    JE1TRS0NIAN REPUBLICAN.
HARRISBURG NEjVS. ,
. Correspondence of Uie Daily Chronicle.
March 16, 1843.
House .An hour, and upwards, of the morn
ing was taken up in the ' presentation of peti
tions. A motion was made by Mr. Roumfort to take
up (out of order) the resolution from th Sen
ate.'fixing the 28th inst. for final adjournment,
which requiring two-thirds, was agreed to, 52
to 32.
On motion of Mr. Hill, a resolution was
adopted limiting tho speeches of members to 20
minutes each.
Sale of Public Improvements. Mr. Brooke
submitted a resolution instructing the commit
tee of Ways and Means to bring in a bill pro
viding for the sale of all the State Improve
ments. Mr. Roumfort moved to fritter away,
the resolution by merely instructing the' com
mittee to "inquire into the expediency" of the
measure.
A discussion was then gotten op of an inter
esting character, being confined to tho import
ant subject under consideration, a species of
debate almost absolete in these Halls. Mr.
Brooke's resolution was supported by Messrs.
Brooke, Rnckhill, Tuslin, Dickey, Iliuehman,
Deford, McEwen, Sharswood, Elton.
The amendment proposed by Mr. Roumfort,
by himself and Messrs. Lowry and Karns.
Mr. Elwell was in favor of selling the
Branches, but not the main line. He would
then apportion the State debt amongst the sev
eral counties.
The subject was still under discussion when
the mail closed.
Se.vate. The following House bills were
reported for the committee on banks as com
mitted, viz: A bill to rccharier tho Farmer's
Bank of Reading to recharter the Tanner's
Bank of Bucks county to recharter tho Bank
of Northern Liberties the Southwark Bank ;
and a bill to reduce the capital slock of the
Bank of Northern Liberties.
Mr. Bigler reported as committee House bill
for the election of State printer.
Mr. Keadly, (Corporations,) reported as
committed, House bills incorporating the fol-
lowing comptinics : Spring Garden Gas Com
pany ; Tioga Mutual Insurance Co: and Sink
ing Spring Mutual Insurance Company. -
March 17, 1843.
The bill for the sale of this Division of the
Pennsylvania Improvements for the sum of
SI,S00,00C, after several ineffectual -attempts
to reduce the price to $1,500,000, passed final
reading by a vole of 24 to 8, was sent to the
House.
The bill providing for the election of Stale
Librarian, annually, by the Legislature, reduc
ing the salary of that officer to $400, and mak
ing some other retrenchments in that depart
ment, passed final reading-and was sent to the
House.
HorsE. On motion of Mr. EI well, the
House resolrcd to devote morning sessions,
after Monday next, exclusively, to the conside
ration of bills of a public and general nature,
and confining the order of presenting petitions,
&c, exclusively to afternoon sessions.
The " Reform Bill" as returned from the
Senate, was takeji up for concurrence in their
"amendments" (Bill) the question being on
substituting Mr. Lowry's Bill, which reduces
the salaries of all officers of the Government,
from the Governor downwards. Action on the
Bill had not concluded, when the hour of ad
journment -arrived.
The House met in the afternoon and re
sumed the consideration of the bilL relative to
tho erection of Spring Garden Water Works
at the Schuj'Ikm. Fas bill was opposed by
the city members, and Messrs. Lowry, Dickey
and others ; and advocated by those from the
county, and Messrs. Barrett and Others. Some
amendments were offered, but the " hour of
;six" having arrived, the House adjourned with
out baring a vote on the bill as amended.
I forgot to mention above, that during the
discussion this morning, on the " Reform Bill,"
an explanation was had of the unfortunato mis-
nndesianduig between Messrs. Hmchman' and
Deford, which took place a few days agorand
xeMJiieu in tlie lonner s twanging the latter s
nose , and, the parties became reconciled to each
other. And the committee was discharged.
March 18, 1843.
Senate. After the presentation of petitions,
a few private Bills were reported,, from Stand
ing Committees, amongst which was one from
the Judiciary, by Mr. Sullivan, providing for
tho pa3-mem, semi-annually, of the appropria
tion to the Institution for the Blind.
Mr. H tester reported adversely, from the Mi
litia Committee, on petitions asking thai tho
Jaiv exempting members of Fire Companies
from militia fines, may be repealed.
On motion of Mr. Horton, the" Committee
on Finance ws instructed to inquire into the
expediency of reducing the salaries of the offi
cers of the State Penitentiaries.
The Bill from iho House providing for the
election of Canal Commissioners by the peo
ple, and to reduce the expenses of the Board,
i:c.r came up on second reading, the question
being on Mr. Darsie's amendment to the first
bection. authorising the people annually to vote
for two Commissioners, and tho three highest to
be declared elected. The amendment was
