On Saturday we announced in our
nsily issue, tho vote OF Senator Mer-
ri, of this county, and eight others
;.aipst tho bill introduced by the rail.
road committee IT tho Senate, to reg
ula.c tariffs on railroads.. Tho discus
sion and action had, in the Senate mp
on tho bill, developed the fact that
there were twenty-twc Senators, m
Guiding those Of oil parties, who wcrc
opposed to this bill, because they did
not like its provisions, and three dit.
fcraut substitutes were offered 70 the
bill all OF which received part or all
of the votes Of the twenty-five Sena-
tors aforesaid. One Of the substitutes
was offered by Senator I4arrabee,. Of
Fsyette county, another by fchatof
NrCoid, Of Jefferson county, and The
third by Senator Hcwl9id, Of the ~
senatorial DietricE The latter suhsti.
tute was framed after the recommen-
dssions Of the State Grange Commit
Toe. given 10 the Railroad Committes
Of the Hppse. Senator Rowland, of
fcfiag II is himself a Granger. SenA.
TOT Merrill voted for all these euhsti.
trltes, because he thought al Of them
better than the bill, which passsd, and
stands ready to vote for either ofthces
substitutes to-day, II none hettcr cen

jority of The twenty-tWO Senators
thought, since they could do no better.
they would vote for the bill on its a.
nal passage, Senator Merrill thought
differently, and knowing the bill would
pass the Senate, recorded his vote In
the negative, in full accord with his
convictions. trusting to the future to
sustain him. Opposing the bill Of the
Committee and urging Ssnstors to de-
feat IL, were snch loading members Of

WASHINGTON. March 4.
The representatives. of the commercial in
tcrests of New York and Boston were again
before the ways and means committee to-
day. Mr. Kelly, charmrn pro tenn, stated
that Mr. Jayne would proceed with his rea-
sons why the moiety law should or should
not be changed. The committee desired to
hear nothing more from him about particu-
lar cases if the witness should have to re-
fer to the case as Illustrating his argument.
He said he would have to do so in an i'm
personal manner when he furnished his
statement showing whether the law should
be modified or not and, if modified, in
what direction.
The committee said they would postpone
his examination until after the examination
of other witnesses representing the treasury
department, and then hear business men
and boards of trade of cities on this point /;
the committee reserying the right to call
any witness representing the treasury de-
partmcnt. or any other witness, to cnlight-
en- them as TO the particular operations of
the law. Mr. Jayne then resumed his tcs-
timony, going over the parts relative to
seizures, and argued in favor of the present
system Of rewards under the law. without
which the government would Lose large
sums by fraud.
Mr. Hyde, counsel for the Boston board
of trade, commenced his argument against
the seizure or books and papers and giving
moietics to nformers and others
