This bill, which has been before the j Legislature for some years, has at last been ! enacted into a law by a two-thirds vote in both houses, notwithstanding the objec- | tions of Governor Packer. There are some objectionable features in the bill, especial ly in the 1 Ith section, and whether it will be of essential benefit to the public will now depend, first, upon the appraisers whom the Governor may appoint; and sec-' oudly, upon the watchfulness and honesty of those who may obtain control of it. If the stock should be subscribed by some of our substantial men throughout the coun ty who would place valuable, improved and well known property under mortgage i as security to note-holders, we shall have no fears that the Governor's anticipations of > difficulty will be realized ; but if the pro- i perty is to be scattered through half a do- : zen or dozen different counties, embracing i " valuable pine," " valuable coal" or " val- j liable coal oil lands," the less any one in j this county has to do with it the better. We hope, however, if the bank goes into ' operation at all, it will do so under a nian agment that will command public confi dence —for, without this, no institution of j the kind can either become useful to the community or beneficial to the stockhold ers. A New Tariff Bill, In the Pnited States Ilouse of Represen tatives, Mr. MORRILL (Republican) of Vermont, from the committee of Ways and | Means, asked leave to introduce a bill to in- j crease the Tariff. Mr. RARKSDALK (Dem ocrat) of Mississippi objected—whereupon 1 Mr. Morrill moved to suspend the rules to i enable him to introduce the bill, and called for the yeas and nays. As this is the Jhvt vote on the Tariff ijnestion, by the present Congress, it will be interesting to know how it was classified politically. It stood as follows: FOR A NKW TARIFF. Republicans, 84 South Americans, 12 Anti-Lecompton Democrats, 5 Old Line Whigs, 1 Regular Democrats, 3 Total, 105 AGAINST A NEW TARIFF. Regular Democrats, 04 South Americans, 4 Republicans, 1 Total, 09 Notwithstanding this plain detnonsiffc" tion, as to who are tariff men, crat and other prints will probably contin ue to swear that they are the tariff party 1 Men who will be deceived by such chica nery, deserve to earn ten ceuts a day. Terrible Accident- Urns PARK, Luzerne county, Pa., March 26.—A terrible accident occurred at Chitten den's Shaft, situated about four miles below Ilyde Park, at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The pumps broke while the workmen were being hoisted out of the mines, and an explo sion of fire damp immediately followed, kil ling fifteen or twenty of those who were in the shaft at the time, and seriously wounding $ large number who were in the vicinity. The engines and boHer-house were blown to pieces. When the intelligence reached this place an intense excitement was created, and many hurried to the scene of the disaster. The active sympathies of our people were en listed for the unfortunate men, and every pos sible preparation made for the relief of the wounded. Mexican Affairs. WASHINGTON, March 26. —The President was engaged with the Secretary of State for several hours to day on business connected with Mexican affairs. The recent events in the gulf occasion much solicitude in official quarters, as it is feared they may complicate us with foreign Powers having large interests in that country. Nothing materially different from the newspaper accounts has reached the Pennsylvania Legislature. We noticed last week that the Mifflin County bank bill was in the hands of the Governor, who, we had no doubt, would veto it. Subsequently the following mes sage was sent in : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commomcealth of Pennsylvania. GENTLEMEN :—A bill has been presented for lnv approval, entitled " An act to incorpo rate the Mifflin County Bank." The bill proposes the incorporation of a bank, to be located in the borough of Lewis town, in the county of Mifflin, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollars, with power in the commissioners to increase it to two hun dred thousand dollars, and with the further power in the President and Directors, to in crease it to five hundred thousand dollars. The shares are each to be one thousand dol lars, and no person can subscribe for less than five shares. The number of stockholders can not bo less than three, nor more than thir ty, and each stockholder shall be a director. When one hundred shares of stock shall have been subscribed, and ten dollars paid on each share to the commissioners, and mort ! gages given by the stockholders on unincum bered real estate, within this commonwealth, appraised at a sum equal to the par value of the stock, letters patent are to be issued by the Governor to the corporators, and when the mortgages provided for, shall he deposit ed with the Auditor General, and the Cashier shall Certify uuuer oath, that twenty-five per centum of the capital stock subscribed has been paid in, the Auditor General is required to deliver to the bank, notes properly prepa red in blank, to the amount of the capital stock, which notes, after being signed bj r the proper officers, may be issued by the bank, and circulated as money, according to the or dinary course of hanking. 