THE AMERICAN CITIZEN, Butler, Pa., Wednesday,Feb, 1, '865. f-rr the Cttuwa. Died, n«ar Brownsdale, Butler county, IV, oil the Ist of January, Sadie, infant daughter of Alexander and Mary H. Dou thett, aged nine months and twenty-one day* Her dis&ase Was affection of the brain Tlitaign so young, patience was »hth inst. to the increiise of tolls, asked for by this company. I would beg leave to state the following facts: Ist. Said company has never paid one cent in dividends upon the stock paid in *'Bo,ooo—but yet owes about seven thou sand dollars to creditors, 2nd. For the year ending, Ist of May last, the expenses exceeded tbetollsabout twenty-five hundred dollars. Ihe great advance in the price of labor and mate rials, while the tolls were fixed by law, rendered such a result unavoidable. The question then is. Shall the tolls be increased sufficient to keep the road in repair and pay its debts, or shall tho road be abandoned? This question has been answered by all the principal men whose interests are af fected as toll-payers by their signing pe titions for an increase of toll. Those who call on you and complain, must be consid ered in favor of abandoning the road It slinu/il he a sufficient answer to the caller to remind him that ho is not compel led to travel this road. In this county public roads are found everywhere run ning parallel to this road. The I'lank lload Company has no monopoly of the road business. County roads can be open ed from point to point, and thus, this class who wish to avoid toll accommodated. It however they admit the necessity of trav eling our road, because of the bad condi tion of the other roads. 1 would ask. what can they gain by reducing the plank road to the same condition with them. Y our remarks as to the propriety of any increase beyond a certain point arc admit ted, and it is not the intention to increase the tolls beyond the present rates now C°charged as Winter Rates, unless further advances in labor and materials should make it absolutely necessary. TREASURER. Special Correspondence pittahurgh Commercial. IlarriMlturg CorrcNiMmilcnfr, Tho farmers of the State will be under many obligations to Mr. McKee, of Alle gheny, for his consideration in offering and urging the passage of a bill which, as the title indicates, is " for the protection of sheep, and taxation id' dogs within this Commonwealth." It. conforms as near i>s possible to the Ohio law upon the same subject, and contains eleven sections, which, in brief, provide that every dog shall be registered annually on or before the first of May, the register to contaii. a , descriptii n of the dog. its sex, size, and , color. The assessor on making the rec ord shall give the owner of the animal, -upon the payment of two dollars for a v malc and five dollars for a female dog. a , certified copy of the register, and upon each shall be a collar, on which shall be marked the owners name. Of the mon ey received for the register tweuty-fivc cents .shall be retained by the Assessor, •and the balance shall goto the school •fund of the township, ward or borough in which the registry is made. The owner? of the doss are to be held responsible for any damage the dog may do. n'.ul any per son who tails to register his canine, is to pay a flue of fifteen dollars. Every dog ..running at large without a collar is to be killed by the comtutiles, the officers afore said receiving fifty cents for every one ithus slaughtered, and whore anv officer serving under this act refuses to perform his duties, mulcted in a tine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than 8300. More railroads are needed in tho oil re gions. Such appears to be the determiu ation of some of the residents of the hills and valleys of the petroleum counties whether the roads be worked by horse oi steam power. Mr. Iloge has submitted : bill which has for its object the inoorpo ration of the Franklin and Slippery Hoc! Railroad, with power to build a single o double track from Franklin to the coa fields of Butler, aud such branches of lat eral roads in Butler as they deeui neces eary. They arc also to have the right t< connect with any road now or hweafte to be constructed in Butler. Tho capital stock is to be one million dollars, and the incorporators : H. C. McCoy, L. "■ liodg ers, James S. Myers, Thomas Bobinson, •lohn M. Thompson. James M. Breden, E. I). DeWolf, C. Heedrick and P. Me- Guffee. The Cherry Bun anil Oil Creek Bail road Company is also to be incorporated, if a bill offered in the ll..use should pass Jas. McGrew, J no. Warren, Jno. Watt, L. I). V. Mason, and Bateman Goe, are named as Commissioners, and the road is to run from Oil City to the Story Faun, on Oil creek. Branches can be made up j the valley of Cherry Run to Plumner,and j to any point beyond, in \ euango county, ; which the directors may deetn advisable; and the main line and branches are to be j operated entirely by horse power. The j company arc to establish rates for the transportation of passengers and freight, but those rates are not to exceed ten cents per mile for