The proposition introduced into tb.( York Serrate to levy toile upon the trauNi orte Lion over the greet eat ansi 'ke•At of roads in that State tadeeonticed by the loading papers of that State as equally iuconeiatent with sound principles, and with wise policy." The proptised)utpcist is precisely ,4ttilikr in it-' nature and effects to the Tioinag, tax upon the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the. argttin..lo,, which ,would apply agailot th.• Ni.tv York actruent would operate with equal force in favor of rope,al in our own State. The New York Evening Post in speaking of this (pies% tiun says : " A special tax on any one kind of business is unjust in itself. A special tax on transport tation,and indirectly on travel, is the most op pressive--next, to a tax tin light and knowl edge—which the human wit has ever devised. "The right of way," said one of the wisest statesmen New York ever produced, ' ie the right of the million : the sovereign hoick it in trust, and can exercise it only for flit it benefit. end has no right to make revenue out of it." For the state of New York, the itajustice sod oppression of such a tax is only exceeded by its impolicy. The natural advantages of this city and State, if not. destroyed by legislation, will make it the merchant, the carrier and the banker of the New World. The geographical position of this city in referenc.• t o th e eurrenta which affect navigation -the mag nificent advantages of its harbor --the II ud eon, with its hundred and fifty mile.- of the best river navigation in the world the pass br plain from Albany to Butialo by which the continuous range of the Alleghenies, from the Great Lake= to the Mexican Gull, is cloven down almost to a level, anti through which the head navigation of the liutison iy connected, by canal ,and by railroad, with a thousand miles of Lake navigation, alotost as cheap at that of the •ocean these are cir canuttauces which mak- our destiny. Are we to impost special tax on trans portation through that pass ? Are we to a discrimination duty on the natural advan tages which constitute the prosperity and greatnessof the city and State of New York ?" The same course of reasoning toutaiss nrt•- tandis will apply in favor of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax upon the transportaion over the Pennsylvania Railroad. The object to be gained iu New York is .the repair of the Erie ()anal —a design similar in its native to that which originated the Pennsylvania Tonnage Tax. This is a hurthen which it is not right to impose upon the great interests of trade and transportation. The Post. sums up its arg.o meut as follows :—lf the Erie Canal is to t repaired, 1. Let the money to do it be got honestly 2. Let its expenditure be strictly confined t the object of making the Erie Canal a good navigation ; And, above all, let the State preserve it, private interest 1.3 that work, by making it work better, and not by making rival , : i n th state worse, and giving rivals out of the stat^ an advantage over both, thus practically using its sovereignty to divert transport and trade from our state and city. This kind of regard for the interests railroad in our sister States, which are con fessedly the rivals of our own great wad, will have great weight with our legislators, in forming their opinions and shaping their at:- , Lions upon the bill now before them, for ilia repeal of the Tonnage Tax.

As the facts of the case may not be known to all of our readers, we will recall them The fugitive slave law, as passed in 1850, is, as all will concede, the law of the land. Even those who question its policy or righteousness admit this. Judge Loring, under this law, was called upon to remand a slave to bondage. lu obed'enee to his oath of office,he sent the slave back. For this he became obnoxious to a majority of the people of Nl,ssachusetts, and has finally, as we have seen, been thus re , .. I moved. IliCelll MARCH 2u, 1658 In order to form a just estimate of this re• moval, we must remember what the office of It judge is. It is not legislative. Ile has, for example, neither the right to make laws, nor even the right to pronounce on their wisdom or i policy. It is not executive. Ile cannel en force the lawsas a sheriff can, by calling out ' the posse comitaius. - His business is either to interpret the laws, that is, to decide, when they are obscure, what they mean, or to admin ister them, that is, to pronounce, in doubtful cases, when certain facts come within the scope of the laws. Under the fugitive slave law, the latter is the principal c apacity in which a United States Commissioner acts : and Judge Loring was United States Commis- In doing what made him so unpopu• lar, and what has finally caused his removal,he merely performed what was an imperative duty, and I r neglecting to do which he would have violated his oath of office and so perjured himself. The practical effect of this removal is to in timidate judges from the honest performance of their duty. It is to make them amenable to the politics, the factious, the phrenzies of the day; to substitute popular opinion forju dicial integrity. it, in every State, or in ev , cry district, the prejudices of the hour are to take the place of sound legal learning and hon est jurisprudence, there soon will be an end of justice. We might as well abolish Courts at once. The moment the bench becomes the tool of party, that moment it ceases to answer the end for which it was instituted.

