An act authorising the Olt Creek and
Pith°le Branch Railroad of the Clarion
land aud Improvement company to Is.
sue Maimed stock was reported by Mr.
JOHNSON, (Crawford) who asked to
have It pot upon Its passage.
Mr. McJUNKIN objected to the pan.
sage of the bill, saying . It effected the
Interests of the people of his county
very materially. The matter- hadbeen
called to his attention for the first dine.
The road was In au Insolvent Conditloe,
was entirely in Veusogo county, wasin
the hands of creditors and a sequestrator
I had been appointed to elide its affairs
I lie hoped the House. in Justice to the
people he represented, would vote . the
bill down.
Mr. JOHNSON advocated the bill.
saying the road was somewhat involved,
and the object of the bill was to relieve
the road by authorit!ng the home of
preferred stock. He believed there was
nothing objectionable In the hill.
A debate of considerable warmth en.
sued, Mr. Johnson sung he was aware
that the road was entirely in-Venango
county, but that evelybody in the Corn
mouweisth deuce does not Ilia there. As
the law now islands there was little hope
or-theareditors - getting their pay. By
peeing this MR and permitting the road
to Mane preferred stook, both debtor and
creditor might be saved. It gave parties
the option to receive preferred, stock In
consideration of the Indebtedness of the
road. The road was situated' in a vain.
able producing . territory of the oil re
glans, from Pithole to the Allegheny
river, a distance of seven miles.
Mr. llicJUNlClN.thought If the matter
was right, as the gentleman from Craw
ford represented,• that the bill should
have been introduced before. Why had
no person Interested In the matter sub.
milted It to him for his consideration.
The session was nearly at its alone, and it
„was impouttlie for him to correspond
with the people that he represented. If
this bill was passed to day It would in.
terfere very materially with the rights of
the people he represented. He boped
the House would vote it down and be
done with IL
Mr. JOHNSON (Crawford) asked for
the reading of the bill, which wes,resil
by the Clerk.
Mr. hi`JUNRIN said that the creditors
of the road lived In Vetoing° county,
and were really the only interested par
ties in then:unbar. The organization was
a myth; it might have a legal existence,
but the officers of the mad were not in
termed In the matter. He believed the
bill had been introduced in a very un
gentlemanly, and he the
House wouldtreat s nr
the matter as it de
served, by voting the bill down.
Mr. -JOHNSON replied that It was
'something new to the House that a bill
could not be introduced without being
addressed in nziparllametitary language.
The bill was sent to him by one of his
constituents. - He was at Ices to under
stand why such language had been need,
and why it was permitted. Standing In
his place here and representing- his con.
aliments, because he presented a bill
here, It vres, forsooth, ungentlemanly-,
becalms- certain creditors of that road
wanted to have It placed In a situation
that It might live, and have some pros

