BT COL. WALTKU V. DUNLAP, The night set in cold and rainy, and instead pf riding over to Shreveport, to get what there might be in the post-office for us, we sat down 4n mammy ’ssitting-room, and there called upon Uncle Abner for the story ho had'promised ua. Thoslioollng of the rigcr-cat hod put him in mind of an adventure which he said he would : ' relate \o us on the first opportunity ; and what 1 tyiporfunity mbre fitting than shdh tm evening in such a place ? “Well, boys,” said tllObld nttt'rt,ttnodking the ashes from his pipe, and putting it on the, Tittle shftlf where he kept it, “I’ll (ell you a hit of adventure I once had above Calcutta a bit.

Our captain had engaged hep lo go after Irish’ water. About ten mile* above Hoogly—and I don’t know but it may be more—there was a fine stream of wa ter, and there we were going, intending to be gone over ono night. Our first mate, a stout, good-hearted fellow named Bill Gillot, was lo take charge, and Sam \VilHs, Jack Springer, awfonysclf, tferoio accompany him. ‘ We got ourguna and pistols aboard Ihclight cr—for ye see, there were likely to bo robbers about wherever Americans or Europeans ven tured off in small parties—and having put our .bedding and' provisions in, wo made sail up the river. .Wo bbda fair wind, and by noon we reached’ thb'mbulh'bf tho stream, up which wo ■Were Itfgot bur'water. It was quite a little river, coming fn frohV llvd north *rd and wcsl'rd, and os wo turned into it wo could feel that .it vjfcs cooler and' sweeter than the water of the •Hoogly. . „ 1 About foubmilctf up Ms earn'd (d'lhti camp tllfl llhtiVc Wntci'-ddVners were in tliohab- It of slopping, and here wb came to. and made fast* Some forty or fifty feet back from tho hnhk <MV the.edge of a thick,’dWp'jbnglc, there vros a spring which sent out water cnou'gh 16' supply quite a stream* -It was at this spring Wo ntWift. tdgot cutwater; and as soon os all was wo set our natives at u’orlt Carrying tho buckets: to and from 'the lighter* we filling them ot tho spring. .. f , As wo five cohld fill much faster than the porters could carry, and as it was not in tho contract that tvo should lug water under the hot sun, Uillot and I left the other three filling, while we went to explore the jangle. But we did not go a great way. Tho reeds were so thick ami. sjout that we could with difficulty make our way among them ; and, in fact, we could not, save where a Sort of path hkdf alrea dy been beaten. While we were in there tho tnato made some remark about tho tiger. The very soupd of tho monster's nama was enough .to make mo tremble* : When wo returned wo asked the natives if tigers wero ever seen -about In that iiclchbor ‘hoodl They said they had never seen ono ’though there had been tracks found upon the edge of tho soring, which Wero . supposed to Imvo been tnaao by tliotigcr. The oldest of tho Indians, and tho ono .who hired all tho others, said ho had been engaged in work that had call ed him lo this spring -more or less for fifteen years; but ho had never seen any tiling that looked liko tho animal in question. • Most of tho people .of. this country have a fpistaken idea of tho tiger. 1 Tho.few specimens Which hayo been carried around to show arc fiat much like tho real Royal Tiger of Bengal. There arc certainly three sorts cf tigers, and they vary in size os well as in > color. Tho smaller kind havo lbc same general Characteris tics, and are colored after tho same pattern as tho larger ones; but tho colors arc not so bright. Tho Iloyal Tiger has i a yellow ground lo his skin, and then the stripes aro a beautiful black, running over the back, imd down tho Bides, about hi tho same coined with tho ribs. But it is with regard to tho size of tho animal that there is tbo, most mistake.