Ftgtiling the Tiger Some years ago, I was in a gambling-tionse n Cincinnati, a silent looker-on at a game of faro. In those days, such operations were carried on rather openly, and almost under the eyes of the authorities, with unbarred doors, so that any one could walk in, either in the capacity of a better or of a spectator. In the latter capacity I found myself, near mid night. when the door of the den opened. Just as the game began to flag, and riA a sound was heard but the click of the checks, and the rattle of some dishes a darkey was placing on a table, in walked a tall, rawboned, country. looking chap, in a grayisatinet coat and a coon skin cap. He walked right up to the only vacant place at the table, and, drawing from a side-pocket alenormous calfskin wallet, which looked ast, might contain at least a thousand, in fives and tens, addressed the dealer : "Look here, mister, I'm going to Eight this here tiger up to the nines ! Understand me, 1 alters tight to the death—that is,till I break you or you break me." "Very good," said the dealer, •'you are one of the kind we like to deal for." And hi, eyes fairly danced at the certainty of deplet ing the pletlaoric , ,looking pocket-book. I;ut, undirstand we," continued the rough customer. "there is one thing you must first agree to ; and that is, II you break me, you must give me money enough to carry me home. "I'll do it," said the "leg." ~You all on you hear, gentlemen," S id ••rough," •` that 1 have the word of an hon•, °ruble sporting man, that if he wins all the money in this yere pocket book, he gives -me money enough to cagy me home." "Yes ! yes I y-s ! responded the entire party. Her•' the darhey announced supper, and the keeper of "the tiger" announced a recess for halt an hour. crowd went into the wood things prepared, and 'rough" was not a whit behind the rest. lle dived into the yen - ison, the oyster pie, and tto "chicken hues," until he conld eat no more with any degre • of safety to himself—not forgetting to wo , h down th • whole with liberal potations of brandy. If.efreoliment over, labor bade fair to coin- mence in right down earnest. The dealer took oil his cent, rolled up his sleeves, and seated himself. Rough" squared himself at the ta ble, and again drew the ponderous wallet. All eyes were now turned up .n him: for spec tators, patrons of the establishment, and oven hankers themselves looked for a tall game, "Rough" drew from one of the pockets of the wallet a greasy and rather suspicious•looking five dollar bill, and called for the worth of it in chips. After scrutinising it a moment, the dealer tossed it into his drawer, and passed over a stack of ten chips to "rough." tie next gave the cards sundry scientific " flirts," placed them in the box, and_announced " All ready I" "Rough" placed his ten chips on the ace, and the deal went on, Some eight or ten cards were drawn out, when an ace came to view on the top of the box, and the dealer immediately put ten more chips on top of "rough's" pile. "Rough" let thetwen. ty chips lay upon the ace, and it was not long before another one made its appearance, but this time it fell by the side of the box, 'and the dealer "raked down" the entire pile. lie then waited a few moments in expectation that "rough" would open the pocket•boAt again, but that individual continued resting his chin on the palm of his hand, and gazing abstractedly on the ace. "Well," said the "leg," "ain't you going to bet any more ?" "Nary red—l'm broke—fiat!" said "rough." The "leg" laid back in his chair, and in a tone of the most profound astonishment said "the deuce you are ! And I pledged myself to give you money enough to carry you home, in case y ,u got broke !" "You did that same, old boss." "Where do you live ?" ''At Brownsville, up the river." " W hat will it cost to take you there' "At the present stage of water, 1 think 1 can get up for about fourteen dollars." Such a shout as. went up at this juncture was never before heard within the wall of a faro room, while; with great good humor the "leg" counted rout the fourteen dollars. "My friend," said he to "rough," "it is not every day one meets a patron like you. Go and help yourself to another drink of brandy, and a cigar. Whenever you come to town again, give us a call. Call often—you will find the latchstring out. I wish you a safe journey. Give my respects to your wife and the children. By, bye ! "Rough" don't shrink one iota from this raillery, but took the proffereddrink and cigar. "I say," said he, as he hald the door ajar, "I wish you better luck with the next green...look. ing customer that comes along; but before you make such a bargain with him, jest ascer tain where he lives, and the size of his pile .'" And so saying, he disappeared amid the guf faws of the crowd, in which the dealer him self heartly joined.—Philadelphia Sunday Dis patch.

