Facts for Tax Payers. We call the attention of the Tax-payers of Pennsylvania, of all political parties, stripes stnd creeds, to the following startling develop . 'meat of rank, gross, undeniable, and most unblushing corruption, in the awarding of the contracts upon the railroad to avoid the inclined planes of the Alleghany Portage.— It is a revelation that should prove of great importance to the people, in ming their eyes to the enormous wholesale, ystem of plunder practiced upon the State by those in power, and which is daily sink in! it deep• er and deeper in debt, and inert sing, the great burthens of taxation. In lettings of public woks by and through public advertisements, it is the practice to allot the worle. , to the lowest bidder," prc vided there is reasonable g round to sup. pose that such bidder is a responsible one. But in all of the cases below, it will be teen that the contract was given to "THE 411011 EST BIDDEIZS'," although the low. 4, , 5t. bidders were men of well known cx fperience as contractors, and who had in many instances been employed upon public ‘‘itrl,s •of that kind. It will also he seen that the lower bidders range very near one anoth er, thus slaiwinfr that all of them understood what they were about,and lied a good knowl edge of the business. But th ese "lower bidders" were not pol;thwl favorites, deser ving, of the favor of being enriched from the Treasury. They were tinm who expected to work for their money out of their bids, had the work been allotted to them. So that there was not the shadow of an excuse for the fraud and swindle which has been perpetrated upon the people of the State by those into whose hands the manageinimt of these things have been placed. I Jere 'then is the small sum of ONE UNDREI ) AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLA Ity in contracts involving, an expenditure of half a million or more, how much are they swindled out of in the expenditure of the 7.`fIREE MILLIONS which are distributed annually upon the public improvements ? To the amount of one million ? Not much short of it ! Will the people, after such an exposition of facts, countenance and sanc tion such robbery ? Will they endorse the stain upon the Commonwealth ? Will they not rebuke the deed, and set their mark against such high-handed, brazen•faced cor ruption ? Will it Open their eyes to the im portance of electing a member of the Beard of Canal Commissioners el different politics from the tnajority ? Will it impress upon them the safety, and necessity of having a Canal Cominissioner.who cannot be made the instrument of scheming and designing demagogues, who make po:ii cs a trade and cloak for all kinds of corruption, for the benefit of themselve.s ? If it do s, and they . are resolved to put a stop to this system of iniquity that is eurruptitt every puhlic rchannel of the state, let them work for the • election of Moses Towne!, the IVhiz condi •date for Canal COMM i:•SiOner--thC 111 H ii- gent and incorruptibh, business inan—the the honest Representative who set his lace against these corruptions whin a member of the Legislature, and refusod to ettLtur.se them by his votes. Lot him be elected to the Canal I3oard, and the hydra of official corruption will roceive a futiol;o that will soon drive it from its hiding place,. . 1 /woitni bid by rr bponsible 541.•195 4,530 SeC/ion Ten Bid by 13url:1101(.1pr & Co Bid by J 13 Lyon & Sons Bid by It Stewart Let to Charles Carson at Average bid Loss to Commonwealth .