I might have hesitated' about believing this had' F not seen* onb myself. BY JOHN B. BRATTON. VOL, 44. ’nearly twice as large os I supposed,they ever grew. You dan imagine something, of the strength of such an animal* It is very fortunate that they arc scarce, fpr thfir destructiveness la be yond all precedent. They kill for tlio mere sake of killing. Let one of them mako his way among a herd of cattle, and ho wiU Uill without eating a morsel while : thcre is a living animal to be seen. While Ih'ey can got blood they will not taste flesh. They do not eat to appease their hunger only; they eat to gorge themselves; They will gulp down jblood while they can stand. It is said by those who best under stand their habits that they love’ human flesh more than anything else; and will leave the blood of any animal .for a man. Such taste as that, though it may flatter humanity, I must say I fail to admire or appreciate. When night came we hauled our lighter into the middle of the stream, and (hen turned in. When we awoke in the morning one of the na tives said had heard a low, howling noise daring lho night, not far off. At one time he thought it was a tiger, and was upon the point of arousing us; but as he listened more atten tively it sounded nearer like the yelping of a dog, and he concluded to let us sleep. As soon as wo had eaten our breakfast we hauled our lighter to the uhore, and commenced work. The sun had gothigh enough to throw down.an uncomfortable heat, when I plainly hcard'a crashing tnd distant part of Che jungle, and in a few moments more one of the natives started the cry : • “ The Tiger I The Tiger! 11 In all the various sounds of earth I doubt if there is another which can strike such terror to the souls of the natives of that country ns docs that cry. No sooner did it break upon the air than (he rest of tlio Indians took it up, and at the same lime rushed for (ho lighter. They had just gained it and wo who stood beneath the awning which had.been spread over the spring, were about to follow, when a low, deep cry, like the snarl of a cat a thousand times multi plied in volume and depth, broke upon our cars, and on the next instant a dark object came, with a sort of blurring sensation, licforo our cycs. # We started back, and as soon as I could fairly look I saw a huge tiger crouching upon the nard sand about half way between us and the boat! lie was gazing upon tho natives. They knew bis habits well enough not to run any further then. They bad gained the bows of the light er only, when the tiger leaped from the jungle, and the cuddy, or litile cabin, was in the after part. They knew if they turned to seek that place (he monster would leap upon them ; so they stood hi a body and faced him; while ho lay' in a crouching posluro, with his tail lashing the sand, and his claws gathering for a spring. We had taken our guns up with us to the spring ; for the report qf the .native who *md heard the noise in the night served lo put us on our guard. Tho pieces were common heavy muskets, and we had loaded them with two bul lets cijch. We seized thcm.ps quickly ns possi ble, but there was a difficulty fit tfteway of our firing. The tiger was directly between us and the natives 1 Tho placo where we stood was some feet higher than the shore, and the place where the monster was crouched was in a di rect line with the bows of tho boat. A ball passing through life, body from one of our guns would if lb kept on in a straight line, Strike the natives nt tho breast. It was very evident that no lime was to bo lost, and 3’ct our best course was not cosily de cided. However,'Ve were just upon the point of moving oround so os to bring tiger out from that fatal range.,when I noticed that tho na tives were not only conversing eagerly, but were also changing their positions. I saw that they were up to some plot, but what it was I could not tell. They saw how we wero situated with regard to firing, and hence they Scetotd to have studied for tlrcmstlvfcs. Presently one of them spoke to . ‘Tho tiger means for leap at us! lie looks fine) If wo got stVords and guns ! He find no— lib leap. When you sco him on thc-boat- you fire! Fire at him — l ’ • The Indian probably meant t6' tell u 5 where to aim, but that moment a movement in anoth er quarter arrested his attention. They had each gained a position lo suit, and then watch ed tho tiger with tho nrosl intense eagerness.— I saw the monster’s fore legs move—l saw the claws open upon the sand—and-then came that peculiar gathering of tfte body which shows that the muscular power is all concentrated.