The circulation of the wag lessened a
little during the first year of tire war, but i$ now
greater than four years ago. Our
_greatest gain has
been on the Northicestela Chrishon - Advocate and
Christian Apologist. the circulation of the former
having increased over eleven thousand, and the lat
ter nearly the tame.
Owing - to the large advance in the cost of stock it
'was found necessary to increase tlte price of books
and periodicals. The increase, however, has not
been in proportion to the advance in the Material
hence the profits on the regular trade have not •
been proportionate to the increase of the business.
Though the net profits are a little more for the term
just closed than during the preceding one, conside
rable of this amount has been received for adver
tising. The net profits, after deducting iit18,417 42,

TWELFTH AIsTNITAL COMMENCE WENT OF
TAE Counspn Hum SCHOOL.—On Wednesday and
Thursday last occurred the twelfth annual com
mencement exercises of the Institute for Colored
Youth. The former of these days was occupied
with the public examination of classes at the insti
tute building, 710 and 718 Lombard street. Among
the audience we noticed Et. Bev. Alvaro Patter,
Vey. Dr. Win. Mann, and other eminent persons.
The rooms were crowded throughout the entire day.
Classes were examined in Greek, Latin, mathema
tics, and the higher English steams, and they gene
rally acquitted themselfeS creditably. Rev. Dr.
Blinn created considerable interest in the Greek
them, and by reciting
an
classes

Te " s ' e ng elasses were led over
the Creek rr est:uncut. extracts from Homer, Lucian,
and Anacreon. The Latin classes showed tiami
liarity the Latin of Virgil, Cicero, Santin i
and Horace. The Greek and Latin scanning and
parsing were well spoken of by competent judges. '
The classes" in mathematics generally did well. The
English. analysis and mental arithmetic were excel
lent so was the spherical trigonometry. The "Bible
Lessen" was superb. But a portion of the exercise
in Euclid was rather poor, though out of a class of
nineteen in this study eleven did very well, and
atoned for the partial failure of their comradds. The
principal publicly stated that his classes had no pre
vious knowledge whatever of the questions, tSt. what
particular passages they were put to.
Much interest wasmanifested in the distribution
of prizes. A fund, yielding about one hundred dol
lars annually, was, some years ago, donated to the
corporation from an unknown Source for this put.-
pose Mr. M. U. Cope, secretary of the corpora
tion, distributed the prizes as fellows : To Thomas
H. Bonus and Harriet U. Johnson, each $l5, for ex
cellence in mathematics; to John Wesley Crom
well and Mary V. Brown, each *as, for superiority
in Greek and Latin 3 to :lames L. Smallwood and
Elizabeth Handy, each 'Bl._ ,0 the prize for diligence
and good conduct, and to Theophilus .T. Minton and
Margaret A. Masten, each 75, an honorary prize.
On Thursday morning, the anniversary of the
Alanmi Association was held in gansom-street
which was comfortably tilled. Mr. B. H. Brewster
and other prominent citizens were present. The
nest address, delivered by John H. smith ' a gra
duate of the Institute, was on a " Diode . " States
man.?' It was very intelligently discussed and well
received.
An obituary notice of Mr. E. Ayers, written by M.
F. Minton, was read next by Caroline R. Le Count,
all alumni of the Institute. The composition itsolf
wee very creditable, and the reading ofit excellent.
Then came a political address on the "Aspect of
the Times," by John J. Allen, also a graduate of
the histitute. The eloquent young' gentleman han
dled the sultject well, and was frequently interrupt
ed by applause.
The Afumni Oration was delivered by R Bas
sett. the Principal of the institute. His sultieetwas
the ..Elements of Permanent Governments and So
cieties," which was discussed at some length, in an
able manner_ For nearly one hour and a half the
undivided attention of the audience was given to
this argumentative, humorous, and philosophic ota
tion.
The orator said that neither form, territory, popu
lation, commerce, wealth, physical wen-being, mi
litary nor intellectual greatness, either separately
or collectively, was sufficient to constitute perma
nent govermnents.
Helirought vrominently before the audience ex
ample's from hittory, elassie and modern, to establish
his position : that while all the aforesaid character
istics of well-ordered society were essential yet
there must be added virtue, liberty, and a higitmo
ral and religious development.
He contended that the grand elements of civiliza
tion may be classed under two heads—inner and
outer—Subjective and objective ; that this classifica,
tion is itself complex ; but that the inner should lead
in every one of its elements. He alluded to Mr.
Herbert Spencer's recently-expressed and deserv
edly-popular political axiom, that civilization is the
passing from homogeneous to heterogeneous, and
thought we ought not to receive it, as Mr. S. seems
to apply it to external forms alone.

