[Certrendenee of the Morning Poet.] FriOn WASIIINGTON. WASIIINGTON CITY, Mfkrph 19, 1858 This ii.ks been important week in Washing ton The Senate has had the Kansas bill under divcussion: and many able. speech - es have been made en both hides. The lion. John J. Critten- den made one of his greatest efforts in opposition to the bill providing for the admission of Kansas. His searching analysis, admitted talents, and 01.,quent delivery, together with his venerable age, gave great force to his remarks. This great eff•"rt of the Kentucky Senator made a profound impression do all parties, and will be read with deep interest all over the country. Mr. Toombs, of Georgia. matte one of his great speeches in r-ply to Mr. Crittenden, but ho was laboring under the influence ofa bad cold, and spoke with great difficulty His speech was unques tionably a master effort of a great mind. The House have had the Army bill under dis cussion, which was debated with earnestness and r.b , lity by Gen Quitman, Mr. Faulkner, Col. Curtis. Humphrey Marshall and others. The amendment offered by Mr Faulkner to increase ' he regular army was voted down, and the bill to raise five regiments of volunteers, as reported by Gen Quitman, was carried by a large vote this morning. Here now is a chance for our Penn eylvanians to show their patriotism, by tendering their services against the Mormons. After the passage of the Army bill, the House immediately went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, when the .übject of the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution was brought up. Mr. Montgomery, from the Washington district, in our State, obtained the floor,' and made one of the most powerful and convincing speeches yet made against tlio Lecompton Constitution. To give you an abstract of his masterly effort, would oily mar its matchless clearness, and weaken its extraordinary force. To be appre ciated, this great speech must be read, studied and reflected upon. For the space of an hour the House sat calm and motionless—not a move ment was made, not a murmur was heard. You could see the eager and enchanted auditory in the vast galleries, b aning forward to catch the mighty thought as it fell from the speaker's lips. Dtfferieg„ as I did, with the gentlemen in senti mete , I yet telt a glow of pride as I looked al and listened to the manly representative from tee Keystone State declaring with an eloquence Rod b.,t loess rarely.witnesled, the "reasons for, tfe Leith that was in him." There was such g c.:tubiusti on of p tl . po wee end intellectual eaine-e eben: the ❑ .e, a to win the admire n ',rd este e the wonder of every person I had ocard Mr. Montgomery when he _!elivered nis great speech on the neutrality itIV7S ;u: d, in curntmm with every body here, 1 tx peered a great sthrt from him, but he so far , urpassed himself, and all I thought he conk .in, that 1 was absolutely lost in wonder I have no hestitaucy in saying that he is the thinker and ablest debater that ever rep resented Piinnsylvania in Congress. The speech I.dl Iflit avalanche on the Northern Democrat, who support the Lecompton Constitution. I looked around amongst these gentleman where they sat, the very pictures of mortal fear—ap palled and confounded, when the eloquent de fender of the rights of the people told them to vote for the L-compton fraud, and then go home and face an outraged constituency. I have never hoard words fall with such awful and crushing ,sect Snen, in fact, was the effect of Mr. M.'. speech to day, that it is everywhere admitted coat the Lecompton Constitution cannot pass Gmgress, and now, even Southern men talk openly of compromise, and it is strongly ens prated that several Southern members will vote for Montgomery's bill. I am, as you aro wml aware, a fast friend of one President and sustain his policy but if Mr. ‘I can ca-ry throlighi li,e compromise it will ,•ompleioly harmonize tiro dissensions of th, )oratic party, and he will deserve the eter _I e , ...titude of every true friend of the country. On Monday next Senator Douglas will wind up , 0.-• debate in the Senate, and the effort is ex p..cted to be one of his greatest. [For the Morumg Post.J Tonnage Tax. Ma. Loma:— Ile repeal of the tonnage duty ei toe Pennsylvania, and Harrisburg and LaI:IOP.S -"Sr Railroads being a question now before our Sate Legislature it is desiiable that the sub ject—the operation and result of this tax—should be correctly understood in all its bearings. Many object to its repeal under the belief that the repealing it would be a gratuity and benefit eunferred on thobe railroad companies, and so much of a less, as its amount, - - to' the people of the State. This, hewever, is an entire mistake, except so far as its repeal might enable them to get more through trade and travel, coming from beyond the limits of the State, than they now can or do Those companies, under their respective charters, have the power and right to charge higher rates than they now do. Their charges on such through business twist and will, at all tunes, be regulated and determined by those of l i competing lines on the north and south of them. Consequently and inevitably, while those com pauies are contrmled by persons capable and dis posed to take care of and protect their interests, the whole of this tonnage tax, while it exists, is, must, and will have to be paid by the people of the St .te ; or, in other words, by the local trade and travel within it, with added charges for the trouble and expense of ascertaining its amount, and to make sure of having enough. Not only tliS is so, but also what may not have occurred. to many affected by it—that since the Pennsyl ;anis. Railroad Company has purchased and own he oafambia Railroad, as part of the Main Line, t is but natural that this company should, and it dues, charge a proportionate part of this ton nage tax on and to the local trade and travel, over the Columbia Railroad. So that th - people of all the counties through which this C.,li.mbia Railroad passes, and of all the counties of ties State through which railroads connecting Witt, it, directly or indirectly, from which trade ir.l travel conies or is sent, and which, in part, o s: es over the Columbia Railroad, as well as the P. nMilylvania. Railroad proper, in point of fact, pay a portion of the aggregate amount of this tonnage tax. The result, therefore, of this tax -0 tir as regards the interests of the people of tau State, being precisely similar to that of the policy of a man who gives one hundred dollars ut of one pocket to he enabled to put ninety dollars into another Pocket. In the nature of things, while it exists, those who control those roads, where they can, will— :aid, it must be conceded, they ought—make such charges as will indemnify them for this