TRENTON, Jan. 21.-The Legislature met at
10 O'Clock this In the Senate but little business
was transacted Though, following the example Of the
Assembly Senators voted themselves S2 worth OF post
age stamps each. Messrs Mcpherson, Taylor, Williams,
and Wood voted in the negative. In the House
resolution was introduced by Mr.. Ryder OF Hudson
asking that a committee be appointed 10 inquire
into the charges made against the manner In when the
stanhope Railroad charter tampered with at the
session Of last year and that the committee have power
to send for persons and papers This resolution is con-
sidered monopoly scheme. 1t created eOnsideraoie
surprise with the opposition and the House could do no
more business owing TO the sensation and ad-
iourned TO the afternoon 10 talk over the
matter, and discuss who might be on the COM
mttee. The Speaker asserts openly that he is opposed
all monopoes and they need not look for any quarter
him. OF the 60 members OF the House. 49, 1t is sad
are pledged to oppose every scheme and plan which the
monopolists may set foot. But the Pennsylvania
men hold the Senate and therefore Illustrate all the
good projects which may originate In the House. 1t is
reported however. this Afternoon that the Mddlesex
Senator WILL the proper time, withdraw his support
from the Pennsylvania road.
when the House ireassembled the Speaker appointed
Messrs Ryder, Carse Macknet, A. j. Smith, and Mutch-
Ter as the Committee Investigate the charges against
the stanhope Railroad. This Committee is rather mixed
and it is doubtful If its investigations will amount to
anything OF bring forth any further light upon the
stanhope affair than what was shown before the
courts. Nobody knows where Mr. Ryder, the Chairman
of the Committee stands Carse and Mutchler under
stood oppose monopoly, while Macknet and Smith are
Pennsylvania Railroad men. OF course the monpolists
will endeayor to destroy stanhope by having
this Committee report fraudulent. But 1t is doubt
full if such report would be received by the House Be
fore the committee named Mr. Garfield offered the
following supplement to the previous resolution which
