AnsounNmENT.---The Pennsylvania
Legislature has passed a resolution to
adjourn dually on the 11th of April.
VETO.—Read Governor Geary 'S V OLO
of the bill to confer unlimited powers
on the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
* CAN ' T MIX---Tho Washington Star
complains that the white voters of the
city do not register their names under
the recent act of Congress, which al
lows negroes to vote. The Star thinks
it is a sly way of showing resentment
to the action of Congress.
JAB...The Pittsburgh Commercial says
that "as soon as the President either
signs or rejects the supplemental re
construction bill Congress will adjourn
till next fall. It is woary, and so is
Congress
Da-Gov. Geary has signed the act
requiring railroad and railway compa
nies to carry all passengers, without
distinction of color. This bill, although
more pertinent to Philadelphia, where
city cars are run, is also applicable to
other railroads of the Commonwealth.
We will publish the bill when received.
Edward EL Ropes, United States
Consul, in a letter to Secretary Seward,
records the death of Dr. David Living
ston, the African explorer. While ma.
king another exploration, he and his
party were attacked in a bush coun
try by a band of Mavlte. Dr. L. kill
ed the most forward of the attacking
party, but was surrounded and cut
down by one blow of a battle-axe,
which cut half through his nook. Al
most all those who stood by Dr. L.
were killed, although they did consid
erable with their rifles. This happen.
ed about October 25th. Thus ended
the life of ono who had done much in
developing the resources of the region
of Africa, and given much valuable in•
formation regarding the portions which
he was the first to explore.
THE KANSAS LIQUOR LAW.—The
Legislature of KansaS has passed a li
quor taw, allowing any person to make
application for license who can procure
the signatures of a majority of the in
habitants of the city, borough or town
ship in which he resides, male and fe
male, over the ago of twenty-ono. We
do not know bow this law will do in
Kansas, but if such a law was put in
force in this State, we think it would
be very difficult to procure majorities
of the signers, as the females are bit
terly opposed to liquor sellers, and
who has a bettor right to be opposed
to them ? They are the ones who are
compelled to suffer most from tho
abuse of the liquor law, and they
should certainly have a voice in say
ing whether liquor should be sold and
who should sell it.
PtioatiEss.—Mr. Mann, a member of
the Legislature of this State, from Pot
ter county, offered the following am
endment to the supplemental charter
of the Academy of Music, pending in
the Reuse of Representatives:
That all churches, public assemblies,
-theatres, and opera houses, shall be
open to all classes, without distinction
of color, and every officer or employee
interfering with any person, without
distinction of color, from occupying
-any seat in snob hurch, theatre, or
opera house, such person or persona so
offending, upon conviction thereof,
shall undergo an imprisonment in the
county prison of . not less than six
months, nor more than two years, and
the corporation whose agent or em
ployee bath so offended shall pay a
fine of not less than five hundred dol
lars, nor more than .one thousand dol.

FROM CONGRESS,
Negro Suffrage in the North
March 23.—Mr. Wilson, of Massachu•
setts, introduced the following, which
was ordered to be printed :—"A Bill
to .Regulate the Executive Franchise
in the United States."
Whereas, The fourteenth article of

The Bill to Confer Unlimited Powers
on the Palma, Railroad Company.
VETO OF GOVERNOR GEARY.
The Bill Passed Over the Veto in the
Senate.
ILtatusnutto, March 20.—The most
important feature of to-day's proceed
ings was the following veto message
from the Governor. It has created
more talk hero than any thing of the
kind this winter:
THE GOVERNOR'S VETO.
EXECUTIVE CLIA.MBER 7
ILARMSBUII(I, Aiareil 20, 'V.
To Me Senate and House of I?epresen
tatives of the Cont/tom/ma/tit of .Penn
sylvania:
GENTLEMEN :—Tho net entitled "an
act to repeal an act entitled a further
Supplement to the act incorporating
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
authorizing an increase of capital
stock, and to borrbw money, approved
the twenty-first day of March, one
thowiand eight hundred and sixty-six,
to authorize the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to increase the capital stock,
to issue bonds and to secure the same
by mortgages," has received that care
ful consideration from me, which the
importance of the subject seemed to
.a=r-irign
respect I entertain for the two branch
es of the Le,,,, , istature, and the extreme
reluctancel have at any time to differ
with them, I am induced by my con
victions .of duty to dissent from the
propriety of the provisions of the bill,
and to return it with my objection to
the Senate in which it originated. Lest
my opinions should. be misconceived
and misrepresented, I deem it duo to
myself to make a brief exposition of
some of the enactments of the Legisla
ture for the benefit of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company since the origi
nal act for its incorporation, approved
April 13, 1846, so far as it relates to its
capital stock.
