.der an act of the Legislature authorizing
to take stock in any road to that place, had
bcribed stock in the 0.fc M Co., and true
its instincts, after it was tinished, refused
ay its subscription, iuaisting that, as the

ey bad no power to sube'ribe the stock as
y bad done. Judge Perkins denied
1 That a road is a road.
2 If a road run to a town it must ulso ran

3 If a road runs through a town j it must

were in imminent danger of lo.iog their lives

55" 1 ubmshbrs Convention. A number
of oar exchanges have resolved opon a Con

interests of the craft. There is no business
or profession that stands more in need of

lishing of newspapers. We are ia fuvor of
tho project, and would favor any measure
that would induce some of tho craft to have
a higher appreciation of their profession.
reform is sadly ueoded, and if aoythiug con
be done to raise the press to its proper di
nity and self respect, we shall rejoico to hear
it. If at home, we shall most certainly
attend.

the gross crop is rank and luxuriant, the

DR. KANB AND WH, C. fcOOFRET.
Those of onr readort who bavo read the
late work of Dr. Kamr, giving an account of
his explorations in the Arctic1 regions, in
search of Sir Jons Franklin, will, no donbt,
recollect the history cf Wm. C. Godfrey, who
desnrted from the expedition in its darkest
and most gloomy period, and took tip Lis
nartors among the Esquimaux Indians.
Dr. Kane, who commiinded the expedition,
uder the instructions aud discipline of the
Navy department, detorminod to punish this
act of insubordination, and followed Godfrkt
a distance of about 70 miles, and single-
handed captured ond brought him back.
Sinco tho death of Dr. Rank, a certain pub
lisher in Philadelphia, stimulated, o doubt,
by the great sale of Dr. Kahb"s book, bas
concluded to publish an account of bis expe
dition, of which this man Godfrry is to be
the hero and narrator. A card was, there
foro, pnblished in a number of the city papers,
over the signature of Godfrey, in which he
attacks the veracity of Dr. Kan, and accuses
him of cruelty, injustice and dishonorable
conduct. This card, which is evidently an
advertisement got np to soil the book, is not
endorsed by tho city press, bot we regret to
find that a few of the coiutry editors bva
swallowed the bait, and none more cogerly
than onr neighbor of tho Sunbury Ccztlle
who does not hesitate to cast the most unjiut
and nngenerous imputations on the character
of Dr. Kakh, and attempts to tarnish the
fair fame of one whose whole life, though of
during and adveutnre, has been one of noble
aims aud gnuerous impulses.
Godfksv says thot Dr. Kaxb's strictures
on bis character has so prejudiced the public
against bim, that ho is obliged to drive an
omnibus for a living. Omnibus driving is
noitber discreditable or dograding, and there is
uo evidence that Godfrkt was filled for
higher station, wbilo the presumption is, that
many better men are now engaged in tho
saniu culling. There is one feature a'otin, in
the caso of Godfrey, which is sufficient to
condemn his whole story as incompatible
with the truth. We refer to the fact, that
ho tamely and quietly submitted to these
charges, whilo Dr. Kane was living, and only
assumed the courage of self tlefcuce, after
the silent grave bad covered all that was
mortal of bis formor commander. It is worse
than idlo for him to say now that ho was too
poor to defend himself. No respectable
paper iti tba city, or elsewhere, would have
refused to publish his defence or deuiul
Betides, two shillings would have procured
tho insertion of his protest, as an ndvertice
ment.
To open the grave and rake np the ashes
of the dead has, in all nges, been considered
disreputable, und will neither excite the sym
pathy or meet with the approbation of 8 gen
erona people.
The editor of tho Gazette is equally unfor
tunate in his philosophy when he n?sert?, in
reference to Godfrey, that "courage and
generosity preclude tho possibility of u bud
character." His is a bold, us well as a new
principle in moral ethics, and sts at defiance
all the previously conceived opinions of Puley
N sylatid and other writers on moral philoso
phy. "Courage und generosity" are traits
not unireqiieiiuy possessed, by the most
noted criminal?, who would huri'ly, on tha
account, be entitled to a certificate of "good
character."
APPLICATION rod INJUSITIO AGAINST
THESALK OF THE MAIN LINK.
Iu the Supreme Court, before Chiuf Jnsticc