In [Ili: evening occurred the rhetorical and clocu
. tionary exercises of the undergraduates.. At an
early hour Concert Ball was crowded to its utmost
capacity. About one-third of the audience were
respectable white fellow-citizens. On the platform
sat the trustees, teachers, alumni, and a portion of
the pupils. The orations _and essays were, as a
whole, highly commendable. One of the young
ladies read an essay on John Bright, which was
greatly applauded. A little fellow, of about four
teen summers, bearing the suggestive name of
Toussaint L'Onverture Martin, kindled a flame of
excitement and applause by reciting a poem of his
own composing. There were other meritorious
productions, but the interest of the evening
Centred in an address by Mr. O. V. Catto,
who graduated at the Institute in 1818. The scope
of the address was to give a history of the
tution, which he did very ably and satisfactorily
indeed. Front this address, it appeared that the in
stitution was incorporated by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania in 1141 The members of the corpora
tion are exclusively members of the Society of
Friends. The object aimed at is to afford gratai
toasty lo colored youth, of both sexes, a good High
School education, that they may be qualified to act
as teachers alllon'T their own people, or in other
useful capacities. ' Thirty-six have pursued the full
course of study. These are, generally, in useful
callings. The average daily attendance at the In
stitute is about 100. The teachers, six in number,
are all colored. The amount of the fund is now
*BO,OOO and upwards, which has been almost entirely
given by members of the Society of Friends—one of
.them gave *13,000, another $lO,OOO, am. The detail
of facts was very ingeniously woven together, and
the address itself possessed more than ordinary lit
racy merit. .

