Sixth AIreDUE nod Xmithfield Stu APRIL IL IS7O BONDI at Frankfort, 9.74 I PETUOLEMI at \ Antwerp,..s2/L Go -ckeed in New York on Sitar day at AMONG the important measures which filled to pass, at the recent session ofl the Legislature, were the bill to unthoriz l e the election of a elxth Supreme Judge, the third Philadelphia police bill, and the local optioi temperance bill. IT WA telegraphed on Thursday morn ing, from Harrisburg, to a prominent rail way official in Philadelphia, that the Senate was then hearing the Governor's vela message read. The renly came back over the wires: .1 don't believe it l" He had mistaken hie man. That was all! Gov. Braintit, of Tennessee,, is in Washington, at the request of the Rouse Committee, for consultation upon the at fairikof hli State. lie thinks be could keep the peace If he had the control of au ample Federal force. . This substantlaily concedes the truth of all the bad accounts we have bad, of social disorder and of the Impotence of legal authority In Tames- Wa name, from California, an idle story of an effort to organize resistance to the operation of the new Article in that State. The report. is only worthy of credence In this, that it represents the opposition u confined to the Democracy. The foolish people could not playa surer card to lose their present control of the State. Nullification of that stripe would soon make California thoroughly Re publican. SIMATOR LOWRY may contemplate his failures, which would mortify the pride of any man but him. Re did not get his new - county, with its premium on his town Ints, nor his canal enlargement, with its lucrative margin on the present property, nor his cross cut railway with half a million for him to disburse. He has gained nothing at the late session, be yond the execrations of his outraged constituents and the hearty =decant of honest men everywhere. And all that lie had before. GOVIERNOR CISABY hu unanswerably vindicated the wisdom of the framers of our Constitution, in confiding the pre. motive of the veto to the ExecutiVe bands. The friends of Legislative abso lutism have frequently chafed under an ezercias of this power which hae not comported with the views of a temporary majority; indeed, the power may often have been abused in the history of our National and State politics, btit such transitory evils are remediable In an other way quite in keeping with the ab stract Idea of popular sovereignty, while the unrestrained prerogative itself has in more than one instance proven to be the bulwark of public rights, and the defense of our public obligations, against influ ences otherwise Irresistible. The Gover nor has now not only won golden opinions for himself, but he has powerfully for tified his most conspicuous prerogative— that of participation in the law-making power. He has simply been faithful to a duty which an intelligent people, with their eyes open, entrained to his ban& Tax ensoo Juror, in theirpresentment which we published on Saturday, "calks attention to the oppressive exercise of power manifested by the Executive of the city, in Inflicting flues on poor offenders who may be taken up for assault and bat; tery, surety of the peace, &c., which are construed by the Mayor and Aldermen Into disorderly conduct." If this is not merely the growling of some "bear with a sort head," we must confess our Inaba. Ity to define its meaning. In the paragraph immediately preced ing, the "grand inquest" say that many of the bills brought before them were of such a trifling character that "if common sense had governed they would not hate hacked the grand jury room." Pray what would they have the Executive do with these cases f The insinuation or statement that the Executive officer of either this. city or Allegheny, have exercised or arc exercis ing s "monstrotaty of power," is wholly unwarranted and uncalled for, especially is the manner designated by the grand WE XAV vongrattliste the people of Manua npon their gain in our own loss. For more than thirty years; a citizen of rittilmrgh,_ our well•hnown and most estimable Mead, Mr. Joann Corms; nose Scull himself unable to resist the material attractions of the young llet promising' sister Btste, and has removed thither,ladopting it se his future resi dence. This gentleman hu been, daring a long career of most enviable merit and ruefulness among most successful In securing the sine:mut regard of all-whet have known him, and these were a great multitude—for ho has been, more or less - for the put quarter of a century, active In the Journalism of Western Pennsyl. vania, and always a leader in all right Weis and good works. The Gazzrra owes to liku Its 'grateful acknowledg manta for the fiemwmt labors of a pen which never failed' to maintain the right, or filtered is itsi exptimire of . thevrrOng. A fewjears Alone, he conducted Its re, ponsible mariagemeni, to the great ticeep tame of Its readers; of late he has been a frequent and valued contributor' to its columns. We now lose an aasociate