The Senate then went into Executive Session with out coming tc a vote. HOUSE OF 13.6'PHESENTATIVES Mr. Stephens proposed an early day for the con sideration of the Senate Kansas bill, for he thought it was best to haye an understanding, so that niihody would be taken by surprise. Mr. Campbell said that the House had been debat ing upon questions involved fur nine years and nearly all this session. The Kansas question blocks up the public as well as private, and he was therefore ready to meet any question to day or to-marrow, with or without any further debate. He thought it due to the interests of the country that the House should come to a vote. He suggested that by common con sent, they agree to take up the bill to morrow. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, objected, on the ground that the house was unusually this ; when there was a full attendance, they could agree to do so by com mon consent. Mr. Stephens having been asked by several to in diorite the day, named next Tuesday week. Mr. Campbell suggested next Tuesday. Mr. Stephens thought that too short a time Mr. Campbell said that the House baying agrecd ou the first Monday of Juno for adjournment, it would be imp - ssible to get through the public busi. nose by that time, unless the earliest possible day he fixed for the vote on the Kansas bill. Mr. Montgomery had no doubt th , st if the matter was not now pressed an arrangement might be made satisfactory to all pasties. Mr. Stephens withdrew his suggestion f..: the present, in the belief that such an agreement could he made. When the day is fired he would an ri,unce it. The House went into Committee on the Deficiency Appropriation bill. Mr. Grow spoke of the injustice and oppression of the attempt to force on the people of Kansas a Con stitution against which they bad protested in the most solemn f rms. The people were lulled into se curity by executive promises that the Constitution should he submitted; but they were betrayed by fraud and violence, and now the last act in the drama is sought to be consummated. Mr. Grow believe.' with Jefferson that resistance to tyranny is obedience to God. Those who submit to usurpation are worthy to be slaves. ,While an attempt is made to force iin Kansas an odious despotism and propagate human bondage, there can be no peace in Kansas. Mr. Reilly maintained the le (ality of the proceed. lap attending the formation of the Lecotnpton Con stitution. Be knew not what his fate would be t. r voting for the Kansas bill, but if his crin,itiw e ,,, 4 think he has done wrong, they have the ri4itt to sell I some other to take his place. Mr. Stephens announced that he will onAhorsda nest, at one o'clock, move to take up tlloS Senat kaums bill. Mr Davis, of Indiana, inquired by whom the ar rangement was made. Mr. Campbell explained, saying that variou4 gtn tleuieti had been consulted Mr. Grow , aid he had nu objacti..n to Mr. Stephens making the motion ' • that was so fir as he, Mr. Grow, and Ilia friends could go to-day. If all oonnent, on Thursday the bill can be then taken up. Mr. Stephens said that Mr. Grow correctly under stood the matter. No motion was to be made until Thursday. He designed nothing more than to move , on Thursday next, to take the bill from the Speaker's table. Mr DealE, of Indiana, sA..i LIII, was satiefeetory to biui and those with when he Mr. Montgomery wished tx know whether Mr. Stephens w old movp to take up the bill wordy diseusion, or put it on its passage Mr. Stephens replied that he intended to move the previous .juestion. If a majority wanted debate, they could vote down the motion. Mr. Campbell said if the latter agreed to the toll it would be open fur amendment or discussion at the pleasure of the House. He as tired the gentleman that neither he nor Mr. Stephens desired to take ad. vantage on either side. This arrangement seemed to be perfectly understood. Mr. Vashburne, of Illinois, protested in the name of thirty thousand of his constituents, against con aummatng what they considered the crime of forcing slavery upon the people of Kansas against their ex pressed will, by means of the Lecompton Constitu tion. Speethea were made by Messrs. Davis, of Indiana, Dean and Covode who argued against, and Mr. Boyce Rho argued for Lecompton. During the speaking in the House in the evening, nearlyall the seats wore deserted, and when the ad journuent took place, at nine tiplock, only three members were preterit. Western Emigration. ST.

Ho ascertained that John Miller, late Postmaster of Philadelphia, was the person implicated in the charge; and subsequently, in conversed m with Mil ler, he informed him that after the purchase was effected, Allibone, the President of the Bank, gave him what he censiderod himself entitled to for ser vices rendered in perfecting the 'ale. Mr. Campbell said that until recently he knew of nobody connected with the Post Office Department thus participating in the transaction. Thomas Allibone was examined, who said that after the properly had been offered to the ov ern - men t, Sfilter, by the instruction of the Postmaster dieneral, called on him as to the price, and was in formed. in response to his inquiry, that $250,000 wa. the ]„west num , without any commission. That am- unt was paid by a government check. Miller of terwards asked Mr. Allibone, to give him what his services wore worth, and ho, himself, suggested $25,- 000. Mr. Allibone gave him a cheek fir $B,OOO and another for $13,000. There was no previous agree ment. korom Mexico NEW ORLEANS, March 25 —The Tennessee, with Vera Cruz dates to the 21st, and from the city of Mexico to the 16th, has arrived.
