Vanderbilt is estimated to now be worth one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. The most of this he inher- j ited from his father Cornelius Vander- j hilt who at his death left his other chil- i dren about a million of dollars apiece j but left William tbe bulk of his fortune, j A million dollars or as less sum is all ; that any of them should have been i allowed to inferit, the balance, we think, should have gone into the trea sury of the State that protected him iu the peaceable possession of it through life. We merely take this case as an illustration, there, of course, are hund reds of others. That a man should be protected in the possession of all he can lawfully accumulate during his lifetime no one will dispute, aud if be has a genius for accumulating vast wealth, as has Jay Gould, John Rock afeller and many other men now living no one should object to his leaving, reasonable fortunes to each of his children, but there should be a limit to the amount that any one man could leave to another. Money is power, ' and a vast sum in the hands of any I one family, is a permanent aud con stantly increasing power, a thing which in a Republic, should be sat down upon in every shape and form If it is not. a few families will, in the course of time, control the whole coun- try, aud we shall have a moneyed aristocracy, which of course will lead to a titled one with hereditary civil powers.

One principal ar gument used by those favoring a poor house is, that it is often hard to get any one to take charge of the poor under present laws. But we have never known any such great trouble. Then again they say a poor house properly established and managed would be self sustaining Hut experi ence in other counties show the re verse of this. The Mercer county poor house has been a great burden and a curse to the people of that county for many years, according to all ac- I counts. And so in Venango county. I We heard a man say so the other day. I A great many Butler county people ! know the truth of these cases. From j its nature it is not very likely that au j economical farmer would get the man agement of a poor house farm. More : likely some other kind of a person who knew nothing about farming—so he got his pay—big pay too generally, is all he would care much about. We ! think the present system by odds not only the most economical but the most humane. Every township should keep its own poor. The cattle upon a thousand hills belong to the Lord, of which we owe the tenth for the loan to us ; and taking care of the Lord's poor is one item of the tenth. And we prav leave them with us, for it will take a gn at deal more to pay the offices and run the poor house than tSIJD | perryiWk etfyV, tto tfoVttfc. ATbc from Clay township.

The {>eople of this county should not trust the Countv Commis sioners or any other body to take care of our poor. It can be done best and most humanely at home among our selves. We hope the people of tbe j county will look earfullv at this qties ! tion before taking a step that may be bad for the county and for the poor. Let each towship and borough pro vide a proper place for their own poor and take good care of them as often and as long as humanity, religion and law demand they should. A TAX PAYER.

R- Th 3 Stoeklro'dersof r.ae .. N c. &L. E R R Co. Fil-'S a Till! in Equity. As foreshadowed in the Commercial Gazette, fin important suit was betrun iu the U. S. Circuit Court yesterday bv the filing of a bill in equity by Messrs. Hampton & Dalzell and I). T Watson, attorneys for Grim well Hurt, of New York, on behalf of himself and other stockholders of the Pittsburg, New Castle and Lake Krie Railroad Company against the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Company, in which he asks that the sale of the property and rights of the former company to the latter be set aside and that a re ceiver be appointed to take charge of the railroad until this suit is decided. The bill sets forth that Mr. Burt s the :>wner of 320 shares of the P., N. C. & L. E. R. It. stock, and that on Au-rust 27th, 1879, the property and rights of his road were sold by the Sheriff of Allegheny county on a judgment of £5,020 to the defendants in this suit for ;he sum of $5,500, who then organized i new company known as the Pitts burg and Western Railroad Company. There was no interruption in the busi ness of the P., N. C. & L E. R. R. Do. to those of the defendants who were its officers continued to manage its affairs after the Sheriff's sale. The plaintiff further alleges that the sale was r raudulent and void and it was procur ed to be made by collusion between rrertain of the directors and officers of the said company who made use of their positions to join with the others, for the express purpose of divesting the plaintiff and the general stockholders of their property iu the road, lie also al leges that the money with which the judgment was purchased belonged to the P. N. C. k L. E. It. R. Co. At the time of the sale the entire floating indebtedness of said company did not exceed $27,000 and its pressing indebt edness did not exceed $7,000 and there were no judgments against t he company except the $5,0*20 referred to, and #4OO more. The company was then the owner of sti,7oo of hunk stock and had yet unissued $35,000 of their first mortgage bonds, and therefore he claims that there was no necessity f r the sale. He hlho alleges tlr t there was an irregularity in the Sheriff's proceed ings. Many of the creditors of the P. N. C. & L. K. R. R. Co., having been informed that the defendants were simp y holding said railroad property in trust for the original stockholder and creditors, but he believes their rep resentations are not sincere. For these ami other reasons he asks that the sale be set aside.— Commercial Gazette, Jan. 20. <'oiik(|||||»i i«UI ( lireil.
