&|* f nn. WEDNESDAY, MABCH 23, 1865. The Children of Our Soldiers. There Is a subject now attracting the at tention of the Legislature which we trust will be considered with discrimination. ‘The story is very simple, and will illustrate our argument. In 1862, when the State authorities were organizing after the disas trous campaign in the Peninsula, the cor poration of the Pennsylvania Railroad ten dered Governor Curtin the sum of $50,- 000, to be used in raising troops. The Go vernor did not see that he had any power to disburse private contributions for State, purposes, and so retained the sum uutil 1864, when, on the Executive recommenda tion, the Legislature authorized him to ap propriate it, as his own judgment dictated, for the support of the destitute orphans of Pennsylvania soldiers. The Governor or ganized a plan exhibiting great wis dom and common sense, and which has grown and enlarged until there is now in the care of the State about four hundred orphan children, whose fathers were slain in the war, clothed, supported, and educated in schools and in private families out of the bounty of the State. As we understand the Governor’s plan, these children are only taken, by the State on the consent of the surviving parent. The cost of each scholar is from $l2O to $l3O a year, ac cording to the locality. Yet this trust has been so discreetly and prudently managed that, notwithstanding what has been done, on the first of May one half the fund will remain on hand. This shows rigid eco nomy. This year the Governor asked for an appropriation of $75,000 to enable Mm to extend the advantages of the project, and also, we understand, for- the additional power to bind' out these children, when educated, to some useful trade or profes sion. The House acted on this proposition of the Governor, to our great surprise, by passing a bill taking the trust out of the Governor’s hands, and adding it to the ge neral school fund. And, as if to utterly undo all the good thus far accomplished, and throw the poor children of our soldiers upon the charity of the worl,d, the bill of the House authorized the secretaries of the School Boards to dole out this appropria . lion in sums varying from fifteen to thirty dollars per annum. This would make these cMldren essentially paupers. While the House was tinkering it might as well have entrusted the duty of doling out these sums to the overseers of the ;poor. So far as PMladelpMa is concerned, we should a great deal rather have the Guardians of the Poor in charge of the fund than the gentlemen who have the management of the school sys tem. However, the question to be looked at by our legislatorsis simply tMs: Is the Governor’s policy right? Are we to have this great fund degraded and squandered by doling out pittances to paupers, or is it to be managed on an en . larged and liberal basis ? Are these children of sons and brothers who -have given up their lives to the country to be driven out into the cold, pitiless world without recognition or support ? The Governor by care and prudence has huilt up a charity wMch in time will be among the proudest in Pennsyl vania’s already proud Mstory, and we must insist, in the name of the people, that our representatives do not interfere in such a manner that it will be mismanaged and wasted. It is especially proper that Andrew G, Curtin should do tMs work. He is the friend of the soldier. He has identified himself with the interests of the ■army to such an extent that Ms name is spoken, with love at every bivouac and camp-fire. The soldiers know this, and -that in Ms hands their interests will be se cure. Pennsylvania has led in the move ment, and we know that in other States the Pennsylvania plan is being adopted. •Shall it be said that in the very fruition of its success this grand charity was wanton ly destroyed ? We cannot send these chil dren back to idleness and crime. They were gathered from the people, and should be trained to share m the glory of our State. By all means let the Governor be sustained in this matter, and let the House recon sider their hasty action. Vice President Johnson. We copy the subjoined article of the New York Times of Monday last, and commend it to those of our cotemporaries who seem to desire to rival the Opposition press in their assaults upon Vice President John son. It is within our knowledge that •Governor Johnson left Nashville, to at tend Mr. Lincoln’s reinauguration, most reluctantly, and greatly debilitated; but his friends insisted that he should be pre sent, and he yielded to their advice. Un questionably his indisposition on the 4th of March was the result of great physical weakness. We leam that Governor John son. is perfectly restored to his usual vigor ous heaith, and that he will Boon leave for Tennessee to assist in the ceremonies of the instalment of the fighting preacher, Wm. G. Bbownlow, in the gubernatorial chair to which he has recfently been elected by snch a large majority. The Times says: “Wc copy from the Congressional Globe a report Of the remarks by Vice President Andrew Johnson, -on taking his place as President ol the Senate, on the day or the Inauguration. There may be differ ences of opinion as to the timeliness and good taste of some ol the topics which he introduced on that ocoasion, hut few will venture, we presume, to ques tion publicly the justice of the sentiments which he expressed. Still less will any basis be found to the speech for the unmeasured and Intemperate vltupe. ration of the Vice President for which it was made the Two years ago the same journals which have been specially vehement to denouncing Mr. Johnson, teemed with similar charges upon Se cretary Seward, and subsequently Gen. Grant was subjected to the same ordeal. IndeeMt would not be easy to name any prominent member of the Go vernment, who has not, at one time or another, _ been visited by personal assaults of the same gene ral character, If bis opinion on certain phases of pub, lie affaire happened to conflict with those of the pari ties to question. One would suppose that to the Se cession and Copperhead journals of the country might safely be left the task of demolishing the cha -raeter and influence of the men to whom the people have entrusted the duties and responsibilities of •office. It is consoling, however, to know that when •ever there Is any appearance of shrinking or hesita tatlon to that quarter, there are ‘ friends’ of the Administration not only ready bnt eager to come to the rescue. No man to this country has rendered, •within his sphere, more substantial servioe to the Union cause, or earned more thoroughly the grati tude of the Union party than Andrew Johnson, and -we venture to predict that, to the future as to the •past, he will abundantly vindicate himself from the -slanders of his enemies, and the ungenerous mtaeon struction of some who have claimed to be his friends.” THB VIOB FBBSIDBNT’B BPBBOH AT THB IN AUG XT RATION.

