Trouble among the Corruptionists al
Albany.

The Albany IN. W correspondent Of the
New York Herald, writes;
ALBANY, April %, 1863
There is an intense excitement here this
morning All manner of rumors are aaoat
about the arrest of this and that member
The third house 10 in general state OF COM
motion, come with long and others with smiling
faces. The "Bear" portion is feeling as happy
as clam 10 high water, whilo the "Bulls' look
o. though they had been cleaned out and a
general collapse had taken place.
The frat thing that heard this morning was
that q number OF persona had been arrested,
and that about half of the Legislature had been
summoned before the police justice, The first
report was that the Speaker WAS arrested, and
afterward it was stated that some OF the mem
bers had been arrested. IL was evident from
the excitement that something extraordinary
hadtaken place. Upon inquiry, / ascertsined
that general chargeof corruption against the
Legislature had been made, aud members and
outsiders were summoned to eppear before Po
lice Justice Cole to answer. One member sp-
peared to be examined, and stated that he
wanted TO testify, and that he did not want to
bear the odium that he knew cF Was cognizant
OF corruption and not be permitted 70 testify =
The Justice etated that there was no charge
against any person, but this examination was
for the purpose Of ascertainiDg If an Indictment
could be found against any one.
The Justice, contrary TO all law excluded
everybody from the proceedings, and thus,
while pretendingtc be sitting for the purpose Of
seeing If any members of tho Legislature have
been violating law and their oaths OF office, he
himself is doing that for which the Grand Jury OF
Albany can indict him--that is, holding "Ssar-
Ch amber ln4nIsiion." lnlS3I
They have had George Law before them oil
the morning. What has tfanspifed will proba-
ply be known a. s,on as the frat session is
over, notwithstanding tho unlawful decision of
the 0ne-borse Justice. 1t now appears that
after two hours effort to pump George Law, he
was let loose, the Stsr.Chambet Waa opened,
and the balance OF the witnesses notified that
they would be sent tiorwhenthey wanted them
This looks 40 though the object is more TO get
up scare on the bills pending, than for the
purpose of furnishing members guilty of cor.
ruption, As far as have been able 60 learn
the only thing that was obtained from Law, af.
ter two hours examination, was, that several
gentlemen about the Legislature were in the
habit OF calling at his rooms, and when they
came ln they said, "Good morning, Me, Law
and when they left, they said, Good bye, Mr.
Law" Messrs. Hadley and Shseffer are th'
lawyers managing the case on behalf OF th'
