Railroad Statistic■ in Pennsylvanlc.
The receipt of a volume of nine hundred end
forty one pages, containing the "Annual Report
of the Railroad Commission of the State of New
York," has again brought to our mind—and this
time with increased force—the necessity of a
new department in the Government of this State,
in order that authentic statistics- of a vast in
terest in which Pennsylvania overtop all other
States, may be registered in one office and re
ported to the Legislature, thereby adding one
more to the existing series of useful -- and inter
esting " Exeoutive Documents."
There are in Pennsylvania MOTO MGM fifty Bail
road Companies, owning more than - two thotisand
five hundred miles of railroad open to traffm,
costing in the aggregate more than one hundred
and thirty millions of dollars t And yet or this
vast interest there is no compact record, - for some
of the companies do not even print their official
reports for the use of their own stookhglders I
And if the State, through the Logislatnre that
gave birth in acts of incorporation to the com
panies who control the enormous slims invested
in permanent railroad improvements, should; for
any purpose, desire to acquire accurate info:ma
tion of their coat, condition and operations, she
would find many obstacles to be overcome before
attaining her objeot ; while citizens of the State
and of other States ' who hold shares of stock
and certificates of loan in railroads within the
State, have no access to a public record, such :as
is kept in the State of New York and elsewhere ;
because, as we have said, no such reoord is pro
vided for by law in Pennsylvania.
On the first of January, the railroads in Penn
sylvania and New York thus compared :

Now York 2,884} 2,710 $133,791,824
Penasylvania..3,46l 2,780 135,724,809
It is observed that Pennsylvania leads New
York in number of miles and amount of cost,and
yet in Pennsylvania there is no official bureau
for the collection and registration of data show.
ing the progress of her railroads, while in New
York all this information can be compiled from
the series of volumes containing the annual re
port submitted to the Legislature.
This remissness on thepart of Pennsylvania--
a State so transcendent in her resources and pre
ponderant in her advantages—has e often amazed
intelligent non residents, if it has not actually
sometimes deterred them from venturing the in
vestment of their means within her limits; for
order and system are necessities in good govern
ment, and hence to govern wisely it is essential
to know the condition and transaction's of _the
governed, giving to everything attention and
leaving nothing to chaos. Consequently, if
every member of the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia, had in his desk, ready for reference, a
volume of reports from all the railroad compa
nies in Pennsylvania, classified by a competent
archivist or head of department of railroad ge
netics, he would be fortified with the means of
more intelligent legislative action, 'because-in
such case he would have within his reach faota
stated under oath, in lieuof oral representations
which sometimes are as evanescent as Is the
moisture in the breath that gives them utterance.
The assessed valuation of the real estate within
the 24 wards of the city of Philadelphia for 1858
is $147,752,152, a sum which, however _large in
itself, is scarcely more than the cost of the rail
roads and canals in Pennsylvania. Of the
valuation of real estate in all the counties of
the State, there aro records running far back
into years agone ; but of the valuation represent
ed by the iron ways of Pennsylvania including
their appurtenances, traffio,capital, debt, income,
eto., it remains for the Legislature to provide
that, hereafter, such a record shall be - kept:
Imagiats also the interest that would be elicited
by a tabulated statement of the tons carried over
the iron and water ways in Pennsylvania giv
ing the r roduot of 'Other States? Then trace the
Pennsylvania tons to their sources in the mines,
ore beds, and fields, whereiabor gives them value
and the imagination will expand over a genial
theme in the richness and greatness of the vista.
Rumored Reatguation of the Pope.
The London Court Journal has the following
paragraph:
A rumor has been afloat the last few days In Paris
of an anticipated change in the temporal government
of Rome, welch will create surprise in the minds of
every people in Europe. Some talk of the approach
ing abdication of the Popo as a certain thing, and
already has Father Ventura been spoken of us his
success..r. The nomination of the latter to Cardinal
ate, in preparation for this event, has frequently been
announced. As General of the powerful . Order of
Ignatius, Father Ventura's position would enable
him to accept the Papal Crown with probation.
Upon .he above our esteemed contemporary,
the Catholic Miscellany, has the following re
_
marks:
If the above piece of news be a fair sample
of the intelligence of those who write and read
the London Court Journal, we should like to
know in what courtiers and clowns differ as to
mental calibre. It is no exaggeration .to say,
that there is positively not one word• of truth in
the whole paragraph. But it is absuril as false.
Pius,LY. has no more thought of resigning now
than he had two years ago, when other court
„journals nailed Cardinal Wiseman as his certain
successor. •>
Father Ventura, on whoae shoulders, without
his . good leave, the succession is now thrown, so
far from being the General of the terrible Order
of Ignatius, is not even a nifimber - of the same.
He is a Theatine, and oven among his own re
ligious holds no rank of importance. Bat were
he even a Jesuit and General of that Order, in
stead of being Well fitted for the post 80 kindly
assigned him by newspaper gossip; he would be
eminently disqualified.for. it ; since the religious
vows of a Jesuit forbid him not only to askilre to
places of church dignity, but compel him to re
fuse them, when offered, under the severest pen
alties.
The paragraph of the Court Journal has found.
its way across the, Atlantic), and is, no doubt,
implicitly 'believed by thousands •amongst us,
who - Would refuse faith to a Catholio.miracle,
were it performed under -their very eyes.. But
childish credulity, as the experience of ages at
tests, is always the companion, if not the conse
quent; of • -unreasonable skepticism. In the
special matter of Rome and the Pope, there is
no figment so absurd, no story so preposterous,
that will not obtain credence, if it only minister
to popular prejudice: Did any correspondent of
one of our religious or political journals think
fit to hoax his readers by solemnly assuring them
that. the Pope never walks within the precincts
of his palace, but is compelled by . the Canon law
to creep about en all fOura; or that, 'whenever
he 'rides out, his chariot is drawn by live Gatti
chins and three Sesuits; or that on his coronation
day he is obliged, by hereditary court etiquette,
to slaughter and eat a Protestant baby for
breakfast---how many are thereof our 't enlight
ened reading public," who would not swallow
such tales without the least !suspicion/ We
could almost stake life or limb on the chance
that nine out of every ten readers Would believe
them as devoutly as they do the epeeist points of
their sectarian creed. -.
