Cause for Western Emigration.
Prom Ms Philslslphis q. .. 0ssotte.

FROM tno kouS0otPuIo -. n OeS[ss0'
Early last season ". felt satisfied that the
excessive speculation in western lands and
town lots was quite likely to injure the
cause Of emigration and in various arti-
clss. written and published at the time. We
earnestly demonstrated with those residents
Of the old States who were running Wild
after western investments. BY the annual
report of the general Land Office We find
that ct the time We were predicting rsae-
ton in the business. it had already begun.
This 10 proven by the fact that the receipts
from land sales for the fiscal year were
enormously in the rear Of the preceding
When the great commercial revulsion 90
Cured in the autumn it was Immediately
said that tho West would DO hopelessly but
back by it. Looking more closely at tho
tendency Of things. We took the contrary
ground, and urged that spur would be
given to western emigrants passing west
ward over all the leading lines Of travel
fully sustaines the belief that the excess Of
population in the East is seeking vent in
the new States and Territories. That there
will be general movement in the same
direction next spring and summer, is shown
by the st. Paul Minnesotian in the following
paragrah:
Next spring will undoubtedly see great
emigration to the Western States and Ter
rltories, as it has always succeeded d finan-
cial rev olution in the East In the spring
of 1858, after the gloomy fall and winter Of
1851 the immense emigration to Kansas
and Minnesota was undoubtedly augment
| ed by that cause The rule will, beyond
doubt, hold true in the present instance,
and next season large increase Of emigra.
tion into Minnesota can be safely predicted.
Thousands Of families. almost ruined by the
mi" at he E3.t and seeine nc, chance to
heritage Of the poor man, the domains OF
the West. Mechanics and africans, by ar.
mics almost, thoroughly disguised at the
events of the past six months, will, too on
the approach of new season, seek more
promising field in some of the new towns in
.he Mississippi Valley"
| This will give fresh start to the trade
Of the whole country. A large emigration
will enable the Western business men to re-
treve their own losses and pay their debts
to the East. 1t lie, however, to be hoped
| that the ruinOus speculation in farms and
town lots will not be resumed in it's former
insane etyle, to detract from the whole
| some effect Of the movement. We do not
well see how it can, as almost everybody
has suffered too much in the revulsion to be
| able to engage in new schemes of the kind.
But it is proper to warn the public that nc
money is now to be made in these enter.
prises.

The NEBRASKA WAGON Road
The interior Department has dates of
the 18th ult., from Mr.. Geo. l.. Sites,
Superintendent Of the Nebraska wag-
on road. He reports that the opera
tions in the construction of the bridges
have been somewhat retarded by the
frequent rains, and by spell of sick
ness with which he was attacked.
Eleven bridges have already been erec-
ted, and thirteen framed ready for erec-
ton. If no extremely cold weather
occurs, Col. Sites expects to complete
in a short time all tho bridges to be
constructed between Dacotah City and

ErThe President and the Secre-

HThe President and the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury have suggested
she propriety Of a law by Congress
which will enable creditors Of . bank
ing corporation to compel such an IN
stitution upon failure to meet its obi
cations, to make IN immediate sppll-
cation of its means to its debts. Tho
opposition press cry out in chorus:
"This is al extreme measure, An ex-
traordinary recommendation, q dan
Rerous exercise Of power, q delusive OF
pedlent."
Now tho law OF the State Of New
York, in regard to banking incorpora-
ton is simply bankrupt law-snd
has 20 been defined by chancellor
Kent, and is copied from the most ap-
proved statutes Of Bankruptcy. 1t de-
fines what shall be an act Of Bank
ruptcy; how creditors may proceed,
and how the courts shall act, to pro-
cure an equitable distribution OF the
assets. Congress could pass no more
stringent law than that Of that State,
but We sincerely trust Congress will
pass . similar one that it may extend
over the entire territory comprised in
the United States, and enforce it most
rigidly through the Federal Courts
And - Banks are the creditors O
Banks, we have great reason to be-
lieve that such q project would be-
come very popular among oil men o

now ready to answer such proper questions as
may be put to him by the committee.

New WEAPoN.-It is reported that a compa-
my has been organized is Boston, with cap
gital stock of one million dollars, to manufac-
sture PettingilPs Geographic revolving pistol,
new invention, which claims to combine, in
"a special degree, simplicity, strength, and
fTapidity ofexecution. 1t is said to be an ex-
traordinary weapon, and is designed to super
sede all other revolving pistols, and that it will
be adopted by the Navy and Army. 1t is al
lodged that the pistol is selfcocking-an i'm
yportant improvement-and that it can be fred
six times in second and half of time. The
hammer is enclosed and there is no strain on
the main spring except at the moment of dis
charge. There are but seven pieces in the
lock, two less than musket lock, ane so sim.
pie that blacksmith can repair them.

legislature.

In the Senate, on Thursday, rule was adj
opted, which provides that no Senator when
in joint convention of the two Houses shall
engage in any business than that for which
said convention was called. The rule pro-
hibitng Senators from voting on questions in
which they were interested was taken up,
and the votes called--ayes %, nays 5. the
Democracy having bolted, leaving the Senate
with out quorum.
In the House. on Friday, the resolution in
structing the committee to report an amend
ment to the tax law, authorizing the dcduc-
ton Of personal Indebtedness, from the amount
liable TO assessment, was taken up when
long debate ensued, in which Mr.. DENLY said
"that as he understood the theory Of taxation,
it was in payment Of protection at the hands
of the State. Under the proposition Of the
resolution, vast amount Of property in COM
merce, protected by the State, would pay
nothing for that protection. Again:-How
would we reach our Railroad Companies?-
much oftheir stock is owned abroad--in Lon
don. Because of the great Indebtedness OF
railroad companies eff bankers, of merchants
they would be almost exempt from taxation
Yet all of these require more protection from
the State than any other classes. Credit
was capital, and like all other kinds O
capital, it ought to be taxed.
| The Attorney General of the State sent il
his opinion as to the States liability for thC
Gramercy and Shawnee notes. We have no
space to give even a synopsis Of the opinion

bound to redeem the currency of the banks
