CONCENTRATED LEAVEN is the re
salt of careful chemical research. All Its ingredi
outs are prepared in the.highesi state of purity, and com
pounded with a view to produce brtad of a far better
quality, and , in much lees '
time, than by any Mbar pro
cess ; and by the nalmAtetut els submit it, with entire
copildence, to the judgment of_ d•seriminating house
keeperit, bakere, - tie.
Bread of all trines made by asingecineentrated Leaven
is IL titer, more digestible and nuitritious;.has an agrees.
ble, natural taste; is less liable to Sour ; retain its
moisture longer than by as> other process, and the
whole preparation for the oven need not exceed ten
minutes.
It is 'valuable because it is not perishable,and may be
rendered available. in places and atilmes when yeast is
not within reach, as at sea. In all climates and under
all tirctraistances,Jt may be adopted,ibus . pbviating,all
difficulty of procuring yeaSt or other ferrite t; whish is
frequently of an inferior quality, rer dering the bread
more or less unwholesome.
It is also valuable as regards .econemy, as it has-been
ascertained that, a Slaving' is:effecredjut
less than 10 per Cent. In the common Proems much of
the saccharine of the lour is lakt by being converted
into'carboole acid - gas, or RIME, and the waste,ts in
curred-solely for:the purpote of .genorating gas toiraise
the dough. By using Concentrated Leaven this, waste is
avoided, and the gas obtained in manner equally effi
cacious. Fermentation, as has , been stated, destroys a
part of the flour or meal, pad, in conaequence, a barrelof
Lour weighing 195 IDs , which, by the common method,
ordinarily makes about 250 lbs of bread, elves by this
process 290 lbs , thus effecting the very important saving
of 16 per cent. in themmniity.efdeur. By conformity to
the direetions on each package, any person capable of
ordinary attention May conduct the process, and the re
sult will invariably be highly satisfactory.
CERTIFICATE FROM DE. HAUS,
Assayer to the gate of Alassachusetts.„
tti have analysed the Concentrated Leaven, manufac
tured by Messrs. Edw. Chamberlin & Ca., with reference
to its purity aid efficiency of action in producing the ef
pet of yeast in distending dough, and thereby rendering
e fit' for making bread. 'lbis article is skillfully con
founded, from perfeetly pure material. It raises the
dough without consnmlng the sugar or any other prinel.
ple in the flour, perfectly; and the name weight et flour
will produce more sweet, palatable` bread' than can be
obtained through yeast;
n while for cakes and pastry it is
invaluable, as it saves all rick, and mach time of the
pastry cock.
"The experiments made by me confirm the statements
made by the manufacturers, and proves this compound
worthy of public approval and extended use.
"Respectful ly, .

Act :to-pay the claim of John Mong, of.Sorner

The SPEAKER. There,Was a motion: made
and seconded the other reConsider the
vote by which the i Senate ref Used" tO wee to
the bill. That motion was postponed " for the
present.
The motion of Mr. WILIRION was agreed .
to;
And the question being; .
Will the Senate agree to reconiidei the
vote had on the bill ?
It was agreed to.
The queation then recurring on thebill, •
;,Thetrat section was read. ,
Mr. PENNEY. When ' this : bill was up, a
few .days 'ego, I took occasion to express my
views in reference to it. I have only to rePeat
that this bill, in itself, may be meritorious,, for
_for,. aught I know. If it be true, as set 'forth
in the preamble, the the party claiming to have
his money refundedie him here, was misled by
imforifiation received at the Surveyor General's
Office, this bill may take exception to the gene
, ral rule' in ouch cases. I know that thereare'
in thelltate of Pennsylvania parties who make .
it a, business ' to go about the'country and when
ever :they can, as, they imagine, discover a die %
crepandy between surveys, in. adjacent•traets of
land; get out from the Surve!yor General'a of- .
fice a warrant of survey, upon e awe speeule
,tion as to the result of -such proceeding, to the
annOyance of men who own the.titles but do,
not have them properly attended to. As - a
general rule; . I say that the principle contained
in this "bill. s wrong .. l- cannot and Will not
vote for 'any such bill, unlOs I fun satisfied by.
unquestioned testimon in -regard to its pur
pose or the peculiar 'position 'of the parti
cular bill in hand. It is set out in its
preamble that the party herein named was de
cetierthy information from the lend office..
That maybe stated by any Mail whO 'enters
atom this sort of speculation. It is also stated
there that equity requires that this money
should be refunded, when application, is nude
within oli'Years• We haVe no • eyidence that
this:application was intelawlurin qi years, or
when it was made. Every man who makesthe
semesort of claim can come in with e *oiler
preamblO and without evidence er. -anything
elsei fan recover the amount of purchase mo
ney. If the door: is once opened, lam informed
that hundreds 'and thousands of dollars are
liableto be taken out of the Treasury. I think
it :is-better that a few individuals should suffer
from Speculations of this character, than that
the door should be opened, and the Treasury of
the Conunonweath exposed to such a plunder.
Mr. , WHARTON. I have no disposition.at
any time or on any occasion to press a bill upon
the attention of the Senate, in regard to which
lam not satisfied that is
,equitable in its pro-
Visions. There is no intention to do other than
justice by the passage of this bill. ,The Corn:
monivealth can lose nothing in this instance,
because she has had the,use of thie money for
four or Ave years. As to the argument of, the
Senator from All . egheny that this proceeding
opens the door for an invasion of t,he,TreasurY,
I have to say, that it deer not open - the door for
any other purpose' than to do, justice, because
the Cordmonwealth is not called upon to PaY.
that - which she has not received. The gentle.:
man Making this clairn hi an honest citizen ' a.
resident'of Somerset county. Heis , arnechatdc
and does not care anything atiOnt Bpm:dating in

