There has been a persistent ettOrt du ring the entire session, upon the part of the Democracy, to repeal the law for holding township apd borough ejec tions on the same day with, the general election in October; but the probabili ties are that the majority will give it another year's trial beti)re concluding to repeal it. ,The Legislature has finally fixed tip 7 on the 7th of A pill 'rot n nal tallaUt ll went ; and now the great subjectof diS- Cusslon and \ clisCoiti between the two bodies, is the appropriation hill; each branch, le., their way, undertaking to make a record for themselves Upon the question of retrenchment and reform; but I take it that a majority of the mem bers should reforin themselves, before they undertake the measure in behalf of the Commonwealth.

President Grant sent u special mes sage to Congress on the 28d instant, on the decline of American commeree.— He recommends . immediate action by Congress, for the encouragement of this great national interest. It is reported from Washington that the President is about to recommend Universal Amnesty for all the late Reb els.. Since the matter has gone so far:, this may be good policy.; but we think it is just as Well to "make baste slowly.". Mr. Sumner has introduced a bill in the U. S: Senate.to withdraw the frac tional currency from circulation.

We urge Mr. Sumner to move his proposition as an amendment to some bill thnt will have to pass, and call the Yeas and Nays. The act intended to provide for the Health and safety of coal 'wipers, has been approved by clovernor Geary;, and is now a law. The law is a lomestep in the right direction, and 'does credit. to the good intentions of the -Legislature. The bill prescribers certain regulations for'the safety turd health of thp work fen,; prOvides for the appointment of Board Of Examiners, who are to be practical miners, and "whose duty it is to inspect the mines, end see that the terms of the law are complied with.— If the mines are found not t 4 be in the condition required by thelaw, the courts have.the power to grant injunctions to 'suspe \ nd work until the law shalt be' comp Fed with.

We hope the law may serve to, prevent the recurrence of such . scenes as those of the past year. JERSEY , SHORE, PINE CREEK AND BUFFALO RAIL ROAD. We announced last week, the passage of a law to hasten the building and completion of this road. At this wri ting, we have. no information that the bill has been signed by tha, f,.74a.vd.-- fitir - ; - lint there Seems to be general be lief that it will be. The press is almost unanimously in favor of the bill. The enterprise seems to have' caught like wild-fire; and he would be a - bold man Who should now put himself against the tide of popular.endorsernent of this bill. It is but a few years since the Allegha nies were looked upon as an insurmoun table barrier to an easy and practicable communication Vvith the Great West through our State. , New York monop olized the transportation of freight and passengers upon her canals, and then upon her rail roads, through the lakes to the West, and through Now Jersey to the South. Citizens of this eerier' of our State scarcely ever thought of going West or South through our own State unless it were by rafts down the rivers, or l by packet oh the canals. We are totally and necessarily tributary to the Empire State; not because we had any greater admiration 'for her than our own, but because nature had set obsta cles in our way, which we had not then the knowledge orability to overcome. We went east and west through that state, because the communication was easier, cheaper, and more direct. In the early history of our county, the great majority of . our first settlers cam i from New York and the east. The moubtains , on our south-weit were an. impediment to the settlement of this enrity from the south. A few Penn sVvanians struggled into ,the Block house country ; but they formed a settle ment by themselves, and were identi fied in interest with Lycoming county. The same laws have, until the bbilding of the Northern Central rail road, shut outthe people of this county' from the metropolis of their own ptate ; and even since that road was built, it . has been. much 'easier for most of our ileople to go north than south. At' length the • Alleghanies 'were entseed by the Pennsylvania Central,' one of the best ' . construeted and best managed rail .roads in any country, and a work, which, but a short time before, was thought impiacticable if not impossible, by the best engineers of the country. It was claimed that the road, when bullt, would be of little use, as it was thought it would be impossible to tiansport he freight over it. The result is the audition of many millions dollars to the natural wealth of the State, by developmebt of her iron, coal, and manufacturing interests, and the building. lip of a great city at' Pittsburg, no w numbering, including the suburbs, over 200,000 inhabitants, and in adding Immensely to the, business, population and wealth of Philadelphia. Nevertheless, all the time this vast development haft been going on, a large portion of ithe northern and western part of the state, has still renaained trib utary, in good part, to the state of New York ; and this only for want of com munication. The proposed road will at once afford such communication n , riot only to , a large population in the Northern tier of counties, but also to the great West, via Buffalo and the lakes. 'By this route,' Buffalo will be eighty miles nearer Philadelphia than it is to New York ; and it will also , be nearer to New York by this route' than apy other. - The grad&of the road will be favor able for the transportation of heavy .freights; and with the vast resources in minerals and timber along the line, particularly the coal, both anthracite and bituinhious, and 'the lumber, the trains will go laden both ways, and the 1 permanent stleeeks of the road bo estab- . liehed 'for all time.

