Mr. Btanton then Eaid that is alleged by
the other bide that the State taxes and tonnage
will b released. That was not ground for
the Canal Board to complain or interfere.
Having no interest in these taxes they had
nothing to gain or lose. That the release of
taxes is valid in law according to adjudicated
oaeea. There was no reason for the interpo
sition of this Court. The Canal Commission
er. i having failed to show any interest ves
ted in these taxes, nor their new allies,
tie Corumifccioners of Allegheny county.
Mr. Btanton then proceeded to take up each
till respectively. As to the bill filed by
(tie uanai commissioners no iDjury uaa
been ehown or suggested by the counsel, un-
leM it be in the argument to tho effect that
the Canal Board was a department oi the gov
ernment of the State. Such a claim of pre
rogative cannot be defended here or else
where. There are three departments of gov
eremeat required by the Constitution execu
tive, legislative and judicial. The complain
ants are mere creatures of the legislative au
thority The sale of the public works dispo
aee of their office and they become no more
than rrivate citizens. II. S. Mott swears
that tbe Board would be divested of their of
fioes in consequence of the sale. Mr. Mott
gpes to Market street and buys three shares
pf stock, becomes a stockholder holding the
one hundreth and eighty-third thousandth
part of the stock; dissents to the company be
aue a party to the sale, on the ground the
unanimous consent of the stockholders had not
been obtained and that the value of his stock
would depreciate. In one bill he says that
this measure is for the exclusive advantage of
the company and in the oath to the other bill
that the company will suffer.
Mr. Stanton then referred to the petition
presented this morning by the Commissioners
of Allegheny county, stating that they wore
Baked trustees and came into Court with .ev
ery dollajsjof the Allegheny stock pledged to
tha hA holders: that theso Commissioners
stood in direct opposition to the inttrefcts of
their representatives, and, therefore, have no
elonding in a Court of Equity.
Mr. ti. then considered the following nron-
hv tho ntW fiid i 1st That I
the act of Assembly authorizing the sale, iui-
pairs tho obligations of the contract ; 2d,
"That by this act property is approprated with-
wi compensation to the owner. Mr. S. said
that no contract was impaired, because the
Bute had the right to name any purchaser
aad the terms of the purchase. Ko new pow-
er had been cranted. The State, in order to
renrfl comretition has authorized anv bod v.
corporations or individuals, to purchase, and
offer to give the purchasers corporate powers.
Individuals could not become purchasers on
aoeount of the amount demanded. The pur
chaser must necessarily be a corporation, and
no reason had been shown why the Pennsyl
vania Railroad being a corporation, should
not become the pui chaser. The incorporation
f such a compauy would subserve a double
purpose publio good and private interest.
, In regard to the second point be said, that
tL act provides that any stockholder dissen
ting shall have his stock sold at sale per mar
ket value. This is the position of Mr. Mott.
lie is not without remedy. If not provided
with compensation by the voluntary act of the
Company, he has his remedy at law, where
IIY am.aSes.a lbe"tcivdf.of
thestock. An injustice would be done to the
Company by granting an injunction, but no
Mch injury would be sustained by Mr. Mott,
for he has his remedy at law.
Mr. Meredith arose and said he had listen
ed with great interest and attention to the ar
guments of the learned counsel on the other
ido, with a hope to hear an exposition which
4heir ability had led him to anticipate. The
whole stress and burden of their argument is
an attack upon Mr. Mott in his official and
tent, gratifying because, according to tho
rale of tho rhetoricians, where a party fails
ki argument, he must throw an odium upon
iiw antagonist.

