The oath was administered 10 me i'm New

was there i took it, He next told Of the
change which took place in Tilton's religious

THE NEW YORK CANAL INVESTIGATION
The investigation into the alleged canal
fraud IN New York was begun by the Joint
investigating committee on Thursday the
auditor OF the state, Francis $. Thayer being
the first witness sworn. detailing the system
under which the canal superintendentS man
ages its affairs. The Tribune says 1.-The aud
ltorS statements, although they have not
reached the heart of the subject, show that
the whole administration OF canal affairs has
been characterized by careleSsneSs which
DetokeDs an entire disregard of the interests
OF the state, and wonderful lack of con-
scientiousness in the discharge of official
duty. These inevitably opened the door for
malfeasance. The man who would carry on
MS own private business as the canal boards
have managed the business of the state
would be regarded as a fool, deserving bank
ruptcy.
An Albany dispatch says the Senate iudici-
airy committee will report bill giving To
the governor power TO remove any state Off
Ger Tor malversation in office after due hear
ing: The bill was prepared i'm accordance
with resolution, which was passed by the
Senate, lnstructing the committee TO prepare
such bill to carry out one of the suggestions
OF the governors message. 1t is expected
that the canal ring and its friends will OBJ
pose the bill, as ii would be OF great import
ance 10 the governor in pursuing his plans
of reform. The bill carries out provision
of the constitution of 1916, by which the leg
lslature was empowered TO prepare legisla-
ton for the removal OF delinquent officials a
work which has hitherto been neglected..
