AN INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE APPOINTED On
Mr.. TERwILLIGER's CAsE-THE LIMITS of
THE INQUIRY.
ALBANY, Jan. 30.-Through no vOlition OF Mr. Ter
wilhger, through no action of the men VINO nave
the most to gain from the exonerating OF the lhcuI
pated Clerk of the Senate, the Investigation de-
manded by every paper in the State, and by every
honest citizen, has been ordered to-day. fuliy
month Of naction has passed, and the Clerk OF the
Senate has appeared daily in his place, suspected
criminal, and yet he has never chosen to take the
measures that bis friends looked and hoped for The
published adavits were notoriously incompetent to
clear him from the serious charges The people who
made those afiidavits are even now enmeshed in
hopeless mire of fraud and peculation, and it re-
mains to be seen how they are to come from the
examination.
1t no secret that Mr. Terwilliger thought these
afidayits sufficient and that more could be de-
manded from him, until the indignant voice OF the
State opened his eyes to the fact that something
more must be done TO satisfy the public that his
transactions were, he claims perfectly honorable
So, without any warning, Mr.. d. P. Wood arose IN
the Senate to-day on a question of privilege and.
stating that charges had been made against Mr. Ter
wilger, the Clerk Of the Senate, by Mr.. Oracle {;
that these charges had been refuted by the Clerk
and by the Messrs. Parsons; that, by the tone OF
the public press, Mr.. Terwilliger deemed the
refutation be satisfactory therefore he asked
a committee of investigation because the Clerk
was one of his constituents. Mr.. Wood declined TO
name the committee, but hoped some other Senator
would do so. ThereupOn Mr.. Robertson moved that
Messrs Perry, LOwery. and Hardenburgh DO such
committee. which was adopted.
Mr. Woodin, rising TO a question of privilege e1-
planned that in asking the Controller TO report on
printing contracts and bills for 1871 be did not name
that particular year for the purpose Of screening any
official but only for the purpose Of obtaining facts
upon which to base the future action of the Legis-
lature. -
