Mrs. Graham called on Mrs. Grant one pleasant day in July. They were neigh bors,, and loved a bit of gossip. Mrs. Graham seated herself near the open window and looked out over the fragrant garden to the little white house beyond. ‘Who lives there?' is the query.* ‘Don't you know ? There is the place where the widow Bryson and her* daugh ter live.’ ‘Ah I The old and the young lady who sat in the west pew, .last Sunday ?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Have you called.?' questioned Mrs. Graham. ‘Me!' with emphasis. ‘Yes; are you not going to be neigh borly with them ?' . ‘I don't associate with everybpdy.’ ‘No, I suppose not—but are not these nice people?' ‘No, I don't say that they are not. I don’t believe in talking 111 .of my neigh bors. If I can’t speak well of any one, I believe in just letting tberp alone.' . ‘Oh 1 what is it ?' ‘Ob, nothing much ; but I guess if you saw what I see dally, you wouldn't think of my calling ; tliey don't suffer for wqut of company very much.’ ‘Who has been there? TUI never tell it,' said Mrs. Graham. Mrs. Grant shook her head. ‘Ladies?’ *1 never saw any ladies calling there.’ ‘Gentlemen?’ . ‘Yes, if you call Squire Gregory a gen tleman.’ ‘Squirt Gregory V ■ ‘Mrs. Graham lifted her hands in hor ror. • We will just whisper to the reader that the masculine in question bore a very evil reputation, having been, figu ratively speaking kicked out of society long ago. ‘And you saw him really there?' mus ed Mrs. Graham. ‘ls it possible ? Well, one cannot mistake their character; I'm glad we’ve found them out in sheep’s clothing.’ . Mrs. Giant shells her peas for dinner,' and Mrs. Graham rolls up her knitting work. ‘Don’t be in a hurry, Mrs. ‘OI I have not been. By the way, have you got any yeast could spare ? Mine soured, and I wish to bake to-morrow, If possible.’ •O, yes, take a cupful now or send Jen nie over for it,’ said Mrs. Grant. ‘Going.up to Mrs. said Mrs. Grant. ‘Hero’s her magazine that I bor rowed last week ; I have been trying to get John to take it, he likes to read it ps well as I do, but when ho can borrow/ be won't subscribe;’ Mrs. Merrill, an aristocratic lady, who lived in a two story brick,’ greets her visitor with a polite good morning, and ushers her Into the sitting room. There is a canary in a gilded cage, who is trill ing his song very merrily, and there are blooming flowers in the windows. ‘Will you lay oft your shaker?’ asks Mrs., Merrill, quietly. ‘Oh, 'tisn’t worth-while—l just run in. I was going to the store, and thought I would call and return this magazine,’ said Mrs. Graham, fanning herself with her shaker, which she has just removed, ‘how dreadful warm the weather is.’ ‘lt is uncommonly sultry,’ Mrs, Mer rill takes up the embroidery she had laid aside on the entrance of tyer visitor. ‘We scarcely feel the heat, however ; we have a good draught, and there is a very good shade around the house; Mariam,’ ad dressing a fair young girl who had just entered, ‘perhaps Mrs. Graham would take a glass of ice water.’ . ‘Thank you, dear; how cool and nice. By the way have you called on our new town’s folks?' ‘Not yet. I was speaking to Mariam about calling to-day. What a sweet girl Miss Bryson seems to be; rather melan* choly, though. Have you called yet?’ ‘Not I.’ ‘Why ?’ . t ‘I don’t visit whore Squire Gregory 368.’ 'Squire Gregory? You are mistaken, surely.’ ‘Oh, X guess not—but I’ve said more now than I intended to. Don’t let that influence you, but if I. had a daughter like Mariam there, I don’t know as I should carethatsheshould associate with such people.’ of.cQur6e.not.’ replied Mrs. Merrill. ’I never dreamed anything of that kind ; the old lady' seemed so high brod.and her daughter so.modeat and genti ’ Mrs. Graham tak s' her leave with a ‘now do come and spend the afternoon when you can, Mrs. Merrill.’ « The latter and her daughter eat quiet ly at their work. Mariam is finishing a dress for herself, and her dainty fingers fly swiftly at their work. By and by she looks up. ’I never waa more deceived in any one in my life before mother.’ ‘Nor I.’ Tho two sow away in silence ; Dicky sits chirping unnoticed in his bright cage ; the flowers breathe out their per fume unheeded. ‘l’m sorry and disappointed,’ continu ed Mariam, ‘I thought she would be such au addition to our set; I was deceived, but I’m glad wo have found her out in time.’ ‘There’s tho door boil now ringing, said Mrs. Morrill. The person chanced to he Mr. John Elmore, the chorister. He is good look ing enough, aud has a pleasant voice and many bits of news to Impart. Mr. Elmore made known his errand ; it is something about a choir meeting next Tuesday evening, to learn a new voluntary for tho next Sabbath, when the now pastor is to preach his next ser mon. ‘But you can’t guess whom wo are to have in our choir after this,’ continued John Elmore; ‘a new member. Miss Bryson bos a fine voice. I Just called CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1870. this morning ami gave her an invitation to join.’’ i . ‘Mr. Elmore?’ ‘Well?’ The haughty Merrill blood is up now In a moment. ‘lf she sings iii tho choir, I don’t.’ ‘What do you mean ?’ ‘Just what I have said. Sho is said not to bo a very proper person, and if elve sits in tho choir on Sunday, ! leave it.’ ‘l’m sure I don’t know what to do,' said the young man. ‘I invited her, and it would be tho height of rudeness to withdraw the invitation.’ Miss Morrill could not help him in this dilemma, and Mr. Elmore left the house In a very uncomfortable state of mind. The next Sabbath Miss Bryson took her seat in the choir according to invita tion. The church was crowded when she entered, and ns the choir seats wore in front, she was observed by thecongre gation. True to her word arose and left the choir. The sensation occasioned by this act can be better im agined than described. The young lady who sat next to Miss I Bryson turned her back to her, and made • no offer of her note book when she rose to sing ; she seemed to be Avoided ag one with the plague. Her face burned crim son, and then grew pale as ashes. What hadshedone? What could be the mean ing of all this? Mr. John Elmore had got himself into a fine pickle- The young lady members of his choir notified him that they would sing no more unless Miss Bryson was re moved; and this disagreeable task he was obliged to perform. He wrote her a note, stating that cir cumstances unforseen by him when he Inv'ted her to become a member of the choir, compelled him to withdraw the invitation. It was a very rude proceed ing, but she would pardon him ! Many girls would have rallied after the shock, and defiantly met the inhospita ble world; but not so with*Ellen Bryson. Whenever, she went into society she was treated with scorn and contempt; so .at length she remained at home and griev ed herself sick over it. She was one of (hose frail blossoms that n rough wind or unkind frost will so easily destroy. Very, few persons called at the white cottage, but lynx eyed neighbors noticed that Squire Gregory was there with bQu dles and parcels,.and that was 'enough for them. For bad they not been evil disposed,they could easily have ascertain ed what those bundles contained, which will be seen presently. . Perhaps their consciences smote them a little when Dr. Green told them that the young lady at the cottage, was ill with brain fever, caused by some kind of worry or trouble, and that no persons were lending.auy assistance to the moth er, \ ... . Several volunteered, Mrs. Bryson treated them coldly, but.politely; but the night when Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Mer rill and others were engaged in the little bedroom, to perform the last sad offices for poor Ellen, the bereaved mother said, .bitterly. ‘You people in this town have murder ed my child. Tell me now tfbfore her corpse, why you did it?' There was no reply. ‘I heard yesterday/continued the old lady; that it was because Squire Grego ry was seen to call on her. Shall I tell you what caused these visits ? Had you ascertained, ere you spread broadcast the shameful reports that broke my child’s heart and crazed her brain, it would have been far better. We were poor, that is, in moderate cirdumstaucea. • We rented this house, the owner premising to take his pay in sowing. We were neither of us aware of anything being rumored against Squire Gregory’s character, and I must do him the justice.to say that ha has treated us with more humanity than you all. If this is the menus of learning you a lesson, my child has uot’died in vain 1 ; yet pray to God to forgive you—l am afraid I never can/ . Too, late, now the tongue of slander bfts triumphed! What a lesson this narra tive should tench I They placed snow drops in her hand, and looked with tears into her face—the members of that choir, and the villagers who had shunned her with contempt ■so shortly before. Too late now ! tears of repentance.could not bring her back again. They had murdered this .fair, sweet flower, where they should have protected it from this cruel world—if not for her own sake, for the sake of a dead father. ' There are many such cases. When you speak evil of any one, and condemn harshly, remember this, over-true story ; also, never forget that ‘whatsoever judg ment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and whatsoever measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.’ Cheese as ajt Article op Food.