whom we knew how to esteem, this com. monlty a citizen which It k nows not how to spare, and Baum gains one whom, we are quit" ears; its pebble will not be long' in appreciating, and honoring as be do. Mitre" v t t:' I The suppression of anything like-a fair record of the. prowedingi and debater of the Leglibstrue was, maulfestiy, a pert of the programme of that powerful co-robi n/Mon of Jobbing peculators which, In November last, was organized to Control . the ensuing session and direct all of Its enactments, to the pecuniary and political profit of the conspirators. They saw. their fair opportunity to excite a popular odium against the old "Record," which was clearly a job, and for which past Legialit- WWI were especially responsible, and they improved It to sweep away everything like &complete record of the current pro. wading". Complying partially with the letter of the Constitution; they sanctioned -1,,i), a meagre 'skeleton. aunts ~ of the of. foal transactions„ from no one can Anther a eorrect - nohon of th actual posi tion of members ,on quest/ we Inter est, and purposely time kep the people In the dark. • job as the old "Record" was, It had this undeniable merit, that we could always see and know what mew- 11 , ... _..... t. ..: ..... i , hers were saying as well as doing; and an unfaithful member could not rely upon boldly swearing himself out of any . just impeachment for Official misconduct. The recent session proves to us that. the rascals were shrewd, In blotting out the dangerous testimony of a correct and minute report, 'and that they have abused their opOortunifies now with all the au dacity 00 impunity. It will be a bard matter Id convict one of them, even the most ibilty, of °Mobil misbehavior and i / unlalthi Weak from fro the mere °Millie synopsi which they have . sanctioned; what th 'presi has from time to time re- I poked nit them, they will have the cheek to wear out of, without trouble or a blush. At the next session, let us have • record of real fidelity and value, and an hone Legislature will have no trouble In securiag its honest and prompt publica tion. Said Speaker WIIITZ, of the Senate, in his bffef but sensible inaugural ad dress : While at the opening of the session there wee a diversity of opinion among es as to the propriety of a continuance of a publication of a Record of Legislative Proceedings In an expeditious, accurate and economical manner, there, is now. after the experience of a whole session without any record whatever.. except a brlafJournal, no difference of opinion I apprehend among us. All seem to agree that a Legislature, closed to the 11VOTIDOU of public opinion,,partakee more of the character of a Star Chamber than the Legislature of a free people. I (runt the opening of the next session will see us all united on a Policy In thltOregard, Just to ourselves, the. constituencies seyerally represented, and to the Commonwealth at large. = The great corporations which have so effectively controlled our State legislation at the session just now dozed, will have less inclination to disapprove of the Gov ariior's veto, of the omnibus railway bill, when their managers consider, as they well may, what other important results were otherwise certain to. follow. That veto postikiii - el, for the present, at least, a question, the agitation of which could not fail to affect the interests of the cor porations; It has deferred an Issue-which It will not be for the advantage of any interest whatever to provoke . ; upon which there Is no incorporated power In this Commonwealth strong enough to challenge the popular sentiment or , , to brow-beat the public sense of law and Justice with impunity. When we say that, in this veto, Gov. ernor Geary has not only defended the interests and protected the reputation of Pennsylvania, and saved the Republican party from that impending blow which, for a season, would have obliterated all distinctive lines as they have heretofore existed, crushing both parties alike, but that he has also shielded more than one corporate institution from a storm which was already gathering, and which would have swept -down very soon and with destructive fury, upon Influences tempo. rarity perverted and so obnoxious to the popular judgment, we say no more than the situation warrants. It is not to bbe denied that such illegit• unite inilucnccs exist; that they have grown already very powerful, that they are constantly increasing, and that they should and must be restrained and di minished. Governor Geary has put up one barrier to check them; whether more shall he here!iter needed and supplied by public opinion will depend much upon the discretion with which corporate wealth and ambition.ahall profit by thin lesson, es a hint in season, and withdraw from Its offensive -- policy of aggrandise ment at the expense of every popular tight rad public Interest in Pennsylvania. The events of the past winter, the - cul; minating audacity of purposes and tactics which have been growing