be extended to those cities. Az movements already
making to similar railroads through the streets Of
those cities he moved to reconmi the bill to select
committee to amend it include all the cities of
the State, and report forthwith. The President Mr..
McMurray appointed Messrs Taber Cooley and Bartlett
such committee, and majority Immediately reported
back the bill directed the latter Senator dissenting
The report agreed to- and the bill ordered to
third reading.
When this was announced by the chair. Mr. Con-
ger arose. evidently much disappointed at the result thus
far and again moved to re commit with instructions to
strike out the enacting clause He commenced speech
should endeavor to present certain facts duplicating
tain persons, not very honoraby in this Broadway affair
Two or three Senator's made inquiry to what and
who he meant and desired an explanation.
Mr. Conger replied that the statement would be made
as soon as committee of investigation which has been
applied for was constituted Here this unpleasant affair
dropped and left large lobby in state of wonderment
The vote finally taken, and the bill received p
yotes-the exact number which predicted Yesterday.
The votes against il are Mesrs. Morgan Of New York
Mr. Bartlett Of Delaware Mr. Bristol of Toga Mr. Conyer

Jefferson and Mr. Pierce Of Ulster.

cifc Railroad bill 1t has several strong opponents who,
/ think, have the strength TO defeat it.
The canal question absorbed the most of the time of
the House. The motion to reconsider the vote by which
Mr. Cooley's Joint resolutions defeated being in Or
der, vote taken, when the motion was lost by As to
S.
plan for completing the canals is being prepared and
after careful consideration will be submitted PERHAPS in