Growth of its Capital Stock.
By the first section of the ael of in
corporation, the capital stock was fix
ed at seven millions five hundred thou
sand dollars. By the act approved
April 23d, 1852,the capital stock was in
creased to thirteen million dollars;
May 6th, 1852, to fourteen million dol
lars ; March 23d, 1853, to eighteen mil
lion dollars; May 2d, 1855, to twenty
million dollars, and March 2d, 1866, to
Witty million dollars.
The Governor's Sense of Duty
With no other objects in my heart
than to be serviceable to my country,
to preserve and transmit unsullied the
great principles and true policy of our
Government, and honorably to perform
the trusts, duties, obligations and re
sponsibilities committed to my charge,
I proceed in the performance of these
objects as I understand them. lam
sincerely friendly to all the railroads
and other companies that have aided
iu the development of the wealth and
resources of the State, and while I
cheerfully accord the same sentiment
to your honorable bodies, 1 can but re
gret that there should be any difference
of opinion between us on the proposed
enactment. And if in stating the ob
jections I shall use expressions which
may. be regarded as too strong, my
apology will, I trust, be fbund in the
importance of the subject. I will state
there frankly . and with as much brevi
ty as possible.
His Reasons
Waiving objections to the first see.
Lion of the bill under consideration, and
waiving also an inquiry as to the legal
rights to thus authorize the change of
the fundamental law of a corporation,
and bind the stockholders, . I proceed to
the consideration of the second, which
confers powers of the most extraordi
nary character upon the directors of
the company, "providing further Moil•
hies required by the increase of the
business upon the road, and its con.
neetionis, and for such other purposes
connected with the business as the
board of directors of said company
may deem expedient, it shall be lawful
for the said board of directors front
time to time to issue additional shares
of capital stock of said company to
such amount as they may determine,
and to apportion or dispose of the said
shares in such manner and upon such
terms as they may think best, and also
for other or all of the said purposes to
issue from time to time bonds of the
said company, payable at such time as
they may appoint."
One of the objects of this bill is for
its further increase of the capital stock
to retire its present indebtedness,
which, according to the president and
directors' last annual report to the com
pany, is upwards of twenty-six mil
lions dollars. Thus, in this way, alone
increasing the stock over one hundred
and thirty per cent., and making it
amount to over forty-six millionsdol
tars.
But this is not all. It further in
tends to increase the business facilities
upon its . road and connections, and for
such other purposes connected with its
business us the directors may deem ex
pedient. Wore this bill to become a
law, to.what amount may. not the di
rectors extend the capital stock with
such unliMited privilege? To what
branches of business shall it bo confiu
ed, and to what may it not extend,and
whore is the power to keep within its
legitimate functions if it should deem it
proper to depart from them ? Its Lee
n:tendons power in irresponsible hands
would be unlimited, and uncontrolable
by any power short of revolution. It
has already -obtained in the various
chartered privileges the preoccupancy
of nearly every possible railroad route
in Pennsylvania, with the privilege of
branches and lateral roads in a large
majority of the counties. As shown by
official reports, it has besides nearly
eleven hundred miles of roads in Penn
sylvania, its extensions to Marietta,
Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, and to
Chicago, Illinois, and holds large and,
in some instances, controlling interests
of stock in other railroad companies.
When such extraordinary powers
are attempted to be granted for an un-.
limited period, I consider it contrary
to the spirit and intention of our insti
tutions, The present Directors, it may
be assumed, aro honorable gentlemen,
for they assert they have good inten
tions for the public interest, as well 48
for those of the Company. But time
may effect a change and a new Board
that may not recognize their duty to
the stockholders and the rights and in
terests of the people, and, forgetting
their patriotism, might be found ar
rayed against the country when its
services were required. It is not an
impossible hypothesis, that its capital
stock might be extended to ono thou
sand millions of dollars or even to an
amount equal to the present national
indebtedness. The whole control of
the institution and of the issue of its
bonds necessarily lie in the hands of a
few Directors, and not in those of the
stockholders whose real interests
should be represented.
The facilities with which any board
of directors could perpetuate power in
its own hands, might be an inviting
temptation to monopolize or engross a
sufficient number of shares of stock by
purchase and proxies from nonresi
dents given, or perhaps by fraud issu
ed, to control the vote of the stockhold
ers. The same board might, by fair
means, thus be perpetuated, or by a
dexterous mixing or misrepresenting
of accounts, with not much risk or ro
' sponsibility on their part, might fraud
ulently control forever the affairs of the
company.
