The bill authorizes the Secretary of

Of the work; to take all preliminary
steps sar securing the entire franchise
of the Canal Company, which is ia
their posesssaa, and ia fact. places it as

the conclusion Is unavoidable that they
must have helped sustain Ms motor.
But that they did not SO vote being
known t" every person present, proof is
complete that they at no time had such
a majority as claimed, or any majority
at all.
1t Is not In the least degree true that
the chairman had any communication,
or hint to his knowledge, in relation to
emitting to put the main question,
except as before mentioned from the
/ Secretary. nor any other improper com
nasnications at any stage Of the proceed
ings.
Acknowledging deficiency in skill to
preside over such a body. it is proper to
call 10 mind the fac. that the Chair can
not dictate what motions shall be made
or " no shall make them, and the ques-
ton arises as to how Mr.. Q could be SO
mistaken in conclusion and matter of
fac. as to unh esi,atingly charge malice,
COLLISION, &c.
ansrer: Whea is is known that he
had said that Ne would go into conven-
ton and aefea. Smyth; that he did go TO
Upton uttering vile epi,hets against
him, aud tried his seductive powers
upon such of Smyth's friends Is he sup
posed to I've foolish enough To yield to
such arguments; and that he was too
much excited 20 know well what was
done, so much so that at times he fan
cied himself chairnan' AMI yet thought
himself able to distinguish all the new
voters by their tickets, aud tina. not one,

conveution-Nnent this is all known. it
can be easily understood that under the
disappointment Of det-a. lac might
really feel that it was pl5,ic calamity
requiring denaaeiatioa aud charge any
thing upon anybody a. its cause.

Of the Con ? ntion with other I'm /

In answer to the unfair charges and !
statements Of 20" whom understand |
TO 30 Mr.. 4. G. Miller, of Mechanics
Vile, in An article on the above Conven- |
ton recently published in the Upton
and Mechanicsville papers, will make
. brief statement of the occurrences
called in question.
First, I think the chairman had less
anxiety about the result of the conven
ton than most Of those present, (partic-
tularly those having disease of the era
MUM vulgarly called sore head.O and
know that he had collision" with no
ono to effect that result.
Flcts about the proceedings:
1t il not true as %" says, that the
chairman announced the vote finap' on
the passage Of Mr.. Butterield's amend
ment but he did for a short time mad.
vertantly treat it as such by making
suggestions about ascertaining what
townships were represented, until, in
'the discharge of his duty. the Secre tary
openly inquired how the record was to
ibe made-whether the motion as
amended had been put to vote. Upon
this, the fact Of the commission was dis
stinctly stated, and the announcement
made that the error would be corrected
by putting upon its passage the motion
IS amended. Objec ton was made to
this by the friends of the amendment on
the ground that 1t was put as a subst:-
cute for the orig;na motion, which was
mot really the case. During short con-
.sequent delay in considering points of
.or,ier, caused as much by the opposition
-ns by Smith men, and with no appa-
trent evil intention on the part Of any
.one, Mr.. Maley's amendment, after
wards changed to q substitute, was
offered. Points of order were at once
raised by "Q's- eiee Of the house, after
the consideration Of which, the Chair
.felt bound to entsrt2fE the motion. sta
thug that the convention must be judge
OF its utility. This motion soon carried
lengthy debate having been prevented
tythe previous question, Moved and
sustained by Smyth men. 1t is proper
to state here that the motion was only
entertained fer the .purpase ef sustain
ing Mr.. Ms rights, hoping that plan
tending to prolong business would not
be adopted; and when an effort to elect
delegates under it showed its impracti-
cability, . more efficient mode was
proposed by the smyth men aud accept
ed by the opposition. The change,
however, was only in the manler o
voting, the vote being under Maley's
substitute.
SO far a. could determine. the vote
an Butterfield's amendment was by nc
means ; party or test vote, IS 90
claims, for some leading SRyth men
openly sustained and promptly voted
for Il. Maley's motion. made without
prevjous conference, seems to have been
ofIsred with the idea Of preventing the
change Of the meetlpg from Mass to q
Delegate convention, and as such, seems
% have carried; and II It be true, as @
plaims, that the epti.SDyth men had q
slear majority, (for the ~ hours Of
spacking' had not yet eommenced.)

Mogey Matters.

New York, January 1.-THE
officers in the Gold Room were
thrown into great confusion this after
noon by the refusal of the Gold
Exchange Bank, the clearing house
of the Gold Room, to clear the con
tracts maturing to. day. The reoson
for the refusal was that a leading
firm, Marvin Brothers 4 Co, who
had rot $500, 600 in gold. going into
the bank, refused TO deposit the same
until q certified check was given
them for the currency coming to
them. 4 Ike case occurred yester-
day with the firm of Trevor Il Col
gate. The bauk declined to give this
certified check, and TO dealers the
Statements fled to day by Marvin
Bros. and Trevor Il Colgate, made
their demands because of the want of
confidence 10 the bank, they, as deal
ers, would be obliged TO deposit their
gold checks at half past II o'clock,
and could not receive money coming
10 them before half-past Que, or until
ali the statements had been adjusted
The Gold Exchange went into ex-
ecutige session this afternoon, and
esolutions we're offered TO expel Tas-
ker II. Marbin, Of Marvin, Bros. 4
Co, for violation of the rules OF the
Exchange.
The Introduction OF resolutions was
followed by N angry a-d excited dis.
eussiOn, after which an amendment
10 the resolution was offered to expel
Colgate, OF the firm Of Trevor < Cyl
| gate. which was not acted on.
The vote for the expulsion of Mar
vim was taken by yeas and nays. The
whole vote was 169, of which ia
were in favor Of expulsion, the requi
siae two-thirds. Af.er the result was
known, q resolution was passed that
clearings through the Gold Exchange
Bank be resumed morrow, bu
that all contracts with Marvin, Bros
& Go. be thrown out. The excite
ment in the room was very great.
The money market was very active
after the troubles in the Gold Rcon
and Bank, and for a time call loan.
we're made at sharp Z per cent. cur
rency to . per cent. coin. Towards
the close OF bank hours, however
matters we're settled aud money wa!
accessible at legal rates. Discount

The creditors OF Richard, Pdtricl
