This is the view taken of the subject by the Chairman of the Commi Mee, end no Ybought . ia or has been entertaine4 of making a • change. TAXES.--In some of the western counties of thjs Stato the people 'are in a State of rebellion against the taxes laid to pay the interest on bonds issued to railroads.. In . Washington county, the house of an indiyidual was levied en by an officer and ad vertised ler sale; when the• people hold . a 'meeting, passed strong anti tax resolutions, and denounced in - ad vance any man who should bid on the house. The day of. sale came, and sure enough, though a crowd collected, 'there was no one to hid on the prop erty, which was accordingly returned 'to its owner. vs. A Birt for the relief of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company, has been reported from the Commit tee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives; and from 'what we ean learn by reports from Harris burg, it will pass both branches of the. Legislature without serious oppo siVon. We are not surprised,says the Beading Gazelle, at this application of the Companyfbr further aid from the State. When the original bill, for tho sale of the State Canals to the Sun bury and-Erie Railroad Company was before the Legislature, in 1857 and 1858, we opposed it on the ground that the advantage to he gained (vas all on on Sl,lo—and that side, viol the ,Commonw< , eitli--and predicted that: she would ultimately be asked to re linquish her lion upon the road, to aid the Company in its completion. Ylut the bill became a law, and the Bale was consummated. And now the State finils herself in the predic ament of a creditor whose security, for previous advances will be worth nothing, unless he makes further ad vent* to ;lave bis debtor from . insol vency. • The construction of the rail road has come to a dead bait, for want of funds. The State's first mortgage will be worth little or noth ing unless the road is finished,. and it mina be finished without more mon ey, which can only be Weed upon the securities that the State .bolds.., In this dilemma, the poor Commonweal th Le t 's. bat one alternative to take: She 'is loser, as the ease note standa-- she Cannot be a greaterlosiii, ; by grant ing what the Company astr. •••• COUNTY SUPFatiqrpnotrers.--The triennial elections for County Super intendents of the Common 'Schools, will he held. in the several counties of this Cotnrnonwenith,'On the first Mon tilijr (the 7tli) of May nest.
