Pennsylvania Legislature. .ems . 03i SZSTiaItDAVIA .P3I.OOEitUDII S SENATE.-Mr. Randall presented the fol lowing papers: To the Honorable the Senate of Pennsylva nia:. I respectfully submit the annexed let ter from my client, Mr. Tatlow Jackson, and ask, that it may be placed on your re isord. The committee appointed by you to investigate the alleged corruption in the passage of a bill having reference to the consolidation of railroads in this State, have, in their report, coupled me with others as having attempted to extort money from him by false and, mischievous representations. They also accuse me of a pretended ofll - around the capital in aid of the bill. In answer to these charges I here state, that my services were sought by my client after the bill had been sent to Harrisburg, and returned to him with the assurance that it could not be passed. There was no offi ciousness, nor pretended officiousness. I was retained to act as counsel, and my con -duct was strictly in accordance with my professional duty. The annexed letter from Mr. Jackson defines my position as his -counsel, and fully indorses my good faith and fidelity to him. I ask, as a matter of lustice to me that this communication and etter may appear among your proceedings. GEORGE NORTHROP. Letter fronsTatlaw Jackson. ADBLPHIAL, Jan, 24, 1866.—George _Northrop, Esq:—DEAR :—ln looking over the reports of the Committees ap pointed by the Legislature of the State to investigate alleged corruption in the pas sage of a bill (last March) supplementary, to an act consolidating railroads in this -State, I was sorry to note that the tenor of these reports implicate you as endeavoring 'to extort money from me by false represen tationia, and that after pretended officious ness around the Capitol in aid of the bill, yoh, with others, intended to divide the money amongst you. I now address you with the wish to relieve grou from this -charge. I - fully acquit you and Mr. Wm. H. Witte of this design, and am confident that in no MB .would either of you have re tained any part of the $25,000. The high appreciation I entertained of your abilities caused me to retain you, and I believe you acted in good faith for the in terests of me, your client. As to the $5,000, I have already approved -of the disposition you made of it, as proven by the additional payment I made to you, With sincere regret that you have been subjected to annoyance on this subject, I am yours, truly, Mr. Shoemaker read a bill, incorporating the Plymouth Branch Railroad Company to build a road in Plymouth and Kingston townships, Luzerne county. Also, one permitting seated lands to be sold the same as unseated lands for non payment of taxes. Also, one allowing the Wyoming Coal and Transportation Company to increase their capital and directors.

Mr. Lowry, one allowing the Erie and Allegheny Railroad Company to extend their road to the Allegheny River. Mr. Be,ardslee, one allowing the Susque hanna and Hudson Railroad Company to extend their road from either terminal point, on or near the Susquehanna River to Luzern.), on the Delaware River, in Wayne MrHall, one to punish frauds on National Banks. The following bills were called up and passed: Incorporating the Downingtown Manu facturing Company.

Profits of Cotton Culture. In view of the interest felt in cotton cul ture, and the number of people who think of investing in cotton lands, we give the following figures, from the current number -of De Bow'd, Reuiew. The editor of that pe riodical thinks that the resulting profits represent a (minimum : The folloving table shows the expenses incurred, and the profits received, in and from the cultivation of 1,250 acres of land -1,000 in cotton and 250 in corn: EX.P.}3/7,5119. 100 hands, at $lO per month, . $12,000 100 barrels lof pork at $4O, . 4,000 40 barrels of molasses at $4O, . 1,600 Clothing for 100 hands at $5O, . 5,000 .50 first-claas mules, at $l5O, . 7,500 Wagons and farming implements, 3,500 Oxen and cows, . . . 1,500 .5,000 bushels of corn, at $l, . 5,000 Hay and fodder,l,soo . . . -Overseer's wages, . . . 2,000 Assistant Overseer's wages, . 800 Medicines, medical attendance, &c., 1,500 •Carpenter's tools, cooking utensils, &0., 1,000 Lumber, 1 000 Incidentals,l,soo . . . .

