A debate next sprung up incidentally on the
question OF printing extra number OF report on
the subject of the Northern Railroad. The Print
ing Committee had reported against the measure
us unnecessary expense, and the Chairman of
that Communicable TAMr1IS-sad that trice
the usual number of copies had already been laid
upon the tables of members Mr.. STETsoS re-
torted that if such were the fact, memberS were
mere indebted to the generosity of the State Printer
than to the liberality Of the Printing Committee
There some sharp shooting at the Printing
Committee, in the course OF which Mr. HULBuRD |
said that on one occasinn when Il certain member
of that Committee had strenuously and successfully
opposed the printing Of more than fcc times the
usual number of document. the same gentleman
had subsequently, helped himself TO ten copies
1t finally decided that as the Report III queS-
toil contained much valuable STATISTICAL intorm;-
ton, and, moreover, that as the Report was all the
Northern Counties were likely 10 get towards
Railroad from the present Legislature, II was no
more than just give them an extra number OF
Reports.
Resolutions of inquiry into the number of Clerks
and the expenses of the Comprollcr's Office, and
also as to the propriey of reducing the salaries OF
the Comptroller and Secretary of State 10 5000
each, were laid on the table.
MIR. HATHAWAY al length succeeded in getting
his resolution of inquiry relative 20 the ChcmHns
Canal Loan considered. An animated debate en-
sued, without. however, eiciting any definite m
formation, further than that the loan Is not yet
taken and, Judging from the remarks of members
is not likely 10 be. at six per cent he inquiry
was most vehemcntly opposed, and the House
finally adjourned, without taking the question on
the resolution.
You will have seen that the Argus denies that
the State Officers have made any proposition 10
the Chernung Canal contractors TO receive SO per
cent. on their demands. chat any such PROPOSE
ton hash made with the knowledge or con-
sent of said officers 1t is however, well under
stood here that such proposition has been made,
and the contractors were given to understand that
it was made hv authority.