No State has so many miles of railroad, and none ear cols it in excellence of construction and complete.: noes of equipment; Take the map and you will see bow literally the locomotive, like a mighty shuttle, daily weaves its cities and hamlets, its valleys and uplands, its mines and farms, into the golden woof of prosperity of which the humblest and highest shall be partakers. To achieve this, private,enterpriso has done much, but not DIL— L is nearly fifty years since this Commonwealth,, under the lead of each men as Schultz, Sergeant, Lehman, Laycock, Scott, Mallory , and others, compeers of Clinton, and, imitating his example in the face of still ore formidable obstacles than those which confronted him, adopted that wise and liberal policy to which we owe the finest sys tem of internal communication and Commerce on the contimunt, nature and extent of territory be ing considered. By that policy, the, vast mineral wealth of the State has been measurably devel oped, and'int farthest bounds are I brought into daily communication. Admit, as some have oharged, that of the millions expended by the State upon canals and railroads, little remains to it in the nature of emoluments; for it is true that its enterprises hair's passed into private b •That when we refleot that in the appreciation of real estate values, by reason of this system, the Commonwealth is richer by tenfold the millions It expended, the wisdom of the investment be 'l3.oDles apparent. • Under the beneficent influence of these impro,vements, remote and isolated re gions have become prosperous; labor has been elevated, its rewards mado richer and' 'surer; the facilities for. religious and secular education have been multiplied;; and in addition to, increased_ wealth and its benefits, the workingmen" of the State' to-day occupy a position in the scale of culture not even dreamed of as Feasible forty . • years ago. a We have alluded to the great enteprises favored by this measure, as the'crowning work of a wise liberality. The Pine Creek road and • the Clear field extension especially deserve the appellation. The territory they will traverse has been com pletely isolated from the outside world, and the interests of the population have been with New York rather than with Pennsylvania. The old public improvements, at best, just touched its boiders. This conlliet of interests has not been desired. It was geographical. Capital, wisely employed, could alone overcome the alienation. Bat the appreciation of property in that region, is, after all, bat an incident of the enterprise. It will offer the shortest' line of transit from the lakes to the seaboard by the way of this city, and virtually control tlio trade which will flow across the continent uninterruptedly, when the North Pacifier Railroad shall be a fact. The :Press Bays : • The proposed route of the Jersey Shore, Nei' Creek and Buffalo road, affords an outlet for at least 300,000 acres of coal land, that would zither wise be, and now is, wholly excluded from mar ket, and the imp° may be said as to at least ono million aced of timber land. Yet, by the della opmont this road will afford, the coal from those lands may be transported by the shortest dis tance, at favorable grades, to Buffalo on the northwest, and to all the markets on the south „ A pe, east. - The quality of the coal is specially adapted for dm:nestle purposes, the generation of steam, and the manufacture of iron, Almost somi-hitumi nouk on the east, as you advance west, you reach the rich bituminous and cannel deals. Sixty miles at least of the length of the lino of this road pass through tliese coal fields, bordering it on either, side. The general policy of State development can not be too warmly commended. While, by con stitutional prohibition, *relations by the State, and State and municipal or dit, cannot be extended to such enterprises, and while Pennsyl vania is thus placed at a disadvantage with her great rival for the Western trade, Now York, with its lines of transportation, yet it is held by our Supreme Court that the Legislature is the guar dian of the securities deposited in the sinking fund, and may change those securities in their discretion, always provided the new ses t satiWg; Tor the Ming fund was created, viz: the payment of the State debt. ft ' 11 In this period of transition from an inflated paper ourreucy to specie payments, it cannot but be regarded as a great boon to all the interests of this State that the, amount of money thus pro posed to be extended in developing the resources I of the State, shall bp thrown into our channels of circulation, and thiik afford employment to thou sands of our people, stimulate industry, particu larly in our iron manufacturing departments, and supply the loss by depreciation consequent upon the change in the condition of the currency. If this road be built, it will be built soon ; and it is a most fortunate thing for our people, that the great outlay of money in constructing this and the Wellaboro and Lawrenceville road, comes at a time when there is likely to be a stringency in money matters. The building of these two roads willbe of great benefit; not only to the sections through' which they pass, but to the. whole countyA They will increase the assessed valuation of property in the county to a large amount, and thereby enable ua to meet the, ordinary expen ses of the county, and pay the balance of the county debt, with much greater ease thhn we otherwise could. In view Of all these considerations, it may well be said that a new era has dawned upon Tiogs. county. WELLST4ORo SCHOOLS.