The pgainble t tQ this
seta forth' . tha thel the money
should be refunded before six years have elapsed.
The preamble seta ordtbat this money was paid
on the 4th of September, 1854. Sixyears have
expired since that time. The Sepator's own
preamble cuts up his equity.
Mr. WHARTON. I desire to explain ; this
1 :# 11 igis been a subject of legislation here for
:some years back, having ~passed both houses.
It was all - right with regard to time when it
passed this body before.
• Mr. I'ENNEY. All I -- have to say in reply
is, that the Senator shouldmodify his preamble,
.because as it now stands it cuts up his equity.
.111r..W11931T0N. This bill, at a former ses
sion'
having passed both Houses and being
sent to the Governor, was vetoed' by hiM, to
gether with a batch of bills that went before
.him, to which he had some objections. What
eier fate this bill may have before this Senate r ,
one thing is.certain, that this- body has-passed
and will pass leSS equitable claims. This money
was honestly paid into the hands of the Com
monwealth and this gentleman:only asks to
haven restored. If Senators who are so conscien
ciths about agreeing to this bill will keep their
consciences right to the end of the session, we
may believe that the Senate has done some
justice to the Commonwealth. If our Jaws in
relation to land titles are such that citizens are
deceived in this way, it is not the fault of those
citizens but of the officers of the Common
wealth. •
Mr. BLOOD. I would like to know the
name of &El:Senator Who hadthis bill in charge
when it was passed before so that I may be
satisfied that I am consistent in my vote in
relation to its passage at the present time.
Mr. WHARTON. Mr. Schell was the Sena
tor's name..
Mr. BLOOD. Then I will vote for the . bill.
Mr. LA.NDON: I wish to know if this is a
Democratic measure.
. Mr. WHARTON It is an equitable mea
sure..
Mr..PENNTY. I wOuld like to know from
the Senator froth. 'Huntingdon whether he con
siders the words Democratic and equitable to be
synonymous..L.._
Mr. WHARTON. :Yes, sir; for I have always
considered ;that the Democratic party, as long
as it kept on the right course, was equitable in
its proceedings; but since it has left -the - old
track and departed from right principles it has
not succeededand cannot succeed in maintain
ing an equitable position. - •

Will the Senate agree to the first section of
the bill ? •

OF LUXOUtitli
Mr. FULLER moved that the Senate proceed
to the consideration of House bill, No. 'l6; enti
tled "an Act for the better security of the wages
of laborers.' ' . .
The motion was aggeed to ;
And-the Senate - went lido Committee of the
Whole, Mr.' CRAWFORD'in the Chair, on said
bill.
The first section was Then. read, 403 follows:* •
Sac. 1. Beat enagai, Bfe., That allmages.that
may.be due froni the owner or evniers of any

