bulletin TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1864, - PLOT XHXUK±J?B. It will be seen by-the report of yesterday’s ; favor of the J “ “ scheme werer received in the House ; id like to see a list of the signers of these petitions. We would like t 0 k “°' v Lme of * he nameB were procure ? at - h perhfiad, and whether each of the signers re eeived a glass of whiskey for putting his name to a document, that might as well have been on any other subject under Heafen, so far as the signer would know or care. We would Uke to know whether the tactics of the Border Ruffian party in Kansas, in Lecompton times, were also imitated, and whether names were transcribed iiom an old directory; or, whether the ingenious - device of copying names at random from tomb stones and door-plates was practised, as in the ancient Fourth Ward style. There are doubtless the signatures of men of substance affixed to these petitions, for there are some men of substance who have a huge axe to grind in the monster scheme; but we have strong doubts whether the names of a dozen influential citizens will be found among the whole array of signatures, unless the per sons named have been taken into the “ring.” At the session yesterday. Mr. Smith, of Phila delphia, who seems to be the chief engineer in pinning this scandalous measure through the Legislature, submitted a petition in favor of the hill, which the reporter says was signed by the ‘•Presidents of Select and-Common Coun cils.” This matter demands some explana tion. Mr. Harper certainly never gave his official sanction to the scheme, because Common Council, over which he presides, would almost inevitably have passed resolutions protesting against the bUI, on Thursday last, had not an adjournment been hurried through; and Mr. Lynd,we are persuaded, would never have signed any such petition after Select Council had.passed resolutions strongly pro testing against the consummation of the railroad echeme. It seems most probable that the signa tures of both Messrs. Lynd and Harper, as pri vate gentlemen,were early affixed to the petition to oblige personal friends who importuned them for the use of their names. The managers of the plot then presented their petition, at Har risburg, as the prayer of both branches of City Councils. This theory would account for the anxiety of the wire-workers in the scheme to suppress all public, notice of the adverse pro ceedings of Select Council, on Thursday last, a movement in which they were successful un. til the resolutions appeared in full in the Bul tETis of Friday. This corrupt giant railway echeme was conceived in sin, brought forth in iniquity, and nursed by duplicity and double dealing. We trust that the infant monster may he strangled in its cradle.’ EXTRAVAGANCE—TAXATION. We do not sympathize with the croaking of the Copperheads, who pretend to see in every sign of national prosperity an indication of swiftly approaching ruin. On the contrary, nothing can be more assured than that this Re- public is strong enough to bear any burden which Providence can lay upon her. Within herself Ehe bears the elements of such strength as no nation ever possessed. Her fields and mines only wait for tens of millions of hands to bring forth their resources, and there is room for increase of manufactures and commerce, be yond the wildest dreams of any who have prophesied our greatness. It must he said, however, that there is a general appreciation of the fact that great sums of money are being wasted, and that extravagance is too prominent a Tice of the times. The sudden accumulation of large sums of money through government contracts, and through speculations in stocks and gold, has led to careless expenditure in al our large cities, and the example thus set has been followed by many persons who have not enjoyed the same facilities for accumulation as contractors and speculators. These facts are apparent, right on the surface, and the foul weather prophets, mostly in the interest of the rebels, keep up a dolorous clamor about the matter, and like birds of evil omen, pronounce the “end of all things at hand.” Acknowledging thus, as we do, that the sur lace indications are not economical; that too many foreign goods are imported, and that many who cannot afford it indulge in a weak, though natural, propensity for luxuries, we cannot but believe that these very things prove the affluence of the nation and her capacity to carry on war with but little detriment to the arts of peace. If the country was poverty stricken, it would show it. If bread, shelter and clothing were wanting, we would see gaunt faces, plethoric alms-houses and “looped and windowed Taggedness” on all sides. Poverty and vice would go hand in hand along our thoroughfares, and even in Chestnut street the gnm visage of famine would obtrude itself. Yet, for such extravagance as does exist, albeit not so fearful as the Copperheads would ] xepresent it, a remedy exists. It is simply j resolute, discriminating, equitable Taxation" by the National Government. Every one feels that the revenue from customs and the receipts from internal taxes are not sufficient for the meeds of the Government, and the sooner that Congress .realizes the fact the better for us SU —the better for the Administration, for it can then pay the interest on our debt with ease ■- the better for .ho contractors and speculators, ‘ 'for they will be obliged to retrench; and lastly, best for the Copperheads and croakers, for their economical souls will then no longer be scared at the signs of that national wealth and strength which now so appal them. ; . ' THE PENH MUTUAL. We call attention' to the advertisement of the Pena Mutual Insurance Company in our columns to-day.

The statement shows a prosperous condition and substantial assets. TEBY, EXTENSIVE-SALEO! 1 BEAL ESTATE , . _ to.mobrow. Jeweb A.

OFFICE OF THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR 108 THE S A NITARY COMMISSION* PHILADELPHIA, 1307 CHESTNUT STREET, JUABCH, 1861, The Committee on Finance and Donations ofther Great Central Fair, appeal for contributions in money, to those of their fellow-citizens who do not propose sending to the Fair the products of sbilj and industry. By far the larger portion of tbe money received on the occasion of the Fairs held for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission in Cincinnati, Boston, and Brooklyn, was derived from direct donations in c ash, and not from-th& proceeds of the sale of articles exposed. What th*» Sanitary Commission needs .to afford relief to the sick. and wounded soldiers is money. in large amounts and from, all sources. We call, then, upon all bank* ers, corporations, capitalists, persons living upon incomes, professional" or otherwise; in short, upon all who will not be represented in he Fair by their productions to imitate the example of those who will, and to contribute liberally in money for this great object. In New York, although their Fair is not to be held for two weeks, contri« buttons of more than $200,000' in cash have been already received, a single department of trade, that of dr > goods, having made up more tban half that sum. Brooklyn, and Cincinnati have each contributed as much in money, and certainly the wealth liberality and patriotism of Philadelphia can hardly be considered as less conspicuous than that of these communities. .Contributions will thankfully received by any of the members of the Committee.