The people, lu short, are the of all power. You, donators, you who con atltute the Benoh of the Supreme Court of the United States, are but the creatures of the American people; ytnr exaltation Is from them; the power o! this Government consists In Its nearness and ap nroxlmatton to the great mass of the people.

Humble as I am, plebeian as I may *bo deemed, permit me, In the presence of this .brilliant assemblage, to enunciate the truth that •courts and cabinets, the President and his ad visers, derive their power and their greatness from Ibe people. A'.President could not exist here forty eight hours if he were as far removed from the peo ple as the autocrat of Bussla is separated from his ■subjects. Here the popular heart sustains Prest -dont and Cabinet officers; the papular will gives them all their strength. t»uoh an assertion of the great principles of this Government may be con sidered out of plaae, and I will not consume the time of these intelligent and enlightened people much longer r bnt I could not be insensible to there great trow when I, a plebeian, elected by the peo p”tteV)N> President of these United States,*am hereto enter open the discharge of my duties. Tor Uom Unties I claim not tts aptitude of mv re speoua predecessor. Although i httye oecupled a seat in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, I am not learned in parliamentary lave, and I shall be dependent on the courtesy of those Senators who have become familiar with the rales which are requisite for the good order of the body and the despatch of its business. Ihavo only studied how I may host advance the interests of my State and of my country, and not the technical rnles of order s and if I err I shall appeal to this dignified body of representatives of States for hindness and Indulgence. . Before I oonolude tbls brief Inaugural address, in the presence of this audience—and I, though a ple beian boy, am authorized by the principles'of the Government under which I live to reel proauy con scious that I am a man, and grave dignitaries are but men— before the Supreme Uourt, the representa tives of foreign Governments, Senators, and the people, I desire to proclaim that Tennessee, whose representative I have been, is free. She has bent the tyrant’s rod, she has broken the yoke of slavery, and to-day she stands redeemed. She waited not for the exerelße of power by Congress; It waß her own act, and she is now as loyal, Mr. Attorney General, as is the State from which you come. It is the dootrlne of the Federal Constitution that ho State can go out of this Union: and, moreover, Congress oannot eject a State from this Union. Thank God, Tennessee has never been out of the Union! It is true, the operations of her Government were for a time interrupted j but she is Btlll In the Union, and I am her representative. This day she elects her Governor and her Legislature, which will be convened on the first Monday of April, and again her Senators and Representatives will soon mingle with those of her sister States; and who shall gainsay it I—for the Constitution requires that to every State shall be guaranteed a republican form of government. I now am prepared to take the oath of office and renew my allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. Outrages on Colored Citizens. If colored soldiers are to be treated witk indignity by tbe conductors of passenger cars, we mistake the temper of Philadel phia and the laws of Pennsylvania. The men who refuse to soldiefs of the United States even- the miserable privilege of riding on the platforms of the cars, at night, will be punished by the censure of the community, and ought to bear the pe nalties of the law. The insult to the uni form is plain even to those who do not care for the insult to the race . Elsewhere will be found an account of the expulsion of two colored non-commissioned officers from one of the cars of the Fifth-street road, which will make the blood of many a reader burn with indignation. Yesterday a colored man, whose only offence was that he carried a banner with the legend “ Greeley is Coming,” was beaten by a number of rowdies, and this outrage resulted in a brutal attack on one of the most eminent of our clergymen. The spirit which instigates such outrages does not rise to the dignity of wickedness. It is an extraordinary meanness, of which many ruffians, guerillas, bounty-jumpers, and pirates would be ashamed. The men ■Who would glory over the expulsion of Union soldiers from the street cars, knock down colored men from mere wantonness, and beat clergymen who to such bru tality, are so far below the level of well behaved bnites that it is doubtful if they could find common street curs to acknow ledge them as masters, 'The temperate conduct of the colored people, In spitie of these extreme provoca tions, deserves the highest praise. With out yielding to injustice, they endure it, strong' in the faith that the right must triumph. But