upon the expediency of suchrezumption.
It decided that taking the Lackawaxen
section of the Delaware and Hudson

prescribed, was altogether inexpedient.
But, in the course of the aforesaid ex

was, in fact, using its New York Ben
chines within our borders without au

_the following session of
the Legislature, a bill was introduced
waiving the State's nght to resume the
franchises granted to Mr. Worn, and
authorizing the Delaiare and Eidson
Canal Company to proceed in Pennsyl.
Tanis under its New York charter.
There was a prodigious tight over this
bill; but it is cafe to affirm that notmore
than one member of either HOl3lO com
prehended the meaning and scope of it,
and that the Governor, who finally ap
proved the bill, was equally In the dark.
They supposed It was a sarrender, with
out consideration, of saleable rights be
longing to the State, when the design
was simply to domesticate here the Nett
York charter of the Canal Company.
By the passage of that bill the Delaware
and Hodson Canal Company became a
Pennsylvania corporation; a fact public
men at Harrisburg have not discovered
up to this time.
PUBI By

The Pennsylvania Coal Company
grew out of the consolidation of several
companies created by the Pennsylvania
Leghilature. In form It is strictly a
Pennsylvania company. All its elec•
tiona are held within the State, and a
definite proportion of its officers are
citizens here. This company "owns a
railroad, extending from Pittston, on
the North Branch of the Susquehanna,
to Hawley, on the Laekawaxen,
white it strikes the Delaware end Had.

to its confluence with the Delaware,
there intersecting the Erie Railway,
over which It runs trains either to New
burg or New York.
The Delaware, lAckawanna and
Western Railroad Company also exists
exclusively by authority of our own
law'. Scranton is the centre of its ope

follows the Erie to Owego, and thence,
the branch to Ithaca, where it freigh a

To the poiltion which Indiana and
Ohio have time taken, the reader may
prepare himself to see thi Republicans
of the other. States of the West and

virtual endorsement of the rightfulness
of the rebellion, the democrats crowded
about him, defending Ms wildest excess

measure., and urging him forward to the
commission of new and yet &granter
outrages upon his honorable pledgee.
As coca as he was hedged about by

Congress, long incensed, lazily resolved
to strike the blow unaccountably with

Their ears are dile i with pleasant false

Bat, whatever assurances Democratic •
leaders may hare privately given Mr.
Jonsson, and whatever reliance be may

THE PRECIOUS PIETAIR
The report of Mr. J. R Bnownr., the
Mining Comm!laioner who has been for
the year past employed In investigating
the condition of the mining interests of
the Pacific elope and of the mountains,
was transmitted to Congress a few days
deco. This report closes with a review
of the whole field, and his reasons for
predicting an berme rather than a di
minution of the yield hereafter. The
Commissioner remarks:
"No tine/einem need be felt as to •
decrease in the source of supply. After
many years of travel over the mining
regions, I feel justified bxuserting this
our mineral resources are practically
without limit. Explorations made by
competent parties during the past year
in many parts of. the mineral region
hitherto unknown demonstrate the fact
that the are. of the mineral deposit is
much larger than was ever before sup.
posed. It la safe to aunma that of the
claims already recorded in the settled
parts of the country, and known to be
valuable, not more than one to a hun
dred is being worked; and of thou
worked perhaps not more than one in
fifty piya anything over expenses, ow
ing to mismanagement, inelikient sys
tems of reducing the ores, want of capi
tal, coat of transportation, and other
canoes susceptible of remedy. In many
districts of Nevado silver ores of less
value than one hundred dollars a ton
cannot be worked by mill process so u
to pay expenses, and there are districts
in Idaho and Montana where gold-bear
ing ores will not Justity working unless
they yield from forty to filly dollars per
ton. With ouch wealth of treasure lying
dormant, It cannot be doubted . that by
the increased facilities for transportation
and scuts to the mines soon to be fur
nished t y the Pubic railroad aid its
proposed branches, and the exprnenee
in the treatment of ores and the acientlile
knowledge to be acquired In national
school of mines adequate to the neceui
ties of the mining population, the yield
meat eventually Increase. "
