ing. A good, speedy, and sure connexion
with the Central Rail Road, would in
crease our business, would afford an outlet
for our products, would bring amongst US
many strangers,-who would be attracted
here by the beauty of our town, and the
healthiness of the climaie-would enable
our merchants TO receive their usual sup
plies Of goods with despatch, would in
crease the price of property, would en-
courage manufacturing here, and around
US, and we do think, would be productive
of much good and little harm. The trade
would not pass by US, but here would be
the market and the point for transhipment.
Our town, would in reality, become de-
pot and its business would be augmented,
and not injured. We would like to see
both roads completed; and trust it may be
done before it is too late. There is dan
ger in delay: and they can both be made
if undertaken in the right kind of spirit.

sufficient TO lay the road with double
track, but from the above estimates should
be deducted the value Of materials a: pres
ent on the Portage Road. Thomas j..
Power, formerly Superintendent of this
road, estimated the value of materials ia
ken from l3 miles of the road that would
be avoided by dispensing with the five
western planes, at sl49,990. Estimating
the old materials on the same principle,
for 81 miles of the old road that would
now be avoided, embracing ten inclined
planes, depot and riggers loft at the Sum-
nit, and the estimate will stand thus:
200 tons of plate and edge
rails from planes, at $25
per ton $4,000 90
ITO tons defective edge rails
at S25 per Ton 1880 90
1900 tons edge rails, which
will answer to replace the
defective rails on such
parts of the old road as
been adopted with the
new lines. at $50 per ton 1872 600 90
1000 tons cast iron chairs,

SThomas Richie, Esq. the venerable
editor of the Washington "Union,' has
disposed of the same TO Major Andrew
j. Donaldson, formerly Gen. Jackson's
private secretary, and minister to Berlin
under James X. Polk. Major d. has as
sociated with him Gen. Rob't Armstrong,
late consul to Liverpool. Both gentlemen
are well known TO the Democratic party,
and have the experience and talents to in
crease the already popular character OF
this sterling Democratic paper. Mr.. Rit-
chic has been faithful servant in the
Democratic cause, has labored diligently
and asslduously 10 advance the interests
and measures of the party, has never been
found wanting in his devotion to its doc
trines, has suffered much pecuniary loss,
and at his advanced age of life is it any
wonder that, ''an old man wearied with
the cares of State" should resign the sit
uation so long held with SO much credit,
into hands of gentleman younger than
himself, and in whose ability and honesty
there can be no doubt. He will retire on
the 18th of April, assured of having done
his duty, and carries with him the esteem
and friendship of all msmbers of the par
ty, and we regret that it is to be so, yet in
his successors we have men who are de-
serving of the confidence Of the National
Democratic party of the United States.
We wish them all manner of prosperity,
and 10 their predecessor the happy, but
distant termination, of a well spent and
virluous life

