THE TONNAGE TAX QUIiISTION.
To the Editor of the Norning Post: An edito
rial in your paper of this morning, headed "The
Tonnage Tat and the Pittsburgh Board of
Trade," charges that the institution known as
the Pittsburgh Board of Trade have certainly
taken a strange position on the question of this
impost on the trade of Pennsylvania, and is
taking still more strange measures to influence
the action of the Legislature upon the question
In your haste to further the bad policy of the
Pennsylvani"a Railroad Company towards the cit
izens of Pennsylvania, you denounce the Board
of Trade as the author of a prbceeding which
it, entirely disapproves. It was the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and not the Board of Trade.
which procured the proposed informal session of
the Senate for the hearing of these " borers," as
you call them, before thp members of thatbody.
These borers even went so far as to demand to
be heard, without giving notice to the citizens of
Pittsburgh or any other parties of the adverse
interest
The informal sest•ion is, as you truly term it,
a "strange proceeding,' and the authors of it
deserve Censure; but wbat measure of condem-
nation will you apply to those who sought to de
grade the stated deliberations of the Senate by
making it the forum for the purchased pleadings
of a great corporation asking to enlarge it 4
ready enormous privileges.
The Pittsburgh Board of Trade took the FaTILA
view as you appear dispo3'ed to do, and had do
t.rinined, instead of being represented by com
mittee acd counsel, as advised by our Senator, at
this informal session, simply to protest ".agaiust
this strange proceeding in legislation." This
:also appears to have been' the view taken by our
City Councils, whO, unlike the city of Philadel
phia and the railroad company, refuse to pay
"borers," simply asking our representatives to
us© their influence and their votes against the
repeal—and this was done without a dissenting
voice.
I regret that your prejudices should have led
you wrong in this matter; and pardon me for
saying that it would be a better occupation for
yourself and other advocates of the policy of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to endeavor
to 'answer or refute the arguments of the Report
of the Board of Trade, which hitherto has not
been done. Respectfully,
WM. 11 WILLIAMS,
President. Board of r sratle.
PITTSBURGII, March :10, 1858.
—We are_ willing to suppose thatour cor
reSpondent \ did not wilfullpirelfspprehend our
editorial remarks, and give him an.opportu-
nity to have his say with the simple remark
that we did not " dononnce the Board o
Trade as the author of a I,lceedifig which
it - entirely disapproves," toffy ; the proposed
informal meeting of the lgisiatnre. We did
not attribute this meas re to the Board of
Trade, and our remarks will not bear tint
construction. We objected to their appeal to
Councils to send an '-`eloquent champion,"
and " abler advocatgs,o et the public cost.
4
The Councils sustained ur views and refused
to expend the public m ey,.
or even to Bend a
committee to the proposed unusual legislative
meeting. The discussion in the Select Ccuncil
also convinced us that the popular represen
tatives of the city were perfectly aware that
there - are two sides to this question. All the
arguments apinst the repo{ of the Tonnage
Tax, which we deem a special tox—undemo
cratic and injurious Is, the general interest ,
f the Commonwealth, appear to be founde
upon a supposed iinnett , scary discrimination
in freights by the Railroad company against
freights'to this city. The Tonnage Tax is not'
claimed to be right per se and those who op
pose its repeal now would advocate the re
peal if it were not for this discrimination. A
member of the . Select Connell said in place
that if it were not for these dissiiminations,
he would advocate the repeal of the Tonnage
Tax. This is an admission that the tax of it.
self is wrong. But another wrong, it is al
leged; exists in this dlscritninat . on, arni the op
ponents of the repeal of the Tonnage Tax here
have placed th mselves in the position of wish..
Mg to make conditions before ceasing to ops
pose the repeal of an impost which no argil..
pent can convince us is right. We are not as
our correspondent insinuates, the advocate of
the policy of any Railroad company. We look
upon this matter of the repeal of the Tonnage
Tax as a question of general public commer
cial interest to the whole State of ['eulogy's
vania. We say the Tonnage Tax is an unjust
tax, an unequal tax, an injurious tax, and
ought to be repealed. The general public
good requires its repeal. Bat the Board o
Trade object to certain alleged freight dis
* !riminations, and hence they object tn the re
peal of an impat which ri syst©m of pol
al economy can show to he p. litic or just or
equalale.
This is about the sum nod substance of the
Board of Trade's arguments. They do not
ltke one,,thing, and with most commendable
wisdom They oppose another. They are acts
ing like the boy, who could not lick his fellow,
but gloried in the fact that he " could make'
mouths at his sister."
' The worthy President of the Board of Trade,
Mr. Williams, is an old and honorable mer
chant, and we have no doubt he is perfectly
sincere in his opposition to th:_s repeal. What
he calls "our prejudices" are so strongly sus
taintd by the sample rules of Tmlicy and econ
omy in regard to great pablid works, not only
in our own, but our sister States, that we
cannot think we are in the wrong.
The proCeedings of Councils, on Monday
night, were a disappointment to the oppo
nents of the-repeal of the tax, and the Board
of Trade have
,signally failed to excite the
feeling of the masses of the people upon th,3ir
side of the question. The people cannot see
how leaving the Tonnage Tax as it is,can make
any difference in regard to freight discrimina,
tion, but they can see that its continuance
does and will give an unfair advantage to the
great rival routes, north and south of us, to
the injury of the interests of our own State.