In my opinion,the stockholders them
selves, who, like the people in our own
fbrm of Grovernmentairc the true source
of power, should closely examine into
the responsibilities just presented, if
they would preserve and perpetuate
their own rights within the corpora
tion. lem not aware of any instance
wim, , c---0-company bas been destroyed
by the immediate action of its stock'-
holders, but where too much power
has been placed in the hands of direc
tors and officers of reckless; speculative
and adventurous characters, the in
stances of failures and disgrace aro al
most innumerable.
In all the bearings which can be ta
ken upon this measure, in the event of
the directory of the road passing into
the hands ofambitious and unscrupulous
men, I can see nothing butan eventual
monopolization of all the railroad priv
ileges of this State, and perhaps of the
United States, and such other purpo
ses connected with its business as the
board of directors of said company may
doom expedient. They being their
own judges, what might not be con
sidered connected with their business?
May not any and ajmost every branch
of industry, manufficturin., agricultu
ral and commercial be included? There
is danger, too, that with such vast
power, such ramification in the busi
ness departments of the country, and
such unlimited capital, there might be
reason to tremble for the purity and
sanctity of our elections, or what is
equally as bad, that our G-overnors,
legislators and other State authorities,
might be affected with the blandish
ments of its power, its offices and its
wealth. They could make the rich
richer, and the poor poorer. They
could in a word make their organiza-
Lion a monopoly—a term which a dis
tinguished jurist and law giver defines
to be "that which grinds the people be
tween the upper and nether mill
stones," and its power would become
so groat that should any citizen, or
oven an officer of the Government, at
tempt to restrain it within its charter
ed limits, and proper franchises, he
would be made to feel its withering in
fluences. There is always danger in
the creation of monopolies, for in pro
portion as they are increased, aro the
rights of the citizen abridged.
Ilad such a proposition been made
in the early days of the Common wealth,
or oven a quarter of a century ago, or
when the company applied for its char
ter, it would have been rebuked by the
people without distinction of party,up
on its first annunciation. I ant not
inimical to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, but I am positively its
friend. I honor the management for
the energy displayed in the share they
have taken,with others, in the develop
ment of our State, and am determined
that it and all other corporations shall
be protected and defended in all their
rights, privileges and franchises, al
ready derived or that may hereafter
be derived from legislative action.
But when they ask for unlimited pri
vileges, which can and may be used
as engines to threaten and control the
interests and perhaps the very action
of the ' , government by absorption of
our internal improvements, in every
branch of industry within this State,
and the holding of many thousands of
our people in a dependent condition,
they mint be refused. It is stated that
corporations have had unlimited pow
ers conferred upon them, and no evils
have resulted, but as far as such cases
have boon cited, I find upon examina
tion they were almost without excep
tion conferred upon the stockholders,
on terms and limitations and not upon
the directors, and if there were such,
and they wore known to be wrong in
principle, it is ono of the best and
strongest reasons why the practice
should be discontinued.
If it is right that the Legislature
should confer unlimited powers upon
one institution, it has a right to multi
ply seek corporations at its pleasure,
and if they should be managed by
those whose predilections and inter
ests would be similar, the control of
the Commonwealth would be irretriev
ably committed to their hands, and
the sovereignty would depart from
the people. If it is deemed necessary
for the proper management of the
Company that its capital should be in
creased, let it be done as horotafore
requested by them, gradually by the
Legislature, just as the necessity for
such increase can he clearly demon
strated, and after duo notice that it
is intended to make application for
such increase of capital and then only
at the request of the stockholders.
Prior to the late election, I found
among the people throughout the
State that the important question of
railroads, in all its shaped and guises,
could not be properly ignored. It was
regarded as a matter of such para.
mount importance that pledges were
asked of the - Gubernatorial candidates,
and certain interrogatories addressed
them, to which answers wore required.
One of the interrogatories addressed
to myself was in these words, viz
"Will you, if elected Chief Magistrate '
of Pennsylvania, faithfully exert the
power of your Administration to de
feat
any and every attempt made by 1
legislation or otherwise, for the mon
opoly and control by any one corpora—
tion of the railroad policy of the State?"
To which I, in good faith, replied that
while I believed it to be improper to
bring the influence of the Executive
Department to bear upon the Legisla
tive, in anticipation of its action, I am
heartily opposed to the creation daily
monopoly of the railroad eyotom of
the State,!or giving any artificial body
created by the law powers which
would place place it above and beyond
the reach of the Legislature, and in
my reply I further stated that "the
spirit of monopoly in this and other
matters should be discouraged in a re
publican government, and I have no
sympathy with any policy which may
be designed for its encouragement.'
