' Below wilt be found this most: Import ant papers relative to the meeting which will be founded; °epeeist interest to our readers. They give aelear statement of some matters oondbeted with the enter prise which Is of the most interesting character. ♦ SIT 07 HISTOST. The folio/leg Is the first report, which received the approval of the board: To the President• and Directors of the Pittsburgh, Virginia and Cliarteston Ratimiul Conipany; ' OZPITLIMILIC At your last meeting, held on the 16th day of January, 1670, a resolution • was. unanimously adopted, authorizing me to eecuto all required legislation that might be necessary for your railroad. My soden in, endeav orlog to= comply with the renown contained In ttde resolution, I would re spectrally narrate, with such explain 'ttons ma may be proper - to a right under @tending of all my proceeding* ite the premises. Early to the Bandon Of the late Lents. lature !Introduced the three following bill; which wero plowed Into laws: Illrat—A. bill changing the name of the . company for the purpose of maklogl it more expressive of the extent and eon. nections of the rallrinid contemplated; from the "Monongahela - Valley" to that of the "Pittsburgh, Virginia and Charles• ton Railroad Company." • Second—A. bill authoriting the com pany to Issue bonds to the amount of rive millions (15,000,000) of dolbuit secured on the road and its franchises. Third—A. supplement to the charter allowing the company to build bridges over any navigable urea= on the line of their road, with the privilege of charging themes tolls that the old lionerigabela Bridge Company is allowed to collect. This supplementary law confers author. ity, which, for obvious reasons, is very important to the company. After the passage of these several bllla I felt as if my wore, under your resolution, was done; nor did It occur to me that further legislation was necessary in order to Insure the prose. outran or the Lmproaement undertaken by our Company. The last meleare salving the exchange of Its bonds to the amonni of sixteakt hundred_ thousand dollars (1I;t1X,000) for the bond. of the ....Allegheny Valley Company," connect ed with a similar exchange of the - bonds of three (3) other companies, for bonds of the Allegheny Valley and eenneyira via Railroad Companies, emanating to nine millions of dollars (39,000,000) in the .aggregate, now deposited in the sinking fund, wan 'a miner that I had never thought_ of. and was East men dour:ate Me by other' parties daring the Isat few weeks. of the session. Before co operating in the plan I consulted able lawyers as to its ccmstitntionality. who concurred in the opinion , that there was no existing objection on that ground. They regarded It as 'limply matter of policy, citing the precedent of feat year, when the Allegheny Valley Railroad Company made an exchange of their own bond., now in the Treasury, for the Londe of the Banbury and , Erie Company, at which time there did not smite) be any unoonstitutionailtyl In the —exchange. Ax I deemed that, this arrangement did' not „lei:v.olas' the Interests of the State; that it Watra mete exchange of securities of equal stability; that the interest and principal of the bonds to be ttitun for those in the Treas. my were equally tats and certain to be paid; that such a use to be made of theta bonds, which were the proceeds of the aale.of the Public Works, wall to-ac cordance with the polloy of the. at.;., to develop the material resources within her borders, by extending to them artificial llues of latercommunicse tIon; tiget it was expedient to nee seen titles lyMg in the Treasury on works of public rarity when It could he done by substituting other■ as valuable and well wowed, and thus utilising inert eviden. nee of indebtedneem that there' was some. thing due to those Portions of the Mate proposed to bs traversed by the roads provided for In the. bill, w hoee el Wiens tsaiWpatiently;pafdltishr share of taxes for Improvements, In_the benefits of which they have dot articlpated; that the construeion of these roads by open. ing negitrirdilets, contributelargely to the wealth and population of the Com utonwesitb.and proportionately increase thi value of properly to share the bur. ihenk,oi,titxtlitimt..

THE PARTY WALL ELSE Another Inionetkon—The Bank, the Pe titioner and in. Tenantoklespondente-- -The End le Plot Yet. The party wall case between the First fatlonal Babk of Plusbunat, and Mr. William Carr, which was first brotight Into court on the petition of Mr. Carr Darn preliminary injunction to restrain the respondente from removing the wall, although that petition has been dismiss ed, is not yet ended. The contractors for the nevi bank building on Monday morning went to work to remove the wall, and for that purpose made preparaties for "shoring" up Mr. Careshuilding, which, It appears, is occupied by the (Rover & Baker sew. log Machine Oampany, and others. The tenants, it appears, were not satisfied with ihe arrangement, and forbid the contractors to prc.cecd with the work, ordering them of the premises. They quit work and returned Tuesday morn. lug when they were again ordered not to touch the wall on their perril. The work has already been delayed considerably on account of she that bill, and in order to have the matter scatted, Mr. Actieson, attorney for the Bank, yesterday filed a crces.bill pray. leg that a preliminary injunction be grantedrestraining William Carr, they()rover and Baker Sewing Machine Co pany, E. D. Weyburn, and Roberta, Nicholson dr Tnompson from interfering With the contractors while removing . the wall or in making Preparations therefor.

The Singer Is rapidly Increasing Of 'stein public.favor, and a 'riddance of this fact we might state thnt the Singer Company are manufacturing one hundred thousand Machines -yearly. This seems to be airnost Incredible, but It is truth. The Singer Is the oldeit sewing machine In the country, and not only bean a national. but a world wide reputation, being in Europe and :other countries, as it Is in America, the stand ard sewing machine of the age. There ii no machine in this or any other mar. ket which can boast of Improvements not possessed by the Singer. The Singer, so far as possible, Is perfection, and em braces every desirable requisite. Messrs.

I= Excelsior Is the motto of this great establishment, and the enterprise and energy of the firm are truly wonderful. There is not a doubt that it is DOW doing the largest business, wholesale and retail, of any house of the kind In Western Pennsylvania. The senior. memoer of the firm, Mr. Fleming, is a gentleman of rare taste and large experience In the business, and is enthusiastically devoted to it. Interests. The other members' of the firm ere young men, energetic, agree able, always wearing a smile, and hav ing a kind word for everyb o dy. They are ail strictly reliable, and the' public have learned that they can always de pend on their representation of the qual ity of goods. It is also pretty generally understood now that Fleming et Co. do sell as a rule from 10 to 20 per cent. leas than any other house in' this part of the State. Whether this is done from an ambition to secure the heaviest trade, or on account of better facilities in purchas ing goods, we do not know, but such is the fact and the public reap the advert. cage of it. In addition to carrying an immense stock of geodamanufactured in the East, embracing all the latest Styles known to the trade, Fleming ,t Co. are very sue. cessful in originating designs of their own, which are manufactured to their order. Thus we find the following splendid atylestat their house which can be obtained nowhere else in the United States. unless ordered thrOugh them, the "Prince Paul," "Stanton," "Count Lars," "Woodbine, " "Willie de Pada," "Baltic," dm. Te elegance of these styles is making quite a national reputa tion for the house, and it is receiving orders from various parts-of the Union for them. We invite our rtaders to drop . In and satisfy- themselves A to thetruth of these statements, and save from 15 to 20 per cent on their purchases, whether wholesale or retail.

Two or three energetic Councilmen are on the trail of these "honest boys,"—alwaya the loudest to howl "down with the: rings, give the people theilr rights," &c.,—and will make tt "warm" for them before the time for the election of the •Commlasionars. We advise all Couneihnen to be careful and not bo caught in tho same trap as BOMB were at the caucus far citynfilces. These same honest — boys," who held their inside caucus a few evenings before the regular one, and then sold their friends like sheep on the day of election, will do the same thing again.