—A discussion of the subject of ‘Cheese as a wholesome, nutritious and economical article of food,’and a premium for the best essay, has dra\yn out several promi nent writers and agreat many useful and Interesting facts. The successful essay ist, Mr. L. B. Arnold, in refuting the ob jection that cheese is food in a state too concentrated .for the human stomach, re plies that he does not dispute the point, but contends that the same objection would lie against beef, pork, mutton, etc. All these articles are too concentrated to be eaten alone as a regular article of diet. The stomach, from its size, ounfusesthe idea that it was intended to receive only these concentrated articles- It requires more bulk in the shape of food, and hence less nutritious articles are usually eaten with meats. So itshould be with cheese. Says’Mr. A, : ‘The practice which pre vails generally in selecting food to eat with cheese, is as much in accordance with reason as with taste. A little chem istry will illustrate this, and show us that we might with profit consume much more cheese than wo now do. Chemis try divides our food into two classes; those which go to make up flesh and the frame work of the body, and are called flesh-forming or albuminoids; and those which furnish tho material for fat and animal heat, and are called fat-forming, or supporters of respiration.* We do not use these two kinds of food in equal quantities; we take only one of the for mer to two and a fourth of tho latter.— They are found in just this proportion in milk.’ A little dark by was recently found sitting on tljo stoop of a fashionable "house cryliig pitifully. 'What's do mat-' ter wid you?’ asked a colored, waman.— ‘De matters’ nuff— double trouble allober the house. Farder am drunk— mudder am gone wid cloze—siss broke de look ing-glass v wld de broomstick—de baby hab got her eyes full ob cyan pepper, and Pete Wdod put do mustard on ho hair for goose-grease.

A young lawyer gained a suit for a pretty but not over-wealthy client. Ho sent in a bill for $l,OOO. The next day the lady called on him and inquired if he was in earnest in proposing to her, “Propose to you, madam! I didn’t propose to you,” replied the astonished attorney. “Well, you asked for my fortune, uud 1 thought you would have the grace to Lake me with it,” was the calm reply. Buffalo girls* are very saucy. “May I see you homo?” Inquired a lad of a lass at church. “You may see mo anywhere you liko but you can’t walk with me,” was the port response, HON. WM. A. WALLACE 11l tlio Semite, March 10, 1870; On tho bill entitled "An net to facilitate and - secure the-construction of an additional rail way connection between the wr.tors of tho Susquehanna and tho groat lakes, Canada and tho North-western States, by extending tho aid and credit ol certain corporations to the Jersey Shore, Pino Crook and Uuffalo railway, and other companies." Mr. Speaker, I would be glad to escape the responsibility that is thrown upon mo by the bill that is under considera tion ;‘it would have pleased me much had I beoiuspared the necessity of meet ing tho is£93 that now confronts us; but, sir, as a representative of tho people of my native State, nay more, sir, as the representative of a section of the' Com monwealth which up to this hour lies waste and undeveloped, I feel it to be my sworn duty to come to you, Senators, and ask you to survey the fair field that you have within your borders for the employment of your idle means, and to examine the power you now have to make thp wilderness to blos som like the rose ; add in order that yoff * may do what you can, uuderyour organic Jaw, to give wealth and power to the peo ple, and population and taxable values to the Commonwealth. When I contem plate the magnitude of the Issue before us, I'hesitate to meet the responsibility, but I cannot evade it, in view of the fact that I am a representative of a people wlfo labor under difficulties innumerable Mariam Merrl Tor the want of that which you can give them without doing violence to your selves, and without taking a dollar from the Treasury of the Commonwealth, as I firmly and honestly believe. Let us examine this bill. I shall en deavor to discuss this question dispas sionately and calmly, and then permit the Senate to determine, as to them be- longs. The bill before us provides, in the first section, that the six millions of bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, now in the Treasury of the Commonwealth for application to the sinking fund, shall be delivered to the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway Company, to be used in the construction and completion of that rail road, when h guarantee for the construc tion and completion-thereof shall be fur nished to the commissioners of the sink ing fund, mid when they file their bonds, to be secured by a first mortgage with a like amount of interest, and payable in like manner, but it postpones their pay ment for the period of four years, in order that the road may be completed. When this shall have been done, the commis- sioners of the sinking fund are directed to deliver to this railroad company these bonds. The second section also provides that the three millions find a half of the Allegheny Valley Railroad bonds, also in the sinking fund for application to the State delbt, shall be taken and applied, $1,600,000 thereof to the completion and construction of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railway to the Southern State line; $1,400,000 to the completion of the.Clearfield and Buffalo Railway