The Lease OF tho New Jersey Rail-
roads.
PHILADELPHIA, May 10.
The Ledger in its money article says
some commotion was made yesterday in
railroad circles by the announcement that
the Reading Railroad Company was COM
peting with the Pennsylvania railroad for
a lease of the canal and railroads of the
united companies of New Jersey. We
do not know the exact terms of the pro-
prietors of the Reading Railroad Compa-
ny, said to have been made to the board
of the united companies at their meeting
IN the 9Th inst, but the fact that the
ter ms and conditions of the lease to the
Penn. sylyania Railroad Company were
fully az reed to by the board with some
trifing notifications, which were assent
ed to yesterday by the Pennsylvania rail-
road, would sem to disprove the report
of such competition. President Owen,
as late as Monday last, distinctly stated
that bis company di.s not desire to lease
unless the Pennsylvania company declined
and then they only wished to take the
Delaware and Rsritan can al, but II neces-
sarv wnnld 4aLA tho whole works, es he
would get some parties to take the rail
roads off his hands. 1t is hardly probable
that proposition Of this iuurn.si'O ~i----
acter will command any great attention
of the stockholders, though there will
probably be some further Developments
at the meeting at Trenton to-day.

IMPORTANT TO DRUGGISTS. - The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
written a letter in reply to an inquiry, in
which be says that the repeal of the spe-
oisl tax on apothecaries, by section 1 of
the act of July IA, 1870, abolishes on and
after May 1st, 1871, the exemption here
tofore provided for apothecaries, under
33. section 70, of the act of
June Both, 1864, as amended, and renders
them subject, after April Both, 1871, to
just the same liability as any other per-

It's, wines or malt liquors in any quanti-
ty, and without reference to the purpose
for or manner in which they are sold.

Extra Session Of the sen,,.

| WAsHlNGTON, May 10.
| The Senate went into executive com.
mittee few minutes after one o'clock.
The first thing done was the reading Of
the treaty Of the Joint High Commission
which occupied about an hour. This was
merely for information. Mr.. Cameron,
chairman of Committee on Foreign Re-
lstions, made brief statement to the
effect that the treaty was honorable to
both countries, and negotiated in the in
terests of peace. He hoped, therefore,
that the treaty would receive the approval
OF the Senate, and suggested that it be
given to the press of the country, but to
this several Senators objected as they
could see no reason for departing from
the uniform practice of the Senate.
Mr.. Sumner is'reported to have said he
did not approve of some portions of the
treaty, and thought they ought to be
amended. He, like Cameron, said the
public should be furnished with a full
text of the treaty in order that they might
fully understand its provisions in advance
of the final action of the Senate. Hejwas
of the opinion that the claims of British
subjects should not have been incorpor-
ated in the treaty, as they grew out of
things done. on the part of Great Britain
itself dnring the late war. They would
not have been admitted if decided op.
position had been expressed by our own
commissioners.
A simple and better plan would have
been to make fair bill for Alabama and
kindred depredations, but he would not
now ask for its payment in the way of ex-
emplary or vindictive damages. Other
matters might afterwards te adjusted |
He did not, however, indicate whether he
would vote for or against the treaty, as he
had not yet had time to examine all its
features, some of which were of an impor-
tant national character.
The question of removing the injunc-
tion of secrecy SO as to enable the press to
publish the full text, was not brought to
a vote. The treaty was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Relations. When |
it shall have been reported back from the
with recommendation that it |
be ratified, it will be for consideration, |
and taken as iu committee of the whole
when every one will be free to move.
