THE ALBANY BRIDGE BILL.
M BRIGGS moved TO recOmmlt this bill, with the
object Of obtaining the opinion Of the
es 70 its cOnsttutOnality after which Mr. b. made
brief argument against the bridge
Mr. WADSWORTH replied, showing tina. at Al.
baDy there was now an obstruction to the great land
traffic of the State which should long since have been
removed. Senators might urge as much as pleased
them against the construction OF the bridge, that there
would be established with the Hudson Road; but the
fact was that the bulk of the travel from the West
was for the capital. Argue you may, 1t cannot be
successfully denied that the bridgeis not needed by
the public-lt was necessity to be measured by the
travel the roads Of the State, growing with the
increase of that travel, and one which long since
called for the proposed remedy.
Mr.. KELLY endorsed the argument OF the Senator
from the XXXIst as to the necessity for the bridge.
He showed that there great amount Of
property in freight, passed the river at this point
az passed Albany Troy. Mr.. X. then asked the In
diligence Of the Senate while be made q few personal
remarks He had noticed in Of the Troy papers
statements TO the effect that he was stakeholder and
director Of the Hudson River Road, leading to the IN
ference that he personally interested IN TIE con-
struetion of the bridge. True, he was stockbolder
and director in that road but be had never consulted
with the Board of Directors with regard to the bridge
be had never spoken TO more than five OF them with
regard 70 it. and not aware OF the OPINION oil the
Board With regard to it. He had never been consulted
with reference his in the premses-of course
it would not have altered in the least the course he
had marked out for himsef-but he had never been
consuted and he knew that the subject had never
been introduced into the meetings Of the Board OF that
road. And to show how groundless were the 'mpufa-
tons sought to be cast upon his course ne felt COM
PEELED TO state that he was also a director and
much Ian ger stakeholder in the line OF vessels plying OF
the Hudson River, which the opponents OF the bridge
claimed was to suffer materially it was construct
ed Thu, he thought, was sufficient argument to
prove his unsefishneSs in the premises.

Mr. WAOsWORTH opposed it. If the bridge
would be unconstitutional structure, why was II
that It's Troy opponents trembed lest the bill should
pass the Legislature Let the Legislature pass the
Sill IT'S opponents will then have an opportunity test
its contiutonaty and if the courts decide in their
favor, why the bridge viii, have to come down.
Mr. SICKLES favored the reference, and on his
motion the additional query vas put into the motion

been in a shape 10 make such a reference OF IT, he
cosld not imagine single well founded objection TO
that course. Two days could be allowed for the an-
swer and that oss of time would in woy affect the
final disposition of the bill by either House. He ex-
pressed the hope that the motion would prevail.
Mesers. C. p. SMITH and CUYLER opposed the
molten; and Mr.. CLARK opoke in its favor, when

Mr.. c. p. SMITH stated that, although he was

likely in ruin his relatives and many Of hi, friends
and therefore, feeling that he could not afford to sane
