on the Lebanon Springs Railroad bill by striking out
the language under which II was unprecedented that an
attempt might be made 10 attach the Broadway graai
TO the consolidated Lebanon Springs Harlem Railroad,
and passing the bill as amended. l believe the i'm.
preston lett upon the minds Of all at this
! place IN that the suspected design was not
really entertained by the interested parties-certoiny
no one suppOses for moment that Senators butcher
and Hastings had the slightest knowledge or suspicion
OF any such design but the action taken by tho Senate
upon the motion Of Mr.. FOlger shows a commendabe
disposition on tie part of that body to guard ts honor
and desire promptly to scntinze and review any oil
its acts upon which the slightest suspicion may rest
Messrs Hastings and butcher nss. upon 1t that, by no
possible construction OF law. could the confirmation OF
the grant to the Harlem be deduced from the Language
OF the bill as II originally passed and the question mas
been closely examined by the leading lawyers OF the city
since yesterday who appear 10 be unanimously Of the
I same mind.