we warn the persons who wrong them that PMladelpMa will not bear these insults much "longer. For the sake of her reputation we demand that these men, who treat free citizens as slaves, should be taught that the spirit of slave ry is banished from the North. The Hon. Wm. D. Kelley, in lecturing to-night, at Concert Hall, before the Social, Civil, and Statistical Association of the Colored People of Pennsylvania, has chosen a subject wMch is already-forced upon the attention of the American ..people. His argument will be in favor of the axiom that the colored man who is fit to fight for the Union is fit to vote for it, and it is expected that his 'speech will be one of the finest of his life. MATTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, March 21, 1865. The hardest winter in twenty years has just closed, and the floods of March, un precedented in violence and their de struction of property, North and South, are fast subsiding. We shall now proba bly have better weather by land and sea for the approaching Southern cam paign. Troops may be, transported with comfort and safety ; the blockade maintained with a firm hand and an un sleeping eye; captured railroads repaired and held; and the preparations - for the finishing blow against the rebellion ex tended and perfected. The coming season in the South is the loveliest and most salu brious of the year. The experience of the Northerners who have sojourned in Charleston, Savannah; Augusta, New Or leans, Fernandina, Nashville, or Rich mond, need hardly be referred to, where the fact itself is so universally familiar. The Government is alive to these palpably advantages, and will not be slow to-seize and act upon them. And precisely as they appear to us, actually thrust into our hands as so many irresistible weapons of offence and.vindication, sp will they b» regarded" by the rebels as destructive of their hopes. The moral element next comes in to increase and strengthen the auxiliaries of nature and of art. For at no period since 1861 has pa triotic devotion to the parent Government been so ripe and so rife at ..the South as at tMs moment, and never be fore has the rebellion been so rotten and so disgusting. And tMs moral ele ment, be it remembered, does not permeate the mudsills, “ the white trash ” alone; it leavens the whole mass. The gentlemen of• the South—rich people like Duncan of Natchez, Mr. .Levert, formerly of Mo bile, Mr, Aikin of South Carolina, (who has just freed and provided for eight hun dred of Ms slaves,) and thousands like them—have never sympatMzed with the run-mad politicians who worsMpped Cal houn, and yelled and shouted at the heels of Yancey, Rhett, Spratt, Dixon H. Lewis, and poor old James M. Mason of Virginia. In fact, the old Jackson men of the South, like the old Clay and Webster. Whigs, always looked with contempt on this. school of dema gogues. Take a cursory glance at the field and yon will realize the truth of this re mark! Of the men of the Jackson school, A. J. Donelson, his adopted' son, Vice President Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, Jere. Clemens, of Alabama, H. S. Foote, of Mississippi, like their cotemporaries and friends not now in the South, F. P. Blair and Robert J. Walker, both confidants of Old Hickory—they are now the open and defiant foes of the rebellion. In Kentucky the Union cause is supported by thou sands who rallied around' the fortunes of Henry Clay, and in Virginia and North Carolina some of the staunchest supporters of the Government of our fathers have always belonged to the same school. I can remember, as if it were yesterday, the bitter hatred of these gentlemen to Calhoun and his set, while that dangerous and subtle Cataline was weaving Ms web of treason in WasMng ton. Do you suppose they did not see at the first, as they keenly feel to-day, that these wicked traitors forced on the war, an£ forced thousands into the cur rent of blood and death against their will? It is in such a juncture that citizens so influential and so committed are asked to consider the conditions of peace offered by President Lincoln. Here, ■ and now, they will naturally contrast the stand ing and the repeated proffer of these conditions, with the confessions of failure and defeat by Davis, even as he is clamoring for their substance to keep up the rebellion. Lincoln says: “Come back, and yon shall be forgiven; protected in all your rights hut that of Blavery, de stroyed not by me, but by your own leaders. Come back, and your fields will blossom, and your coffers be filled by the aid of free labor and the reopening of the commerce .of the world.” But Davis says: “No! .We must fight and starve on—even if I have to set free your slaves, or make a treaty with England or France against the Government I swore to defend with all my energies.” It is this mighty element as sisting and strengthening Mr. Lincoln that will render his policy irresistible and the resulting peace perpetual.