Jo yeas 16, nays 17.
The first seciiou of the bill as it came from
the House was then adopted.
Mr. Stewart moved to amend tho second
section, (which requires the election of a Board
of Canal Commissioners by the Legislature,
to serve until their eleption next fall by the peo
plr,) by requiring the two Houses to vote in
Convention for two Commissionrs, tho three
highet in voios to be declared elected, which
was not agreed to-. Yeas 8, nays '24.
The bill was still on second reading, when.-it
was postponed for the purpose of uoing into
Executive session, andseverul Associate JudgeB
were confirmed.
A message was received from the Governor
nominating the Hon. Nathaniel B. Eldred, to
bo President of the 12th Judicial District, com
posed of the counties of Dauphin, Lebanon
and Schuylkill, with the addition of the new
county of Carbon. Judge Eldred now presides
in the District composed of tho counties of
Erie, Crawford? Venango and Warren. So the
Governor will have another vacancy to fill in
that quarter.
House. On motion of Mr. Brindle, the
Commissioners of the Internal Improvement
Fund were requested to furnish the House with
a statement of their accounts, showing specifi
cally what disposition they have made of the
moneys which came in their hands, together
with a list of officers on the public works
where located, and what salaries they receive.
The Bill reported by Mr. Brawlcy, dividing
the State into Districts, for the election of Stnto
Senators and Representatives, was taken up in
Committee of the Whole, and was shortly af
terwards brought beforo tho House on second
reading, by refusing the Committee of the
whole to sit again.
The first section, dividing the Stale inio Sen
atorial Districts, at a ratio of 11,746 taxables,
for one Senator, was agreed to on second read-
ing. It gives the city two Senators, and the
county three. The section arranging tho Rep
resentative Districts, at a ratio of ono for every
3,376 taxables, was under consideration when
the House adjourned. But little progress had
been made lo it. It is difficult to amend a bill
of this character, for if you alter a single dis
trict, it knocks the whole thing into pi. The
Philadelphia districts are not reached, hut ihe
bill gives the county nine members, whilst the
city is allowed but four. The number of taxa
bles in the city is put at 17,550 ; in the county
at 33,562. Mr Moms thinks there is a mistake
about the city calculation, as will appear by
comparing it with the number of taxables for
school purposes, which is over 20,000.
Yours, &c
The Indian Queen'.
'We perceive the old Indian Queen tavern in
Founh abovo Chesnut, is about being partially
transformed into a store. This is one of our
most ancient public houses, and was said to
nave been a lavonte resort ol the British officers
during the temporary possession of the city by
their troops in the War of the Revolution. This
house was afterwards a principal lodging house
for members of Congress, and we are informed
by an old citizen that tho Declaration of Inde
pendence was written in the lower chamber
the first north of the front door that being
Jefferson's room. His arm chair used for the
occasion, we believe, is now in possession of
J. K. Kane Esq. of this city. N. American
A Practical Joke
It is known to the country merchants who
visit the city to buy goods, that our principal
Hotels are infested with what are termed drurn
mers or borers, clerks and under-partners of
wholesale stores, who dog tho steps of buyers
with untiring assiduity, in hopes of obtaining
them as customers, or winning them from their
usual places of purchase. Among the quiet
plodding merchants of Market street, there is
an exceedingly shrewd and witty Yankee, a
shoe merchant, who, finding the boring system
was taking away his old customers, resolved
to try his hand. Accordingly, on Saturday
last, about 2 o'clock, the usual hour of attack,
he entered Bridges' Merchants' Hotel, bearing
an enormous auger, strung full of shoes ! and
mounting a chair,, he addressed the crowded
saloon i
" Gentlemen, I hale all subterfuge and decep
tion, and frankly announce that I have come
hero to-day for the' purpose of boring you for
custom. In order to compete with your perse
vering tormentors, if you will make a bill wiih
me, at No. Market .street, I will not only
treat you to a bottle of winc'and a theatre tick
et, but will give you lodgings for the night!"
A roar of laughter and cheers followed this
announcement, and while the abashed borers
hid themselves in the crowd, several buyers
resolved " for the fun of the thing," to go and
make a bill with the joker.--Courier.
A ffew Tricli.
A Southern gentleman, walking in Vesey
street, the other night, (says the Tribune,) was
checked by a fellow sluinblins against him.
pretending to nick tmsomethinff at his feet, and
then running off, while another genius accosted