— On the next instant (lie Inigo body left thd earth : and as it did so the six natives disap peared os if by magic. They had dropped down into tho spaces between the casks, doub ling themselves up like hedge-hogs'. . The tiger struck tho tops'of tho casks, and seemed for a moment to be utterly confounded: antf during (hat moment wo raised ourmnskets. Thd beast stood- slightly quartering, with his head from me, so that my best point of sight was just behind hia sjiouldcr. We fired to gether, or very nearly sol , . While yet the’ring of our reports was upon 1 thtt nii* W<i heqrd a deafening howl, and before the smoke had cleared away, so (hat iVo could see tho lighter, tho tigerwas unoh thb sand, very near thb s’pbl where lib hnu crouched be fore. }Io saw us, and with another yell leaped toward us. I cltfbbCd’my musket, and .struck him upon thd head ns ho passed nib, but thb Wow seemed to make no impression upon hhh. 110 kept on some yards boyond us, and then turned. lie did’not stop to gather for 0 spring, but rushed dlredtly tbWardp us.. Wo moved quickly aside, and he passed us again’.. Wo now knew, of course, that he ttarf be wildered, and to such an extent thpt ho could not reason. As he turned a second titno (ho malo caught tho axe, which w 6 .had brought with ns. for ordinary use, and stood by lo use it. He grasped it with a steady nerve, for there was little danger now* and as tho tiger came on again; hesitating and. hnlf-turuinffefc-hcn lie reached us, Bill brought him a blow Utvon the top of Ids head that split hia skull. The mighty beast staggered sideways* few steps, and tben Tho natives noif canionp from the lighter and th\\r shouta oftoy and wtullalion were be yond anything of tho kind I over heard'before. They claimed a. good share of credit in tho monster’s death, and wo were willing to grant it; for had they not acted as coolly and reso lutely ns thoy did, tho tiger would notjiavb been killed as he was; amlbcyoml vbat ii was impossible to judge what might have happened. At all events, I don't believe that we, had wo been exactly lifclbeir situation, would have done so well as they did. Wo should/mt have re sorted to stratagem so cosily and naturally: but should have been more likely either to have wade tor the cabin, or to have faced him and made tho beat of It—in either of which cases we should probably have como out second best. Tho tiger measured seven feet and a half in length of body, and nearly eleven feet from nose to tail Inclusive. Two of-our bullets had pas sed within half-ap-lnch of his heart; one had entered his head, while ono was lodged bis shoulder. Wo voted thtfsklu to our maio, and ho was thankful and, proud. Ft was lucky that wo had tho skin to show when wo returned to tho ship, olso tho orow mighfnot have believed'that wo had'slain such an animal so easily.’.' . - IIESItV S. MOTT, et nt. CANAL COMMISSION - EDS, vs. THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL ROAD COMPISV, et a!. LEWIS, C!i, J, Three bills in equity have been filed, in Inch of which a motion is made for an injunction to prevent the sale of the Main Line of the Public’ Improvements of the State, under the Act of, Assembly of May 16, 1857. These motions draw into question the rights of the Canal Com missioners, of the State creditors, of tho tak eovers of the Commonwealth, and of the slock holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to interfere in the great question involved. On all the questions about to be decided, I proceed to deliver the unanimous opinion of tho whole Court, Although there is some difference in our rea sons for denying to a dissenting stockholder, who is offered compensation for bis slock by tho terms of tbo Act, the preliminary injunction asked, we all 051*00 in refusing his motion. — IBs rights ore to be determined on the final hearing. We do not consider it necessary to express &ny opinion on the question whether tho holder of a # certificate of State loan has such a pledge of the tolls on the Stale canals and railroads ns could be enforced in a Court of Justice. .Con ceding, for the purposes of the present motion, that he has such a pledge, wo are nevertheless of opinion that tho right of a pledge extend* no further than to require a sale of the thing pledged, and an application of Bio proceeds to tho payment ofhis claim. This is what the Act of Assembly proposes lo accomplish. It is what a Court of Equity would do, under tho circum stances disclosed, if the controversy were be tween private individuals. But the Legislature has the right (0 proscribe remedies and change them at pleasure, so that the rights of the par ties are not materially impaired. We are perfectly satisfied that (he rights of the State creditors wifi not bo impaired by a fair public sale of the Main Lino to the highest and best bidder, and the application of the pro ceeds lo the payment of the Stale debt. On the contrary, we are bound to presume, from the evidence before us, (hat such a proceeding will be highly beneficial to the creditors of the Stale. It will reduce the amount of tho public debt, and render the residue more secure. We have no right lo presume Hint the Wotks will be sold for less than their full value. The crcditoV has therefore no case for relief on the Tooling of the pledge of the tools on tho Public Works. But tho Canal Commissioners, the tax-pay ers and the creditor, object (0 a contract of sale under which the right to punish the purchasing corporation for misuse or abuse, and the right to’tax the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for jStato purposes, and another Company for ton