more and more obnoxious to tho public mesa for years fast, leave the people of this Common wealth in no temper to- be trifled with further. Hereafter, they propose to man ago their own legislation, without such interference, and to shape the policy of the State, in every respect, so as to pro. mute the greatest good of the greatest number, regarding all Interests alike. It will not' be wise, or safe, for any special interest, of no matter what reach or consequence, to Interfere with this exclusive sovereignty of the people. There has been altogether too much of it, here torero; there mast be very much less of this, hereafter, or the consequences will be inevitable and may be disastrous to those intrusive influenees. . We are sincere friends of these corpo rations, as being a legitimate and most effective element in the development of social and material interests. To that, as their proper functions, we desire to see their energies always , confined. Within all safe and proper bounds, we shall go with those who go farthest in upholding their special privileges. Beyond that, we can neither justify oreven consent to ignore any dangerous Intrusion upon the rights which are reserved to the people alone. It would be idle to attempt to deny the probable grounds for the public belief that corporate influence has been quite too potential in controling our legisla tion of late years. We submit to all concerned that the tune has come to draw off from the Capitol lobbies. The man. , agers of h6.r great companies are men of marked ability and shrewdness. We suggest to them that it may be a blunder to Ruh these tactics any further. It is not wise to alienate friends, or to inflame opPoittion. Let them In their political as In their financial, in their Illegitimate uln their legitimate operations, exhibit an Equal sagacity, and lose no time in reconsidering and abandoning tactics which, in the long run, are certain to bo unprofitable. E=l At the close Ofthe war much anxiety was manifested fur the temporal welfare of the vast number of freedmen suddenly lifted out of bondage into the enjoyment of full liberty. Reared In slavery, de. prived, in the great majority of instances, !of even a primary school education, never taught seltrelfance, "Wingers to economy, never having _any money to economize or invest, end totally Ignorant of all the laws and principles of business, Ruby truly were objects of much - concern to those deeply Interested In their general welfare and who helped to bring about their freedom and independence. Croak er*, with no , nnwanantable grounds 'whereon to base their baleful predictions, propounded Ui, problem "what was to' become of these helpless people since taken away from the lowly cabi ns where they were under the fostering ewe and guardianship of Intelligent mas ter* 7" . .No answer could wall be made, and all awaited with prayerful anxiety the solution of the question trOhe newly made freedmen themselves. The result has been fairly worked out. The slave negroes, although never ambitions before the boon of freedom wag extended them, seemed fully anal keenly to realize their situation, and to feel that the eyes of the world were bent upon them and that they were charged to.irork out their destiny as a class, alone and unaided. They thronged to the schools opened for them to acquire education; became more Industrious; straggled mannilly to gain the better opinion of those who despised them and the.greater confidence of those who had Lined them cp, ;and In ill* new life extended the milling band of help_an4 • iriendllnese towards them. They were not long Ia learning the value of mlney. and instinctively became economical. Many used the first fends acquire by by their own labors to find more congenial hinnes In the North and West, and, in Ailing useful places to life, were lost sight of as freedmen in the full rank and position with their brethren who never had known the galling chains of slavery. The prosperous and happy condition of this close every where Is a matter of congratulation, not only to the earnest pioneers who labored for their emancipation but likewise to all good citizens no matter how strong their past doubts, prejudices and misgivings may have been; and moreover, it-devel ops s mental and physical capacity - in the negro to take care of himself and a worthiness to enjoy the full rights of a citizen in a free government. in order to better Illustrate the pros. perity of the former slaves of the country, we cite the instance furnished by the fifth annual report just mado, and for which we are indebted to the General Manager, our former townsman, Col. D. L. Emu, of the financial condition of the National Freedmen's Savings Coin party, having its head quarters at \Yeah ingtort—a corporation, the charter of which was approved by. President LIN COLN In . March, 1865, Its object being to foster and encourage economical and Industrious habits among the freedmen of the land. There aro seventeen branches of