signed by Hon. Win. M. Meredith, Theodore
Cnyfttr, Esq., and lion. John J. Cpttenden
The Auditor (general of Pennsylvania deci
ded that the tax must be paid, and-for the
parings° of testing the gegalitiof it, suit
was brought in the Dauphin County Court
The Commonwealth was represented by
Attorney (general Knox and St. George
Tucker Campbell, , and the Rail Road
Company by Theo. Cuyler, Esq and Ed
Stanton, Esq., of Washington City. The
arguments, which are said to have been
very able! were closed yesterday, when
Judge Pearson delivered a l'engthy, °Libor

The Late Shooting Affair in Now Or

Wrote the K 0 TVA Delta of Aug 29th ]
An unfortunate elimittng affray occurred at
the Charity or rattier in front of it
between two well know n city ph) sietans.
ti Choppiii and Or Foster. the former one
of the vi+itiog phtxrrtans of the flospital,
and the lattir a surgeon of the Name melt
tuition An enmity of coienderatily lon t r,
standing has existed between these gentle
men the cause of which is tali our proviove

Wlll3 The immediate circuit,. anon of the
affair may he briefly told, though as may
readily he supposed, when we pre an se
-I.ollllt of it frill the best Inform , thin we can
get, nnmc Variation Is to be looked for with
e.rtaiiity.
Due version of the affair to that Dr Chop
pm had mil COlllO out froin the IL/spit/0 and
was standing on the banquette preparatory
to g. wog tutu his buggy, when, oil tomtit,
round lie sow Dr Foster --who, at the time
was talking somewhat angrily with the clerk
of the- llospital—looking at him . not in a
friendly manner, as may lie supposed from
their pievimiti relations. Dr Choppin asked
him who he was looking at. The other re
plied he was looking at him, and at thetuame
moment cotnmenced drawing a weapon!--
Or. Olioppin, Beeing it wass peatol,
ly drew a , wiapon of the same sort. Dr.
Foster immediately fired. and the Brat ball
took effect in 1/r, Uhoppin's neck, parairsing
his arm and preventing him from cooking
his pistol properly which went olf in his
hind, the liullet from which just raised the
skin from his left, hand. Dr. Foster fire ,
threeshots more- , vine of them entering Dr.
Utioppiii's abdomen, but which, wo believe.
passed round by the side without penetra-
I t ing the body.
We understand that the cider difference in
the accounts are in relation to the drawing
or, the pistol, one version being that Dr.
Folds? draw his revolver first, and the other
that Dr. Uhoppin drew his pistol, first.
Both Dr. Choppin's wounds are conindered
rather perilous. not neoeilliarily so, but from
the parts of thefiedj taialebed by the balls.
Dr. Foster, a few - Niigata" after the occur
relics, was arrested iry officers McFarland
and Dean, and during die evening wits Con
' veykil to the Parish 'Neon by the Chief Of
theiPolice.
At sit lalelieur last night Dr. Choppiu watt_
doing as well' as could be anticipated. It
was asoertaitted that the hall that entered the
neat had toutilied the Jugular vein. The
danger to be apprehended from tha other%
wound wee in regard•to the ball touohing the
