Before the General Assembly met last
November, the ultra Democratic press. fol-
lowing in the lead of the Sentinel soyed
broadcast over the State the most general
and sweeping charges of bribery, corruption
and fraud, and thus prepared the public
mind for that series of Investigations by the
Legislature, conducted through various
committees, Of which we have Mt Iengtb
seen the conclusion. The effort began in
the House. Violent speeches were made
Instead of standing like a rock and con-
Quoting the Investigations itself, the Repub-
hcan party became disorganized We blame
no one, but all can now see that it was an
error. The Democrats, on the other hand,
united, and with hue and cry urged the in.
vestigations without sufficient proof to
offer as to corruption, or bribery or fraud
A committee was to be dispatched to New |
1ork-but it did not 90, because even |
amid the excitement of the occasion, it was |
"eemed as useless as it appeared extraordi- |

parliamentary skirmlshing, the House re.
solved itselfinto n Committee ofthc Whole

'ading Democrats retired from the Com.
iittec, and washed their hands of It. Sud.

Rational hoard 81 Trade.

BUFFALO, NY, December 8.-The
National Board Of Trade met at 8
o'clock. The delegates from Louis
vile took their seats. After prelimi-
nary proceedings, the Board took ac-
ton upon several questions Of public
importance. First, in reference 60
direct importation to the interiar.
Resolutions were passed, unanimous
ly, asking a modification Of the Treas
ury refutatiOns in regard to the trans
portation of imported goods from the
sea board to che interior, taking
ground that it is not necessary that
cars or vessels should contain no
other goods that thoss shipped In
bond for immediate transportatio
that the commissioners should not be
required to bear the expense Of In
speetors; and that some plan should
be Immediately devised whereby mer-
chandise can be transferred from the
vessel of importation to the vehicle
which is TO carry it to its place Of des
tination.
The resolutions were reported and
unanimously agreed to, expressing the
conviction that the question of the
condition of the Civil Service, and Of
the necessity Of its reform, has become
one Of vital importance, and that the
early passage Of a proper Civil Service
law is required By the moral and ma
terial interests of the country.
On the subject OF railroad receipts
for grain, resolutions were passed, re-
-questiug railroads to give all shippers
of grain bills Of l&diug that would be
good for the quantities called for at
the place Of delivery, and also desiring
interventions Of the Legislatures of
the different States, By the enactment
Of laws compelling railroads to weigh
and receipt for grain taken by them,
and to deliver the same at the place of
destination or pay for the deficiencies.
In reference TO the central system, a
memorial to Congress vas adopted,
asking that body to pass bill for the
establishment of that systeIc of meas
urement in the handling of grain and
other commodities.
Strong resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted in favor of the allowance
of tare on cotton. the Board having
previously passed resolutions in favor
of the abolition of all state laws dis
eliminating against nonresident ira
ders and agents. A reso !ution was
introduced asking Congress to pass q
Law overriding these local regulations.
which, however. did not obtain the re
quisite vote for its passage. The vote
stood on final action, 80 to q
A resolution of respect to the men,.
ory of Hiram Waldbridge, of New
York, recently deceased, who pgesid-
ed at the Convention at Detroit, and
has been present &C every succeeding
meeting of the National Board until
this year, was unanimously passed.
After an eloquent and feeling tribute
to the memory of deceased. the Board
adjourned until tomorrow ct 8
O'Clock. The delegates of the Con-
Vention were handsomely entertained
