Wit the whole seven and one-half Mill-
•r,° ;
the same lain deSignates as
"the : *hole amount sales to lie paid
in the bonds of • the company." .And if
hnytliing crminake this plainer, it is thC
fact that the same Men ; at the samsises
sion. of. the Legislature, passed these
constitutional amendments of 1857, and
also the act for the sale of the main line;
and they naturally usedthe same words
and expressions to express the same
ideas. The words of the Constitution
have already been quoted, and the 12th
section of the net for the sale of the
main line; aproved 16th May, 1857, de
olares;,.
" That the entire prcieeeils of the sale
of said-troin line shall be paid to the
sinking fund, and applied to the pay
ment of the State debt."'
- Surely it cannot be necessary to argue
this question further. It is very clear
that the framers of the Constitution in
tendd that the whole or the proceeds
of th public works should go into the
sink ,g - fund, and Should be appropria
ted't no other purpose than, the pay=
'men of the public debt ; and the prac
tice of the 'Government sinee 1657 i in
all its departments, has conformed to
these constitutional 'ilcquirements. No
Manipulation of . wqrds; no artfully

. ,
, : Having thus demonstrated the uncon
stitutionality , of-the proposed law, I
mi n g i ni-well be,spated the discussion of
Its eVedlency..
. , It ii po,s.-.sible, however, that different
viewiAntly be entertained an to the legal
ques:tillt involved. ' I have .therefore
deetnea it proper to submit the toilbw
inivpiepositions, as 'conclusively estab
lishing the inexpediency of this scheme:
• First. By the terms : of the act, the
State ,is .to exchange six millions, of
bond, ($6, 000, 000) • secured. by a mort
gage
upon., n. road, worth many times
that amount—torsixillions of bonds
to be Issued by a epmpany as yet nnor
'ganized and "Xhose'road is not yet com
menced.' - '::

Second. T e Contract of guaranty re- ,
quired by the bill is illusory, - for it, is
uncertain ivnois to exectite`lt; and If
entered into :by responsible parties, it

, Om. op d. eciojpnl en t , a i the ,cootempla

road is to be ,constructed and equipped,
is wholly, unprovided_ for. Upon this'
vital point the, bill is entirely and omi
nously ,silent., . - ~,,,
plifq. The interest upon the ph.c
mill
ions of bondito be ; surrendered, is pay
able, aceording to a receht decision 'of
the SuPreme Court of the . Thaited States,
in gold. The interest on the bonds to
be reeeived would •he payable in cur—

hundred and sixty thousand dollarsper.
-annum ; and under existing laws l en
titied• to receive that amount annually,
until the whole be• paid. If the eon
tract'of guaranty mentioned in the bill
were performed to the.letter, the State
could only.receive three hundred thou

and have the right to, expect thaCthe

Eighth. This bill 'proposes to, remit
'the - State to the &mit of a policy. of
'public irnproVerd,ents by,Whichin year's
past she identitiOd herself with enter
prises of = doubtful 'expediency, and
.which her citizens have with great nue+
nimity condemned. •
Ninth. On What sound principle of
'Abbe policy, equality, or juStice, can
all the securities of the State be distrib- ,
uted to these four railroads, to• the ex
clusion of the hundred, others in ,the
Commqnwealth equally , meritorious,
and to the exclusion also of all the oth
er interests of the State? What haVe
the great agricultural,' mining, manu
facturing and other interests done, or
°milted to do, that they •elaotild be de
nied =all participation in the public
bounty?
Other objections to thist measure
might be stated, but thate already giv
en are considered sufficient to satisfy
every impartial mind that the pro Posed
scheme Is as gross a violation' of the
Constitution as of sound policy.
It is therefore most respectfully sug
gested that the bill be reconsidered in
the light of these objections, which
May', not have been fully 'presented du
ring the few days occupied in the dis
cussion and passage of this act.
Do not smil - .3 at the singularity of my'
theme, dear readers; for there are peo
ple whom one occasionally meets within
the world who are in a state/of perpetu- ;
al fidget. Every thing goes wrong with_
them, they are always in trouble. Now,
the weather is too warm, and then, too
cold ; the dust blows In their eyes, or
it is that. horrid rain, or dismal
They never saw such a summer . ; not a
day of fine weather. There will be no
corn this season ; or' wheat will certain
ly be scorched to death. Then, too,
fidgety ,people are never well ; they
have generally a headache, or spasms,
or are nervous, and cannot even be com
fortable in their own way, without trou
ble. Most of their friends are very ill,
and all the children of their acquaint
ance are threatened With measles, or
mumps, ,-or whooping cough. These
people are curiously solicitous about the
health of everybody. This one is cau
tioned not. to drink: too much cold wa
ter ; another not tO sit in the draught;
anbtlier to. wear.ifisncels;—and they
hive great doctorsat tjueir fingers' ends,
w /!cli they can cinietOn their support.
Th offer Ton relipes!for,draughp and
liniments; and, yon would believe
them, your very life depends on taking
their adviee . gratiS, forthwith.
The fidgety- person reads the neW'spa
per, and is in a. ‘ ferrocnt'about that mur
der; everybody is - trea€ed_toan account
of it. Or somebody's house has been
broken into, and a constant fidget is
kept up for a time :about theirs. If a
cat's whisper is heard in the house in
the night, it is a thief. If an 'umbrella
is missing ; a thief has taken it--forget,-•
ting that,an umbrella is an article that
is always borrowed,.and never returned;
The outer dobrs 'are - furnished with
latches, new ,bars and bolts are provi
ded, and all possible expedients are re
sorted to keep out the dreaded thief.
Or there is a smell of fire in the house.
Forthwith it is traversed from cellar to
garret, and a voice comes from below—
" It, is only Willie burning a stick."
Now you are told of a thousaißl acci
dents, deaths and burnings, originating
in burning sticks. Willie is !petrified
and horror-stricken, and is haunted by
the terror of conflagrations. Bridget le i
cautioned to be careful of the clothet
horse, and her ears are "often startled:
with the cry, "Bridget, there is surely,
something singeing."
TheAdgety person sits Upon thorns,'
and likes to perch her anditorsu c pon the'