passengers, twenty cents for each barrel of oil, ten cents for an empty barrel, and twenty five cents per hundred j tor all other kinds of freight. Many of your readers are doubtless anx- [ ious to know what arc the provisions of j Mr. Lowrey's bill providing for the sub scription of the unsubscribed stock of the I Erie and Pittsburg Railroad,and fortheir | information I would state that it author- ] izes the Directors to receive subscriptions for any part of the unsubscribed stock ol j the Company under such regulations as ; they shall prescribe. The new subscri bers are to have the same rights as those who originally took stock, provided that each shall pay at the tune of subscribing five dollars on each share. The bill relative to the Toughiogheny Navigation Company, read by Mr. Rig haui. was based upon a memorial sent hereby General Herman Ilaupt, who by the way, it is stated, purposes removing in the Spring to the western part of Penn sylvania, aud who is the lessee of the Company. It gives them the right to charge such tolls as will pay the expense of operation and repairs, and provide for renewals and the payment of six percent, upon the actual cost of improvements, but all access over six per cent, is to be paid into the State Treasury for the re lief of families of volunteers, or to such other objects as the Legislature may di rect. This disposition of an excess is cer tainly a commendable precedent, which miglit be followed by other corporations. 4 4»\<.ICi:SMO\AI,. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. SENATE. —Mr. Conness reported favor ably on the bill authorizing tho construc tion of a Iri Ige over the Ohio at Louis ville. Mr. SI, rm n called up the bill to issue Treasury ot in lieu of any bonds au thorized" by tlie act of June 30th, 1804. The billjwrs pa?s?d without an enduunt. The Ito nil making an appropria tion for the .Military Academy was passed. Also for the support of the Postoffice Department for the next fiscal year. The Secretary of War, in response to the resolution, replies that commission i ers to pay loyal owners for slaves muster -1 ed into the military service in the border j ; States have been appointed for Maryland | and Delawaro, but not yet for any other j State. Also, that the President has or i dercd that the rolls of slaves mustered | into service should not be given, as it i gave room for fraud. The Senate resumed the consideration of the resolution advising retaliation up on the rebels for cruelty to our prisoners in their hands. Mr. Davis, who was entitled to the floor, advocated the inexpediency of pas sing the proposition. Mr. Davis advoca- \ ted to what he termed tho failure of the administration to receive the exchange ; of prisoners when it could have been done so on honorable terms. Mr. Howard replied to the arguments of the opponents of the retaliatory rncas ure. Mr. Wilson moved that all the papers j and resolutions submitted on this subject ; be recommitted to the Committee on Mili j itary Affairs. He had no doubt that the Committee after having heard the debate on matter could frame resolutions that would pass. Several Senators here arose, and Mr. I'omeroy in the Chair, recognized -Mr. Wade, who gave way to Mr. Hendricks for a personal explanation in reply to some remarks from Mr. Howard. Mr."Hale said 1 want the fifth rule of the Senate read. The rule referred to was read. It provides that when two mem bers claim the floor at once, the Chair shall recognize the one who shall have risen first. Mr. Hale—l want to call the attention of the Senate to his rule. I was entitled to the floor, and intended to offer some re marks on the subject, but the Chair docs not recognise my right. | Here Mr. Wade protested against rcc ; ommiting the subject as proposed by Mr. \\ ilson. The resolution did not go far enough. The preamble did not reach one tenth part of the cruelties inflicted upon our soldiers by the rebels, aud he was in favor of the fullest and freest retaliation to scan re justice to our soldiers who had fallen iuto the hands of the rebels. Sup pose we send Commissioners, tlioy would have no better success than Blair hud, and God knows we are all tired of his mission. What did he do? He took off his cap to Jeff. Davis and told him he was a pretty good fellow. If we must send Peace Commissioners we had better make some other selection. [Laughter iu the galleries.] Mr. Wade continued his re marks for some time advocating the prin ciples of retaliation. Mr. Foster rose to reply to some allu sion? made to his speech by Mr. Wade, who had said that he (Mr. Wade) would stand by aud see a rebel staive to death. Mr. Wade—l would, if it was to serve one of our own uicn, or make the rebels treat them properly. Mr. Johnson took the floor to advocate the motion to refer the subject of a mili tary committee, and addressed the Seuate at leugth on the subject. he Senate weut iuto executive session, aud after adjourned. —There are two fruits of folly visible - in the world; men will not do when they > can, and afterwards canuot when they r would.
