ALBANY, Feb. 2S.-There were only about half
dozen members Of tho Senate present tonight, and
that body adjourned after reading Fridays journal
The Assembly went through several orders. but did
not order any bill of special importance TO third
reading Another message from the Governor, veto
ing special law sought TO DO enacted, was received
and laid upon the table.
The Railroad Committee Of the Assembly have
agreed to report favorably Gen. SWANS two-ter
railroad bill; but they have Incorporated in its pro-
visions certain principles which, II they form the
basis of law will prevent any persons from getting
railroad charter merely to sell il or TO il
real estate speculation. These provisions require
that the public shall have the privilege Of subscrb
ing to all the stock but that a. 600 of 1t must be
subscribed 10 per cent of which must be paid in by
JAN l. 1870, before the company can commence to
build the road.
Mr. j. Bancroft Davis of the Railroad Committee
has drawn up bill to present 10 the Assembly, in
which the principle is recognized that as the people
of the State grant these railroad franchises, they
should directly reap the benefit He proposes to
create Commission, consisting Of Marshall 0. Rob
erts, Edwin D. Morgan, Samuel j. TildeD, Alex. II.
Owen Elliot i. Sheppard and Others not yet named,
together with the Mayor State Engineer, and the
President Of the Croton Board. olfco members.
Every two years two men retire and their places arc

authority to survey and lay out plan for railroad

deem proper, and file the same in the County
Clerks Office, and that Of the Secretary OF State
SAID railroad must cross the Harlem River. and be
established on q routo that will most benefit the
people of the city. The Commission shall also make
a statement OF the cost OF tho property TO be
taken for the use of the road and the cost Of build
ing it, and the question is then TO be submitted to
the people next FALL the general election, whether
or not the Commissioners shall Issue mortgage bonds,
running IS years, principal and interest payable in
con interest at six per cent, and also convertible at
the end of the time into scrip paying six fer cent,
currency the total amount of tho cost Of the road
II the people shall decide in the affirmative, tho Com
mission Is then 10 90 and build the road. All
moneys realized from the roadOv the actual expense
of running it is to go into the Treasury of the
State, TO pay the interest the bonds, and
help extinguisi the State debt. After that is paid.
one half of the net earnings is TO 20 into the State
Treasury and the other half into the Treasury
of the city, Prominent capitalists do not hesitate to
state that the road will be profitable one, and that
the State had better reap the benefits than private

scented next Fall the people will vote that the invest

took recess only three of his bills had been
passed.
The session in the House to-day was devoted mainly
TO urgent business The copper tariff veto was read
and after an hours debate the bill was passed over
the veto by the necessary two-thirds vote. There
was great interest taken in the matter and close
yassing all around The bill made very narrow
escape, there being just vote in excess of the
number necessary to carry it. Messrs. Wilson and
Allison of Iowa commanded the close attention
Of the House to personal explanations made by
them in reply to the charges Of a CORE
spondent Of The Cincinnati Gazette writing
from Dubuque, Iowa. The correspondent
charged them with having received q large sum of
money for changing the route of the Sioux City Rail-
way in Iowa. They pronounce the statements as
maliciously false and libeous in every particular
and had read the affidavit Of the President of the
road as further proof of the truth of what they
stated. The scene was very affecting, every one
present being greved and panied that man of Mr.
Wilson's known honesty and integrity should
be compelled to publicly yindcate him
self, just as he was about to retire
from body where he is so highly esteemed. Judge
Lawrence presented his able report the Election
Frauds in New York. and, with surprising rapidity,
put through his bill preventing the Supreme and
Superior Courts of the City of New-York from
session, the Legislative. Executive, and Ju-
dclal Appropriation bill debated in
Committee of the Whole. The most import
ant amendment adopted was one striking out the
appropriation for the salary of Special Commits
siOner of Revenue. The motion was made by Moore
head of Pennsylvania, md sustained by Judge
Kelley in brief speech The vote stood 80 yeas to
81 nays Ii will probably be restored in the House.
Tho protective people intended merely to censure in
light way Mr. Commissioner Wells.
The Ways and Means Committee ut their meeting
to-day, had under consideration the bill introduced
by Representative MoTell, with the amendments of
Commissioner Wells, to prohibit foreign manufac-
tred goods from being placed in bonded warehouses,
and to enforce payment Of duty within GO days. under
penalty of forfeiture of the goods thus placing Amer
lean and foreign manufactured goods upon the same
footing. The Committee did not fully determine
action this BILL but will have it ready to report
at their next meeting. The Senate Finance Commit
tee at their meeting to-day had under consideration
the bill reported by Mr. Hooper, from the Ways and
Means Committee and which passed the House, pro-
hbiting the further increase of the public debt and
the payment of commissions for the sale or negotia
ton of bonds OF coin, and providing for their sale
by advertising proposals for the same The Com
mItee were unable to agree upon all the provisions
of the BILL the first and fourth sections seemed to
conflict 1t is probable that the Committee will
modify them somewhat by amendments that
will relieve it from misconstruction
