THE CHARLOTTESVILLE TRAGEDY
We are indebted 10 the Editors Of the Times
for the following statement OF facts, as detailed
at the Coroner's inquest held over the BODY o.
Young Glover. They are furnished by gentle
man in whom we have full confidence. Upon

blameless of The fatal consequences, and the
whole guilt thrown upon the wanton violence OF
the keepers. The outrage was marked by Zero

Mr. Stewart, the great Tariff champion from
Pennsylvania, at once sprung upon The DILL ana
moved lis rejection before Ii had been READ, al
though, il reply 10 Mr.. Bayly, he acknowledged ne
had not read it, and although his Mi. S!!s"artsl
party friends urged him TO withhold his unusual
motion, which was afterwards defeated by
large vote. This strange proceeding proves how
bitterly the bill will &c assailed by The Tariff
men.
Ii seems to be substantially the same as 'ne
plan prepared and furnished TO the committee oy
the Secretary Of the Treasury, the nature OF
which we have already explained TO cur readers
as Sc, forth by the newspapers. With The e1cep-
ton Of the duty OF IS per cent. on brandy, spi-
rit, and cordial., the duties range from fue 10
thirty per cent, (under which latter class are iron
and coal) The duties are all Ha ualorens. In
any year, should not the act yield revenue sum-

President is authorized to lay duty OF ten per

The greatest excitement prevades Pennsylvs'
MIA on the subject of The bill before her Lee'sla
ture, granting the right OF way 10 Pittsburg 10 tht
Baltimore and OHIO Railroad. A monster con
yen,ion of 5000 in favor Of the bill has jus
been held in Piusburg and was addressed By
VIM. Wilkins, Wilson McCandless and Waite
Forward, Esos. Th. resolutions denounce Phila
delphia for selfish and grasping policy In resis
ing the right Of way, which they attribute TO enor
nous speculalions OF Pbiladelphians in lands anc
investments in moneycd corporations in western
Virginia. They talk seriously and emphatically
of division OF the State, if their wishes be no
dence with the Baltimore Company to ascertain
whether Legislative action may not be dispensed
with on The unanimous cession Of the owners o
The soil, and 10 convey an assurance that, in such
event, the work shall be guarded against moles
talon at an outlay Of blood or treasure"
AS the last alternative, they call on Congress:
for an appropriation to construct railroad
across the Allegheny mountains to unite the va
tiers OF the Potomac a, Cumberland with those o.
the Ohio a. Piusburg and the establishment o
the same "as a pos. and military road, with a
view 10 the internal interests OF the country in
time Of peace, as we'll as lis defence in time O
war" A very poor argument for palPable
violation OF The Constitution, and the total ami
hila,ion Of all State sovereignty! The conven'
ton will re-assemb!e on The Alb Of July.
In the mean time, the Pennsylvania House O
Representatives have, by vote OF so 10 43
adopted an amendment, which makes the bill