The Death of Dr. A. Rodrlgne.
v It becomes our painful and melancholy
duty, to announce to our readers, the death
of Dr. Rodrioub. He died at Lecompton,
Kansas Territory, on the 11th inst of
inflamation of the stomach.
' For a number of years, Dr. R. resided in
in this placo and vfcas well and favorably
known to the citizens of our county. He re-
moved from Ebensburg to Hollidaysburg,
and during his residence there, as well as
here, he acquired the unbounded confidence
of tbe community, as a scientific and success-
ful practitioner. In 1855, be turned bis face
Westward, and located himself permanently
in Lecompton. We have no doubt, that in
Kansas, he stood in the very front rank of his
profession. His numerous friends and old
acquaintances in Ebeneburg, as well as his
nearest relations who are residents of. our
town, watched his career in the far west,
with much interest and solicitude.
They j
little expected that just at the time, the beau- I
tiful Territory, of which he was one of the j
most useful, energetic and prominent citizens, 1
was about to be restored to peace and har-
mony, the sad and unexpected news of his
untimely death, would cast a deep and sol-
emn sadness around their domestic hearths,
t is quite unnecessary for us to enlarge upon
Dr. Rodrigue's merits as a Phypician, as well
t i i ii l rv .x. c i I
as his high moral character. To the first,

Cambria county who enjoyed his personal
acquaintance, will Dear willing testimony 10

munity. "When we have said this much, we
are sure our remarks will meet with & heart
felt response from our citizens : anl what
more appropriate and befitting eulogy can be
pronounced upon the dead, tnan tbe respect
and confidence entertained for them j those,
who knew them best.
Since writing the above we have received
the Lecompton Union, dated June 12th, from
which we copy the following notice : -

place, and his loss to our city is irreparable
to his esteemed and afflicted family, beyond
comprehension.
To a marked amiability of character, he
added the highest order of scientific acquire
ment in his profession. Such a man he was,
that for his loss a bcrieved family may indeed
weep, a large circle of friends be afflicted,
and the wholo country mourn.
His disease was gastritis. Tranquil in the
integrity of a good conscience, and the hopes
of Christianity he died as only tho noble and
good may die.
A more extended notice will bo riven

hereafter."
The Crops.
A few weeks ago, it was generally believed
that the crops of all kinds for 1857, would
fall very far short of those of 1856. The
backwardness of the Spring, was calculated
to encourage this belief. We gather, howev
er, from our exchanges, that not only in this
State, but in nearly every State of the UnioD,
there will be an abundant harvest. In nearly
all the "Western and South Western
a, '
they were
. ttCr-
the prospects are quite as good as
last year; in some they are much
We regard it then as very certain, that in
view of the prospect of an abundant harvest
in Europe, as well as the flattering prospects
j x. e e
in our own country, there need be no foar of
a famine.
In our own county, every kind of grain
looks well, except the corn; we have had too
much rain, aud too many cold winds, for the
rapid growth of thi necessary and important
... .1 .1
agricultural product, inuring tnis montu,

Conservative Democracy.
We find cheering evidences in all our ex
ch anges of the progress of right principles and
the crushing out of the antagonism to the
spirit of nationality. The Providence Post
says : throughout the whole country the
conservative element seems to be uniting on

" Wilmot as a Judge.
The National Defender, a Fillmore paper
published at Norristown, Pa., informs its rea-
ders of a cortaic matter connected with the
judicial career of David Wilmot which had
hitherto, escaped our' notice, but which should
certainly be made known to every voter in the
State of Pennsylvania, before he goes to the
election of next October. The circumstances
says the Defender, are briefly these;" In
a case of arbitration in Susquehanna county,
Judge Wilmot sitting as Examiner, Nahum
Newton, Esq., a practising lawyer of that
county, was subpoenaed as a witness. He
obeyed the call, bu,t alleges that he was mis-
informed as to place and again received notice
to be present at a future day. Before the
time s pecified he was called to an adjoining
county on urgent professional business, and he
informed Judge Wilmot of the fact by note
On hiareture au attachment wa3 served upon

which promised to, terminate in the consuma- experience, including an account of my oaeet

toil amid the forests of the Alleghenies.
Stowing away in my trunk everything I deem
ed necessary for my convenience and comfort,
during the Journey, including the fife I pur-
chased at the Fremont & Dayton Convention
at Pittsburg last fall, and ' which you, Mr.
Editor, have heard discourse eloquent music
on more than one occasion, I bade Adieu to
my family and friends, and took up the line
of march towards the land of my father?. Im-
mediately after arriving at Philadelphia, I
secured a passage to Liverpool on the City of

which had done her majesty some set vice"
