were recently called for by the Senate on motion
OF Mr.. TRuNDrLL. II seems that Mr. LOGAN was
charged with emben,ling public money and

investigation by the District Attorney the charges
were fully sustained. 1t is understood that pow.

Ono Of the worst bills in the Legislature is
that introduced by Mr.. WILLIAM MARCY TWEED,
to give the Erie Railroad Company the right to
lay down railroad track in Twenty third street,
from North River to the East, without paying
anyth ig for il. The privilege of using that street
for railroad was sold by auction last year BY tho
Hon. \. OlIALL for a large sum of money, but
for some mysterious reason the parties who bought
IT and who were ready 10 pay never could get the
necessary bill Of sale. II a railroad is now to be
laid down in that street, the privilege should be
sold for the benefit Of the sinking fund, aud not
given away. II is believed, also, that the Erie
Company want it not for passenger road, but
ior freight cars exclusively, which will he brought

this poor mule by his ragged, straw-pro-

his ears, and, roughly jerking him to a dead

porting to have BEEN written By the Admiral, re-
commencing the assimilation Of payma-tcrs' rank

been expressed US to the genuincncss Of the let

ing; after examining very carefully the letter
referred to. have no hesitation in saying that
the composition is not mine, and that although

what was lis purposef And how did he get il

when such amount does not exceed the sum OF