—Chas. Watson, a Scotch school tracher, find
ing his health injured by the confined it'r of :he

ventilation. It is entirely simple, and is hosed
on the fact that if two tubes of unequal length
be admitted into a room, the cool air will enter
the shortest and the warm air will be expelled
through the longest. Mr. Watson's. appplioa

THE TONNAGE TAX-LETTER FROM
J. EDGAR THOMSON. ESQ.
Below we reproduce from the Commercial
Journal, a letter addressed to the editor of
that paper, by the President of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company, upon the question of
repealing the tonnage tax. It is brief and to
the point, and places the Board of Trade re.
port in its true light. We commend its pern- 4
sal toc'ottr business men :
PHILADELPHIA, March 25, 1858
To M. laddle, Esq , Editor, s - c :
DEAR SIB.:—I notice in your Journal of the
22d inst. that you have undertaken to prove the
fallacy of the arguments contained in the Report
of the Board of Trade of your city, in relation
to the alleged discriminations made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company against Pittsburgh
If I thought that the gentlemen who signed
that singular document, endorsed the views it
sets forth as their individual convictions, or
acted upon them in their private business trans
actions, it might be worth while to reason with
them upon the subject, but I should bo sorry.to
place such an estimate upon their commercial
intelligence.
The reputed writer of this report, a few years
since, when canals were in fashion,-attempted to
convince the Legislature that if they would ap
propriate sufficient means to alter the shape of
the bottom of the canal locks, they would save
a vast deal of water and keep the canal in navi
gable order during the drie.t seasons. The reas
ons which he has made use of in this report will
hold water no hettee than his " now. fangled "
looks would have saved it.
There is titiparty who feels so sensibly, and
reg,l•ets : so kejnlyi:the necessity that renders a
teaterialeAlfference itt the'rates of transportation
per mile lietweou Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
and between Philadelphia and Cincinnati, and
other western cities, as the Directors and Stock
holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
do. The rates of transportation between Phila•
•
deiphia and Pittsburgh are certainly low enough
after deducting the tonnage " duty." They are
not, more than one-half of what they r e pro be
fore the Pennsylvania Railroad Company became
transporters. The difficulty complained of by
the Board of Trade Committee is traceable en
tirely to the insane competition at low rates be
tween the four Eest and West railroad companies,
and the Tonnage Tax The Pennsylvania Rail
roadtCompany have followed the rates of its ri
vals, until they reached a point 1 hat w, uld
barely pay the cost of transportation and the
tonnage tax—ignoring altogether the claims of
the stockholders. Notwithstanding these low
rates, we have had to reject- thousands of tons
of produce which we could have takeu but for
this tonnage tax.
When the Directors of the B. & O. R. R. Co.,
and their fellow sufferer 3 under the existing
mates, have sufficiently recovered their reason
ing faculties to be safely discharged from the in
fluences that-now restrain them, and the State
Legislature will act just'y to the residents on the
line of the Pennsylvin's Railroad—ireat them
as they treat the citizens of other portions of the
State—then, and not ill then, will the extreme
difference between local and through rates cease
to exist.
The completion of the Allegheny Valley Rail
road, if that was attainable, would but add to
the evils complained of, ivasmuoh as it would
only add additional capital upon which interest
has to be paid by taxing transportation, and for
the accommodation of which there are already
more facilities than are required by the tra.ile of
he country.
Yours truly,
J. EDGAR TIIONISON.