to the Northern State line, or very near to if and $500,000 to the completion of a branch of the Erie and Allegheny Rail way, in order to make a wide gauge con nection between the Atlantic and Great Western Railway and the harbor of Erie. These bonds are also to bo replaced by a second mortgage bond given by these re spective companies. These Allegheny Valley Railroad bonds are second mort gage bonds. When these guarantees for thocompletion of these roads are all ff led; ;«*/•! not until then, the commissioners of the sinking fund are, directed to deliver the securities. Tlils is, iu effecfr, what the bill provides. The securities to he taken from the sinkiug fund, it is scarce ly necessary for mo to repeat, come from the proceeds of the sale of the public works. The three millions and a half of the Allegheny Valley Railroad bonds were transferred to us last year from the Philadelphlaand Erie Railway Company; we exchanged the security in order that we might secure the completion of the Allegheny Valley. Railway and so as to make u low grade railway connection between the East and West; they wore guaranteed and are now in the Treasury of tho Commonwealth for application, and are good marketable securities. East year, we initiated the policy wo are now attempting tocontlnue. Itissoughtnow to secure the completion of three new lines of railway in undeveloped sections by the. use of the securities of tho Com monwealth. • • , . Let me glance at the country to be de veloped by- these railways. In the first .place, the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo railway aims at a connection with the Buflalo and Washington rail way at the Northern State - line, and ni!|,‘-.p!' a connection’between Buffalo and Philadelphia eighty miles.shorter than the line of connection between Buflalo and the city of Now York, by the New York nndEriojailroad. Itis well-known that the port of Buflalo is the largest re ceiving port for-grain upon the Jakes,— This bill proposes to reach for that im mense traffic, and create a line of rail way eo as to pour that immense trade through our North-western borders and enrich tho cities and commercial centres of our State. It proposes to bring to us taxable values in tho shape.of increased value of real estate, of increased popula tion and of increased railroad tonnage. — It proposes to debouch upon the shores of the Delaware the immense traffic that now. goes into the lap of Buffalo, and the hope of this result la founded ujion the natural and inevitable law of commerce and of trade—that railroad traffic will find the shortest Hues and-easiest trans portation. Here are the direct and short fines and the moat easy mode of trans portation. 1 Where is the citizen of Penn sylvania who is unwilling ,to aid in bringing to her wealth and commerce? Who is the Senator so recreant to his duty and so false to bis oath os to permit the States North and West of us to ab sorb this immense trade through , his neglect? So far as I can I will en deavor to pour into the lap of tho Com monwealth I love the trade and com: merce that shall make her great and populous. This is one of the purposes of this bill. This line of railway connects with the Philadelphia and Erie and tho Northern Central railway, and through* them with the Reading railroad auff with tho Pennsylvania railroad at this city, by a direct lino of communication. It also connects with all that net work of railroads upon which is transported "the coal of our authiacH-e-coiffregionrQud will carry that coal westward and north ward, and give to this linetbo immense tonnage that now finds its way north ami west by the Now York systemof railways. Hero again we aim at securing an im mense amount pf transportation and of tonnage which justly belongs to us, and which, will swell our coffers, and which they are now reaping. One of the lines named in tho second section of this bill reaches up the Mbnongahela Valley to tho State lino in Fayette *uud Greene counties, a country rich in everything .that makes a people great and prosper ous, aud carries its commerce to our Western city of Pittsburg, aud thus brings increased values and increased tonnage for taxation to the Cornuym wealtn. Then wo have a second branch of the Buffalo and Washington Road, running to the very heart of the best bituminous coal field in Pennsylvania; it carries that coal to a market; as it now lies, it Is undeveloped and will bo until you allow it to bo brought into direct communication with its natural markets* The market for that Is in the North, at Buffalo and at Lake Ontario. Sira, this Is a line of railway the value of which can scarcely bo estimated. I do not think it necessary to attempt to portray hero to-njght the character of the country through which these lines of mdiway penetrate. There is not within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a country so rich in minerals as is reached for by these groat arteries; there is no where so large and valuable a coal