On Saturday the 20th instant, n German pedlar, ts hose name we were unable to as certain, was most brutally attempted to be murdered in Greene county, within about eight miles of Coxsackie, under the follow ing circumstances, as related by the unfor tunate mall when discovered on the road. The ,pedlar states that he was walking on the plank road leading into Coxsackie, at about :3 o'clock on that afternoon, expecting to be overtaken by the stage, in which he intended to secure his passage. A man came up to him and entered into conversa tMn, remarking that he was also going into Coxsackie. In the course of the conversa tion the pedlar informed the man that he had sold about half of his goods, and had realized some little money. Scarcely had they walked together half a mile before time stranger fell somewhat behind, and instantly discharged a ball from a six barrel revolver, which entered the back of the pedlar, pass ing around the ribs, and lodging in the outer skin covering the abdomen. The injury, however, did not cause the pedlar to fall, and instantly the assassin presented the pis tol again at the body of his victim, demand ing at the seine time his stoney. The poor pedlar begged for his life, and handed to the robber all the money he had, which amount ed to one hundred dollars. No sooner, however, had the money been delivered to him than he again fired the pistol, the charge seriously injuring the ped lar in the neck, and with a demoniac deter- Initiation to despatch his victim the robber discharged the revolver a third time, the ball from which entered the shoulder. This last shot brought the pedlar to the ground insensible ; and the villain supposing he had done the job, dragged his victim a short distance from the road, and piled on his head and body several pieces of rock and stone, and then fled. This deed of blood' was perpetrated about three o'clock in the afternoon, and at about four o'clock the Stage came along, on its way to Coxsackie. The driver saw the pedler, and went io his as sistance, and found him yet alive, but in n very weak state: Ile was placed in the stage, and conveyed to the next village, where medical aid was procured, and soon after, by the application of restoratives, the pedlar was sufficiently restored to his sen ses, to give an account of the affinr and a description of the assassin. The surgeon in attendance extracted one of the bullets, but the injuries are said to be of a fatal character, and but little hope is en tertaint4of his recoveoy. The assassin was subsequently traced to l a village called Gayhead, where he hired a $18.478. man to drive him to Cattski!l, alleging for 17,450 the great haste he exhibited that his father n 19,575 was very ill in New York, and he was fear -17.550 ful he would.die before he reached him.- 22 . 1 00 When in Catskill the murderer manifested 1 t ,,202 the same anxiety to hurry away ; he went into a barber's shop, where he was shaired, saying he was on his way to Albany to see his sick father. He crossed the river at Catskill, for the purpose of taking the Hud son River Railroad either for New York or Albany ; but the impression is, that he took the cars for New York, possibly on his way for California. The robber is described as being a man over six, feet height, powerful ly made, and wore a green colOred coat. 24,630 17,019 $7,551 t. 14,070 15,790 I 7,070 15,7112 20,600 15,555 45,1'24 $15,500 16,350 111,958 16,225 22,250 16,2(15 q 5,085 $11,293 12,340 13,1511 15,951 12,•251 $3,700 $7,025 7,150 7.112 9.000 7,095 $2,504 81,742 $5:3,750 57,150 06,300 61,250 77,250 60,112 $17,138 $3,b38 029,750 28,950 38400 29,800 41,350 29,725 0, 11,625 The Price of Flesh. The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal has the following ; "Ilion PRICE OF Nnoitous.—We know not to what cause to attribute it, hut better prices have been offered by traders for this description of property, than we have ever before known. Negro fellows of very or chnary appearance, are bringin g $lOOO very rapidly.—Women are selling from $7OO to slooo.—Boys weighing about fifty pounds I I can be sold for about $5OO. This is the sum for selling, if any one is so disposed.—. l M-1 nerson's Gazelle.. "We would also remark, that about the the same state of things exist in this town, and the prospect is that negroes are going still higher. We know of one broker, (Mr. NlcCosr.v) who sold a number of negroes last week, men and women, at prices ran ging front SS2S to $1;200 ; and we learn that he has also sold men, without any trade ns high as 1300. It really seems that there 1 is to be no stop to the rise. This species ' of property is at present 30 per cent, high er now (in the dull season of the year) than it was last January, when everybody seem ed to be in the marl making preperations for the present year. What negroes will bring next January, it is impossible to say. An intimate acquaintance of ours had occa sion to buy a house girl, and the price was only the small sum of $1000." That nigger-boys, weighing only 50 pounds, should fetch $5OO a piece, shows that human flesh when young and tender, is worth $lO n pound, though it is not usu al to sell 'it so out of the Fejee islands.— That those ordinary looking niggers should fetch slooo—who probably weigh 150 pounds, proves that their flesh is worth $7 a pound, the odds being the difference as to toughness. Women, weighing say VW pounds and fetching $l2OO is a fair price a pound ;, their flesh is as tender again. Al.! together the prices are extraordinarily favor. j able for the slave pen.—Tribune. $31,175 30,400 30,175 30,125 30,150 13*.i,150 30,405 $7,745 $14,051 11,174 11,400 124:10 18,350 1:2,2(19 $6,112 518,850 25 659 21,950 10,20(1 27,100 21,178 $5,413 $10,151 EMI C 5.415 9,129 11. , 150 P 2,515 8,970 7Trank SOalline caught a shark nine eet long, near Perth Amboy, New Jersey, 'ast week.
