After a protracted and bitter discussion,
the City Councils have at length passed an
ordinance under which the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company will
he allowed to build their track across Penn
street; We hope the Company will accept
the terms, and that the connection with the
Pennsylvania Railroad may be made as speed
ily as possible.
THIS REPEAL OF TOR., TON NAGE TAN.
The rePeal of this ill judged and impolitic
burthen upon the prosperity of the trade and
commerce of our State, is attracting a large
share of the attention of the soundest minds
among the business community. Our own
Board of Trsde have given the subject some
attention,4i.nd more recently, we observe that
the City Councils of Philadelphia have, by a
unanimouS vote adopted essineuiorial asking
the Legislature to repeal this heavy drawback
upon the commercial prosperity of Pennsyls
vania, the enforcement of which results directly
and inevitably in favor of the two great
Railroad Routes north and south of us. This
niemorial 'is one of the most carefully drawn
find* admirably argued papers we have ever
read, and conclusions are incontrovertible.
We do not know who may have been its au
thor, but whoever he is, he exhibits n .t only
a most thorough knowledge of political econo
my, but a most patriotic advocacy of the
gfeat interests.of the people of the State of
Pennsylvania.' The history of this tonnage tax
or duty, is briefly as follow.; : —At the time the
chiirter was granted to the Pennsylvania Rails
road, it was supposed that it would come in
serious cotnpetition with the Main Line of the
Public Works, which the State then owned, and
the Legislature levied a toll or duty on the ton
nage of the road of five mills per mile upon
each ton of two thousand pounds carried
during the season of canal naviotion." This
was subsequently changed to " three mills for
all freight carried throughout the entire year."
With the history of the opposition to the
opening of a through route in Pennsylvania,
most of our readers are familiar. The design
to connect Baltimore with the Ohio River by
the consummation of a route through Pennsyl
vania is well remembered. Apparently the
tax was imposed out of solicitueke for the finans
ces of the State, but really to defeat the pro
ject 'altogether. The scheme 'of the foreign
company, tailed however, and the company
accepted the charter as it was, and the
people unaided by the funds of the State,
proceeded to build the Road Its necessity
was obvious•to those most deeply interested in.
the commerce, trade and prosperity of the
State, and the imposition of this tax upon its
business was most impolitic at the beginning,
founded upon a misapprehension of facts and
failing of its professed object. The feneo
f argument of the memorial above alluded to,
s the result of plain common sense experience.
It is, that trade and commerce among the
States of the Union, in order to be prosperous
must b.r free, and_ that its freedom may be as
effectually impaired by a duty on the tonnage
passing from one State to another as by any
other Means. This is especially true at a
time - whencheapness of transit, under the
fierce rivalry of competing routes, is controll
ing the selection of avenues to our eastern
markets, and increasing the tonnage upon
those lines over which it is carried at the least
cost. In view of this fact, it is obvious that to
preserve and enlarge the business of l'eunsyl
vania improvements, the price of transporta
tion must be reduced to the minimum of charge
on all' competing routes beyond our borders.
To effect this end, the cost of transporting to
the parties who do the carrying must first be
diminished, before it can be cheapened to the
shippers of freight. Hence, all taxes levied
by a State upon its highways, for revenue ea
other Wise, decrease their tonnage by increasing
the expense of conveyance, and therefore,
wise public policy requires that all such bur
dens should be removed."
No sound political economist can dissent
froth these propositions. Pennsylvania acted
in accordance with them when sb resolved to
construct her ?lain Line of Public Works to
preveht her trade from being diver led to other
and adjoining States, and when owing to the
better working capacity and cheapness of
carriage afforded by our rivals,New York and
Maryland, trade was rapidly leaving Pennsyl
vania, the people, to check this tendency,cons
strcted the Pennsylvania Railroad. and this
road! is now trammelled in its Oruro at com
petition'with its formidable rivals, both North
and South, by the imposition of this charge
made by the State upon its business It is not
our purpose now to argue the question of what,
would have been the result, had the State
retained the Main Line, for that does not nec
essarily enter into the inquiry regarding the
repeal of the tonnage tax. In the struggle
between our highways, and those of our
neighbors, cheapres transportation is th
ruling condition upotihich the issue must
turn. In order to successfully compete with
her rivals, the Pennsylvania Road must be
placed in such a position as to oiler to the
public as low a freight taritl as they, and
this, it is obvious, they cannot do as long
as their tonnage is taxed by the State. The
State of New York imposed a similar tax
upon the New York Central Railway as a pro
tective tariff in favor of the Erie Canal, but
years ago, in 1851, it was repealed. At that
titmf the question was most fully investigated,
and the folly of building costly improvements
to cheapen t?anaportation, and at the same
time:render it dear by a duty upon tonnage.
most satisfactorily demonstrated. The ques
tion of competition in New York was a much
stronger one than that in Pennsylvania, and
if the arguments and the result in the former
case are of any value, they should certainly
avail to effect a similar result in the case of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
We have this morning briefly touched upon
some of the reasons adduced in the memorial of
the city of Philadelphia to show that it is the
obvious policy of the State to repeal this tax,and
protect her commerce from powerful foreign
competition. We shall resume the subject again
and speak of such facts as go to prove that as
a matter of revenue the policy is not a good
one, and after Ell is a tax upon the consumer,
for which he does not receive a corresponding
equivalent. Relieved of the duty, the Rail
road would at once reduce its tariff of freights
proportionately, and the benefit would inure
not to the road,bat to those who use the road,
and purchase the merchandize which is cars
ried upon it. This we shall endeavor to show,
and meantime we hope our business men and
the City Councils will give their attention
. to
the - subject, and give their views to the Legis.
lature as Philadelphia has done.
If Mr. Spoocer's motion leads to inquiry
and wholesale reform it will be well, but there

