THE LATE ORANGE IN THE OABI
NET.
"Mr. CessnoN, it is clear," says our
Republican cotemporary of the Pittsburgh
Gazette, "was invited to retire from the
War Department, because his views on the
policy .f the Government, in regard to the
slavery question as it now exists in relation
to the rebellion, were not in accordance
with those of the President." So say all
the Repabliean prints and politicians, and
so say we. Such being the case, our
confidence in the patriotism, and nerve,
and independence of President LINCOLN is
greatly increased, and we cheerfully accord
him the praise he deserves for his fearless
discharge of what was, palpably, a high
public duty It is evident that Mr. LIN
COLN is determined to resist the suicidal
schemes of the anti-slavery zealots who
have attempted to give direction to his ad
ministratitm and to mould the policy of
the war. The sentiment of the conserva
tive men of all parties at the North and in
the loyal alaveholding States was unmis
takably against the extreme measures
the fanatics urged upon the Government,
and it found ready and emphatic utterance.
That it has 4nineared the removal of CAN
mow, no rational man can deny, and that
it will result in a ready and consistent op
position on the put of the President and
his advisers to all the dangerous projects
of politicians of the Abolition school is,
in our view, - a reasonable inference and
conclusion.
We congratulate the country on this
opportune indication of the President's
purpose to confine himself to proper and
constitutional limits in the prosecution of
the war. in no other way can the Union
be resterei, the Constitution preserved, and
the Rebellion early and effectually •crush
od, and the event will prove it.
THE TONNAGE TAX.
We invite the reader's attention to the
communication of "Citizen" in another
column in regard to the proposed repeal
of the Tonnage Law passed by the last
Legislature. The tax imposed by the
State on the Tonnage of the Pennsylvania
Road was moat just and righteous, and
was intended as some return to the State
for the special and distinguished privileges
accorded to that highly favored and pam
pered corporation. To repeal it, and an
nually subtract hundreds of thousands of
dollars from the public treasury was an
outrage on a tax-ridden people than which
none could be more flagrant or unjustifia
ble. It is to be hoped that the present
Legislature will right the wrong done by
the last, and administer a deserved rebuke
to the reckless Republican jobbers and
speculators who sold themselves, "body
and breeches," and bartered away the pub
lic interests to a monster Railroad monop
oly. Shame on the miserable recreants

will be received by our readers as an indi

ation of its Editors, and of their dispobi- '
tion to do justice, however tardily, to the
loyal national Democracy. We trust our
neighbors will "stick to what they say" in
this article and not avail themselves of
an early occasion to "take it back," modify
it, or "explain it away." It is the truth and
nothing but the truth, and we rejoice that
they have the manhood and magnanimity
to utter it. The Democratic party has al
ways been for the Union and Constitution
of our fathers, and always will be. Devo
tion to our institutions and respect for law
are cardinal features of Democratic faith
and practice, and those who charge the
party with disloyalty do it gross and shame
less injustice. But to the article :
MR. STANTON.
President Lincoln designed the nomina
tion of Edwin M. Stanton as a graceful
compliment, as it is a just tribute, to the
Democratic party of the North for the
prompt and loyal support they have given
to his administration in the prosecution of
the war for the Union. It is a good invest
ment for his future fame, and the effect is
happy here, as it will be everywhere.
The influence of Mr. Chase is said to
have prevailed in the nomination of Mr.
Stanton as Secretary of War, but it is not
true the bankers have presented any ulti
matum on the subject. The entire history
of the change was reported correctly in the
N. Y. Times, but in no other paper in the
country.
TRACHEOTOMY.
That dangerous and difficult surgical
operation, called in technical phrase,
Tracheotomy, (making an opening in the
windpipe,) was performed by Dr. Shields,
of this place, on a child of Mr. Jacob Cole,
twenty months old.
About seventy-four hours before the opera
tion was performed, the child was playing
with a grain of corn, which, unfortunately,
found its way into the trachea, or wind
pipe, where it lodged. The only possible
hope for the child's life was suspended
upon the operation above alluded to. • Dr.
S. being called, performed the operation
with marked skill and success, leaving the
little one out of danger except that arising
from irritation.
We congratulate our young friend upon
his success in the surgical line, and hope
that those needing his services will not be
slow to call for them.

