OUR ALBANY CORRESPONDENCE.
ALBANY, March 81, 1856.
The excitement created by the passage OF the paid Fire
Department bill yesterday has completely subsided
The Speaker announced to-day the committee authorized
to investigate the charges made by Mr. salmon, on the
authority Of Mr. Turner Nothing could be more absurd
than this investigation Turner In his zeal to aid the New
York delegation, prompted to say that he had been
offered nve hundred dollars for the proposed
Investigation was urged by the parties opposed to the
bill before Its passage Mr. Salmon having given notice
that he would do 50, introduced the resolution which
the bill who passed It, But the proved be the
result Mr. Salmon, seeing this and nndng that Turner
aeIy replaced by another on the part Of his oppone us
the parties on its adoption changing ground almost
pletely.
Of this kind the loudest noise and the most searching
vestigation Is proceeded with In matters which It is
,hSrs ss % yed NO the ne only case N which
due means were used for tho defeat Of the Paral-
lei Railroad has been overlooked, and the bascess
chan Of Mr. Turner 10 pursued by investigating
mittee Frequent illustrations of this could cited
and recent instance In the of the other chamber
Is witnessed In the current allegations relative mem
bers OF that body. For instance Governor Alvord is
charged with being concerned In city railroads, and,
Therefore In % favor Of them rhs fact Is as your CORES
and never was grantee in any New York city rail-
roads His namc was inserted in list of corporaOrs
before he member OF the Legislature Of last year,
filed In the Secretary OF States oce but upon being
elected member his name was withdrawn and another
list filed with the Secretary Of State this grant never
having been passed. He has nevertheless always de-
cared himself in favor Of such roads public grounds
is the with Senator Strong He is the
of any New York city railroad has he any stock
official interest in such roads
The only member Of the body who has any such rela-
ton 70 city railroad while under legislative action is
Senator butcher, who is director in the Harlem Rail
road But neither In his nor any such has ever
been advanced here that he ncapacaed dshonored
by participation in legislation affecting such interests
But while conjecture Is ventured as those Sena
tors having no such interest," speculation entirely
looks the location of the fact Of official or Interested con-
nectlon.
This morning the shsTaJ J:nSary "a by Senator ch
NS Relating to Railroads in this State" The various
provisions originally included In the bill stricken out
almost entirely, and provisions made for increase of
fare TO and half per mile The restrictions
on the Hudson River or any other in the State left
as heretofore.
1t would seem that this new move on the subject of
fare on the Central is presented by the Railroad Commit
tee after consultation with Senators who have opposed
started by the radicals, but finally led by Foger Cook
and the other wing Of the party The latter having
seized the credit OF the movo for the defeat OF the
at cent advance the radicals placed them
selves In attitude by which they could grasp and
troll the power Of the Central Railroad in the State by
concession Of two and half cents, introduced
But in the meantime this discovered and a
counter movement instituted which will at least put the
question Its merits at last In view OF general check

CAUCUS MBAsUREs-THE BUFFALO POLICE BILL Pasted.
The progress OF the Assembly upon the measures
which have been made sAucus rules Was still further
sisnalized today by the passage OF the Buhlo Police
bill. This measure has been fought with great ability
and pertinacity by Mr.. Cutting OF Erie. He has
pied the House with argument the subject for about
the New York Paid Fire Department bill he could have
had the Buffalo bill laid aside Refusing to compromise
his views of obligation he was put through to-day