Among the cases decided by the Supreme Court at
Ilarrisburg ol) Wednesday was one of considerable im
portance to shipping and coin - int.:den merchants doing
business , by Means of the Pimply] t cuts Railroad Com
pany. The opinion in the case, which we here publish,
was delivered by Judge Strong.
Shipper et al. vs. The Penasyl squibs Railroad Com
pany. This WaS au action brought to recover back what
is alleged to have been an overcharge for freight on
grain and flour carried for the plaintiffs by the de
fendants over their railroad from Pittsburg to Ph traded
phia, between November 1, 18t31, and March 31, 1862.
The allegation is that the defendants demanded and re
ceived from the plaintiffs for the transportation more
than was demanded from others for similar transporta
tion, end mere than was allowed by what id , called the
commutation net of Dlarch 7, 1501.
The plaintiffs wore commission merchants, Mid deal
ers in flour and grain, residing and doing. business ilk
Philadelphia. They owned a flouring, mill, at Wheel
tug., in the State of Virginia, where they purchased
grain, and manufactured flour. I'll is they sent at their
own cost to Pittsburg, and delivered it there to defend.
ante, to be transportod to Philadelphia. The rates de-
Mended for the carriage were fifty-nine cents per 100
His, and sometimes higher, varylug, in accordance with
a general rule of the company that- flour and grain
brought to rom beyond the limits of the
State, to he shipped to Pittsburg,'Phi ladelphia, should be charged
at rates proportioned to the through-freights then exiat
ing frelli the point ut which the goods started, or at the
proportionate rate which the defendants would have
charged had they received them at 0/termini of depar
ture and carried thou 4 through. These rates. the plain.
tilts allege, were excessive, and they insist the defend
ants were bowel to carry their flour and grain at the
rates then charged for what was denominated "local
freight, that time thirty-six cents per hundred
pounds for flour and grain, front Pittsburg to Philadel
phia. Haying paid the alleged over-eharge, they son/
seek to recover it back, on the ground that it Was
illegally demanded and paid under coercion:
The charter of the defendants authorizes them from
time to time to establish, demand, and receive such
rates of toll or other compensation for the use of their
road, and for the motive power and for the transporta
tion of passengers, merchandise, and commodities, as
to the president and directors shall seem reasonable,
not exceeding a maximum prescribed. There is no ex
pressed stipulation that the rates and charges shall be
equal to all who may offer goods for transportation over
the road. Such stipulations arc common in Buglish rail
way charters, and they are found in some charters of
railroad companies in this country. They are, how
ever, but declaratory of what the common law is. It
was so said in Sanford vs. The Catawiesa Railroad Coin
puny, 12 Harris, 078, and there is'eertainly good rea
son tor denying such co.-Panic.: the power to discrimi
nate between perioilla Offering goods for -transportation.
it seems to be implied in the power given them to esta
blish reasonable rates, that the rates trust be fixed
equal and impartial; but the principle is inapplicable to
this case. Here was no discrimination against the
Plaintiffs, no distinction made between persons. The
rates demanded from the plaintiffs for the traneporta
•
lion of their flour and grain were those demanded from
all others iu like circumstances. Every shipper who
started such products from an extra-territorial point of
departure on the way to Philadelphia, as the place of
ultimate destination, was required to pay the same
prices /Or carriage over the railway of the defendants,
The rates were established by general fele, and of
them the plaintiff; had notice before their ship-
Menlo. The rule was applicable alike to citizens
of Pennsylvania and to those of other States;
to all who traded in such article's. No reason exists for
assailing it its unreasonable or as discriminating be
tween customers of the road, utile.. it is found in the
fact that 'local freight '• Was charged loss at tho time
when the plaintiff's property was delivered to the de
fendants for transportation. No other reason hits been
assigned. The rates of local freight were, however,
exceptional, and authorized as such by the commata
lion tonnage act of March 7, MI, to which we shall
presently refer. The nature of the two regulations.
one for "local freight " within the meaning of the act
of Assembly, and the other for that which is not such,
has been misunderstood. In no just souse can the
adoption and enforcement of a rate of tolls for the
transportation of merchandise which is the subject of
domestic trade carried in the prosecution of such trade,
and a dillbreut rate for Minna' articles imported and
carried in the conduct of a foreign or extra-territorial
trade, be regarded as a discrimination between indi
viduals. The benefits of reduction on domestic trade
are extended to all persons alike, and the burdens upon
that which is not 'domestic are imposed etillally upon
all. We are not prepared to 'say that a railroad com
pany may not discriminate in its rate of tolls iu favor of
domestic trade over foreign; in favor of home products
over those which are extra-territorial, especially whoa
the railroad lies wholly within the State. Owner
ship may not he a reasonable ground for a distinction,
but weight, bulk, value, place of production, and many
other things, may be.
But:the action of the defendants, of which the plain
tiffs complain, had the implied, if not the expressed,
sanction of the Legislature in the commutation act, to
which reference has already been made. This is Quite
manifest when it is construed in the light of it, history,
and in view of the erne existing at the time of its pas
sage, and which it sought to'romedy. Those evils affect
ed solely aiDr domestic trade. The tonnage tax, pre
viously imposed, fell inevitably upon those armies
which were not brought upon the road front beyond the
limits of the State, in other words, upon our home pro
duets and articles employed in our internal commerce.
Goods of every description, products of the soil or
mines, brought from Ohio or Virginia, or any other
'Western State, had several outlets to Eastern markets.
They enjoyed the - benefits - of competition between the
various carrier companies, and. it was, therefore, in the
Power of their owners to compel thePonnsylvania Rail
road Company to transport such goods at rates equally
lose with those of companies in other States not bur
dened with any tonnage tax. In order to participate in
the business' of transporting such merchandise, there
fore, it became necessary for the contr....4y lo relieve the
shippers indirectly front the charge of the tax, and, of
course, to compensate themselves for this relief by in
creasing the rates demanded for carrying domestic pro
ducts and sneh goods as had no choice or routes to mar
ket, Thus, in effect, the whole tonnage duty was paid
by our domestic trade, and goods oto.okod "on their mar
ney;from points beyond the limits of the State escaped
the burden entirely, at the expense of the domestic
trader. Practically, this was discrimination - against
home trade and production. It produced what is
historically known to have been a fact. Goods
were carried by the defendants over- their road
and its connections from points far west of Pittsburg to
Philadelphia for smaller prices than were required to
be paid for the transportation of similar goods from
Pittsburg to the same point of delivery. Thus the extra
territorial trade had an immense advantage over the
domestic, and our own traders and citizens were taxed
to give to others an advantage in our own markets, All -
this was before the mind of the Legislature when the
commutation act was passed, and one of its main pur
poses was to provide a remedy for this practical dis
crimination against our own trade and people. This is
plainly evidenced in the preamble to the statute, which
recites that the tonnage tax fell " indirectly on flour,
grain, cattle, iron, minerals, and other domestic pro
ducts transported on one line of improvements," while
similar products transported on other lines were exempt
from the same, "to the ininry of our internal trade and
commerce," and recites also that the defendants agreed
to "make reduction for the transportation of 'local
trade.' " Hence the second section of the act required
the defendants to make a reduction of their charges for
transportation of local freight as fixed by their toll-sheet
or February 1, IS6I, equal to the full amount of the ton
nage duty chargeable upon sack freight. It fixed also a
maximum rate of charges thereon_ It carefully avoided
prescribing any regulation of charges for that Which
Was not "local freight," leaving - that to be determined
by competition and the general laws of trade. To say
that the prescribed reduction of the rates upon one kind
of freight inured for the benefit of all kinds, requires us
to lose sight of the avowed purpose of the act, and of
the distinction which it makes between rates of freight
from Pittsburg eastward and rates from points west of
Pittsburg.
What, then, is local freight, as understood and in
tended by the Legislature in the commutation act'? The
answer is not quite plain at first eight, yet a careful ex
amination of the second section will lease no doubt in
what sense the term was used. It was freight the
charges of transportation of which were fixed by the toll
sheet of February' 1, 1861, on all trade carried between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, whether carried the entire
distance, or to an intermediate station, or between in
termediate stations. Thus the company was required
to reduce their ehargee for transportation of their local
freight, as fixed by their toll-sheet. The act. then pro
ceeds to declare what the whiter and summer rates
shall be on all "trade carried between Philadelphia
and Pittsburg," and requires the company to Fite in the
office of the Auditer General "a ton-sheer of their rates
of Charges fur thug transportation of local freight, ae-
Veep:titled hy a statement of the reduction to be made
in pursuance of jtho act." If `local freight'' means
simply that which is carried over only a part of the
road, then no reduction was prescribed for shippers
Pittsburgfrom to Phi indelphia, thOugh. the Company
was relieved from the payment of it tonnage duty on the
goods forwarded by them. I think, therefore, it must
be conceded that other freight thatr that which passes
over only apart of the road is entitled to the required
reduction. Yet it is clear that the act makes a distinc
tion between that which is "local freight" and that
width is not ; and I think we should overlook the pur
pose of the Legislature, to manifest in the preanlide,
and we shmild forget the mischief intended to be reme
died, if we held that all freight was local which does
not come Upon the defendants' road over connecting
Western lines, and covered by through bills of lading.
What needed protection and relief were our internal
trade and our tlidnostie products.
Shippers of flour and grain that commenced. their
transit in other States toward an Eastern market,
whether coming to Pittsburg by rail or by steamboat,
were net the sufferers under the old rates of charges.
They Were not 'within the nii,ehief, and noremedy could
have been intended for them, They had an advantage
which our domestic trader and producer did not enjoy.
And this explains what was meant by " local freight."
It 'was not simply what was owned by citizens of Penn
vania,not exclusively donmstieproiductseven, though
they were doubtless largely in the mind of the Legisla
ture, but articles transported in the prosecution of our
o wn intereal trade as contrasted with those brought
from :thread into the State, or carried through by a con
tinuous transit. 'The latter is not local, and no pro
vision was made any rate - of charge for its transpor
tation, ' 'l's the latter class the flour and grain of the
plaintiffs belonged, arid they were COUSeqltentiy not
entitled to the reduction required to be made upon local
freight.
It it hardly necessary to say there is nothing in the
Constitution er this, United States that prohibits a dis
crimination between local freight and that which is
extra-territorial, when it commences its transit. Stich
a discrimination denies to no citizqp of another State
any privilege or immunity which ie does not deny to
our own citizens. We have already seen it is not a
personal distinction. Thejudgment is affirmed.