tax, and be a fair compensation for their capital, expense and risks. They cannot charge a proportion of tais tax on the trade and travel coming from without the limits of the State, for the reason that no such tax is charged on the competing routes on the north and south, and their charges must be regulated by'those of their rivals throngb other States ; and it necessarily t flows that they must, they will, and they dn, charge the whole of its aggregate amount on the local 'rade and travel within the State, with something added for the -xpense and trouble, &c , consequent on its ex istence. Bur, it is said by come, that if even this tax was repealed, those companies would still con Untie to charge no less than they now do, or otherwise would, on the local trade and travel within the State. Snob opinion, however, is•di reotly contrary to the ordinary course of human action. and to some extent must be founded on latent prejudice. Those who control those roads will, in the first place, charge whatthey consider a fair compeosation for their capital, expenses and risks, and at haat the whole amount of this tax, if not something more. And espeoially will they be likely to charge somewhat more, if they think tti:o tax ought not to be imposed on them. The question in reiiard to this tax ought notto be decided by any feeling of either friendship or hostility toward the comps-ies paying it, but solely with reference to what is the true interest of tho people of the State, and the trade and travel within it. COMMON SENSE. A Specimen of P allot Banking. We insert the following from the Philadel phia Ledger, without note or comment. The facq speak for themselves : " Quite a stir was created on Third street, yesterday afternoon, rdi the publ cation of the Evening Journal, containing a hugo• i pst - Of the debtors to the Bank of Pennsylvania. This list covers nearly out entire page of that paper, and nunders in all nine hundred and torty items of accounts—principally-notes matured and ma turing, and overdraits—of the aggregate value of millions. The appraised value of these ac counts compare with the aggrog• - •te"asa drop to the bucket, being so meagre in amount as to be hardly worth collection. Many of the parties named as debtors are known to be utterly worth- . less, and the estimate put upon their accounts of a cent to $lOO, is probably not under estima ted ; but there are other parties liable to the amount of thousands of dollars, who hold prop erty, and who are otherwise supposed to be able to pay, whose liabilities • aro appraised at some merely nominal sum, leading to the inference that the appraisers had some knowledge that the said indebtednees had been, or was to - be; liqui dated in some other way than by payment in money. .After the-fact -of . the known pecuniary worthlessness of same of the parties who had been permitted to become debtors to the Bank, the most remarkable thing is the immense amount of worthless stock securities received as-collat eral, namely—Camden and Atlantic Railroad bonds and shares, Ilempfield R. do:, Guano stock, Iron Company, Coal Company, Improve ment Company, mortgages on unproductive land, and, in fact, a good deal of almost everything worthless that has been on the market for the last ten years. The publication of the exhibit will, no doubt, be complained of by many par dons as an outrage on their feelings and an inexcusable exposure of private affairs. It is possible that some innocent parties may suffer from being found in suspicions company, and who are probably free from all indebtedness to the Bank. But good it is to be hoped will come from it, as showing how large a portion of the business of banking is loose and illigitimate. Much of that shown by this expose was wholly disconnected from such business pursuits as banks are established to foster ; so far from aid ing that which is proper and useful, almost its entire capital has gone to the moat worthless spec ulations before the country; to toe direct and positive prejudice of useful and productive in dustry. It is to . be hoped that the condition of the Bank of Peffneyivania may not be taken as a type of that of any of the other banks of our city ; ut if the character of the business of any of them re,embles it, the sooner they are b neli -d out of existence the better, and it would be well for the industry and real prosperity of the city, if their places should never be supplied by ethers. Banks, we have contended for years, all Things considered, do more harm than good to Practical business men. The prudent and solvent trader would be intiuttely better oft without them than with them The knave is the party most dvantaged, the banks too frequently aiding him to a. fioticious show of credit resembling the real, long enough to deceive and defraud the worthy. We will not, however, press this matter just now, out hope the Leg sleture will real the whole ex pose carefully over before granting any more ~ u nk criarters, or before the pending bills, im posnig restraints on the existing banks, are fi di.posed of. There is one thing, especial• ly, that shohld command attention at the hands the Legislature ; they should insist on open ing the books and business )1,1111 our banks to public scrutiny, precisely as the books and pa pers of the public offices are open to the inspeo -4100, at a small fee, ef every one feeling an inter est in the search.

NAnitow ESCAPE —W., team by the Ontonagan 4dvoeam of February 2filla, that 'two Frenchmen went out ou the Lake ice on the 23d to pear troute. Soon atter they discovered the ice was moving, and hastening for the shore found a grip of water iu their way. The wind was blowing frbsh from land, and they ,had no alter native but to stick to their ice ship. Fortunate ly an. Indian on shore discovered them ran some five miles to Ontonagan, and a boat pn out to the rescue. After considerable search the men were discovered and Liken off, but not until the gap between them and land had widened to three miles. The Indian N7.l' rewarded with a barrel of flour for hie act of humanity, to the white brothers LITTLE or no water found in the stomach of a drowned man, and when it is present it can in no way have contributed to death. The ex periments of Orifila and Mare have proved that water is never found in bodies eunmereed after death ; and that it cannot be made to enter the etomach without the assistence of a tribe passed into the gullet. This fact, and that of little or no water 'entering tho lungs, cannot be too widely propagated; as the popular prejudice is in favor of the opposite opinion ; and bodies taken out of the water ore still rolled on barrels, and held up by the heels, in order to dislodge it—a practice fraught with the greatest danger, if the smallest chance of resustieatioa exist.