held R E M A E ICS ns there exists,' it only socks the menus of trnusmissiou to a market in order to swell your riches and vastly Increase your population In the north-west and in the south-west I said last year, when a. kindred subject was under consideration, that “upon the route I have descrlned, and bedded in the hills which border the valleys of Bonnot’s Branch and Sandy Lick, in the counties of Clearfield and Jefferson, easily attainable and most de sirable in its qualities, exists the finest body of bituminous coal within the State.” I now turn to the question of .our right to exchange these securities, for if this be clearly prohibited by the Constitution, it is for mo, ns it should bo for all of us, an end of the proposition. The Supreme Court In Grata vs. The Commonwealth, 6th .Wright, has dis tinctly recognized our right to transmute those bonds and to change the securities for their protection. If we have the power to do this, it involves the admission of our discretion In the premises, and this once granted, it necessarily follows that we* can exercise that discretion at bur-will, so far as the securities or eviden ces 6t the debt are affected, always re sponsible for the application of the pro ceeds to the payment of the public debt. But it is said that the plain letter of the Constitution forbids it, and that this is a Use and application different from that provided in that section of the Con stitution which authorizes the creation of a sinking fund. I need not reply to this argument for Judge Strong, in sth Wright, has fully settled the question against this position. Let us turn to the Constitution and see if the very words thereof do not permit this transmutation. I assert it to bo a settled principle, that unless the 'Consti tution prohibits us from doing this, we have the right. This Is a well settled rule of construc tion and is distinctly and emphatically ruled by Chief Justice Black, in Mayer vs. Sharpless, Harris, 149. ‘ We have all the power that the Con stitution does not deny us. Lei us 'turn to the Constitution itself, and see how it bears upon the question now before us.: “The said sinking fund may be in creased from time to time by assigning to it any part of the taxes or other reve nues of the State not required by the or dinary and current expenses of the govr eminent, and unless in case of war, in vasion, or insurrection, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in the extinguishment of the public debt:” Another pare of cue section provided that the Legislature at its next session should create a sinking fund; it orders that a sinking fund shall be created by the next legislature; it does not create it; it did not,itself create the sinking fund, but ordered the legislature to create it, and then described a part of the securities, the revenues from which should go into the sinking fund. The proceeds of the sale of the public works were named as a part of these se curities, the revenues from which were to go to payment of the public debt.— This was the ultimate destination of the assets, and it is our duty to send them thither. We s6ek to do nothing less. But, say Senators, these proceeds of tfie sale of the public works were put in to the sinking fund; so, too, were the proceeds of bank, charters and dividends; they were put iu precisely as were the proceeds of the sale of the public works, but until the money is realized, upon the securities, they are not in the sinking fund, and cannot be. applied to the pay ment of the,debt. The words sinking fund in their very terms mean, not a-’se curity, but a sum of money. The plain interpretation is an aggregated sum of money ready for until this mondy is in the -sinking fund wo have control over the evidences of debt for its protection and direction. We can- not divert the funds from their ultimate purpose, but we have the control of the securities from which the moneys come. We dare not destroy the security or de tract from the amount of them ; we can not take them out ‘ r but we can make the security of the Commonwealth better.— This was done in IQOI, and tho Supreme Court passed upon it, and in their opin ion thej' say tho fund consists of ihemon cy Realized, and not of the’ evidences of debt therein. If the sinking fund bo tho money re alized from tho securities, until they are realized, I can find no prohibition upon tho legislature to exercise its discretion for tho benefit of the people In the man agomoul aud •control of these evidences of debt, provided the proceeds be sent to pay tho indebtedness of the Common wealth. * * Mr. Blllingfolt., I would like to know who has charge of those bonds ; are they not lodged in the hands the commision ers as a part of that fund? Mr. Wallace. Undoubtedly, but until the money is realized they are not a port of that fund within the meaning of the law; a security is not money; a fund consists of money. Whenever the mon- ey is realized,theproceeds of the securities become a part of the sinking fund, and must go to the payment of tho debt- Mr. Billlngfelt. I differin that respect from tho Senator. Mr., Wallace.. Any other argument Lhan ; I make necessarily prevents us touching the securities, although they may become in danger. Although it may be tho plainest necessity to change them, if the argument, of the Senator bo correct, then wo cannot touch them iu case pf danger, for if we have no discre- tion in one case we have none in any.