PennsyIyauIa and her Public Works,

The pennsylvania House of Delegates have
passed bill for the sale Of the "Main Line of the
Public Works from Philade pha to Pttsburg" IL

now under consideration in the Senate with every
probability that it will pass that body. The subject

State Oar exchange papers from Pennsylvania, ex.

of accomplishing that object.
Pennsylvania furnishes an example in this respect
by which other states may well profit and particular

system Of interna improvements aud expended large
sums from the state treasury in their prosecution,
The taxes were necessarily greatly increased and be.

the management pursued by the state. her public
works fell short Of yielding suicien. income to pay

OF getting rid Of this annual accunula ton of debt the
alternative left is that Of the sale Of those works to
private companies upon the best terrnsshe can make

the construction Of works Of Internal Improvement
but to show the danger Of undertaking them at tho
expense Of the public treasury and under the man
agement Of n set Of State officers. The Internal I'm