Oysters are and always have Leen decidedly
the best in market, and are in universal
demand. Col. REED, the obliging and gen

ular and long-established house, is still
supplying wholesale dealers, hotels and
private families on the most liberal terms,
and is rapidly increasing the already ex
tensive trade of the firm in Western Penn

a single or half-dozen Cans or a Case of
the choicest Oysters in the country. drop
in at No. 49 Fifth street and get them.—
We will warrant anything Col. REED sells
you as just the thing for any palate, even
that of an epicure. Try him, if you doubt
our word or taste.
PA TENT ROOFING.—B. F. SHOPE, No. 75
Smithfield street, is largely engaged in the

inspected some Roofs put on under Mr.
Saors's direction, and we have no hesita
tion in saying they are far. superior to any
thing of the kind we ever examined.—
Builders would consult economy, and ren
der their roofs durable and fire-proof, if
they would discard the old shingle roof,
and adopt the Canvass and Gravel roof.—
Mr. SHOPE furnishes builders in the coun
try with the material, and with complete
instructions for putting it on, at exceeding
ly moderate rates. Give him a call, and
judge for yourself.

Captain Latham, Company B, Sec
ond Virginia regiment, accompanied
by seventeen of his men, fell in with
a company of Guerrillas, numbering
about thirty, on the Dry Fork of
Cheat river, in Randolph county, Vir
ginia, one morning last week, and
after a desperate fight of an hour's
duration, completely routed them,
killing six and wounding several oth
ers, and Minting up their quarters
and provisions. Though the num
bers engaged were small, the firing
was so rapid that it was distinctly
heard for eight miles. The parties
were within thirty steps of each oth
er when the fight commenced, and
the rebels, owing to the superiority
of their numbers and position, were
so confident of success that they
fought for a time like tigers, but
were finally driven off the field.-
Captain Latham's loss was six men
wounded.

On Thum*, the 16th, Mr. Rhodes, of
Cumberland, on behalf of the Committee,
appointed to try the contested election
case of George W. Householder, of Bed- I
ford county, made a report deposing the
sitting member, Mr. Householder, and
giving the seat to the contestant, Mr. John I
•
Cessna. The report, which was very i
lengthy, embraced many facts in reference ;
to the past history of the counties of Bed- I
ford and Somerset, now forming one rep
resentative district. It referred to the con
stitutional guarantee of separate represen
tation for each county, and declared that!
the union of those named in 1857 was un
just and unconstitutional. Bedford, at the
time of its organization, contained a suffi
cient number of tazables to entitle it to
the usual representation, and as Mr.
Cessna had 1,000 majority in that county,
the Committee declare that he was duly I
elected. The report was accepted, and I
Mr. Cessna was sworn into office. Peti
tions have been presented contesting the
seats of a number of other members, but
as the one above is perhaps the most im
portant one, I have given the particulars
more fully in detail.

Whereas, It is alleged, and is believed
by many of the citizens of the common
wealth, that improper influences were
used in procuring the passage of an act,
at the last session of the Legislature, en
titled "An act for the Commutation of
Tonnage Duties ;" and
Tl'hereas '
It is due alike to the parties
implicated and to the public at large that
the allegations upon which said belief is
predicated should be investigated, in order
that truth may be vindicated and justice
be done to all : therefore,
.Rosolved, That a committee be appoint
ed, consisting of five, to inquire into all
the facts connected with the passage of
said act, and that they have power to
send for persons and papers.
Mr. Scott, of Huntingdon, offered the
following amendment :
"And that the committee be instructed
to report the names of all persons or offi
cers, in or out of the Legislature, by whom
and upon whom they may find such influ
ences to be used."
The resolution and amendment was
postponed until next Tuesday, to be takes
up immediately after reading the journal.
I intend next week to present a bill pro
viding for the collection of the relief tax,
and extending the relief laws to families