— Concede the power for any purpose and it is plenary for all. Tho securities are the mere evidences of tho indebtedness aud are not the fund within the meaning of the Constitution. But, sir, beyond all this lies a, higher question. Are we toconstrue the amend ment of 1857 iu a narrow and illiberal spirit? No. sir; in construing that en actment a broad and statesmanlike po-li oy iS to be inculcated. When the great est interests of a great Commonwealth are at stake, how narrow and illiberal is that view of her organic law which in evitably tends to prevent her develop ment! Upon a question of this magni tude it is to be construed broadly and in a statesmanlike manner, and not uar -rowly and technically. We are not de nied the right to exercise Ibis power.— We must determine between a narrow and illiberal and a broad and compre hensive view of our duty us legislators. Shall we be controlled by our prejudices •against indtvtduals-or—against-cocpom*- tious? lam for tho broadest and most enlarged policy upon this subject that we can attain. I labored earnestly last year in advocacy of this policy, aud I do but repeat my convictions now. I take this responsibility, knowing precisely what it is. I understand all, the narrow prejudices that surround this question ; but, sir, I am willing to take the respon sibility that may come to me 1 for my share in meeting frankly a question that looks to the developemout of my native State, that looks to Bringing towns aud villages aud cities, and a teeming popu lation, and a full treasury in its wake. . The mode of development indicated iu this bill Is tho best aud most economical that we can adopt or ever have attempt ed to adopt. There is no money taken from the Commonwealth; the people are not taxed to make this development; It enriches all, yet taxes none; it returns to the State Treasury with but a trifling change, all of these securities, and by their use wo secure the development of throe sections of the State which have yet been untouched j there Is no mode that can bo devised so wise and fair as this one, if wo possess the power, which 1 have already argued we do possess. A system of public works by the State in evitably brings in Us train a crowd of hungry contractors,, who, liko the horse leech, continually cry give! give! lu this mode wo have no crowd of corrupt and dishonest olliciah ; no never-ending claims for damages always paying never paid, but we have in their room the sim ple transmutation of our securities, the VOL. 56.—N0. 46 Commonwealth protected, and all those great Interests of the people subserved. But, sir, I have no doubt it will, be argued that capital should build these railroads and find there its profits. Wo, sir, of the northern tier of counties are poor, isolated and cut off from commuui cation with you, the rich and populous. \Y6 have, been struggling to make opr way out to you, and to bring our mineral and agricultural wealth in communica tion with you. We find ourselves unable (o affect it, and come to you and ask you to help us. The State is interested in this; she has the great motive of promoting inter communication, of increasing min ing and manufacturing, of building up unsettled and remote localities, and of rendering her laud valuable. The policy 1 advocate fosters progress and increases values and population. Bet us see what the figures toil us upon this subject. Let us look at a single decade and see what railways have done for us nhd determine whether It is not our duty to continue to do what the past decade shows wo have tfowell begun. • Your taxes engross receipts of railways in 1860 .yrere nothing ; in 1800 they were $373,420; Tax on tonnage in 1860,* $31,425; in 1809, $293,901. Tax on coal, a direct result of railways, in 1860 was nothing; in 1860 it was $159,577. Commutation of tonnage in 1800, nothing; in 1800,5300,- 000. . Bight of way in 1800, $lO,OOO ; in 1869, $lO,OOO. Tax on railway loans in 1 1800, nothing; in 1809, $100,474. Tax on railway corporation stocks in 1800 was $77,400, whilst in 1809 it was $527,251, showing an aggregate from these sources in 1800 of $118,785, whilst in 1809 it was $1,884,023, Or more than sixteen fold. Will you say that the past ten years do not teach us anything? In 1800 you received from these sources of revenue $118,785, whilst in ISG9 you received $!,-• 884,023—-moie money than is necessary this year to pay the interest upon your State debt, andyet yourargument refuses to make farther progress in this magni ficent. career, ana -a narrow and illiberal policy