UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS.

UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS.
Mr. Dwight Of Tompkins County has given notice
OF bill to transer the unclaimed deposits and divi-
dends now in the hands Of tho savings banks Courts
and all other institutions Of the State to the State
Treasury 10 be used in armng the State or other pur-
poses requiring funds-the State Treasury holding
itself responsible 20 the depo0rs or rghtTu claimants
of these funds with five per cent interest If the sums
thus awaiting claimants as large as currently re-
ported such measure would afford relief to consid-
cradle extent from present taxaion and as the state
is certainly as safe custodian Of these funds as the
savings banks or officers Of the Courts and as the State
is the legitimate heir in claimants ever appear
to demand these deposits it is difficult to see what valid
objection can be urged against Mr.. Dwights PROPOSE

MR. CHANGERS NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Senator Bell some days ago, introduced resolution
into the Senate slightly Overhauling that venerable
Unon-sayer, the Hon. Frank Granger, for his asser-
ton In the Old Gentlemens Conference at Washing
ton that the people Of this State would now If they
had an opportunity reverse their verdict Of last No
yember by lO00 coo majority. This assertion, which
was echoed throughout the State by The ~ \. Herald,
prints was evidently intended TO affect the town cleo
lions bu, does not seem 10 have bad the desired effect
as the elections the whole, show Republican gains
from last Springs returns Enraged and chagrlned
ts want OF success IN convincing tne Peopieoi tne
State that II is their duty 10 surrender their cherished
principles the dctatOn Of rebels and traitors the
veracous dt0s and Argus takes its revenge IN abus-
ing Mr. Bell and in order TO do this the more success
fully peryets the language OF the preamble 10 the req
oution before referred 20. -
This morning Mr.. Bell rose TO question OF priyI-
ege and read from The Argus. Of last Saturday, as
follows: mn

Mr. Connolly has presented TO the Scnate bill
10 amend the act Of last session for the Improvement
Of Washington Nights. The bill was accompanied by
memorial setting forth that the land lying between
the new Ninth avenue and the valley west OF the pres
ent Ninth avenue raversed by the present Ninth av-
enue and One-hundred-and-twenty- seventh, Onehun-
dred-and-twenty and One-huDdred and-twenty-
ninth streets, is very elevated rocky ana Precpnoa
presenting insuperable difficulties to the cutting
through OF the streets avenues; that the cutting
through of such streets upon any practical grade
could only be done great expense to the city; ana
that after being cut through the lots fronting on the
same, from the vast amount OF earth and rock upon
them would be for the most part valueess that tho
lots if ever required for Improvement as building lots
will be mos, valuable at their present elevation, with
ont the cutting through Of those streets or the avenue
Furthermore that the land, beng now covered Win
Gne growth OF forest trees, having walks tasteiuliy
Laid out about the same, presents very beautiful ap,
pearance and one that would be in no wise improved
