TIKI TwESTr-Tu1En PsAIH-What quiver
full of arrows for the Christians use against all
his foes, is that beautiful twenty-third Psalm.
Let us read it:
"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want;
He maketh Inc to lie down in green pastures; !;
be leadeth me beside the still waters; lie rcstor
eth my soul; He leadeth me i'll the paths of
righteousness for His name sake. Yea, though
I walk through the valley Of the shadow of death,
! will fear NO evil, for Thou art with me; Thou
preparest table before me in the presence Of
INV nv enemies; thou annointcst my head with oil;
NV cup runneth over. Surely goodness and
mercy Shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in thehouse Of the Lord forever.

such being the case, q stockholder had right
to resist its acceptance by the company.
Mr.. IIirst then cited cases, showing that

powers therein conferred and that any other
exercise of power is illegal.
Mr.. Campbell commenced the argument
on the part of the respondents. Mr.. Camp.
bell, after referring TO the disadvantages OF
short notice and of time for preparation which
those whose place it is to answer applications
for injunctious, are in the nature OF the pro.
cess subjected to, he proceeded to speak of
the question before the court, ns appealing
to the grave exercise Of the discretion OF this
court.
The bill flled by the stockholder Mr.. Mott,
is nothing more than o bill TO restrain eompe-
iition at the sale of the NJ ain Line. The 9TH
er is bill flcd by the Canal Commissioners,
and assumes three grounds First. That the
sale cannot be made to corporation. Sc
cond. The Legislature cannot equally tax
corporations; aud Third. That II the amend.
ment be accepted by the corporation. ii would
be invalid. There has been no argument to
prevent the purchase by individual purcha-
sers. The bills filed are to prevent the pur-
chase by individual purchasers. The bills
| fled are to prevent the purchase by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. and to pre-
vent competition at the sale. The improve
| ments are to be sold, and are advertised for
| sale, far and wide, and people, upon that ad-
| vertisement may come FROM dfereDt sections
of the country to bid ct that sale. But u bill
is 6ed for special injunction, on six days

that in one bill we ne told that this worl
will swamp us, and in the other We are tol'
that it is magnificent enterprise. The tim,
for deciding this question has not yet arrived
and may never arrive, because, if private pur
chasers make the purchase, then these bill
will fail Of their desired effect. The bona Ed

NORTHERH CENTRAL RAILROAD.

The unfavorable state Of the weather has
retarded the completion Of this important
Improvement. The track has been laid down
over the whole road up to the Trevorton
bridge, md it was intended to commence
running up to that point on the first of the
present month. The recent heavy rains.
however, swelled one Of the small streams
near Millersbug, and carried away a portion
of one OF the bridges, which has necessarily
postponed the opening Of the road, which will
now take place on or about the lst of July.
The cars will then connect with the Packet
boats at Port Trevorton, IA miles below
Northumberland. The unfinished portion OF
the road between Trevorton bridge and Sun
bury, distance Of ten miles, is progressing
rapidly. A strong force is at work, and the
company have resolved to complete it as
early as possible.
A letting for the extension OF the road
through Baltimore and the construction Of a
tunnel will take place on the lst Of July.

4th. 1t would certainly be neither just or
legal, TO make our correspondent, or any one
else pay up his stock in full, while others
paid but part. Yet We have.heard IT stated
that this has occurred in the organization OF
some banks now in existence. Persons anx-
ous TO become large holders Of the stock, for
the purpose Of controlling the management
Of the bank, often subscribe more shares than
they are able to carry. and consequently
throw their notes into the bank to pay the bal
ance, or the amount OF their. .defcency-thus
making the bank carry load, under which
its reputation not only suffers much, but
which may ultimately prove its ruin. This is
the wild cat system adopted by bank specu.
lators. Banking should be on a solid basis,
cash paid in, and not mere promises to pay.

that without depositors it is difficult matter