nage. is forever extinguished. It Is alleged that the Legislature have no.constitutional authority to bind succeeding Legislatures, in these par ticulars. If such a contract be unconstitution al and void, the Canal Commissioners are In the line of their duty in suggesting this objection to the Court, and if the Court should hold the Act of Assembly void, it would he the duty of tho Commissioners, ns faithful agents of the State, entrusted with the custody and management of the Works, to retain possession, of them for the use of the Commonwealth, regardless of thq un authorized attempt to deprive the public oftUcir Hghts. If the Legislature have no right to._re* lease tbo means on Which the State nnd hcr cnil itors must rely for the payment of her public debt, any creditor whoso security is about to bo thus impaired has a right to bo heard in op position to (ho measure proposed. The tax payers, whose burthens will bo necessarily in creased by releasing from taxation any portion of property liable to contribute the payment of the public debt and tho expenses of government, have also an interest in tho question, and, of course, have a right to bo heard. A judgment ot ouster agdlnst a Corporation, duly put in execution, works its dissolution. — According lo the ancient common law, where there is no statute provision to tho contrary, upon the civil death of a corporation all its real estate remaining unsold reverts back (0 (he orig inal grantors and their heirs. The debts duo to and from the corporation arc all extinguish ed. Neither stockholders nor tho directors nor trustees can recover debts or bo charged with them in their natural capacity. All tho per sonal estate vests in the Commonwealth. 2 Kent’s. Com.. 307 ;T Black's Com. 484. But under the modern rule of equity jurisprudence, tho severity of the common taw in this respect is greatly mitigated, nndit Is held.that it is the franchise, and not tho property of the corpora tion that is forfeited by a judgment of ouster, and that the property of tho corporation is a trust fund for tho payment of debts and distri bution among stockholders.

The 15th section of tho act of lOlh of Mdy, 1857, enables the Legislature, ol their election after judgment of ouster, to re voke thb priviUges of iho corporation* and fo take the roads and canals for pubfio use, giving toll compensation totbostockboldcrs. This pro l vision docs not vary very materially froni the rule which equity would adopt, independent of the net 6t Assembly. It is no release of tho punishtttcnl foi* misdsoor abhsc. Nor is', it a release of the eminent domain under winch tho corporation may bo repealed without either Abuse or misuse whenever the public interest re fiuircs it, oii giving Jdst compensation to (ho stockholders. The.word" may,” asnpplicd lo tho action of the legislature in this respect, is not to bo construed as’ "sliair’or “’must.”— If tho construction were doubtful, the doubt must bd resolved hi fiftw of tlfo Store. A Cor poration can never claim a privilege against the Stale without showing that it hrclearly entitled to It by terms of Ihocnartbr.

If (his should not e done, tho judgment of ouster, with all its le gal and equitable incidents, would remain in full force. There Is, therefore, no release Of the right to punish for misuse or abuse, nor any release of the eminent domain In tho provisions contained in thq 151 ft section of tho act of as sembly. . * Wo now come to tho vital question involved VJ.fI lcs * Wl'cabons. The Act of Assembly of ICth of May,. 1857, makes provision for tv pub no sale, and, for tho purpose of inviting compe tition, directs that pubiio notice of tho lime and place to bo given in one or wore newspapers of extended circulation, published in tho dies ol Vhilnddphio, Pittsburg.

By means of this privilege, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company- may drlvofroni the Held of competition nil other, bidders. It is essential to every fair public auction? that all the bidders shall stand upon an cquafifooling. If the object has-been to make a fair sale of this portion of the State revenue, it might have been evinced by a provisldn for the transfer of it to the highest bidder, without any distinction in favor bf any one.'' Butrins was not done.— The extraordinary provtstf,'in fnivqr of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, is partial and en tirely repugnant to the general intent of the act, and if allowed to stand, sale under it will furnish one of the most magnificent exhibitions of a “ hiocfc auction” world has ever witnessed.

Government ia but an aggregation of individual rights fthd powers. It has no more right to commit political suicide than an inili vidual has to destroy tho life given by his Cretv lor. Contracting away the taxing power in perpetuity lends, os we have seen, inevitably to the destruction of the government. Iftwclvoor twenty millions of taxable property may bo re leased 10-day, ono hundred millions may be re leased to-morrow ; and, the principle being es tablished, the process might goon until all pow er to raise revenue was gone.

