ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 22-At the
session of the Railroad Committee,
last evening, to investigate the diff
Guilty between the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad Compa-
MES William H. Vanderbilt, Vice
President of the latter company, made
statement which did not differ from
that already before the public, show
ing that the N. Y. Central Railroad
Company had not carried out an agree
ment which had been entered into by
the former board. It transpired that
the agreement now entered upon pro-
vides that the Hudson River Road
shall receive pay from the New York
Central bonus on the basis of $780,
600 up to the 18th inst, when the
Hudson is to do its own business.

G. j. Mather, an English Fenian, was
tried and acquitted by an American
jury in Toronto yesterday. The ex-
rebel General Early was summoned as
juror, but did not appear.
Thomas Cooney was sentenced to be
hung on. the 9Th of March next.
The Herald S New Orleans special
of yesterday says that much excite
ment prevailed among the Irish eiti-
zens to-day from some cause, possibly
the card from Head Centre McCleary,
calling on all ablelb0died Fenians to
report for duty Immediately. Several
prominent Fenian officials from New
York left here yesterday for Mobile,
where the blockade runner Mory,
Captain Hayes, is being prepared for
sea, but whether by the Fenians or
the Knights of Arabia is unknown.
She has large surplus crew on board,
and it is pretty we'll established that
she is destined for some mysterious
cruise. uv~1t
The Deputy Commander of the
Knights of Arabia left this city in
cognito on the 18th inst, leaving part
of his baggage behind Something
is in the wind, but whether the expe-
dition is against the English mer-
chant vessels, or a raid upon the st.
Domingo by the Knights, cannot be
discovered. The Times Washington

tend to sail for Europe in April next,
and will visit the Paris Exposition.

Governors Morton and Baker.

The Terre Haute Erpress, by the
pen, we take it, of Hon. r. w.
THOMPSON, one of the most distin-
guished political leaders of the West,
speaks thus both of Governor MORTON
and Lieutenant Governor BAKER,
and there is not a word of either that
the Union men of the State will not
swear to:
4 1t was peculiarly appropriate that
on the day of the delivery of the
Message, the Union members of the
Legislature unanimously nominate
him for the Senate of the United
States, a position to which it was the
height of folly for any other man in
the State now to aspire. This was a
just and deserved compliment to a
faithful public servant, who, with i'm
paired health and strength, stood
firmly and manly at his post of
duty, when the storm beat upon the
ship of State, and the life of the Ma
ton was imperilled. It is honorable
to him, and honorable to the State.
The loyal men of the whole country
approve it, for all his official conduct
during the war has furnished them an
earnest that, in his career in the Sen
ate, he. will be no less distinguished
than he has been as Governor, for his
devotion to those principles which are
as essentially necessary to the future
glory of the Nation as the circulation
of the blood is to human life. Gov
ernor Morton will at once take his
position in the front rank of the Sen
ate, and we predict for him a proud
and honorable career in that body.
while the State will regret his
vacation of the Gubernatorial chair
which his election to the Senate will
render necessary--its honorrand inter-
ests will be no less safe in the hands
of his successor than they have been
in his. Lieutenant Governor Baker
is not surpassed by any man In the
State in those high qualities which are
essential to the successful manage
ment of public affairs. To ripe and
matured judgment he adds the pos
session of the most unsullied private
and public virtue, and an industry
which never tires in the performance
of duty. With a clear head to direct
his judgment, and with his heart in
the right place, he will so administer
the affairs of the State that the most
captious will find no just ground of
fault. While the State has been
proud of such Governor as Morton,
we hazard nothing in saying that she
will hereafter take equal pride in his
successor"
