The Railroad Case.

COMMONWEALTH vs.. PENNSYLVANIA RAILRO D
CoMPANY-As this case has made considerable
noise iii the Legislature as well as in the com
munity generally, itmay be interesting to oar
readers to have a correct history of it. This
Company was incorporated by the Legislature
of Pennsylvania by Act Of General Assembly
approved April 18th, 1916 By the 22d sec
ton of the said act of incorporation it is provid-
ed that all tonnage, of whatsoever description
except ordinary baggage of passengers, loaded
or received at Harrisburg or Pittsburg and
carried over said road more than twenty miles,
between the 10th day Of March and lst day of
December in each and every year, shall be
subject to a toll or duty, at the rate of five
mills per mile for each two thousand pounds. y
&c
BY supplement approved the same day, it
is provided that if the said Company shall at
any time fail to pay the toll or charge on ton
mage g., tie same sbaH be and re0,ain lien on
the property cf said Company anil shaH hare pre-
cedeace 0rer all other liens or membranes there
on antapaid. BY an Act approved 9th of
March, lS48, the above tax of five mills per
ton per mile, from the 10th of March to the
lSt Of December in each year, was changed to
three mills per ton per mile for the lrh0le vgar,
with proviso that within two years after said
road was finished, if the three mills per ton per
mile would produce less than the Legislature
may restore the charge of five mills per ton per
mile as in the original act of Incorporation
The said tax was paid regularly till the 2lst
of July, 1858, when the Company refused to
pay further. The accountant departments set
tied an account for the tax from the Dist of
July, 1858, up to the lst of December, 1858,
amounting to $87,375 % From this the Com
pany appealed The case was tried this week
before Judge Pearson, and resulted in iudg-
ment for the Commonwealth for debt and in
terest. A few days since the accountant de-
partments settled another account from the Ist
Of December 1853, to 9th of July, 1859 for
tax or tonnage due by said Railroad Company
amounting to $lj9,363 So. The principle
being the same in both cases-the result of
one will decide the other-Harrisburg Tele-

THE SENATORIAL CONFERENCE

On Monday OK, the Senatorial Conference
to select a candidate for this District, will
meet at Camptown, in this County. Each Of
the four counties composing the District has
now presented a candidate Bradford the late
member, f. REED MYER Susqueharna, Hon
WIN. JEssUP Wyoming, Col. ELHANAN SMITH,
and Sullivan HENRY METCALF, ESQ. These
gentlemen are all fully qualified to properly
represent the District, and if nominated by the
Conference will receive the undivided support
of the Republicans of the District.
1t should not be concealed that the Confer
ence, if its proceedings are not conducted in
proper spirit, may become the scene of trouble
and possibly disaster to the Republican party
Upon the gentlemen composing that Confer
eEce tremendous responsibility rests. Our
enemies have already placed their hopes upon
want of unanimity producing schism and
defeat to our cause The members of the
Conference should assemble in a spirit of con-
ciIiation and devotion TO the Republican cause
They should take higher view of the pur-
poses for which they have been selected than
blind and perverSe adherence to the Interests
of any candidate We take it the interests of
the Republican party are paramount to the
advancement of any man, and while we are
content that the Couferees from either County
shall faithfully labor to effect the success of
the person put forward by the Convention
which elected them, we insist that the Confer
ence shall not be dissolved without recommend
ing candidate for Senator. That is the pur
pose for which they have been chosen-and
that the ardent desire of the Republicans of
the District. To effect this, a reasonable and
conciIatory spirit must be felt and manifested
A stubborn and unyielding determination to
put candidates above the good of the party,
will result in mischief.
We call upon the Republicans of the Dis.
trict to watch with scrutinizing eve the Camp.
town Conference. If the anticipations so free
ly INDUCED in by the Black Democracy shall
be realized, we trust they will be ready to fix
the responsibility where it properly belongs.
Any attempt to endanger the integrity of the
party should be promptly rebuked. And we
trust that the Conferees embarrassed as they
will be by the settlement of difficult and deli
cate questions and the reconcilement of adverse
interests, will return to their several Counties
with their work so faithfully accomplished that
they will merit the appreciation of the people
of the District