Mexico, unconnected with the church.
The origin of President Comonfort was such
that he would scarcely be popular in a country
like Mexico. He was born at Puebla, his father
a . Englishman, his mother a Spanish lady. He
has been liberally educated, and has traveled
extensively both in the United States and Eu
rope. Ile has fair hair, a light complexion
and blue eyes--marks of his Anglo Saxon
origin. His views were enlarged and . deriios
cratic, and he would have in some measure re
generated his distracted and decaying coun
try, had he not been too far in advance of the
popular opinion of the times in Mexico.
It seems probable from the tenor of the
little reliable news we have, that Santa Anna
will again return to the Mexican dictation. He
is supposed to be supported by the Mexican
clergy, and the influence of the Spanish mon
arch ; but this is not verified. How long he
will be able to maintain his position, even if
he obtains it, it is impossible to say. A great
variety of discordant elements are at work in
the country. The influence of emigration
from the United States is making itself felt,
and there are many of the people not disposed
to submit to Santa Anna's disposition for ar
bitrary sway. American influence surrounds
the country on every side, and will eventually
make itself felt in Mexico.
in speaking of the recent affairs in Mex
ico, the Washington Union of Saturday last
sayB :
" The ohief characteristic of Mexican revolu
tions is their innocent blood. We believe the
tiring of musketry and cannon on either side in
this last conflict that came off in the streets of
the Mexican capital, lasted eleven days ; and yet!
it is said that the number of killed and wounded!
fell short of fifty in the grand total. A litr c
ante-prandial affair of eleven minutes iu our
American cities between a few plugugly election
rioters and a squad of soldiers will result in full as
much damage,although the contest be not for the
government of a whole confederacy, but merely
tor the Possession of the polls of a single ward.
Notwithstanding, however, the absence of any!
carnal damage to the one side or the other in
this protracted conflict in the city of Mexico, it
seems that one of the parties militant was com
pletely victorious at the expense of the other's
utter annihilation. A satisfactory explanation of
tee paradox, is to he found in the fact, that one
;,f the contending armies, instead of being de
melish ed simply changedsides. The inducements
which impelled it to this step admit of every
clear explanation. The Comonfort government
had uu money ; the reactionist party of, pe
church and clergy, subsidized 'rem its abundant
coffers, had the sinews of war. Hence the tri
umph of Zuloaga and the flight of Comonfort.
There now appears to be twe governments in
full operation in Mexico—the revolutionary gov
ernment headed by Zuloaga in the city of Mexi
co, which is seconded and subsidized by the cler
•; and the constitutional government beaded
by Chief Justice Juarez, who has raised the con
-1 stitutional standard in the ancient city of Gun
mijunato, where he has called the constitutional
Cougreiis together, and who is supported by the
lib e rals and enjoy the sympathy of the provincial
.. uirsoo."