COsfelt vs. The Frankfeird and Southwark Passenger
Railway Company. This was an action to recover
damages for permanent injuries resulting from a broken
leg, ot casioned, as was alleged, by the negligence and
want of ordinary care on the part of defendants or their
agents. The facts, as proven, were that, In August
last, plaintiff was riding in cue of defendants' cars, be
-t-vreon Franktiord and the depot; at the moment of the
ace: dent he was standing on a step of the back platform.
The front wheel of • the ear passed over a loose and
broken rail, )vhich formed part of the track. The
hind wheel tilted the rail so that au end of it struck the
step, breaking it, throwing plaintiff off, and causing a
compound fracture of the leg, below the knee. His at
tending surgeon testified that the ieg would never again
be perfectly sound and strong, and that he doubted
whether plaintiff' could, with safety to his health, here
after follow his calling—viz: that of a machinist. It
was in evidence also that this broken and dale Brous
rail had been in that condition on the track, twining
part of it, for several days before the accident. Yeydict
for. plaintiff, $2,20.

seeks to recover under a sheriff's deed, the property
Laving, Leon so ld sni d er execution as belonging to de
fendant's father. Defendant holds possession and de
tomb; under title from his father, the property having
been conveyed to him for a nominal consideration at a
date prior to the judgment under which it was sold at
sheriff's sale. Plaintiff alleges that this conveyance was
in fraud of creditors. Defendant, on the other hand,
says that the father at the time being perfectly solvent,'
bad a right to convey to whom he pleased. 011.

It is believed that no securities offer so great induce
ments to lenders as the various descriptions of
Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness the faith or
ability of private parties, or stock companies, or sepa
rate communities, only is pledged for payment, while
for the debts of the United States the whole property of
the country is holden to secure the payment of both
Principal and interest in ooin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from 350
up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thas
made equally available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at
any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the
interest.
It may he useful to state in this connection that the
total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest
is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1334, was
$763,9e45,000. Ths.interest on this debt for the coming

It will be seen that even the present geld revenues of
the Government are largely in excess of the wants of
the Treasury for the payment of gold interest, while the
recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the an

portations to $100,000,000 per annum.
