SPECIAL Core ,pordoncc of THE TIMES.
HARRISBURG, March ~, l81O.

Mr.. Edttor: Among the various top
les Of the week is the production Of the
"Daily Topic" an evening PAPER pub
lished here by Dir, GI.non, late private
secretary of Governor Geary. 1t is jcar-
fully Republican, and is supposed to rep
resent tie Governor and his interests
1T IS even whispered that it is to be the
advocate of his election to the United
states Senate The business Of the Leg
slature has been ofunusual interest, made
doubly so by disgracelul scene which
occurred in the Senate. A Senator from
Philadelphia, Nagle, falling to appreciate
the standing Of brother Senator-Lin-
derman, from Bucks, struck him blow,
which very much obscures the vision OF
the gentleman from Bucks. The whole
matter originated from II difference Of
opinion. The friends Of the old Metro
and arc attempting the passage of SINH
lar bill. The bill Incorporating the Jcr-
sey Shore Pine Greek and Buffalo Rail
way has BASED both Honses, finally, with
but with little opposition. A bill to in
crease the number of Judges of the Su-
preme Court by an addition of two. pass
ed to third reading in the House. An
effort is also being made to pass bill to
prohibit corporations or their agent from
keeding or maintaining stores, issuing or
ders, due bills, or other evidences of in
debtedness for labor. The Matter will
come up for consideration on Thursday
next. A bill to repeal an act making
Good Friday public holiday was passed.
Various opinions exist as to the final ad-
journment. Some members are anxious
to get home to attend to their own bust
ness affairs. These promise an early close
of the session, whilst others who probably
make more money here than at home are
trying to prolong it. Probably a change
will come over the spirit Of their dreams
and hasty adjournment may be the re-
suit. Pull.

TdT Payers StCindled.
A Perry County Man Gives His Opinion Of
The Railroad Bill.

Mr.. Editor: wish to call the attention of the
tax payers to the Railroad bill just passed.
The Jersey Shore Pine Creek and Buffalo Rail
Road is the long, high sounding and far reaching
title of an infamous bill rushed through both
Houses of the Legislature. The bill is fraud 50
garng and outrageous that if the voters who elec-
ted these members, come to see the infamous fraud
that has been perpetrated upon them by those who
they honored by their votes it will damn every
who has aided the passage of this bill. The indie
cent haste with which the whole matter was char
acterzed giving the citizens who were represented
and had n right to be heard, no voice whatever,
must he ample proof that wrong was intended.
Awake, Freeme II! who boast of the glory of this
good old Commonwealth; you who are proud to
call yourselves Pennsylvanians, and in the three
Jims of the ring" behold your masters. These
antiquated fossils for their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT
sell your brthrightS for less than of pOttage
and annul with their simple iDsi dirit" all you say
to the persons whom you have placed in power for
Il brief period Let every one examine for them
selves this great Railway bill. See there how
adroitly money is taken from the public treasury
Money which you and your children earned by
honest toll and for what? to enrich sOuess, pen
niless corporation, that gives 10 other guarantee
foryOur money, than that the interest shall be paid
for three years. This fellow citizens is all the Sc
CURLY you are 10 receive Tor the millions your rep
resentatives give to this magnificent scheme.
Why not if the public money is to be squandered
in this manner, use some of it in constructing the
projected road in Perry county? We can give as
good security as they who propose to build Il road
through territory as barren as any i'll the state.
/ am sorry to say that the representatives OF our
district Skinner and Mken, and Senator McIntre
voted for the bill. make no comment, but their
former friends can remember them when they ask
their votes again. RUsTICUs.

A Lucky find.

The Kansas City Ne,cs. of a late date
tells story of William Pate, who re-
Gently purchased and is now improving
a lot near the eastern terminus Of
Twelfth street, discovered on his prcmi-
ces treasure of no trifing import.
He was digging for the foundation of a
house. Near the roots Of an old tree
that had long ago been cut down. Mr.
Pate was freely using the spade, when
suddenly it struck something solid and
apparently immovable. Digging around
the object, it was soon brought to light.
1t proved to be small iron chest,
rusty, but solid. It was at once removed
from its bed under the earth, and with
some difficulty opened Imagine the
surprise and delight of Mr. p. on dis
covering therein, gold to the amount of
$5,620. With the gold was also found
a note legibly written.
"Hidden from the soldiers in 1864. If | never
return, and this is discovered, the finder viii

poses, and the balance he can keep for his ownu,e

The money has been placed in bank

doubt. will be appropriate "the balance"

Queer Antics Of n SdupC.