1 have, heretofore, stated, among the prin cipal objections to the existing banking sys tern of this Commonwealth, Ist, That a spe cial act iif the General Assembly was an in dispensible prerequisite to the incorporation and establishment of a bank—thus conferring, l>y special legislation, upon a favored few, powers and privileges which were denied to others, equally responsible and deserving. And, 2d, That no adequate and reliable secu rity is provided for the prompt redemption, beyond all contingencies, of tho prommissory notes which may be issued by such a bank, and circulated as money. These objections have prompted me to make known to the leg islature and the people, that 1 could not ap prove of any additional special charters for banks of issue under the laws now in force in this State. Nor have they, in my opinion, been removed, or obviated, by the bill under consideration. It is a special charter, and the security it proposes for the redemption of the circulating notes of the bank proposed to be created, 1 am satisfied, would prove utter ly delusive and insufficient. Mortgages on real estate, at its full value, situated in any part of the commonwealth, improved or un improved, to be taken at an appraisement, would, beyond all controversy, be found a ve ry inadequate means of insuring prompt pay ment to the holders of the notes of a bank which had stopped payment at its counter. So far as 1 have been able to learn, the plan of banking on real estate security, although often attempted, has uniformly proved an ab solute failure, even when confined to impro ved land, and it will hardly be pretended that the system will he made better by extending it to all manner of real estate, whether im proved or otherwise, as this bill proposes. Of late years, it has been either wholly, or iD part, abandoned. One great reason, is, its inconvertibility, even when appraised at its real value. The payment of mortgages can only be enforced, after great delay, by tedious proceedings in our courts of justice, and, gen : erally, at a ruinous sacrifice —but where a I forced sale could be made at a fair price, the | delay which must necessarily occur, would se riously lessen tho value of the notes. It is, however, undeniably true, that, in a vast ma jority of cases, the amount raised, after pay ment of expenses, falls greatly below tike es ' timated value of the property ; and, in the | end, the securities would thus be absorbed, and the out standing issue, in a great meas ! ure, still left unredeemed. The twenty five per ceuturn on the amount of the capital stock, required to be paid by the shareholders, together with their personal liability, would, of course, afford some addi tional security ; but the history of the past shows conclusively, that such security is en tirely worthless in the case of a broken bank. On the other hand, experience has shown with equal clearness, that the only mode yet adopt ed by which the circulation of a hank can be made perfectly safe, at all times and under all circumstances, is by tho deposit of securf ties which can be converted into money with out the danger of depreciation, or the neces sity of delay, in) far as it may depend upon my action, I am determined that tho laws of the State shall not sanction tho further issue of paper money as a circulating medium, with out placing its prompt redemption beyond a peradventurc. And, as the bill under consid eration does not, in my opinion, fulfil that re quirement, i am constrained to return it with out the Kxecutive sanction, to the House of Representatives, where it originated, for re consideration. WM. F. PACKER. In the house it was passed by a two thirds vote under the following programue; On Saturday the House tock up the veto of the Mifflin County Bank bill, and the ques tion being ou the passage of the bill notwith standing the veto, it was lost, one vote being lacking. During the process of the call of the yeas and nays, Mr. Sbeppard said, on his name being called, that, as his democratic Iriends sat quietly in their seats, he would vote ' no.' Mr. Duniap (Dem.) came in after the vote was announced, and made an explanation, stating that he was absent when the vote was taken. He denied that his Democratic friends had dodged the question, and asked the priv ilege to vote. The privilege was allowed. Mr. Duniap said he was not ashamed to record his vote. He voted ' yea.' Mr. Dunlap's vote made a two-thirds vote in favor of, and passed the bill, causing quite an excitement. Mr. Donnelly was the only Democrat from the city voting 'no.' The others were absent, but not with a view to dodge the question. McDonough arose to make an explanation. He said he was absent during the time the vote on the Mifflin County Bank bill was ta ken, but he had understood that the Demo crats had been charged with dodging. He would not shrink from any responsibility. Had he been present he would have voted for the bank as he did tor the Mount Joy Bank. Mr. Sullivan, in reply, said that when Mr. Sheppard made hi 6 remarks about the Demo crats dodging only three members had voted ' no.' Mr. McDonough asked leave to record bis vote. A warm discussion arose upon the request, ns it could only Le done under the suspension of the rules. Mr. Dunlap objected to Mr. AlcDonoug.i s voting. Mr. Seltzer hoped that the same courtesy that had been extended to Mr. Dunlap would be accorded to Mr. McDonough. He was as tonised at such a course on the part of the