j In the Senate (.11 the 19th, Mr. Walker
reported tfiat the proposition to divide the
; k tale info one hundred separate Ifepresen
i t:it,ve districts is unconstitutional, and
: to he discharged from the further
, 1 oiiMileralion ol the subject. Postponed,
i and ordered to be printed.
Mr. horsyth offered a resolntion and
preamble, as follows :
Whereas, The present system of assessing
and levying taxes upon the real estate of tins
commonwealth, which is encumbered with judg
ments and mortgages or ground rents, is unequal,
unjust, and oppressive, and is against the princi
ples of our lorm of government, compelling a
mrge majority of the people of this State to bear
unusual and unreasonable burthens, requiring
them in reality to pay State, county, corpora
tion and other taxes upon what is, in fact, debts
due by them and property which they do not
own, the same being subject to additional tax,
all of which directly or indirectly falls upon the
party holding property thus embarrassed; —
the manifest consequence of which is to favor
the wealthy, who have their property free from
encumbrances, and to impose upon those whose
circumstances compel tiiem to borrow upon
mortgage or pay groutyl rents. And inasmuch
as the annual revenue is now amply sufficient to
meet all the proper expenditures of the com
monwealth, it is the solemn duty of the Legis
lature to remedy these great wrongs, that have
been so patriotically submitted to lor a number
of years, and revise our unequal system of taxa
tion. Therefore,
Resolved, That the Committee on Finance be
requested to examine the present laws imposing
taxes upon real and personal property in this
Commonwealth, and if expedient, report a re
vision of the same, in such manner as will
remedy the cause of complaint.
The resolution was adopted, with an
amendment offered by Mr. Lawrence, as
follows ; —And also to inquire into the ex
pediency of changing the present mode of
collecting taxes in the State so as to con
form to the system now adopted in the
State of Ohio.
Mr. Konigmaeher offered the following
resolution, which was adopted :
Resolved, That the Committee on Finance be
instructed to inquire into the expediency of re
pealing all laws exempting certain property
from taxation.

hill allowing compensation to Auditor
General and State Treasurer as Commis
sioners of the Internal Improvement Fund,
which was finally passed.
In the House, Mr. Allison offered the
following resolution, which was adopted :
Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and
Means be requested to inquire into the expedi
ency of repealing so much of the act creating a
Sinking Fund, as relates to the taxing of bowl
ing saloons.
Mr. Acker offered a similar resolution,
relative to pistol galleries, panoramas, ex
hibitions, Ac.
On the 21st, the two houses, in conven
tion, proceeded to electa State Trea urer.

" An act relating to compensation in
damages when death is caused bv wrong
ful act, negligence or default" has been
offered by Mr. Killinger, the member from
Lebanon. It provides that whenever the
death of a person shall he caused by the
wrongful act of any party, either natural
or artificial, and the act is such as would,
if death had not ensued, have entitled the
individual injured to maintain an action
and recover damages, the person or corpo
ration shall be liable to action notwith
standing such death, and although the
death shall have been caused under such
circumstances as shall in law amount to a
felony. Every such action is to he brought
in the name of the personal representative
ol the deceased, and the amount recovered
shall be for the exclusive benefit of the
widow and next of kin of such deceased.
The court and jury may give such dam
ages as they may deem just with reference,
to the pecuniary iiyury resulting from such
deatli to the widow and relatives, provided
that such action shall he commenced with
in one year from the death of such per
son.
In the Senate, on the 22d, Mr. Strecter,
(Judiciary) reported a " supplement to an
act abolishing imprisonment for debt, and
to punish fraudulent debtors," with an
amendment.
Mr. Walker, (Judiciary) 44 ail act relat
ing to the usury laws."
Mr. Cunningham moved the considera
tion of an act to incorporate the Presbyte
rian Church in the borough of Newton

mittee from the House of Representatives

er and members of the Senate into their
hall, for the purpose of proceeding to a
joint election o! State printer for the ensu
ing three years.
The two Houses held a joint session
for the purpose- of awarding the public
printing to the lowest bidder. Mr. Fenn
received the English printing, and Mr.
Weber the German printing.
In the House, Mr. Conyiighain offered
the following resolution, which was adopt
ed :
Resolved, That the Canal Commission
ers he requested to furnish to this House,
11s soon as in their power so to do. a list
of all the lots, tracts and pieces of land
belonging to this Commonwealth, situated

tions amending the constitution were taken
