AI:OCTANT GANZRAL'S REPORT. -We see that
this document is noticed in all quarters with
marked approbation. But up to the present
date, we have not been favored with a copy.—
If the office was still filled by a blackguard,
like George W. Bowman, who filled his reports
with low party slang, and gross abuse of a
majority of the Taxpayers of the State, we
would not much regret being minus the annual
report; but when filled, as it now is, by a gen
tleman and a scholar, we feel anxious to 'see the
report, and have the pleasure of perusing it.—
Will some one of our friends at Harrisburg
gratify us I
THE EDDY FAMILY,
By a card in another column, it will be seen
that this community is to be again favored with
a Concert by the EDDY FAMILY, at the
COERT Horns, THIS (Tuesday) EvENING. They
are assisted by Mr. VINCENT A. SCIiNtIDT, a
celebrated Guitarist, who has non unbounded
applause for his performances in Philadelphia,
Harrisburg, and elsewhere. A number of new
pieces will be sung. We bespeak for them a
full attendance this evening. They were an
nuonced for last evening, but owing to a press
ing invitation to perform at Waynesburg, they
were unable to reach this place. But we know
this little disappointment will only bring out a
larger audience this evening.
Canal Board Organized.
The Pa. Telegraph of Saturday last says:—
Judge Longstreth arrived in Harrisburg on
Thursday, and the Board was organized yester
day by the appointment of JAMES M. POWER,
President, and Thos. L. Wilson, Secretary.—
Several removals and new appointments were
also made the same day—amongst which were
William English, Sup.rintendent of the Phila•
delphia and Columbia Railroad, in the place of
Dr. Holmes, removed; and John Stall
man, Collector at Philadelphia, in the place .of
A. Boyd Cummings, removed.
We also learn that the following gentlemen of
this place have received appointments:
JOHN P. ANDERSON, Esq., Supervisor of the
Upper Juniata Division, Pa. Canal—in the place
of John Ross, removed.
A. S. HARRISON, Collector at Huntingdon, in
the place of John Cunningham, removed.
As neighbors, we congratulate Messrs. An
derson and Harrison on their good luck. Aside
from politics, we have no objections to oflllr to
either of them. At least we shall not condemn
them in advance.
We regret the removal of our friend Cum
lnings as Collector at Philadelphia, and if we
could have had a say in the matter, it should
not have been done. Mr. Cummings was not
only an eriellent officer, but is an exceedingly
social, clever gentleman. We want the Canal
Board to distinctly understand that his removal
is decidedly unpopular with us.
The Tariff.
Numerous petitions from the Coal and Iron i
regions of Pennsylvania, asking for the repeal)
of the ruinous Tnriff of 18.16, and the restore
-
lion of a protective Tariff, have been pouring
into Congress for some time past. We regret
that indications ye against any action on this
vitally important question at the present ses
sion. Among others we observe that Mr.
BLANCHARD recently presented the petition of
Henry M. Williams and sundry other citizens
of Centre county, in the State of Pennsylvania,
stating that the mining and manufacturing in
terests of the State are greatly depressed, and
threatened with entire prostration under the
low &nips on foreign goods under the present
tariff, and praying for an immediate modifica
tion of the present tariff, AO as to restore a home
market to the farmers, and to relieve the man
ufacturing interests from their present sutler
ing condition.
Tat insicsso have read with
much interest the report of the speech made by
life. Cornyn, in the House of Representatives,
on this much vexed subject; His argument' as
applied to the question of evidence, we think is
unanswerable, and it is expressed in a clear,
precise and perspicuous manner, such as gives
weight to reasoning, and impresses conclusions.