is to bo substituted in its stead, because a technical construction of the Constitution shuts you off. Look, if you will, at the great States of the West; see an immense population settling in every section and bringing-riches aud power lu lls train, whilst our hills and valleys, our mines and exhaustleas resources which will make the State populous aud rich, lie undeveloped, because you have hot the breadth of mind to grasp the passing hour, and' causo this tide of wealth to settle upon every valley and mountain side, to burrow beneath the earth, aud drag therefrom the wealth that lies in matchless profusion there. Your State •lies undeveloped, aud year by year there passes through your borders that which would make her populous and grand. Is this policy to be pursued? By the census of IStlOourincrease of population in Penn sylvania was but 25 per cent., while the population of Illinois increased one hun dred and one per cent. aiark the contrast necween the two great one with a liberal and far-seeing railroad policy and an unde veloped country, the other with a single artery. See the NewEnglandStatesand their policy. They stop at nothing.— The West and Canada are tributary to Boston and Portland*, because they did not hesitate to develop the resources of which they are the owners. They are intersected with great lines which bring wealth to swell their coffers. See the great State that lies north of you and her policy; contrast the development of her southern tier with that of your own northern tier, richer in agricultural facil ities and minerals, and then tell me that this policy is correct. Sirs, this policy has been pursued too long. The State of New York gave to the New York and Erie railway, ns a loan, three millions, and after she,'hnd lent it she gave, it,— Commercial centres are always enriched when you develop the rural districts.— These lines of railway reverse the system of your bodies, and are great arteries that bring in the life-giving ffuid; they bring to your commercial centres the wealth that there exists and enlarge the area of commercial enterprise, and your Treasury is made rich by the process. The people of the section I have the honor to represent, and the people of the sections,represented by the Senators from Potter and Greene, have claims upou you. . Prom generation to generation these peo ple have paid their taxes and come up to aid you in defending the Commonwealth and in making your public improve; ments, and they have received nothing from the State. The county in which I live has never received a dollar from the commonwealth. We have but a single straggling, lino of railway, entering our county ou Its eas tern side, yet on that Hue are found colli eries inevery direction,and rapid progress is being made. In the county of Jefferson there is an untold capacity for develop ment; there, too, you will have vast quantities of material for transportation. Why not aid them ? Give the means of transportation, ami wealth conies to you in untold quantities. Let mo turn briefly to tho objections of the Senator from Columbia, [Mr. Buck* alew.] He affirms that this takes six millions from.the sinking fund contrary to the Constitution. You cannot take anything out if it was nevei put.in. The power to transmute these securities, lias been recognized by tho Supreme Court., Wo cannot divert’the assets when real ized from the payment of tho debt, but our discretion as to tho evidence of debt is ample. Whilst it is true that the Penn sylvania Centra! is a wealthy corporation, the Commonwealth has not a dollar of lien upon any portion of that road ex cept from Columbia to Philadelphia. Tho securly Is unquestionably good, but that which this bill will give us is equally good for its amount. It is argued that these roads are un finished, and that there is no certainty that the ultimate security will be good* and that it is au exchange of good secu rities for a doubtful one. The bill ensures their completion. Wo have in all the past had people who doubled that there was anything good in telegraphs, canals’ and r rallroads, or that healthful progress could be made, but T have shown by fig ures that caunot bo gaiusaycd,tlmt in tho past tou years railways have grown to be worth to us a largo sum of money. Any man wlmjoolfs at this question of State doveiopinentiu thelightof the pastmust com o to the conclusion that I have come to, that these railways, when completed and their bonds filled, will be ample se curity for tho debts of the State. But it is said it postpones the indebted -ness.