no! ake up ie ON, The Senate would have adjourned
rIuay rNele, nad not this matter inerfcred-had not
ia "ermhaoh existed in the lobby to have the bill passed
Upon oeine refused by Senator'S these impudent lobby
scoundrels remarked that they would rather deal with
knayes than foo thereby indicating that those Senators
who favored the BILL were known by being brought under
the influence of the lobby for consideration While those
who resisted were FOOLS too scrupuous to be affected by
a bride.
Among the bills not finished was one which passed TIE
House, appointing r. H. Walworth of Saratoga James O.
Putnam of Buffalo, and +. b. Judson OF Syracuse, COM
mssioners TO investigate alleged frauds in the purchase
of the Aver iron bed adjacent to Clinton prison. II
appears that year or two since the Legislature authorized
the Commissioners of the Land Office negotiate for and
purchase the bed The late Board of Commissioners after
an investigation of the title probable quantity of ore &C.
concluded not to make the purchase But the present
Commissioners, a majority, made the purchase and
pledged the faith Of the State for payment OF hundred
thousand dollars for it, that suspicious of fraud
exist in this matter Whether the blame lies at the doors
of the Commissioners others, nothing OF certainty Is
known During the expiring moments OF the Senate an
effort made pass the bill came from the House,
but 1t efectually resisted. In the meantime the
money lies in the treasury, and is not likely to be paid
until further investigation shall be had
We believe that every political bill which the majority
designed have become laws. Two of hem when their full

Senate. The first the bill to take power from the
Canal transfer it the Letting Board. To the
support of this bill they succeeded in ensng Mr. Sckes,

was the bill egsatng the present Canal Auditor out Of
office. Then Senator Haltead was absent Another vote

Heretofore nearly dozen of them have been appointed