Separating and Smut Machine.
This invention combines in the simplest
possible manner in one machine, the lour well•
known functions necessary to effectually cleati
wheat of all foreign substances, and render it
fit for grinding ; these are, first, a capability
of separating all the lighter and foieign sub
stances by blast ; second, separating by screen
ing or sieving those foreign substances whose
specific gravity will not allow of their passing
off by the action of a proper blast ; third, of
depriving the grain of all smut which may not
have been blown off or separated before arriv
ing at the scouring cylinder, and also scouring
and polishing the grain ; and fourth, depriv
ing the wheat by a light suction, as fast at it
passes from the scouring cylinder, of dust, &c.,
without lifting and interfering with its dies
charge. It is the invention of D. M. Done
hoo, of Hookstown, Pa., and was patented
last week.
An Opening for FilMusters.
The Sultan of Turkey, desirous to develop
the resources of the Empire, we see, has thrown
open to the settlement of foreign families a
territory of something over 30,000 square
miles, including districts of remarkable and
well-known fertility, and skirted by a seacost
nearly 3,509 miles in extent, washed by no
less than six seas, with numerous and well
known harbors in the Mediterranean, Adri
atic, Archipelago, Black and Red Seas, and
the Persian Gulf. Here now is a splendid
oportunity for our Yankee filibusters, who
must be just now pining for something to do.