The, question of the legal liability of mu
nicipal corporations for the payment of the
coupons for interest on bonds issued to Rail
road Companies for the purchase of stock,
is like to be judicie:lly settled at an early day.
The suit of Ellmaker vs. The County of Alle'
gheny, which will be tried before the Supreme
Court at Philadelphia, during tha next mon'h
will probably result in decisions as to the legal
liability of the county. In the Legislature
also it seems probable that some action will be
taken upon this much vexed question. Mr.
'Varney, of ‘Vesttnoreland, has Introduced a bill
to compel the counties of Lawrence and Butler
to pay the interest upon bonds which, they
issued some years ago to the North Western
Railroad. It provides that either individual
stockholders or the corporation shall have a
right to sue them in any county in the corn' ,
monwealth,and empower the courts to perform
the requisite duties in that behalf. This bill
will undoubtedly be strongly opposed, and in
our opinion it should be. The laws already
exist under which the contracts were origi.
nally made, and until the Court of last resorts
Ills given its decision, we think the Legisla
ture may as well let the matter rest where it is.

• 'Amber.
Oas of the most beautiful as well as least un
derstood arts, iS that in which amber forms the
material which is worked. The Prussian (1)v
-erument is said to draw an annual revenue of
17,000 dollars from amber. A good piece of
e pound weight, brings fifty dollars. A times '
weighing thirteen pounds, was picked up, some
time since, in Prussia, for which 5,000 dollars
were offered, and which, in Cunstantinopke „ , would
have brought from 30,000 to 40,000 dollars. At
one time it was customary to bake the opaque
pieces of amber in sand, at a gentle heat, for
several hours, in order to make it transparent,
or to digest it in hot oppeseed oil, with the same
view. When amber is to be trinkets, it is first
split on a leaden plate at a lathe, and then
smoothed into shape on a Swedish whetstone. it
is polished on the lathe, with chalk and water
or vegetable oil, and finished by friction with
flannel. In these processes the amber is apt to
become highly electrical, very hot, and even fly
into fragments. Hence the artist works the
Aieces time about, so as to keep each of them
cool and feebly excited. The operators are
often seized with nervous tremors in their wrists
and arms from the electricity. Solid specimens
of amber, represented to have been altogether
fused by a particular applicatirba of heat, are nriw
shown in the royal cabinet of Dresden.