the parent institution located in .as many cities, and the depositors are ex• elusively freedmen. During its opera. tions, five years, the sum of $12,605,782 was deposited, and the Increase is so rapid that the managers find It ,111111 cult to keep pace with the extra demands on their time and financial labors. There have been drawn out over $10,000,000 during the same period of time, most of which was applied to the purchase of lands and homesteads, and the establish ment of mercantile and mechanical bust nesses by the depositors. The great sue• cess which has attended the operations of the Company; encourages us to hope tkat we have, as yet, only seen the beginning of the work of economy among the people of color. It is ample evidence, however, of the thrift, frugality and economy of the freedmen as a clan. The deposits have averaged 73 per centum of an in: crease, one year upon another since the opening of the bank, and the ratio is largely on the increase.. This flattering exhibit will be received with pleasure by all interested In the welfare of the freed men of America, who have been called to enjoy, under the XVth Amendment, full participation in our government. Tax recent action of the Senate on the income tax has not been properly under. stood. The subjoined statement of its nature is correct : • .- - The bill provides for the continuance during Dad of the tax of five per cent. on Income derives' from the following sources, to wit : Dividend, of banks, tenet compenlea, neology' institutions and insurance companies, dividend. and Interest on the bonds of interim' in:preve nient companies, find salmi., of persona In the civil, military, naval, or other employment of the United Suites. The other sections of the law which Imposes a tax of nee per cent. on the gains, prof. ita and income of every eltizen, bevel been postponed for consideration, when the general revenue law comes up before llingrosa for action. THE Philadelphia Ledger says The masons given by the tiovernor for the veto of the Omnibus Railway bill are conclusive both as to the law and the sound policy of the calla. 'Toe whole scheme was a gigantic combination of leirialation '_which Is forbid den by the Constituticin; of spoliation of the Sinking fund, which Is a violation of the same instrument, and of plunder for tho benefit of corporation., which have no claim upon the public fund of the State. It was well described by Senator Suckalew when be stigmatized It in the Senate as "the big Meal;" and the Gov. armor Is entitled to the thanks of the en tire Commonwealth for interposing his eonaltutional authority to defeat IL Tits Lancaster Ezaminer says While wo are free to mama we have taken occaalon to question the propriety of some of Governor Geary's acts, we gladly sword to him the meed of praise that Is so Justly due him, for the manly stand he has taken In behalf of the peo ple, egalnat the plunderers and oorrup• tlonfins. For oursalvee and in behalf of the people of Lancaster county, we ten der him our thanks—earnest, hearty thanks- We know Olt we speak the Dan timente of nine hundred and nthatymine out of every thousand - of the sturdy tax payers of Lancaster county, when we tender tjte thanks of the people, for this veto. I The SPost'l and We School question The Post makes a rude assault upon the Allegheny School Controller, who intro duced the resolutions pledging the Board against a division of the school fund. While It indulges in very coarse epithets in regard to his credibility, it charges also that ho has reaped but small intellec. tall advantage from common schools. It likewise effects not to know hint. But a good many years ago, when the Post held • much higher litera ry rank than now, the editor made personal application to that now obscure individual, invitine him to write for his paper, upon any subject except politics. Be complied, and wrote frequently, and his articles were conspi cuously headed, lcadol and Poet ed; and at times flattering editoriali called the particular attention of the reader to them. But now, I when ho happens to- tread somewhat heavily upon the toes of the Post's theological peculiarities, be is tin gratefully spurned. This is shabby con duct from the Post, whose tallest leather has heretofore been Ids urbanity. ALLIWITENT. son ntit in the HamarCity Bulletin gives us some information respecting the Megan Indians, about whom so much has lately been said. Their place of habits• tion was the country round Fort Benton at the head of navigation on the Missouri river, ranging north up the Mariam and Sun rivers, and south on the waters of the Yellowstone and Big Horn. It abounds In buffalo, antelope and moun tain sheep. The herbage and shrubbery being very scaroe and the high lands far from fertile, the subsistence of the Pte. gans was far froth certain. When the writer or the article referred to saw them he was struck with their diseased, "dirty and decidedly Lazaruvlike appearance." The children appeared to be starved and