But where there is no pretence of on Intention to equalize'the taxation, among the people, bill an avowed purpose to sell to one class of Citi zens an exemption from .all taxes forever, and thus to throw all the public burthens upoa the other, for all timo to come, it Is, to all intents and purposes, imposing a tax upon tbcttt with out the consent of theirj’cpresehtallvcs, and la such a plain, palpable and open-violation of-the rights and the people- -such a' clear cose of transcending the just limits of legislative power, that thejud'eiary is bound,to pronounce such an act as hull and void. No class of ,corporations stand,more need of the protection of,the government,or.occupy more of- the lime of the Legislature and .tho courts of justice,, or occasion more expense to tho government than railroad corporations.— From the extensive nature of their operations, the power to take private property for the con struction of their works, and their, continual collision with each other’s interests, and with the interests of individuals and municipal com munities, they require the constant and the en ergetic protection of the strong arm of the gov- . eminent. Withdraw that protection and they ; would ‘ be left to the mercy of popular out breaks, manifesting themselves by opposition to their program and the destruction of their works whenever tho location of theirroads or , their depots, or anyof their numerous arid ne cessary operations come in conflict with the in terests of particular localities. These corpora tions should bo the last to consent that.the go vcrnmcnt shoald be enfeebled by thc/diminu- • iron of its revenues, or to nsk that it should be bound to exert all its energies, and. lucur large ami constant expenditure for their protection while they arc exempt from contributing their share. These principles are not so infirm ns to stand in need of tho stall of authority for support.— They are the result of that liberty and equality which was established by iho revolutionary, struggle of our ancestors. * They are perfectly nnderstood by every one who.hhs capacity to comprehend tho nature of our free institutions. They arc deeply impres sed on the. hearts of tho people, and they are fully recognised by the history, the objects and the Ihnguage of our State Constitution. , L.-ThnxSflscof New. Jersey vs". Wilson 7 Oranch r .164, is cited in Opposition to this doctrine. It was decided without argument on'iho part of (hp State. It has relation altogether to the power of the Colonial Government, by treaty with'the remnant of it tribe of Indians, who re leased lands claimed by them,in consideration of the grant of other lands free from taxation. The Indians occupied in some respects the con dition of a separate nation. Nations arc fro* qucntly obliged, for the sake of the public peace, to make concessions to each other, which could not be justified if the transaction were between a State and individuals, and if the rules which govern in the construction of the treaty making power, do not apply to ordinary contracts.— But it is a sufficient answer to this ease to say that tliQ powers of the Colonial Government of New Jersey, before our free governments were established by the Revolution of 1776, furnish no rule whatever for ascertaining the powers of tho Legislature of Pennsylvania, under our pre sent Constitution. . p ’• In the case of Gordon v. Tho Appeal Tax , Court, 3 Howe, 142,-it was “admitted by the , Attorney General of tho Statcof Maryland.lhat there was a contract between tlmtStnto and tho , Banks, and that it was protected by the Su preme Chart of tho United States. The ques tion of tho constitutional power of (htTlegisla* , turo to contract awny tho taxing power was therefore neither raised nor decided. If it had been, the question would have had relation (0 tho powers conferred by the constitution of Maryland, and not to those by that of Penn sylvania. The ease of Hardy v. JVotbam, 7 Pick. 110, was that of an exemption granted by tho old Colonial,Ordinance of Massachusetts of 1050, and subsequently confirmed’ by the people in their Stale Constitution. A decision affirming tho power of the people, when establishing their Constitution, to confirm nn exemption from tax ation granted to a college by an ancient Colon ial law, lips nothing to do with ,tho Question involved in this case. That tho pen- , themselves possess this power has never been doubted. All power emanates from them.— , But it is denied that* they have in this State granted any such power to the Legislature., In Atwalqr vs. WfyojJbficlge, C Com. Rep. : 223, ami in Seymour vs. Ilarlforn, 21 Com. > Hep. 481, the question of the right of tho Leg- : islaturq to'cenlractavvay tho taxing power, so i as to' hind future Legislatures, did' nut arise, because the subsequent enactments were not 1 construed or as a repeal of-the ex emptions previously granted.