—We have been into the schools of this borough several times, the past winter, and think they aro all doing . well, 'What they need,-more than anything else; Is a doe Attention and encouragement from pa rents and others. It is a very strange thing, considering the inclination of most people to look to all matters which cost money, pretty closely,' that our people do not pay more attention to schools. This borough annually pays out from $l2OO to $l5OO, to keep its common schools in operation; and yet we venture to say [that not ono out of ten of the parents over visit the schools. They pay the taxes cheerfully, in most cases; but they seem to think their duty ends , there; and they allow their children to go to school, year after year, withont once going to see how they got along. Ilow parents can suffer .themselves to forego such a pleasure, saying no thing of their duty, is difficult for us to under stand. ,Yet we do understand, that they thein selves are absorbed, froth • day to day, in their own business and duties, and feel that they have not the time to devote to such an object. The only way to do, is to take the time; and when any who do, return to their usual employments, they feel that the time thus spent is nothing in compaiison with the pleasure they have received. l We are too apt to grow into a life of monotony ) and, absorbed therein, to 'deny ourselves the little diversions which make up the better part of life, after all, But tiiiS,pleasure and:profit are not alone re. ilex—they do not alone benefit the actors; they have a bettor use—in arousing a spirit of emula tion in school. Go into a juvenile school; see how the eyes brighten, and the little souls speak out a determination to excel, through their beam ing faces ! All elated, with a secret resolu tion to deserve commendation, and A wish to compliment their teacher by an appearance of good discipline and training, how their little hearts throb, as they take their places in the class! Here comes in the highest pleasure, per haps, to the visitor. What inimitable graces do soma of' the/kale charms put on! what romping antics do some others half display, from a very running over of the child! See them toe the mark 'Some prim; .some dignified, not . know -- 1 ing it; some diffident and awkward, but not the less deserving, it may be; some rough and Ill mannered, from want of proper home-training. How eagerly they catch a word ! ROW molls the little bosom with cruel disappointment, when a mistake is made, or opportunity for advancement lost! Then hear them number off, and, when dismissed, give vent to the smothered merriment of 'the time, in many it laugh, and play, and freak 6f childhood, which awaken echoes from the past of every child at school. Como good people, go to school it is never too late, labile the school lasts. It will do you more substantial good than the best sermon or lecture; for it is a walk with nature, under a guise you do not see every day. Go, and sea what use is made of the heavy taxes you perfer schools ; look shout, sad; make suggestions to the Directors. I_DD :not put all the responsibility upon. them 'do your 'putt. D!'net take the school is a matter of course, like, the rising of thelmu, that never needs attention., Encourage the tea cherOnnke the pupils thirds that schools are of some importance, and do not leave , them alone and um:tared for, to lite as you are concerned, while nt school. There are their characters and destinies in life moulded and directed. , Ho, li porteritAlienAhatile tendency ihotild be in the right direction, and that the parent should see that it is so ! The schools will oloto about the 'first of May. They are very full. ' ,Something will have to be done to enlarge the aecomModations, very soon. The Trustees of the Academy are.willing to trans far that institution to the district, provided the limits of the borough may bo to extended :as to wake it needful. In this way, rt school May be built up here in a few, years, equal "to an acade my. It is a source of regret that it has not been done, or that something has not been done to build up a good school hero; before now. There is no reason why parents should bo compelled to rend their sons and daughters away, 3n their ten der years, to fit them for the college and semi nary. Wo have enough within our own limits, who are thus sent away, to form the nucleus of a good school; and by making provision for the reception of pupils from title surrounding coun try, it might be made a p,iormaneast success. The bills introduced by