appointed by the Governor to perform the du ,
ties required by the act. These gentlemen
are all eminently qualified for the bnsiness•as.
signed them, and their high charactar for in
tegrity gives undoubted assurance that neither
the transporters nor the State will sutler in
*ustice at their hands.
In speaking of these apportionments a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Prcas says :
" It was thought by many members, at th
time of the passage of this act, that the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company was liable for all tin
damages sustained by these transporters; bu
this is an egregrious mistake. The State alum
is liable. The company can only be in the cveni
of her closing the western Division, which hm
not yet been done. The Portage Railroad, how
ever, has been practically closed, thus rendering
the use of the Western Division unprofitable t.
transporters; but, in fact, it has not yet been
shut up, and therefore the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company need not pay any damages that may
be assessed.
"In the winter of 1855—'56 there was a great
alarm among the transporters at the prospect of
the canals, sooner or later, passing out of the
control of the State, and a fear that the new
owners might so discriminate as to injure their
business and depreciate their property. They
talked of withdrawing their lines of boats upon
the cannl, and their train of cars upon the rail
road, when the State stepped in, and in the fol
lowing act pledged the faith of the Commonwealth
for the security of certain transporters on the
public works,' which was approved the 11th day
of February, 1856, viz: That, for the encour
agement and security of individual transporters
upon the Main. Line of the public works, the
faith of the Commonwealth is hereby pledged to
such transporters, that in case of the sale of the
said Main Line, or any part thereof, the bloats
and cars of such transporters hereafter placed
upon and used on said Main Line, or upon a part
thereof so sold, shall be taken, if the owners
thereof so desire, the purchaser or purchasers of
the said Main Liue de the case may be, at a fair
cash valuation, to be ascertained hereafter in
such manner as the Legislature may hereafter
provide as a condition of such sale.' This show,.
clearly and explicitly who will have to pay the
piper The damages will probably amount to
$30,000 or 4,000 It is satisfactory to know
that the three gen'lemon selected as appraisers
are not only honest, but from long eSperienct
arc eminently capable to judge of the damage
done."
Another Difficulty with a Prisoner—AA
tempted Suicide.
The town was thrown itdo consternation on
Tuesday by a report that Thomas Downie, who
was in jail charged with burglary, was literally
killing himself by inches. Immediately a
crowd collected at the jail, and soon had evi
dence that the report was well founded. They
found Downie without his coat, his arms and
legs bare, engaged in hacking these limbs with
a razor, and as a matter of course, the blood
was-flowing profusely from those wounds. He
expressed his determination to end his life In
that slow and torturing manner, and declared that
he would kill any person who undertook to pre•
vent him from carrying out his determination
Besides his razor, he had in his posession an iron
stove leg, fourteen inches in length. With this
formidable weapon he stood ready to knock any
mall's brains out who should enter his cell, and
being an active and determined person, would no
doubt have made a vigorous attempt to carry out
his threat.
Pennerylvanta
Indiana
Illinois
New York
[ From the Mt. Sterling Gazette.]
During the whole day ho conversed with his
acquaintances, whom he could see from his cell
window, and the openings in the door. He said
he had made up his mind to commit suicide, and
no power on earth could prevent him. Rum
drinking had brought him to his present con
dition, and he had no wish to live any longer,
a burden to himself and a disgrace to his friends.
He took this method of destroying his life in
drder that his death might be lastingly impressed
upon his associates, and that his melancholy end
might prove a warning sufficient to keep them
from the vice by which he had seen ruined—for
their good he thus " offered himself as a thing
sacrifice." At, sundown he should cut his throat
and then set fire to his cell, hoping to be con
sumed to ashes in the flames. This, with sundry
threats against individuals, and the confession
of the crime with which he is charged, which
he declared he had committed while drunk, was
the burden of his remarks. The nutting was ac
companied with the singing of hymns.
But the "sacrifice" was not destined to be as
complete as he contemplated. Various methods
were suggested of securing him, but none of
them were effectual. Finally, while near the
window a quantity of cayenne pepper was thrown
into his eyes, and thus, blinded and thrown off
his guard, he was secured.
He handed a letter to the sheriff, addressed to
his brother, at Cleveland, 0. He asks pardon
of his brother for the disgrace he has brought
upon him, and desires his body to be carried
to. Cleveland, and buried by the side of his
sister.
On being taken to. the doctor's room, his
wounds were examined and found to be severe,
but net dangerous. His left arm was 'wiled in
many places, but his legs were only slightly cut.
His limbs are now extremely stiff and Bore and
he is weak from loss of blood. But he is is no
danger from his wounds. Ile till declares that
he will kill himself whenever opportunity offers,
and has commenced starving himself. This is a
strange affair. The reason of Downie's conduct
is as yet inexplicable; whether drunkenness, ac
tual or assumed insanity led him into these pro
ceedings, remains to be explained. There seem
ed too much "method in his madness' . for a C 09.-
niac, and his room mate, Dr. Reeves, says
that he has had no liquor of any account to hie
knowledge.
Downie Yiad threatened to take Reeve's life
for several days, and on the morning of this oc
currence the latter had been removed to anothtr
cell.
Downie is a Sooteliman by birth, twenty-five
or six years of age, and has resided in this town
for about two years He is a painter by trade,
a good mechanic, and, iu all respects, intelligent
and competent. All are charitable enough to
believe that the fault of which he is so nonsciolts
is his greatest one.
P S.—Since writirg the above, we learn that
Downie is quite penitent, Find has concluded not
to kill himself.