Warner.— [Special Correspondence of The Press, j Kinston, N. 0., March 18,1888. WHAT KINSTON USED TO BB AND IS. On the north bank of the Nense river, thirty-three Miles by a direct route from Newborn, is a small village, numbering at this time about one thousand Inhabitants. Before the commencement of the war it was a place of some importance, and its popula tion was much larger. It dealt largely in lumber, and thousands of feet of North Carolina pine ship ped from its port form to-day the floors of many fine .Northern mansions. From this trade the mer chants of Kinston reaped a liberal profit." Nor was lumber its only source of revenue. Corn and bacon also came freely to Its market, and formed a profitable item In the bnslness of the town. But when an Intestine struggle commenced between the people of the South and their Government, the merchants of Kinston were among the first to ex perience its privations. They had no longer North ern customers, and their great article of commerce, lumber, was a drug In the market. “ A change came over the spirit of their dream,” and, seeing that no more money was to be made there, a large proportion of the Inhabitants left Kinston. The prosperity of the plaee was at an end. Ware houses which had formerly teemed with wealth were abandoned entirely, or became hospi tals for sick and wounded soldiers. Comfor table dwellings were deserted, and, begrimed with dust and overgrown with moss, gave a cheerless aspect to the onbe lively, town. Kinston once boasted a hotel quite large for snob a small place. The war took bnstotn from this hostelry, and it be came a hospital. It was at this town that Foster fought and won a battle in 1863. ITS STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE. Of late Kinston has again grown important lit a military aspect. Some two or three weeks ago, General Lee Is reported to have indicated Kinston as a point whioh must be held at all hazards by the Confederates. This expression was caused by the necessity of preventing an advanoe from Newbern upon Goldsboro. ~ - Three days ago a ehange of Lee’s programme was evinced, as the last of the rebel army marched out of the town, and went by rail westward. This plaee, which must at aU'hazards continue in allegi ance to the stars and bare, now exhibits the star spangled banner flying proudly from the head, quartern of the Northern general commanding the Department of North Carolina. BVAOVATION OP THS TOWN. On Saturday last the evacuation of the town was commenced, on Monday, as I have stated, it was completed. Meantime, our army lay quietly upon the ether side, having no means of getting across, except by a scow, which Is hot available to cross an army in the face of an enemy. Pontoons were needed, but they could not arrive until yester day, when they were laid In a rather [pecu liar manner. The bottoms of the boats, over which the planks of a pontoon-bridge are laid, are almost invariably made of substantial boards. Upon this occasion they consisted simply of canvas. This was probably adapted because It was more easily carried than wood. The boats were moored in a very strong ourrent. The Neuse, In deed, near Kinston, runs like a mill-race. 'When the oanvas'admitted, water into the boat it was pumped out. So the bridge proved a strong and very useful one. It was built yesterday afternoon. The morning before Its construction some.skirmish eis passed over In a scow and occupied the town. During the afternoon most of the army also orossod over. General Carter’s troops were the first to cross, A part of our forces marched through the town and encamped outside, while others esta blished themselves In the deserted dwelling-houses. This morning General Schofield and hie staff en tered the town, and established bis headquarters In a tasteful frame house near the entrance of the town. THU REBEL PORCBB. Previous to our late advance, Kinston had been garrisoned by the 67th North Carolina Regiment, commanded by Col. Whitford. Recently he was reinforced by Hoke’s division, from Wilmington, and a part of Hill’s division. Their whole forcer Is estimated at from twelve to fifteen thousand. It was commanded by the redoubtable Gen. Bragg, who has fairly won, If he has gained nothing else during the war, the title of the Great Evaeuator. The rebels, knowing that immediate pursuit on our part was impracticable, departed leisurely, and took nearly everything of value wltkthem, They left, however, on their inner line of fortifications, two dismounted guns, which fell into our posses sion. A large quantity or ammunition, which was found stowed away in a bomb-proof, was most valu able. Attempts had evidently been made to ex plode this by a slow match, but they had failed. A REBEL HAM AND ITS PATH, Inaid or the defence of Kinston the rebels had constructed a terrible creature called a ram. At White Hall, about ten miles above here, they were for months engaged in building her. Six months ago she was so far completed that she was launched and towed down to Kinston. Here she was tho roughly Iron-plated, and otherwise put In a fancied