Tho Discuasiou In Relation 90 the Proposed
Repeal Of fsse Tenure OF Once Act-Pro-
posed Reductions Of the Canal Tolls ON Coal.
ALBANY, Feb. 20, 1859.
The Introduction OF series Of resolutions by MIR.
Hustled, from the Committee on Federal Relations.
fav0rng the repeal OF the Tenure OF once law, gave
rise 10 quite party discussion, In which 1t was dim
cult 70 discover anything OF particular Importance
to the interest OF the State. The origin Of the de-
bate was the introduction OF very abusive
language In the resolutions referred 10 rela-
tive tS Andrew Johnson. They were severe
" attacked as unwarrantable and untrue by
several OF the democratic members and defended by
Mr.. La Bair and Mr.. Hustled. defence OF Andrew
Johnson at this hour and in this place, to the
clusion OF business electIng many important inter-
ests OF New York, does not appear quite pertinent;
neither did the abusive appendage the resolutions
Of the Committee on Federal Relations, which called
1t out come in proper shape. Nevertheless an hour
or more OF valuable time was wasted IN the discus
owns Andy Johnson and which should be most
proud Of his virtues and most ashamed OF his poll
tlcal vices. The discussion was long prOtracted.
and was libustered through on questions Of parlia-
mentay rule until th0hour Of adjournment arrived.
The real question Is absorbing good deal OF the
attention OF the Legislature Mr. Ray, OF Ontario pro-
poses to reduce the canal toll from tide to the
West. His views have been met with much opposl-
ton, especially on the part OF Judge Miller OF SEN
aca, who urges an amendment that IN order most
efectualy TO reduce the price OF coal all duties
that article shall be removed. 1t Is claimed that to
reduce the toll would only have the effect OF impov-
erishng the canals and would do more benefit to
other States than own. large quantities OF
coal brought by the Erie Canal Is led into the
States Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.
The Canal Auditor giyessthe following returns OF
coal going from tidewater for the past year on the
Erie canal
Anthracite.
Cleared at New York. 115O2l tons.
Cleared at Albany ny................. 10S 511 tons.
Cleared at West Troy y............. 1S7, ,934 tons.

COAL LEFT AT BUFFALO.
Anthracite ..,................... 31s, 1854 tons.

coal TO any extent goes from hde-water west OF
