The House proceeded to the consideration of
bill No. 288, entitled a supplement to the me
chanics' lien law.
The bill passed finally
SLISTIMATION oa ZEIII,TOIOTAGNI TAX.
The - House proceeded to the hohsideration of
House bill No. 241, entitled an act to repeal an
act for thecommutation of the tonnage duties.
The pending question tee on the amendment
of Air. Wiradans, as follohs:
Strike out all after the enactingclause and
insert the following:
WILSBNAS, An act was passed at the last 'ses
sion of the Legislature purporting to be an act
for the commutation of tonnage duties, b ,
means whereof the urn of seven hundred an
fifty-two thousand three hundred and eight dol
lars and forty-one cents or thereabouts, besides
interest, then owing to the State by the Penn
sylvania railroad company, and in contempla
tion of law in the treasury of the State, togeth
er with a large annual revenue stipulated to be
paid by the skid company as the price of its
charter, and by way of compensation for the
deterioration in value of the main line of the
public works apprehended and actually inflicted
by the construction and operation of the said
road, which reTenue had aireany reached the
sum of three hundred thousand dollars and up
wards, and would have amounted at this time
to a greatly larger sum, with the prospect of
indefinite increase—were wrongfully, unjustly
and unconstitutionally withdrawn from the ,
sinking fund provided by the constitution and
laws of this State for the payment of the public
debt thereof, and made sacred and inviolable
for that purpose, upon suggestions which were
false, and on pretended •cousiderations which
were either in conflict with the constitution or
utterly illusory and worthless in themselves,
amounting in•effect, under color of a pretended
contract or commutation, to a gratuitous dona
tion of all the said moneys and revenue to a
private corporation, without any substantive
equivalent whatever, thereby violating the
plighted faith of the State, and increasing the
inuthens of the people at a time when the ne
cessities of 'the country pre-eminently required
the most rigid economy and the strictest hus
bandry of their resources;
And tohertiiii, the:said act was approved by the
Governor, as shown by his message to the House
of -Repreestitiptiveeef the 6th day of February
last, past, undera stipulation in writing, for the
benefit, of the people ' _which was not made
knoaoi teriliem, and has since been surrendered
without their knowledge or consent , on the de
mand of 'hie said company without 'any pre
vious registry in the proper office, and without
even the pepservation of a copy thereof ;
And . Wherias, It hi affirmed and believed that
the terms of the said act of Assembly. were
dictated by the said company ; and that the
passage thereof, was procured uy improper and
unlawful means other than those which have
been already recited on the part of the said
company and its agents.
Sserroni 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Reprerettatives of the .fitmencenvealth 9f Penny/ea
nia, vs General Assembly met, and it is hereby
masted by the authority of the same, That the
said recited act of Assembly of the 7th day of
March, a.. D. 1861, ba and the same is hereby
repealed, and the said, tonnage tax, or duties
imposed by the act incorporating the said
Pennsylvania railroad company is hereby re
stored, re-impolied, and made payable to the
Commonwealth in the same manner, and upon
the same terms and conditions as though the I
said repealing act had,never been passed.
Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty of the At
torney General to proceed forthwith tosue for,
recover and collect by distress, irrepleviable or
otherwise, the arrears of the Said tonnage tax,
which were due and owing at the time of the
passage of , the said recited act which is hereby
repealed, together with such additional tax or
duties as would have accrued upon the tonnage
of the said company, until the date of the pre
sent act ; and for the proper ascertainment of
the amount of the said additional tax, it shall
be the duty of the said company to file forth
with, in the office of the Auditor General, a
statement duly authenticated by the oaths of
the President and Treasurer of said company,
of the amount of their buainess so made taxa
ble, for the intervening period, and also to fur
nil the Auditor General, from time to time,
such other and additional statements and such
access to their books as he may judge necessary
, for the purpose of the said suit or other pro
oeedings, hereby authorized; Provided, however,
that the , moneys paid by the said company on
account of the said pretended commutation
over and beyond the annual instalment or in
stalments, 'payable by them on their bonds for
the purchase money of the public works, shall
be credited upon the arrears of the said tax,
which were due and owing at the passage of
the said repealed act, and allowed in the col-
lection of tue said arrears.
Mr. CESSNA. moved to amend the amend
ment by striking therefrom the words "unjustly
and unconstitutionally," and the words "which
were labs° and pretended," and insert the word
" and," so as to make it read " upon sugges
tions and considerations 'which were either in
conflict with the constitution," etc.; also, to
strike out the second paragraph of the preamble;
also, to strike out the whole of the third para
graph of the preamble ; also, to strike out, in
the second line of the second section, the word
" irrepleviable."
The amendments were discussed up to the
hour of adjournment.

pay of the Navy Department. He said the

Vide for carrying the mails of the 'United States
to foreign porta.
Mr. LiTR6I4, (Cal.,) said for the last few
months the communication had been almost
entirely interrupted, to the Pacific coast, in
consequence of the unprecedented floods which
have prevented the progress of the overland
mails. Commerce had been much injured in
consequence. The lines of ships plying from N.
York to Panama decided they would not carry
mails nor Government dispatches ; this was an
outrage on the Government and the commer
cial community. These very companies had
received ten millions of dollars from the Gov
ernment, but now they take the opportunity
to force the mail contract from the Govern
ment. Such vessels ought not to be allowed
to clear from the porta, or have the protection
of the flag, if they refused to afford any ac
commodations to the Government or the coun
try. The bill referred.

INPLUENCE or YOUNG WOMM—Next to moth
ers, rung women have the greatest agency in
forming the characters of the other sex. Their
Influence commences at a period when it is
most needed. Young men, although their
characters are in a great measure formed, re
quire some powerful restraints, just at the time
when they are becoming acquainted with the
world, and beginning to move beyond the in
spection of a mother's eye. Young women
with whom they associate are the guardians of
their virtues, and accountable for the most of
the evil practices into which they fall.
It requires but little observation to see that
multitudes of young men, who are destitute of
religious principle, pursue that line of conduct
which is most likely to meet the views of the
women with whom they associate, and *hose.
approbation they desire. There is not a preva
lent vice among them that would not be given
up; were it reprobated, and the perpetritors
avoided by the young, the fashionable, and the
intelligent of the other sea.
None but the most hardened blasphemer will
utter an oath in the presence of a respectable
wom an. If the omission to do good or to pre
vent evil, when in one's power, be a crime,
what a tremendous account we have to render
on the score of profaneness, gambling, smoking
and chewing tobacco. These practices, which
disturb the peace of society, mar the h appiness
of families, hurry multitudes to death and per
dition, and must ultimately call down the in
dignation of heaven on our guilty race, might
be; greatly, if not entirely exterminat ed, by a
vigorous-and judicious effort on the part of
women.
Let such practices be uniformly mentioned
in terms of reprobation, and let us avoid those,
them= as we would the midnight'
' atatusdn, or the greatadversary of Clod and man.
