REAL ESTATE EXEMPTED MOM TAx-
ATION.---On the twenty-third day of Feb
ruary, 1866, Governor Curtin signed an
act entitled "An act tp amend the reven
ue law of the Commonwealth." The 4th
section of this act provides as follows, viz :
SECTION 4. From and after the pas
sage of this act real estate of the Com
monwealth'shall be EXEMPT from tax
ation for State purposes Provided, That
this section shall net be construed to re
lieve said real estate from the payment of
any taxes due the Commonwealth at the
date of the passage of this act.
Here we have the plain language of the
act that real estate shall hereafter be EX
EMPT from taxation. Remember the
language—"EXEMPT," not repeal. Now
look again at the several articles in the
new Constitution, which read as follows :
.iwricLE IX-TAXATION AND FINANCE.
SEortos 1. All taxes shall he uni
form upon the same class of subjects with
in the territorial limits of the authority
levying the tax, and shall be levied and
collected under general laws; but the
General Assembly may, by general Isws
exempt from taxation public property uttinl•
for public purposes, actual places of reli•
,gious worship, places of burial not used or
hired for corporate profit, and institutions
of purely public charity.
Sixalox 2. ALL LAWS EXEMPTING
FROM TAXATION other than the property
above enumerated WALL BE VOID.
Is this language not plain enough to
restore the taxes on Real Estate? It was
ExrzurTED from taxation in 1866; and
now the new Constitutton asp all such
laws SHALL BE VOlD.—.Harrisburg

MEETING CF CONGRESS,—The fortY
sthird Congress cotnmenced long ses
ion Monday last, I.'lfis will be the first
Congress assembled under the new mad
increased apportionment in . the . ;goose
of Representatives, making the number
of members 292. The administration will
hold 195 seats, giving it a majority of 98..
The opposition will be in a greater Min
ority than in the last Congress, as it then
numbered 111 members out of 243, and
now there are hut 97 democrats and liber
als in a total of 292.
It is to be hoped that among the first
matters attended to at the approaching
session will be the passage of a bill allow
ing the free circulation .of newspapers in
counties they are printed, gins removing
the unjust tax which the last ,congress
put upon the subscribers to county papers.

it should be burns in mind, involves the
adoption of the Entire instrument.
Is the instrument free from defects?—
We think not ws.hOlieVii it to
be a medley of the most startling and rad
ietiFdefectS."'TA"carentl'exibliiigtion"aer
reveal, this to .every - fair minded span-in '
the: Commonwealth. TWQ :of ita most
earnest defenders with the pen and, upon
the rostrum (Col. Forney and K. Mc..
Clure) publicly proclaim that it contains
much which. they would have . left out
while.there is much left out which they
would prefer to have in. They are com
pelled•teadtait its demerits, but urge its
adoption on the ground that the good it
contains ; as they allege, overbalances the
bad. The fact is, the pill •is so nauseous
that they find, it necessary in ,order to get
the people to swallow it,, to attempt the
sugarcoating business. Wenidit not be
a much — better way to remand Tthe ,docu
ment to its authors and compel them to
remedy its detects or make provision, for
submiting it to the people. to be voted ,up
on b sections, se that they could reject
all those provisions.which strike a mortal
blow at some ef our most vital interests.
It is not ,our purpose Mr. Editor, (we
know, you would not, have the space to
print them) to point eut the many, mon
strosities of-the, document.. Our •purpose
is simply to arousethe people to a careful
examination of it in the Short space allot
ted to them before the election. Esp . eci ,
ally, as yours is an agricultural region,
would we call the attention of every, farmr
-et—to-tile- article on "Taxation and Fi
nance" (Article 9), Sections 1 and 2. It
is held by many able men that these sec
tions repeal the law exempting, real estate
ftom.State tax. Read and judge for your
selves. Then, again, the Legislature is
.prohibited from making appropriations
r - " aif e& bei
nor chart► ie, luut ,or inevo
lent purposes to any person or communi
ty." I cannot do better than give you
the words of the venerable Eli K. Prim
upon.this subject. Mr. Price is oneof the
purest and ablest lawyers in the State.—
He says :
"Are the people of our State prepared
for such prohibition, or even the risk. of
it? If we accept them in our Constitu
tion 'we can never hide them. We bind
them on our forehead to be seen of all
people. No appropriations shall be made
for charitable, educational, or benevolent
purpose.s. We • will do this too while we
are inviting all. peoples and nations to
come here.and witness the evidences of
our progress in civilization and refinement.
All charity may decay, the institutions of
learning languish, and benevolence be
exhausted' of resources ; pestilence may
sweep through the land, our cities be laid
in ashes, yet the sovereignty •of our Com-•
monwealth, self-paralyzed by this Consti
tution, will be impotent to apply one dol
lar for the succor of her beneficent insti
tutions or the relief of a , widely-suffering
humanity. • The liberal deeds of other
States may put'her to shame, but in help
less sorrow she must endure her humilia
tion. .We can be no longer proud of our
good Commotivrealth when she shall be so
stripped of her sovereignty as to be disa
bled to do deeds of mercy and goodness."
And so, Mr. Editor, we are obliged to
leave this new Constitution without touch
ing upon any more of its numerous defects.
Our old Constitution is somewhat anti
quated and needs amendment, but let the
people, who have prospered under it, pon
der well before they east it aside for a
new one such as is now attempted to be
thrust down, their :throats by such pure
patriots and disinterested reformers as the
McClures, the Forneys; the;Woodwards,
the. Blacks, the.Buckalews, the Biglers,
and others of the same ilk. Why,
the
very fact that these gentlemen, who have
long since been retired by the people on
account of their eccentricities in the poli
tical arena, advocate the new instrument,
should lead the imegressive people of our
good old State to look upon it with sue.

A SINGVLA Can.—A correspondent
of the Daily .11114onliza notes tile following
singular occurrences: On Monday of last
week a little son of S. McLelland living
near Comly, Montour county, aged about
three years, received a slight cut on the
end.of his finger from a pair of scissors.—
The end of the finger was cut only a little
more than skin deep. The cut continued
without intermission to drop blood in spite
of all efforts to stop the' bleeding, Until
the parents became alarmed and applied
to• a physician. The Doctor recommend
ed an application thit soon stoppedthe
bleeding. On Thursday night the atten
tion of the parent, was attracted by the
unnatural breathing of the child, and in
the twinkling of an eye, almost, he was
dead.
.The particulars of a sad affair
which, ocurred in Bedford County, cn
Thursday afternoon of last week, are thus
'given by the Bedford Inquirer: "Mr.
Henry Gate s , a gentleman of ; about sev
enty years of age, was stopping with his
son, Martin Gates During the day, the
little children came to the conclusion that
it would• be proper to have chicken for
supper• for granpa, and requested him to
shoot the. chicken. The mother and a
little boy about four years' of age stood in
the door to watch the proceedings. The'
old gentleman went around the barn, and
I:iied a plump pullet gerched on a stick
on the barn floor. He rook aim and fir
ed—the chicken dropped, with its head
severed from its body; but the fatal bul
let, 'after passing through the 'barn door,
struck the child, penetrating the brain,
'causing death in four minutes."