House. Mr. McDonough said Mr. Dunlap had en deavored to persuade him not to ask of the House the privilege of recording his vote ; but for what reason he knew not. He now would not say which way lie would vote. Mr. Sheppard was in faTor of every mem ber having the same privileges on this floor. Mr. Dunlap said his objections to Mr. Mc- Donough's voting were, that there were five others now present who desired to record their votes on the bill. Mr. McDonough. I defy you to name them. Mr. Dunlap. I can— [The Speaker's gavel came down, and calls wc-re made of ' Order.'] Mr. Kinney read the rules iu the case from Zeigler's Manual. Mr. Sheppard said that according to Mr. Kinney's reading of Zeigler's Manual, Mr. Dunlap's vote should not have been received by the House. The Speaker (Mr. Thompson) gave his de cision upon the point cf order, in writing, as fjllows: The Mifflin County Rank bill, which lift! !icen vetoed, having passed by a vote ol two thirds only. Mr. McDonough, after the an nouncement of the vote, he not being within the bar of the House when the vote was taken, asked leave to vote. If Mr. McDonough voles negatively it would change the result and defeat the bill, having the same effect as a reconsideration. It, therefore, requires a two thirds vote of the House to allow him to vote. The } r eas and nays were called, and the House refused to allow Mr. McDonough to vote. There was an understanding between Mes srs. McDonough and Manigun, that if the former voted for the Mifflin liauk bill the lat ter would vote against it, thus defeating it. In the Seuate, the bill came up and was passed by a vote of two thirds—l7 yeas and 5 nays. The bill for the relief of the Sunbury and Erie llailroad, which we noticed a few weeks ago, has passed the Senate with some slight amendment. It has not yet passed the ordeai of the House, but from the fact that Philadelphia and the entire tier of counties through which it passes, as well as borers and speculators generally, are deeply interested in its passage, it will hardly fail. In the Senate, the bill for the relief of Daniel Zeigler was reported with a nega tive recommendation. Revision of the Tariff. A meeting of ironmasters of this State was held in Philadelphia on the 22nd inst, at which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That this meeting approve and commend the bill recently introduced in the Ilouse of Representatives by the Committees of Ways and Means, proposing to substitute specific for advalorein duties upon foreign iron and other articles imported iuto the Uni ted States. Resolved , That we regard the seventh sec tion of said bill, relating to iron and the man ufactures of iron and steel, as satisfactory and fair to all parties interested in their man ufacture, and that the duties fixed upon the principal itemsinthesectiondonotvarymater ially from oO per centum of their average val ue during the last six years, ending June 30, 1859, and are therefore based upon a fair rev? enue standard. Resolved, That the enactment of this bill will enable the American manufacturers to compete fairly with the foreign, and that it will tend to prevent those enormous fluctua tions in the price of iron, which have, under the advalorem system, been so disastrous to our home industry, in inflating prices by in creasing the duty when least needc-d, and de pressing them by reducing the duty when most required. Resolved, That we urge upon our Represem tatives in both branches of Congress to use all honorable means to pass the same without delay ; it being in accordance with the views repeatedly expressed by James Buchanan, President of the United States, in his annual messages to Congress. An Unlucky Candidate. General H. D. Foster, the Democratic nominee for Governor, remarks an ex change, has been singularly unfortunate in his efforts to obtain public office. Fifteen years ago, he was elected to Congress in the Westmoreland, Indiana and Cambria district, then good for 2,500 Democratic majority, and in 1850 and '57 he served in the Legislature. He came to the Legisla ture to secure, if possible, his election to the United States Senate, but he never could command more than a corporal's guard of strength. The first year he was beaten three to one by "weak-kneed Big ler the second year Forney ran off with the nomination. Foster then tried to get up a bolt, and to induce the Republicans and Americans to join his little band of ad herants, and elect him, but they respect fully declined. While Foster was inno cently negotiating with the Know Noth ings to elect him, Gen. Cameron received the Anti-Forney Democrats, and, with the united opposition vote, was elected. V hen Foster found, to his unutterable sur prise, that Cameron was elected he changed his vote, and gave it to Forney! In 1858 he was nominated for Congress in the Westmoreland, Indiana, and Arm strong District, and it was hoped that his negative qualities would secure for him an election ; but John Covode beat him to the tune of eleven hundred. He has thus been shown to he exceedingly weak before the people — a f a et of which there will be ad ditional proof a day or two after the Octo ber election. gfcg~The Huntingdon Union says Thos. 11. Burrowes is a strong republican. Not so— Mr. 8., a fow years after the buckshot war, naturally became a democrat, and is one still. LOCAL AFFAIRS. Eap-The Town Council's