An OLD Comancho Chief at tie Indian

OF whom he is very Jealous, to have her
dN'gurrootype taken. The artist got

Comancne thought he'd take look into
that fanny box the artist had his head
under, raised the cloth and looked, and,
oh, horror! there was his squaw stand
ing on her head.
He jerked out with savage look at
her, and wanted to know what capers she
was cutting before all the soldiers She
denied doing anything, at which he told
her she lied, that he had seen her. lie
resumed his investigation, stuck his head
under the cloth again, and there was
the wretched squaw standing on her head
again. lie gave yell, and rushing at
her gave her a whack on the head, and
told her not to try that again with him.
but she stoutly denied doing anything.
And now to catch her at it, lie kept
an eye on her, and raised the cloth slowly
and tried to look at her with one eye and
though the camera with the other He
could not do it, so he moved his head
down slowly, and as she disappeared from
the eye he had on her, there she was
standing on her head as seen through
the camera. lie jerked his head up
quickly, and there she was standing
placidly before him. He jerked down
and she was on her head again.
lie then walked off in brown study

but nothing could ever induce him to
have anything to do with dagurreotyp-

Somerset county. Md, has citizen
named Solomon Tull, of decidedly eccen-
trio tastes and habits. Some two years
ago he got measured for his coffin, and
had handsome one made and sent home
to his house, thinking, like Toodlcs, that
it was ga handy thing to have in the
family" Last week longing to occupy
the snug box, or possibly feeling that he
was carrying dead stock and losing inter-
est on his Investment, he took knife
and cut his throat. He was seized by
his friends, however, before he succeeded
in inhicting a fatal wound, and sent to
Princes Anne Jail for safer confinement
than was possible at his home. Whether
he will be indicted for assault and bat
terry on himse If, with intent to kill, we
have not heard He seems rational on
all subjects except that of dying, but
insists that he has lived long enough.
His self-inhicted wounds have been care
fully dressed, but are still very painful.

THE Commissioner Of Internal Reve-
nue is constantly calling forth protests
from all parties by his peculiar decisions
and rulings. If he has not forgotten
Presidents Grants remarks about bad
law he is evidently trying to get the law
repealed.
The Philadelphia Inquirer makes the
following remarks on this subject
The way to bring about the repeal of
bad law, said President Grant, is to make
it SO burdensome by enforcement that it
will be rendered Infamous. This satisfies
us that secretly the President is opposed,
heart and soul, to the inquisitorial Income
Tax, and that he keeps DELANo in his
present place simply that, by his arbitrary
decisions he may fill the mind of the
public with such disgust of the law as
to insure its repeal On any other
grounds the Commissioner persistent
ruling against the best interests of the
sountry cannot be explained. They are,
soys the New York Erprcs' unjust
oppressive and partial" but that idea,

Frauds on Banks.

A series of frauds by the alteration of
certified checks has come to light. A
check drawn by Messrs Fisk g. Hatch
on the Fourth Nantional Bank for $50
was altered to $4,000, and one drawn by
Vermilie & Co. for $50 on the Bank of
Commerce has been changed to $4,000.
Another, on the St. Nicholas Bank, for
$50, was altered to $4,000, but the attempt
at fraud in this case was discovered il
time to prevent its success. The checks
of Fisk O. Hatch and Vermilie & Co. were
altered after being certified, and then
deposited by the forger with the National
Mechanics Banking Association, the
money against them being subsequently
drawn out by the fraudulent depositor,
whose whereabouts is now unknown.
The checks were collected by the Me-
chanics' Banking Association through
the Clearing House, and the question is
an open one between the banks concerned
as to which shall stand the loss