WASHINGTON CITY, February 22.—Rumors were
current yest,rday that a hostile meeting had taken
place between Messrs. Clay and Cullom, resulting in
a fatal wmind to the latter. It is, however, believed
that up to the present time there has been no meet
ing. Both of the parties aro absent, and their friends
are eagerly endeavoring to adjust the affair. The
anticipated hostile affairs between Harney and Sum
ner, and A. C. Rhind and Commander Boutwell are
as yet undeveloped.
The Navy Department t as received advises from
Commander Page, of the United States ship German
town, dated Bombay, January 9th. He learned from
the American Consul, Dr. Ely, that our commer dal
affairs were in a happy condition in all respects. 'rho
latter expressed,himsell much gratified at the appear
ance of one of our national vessels there after an
interval of fifteen years. Our trade there is large,
and at that time there were about fifteen ships l•.uad-
ing and discharging. Commander Page had been
visited by senior Capt. Ituauta, of the Muscat navy,
who was superintending the building of a frigate for
his government. The revolt in India was nearly at
an end; that is, Commander Page believes the fight
ing over. The English will, nevertheless, be C,LII
- to keep a large force in India. She has how
about sixty thousand troops in the different parts e!
the country. He visited the authorities in Bombay,
and met with every national and personal courtesy.
Senator Davis is still confined to his house with
serious illness ; he shows symptoms of little improve

Mr. Seward is among those expected to speak on
the Kansas question, which, it is supposed, will be
taken up on Wednesday or Thursday.
Ex-Lieut. Rhind, who was on Friday required to
give security not to fight a duel, was this morning
arrested under the third section of the anti dueling
act, for posting Commander Boutwell as a liar and a
coward.

All efforts to reconcile the difficulty Qweon
Messrs. Clay and Cullom have proved abortive. They
left Washington this afternoon at five o'clock, accent.

a place about thirty miles distant. The probability
is that they will fight to morrow morning. Much
excitement exists throughout the city regarding the
affair.
Lieutenants Bell and Williams have not, as re

duel is pending.
Correction.
ST. Louis, February 22 —ln alga confusion and
excitement, last Saturday, some errors crept into the
telegraphic account of the burning of the Pacific
Hotel.
The loss of life was not so great as then stated.
The names of those positively known to be among
the dead, are as follows :—Henry H. Rochester and
Thomas H. Strong, of Rochester, H. M. Gregg,
Charles Davis, William Cunningham, George A.
Crane, Evans J. Watkins, Mr. Johnston, of Michi

is missing and supposed to be dead. The bodies of
Bruce M'Nutt, Burkhart Weist, Paul Sterrill, Wm.
Taylor, J. Wagner and Dr. Lord, of Cincinnati,
have been found. Other bodies have been taken
out of the ruins soburned that they cannot bereeog

Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, of Boston, the latter fatally;
Elisha Hays, Wm. W. Torrence, Jas. F. Geary, Wu:.
Turner, Mr. Sharpe, and Mrs. Jonathan Junes.
Several committees of citizens were formed yes

the wants of the destitute, furnish attendance to the
wounded, and provide for the funeral obsequies at
the dead.
The funeral of those not identified, or taken charge
of by their friends, will take pines on Wednesday

and succeeded in realizing his wishes. His child was cured,
and is now alive and well. He has since administered the
wonderful remedy to thousands . f sufferers in all parts of
the world, and ha has never failed in making them com
pletely healthy and happy. Wishing to do as much good: a,

g SOAP, manufactured by It. C.. 4 J. 11. Sawyer, le
receives the preference over all other kinds ever uffertil ts
family use.
Its advantages over other Soaps are:—let. It Is cheaper
to use, one pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 2d. Half the time need only be occupied in washing
when this Soap is used in place of other Soap. ad Le.b..r
in washing can be nearly dispensed with, as the clothes
will require little if any rubbing, thus avoiding their wear
on the washboard. 4th. IR:sling the clothes is unnecessary
when this Soap is used, and hard or salt water answer,.
equally as well as soft. sth. Printers, Machinists, Paint.ire
and others, find it far superior to other Soaps. It 'moodily re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink and dirt from the
hands, leaving the skin soft, and free from chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of
the wash-board, the following directions should be followed :
For the washing of eight or ten of a family, take one
pound of Soap, cut .it into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about tea gallons of warm water; pour in the dissolved
and stir thoroughly. Let them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water once, cold
water twice. A very dirty wrist-band, or seam, or grease
spots, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the
clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing or
boiling. Cold water may be used In place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