resolutions of instructions to the High Constable, relative to disorderly houses, published in our pa per last week, fell like a bombshell among those who thought they had all the recent prosecutions nicely arranged for settlement about the time court would meet. We will here add that it is an indictable offence against prosecutors, magistrates, or others to settle such transactions without the con sent of the court —a fact which may as well be generally known now that the power of the law is about to be tested. Bia?"The new Town Council held a meet ing on Friday evening and made the fol lowing appointments: Treasurer —C. Hoover, Esq., with in structions to redeem all orders hereafter is sued on demand. Clerk—George Frysinger. Messenger—Howard Hclman. Regulators—lt. H. M'Clintic, C. Hoov er. / Proposals for lamplighting were read, when John lJerryhill was selected at SSB per annum. We may here add that the new Council have made no appointment of High Con stable, as may be inferred from the Demo crat. The Council of last year, at their meeting after the late election, undertook to make an appointment, but we have good reasons for knowing that a majority of the new council deny all right of an outgoing body to appoint officers for theui. The Democrat is also wrong in stating that street commissioners were appointed, and as tor its lamentations over the decapitation of " Simon Pearl, democrat," they are de cidedly spoonish. SCHOOLS. —Thy directors we learn have determined to re open the schools for two months from the 15th April. It appears to us that the funds necessary to do this would have been better appropriated to re building that old crow's nest, the armory, and converting it into a wore suitable place for teachers and children than it has been. yC Jtef The mountains caught tire from a locomotive on Thursday last, and run over a large extent of ground in the neighbor hood of Bixler's gap. This is becoming a serious nuisance, and it seeius to us the Railroad Company ought to take, or be made to take, some precautious against such conflagrations. BjSsuSome ehanges have been made in two of our principal hotels this spring, Moses A. Sample having taken the stand long occupied by Thos. Mayes, and Sheriff Williams the Lewis town Hotel in place ol James Murray, who goes to jail. O@,A negro, named George Gordon, was arrested in Williainsport, on the 10th inst., and lodged in jail, but subsequently discharged, on a charge of stealing a silver watch and a 8-0 Lewistown Bank bill, in Wayne township, in this county, in Decem ber last, at the residence of Samuel With row, Esq. jfeaS" >lr. Pratt of this place last week either lost or was robbed of his pocket book in Stone Valley, Huntingdon county. It contained a considerable amount of notes and other papers with some money. BguAn old man, supposed io be Jacob Kuhn, has been gathering contributions in Centre county on the pretext that he was lately burnt out near Lewistown. The pro ceeds were duly invested in tanglefoot. weather was cold and bluster ing up tu Tuesday, when it again modera ted. SMALI, POX. —As a number of persous in thia place are no doubt fearful of this disease, the following given by a medical gentleman to a New York paper may be of interest. lie says that from all the inform ation he can obtain from medical men now having cases of Small Pox under treatment, that there is no house where gas is burned, of the ordinary consumption, in which the disease has yet found lodgment. It is a powerful disinfectant, and hence there is no contagion within the circle of its influ ence. He says that a person burning gas may contract the disease abroad and take it home with him, but it will not be com municated to auy other member of the fam ily. According to this, the inducement to burn gas instead of other lights, is more than merely rests on its superiority. Township Elections. UNION TfJ-WNSHIR. Judge—Miles Ilaffly.

Bloody Traces of a Terrible Conflict.- Another terrible and mysterious hagedy became public near New York last week which, from present appearances, promises to unfold a chapter in crime of the most barbarous character. The facts are these- On Thursday, the 15th inst., the sloop A K. Johnson, of Tslip, L. 1., ('apt Ceore Burr, sailed from the foot of Spring street hound to Virginia for a load of oysters On Sunday, the 19lh inst., having callcd at Kcyport, she again set sail and went to sea, since which time she was not seen un til Wednesday morning, when she was jwv-ked }. between the West Bank and the Router Sboals by the schooner Telegraph, of New London, with bowsprit gone, and abandoned. When boarded, the deck presented a most horrible spectacle, leiiig almost liter ally covered with clotted blood and hair On entering the cabin, no person was visi ble, but large pools of blood lay on both sides of the stove, and in the companion way. The starboard quarter was also stain ed with bloody finger-marks. Her boat was gone. In the cabin were found a pair of India-rubber boots, several shirts, bed dings, and a number of other articles which could have been easily taken away if tin; vessel had been honestly abandoned. >@UThe patent democratic papers profess to be in favor of abolishing the franking priv ilege because it has been abused bv some members of congress; but forget to state that Douglas and Bigler were the principle ones who did abuse it.