Mr. Niles are intended to ac complish this result. There is opposit'n ontho part of those residing within the limits proposed to bo added to the borough. Mtn think such opposition is unwise; but of that they are the judges. They need ts good school here as much as any of us e and when they are brought within the borough, their interests will be identical with ours. They have property : In no way eon they do More to enhance the value of their proporty,than by aiding in the establishment of a good school hero. Be shies this, in this era ° of progress in our tnidei , the borough will need•more room. It is not ne cessary totake in large tracts of land, used- only for farming purposes, perhaps; but the , settle ments immediately about us should be included. We once heard of a man who opposed the build ing of a depot upon his farri ; for "don't you see"! said a friend who wished to buy his farm cheap, "if you do allow this i •the neat thing yon know, they will be laying ont ,streets all over your farm, and making city lots of hem. Then what would your farm ho worth?" Mr. Niles has introduced two bills of considerable local importance: one proposing to authorize the conveyance of, the Wellsboro Academy property to the school district of this borough ; the othler extending the limits of the horough so,as to take in Germantown and other lands about the village. We call attention to the matter so that our people may take measures to get? the matter fairly before our Representatives. There is some opposition to the • Move ment outside the borough. Judge, Bradley of NeW jersw ,was confirmed by the Senate, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, on the 21st. that. • The Southern Senators opposed this confir mation on the ground of locality, but most of the Democrats came to the res cue and be was confirmed, quite unex pectedly to his friends. He is said to be a fit man for the place, and we do not look upon residence as any disqual ification or reasonable objection. Gulien 0. Verplank, a well known authOr, died.at his residence in N. Y., on the 18th. inst., in his 84th. year. Lie was native of New York city, and had lived there the moat of his long life. He graduated at Columbia College, end soon took high rank as an author. He studied law, was' a pro fessor in a Seminary, and in 1833 was; 1 but we think was never elected to any political office, save the one mentioned. He was a leading candidate of the Whig party in the oily election of 1834, but was defeated by a very small ma jority. After`this, he betook himself to private life ; and has since stood among the foremost men of letters in our country. THE FUNDING BILL. Senator Sherman's Funding bill, as it passed the Senate, provides for issu ing bonds in three series, each of, $4OO, 000,000 for the purpose of refunding the public debt. The first series are 10-40 s at 6 per cent. The second series are 15.40 s at per cent. And the third series 20.40 s at 4 per cent. The bonds to be of a not less denomination than $5O, registered and coupon, exchanges-. ble for the 0 per cents now in existence at par values, and redeemable in coin . within minimum and mexinium peri ods which give name to the securities.' The interest to be paid semi-annually. The last series of four per cents may be, increased beyond the $400,000,000 in the discretion of the Secietary of the Treas ury, provided that such increase does not increase the aggregate indebted . "'tbs. The fourth section provides that neither the, bonds .so issued, nor the annual income therefrom, shall be tax ed for any purpose whatever. The ef ' feet of this provissiowill be to cause these securities to take preference of all others as a permanent - investtnen ; though the apparent inequality of tax ation so contemplated Will constitute a strong . objection against the section when it reaches the House. The bonds are to be negotiated at home and abroad through agents appointed by the Secre tary of the Treasury, the 7whole cost not to exceed one-half of one per centum of the entire amount, including prepar ing plates and issuing. It is further provided that the sum of $150,000,000 anually shall be appropriated to pay ment of the interest and principal 'of the debt ; and after October next regis tered bonds not less than one thottsand dollars, issued under this act, must be isubstitutedtiy the national banks as de posits for security of their circulating notes, in lieu of bonds bearing higher rates of interest. This provision will be resisted by the national banks with out doubt, but since theißenate could not be brought to strike i t out, the Heine is not likely to amend it in that partic i ular. The last 'section provides thet any banking association, under the Na tional Currency act may deposit such bonds and receive circulating notes to the amount of 80 per cent. thereof, without reference to the limitations of that act touching the aggregate eircula- Mph of national banks; provided, how ever, that for all circulating notes so issued,' an equal amount of United States notes shall be destroyed.—The .Day.