ears are bored, afid their teeth set on'

their hearts. They are mallet to shake
hands with misery,•and alzhost long for
sonic, real sorrow, as a relief.
Fidgety persons make •it a point to
get out of humor upon every occasion,
either in public or private. If one ques
tion la at rest, they start another; and
they wear themselves to the bone, in
settling th6rilfairs of everybody,—that

And then the robber, walking sl ly
'forward, stopped fly° horses, tol he

stepped out; to hand him his purse, and
then to He down on hia'hands and face

While all this drama , was heing enac
ted, the robber chief kopt shouting to
his assistants not to fire unless there
wad some resistance; not to fire, unless
they should get his signal. Thui, one
- by -one, he handed 'all the passengers
out, each giving up his purse as if it
were a ticket, and then goink and lying
upon the wet grass, side by side .with
the guard. Winn -the diligence was
empty, our highwayman retired with •
all the-moveable Property he deigred to
possess himself of, and escaped through
the wood.
The most amusing part of the story
as, that among the travelers were sev
eral officers fully armed, who surren
dered their swords at discretion, au
joined the other dupes on the grass.
la well to add that the robber was ulti- .
mately apprehended, and the greater,
part of the stolen property was found
upon him.
Another very extraordinary robbery,
was one which has only recently been
detected. If it has less adventure in it
than the other, it certainly has more
system and ingenuity. The enterprise
in this case was also highly thought of
amongst his brethren, and was well
known to professional thieves as "Jack
in the Bpx." His chief residence was
in the capital, but 11i:5' had offices for his
business in wady other towns. Sis
system was this :
He had a box so constructed that he
could lie down in ft-with ease, and•rely
upon always having plenty of fresh air.
It could also contain provisions, tools,
false keys, a lantern, &c., and the real
mode of opening it was from the inside.
Jack,•having caused himself to tie pu
rled alive in this coffin, would get it
booked, say from Chester to Eubtfm;by
a goods train,,and carefully lahelled,
" This side up ; to be kept till . called
for." The box was always put in a
train that arrived at the station at night,
and was accordingly stored till called
'for the following day. It, was in this
Interval that the robberies were com
mitted.
Wheal the whale !station was shut up,.
the porters dismissed, and the place in
darkness, Jack emerged from his box,
lit his lantern;'and set to work.. - He get
out his tools and his kegs, and took his
time, for he had plenty of time to take.
We all know what an insecure thing
the lock of a trunk is, and how nearly
' all keys are made on the same pattern.
They did not afford' much trouble to the
robber ; he 9pened box after box, un
packing thei with great care and tidi
ness—for long practice had made - him
perfect—aud‘selecting as keepsakes the
articles that were most. valuable, most
portable, and most 'easily disposed of.
With these gleanings he filled the box
in which he had himself come up to
town, arid then lay in concealMent till
the morning. The stores ., *ould then
be opened, porters would come in to re
move goods, and Jack would cbooSe his,
own time to effect his •escape. • •'•
Later in the day',he would call' for a
parcel that had t . trr!vecl from Chester by
the last goods tram of the preceding
night, and that was directed to be called
for; ho weuld•take it away with him in
a cab, having first paid all_ the railway
charges upon it. /
But the day came when this little
" coup" was made for the last time, and
it was - a policeman, and not his box,
that Jack found waiting for hini on ap
iilleatien;
The governor of acounty jail showed
me a Collection, of photographs of
all the prisoners who had ever been in
his charge—" that is," said he' of all
except one." The honorable exception
was our friend Jack ; he positively de
clined to be photographed. Re'said,
with some shrewdness, that it' would
ruin his future prospects.—Caisell'a

Go to Work
The idea of "respectable employ
ment" is the rock, npon which thous
ands split, and which stbipwreek them-.
selves and all who depend upon them.
All empleyments are alike respectable
that bring honest gain. The laborer
who is willing to turn, his hands to any
thing, is as respectable as the clerk .or
draper store tender. 'lndeed the man
who is ready to work wherever Work of
fers,
whatever it, may be,' rather than
lie idle and beg, is by. far a more respec
table man.than one who - terns aphis
nose at hard labor, wearies his 'friends
with his complaint that Be can find no=
thing respectable' to do, pockets their
benefactions without thankfulness, and
goes on from day to day, a useless, lazy
grumbler., The only remedy for him,
is to arise and go out and seek employ
ment, throw the falseidea of respecta

ality.a respectable man, by becoming a