the squaws had contracted unpleasant re lationships with the white men of thefort. The Megan& and Bloods are ()Moots of the Blackfeet, and all ire descended from the Mercatanea They have long_ been unfriendly to the whiles. IT is not known whether Gen. Butler's joint resolution to annex San Domingo will be pressed just now, and In view of the question of propriety in taking the subject out of the hands of the Senate whilst the treaty is under consideration in the latter body, It is expected that the House will not be willing to entertain the joint resolution proposition until the Senate shall have disposed of the treaty either by ratification or by rejection. The plan that seems to obtain (*for moat is to appoint a COMMIIIIIOII to visit San Domingo and report whether the Island should be annexed or not. Were the treaty out of the hands of the Smite, there Is but little doubt that a joint reso lution of annexation would pass in both Houses. Tim third and last attempt at the Me. tropolitan Pollee bill at fiarrisburg failed. Its failure was caused by the refusal of eleven Republicans from the rural die. meta to give it their support. They ob. Jaded that, Inasmuch as the Governor Lad already vetoed one bill this 'mien, it was more than probable this would share the same fate. They were generally men of honor and Integrity and cannot be accused of having been inflamed by any corrupt motives. Johnson states as a reason for the passage of the bill that he had been told that In a certall station house In Philadelphia all of the policemen but two were Intoxicated when a visitor entered that place at nine o'clock on a reeent morning. PITTSBURGH DAILY GAZETTE: MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1876 Ohio and the P. Pt. VV. C. Road Some time since Mr. Gaston offered in the Ohio House of 'Representatives a res olution instructing the Committee on Railroads to make certain inquiries rela tive to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago ltiiiroad. Among them was ono which embodies all, to-wit: "By what authority does does 'the said rail road company exercise the privilege of acting as a corporation within this State?" The resolution was adopted and the Committee on Railroads act to work. Deeming the question of great import mace, the matter was referred to Attorney General Lord for his opinion. In compliance with this request, the Attorney General submitted the following opinion : "0 mem OF TUB ATTOBNET G En t COLUMBUS, April 4, 1570. "Hon. D. J. Callen, Chairman of Standing Committee on Railroads of the House of Representation: Stn—l nave examined, as far as my limited time will allow, the eubJects spoken of in House resolution No. 66, - 'submitted tome by your committee, and have the honor to reply as follows: "First and second. The Ohlo and Penn sylvania Railroad Company and the Ohlo and Indiana Railroad Company were originally two corporations of the Slate of Ohio, authorized and organized. under the Railroad Act of 1848, and of 'course under the old Constitution. "Under the act of 1852, (8. A: C. 280) and the act of May, 1, 1836, (8. C., 827,) these two companies were, in Au• gust, 1856, with the Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company, consolidated, and the new Company took the name of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company. This act of consoll. dation, I am satisfied, merged all the property, rights, privileges and franchises of said two Ohio Companies, with - the Fort Wayne and Chicago Company, except the franchise .of corporate -ex_ 41,.. ence. This right or franchise to be a corporation, sa i think, remained with the old companies undisturbed; notwithstand mg the agreement: for consolidation, believing that under the Constitution the new company could not, even with the aid of such legislation as then existed, or any other 1 legislation, acquire the right to corporate existence - in this way. In 1861 suit was instituted by the mortgagee's of the different companies forming the new company, In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and a decree rendered directing that the property, righti, and franchises of these corporations should be sold, and under that decree sale was made of all the propeity, rights, and privileges of-the old companies and the new company that could be sold, or upon which the mortgages could have a lien by virtue of their mortgages... The fran chises of corporate existence was nut then the subject of lien as property, and therefore did not pass by the sale, but re mained where it originally was. Maier and others bought what was sold and no more. Lanier and others, In 1862, sold to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi cage Railroad Company what they bought and no more, for they had no more to selL "This last company, to whom Lanier and otherifiold, is a 'foreign corporation, created by the Legislature of Pennsylva nia, and own the properly bought by it of Lanier &Os-, and operated that - part of its line of