report speaks for itself, and we take from
il the following extracts, and hope all per-
sons in favor of promiscaous banking
will read them Had the individual LA
bility clause been inserted in lis charter,
there would have been better state of
affairs existing, and the notes of this Bank
would have been circulating at par to this
time.
"The Bank of Susquehanna County
was incorporated in April, 1897, the capi-
tai stock to be one hundred thousand dol
lars. Prior 10 September, 1887, a COM
pany was formed for the purpose of taking
all the stock that was not wanted by resi-
dent individuals. and this company procu-
red ten thousand dollars from the Towando
Bank TO pay the 10 per cent required by
the act of incorporation. This was called
surplus stock. In November l643, the
directors authorized an assignment or
transfer of this surplus stock, amounting
10 SSl 500, TO the Bank, and that the
stock notes therefore should be cancelled.
This left SlS,200 stock held by individ-
uals. The eUidehce is clear that the sur.
Plus stock neUer tcGs paid in, and that
no certificates acere eUer issued therefore.
The whole transaction in relation 10 the
surplus stock was in violation of the law,
and the groundwork of the subsequent
failure of the institution.
s'Three loans were issued by the bank
TO individuals, two of these by authority
of the directors, and one by the cashier,
without authority. $4,000 were loaned
Seth III. Mann, cashier of the Canal Bank,
Cleveland, and no security taken. This
amount he still owes the bank, and is
wholly irresponsible, 100000 were loan
ed Ansel and ]. L. ST. John, of which
amount $4,000 was redeemed, leaving
Sl2, 900 to be adjusted. S65, 900 were
loaned Egbert A. Thompson, of Cincinna-
Ii, without the consent of the President |
and directors. This amount remains un~
accounted for, and he is believed to be
insolvent. These special bonds were
alone adequate cause for the failure of the
bank, being TO irresponsible persons lex
cept the loan to ST. John.) and without
any security The issue to Mann alone,
was more than double the actual capital
stock of the bank, and vastly beyond the
whole assets of the bank. The assets of
the bank at the time of the failure in lS49
was about as follows:
Specie, S42,56
Bank Notes, good. soc
G God debts, $4,000 90 I
Doubtful debts, $4,000 90
Claims taken by ST. John. l,I66 y
Personal Property, 100 90
S39,2l4 p
The amount due :depositors was three
five hundred and fify-fve doll
ars, and the whole amount of notes in cir
culation over two hundred thousand dol
ars. The greater part Of the fourteen
thousand dollars, marked doubtful above
will never be realized"

The estimate of VIM. S. Campbell,
Esq, Superintendent of The Portage Rail
Road. for motive power, trucks, cars, &C..
is for the present year, S222,6O %, and
for Repairs 500 1925, making total of
S2s6,431 %. The difference in work
ing the present road, compared with the
different lines to avoid the planes, will re-
suit in an annual saving TO the State as
follows:
Line No. l, GO feet grade, s45,l06
9, 54,9SS
3. s5 63,539
4, % 66, 1875
1t is believed that the estimated cost Of
either of the new lines will be sufficient 10
do the work. MIR. F., recommends the
making of a single track at the present
time, and says that with the necessary
sidlings five times The amount of tonnage
could be passed over a single track, that
is now passed over the present road.
Should this course be pursued, then the
aciua. cost of the different lines, deductIng
the old materials, would be as follows:

In speaking of the necessity oil this new
road, the correspondent of the Putsburg
Post says: The expe diency of the I'M
mediate appropriation of a sufficient a
mount, by the present Legislature, TO con-
sively demonstrated by the report, that |
cannot but think that unwilling as the
members may be to increase the State
debt, they will grant the request Of the
Canal Commissioners, and make the ap-
preparation" Less than 20 years the
saving in expenses would be sufficient to
build this road. Is it at all likely, unless
this road be made, that the Stale can con-
tinue the business of a transporter, and
compete with the Central Rail Road!
But in the event of the construction Of this
new road, would it not follow, that prop
erty holders at the Summit, and at other
points on the present road, would suffer
by the change? We think they would,
that their property would depreciate in
value, and it would be but fair and right
that the State would remunerate them for
any losses incurred by such 4 change.
TO many ii would be a severe loss, and
as the State by constructing the present
road has been the means of their settling
where they are, and making these i'm
provements, it would be It's duty 10 recon-
pense them all. Had the present road
not been considered permanent one,
would these persons have invested their
money in land and buildings that would
at some day be worthless. The Legisla-
ture should view the matter in its true
light, and if an appropriation is made for
the building of this road, and appropria-
ton should also be made to those persons
who lose by such an undertaking. All we
want is equal and exact justice TO every
one.

During the last week in the city ofNew York
three men have been condemned to death, and
one Woman to tho State Prison for five years,
all convicted of the crime of murder. In eve-
ry case the awful fate of these criminals was
owing to Incorporate indulgence in intoxicating
liquors. Chief Justice Edwards, in passing
sentence on them. well improved this circum-
stance for the benefit of those present at the
time:
Behold said no. addressing one Of the