The gentleman fell for his pocket-book, which

was got up with intent to sswndle him. but he
thought he would look further into it, and fol

the fugitive lo stop. Tho latter held up the
pochei-oooK, which it was pretended he had
found, exposing a thick roll of what appeared to
be Bank bills, and said, (still k
" I won't have my honesty disputed for nothing

An Agreeable Surprise.
The heirs of one of our oldest and wealthi
est citizens, who died a few weeks back, on
taking possession of his house, discovered a
largo sum of money, of which thi'y had no
previous knowledge whatever.- They contin
ued their researches until the sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars was collected (of ,which
there is no account left by the deceased,) part
in -bank bills, but the larger portion in checks,
one, two, and three years old, upon 'our city
banks noi certified and yet every dollar of
which was promptly paid on presentation at the
different banks.

Going- the Whole Hog.
A man with a moderate appciiie dined at a
hotel in Cincinnati, and after eating the whole
of a young pig. was asked if he wbuld have
some pudding. Ho replied that ho did not
care much about pudding, but if ihey had
another Utile hog he would be thankful lor it.
Winter.
Mary Howitt has beautifully described ihe
contrast between the rich and the poor, at this
season of the year
" In rich men's halls, the fire is piled,
And furry robes keep out the' weather -r
In poor men's huts, the fire is low,
. Thro' broken panes the keen winds blow,
And old and young- are cold together.
Oh, poverty is disconsolate !
Its pains are many, its foes are strong ;
The rich man, in his jovial cheer,
Wishes 'twas winter all the year;
The poor man, 'mid his wants profound,
With all his little children round,
Prays God that winter be not long.

IMPROVEMENTS IN " THE MUSEUM."
" The Museum" is now so fairly and firmly es
tablished, that we feel warranted in making some
very extensive and important improvements. By
the first of May, wa shall have completed all our
arrangements. We shall have, in the first place, a
beautiful, clear and- bold type
superb smooth and white papec in the third place,
we shall make an ingenious and novel change in
the arrangement of the matter in the fourth place,
we shall increase our corps of contributors in all the
various departments of a Family Neicspaper in
the fifth place, we have secured, at a high salary r
the services of Edgar A. Poe, Esq., a gentleman
whose high and versatile abilities have always
spoken promptly for themselves, and who, after the
first of May, will aid us in the editorial conduct of
the journal.
The " Narrative of Townsend's Journey over the
Rocky Mountains" one of the most interesting and
valuable ever published, is sent to all new subscri- i
uers. At its conclusion, our reauers win una
themselves in possession of a work which alone
will be worth double the subscription to the paper.
We shall continue, ajsp, of course, the 'Biograph
icat Sketches and Portraits," which are now exci
ting so unexampled an interest With these and
other features continued, and with the improve
ments in contemplation, it remains to be seen
wiiether we do not amply fulfil our determination
of making the very best newspaper in America.
Persona wishing to secure six thousand large oc
tavo pages of useful, interesting, and unexceptiona
blo reading for the select family circle, for the
small sum of Two Dollars per year being at the
astonishing low rate of thirty page for one cent,
or equivalent to one hundred and twenty pages for
four cents should hand their names in now.
TERMS. Two Dollars per annum. Three
copies for Five Dollais, or Sixteen copies for
Twenty Dollars, is the extra inducement offered
at present for clubbing.

WHAT IS SAID.
From upwards of ono hundred notices of the
presses throughout the country, we have only
room for the following :
Of the leading daily papers, the Pennsylvanian
says " The 'Saturday Museum,' is a very hand
some sheet, well filled with interesting matter.
Mr. Clarke has the experience of many years-in
this species of publication, and one may see he
understands his business.
The United States Gazelle says "Mr. Clarke
has a knowledge of tho business, and understands
whit makes a paper interesting, and how to make'
it interesting. The price is Two Dollars per an
num, and it is well worth double, &c-
The Inquirer and Daily Courier$a.ys " Its con
tents are various and well arranged ; the editor
much experience in his profession, and in a large
handsome sheet, has managed to give an immense
quantity of valuable matter, &c.