That the same be presented to the officer exe

Mr. FULLER moved to amend by.inserting
in the fifth line, after the word "establish
ment," the works "in the county of Fayette,"
thereby, making it a local bill, applying to Fay
ette county only.
'On thAqueiition, • -
Will the Committee. agree so to amend ?
Mr. SMITH favored the proposition of the bill
being general in its nature. - •
He said : All the provisions that can be ex
tended for the protection of poor mechanics and
workingmen in the collection of , their wages,
ought to be extended , by, the Legislature. I
would - regret the paisage:of any amendment
making this merely a locabbill. • -
Mr. FULLER. I cheerfully withdraw my
motion to amend, in order that it may not in
terfere with the passage of the bill.
Mr: PENNEY. I intend .now to say what I
have to say on this bill as a matter of general
policy. I oppOseit not becauee• lam not-iii fa
vor of protecting the laborer ,in collecting his
wages, lout because this bill is utterly In:4:er
-feet froth, beginning to end, is regard-nu:the
proteAtion allowed the property owner,-.and ut,

the' l inaohency occurs, all claims," etc. The
date of insolvency is fixed by the Act itself.
Mr. PENNEY. The Senator mistakes my
Point altogether.
Suppose a man becomes insolvent to-day, I
would like to know how the fact of his inset
vency isle' be ascertained. What judicial pro
ceedings are to be instituted in order to deter
mine when he is insolvent ; ot, in other words,
to determine the time from" which ' the insol
vency is to date. Now there is already a law
:upon your statute books _which provides that
when an insolvent firm makes an assignment,
which is a confession of that insolvency, then
the wages of labor are to be protected,
: I make-this point in reference to the uncer
tainty set forth bath's bill. It provides alien
against the property of a party for six months
before such party becomes insolvent. The point
tmake is that,you have no means of determin
ing by any legal process or record as to the
time at which a party or firm becomes insol
vent.;
"I may have laborers employed, and may
to-day be utterly insolvent. I may have been
insolvent for a year past, and may owe wages
to laborers. What period are you going to de
termine as the point at which that lien for ser
vices' commences ? Is it to be on the day when
some proceedings may be had against me, or at
some period in the past ? Suppose I am insol
vent to=day, and there has been no legal pro
ceeding against me ; I sell my farm to-morrow,
and you, Mr. Speaker, become the purchaser of
I that'fan2a. You-look at the record for liens
against it, and find that there is not
'a dollar against it ; and yet I may
be perfectly insolvent. You purchaae the farm
and afterwards institute an investigation as to
whether I was insolvent or not, at the time I
sold it. How are you, as the purchaser, to be
protected by such means as those set forth in
the bill. you buy it from me, and I have a
hundred men in my employ, and to each of
them I owe one hundred dollars. When you
come to investigate your record, you find the
title is clear and you pay me the purchase mo
ney, and yet every man in my , employ six
menthe before that purchase, may come in and
assert his right and enlace his lien against you.
That is'what I object to. - The mechanics' lien
'giving 'laborers their wages for six months after
the completion Of the building,'is a-very differl
ent affair, because a man who buys a new build
ing has notice that that building has been com
pleted within six months, and it is his duty to
inquire of the contractors and men who frimith
the materials whether they have been paid. -But
if you make -a, general law, that a rman
who is insolvent is liable for wages to those
whom he has employed within six months of
the occurrence of his insolvency—a thing nn
deterndned-ayonntay do Injustice. The exact
period at which I become insolvent cannot be
stated. Hut the general law makes this provi
sion,that whenever =insolvent corporation or
individual makes an assignment, then the
kikgrent-libali-- be_preferrA to _,the
amount ofin that case because that is a
legal [confession which goes upon the record
of the date of the insolvency. They
are not liens' , against property but pre
ferred claims against the fund, when made
in ' the hands of an assignee. That Ido
not object . to. But.here you make it run back
for. six-months from the date of insolvency,
when that date cannot be fixed by judicial pro
ceeding, and there is n o means of ascertaining
Such date, unless an assi - L enment be made by the
partY. Take another case:. It applies to a case
of death. Six months from the time that the
party dies, it makea it a lien opon that property.
The objection I have to the tole bill is simply
this that it provides for a lieu upon the real
estate of parties, without pro viding for any
record that gives notice to the pNurchaser. It
does not provide, even in case of sale by the
Orphans' Court, whether the proporty shall be
sold free of the lien or not.
- The first section was then agreed to:
The second section was read, as folloers
Sze. 2. That in the case of the - dissolution,
by death or otherwise, of any partnership, firm
or incorporated company,all debts due or owing
to operatives or labelers for• service performed
for such, partnership, firm or incorporated cora
-1 parry; for any period not exceeding one year,
81411 fast be. provided for and paid out of the
effects or assets of said firm or company, in
preference of or to any other' claim. Provided,
That this" Act shall not impair:or affect the
right of the widow or children of any decedent
to retain three hundred dollars as provided by
existing laws of this Commonwealth. .
The section was agreed to.
The Committee' then rose and 'reported the
bill, without amendment, when it was laid
over.
At 6 o'clock, p. m., Mr. LAWRENCE moved
to defer the hour of adjournment for a few rap.