condition to destroy numerous Yankee fleets. But the fatality which has usually attended Southern enterprises of this nature rendered this ram as use less as the majority of her predecessors. It may be said, adapting a well-known Baying in regard to cu linary operations, of the rebel shipbuilding, that Providence sends timber, but his Satanic Majesty sends workmen. This Tam was loaded with such a weight of metal that whenever the tide was low she invariably rested upon the bottom of the river, and When the tide was rising her machinery was too weak to enable her to stem the current and get down into deeper water. For. the last two weeks she has been inextricably aground, and all the ef. lorts of her crew to move her into a position or usefulness to the rebel cause have been fatlle. She lay some two or three miles above here, and when the evacuation of the town was determined upon it became necessary to destroy her that she might not fall into our hands. She was accordingly burned on Saturday last. Her remains are stiU visible, looking like an awkwardly-huilt'house of Iron. Her armament consisted of two slxty-four poonder Parrott guns. A REBEL CHANGE OP PLAN. ' The evacuation of Kinston 'was caused, as was In dicated in my previous despatches, by the threaten ing position of Gen. Sherman. It was a place capa ble of long and persistent derencs, possessing many advantages in being surrounded by swamps and having a deep, swift Aver in front. It is hardly probable that the rebels oan now make a stand at Goldsboro, for there they would be liable to simul taneous assaults and flanking movements from the columns of Sherman and Schofield. BALBIGH REPORTED TO BB BRAGG’S DESTINATION. Indeed, the inhabitants of Kinston say that, from what they were enabled to gather from the rebel officers, their troops left this place direct for Raleigh, which Is now Indicated as the place for a future struggle. Perhaps the capital of North Carolina has been selected as the “last diteh” of the Con federacy. It would seem that, In permitting the junction of our two columns in North Carolina, the rebels have thrown away their last ohanbe, for no one believes that they can muster an army except Lee’s to oppose Sherman and Schofield united, and Lee’s army is fully occupied in attending to Grant and Sheridan. GOLDSBORO DEEMED UNDEFENDED. It Is now considered by many that we shall march into Goldsboro when it salts us so to do without op position. We can Bcaroely occupy it for some days, however* even ir the rebels leave It, without a gar rison, on account of the difficulty of transporting supplies, until the railroad Is completed. The con struction train is now busy in laying rails, about Blx miles from Kinston, but It has many obsta cles to overaome before It can complete its werk to this point. Many of the sleepers are yet to be bnllt, and the road on which they are to be laid is in many places muddy and swampy. The bridge, which is yet to be constructed, is a long one, ex tending not only over the Neuse river but across a long space of low and marshy ground. To build this bridge will occupy at least four days. COUCH’S MARCH. The march by which Gen. Couch joined cur troops at Beaver Creek furnishes another item of the ra pidly accumulating evidence of the utter weakne3B of the rebel cause. With a force whleh, in the earlier days of the rebellion, could scarcely have moved unsupported over one-quarter of this distance of lebel soil, he marched without opposition, and at will, npon Wilmington, almost to Kinston, a dis tance overland of nearly one hundred miles. The troops left Wilmington on Saturday, the 4th Inst., and reached their destination in a week s time, ar riving on the 11th; I learn from Inhabitants that the prisoners which the rebels captured from ns on the eighth were sent west, by railroad some time before the evaouatlon. KINSTON’S DEFENCES. The defences of Kinston consist of two very strong lines of earthworks. The outer line Is Con structed immediately on this side of Sonthwest Greek, waa-pallsadea and ditohed, and swept the road leading to the town with four guns. It would have been very difficult to take this position by assault, as on each side of the road was a huge swamp, which would probably have rendered futile all attempts at flanking these fortifications. The Inner line Is even stronger than the: other, and is bnllt npon the river hank only a short distance of the town. THB INHABITANTS BBMAIN IN THB TOWN. Bebel families seem to have learned that It Is wiser to continue In a place which is about to be cap tured by our forces than to follow up, with suoh goods as they oan carry with them to a hurried march, the retreat of tneir constantly evacuating armies. At least, If the state of affaire In Kinston be any criterion of the feeling on the subject to the rest or the Confederacy, such la the case. Vary tbw, If any, are the people who have abandoned Kins ton dnring our late ad ranee. They preferred re mainlßg. rOBITION OB TBS BBBBLS, Our cavalry, to scouting this morning, oame across the enemy’s pickets about seven miles from here.