Cnicaceo, April 3.—ln response to a
call, signed by several hundred mer

lag merchants. Mr. Coalbaugh, on
taking the Chair, addressed the meet.
lug. He called attention to the fact that
from the close of the war, in the year
1866, the people of the United States have
paid into the National Treasury, in the
shape of customs and direct tax, the sum
of nineteen hundred millions of dollars,
which sum exceeds beyond a doubt that
over raised by any other nation on the
earth in the way of taxes in the same
period of time. In the Came period,
notwithstanding the extraordinary ox.
newton growing oat of the war, the pub
lic debt has been diminished more'
than three hundred millions. It
has. been estimated by the Commie-
Monier of Internal Revenue, that under
the existing rate of taxation and import
dunce, including the surplus during the
present fiscal year, it will exceed the ex
penditures over e 120,000,000. For one
believing In the sacred obligation we are
under to pay every dollar of the National
debt, principal and interest, he did not
believe it was wise or sound policy, look;
- bag at the present condition of the
country and the depression .of bush:wile
which so widely prevails, to require of
the people the necessary sacrifices
to extinguish it am rapidly es
we have been doing. A reduction
lof 450,000,000 per annum seemed
to him was as much as prudence
required and the country could bear.
This would enable us to reduce the tax
On tea, coffee, sugar and eatt so that those
articles of common use' ould be within
every body's reach at moderate ..prices
It would enable us to lessen the coal of
almost every article of prime no.
county- need in tilling the soil or
carrying its products to market.
'He would also abolish taxes on Wee
of merchandise, and 'damp taxes, except
those on conveyances of real estate and
on trust deeds of mammoth railroad
and other corporations. If the reduction
proposed should be too ,great, he would
make up the deficiency by Increasing
the present tax on whisky and tobacco.
The taxes on these two articles amount
ed during the last year to over eighty
millions of dollars. He 'Allayed that
without detriment to the public interests
the tax on whisky 'alone might be made
to yield one hundred millions per an
num.
Hon. Thos. Horne presented the follow
log resolutions:
WHEREAS, The Special - Comeniselondi
of Revenue in his teat &mama report has
shown that there will bee surplus In the
'public treasury at the end of the present
decal year of one hundred and twenty
four millions of dollars;
AND WHEREAS, We believe that the
payment of the public debt at the rate of
fifty millions per annum,' in addition to
the large expense of the National Gov
ernment, le all that can bo reasonably
asked of the tax prayers of the country at
the present time, therefore,
Resolved, That we call upon Congress
to take Immediate steps for the reduction
of at least 150,00,0001 n the rate of nation
al taxation.
That in the abatement of taxes those .
-which are the most oppressive and bur
densome in proportion to the amount of
revenue which they yield to the Govern
ment ehould be abolished first.
That the taxes should be levied solely
for the support of the Government and
maintenance of its credit, and that the
imposition of taxes having for their
of the transfer of tamtal loom - Pus
class, section or Individual to another.
without the consent of the owners,- Is
Indust, delusive, Impolitic and opposed
to all principles of Republican govern
ment.
That COLllinerte, trade and industry
are founded upon the mutual 'exchange
of services among men, and that what
ever
operates to cripple or abstract such
exchange can only no productive of loss
to the whole community.
That the present tariff has destroyed
Ihe 'shipbuilding industry and almost
annihilated the foreign commerce and
marine of the seaboard States.
That It has prohibited the construction
on our lakes and rivers of iron vessels
with Increased carrying capacity, in pro
' portion to tontine and draft of water,
with greater durability and diminished
outlay fur repaii a and Insurance, all of.
which tend to materially to cnespon the
tranaportation of products.
That while tots tariff is unnecessarily
increasing the profits of the iron
producer, it le cri ppilvg the ship building
and ship owning interests of -the great
lakes and rivers, 'so that as respects
competition with our Canadian rivals
these Interests are placed by the General
Government at great disadvantage, and
this in the face of the most abundant
resources for ship building and naviga
tion.
That to the same unwise policy is
.chargeable Id a large degree the heavy
coat of railroad transportation, the cost
of such transportation being always in
proportion to the coat of iron, and that
it Is idle for the western farmer, not
withstanding his superior advantages of
soil and climate, to expect to compete
with agriculturieut in other parts of
the world, when his products are con
veyed to market over rails which cost
seventy per mat. more than they Oust
elsewhere.'
That the people attic, United States
aro under obligations to lion. David A.
Wells for his terse, comprehensive and
invaluable reports upon the resources of
the country and principles of taxation,
land that the inability of his assalliete to
moot his facts and . arguments Is made
apparent by their unjustifiable and an.
sustained charges against his private
character. We respectfully request our
members in Congress to use their influ
ence to continue the office of Special
Commissioner of Revenue until the re.
forms. which Mr. Wells hag so ably
presented shalibave been curried into
effect.
I That our system of taxation should be
I readjusted and simplified with a view to
' raising the necessary amount of revenue
from the smallest number of articles, to
the end that the Oust of collection may
be reduced and is fruitful sourest of cor
ruption removed.
That the Income tax places an unjust
and unequal burden upon the honest
portion or the community, and operates
as a discouragement to thrift as well as
* -premium to dishonesty, and should
not be reenacted by Congress.
That the tax on gram 'receipts which
enables corporations to charge their cue
teasers &asthma as much as they them- I
selves pay to the Government, should be
be eatarety abolished.
That the existing tax on sales, which
produces scarcely nooo.opp now, is an
unnecessary burden, canal* loss to fez

That
That in the present 'depressed 'state of
all kinds of basinen! it is unwise and
unjust to continue paying the principal
of the public debt, at • rate of seven
millions per month.
That the debt was crested for the ben
efit of posterity as well as the present
g*nitration, and that the burden. of it
shoold not be imposed wholly. upon the
present gsneratton, and that we can see
no economy in continuing to pay Ia
tereat on that portion of the debt which
has already bean extinguished; that the
true method of reducing the interest on
I the debt Is toeo improve our credit that
capitalists will seek to lend money at
lower rates of Interest than we must con
, Uncle to pay so long as repudiation or
confiscation, open - or covert, is threatened
or suspected.
• The resolutions were' unanimously
adopted.
. Ron. Thomas Rayne followed In a
speech against protection to American
industry. which meant taxes to increase
the prices of all products to the great 1
mass of fhb people while the profits of a '