— whiut |he roads are being built. Is this a terrible tblug to the Com monwealth, in view of the fact that wo are developing her territory ? But, say Senators, the State now gets $400,000 annually, whilst by this bill she will get but $300,000, and that thereby the State is seriously injured. If the ar gumentof Senators upon the question of the right to touch these securities bo worth anything whatever, this position is most inconsistent therewith, for the fact is patent that the act of 1857, by which the terms of sale of the main line were fixed, is almost identical in terms with the provisions of this bill. If wo,, have no power under the terras of. the Constitution to change the security given for the purchase of the main lino, how comes it that now we are receiving $460,- 000, instead of but the interest on the $6,000,000 yet unpaid at 5 per cent, and $lOO,OOO annually. If wo have no power to change tho time and manner of pay ment of tho moneys arising from tho sale of tho public works, how happens it that wo do not hold these debtors by the very letter of their bonds given under tho act of 1857 and now remaining iu the trea sury. Tho only answer to this question is ;that the Legislature of 1861 changed the time and manner of payment by tm arrangement with Us debtor, and agreed to receive tho money faster than tho terms of the sale provided. If (hey could do that in 1801, Is it not competent for this Legislature to remit the debtor to tho terms of his original contract, espe cially in view of tho facts that tho pro visions of tho ConstltutloD| of (he aot- for hates for .ADVKimsKMKNTSwIiI be msoricd atToa coat per Uno for the qrat Insertion, and llvo cons per lino for each subsequent Insertion.

I tho sale of tho main line out! of tho se em ities uo v held by us all concur with 1 the i'node of payment fixed by this bill, 'with tho single exception of postpone* meat of the annual payments for five years ? The act of 1861 was the exercise ofji legislative discretion. The act of 1870 is no more. Wo violate no constitu tional right or provision in remitting the parties to their original contract* Go to the treasury and read the bonds you hold and you will find that the last one ma- tures in 1894. Bo also does the last pay ment under this bill. I may bo permitted to sqy that so faraa I the line of railway contemplated through I my district is concerned, I own not an I acre of land between tho point of June j tion and the New York line, but I seek I the interests of tho people I represent, and I know I faithfully reflect their sen timent in supporting this measure. Au impliodcharge of corrupt legislation is made in regard to this measure. I have taken nly position and as forcibly as I could have endeavored to maintain It. I fear none of tho implications or Insinua tions that may bo or have been made, but upon this measure as upon all others that nave come before us since I have had the honor of useat here, I have en deavored to perform my duty faithfully to my constituents, and to the best inter ests of the Commonwealth as it is given me to see those interests. Tho implication, too, does gross injus tice to the far-seeing add sagacious men who control and direct the policy of our great* corporation. I do not hesitate: to allinn that their peers in ability in their vocation cannot be found within the na- tion. Nay, more, sir, their reputation aud that of tho great road they have made are co-equal and world-wide, audas Peun sylvaniaus we can with honest pride point to these, men, sous of our own soil, as un excelled and unequaled, for breadth of view, for sagacious foresighfcdnd for skill ful management of enormous interests. Now, Senators, I have done. Wo come to you and beg you to remember that our people have a claim upon tho State we all love and serve. We beg you to re member that the soil, aud its products, and Its minerals, are the true and only sources of wealth, and that with you lies the power to bring them forth. Wo beg you to remember that to you and to'the Commonwealth we seek to bring uo loss. In giving us what we seek you impover ish not yourselves but make us rich in deed. We are weak and unable to stand with out your We are isolated and em barrassed; ajd us to stand erect and from being weak we will become strong, from being Infants, needing aid, we will be come giants, and will with the arms of giants throw back in the lap of our State riches ten fold greater than thdse you now grant us as a loan. Singular Tumor.—The English jour nals give an account of a singular tumor, discovered in the stomach of a woman about thirty years of age, who had been under treatment for two years In a Lon don hospital for a disease, the nature of which had baffled all the skill of the phy sicians t«- determine. On a post mor tem examination, a solid tumor, com posed of human hair, resembling in ap pearance a black duck with a very long , neck, and weighing nearly two pounds, was found to occupy and nearly com pletely to fill the stomach and gullet,- forming a tolerably accurate mould of these organs, and extending from the stomach almost into the mouth. This remarkable concretion had caused great thickening and ulceration of the stom ach, and Was the remote cause of, death. On inquiry, a sister stated that during the last twelve years she had known the deceased to bo in the habit of eating her own hair. BiiAUTiruL Extract.—“Oh, this is a beautiful world!