It strikes us that the items for wages,food, and clothing out to beincreased in the above estimate. The•freedmen will hardly consent to return to the provender of slaves. On the other hand, cotton. will be more than thirty cents a pound. It seems to us that these figures show that intelligent enterprise, with ordinary luck, will insure a profit on capital invested of at least fifty percent: .N. Y. World. TATLOW JACKSON' $74,400 $159,000 74,400 Ring Leopold. [From the New Orleans Picayune.] We translate from the French this curious account of the domestic life and private character of the late Sing.of the Belgians: "He was a 'tall, well-made man. He owed a good Many feminine favors during his earlier years to his handsome personal appearance, and he was not a stranger to amiable qualities, which he retained to the end of his life. When he rose in the morning, his bar ber shaved his whole beard. He break fasted, left the Chateau de Laeken, where he always lived, and came to the Palace, at Brussels. He always wore a general's uniform, and drove in town, alone, without a single aid-de-camp or equerry, in a four-horse coach. 'At the Brussels Palace he worked with the ministers, and returned to Laeken in time for dinner. He dined with his children; he rarely spoke to them, and managed them with a severe discipline; he passed the rest of the evening in a circle: he had formed for himself, and into which none of his sons or the Duchess of Brabant was admitted. The most important portion of his day was the time he gave to work with his ministers. He saw very little of his family in domestic life; he lived on ill terms with them ' and played the domes tic tyrant, especially during the last few years, for reasons which we cannot mention here.* The royal family were always weary when they knew the King was at Laeken; the Duchess de , Brabant especially suffered from this constraint.: As soon as they heard the King had left for Brussels. their faces brightened and the Duchess, an Intrepid Amazon, was soon in- the saddle clapping spurs to her thorough bred steed, or driving her low-hung buggy as fast as her horse could go. The King was extremely fond of music. His pianist would wait his orders standing in front of the piano. Leopold would appear, with a list of music in his hand, and numbers corresponding to the scores. The pianist had a copy of this list. He would say to the pianist, with out ever replying to this salutation: "Number four!" The pianist would begin to play; the King, beating time, would walk from one room to another, when the piece ended, he would return and say: "Number eleven!" and then resume his walk through the rooms. Thie would last one or two hours, with intervals of half an hour sometimes be fore he would ask for a new piece. During this half hour the pianist would stand before his instrument waiting the King's orders. When the King tired he would send in a footman to tell the pianist, "That is enough." Life in the palace was very dull and stupid, and so much the duller because the King, living without a Court, was like all per sons born poor and enriched by time, growing more stingy every year he lived. One day, at the beginning of his reign, he presented with his own hands, a banner to a choral society. He said as he gave it to the standard bearer, 'lit is heavy." The standard bearer replied in a tone intended to be flattering: "What you give, Sire, is never heavy!" This ingenious reply became popular at onee„ and was repeated with laughter from one to the other end of Belgium. The King's avarice was no secret toany body in Belgium. Nevertheless in 1848 he abandoned to the Treasury one quar ter of his privy purse, which contributed no little to his great popularity at that epoch. His official revenue was thus reduced to $600,000 ayear, which was 5200,000 less than it had been. Four years afterwards he asked Parliament to give his eldest son $lOO,OOO a year. It was granted. Two years afterwards he asked an income of $30,000 a year for his second son. It was granted; when in 1858 he married his daughter to the Archduke Maximilian, he asked Parlia ment to give her a dowry; and Parlia ment, tired with these repeated demands, refused almost unanimously. He never asked for anything afterwards. The for tune he leaves is estimated at eight or ten million dollars, the fruit of over ex aggerated economy. Judge of his thrift by one example: Three years ago the Duchess de Brabant organized in her private circle of society private theatri cals. The parts were distributed, com mitted to memory and rehearsals had made good progress. The Chateua de Laeken was admirably suited for private theatricals. It contained a theatre, but it had not been used for a great many years, and the crown architect was ques tioned to discover what it cost to fait for use. He said about $1,600 of repairs was necessary. Nothing could / be done with out the King's consent. /The estimates were laid before him; his Majesty put them in a pigeon hole and they were never heard of again. Not a word was ever afterwards said about private theat ricals in the royal family. The King lived alone in his family as he lived alone in the country. He had not a sin gle point of contact in common with the Belgians. Protestant King of a Catholic nation, a man of essentially aristocratic nature, governing an essentially demo cratio nation, an Austrian Colonel, Rus sian General, ' English Field Marshal,and always wearing the costume of the latter grade, in a country where there are no Field Marshals, he neveridentified him self with the people he was called on to govern." ► This mystery was the existence of a morganatic wife—the Baroness Von a Hanoverian lady, Decorum forbade the in= trodnction of his children, and especially of his daughter-in-law, intoner presence. She acquired a good deal of influence over the King during the last years of his life, and his children were disposed to resent her in terference whenever they thought they dis covered traces of it. This occasionally led to ill-feeling on both sides. As soon as the King died, the Baroness Von quitted Laeken and Belgium for her estate in Han over. 'She wore a widow's weeds. The King gave her at several times a sufficient amount of money to make her worth now some $200,000. It is stated the estate is not so great as is above mentioned ; he leaves $6.000,000 at most. He, by his will, divides it into four equal parts; one to the Duke de Brabant, one to the Count de Rendre, a third to the Empress of Mexico, a fourth to his servants. Every dependent receives a suitable pension, and after all their claims are satisfied, the remainder on hand goes to the Count de Flandre. GOVERNOR Cox, of. Ohio, has refused to commute the death sentence of Dr. John W. Hughes, who was convicted of the mur.. der of Miss Parsons, and is now lying' in jail Cleveland. Extraordinary efforts were made by the medical profession and the friends of the doomed man to secure the commutation of his sentence. A GENTLEMAN paid $3OO fora special train to take him from Boston to Portland, last Saturday, to catch the English steamer. He arrived in time, for the steamer did not sail till next morning, and he might have saved his money by waiting for the regular train.

On this property 15 shafts or pits have been opened and Funk to various depths from 10 to 85 het, demon strati:3g the existence of three parallel veins of ore of stout 2 feet In width and about IS feet apart; converging to a common centre at the depth of about 150 feel, fur ming one immense mass or vein of ore extending In ,•ngth through the property more than halls m.le. There are also on this property other veins of ore un explored. ..1.11 these ores are known as the brown ores, and are very rich, yielding an average of about (MO per ton In gold. The above results having been demenstratod by the rude working of the mines for several years past, the risk of investment in nude. ve loped property Is not Incurred, and by the application of modern mining and reducing machinery the Com pany antic!' ate an immediate and large return for their money. Having an ore that readily yields $ per ton, some estimate can be made of the value of this property, with the present Imperfect intern of mining. Ten tons of this ore out he taken out and reduced daily from every shalt opened at an expense not exceeding a.ii per ton leaving a net daily profit or $1,73i to each shalt worked by the Company. The large working capital reserved will enable the Company at ones to procure and erect the best modern machinery for .manlpulattng the ores, by means of which the yield will be large y Increased. Tese minee, whilst they produce ores umber Shan those of Colorado or Nevada, have many advantages over them, particularly In an abundance of fuel and sheep labor, atld the facility with which they can be worked during the entire year, whilst those of Colo redo and Nevada mn only be worked daring the warm weather.