road lying in Ohio (prior to Its lease to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company), or claimed to °per. ate it under the seventh section of the. act of April 11,.1861. That statute ex pressly provides that such company 'shall exercise no power, privilege, faculty or franchise within 'this Suite inconsistent with the laws thereof, and that such part of such railroad shall be subject to all regulations of law in the SWIM manner railroads In this State in like cases, and that the corporation owning the same shall be subject to all duties imposed by law, and be sued, in the same manner as a corporation of this State might be sued,' &e, (Ste proviso to Section 7.) "So far, then, It seems clear the present Pittsburgh Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company is without corporate existence under the Constitution and laws of Ohio. Under the Coustitution and laws of Pennsylvania it cannot exer cise corporate powers in Ohio. 'A franchise to - 13 e a corporation is originally a part of the sovereignty of the State. The State granted to persons de. litmus of exercising corporate powers ..- portion of this sovereignty. Tills' sov ereignty, in its original position, or when so granted, cannot exist outside of the State to which it belongs. It follows that Ibis company has no corporate exist. ence in Ohio. "Upon principles of comity, it is 'per mitted to operate that portion of Its rail road in Ohio, subject In all respect.. in the general laws of Ohio regulating rail roads. It Is a grave. question—and Ido not now propose to discuss it—how far this principle of comity ought to be ex tended to a foreign corporation. Wheth• er it should be allowed the rights of ems. sent domain, or even to own real estate in Ohio, or to operate and monopolize its great thoroughfares. "It may be claimed that, under the act •of May 4, 1863, (8. and C., 131,) this new company has 'acquired the franchise to be a corporal on.' If this be the case then, it seems t me Section 1, Article 19 of the Constitu on Is of little avail, or Section 2 of the a article either. "Here is a for Ign corporation, by this statute vested wi h the special privilege of 'acquiring' cor to existence as a cor poration in Ohl y a special mode. "This section of the Constitution can not be help, It seems to me, to warrant the perpetuation of special privileges In this way. "9.- 1 can find no official evidence of the lease of this road to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company; .nor do I know any authority under which such a lease can affect the portion of said line in Ohio, unlessit, be Implied from Section 7 of the act of 1861 above referred to. "4. The present operators of said rail• road have no general office In Ohio, so far as 1 can ascertain, as to mode of sar vice. Bee B. and C. 642, act of April 80, 1860, also B. and C. 118 and 110, Sections 46 and 47.. "0. I have no data to determine any thing ea tp the teenage of capital stock referred to. "6. The Attorney General has full power to proceed, when complaint is properly made against any corporation, etc., (sec S. and C. page 80, act of May 1,1862), and until some person shalltusve shown himself aggrieved, It is hardly ne• cowry to order the Attorney General to Institute proceedings. This is, however, a manci purely in the discretion of the General, Amembly. "F.lVery respectfully, B. Poem, Attorney General." Alter §eceiving this opinion the com mittee held several protracted meetings, at which the matter was fully discussed in all Its bearings.. Some of the dinette. Mon was warm,. and demonstrated that nothing was to ho done without good cause fur It, As the result of these de llberatione,lbe committee Lave prepared the following report: "The Committee on Railroads, to whom was referred House Resolution No: Mt-- relative to the corporate existence of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Ohicago Railroad Company—having had the same under consideration, find that the said company Is not a corporation under the laws of the State; that tholineot railway In this State inn and operated by said company, la eo run and operated without authority of law; that said company has no authority to make contracts or appro priate private property within'thie State; Wet said company has Increased capi tal stock seventy per cent, without an. thinity of law, and that the lease made by said company to the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company of that part of li its railway whiCh Heflin this btate is void, and that the public welfare requires that the legal statue of said company shall be inquired into by a court of law having Jurisdiction In such cases. They there. fore recommend the adoption of the fol lowing joint resolution: ' "Resolved, That the Attorney General of this State be and is hereby directed to cause proceedings, in the nature of a quo egomania to be Instituted against said company, and to prosecute the same to final judgment with faithful diligence.