The movements for several days within toe rebel lines gave rise to this expectation. Our troops are eager to have too attack made. An early evacuation of Petersburg Is looked for. It Is reported that Sherman and Schofield are moving up too Weldon Railroad. Our troops wara never In more magnificent spirits. The Advntiscr. says.: “ A war clap will soon be heard In a quarter least expected by friend or foe.” pbobaWe junction of his^AJ^my ABEIYAL OF HIS ADVANCE AT WILSON'S LANDING ON ¥HE JAMI& €. E. School,— (Special Correspondence of Thu Frees. ] - Yesterday forenoon three dense columns of smoke were seen rising aoross the river northwest of this point, and apparently ten miles or more Inland. Night before last a bright light was observable In the same direction. What the meaning of these fires may be, puzzles eonjeotnre. They were not apparently within the lines of the Army of the James. I>ast evening after dark, and until ten o’clook, what are supposed to have been the oamp Ires of Sheridan’s army oould be plainly seen across the river. They appeared to ha not more than eight or ten miles distant, and were not'di rectly opposite this point, but somewhat down the river, In the direction of Harrison’s Landing, Mc- Clellan’s final base in the Peninsula campaign. About seven miles below Harrison’s Landing, on the north bank of the river,- is Wilson’s Landing, to which a direct road leads from White House It Is supposed, therefore, that Sheridan la marohlng for this point, there to embark his troops. His horseß have been ridden so far and so rapidly that many of them are shoeless, and a detachment of farriers accordingly proceeded down the river yesterday morning to meet them and repair damages. Ano ther fact, significant of the proximity oi Sheridan’s army, Is the circumstance that hts two scouts, who reached here several days ago with despatches, were sent to rejoin him night before last, most probably with despatches of an important nature. Wabhinotow, March 21,1865. [Special Despatches to The Press. 1 A SLIGHT MISTAKE. The statement extensively circulated last week that a laborer In the Treasury Department had picked up a package containing $170,000, whloh he returned to the Secretary, had no other foundation than the fact that one of the employees discovered some cancelled obligations, of no value to anyone, among the waste paper. Business is not done In so careless a manner In the Treasury Department that Immense sums are likely to be found lying around loose.' The health of Secretary Stahtow la gradually breaking down under the immense pressure of his official duties.

He sayreve rythlsg has been made ready for the impending evacuation of Richmond, which is (constantly ex* peoted,and that the damage by Sheridan's raid is believed to be considerable. Four divisions of Lee's army had gene to North Carolina, and Lee himself had gone to Raleigh. This gentleman estimates the force about Richmond and Petersburg at sixty thousand, and there are about ten thousand emer gency men at Richmond. The army In North Carolina he says numbers about forty-five or fifty thousand, a large proportion undisciplined con scripts.

Although the report is unofficial, we are inclined to believe it—at any rate, we can assure our readers that they will hear good news In a very short time." The War Department has later advices which contradict the above report, and show that at the time referred to Sherman had not received the slightest check. BABRINBUKU. PENNSYLVANIA STATE AGENCY. Col.

Mr. MILLER delivered a speech giving four reasons •why the hill should pass These reasons were: i. That a large park was desirable. 2 That the property designed to he purchased was properly located. 3. That the around and material were admirably fitted for the porpoie; and 4. That the ground should be se cured now The speech of Hr. Hiller was lent thy* thoroughly exhanftirg the argument in favor of the measure. Mr. KB&NS said that the city already had a park* and that the taxes of Philadelphia were too heavy to incur the expense by a purchase at present, Mr DOhNZLLY said that ihe purchase would run the oily debt up to over sixty mil .ions of dollars. He declered the bill to be infamous. Hr QDIGLES declared that twelve out of eighteen member* from Philadelphia were opposed to the bill. Vhe taxes next year even under ordinary clrcum b ances. would reach S 3 30 on the hundred. Mr. THOMAS said that the opponents of the bill had neglected to state that the available assets of the city were over twenty-millions, and that there was really only an excess of debt of fifteen millions. This sum web hut a trifle to be met by a wealthy municipality. 3he bill was killed by a vote of 61 noes to 28 ayes. The Philadelphians all voted “no” except Freeborn, Joiephg, Miller, Rnddiman. Smith, and Thomas. An act incorporating the Ephrata and Lancaster Bail read passed to third reading and laid over. Also, incorporating Coal Field Railroad Company.