MESSRS. EDITORS: I see that the excel
lent Representative from Washington coun
ty—Col. Hopkins—has introduced into the
Legislature of Pennsylvania a resolution
asking for the repeal of the law passed at
the last session of the Legislature, repeal
ing the tonnage tax law, and asking for
a committee to enquire whether this repeal
was effected by corrupt means.
The present Legislature has the reputa
tion of being one of the ablest which has
for years assembled at Harrisburg, and if
the Representatives from this Congression
al district in the Lower House are fair
specimens, we may set them down as honest
as well as able. Hopkins, Kaine and
Donley are Representatives that would do
credit to any constituency.
I think the people should come forward
in their might and hack this effort of their
Representatives in these movements to
wipe from the statute books this corrupt
aw, and to expose the faithless Represen
atives who contributed to its passage.'
I may say, in passing, that the votes of
he Representatives of the city and county
.f Philadelphia, in favor of the repeal of
he tonnage tax, may be accounted for on
he score of interest. When it is recol
ected that that city and county, as (villa.
ators, are the owners of about one-half of
he stock of the Central Railroad, and that
he value of the stock would necessarily be
ncreased by relieving it from the burthen
.f the tonnage tax, they had at least a
.lapsible excuse for throwing this addi
ional taxation on the tax payers of the
salance of the State. But this hot should
.nly have stimulated the Representatives
from the other parts of the State to increas
-d exertions to protect their own constitu
..ncies from this foul wrong.
This is a time for the correction of pub
ic abuses, and bringing the Governments,
'state and National, hack to their original
.tirity. Reform in these times of the trial
.f our institutions should prevail every
-here. Now is a favorable time for puri
ying our public men, and requiring of
hose who offer themselves for public favor
he test. of integrity. Congress has com
tenced this purifying process by attempt
ng to bring to light the wicked and pro
use expenditure of the people's money, by
he harpies who are attempting to fasten
hemselves upon the public treasury
hrough the medium of Government con
racts. While our soldiers are exposing
heir health and risking their lives in
aintaining the Government, these corrupt
• epredators upon the treasury should be
.hansed into honesty. But this can only

gone of integrity in those who represent
!them in public positions.
This good , work can be.advanced by the

should be the *stare of every patriotic

THE TONNAGE TAX.
hide ifidefamed hoed, sillemet 16 *Moor
hoar of trial and tribulation.
To the Honeanbit, the Senate and House of
the Commonwealth of Poneylvemia
The petition of the undersigned, citizens
of Greene county, respectfully represents :
That the last Session of the Legislature of
the State, in total disregard of the interests
of the people, at the instigation of the
Central Rail Road Company of Pennsyl
vania, passed a law releasing that Com
pany from the payment of the tax, (called
the "Tonnage Tax") which it had volun
tarily imposed on its earnings, at the time
of the creation of its charter and upon
which condition it got its chartered privi
leges from a confiding people. This Tax
at the time of the repeal referred to,
amounted to over Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars, and would now, doubtless in con
sequence of the largely increased business
of that Company, amount to The Hundred
Thousand Dollars. This repeal took place
at a time when the people were greatly op
pressed by taxation for State purposes, and
increased their burdens to the extent of
the moneys thus withdrawn from the
Treasury of the State.
The repeal of the law, at the time, and
under the circumstances in which it took
place, justly excited the indignation of the
tax-payers of the State, against the Repre
sentatives who thus wantonly sacrificed
their interests, and subjected the Represen
tatives thus voting to the imputation of
being actuated by intseested motives.
A movement has commenced in the pres
ent Legislature for the repeal of the Re
pealing Law and to raise a Committee to
ascertain Whether this law was or was not
procured by corrupt means.
We respectfully urge upon the Repre
sentatives from this Senatorial and Repre
sentative District—and upon all the Repre
sentatives of the people, from every part of
the State, to exert their influence for the
repeal of this iniquitous law, and for a
searching investigation into the influences
which were brought to bear in the passage
of the law, and we will, &c.
The News from Cairo.
We have this morning another
batch of telegrams from Cairo,
which were published in the Eastern
papers of Saturday, and which
should have been furnished the press .
hare. It don't make much differ
ence, however, since it is now cer
tain that the last week's highly col
ored and exaggerated telegrams from
Cairo denoted only a feint, and were
a botch at that. The North was all
that was deceived. The rebel spies
are as well posted with our available
strength and intended movements at
Cairo and St. Louis, as if they held
high position in the army. The riv
er expedition is not yet ready, and
Columbus cannot be attacked at
present, simply because the force
there is much larger than ours, and
are well entrenched. All the clamor
raised West is intended, wititiout
doubt, to prevent the Columbu s f orce
from joining that 8 : 1- , 'Bowling Green.
There may be, however, an endeavor
on our part to break up the railroad
connection between the two places,
or even to hurry off a part of our
strength to aid Buell at the proper
time. Buell's battles are to decide
the fate of Columbus, and Memphis
too, and if Polk can be restrained
from shying off to Bowling Green
just at the wrong time that will be
enough.
