moan-a 1»... passed by than” at Harrisburg. thus: i
The first of these bills, the Sunbu and’
Erie. we referred tosomewhst st lenglh. two 1
weeks since, hence it is only necessary to‘,
say now that it is s scheme to defraud the ‘
Stato out of “500.000 Which this Company
promised to pay the State {or her cunnlsfl
which were sol to this Company in 1351—:
This is to be accomplished in this wise:—
Tlie bill which buJufl passed the Ilouse
cancels the first mortgaie bonds now held
by the State on the Sun my and Eric Rail
road, and create: in lieu thereof a new mort-.
gage of $5,000,000 to be sfirrt mortgage. and ,1
then, after another mortgsge for $1,000,000,
which alresdy bindsa pm of the road, ands
furthcrpreferringowaODOO to contractors, ,
the State istohave a mortgage forher claim.
which. however. is not to bear Interest
until 1872. When it is taken into con
sideration that. this Company have al
ready used up nearly $11,000,000. not on
the construction of the road, for the whole -
length thereof from Sunbury to Eric could ‘
havefbeen constructed for that amount,;
but foolishly squandered s large portion
of it away, you may easily con ccture
how much the Sate will over realise on
her investment. 'We venture the predic,
diction that long before the time arrivesl
when the Stste is to receive interest on hu
claim. the road will be sold under s foreclo
sure of mortgage, by thelnt bond holders,
as over hue hundred miles of the road.
(which will take two years to complete.) is
yet to be constructed. and every cent of the
State's investment will be sunk. and the‘
Treasury defrauded out of 'ust $3,500,000
and interest. ‘So much for {lint swindle.
New for the bill repesling the Tonn
Ta}: on the Pennsylvania Railroad. 5%:
properly understsn this matter it may be
necessary to state that at the time the Penn
sylvanis Railrosd Company was chartered
they agreed to psy the State a to: of three
mil I per ton, on all freightcarried over the
road, in consideration for the privileges
granted them. This tax, since the Colum
hin Railroad and the Main Line ot‘thc State
Czinuls from Columbia to Pittsburg. worel
sold to this Company fora more nominal'
sum. which was done in 1855, has become al
source of great revenue to the State, amoun- :
ting now to an annual sum of about 900,-:
(Km. The Comfgry have refused to pay .
this tax. since 8. Judgment has been
obtained against them for about $700,000,l
and as theßupreme Court, to which the case'
was appealed, have decided against the Com~ l
my, this amount would shortly to have!
in Jnaid into the State Treasury. We ‘
shoul have said thnt a clause wus attach
to the bill passed in 1855. under which the
Maui Line was sold, repealing this Tonnage
Tax hill, but, its constitutionality was eon-l
tested by Col. HssnS. Men, of Pike mum,
ty, :1 bondholder. and the repealing clause
was declared by theSupr-eme Court tobc un-s
constitutional. The bill which pulsed the!
House run Saturday not on‘yrepealsthn Ton
nage Tax law, so fares itreistes to the. Penn-'
sylvanin Railroad, but. declares that the
suite slmll not levy or collect n tonnage tax
on any Railroad or (‘nnul (hut isnmo builtor that
may lii-vw‘ql'ler 12¢ (enameled, and that the $700,-
000 now owing the State by the Pennsylvan~,
is Railroad Company as a tux on tonnage?
which they have collected since 1968,:md
which they have refused to pay over. shalll
not be paid to the State, but that the snid
l’enn-ylvania Railroad Company min/invest -.
it in the bonds of about a dozen unliniv-hcd‘
little railroads, which are branches of the
said Compan ’s road.
And for all this sacrifice, you nsk what
does the State get? “'e answer not one
red cent! Only. the Company mngnanim
nusly (2) agree to increase their annual lay
nwnts on the purchase money for the )lnin
Line, from Some hundred thousand to four
hundred thousand dollars, until "90, and
tlwn. if there is any balance owing the State '
the Compnny slml pny it and be relensed
forever. Thus, it is plainly seen, the. State‘
is to be cheated out of about $300,000 annu
ally for the benefit of a mammoth corpor
ntinn that is already paying its stockholders
8 per cent. on their inresmvnl. 2-