and Armstrong, the argument in the applie;
tions for a special injunction to restrain th
sale of the Main Li'iv, which is advertised to
take place in the eity.cn the 2Mb instun
was commenced.
There are all, thrco epnnite capes, in wlm
separate bills in equity oro filed, ht. Tl
bill filed by Henry S. Mott, o stockholder i
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to re
strain said company from purchasing said
Main Lino. 2d. A bill filed by loanholders'
of tho State to prevent the salo of property
pledged to secure tbe suid loans. The latt
bill was filed on Tuesday last, tho two forme
were filed on the Cth of June, and to whic
alone the argument of counsel wero confine
to-day, affidavits ond arguments having bee
prepared to meet them. The counsel fur th
complainants are Messrs. W. L. Hirst, James
II. Walton, Charles R. Buckalew, and W
M. Meredith. Counsel for the respondent:
are Messrs. fctauntou, Cuyler. St. Geo. '
Campbell and Attorney-General Franklin.
Mr. Hirst commencod the argument on th
part of the complainants.
in addition to tbe above bills, Mr. Hirst
stated a bill hud been filed in Alleahenv
vummij 3 i"un-iiuiurr 01 mat county, in
behalf of 20.0ti0 shares of stock. Mr. l'lirst
said upon the first bill filed by the' Canal
wuiimi.ildikouib, mm were in iact the l orn
missiouers or rubiic Works io tho Stat
questions arise luvulvinr some of the li-ml
mental principles of our government the
questions of taxation, and of exemption fro.n
taxation. It is provided iu the 3d section of
tue act or sale luat, ror a certain price to bo
paid, tho Pennsylvania Railroad Co shall bo
released iroui tbe payment of taxes on it
vupiiai bh'i-s, UUMU0, uiviuenu. tc, an ex
vuiirniMi ui ibxuuuu lorever. 1 ins in n run
stitntional question, and if Ihe doctrine of
exemption be once established by this Conrt,
"'u oo imposBiDie to escape from it here
after and forever. If it is competent for tho
Legislature to make a contract selling an
exemption from taxation for Stute purposes
to a company or a corporation, as attempted
in tbe cose before tho Conrt, the Legislature
can sell the same privileges of exemption to
any Other company or corporation who may
apply for the same, ofering a bonus Tor such
immunity. If this system be once estab
lished, we shall see scores of petty corpora,
tions knocking at tbe hdlls.of our Legislature
for similar enactments. It is instituting a
class in this Commonwealth with privileges
above all others, to exempt those whose
property was most profitable from bearing a
share io the common burden of the Com
monwealth. Mr. Hirst then proceeded to argue that
the Legislature bad no power to make such
contracts. The power under which tbe act
was passed is in the 1st section of tho Con.
slitution, establishing Legislative power.
This power of legislation is a trust held by
the Legislature, and the exercise of that
trust is for the good of tbe people. The sov.
ereignty resides in the people; the power
conferred in tho Legislature is only a trust
so stated by Chief Justice Tsuey, iu 10
Howurd. Other authorities were also cited
iu support of this proposition.
In reference to tbe bill filed by the stock,
holder, M. Hirst proceeded to argue that the
provisions of the act of A ssembly, if accepted
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
would cause a materia! change in tbe charter

Iu reply to tho interrogataries of our cor
respoudent, we take occasion to say that we
regret that he did not seek the iuformatiou he
desires, from sources better acquainted with
the subject of bankiug than ourselves. We
cannot, however, ns a public jonrnnlist refuse
compliance, iu giving onr views, whatever
they may be worth, on this or any other
subject, io which tha publio is interested.
Wo shall, therefore, endeavor to answer
briefly, the above Interrogatories, in their
order 1
1st. In regard to dividends, new Banks
seldom pay more than 6 per cent for several
years, as there are always some expenses In
enrred in the organization and establishment
of a new bank. . Much will, of course, depend
upon the monogonie.it of the Bank, whether
a larger dividend will be pa.'d at any time, if
eves that figure is realised.
2J. Tbe demand for money, at this time,
enables those who desire to make investments,
to do so npon bouds and mortgages, which
are undoubted securities, at rates as high as
8 aud 10 per Co nt per annum. Securities of
this kind, we regard as mora desirable than

Ctb. Recent failures in banking, as the
F.rie City Bank and the New Castle Bank,
go far to convince us that a bank to be per
feclly reliable and safe, must be in the hands
of the people ill the neighborhood In which it

Should tha stock be takeu by city speca

days of railroads and telegraphs, it is a very
dangerous experiment to nndertuke to steer
a bank through a financial crisis, or even
when things are moving along smoothly, if I
tbe record is not entirely clean.
With a disposition to accommodate our
