THE TONNAGE FAX ONCE MORE.

The Hollidaysburg Standard processes to
see nothing in our reply two weeks ago to
the point except our naked assertion that
there is likelihood the freight on some
articles would be reduced in case of a re-
peal, and AYERS that unless it can be salts
fed that repeal will be followed by cor
responding reduction in freights, it will not
yield its opposition. That paper also IN
sists repeal would be simply "leglslating
that amount out of the State treasury into
pocket of the company, and the deficit IN
the ravennes thus created would have to be
made up in some other form OF taxation
Our friend up there is evidently indisposed
TO argue the question of justice or the
principle of taxing trade, both OF which
he eyades altogether, but acts with much
tenacity on the maxim '.Get what you can,
and all you get hold" And this is about
all that can be said in favor of the State
retaining this tax since the sale of the
main line, given to 1t TOO by quippie OF
law. for had the last legislature repealed
the tonnage tax separate and apart from
the bill for selling the main line, the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court would have rem
dered it legal, and the intention of the
Legislators been carried out. With those
who hold it as a rod over the railroad COM
pany, it is almost useless to argue, but be-
lieving that our propositions, which we
again append, are unanswerable on that
side, we challenge any advocate of that tax
to answer them affirmatively with even a
shadow of right, justice, or precedent:
lst Is domestic trade proper subject of taxation by
the State!
81 The consideration for which any specific tax was
levied having passed is IL right TO continue such
taxation In part of the State onlyf

Poisoning Case ~ PbaadeitAia.-A curl.
Gus case of alleged poisoning has been under
examination in Philadelphia, during the past
week, before Alderman Enue. A young man
named Robert b. kirkpatrick was charged
with attempting to poison the family of his
brother, Edwin kirkpatrick, residing in Arch
street, below Broad. About month ago a
package was handedin at Mr.. +. Kirkpatrick s
door, which on opening proved to contain a
very handsome pie, b airing card with this
inscription For Mrs. +. kirkpatrick, from
Kate" Mrs. K. had frequently received pies
from her aunt Kate, but she did not recognize
the writing of her aunt. The card was
thrown away, and the pie cut the next day at
dinner. A little son Of Mr. f.. X, eating a
piece, remarked to his mother that it had
medicine in it. The remainder Of the pie
was not eaten, but placed in the hands Of
skilful physicians for examination, and it
was found to contain arsenic. The accused
was held in s., 900 bail.

Foreign News.

The summary of foreign news presents
several matters of interest. Parliament
was to have assembled on the 4th inst
The Bank of England had reduced its rate
of discount to four per cent, and further
reduction was anticipated. Later despatch
es from India had been received, but the
news was of little importance. No fresh
outbreaks had taken place, but several reg
iments hitherto loyal were suspected. Mr..
Commissioner Yek, having returned "an
insolent answer" to the ultimatum of the
French and English, a speedy attack upon
Canton was contemplated. Mr.. Reed, the
American ambassador, had vainly solicited
an interview within the city, which Yek
was willing to give him outside of the walls
The Christians in Cochin China were being
prosecuted violently, and the country was
in a state of the greatest confusion.
The congratulatory addresses from the
army to Louis Napoleon were worded so
strongly that even the Moniteur does not
print them all in full. Some of the reei-
ments call violently for leave to pursue
the conspirators to their haunts." 4 de-
cree, announcing the intention of the Gov
ernment to put a stop to religious contro-
versy in the columns of the French press,
had been published in the Moniteur. The
FIVE new marshals in command of the army
of the Seine had been selected. The
French Foreign Ministers are reported to
have demanded of the British, Belgian,
Swiss and Sandman Governments the adop-
ton Of certain measures to prevent further
attempts to assassinate the Emperor Ac-
cording to despatch from Naples, the IA
nous basso Lablache, premature report of
whose deeease some time since brought out
notices of his life in the American Journals,
died on the 23d ult. 4 plot against the
life of the King of Naples, said to have
been concocted by Frenchmen, had been
discovered. Rumors of other conspiracies
in Italy were current Russia has it in
contemplation, it is said, to restore the ma
rine stations on the Circassian coast, and
to build anew Sevastopol. Serious distur-
Dances had broken out in Bosnia.

Singular Movements Of Catholics.--A Yer
mont correspondent writes to the Congrcga-
tionalist that, under the name of a Spiritual
Retreat" there has been held in the Catholic
Church, St. Mary's, of Burlington, Vt, a
real "protracted meeting" attended with
much of the interest that marked such meet
ings in Evangelical churches, several years
since The exercises of the Retreat were
conducted, not by the Bishop and resident
Priests, but by what we should call Evange-
lists-known in Catholic phrascology, as 1.-The
Rev. Fathers Walworth, Hewitt and Des-
camp" The TIVE first are well known in
England and New York, from the Protestant
and Evangelical dcscent--W Walworth being the
son eff the distinguished layman, Chancellor
Walworth, of New York, and Hewitt of the
well known divine by the same name.

1t made its appearance in protracted meet
ing among the Methodists at Indian Grsye
The ministers who conducted the meetings
moved them from Indian Grove to Ayoca, and
brought with them FIVE or six jerkers. and
thus the eUntagion commenced at the latter
place. Our informant was present at several
of their meetings in Avoca. and describes the
scene as very exciting. From fifty t. hun
dred were jerking at the same time. Their
hands, shoulders, feet and head would be
violently thrown into the most grOtesque and
painful shapes. The women's bonnets would
fly of, their hair become dishevelled, and in
some instances snap like q whip. In some
instances it attacked unbelieycrs, and uncon-
yerted men who tried to resist il by folding
their arms and wrapping them tightly about
their bodies, but in spite Of themselves their
shoulders, first one and then the other, would
be jcrked back, till they lost all control Of
themselves.