fatal disease had long baffird the skill of the meet eminent
physicians, when the discovery of Dr. M'Lan,s Diver Pills
solved the difficulty, and pres.nted to the world the Great
Specific, which has attained such wide sprdad celebrity Ls
Its certainty of cure. This successful remedy was the resn't
of many years' study, in which the symptoms were narrow.
ly ebserved, and are thus described by the Doctor, himself:
"Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.—Palu in the right side,
sus sometimes iu the left, under the edge of the ribs—the
patient being rarely able to lie on the left; pain sometimes
under the shoulder-blade, frequently extending to the top
of the shoulder—often mistaken for rheumatism in the arm;
sickness of stomach, and loss of appetite; bowels mostly
costive, but sometimes alternate with lax ; dull, heavy sen
sation in the bask part of the bond; loss of memory, with
uneasiness of having neglected something ; sometimes thy
cough; weariness and debility; nervous irritability; feet cold
or burning, and prielly sensation of skin ; low spirits, las
situde, with disinclination to exercise, although satisfied It
would be beneficiaL In fact, patient distrusts every remedy."

The Chairman, M. Bocoek, stir ii that twenty-
eight gentlemen desire to express their views on 611
Kansas bill, and as only two days will elapse beforo
the bill will be taken up, be thought it proper to state
the fact, in order that members can govern them
selves accordingly.
Mr. Davidgo spoke an hour in defen'o of Sou , het u

Mr. Walbridge spoke in opposition to Lecompton.
Mr. Leidy spoke in favor of Lecompton.
Mr. Davis ' of Maryland, expressed his astonish

of Kansas under such circumstances. The people
of Maryland would resist the attempt to force Le
oompton on the people, and if persisted in, the pew.
ple of Kansas ought to resist. We cught not to
drive them on to this mad revolstionary course, but
-let them pursue the oven tenor they are inclined to
follow; give them the opportunity to expreks their
will as to the laws under which they are to live.
Whether they present themselves with is constitution
with or without slavery is immatsrial, but allow thew
to come in the proper form, and at the proper time
admit Kansas into.tce confederacy of States.
Mr. Olay, of Kentucky, advocated the Lecompton
Constitution. He regarded the agitation of slavery
as the foundation of all this difficulty. In the course
of his remarks he denied that his father wa.: the au
thor of -,,h0 Missouri Compromise.
Mr.'Campbell, of Ohio, in reply to a remark made
by Mr. Clay in condemnation of the cause of the
Northern men, read an extract from Henry Clay's
speech in 1820 against the extension of slavery.
Mr. Clay did not doubt that Mr. Campbell had
correctly quoted from the' speech, but be would tell
him that his father, believing that the Missouri Com
promise was no longer operative, gave us something
better, which was the doctrine of non-intervention
by Congress in the affairs of a Territory, leaving the
people to form their own institutions.
Mr. Campbell replied that he had learned in his
boyhood his first lessons from Henry Clay, and act

The effort had failed in Kentucky, and ne hoped to
sustain himself in his present positi. everywhere.
Mr. Campbell disavowed any disposition to put the
gentleman down. He only wished to show that he
concurred in the father's.arid not in the son's ViOWS.
Mr. Clay—Very well.
Mr. Harlan, of Ohio, spoke against the Lecempten
Constitution.
Mr. Underwood, of Kentucky, oprosed the Kansas
bill. He said that no improper motives could he at
tributed to him, for he was a Southern man by birth,
a, large slaveholder, and in favor of the extension of
slavery. He maintained that the Legislature ~f
Kansas had no power to subvert the territorial gcv
ernment, and that the people are overwhelmingly op
posed to the Lecomp'on Constitution. Admit Kau

than heretofore known. It would not be confined to
KIIIISAB, but would spread through-gut the West and
North until every hamlet and city will be instinct
with excitement. Do justice to Kfl , 9llS j let the pe