And in speaking of railroad companies,
I further remarked : "While these
corporations continue to act their part
as public servants, they should be care•
fully protected. They should not be
permitted to overstep their legitimate
function. As creatures of the taw,
they should obey and be in every re
spec3 subservient to the law."
In accordance with the doctrines
thus pronounced, the public have ren
dered their verdict, and expect of mo
a strict compliance with the pledges
then given. Those aro not now doe
trims of principles. They were fear
lessly enunciated in the incipient part
of the campaign, and were discussed
freely by the people, by the press, and
by public speakers throughout the
I
State. I feel that I am solemnly bound
to coey thoso pledges, and I have, no
deshe or intention to endeavor to dis
obey them. The people may rest sat
idio and assured that neither thiS nor
any nher pledge given them when I
was taking their suffrages, shall be
violated, That the people have an
indisputable and inhoren t right to in.
struol their piiblic servants, and to
moult and- fashion their institutions
to se. themselves, no one believing in
a ropthlican form of Government will
for a noment pretend to deny, and I
believe the correlative obligation that
those folding office are bound to obey
is equally true. These instructions
were conveyed to mo in the best possi
ble modetbrough the ballot box.
Viewing this question without preju
dice, to man can doubt that our citi
zens are earnestly opposed to the grant.
ing to corporations any unlimited pow
ers which may be converted into mo
nopolies, and which cannot be held
subservient to the Legislature and to
the true interests of the State. A so
licitous regard, therefore, for truth and
justice has impelled mo to the course I
have taken upon the subject, and with
the full assurance that I have doco ply
duty, I herewith return the bill with
out my signature. JOHN W: GEARY.
The Bill Passed
The bill authorizing the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company to increase its
capital stock, borrow Money, &c.,
which Gov. Geary vetoed was passed
over his head in tho Senato by the
following vote;

lllarch 22.—Tho bill allowing the
Directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company to increase indefinitely,
and without consulting the stockhold
ers, the:stock and bonded indebted
ness of the,,COMpally, Sailed, entirely,
the Rouse not passing it over the Go
vernor's Veto.
A now bill was then introduced, lim
iting the enlargement of stock to fif
teen millions of dollars,`and requiring
that the consent and direction of the
stockholders be first given before any
new stook whatever shall be issued.—
The bill was made to conform in all
respects to the principles laid down in
the Governor's veto.
The new bill passed both Houses,
'received the signature of the Gover
nor, and is a law.
FROM WASHINGTON.
March 22.—Senator Wilson's con
current resolution providing that if
Jeff. Davis cannot be tried at once,
that he be released from confinement,
introduced to-day in the Senate, meets
with some favor in both houses, but
can hardly be passed in its present
shape. A substitute to release him on
bail, it is believed, will be readily
adopted.
March 23.---The President's veto
message of the Supplementary Recon
struction bill was read in the House
immediately on its being received.
The President objects generally to the
provisions of the bill, and especially to
those relating to registry, no person
being permitted to vote whose name
is not recorded. He says, as the pro-
liminaries to holding conventions aro
under martial law and conducted by
the commanding officers, and as there
is no appeal from the registry, those
in control of it may so act as to pre
vent the election of such delegates as
may faithfully represent the wishes
and sentiments of the State in Con
vention, to be called to frame now
Constitutions. No Consideration could
induce him to give his approval to
such an .pleCtion law. Ho speaks of the
reconstruction , bill and this supplemon.
taryone, as establishing under martial
law military coercion, and as making
political disfranchisement. Ho then
refers to the remarks of Daniel Web
ster against millitary governments
founded on force, and mock elections
and takes occasion to reiterate his
views heretofore expressed in relation
to the restoration of the Union, ex
pressing the hope that eventually all
the States will be admitted to enjoy
the rights under the Constitution.
Outrages in Schuylkill County,
HAnanmunci, March 22.---Private ad•
vices from Schuylkill county, Penn
sylvania,represent that the coat minors
there are committing the most serious
outrages. The ruffians (mainly Irish
men and known as the "Molly Ma,
guires") are banded together in a se
cret organisation for the purpose of
controlling the mines, and resort to
murder. It is impossible to punish
them, as, when arrested and tried, the
juries aro packed with confreres and
they escape. On Friday last Mr. Lit
tlehales, a superintendent, was mur
dered with the hope of securing some
money which ho was supposed to have,
but he had very little at the time.—
Threats aro made against all the su
perintendents, and all live momentari
ly in fear of violence. Governor Geary
has been applied to for protection.
Toombs has returned to Geor
giu from n self-imposed exile.
A new License Law,
The following bill, regulating the
granting of licenses, has passed both
houses finally, and will become the law
on which future licenses will have to
be granted. It is important that all
application for license at the April
