Also, a communication from the Attorney Ge neral in reply to a resolution of the Senate, calling upon him for informatiewas to the pro gress made in the collection of tonnage tax due by ;lie Pennsylvania Itailviad_company. The communication was read ; and,,,, On motion of 'Mr. PENNEY, ordered to be printed in the Record. ; It is as follows: Speaker , To the Hon. Robert 3f. Painter, I of,the Senate: The resolution of the 'body, over Which you preside, passed yesterday, calling uporkmgcfOr information as to tbe,progrcw Whie has, :been made in the collection of tonnage li tax due 'the Commonwealth by the • Pstmtlylvania Railroad company, was this morning received. Last week, during my absence at home, a similar re solution was passed by thellouse of Represent atives, but under an expectation of my imme diate return to the seat o f government, it was not forwarded to me in tipap,to allow my an swer to be drawn and returned before tk.?, , p"3 7 sage of the bill. The answer was drawn andlorwirdedat'ifie. earliest possible moment , after tinresolution was received, and but for the 'eXtraordinary, precipitancy with which the hill:Was &Assad, would have been in ample, : time. _ On Saturday, the 16th lust., for the :first time, and greatly to my surprise, I was infoimect the bill was actually uponits pas Sage, but did not fin; a moment sup Pose that final.action would be pressed until the, information asked for should be received. A bill of such magnitude, InVolvingmillions, of dollars, it was reasonable to expect, would have been thoroughly.discussed, and very ma turely considered, before the final vote, ould be asked for, even by its warmest,friends. The: unexpected rapidity ot its . passagc impreseed me at once with the importance of repairing to the seat of government immediately, ; so that I might be in readiness to answer without into ment's delay a similar resolution which pre-, sumed would be passed by your body. The information retiticatqd tilMfi.IXT, here with resbeatfullysubtriitted;-to-Wit:: Two appeals from the settlement of two sop. mate accounts' made by tho Auditor General and State Treasurer against the - Pennsylvania Railroad company, relative to tax on,tannage, were taken by said company and entered, as, provided by law,in the Court of Common Hem of Dauphin county, to Nos. 197, April term, 1869, and 78 November terus.lo9.
