The debate on the Queens speech in the
House OF Lords threw more light on the

itself; and the defence Of the action Of the
Ministry by the Premier, Lord BEAcoNs-

The New York Assembly ON the Fraud.

II Is two weeks since our Leg stature met.
II has passed NO laws yet but perhaps the
State has not suffered from the omission.
Before the recess. the Assembly found time
TO pass a resolution aimed against the Silver
bill. This showed laudable determination
on the part Of the members 20 devote a por-
ton of their attention Ia the consideration
~ important subjects relating to the ma
tioual Government. Indeed, the Assembly.
under it, rules. I'M. large standing Com
mttce on Federal Relations. OF course, it &.
cyprrt"l that this committee will promptly
inquire into and report upon all naltcrs of
Federal character that concern tie pcYplr
Of this State.
Coy RoRiNsoN, in his annual message TO
the Legislature, spoke at length Of the
alarming conspiracy whereby citizen of
this state was fraudulantly counted our Of
the Presidency, to which he had been legally
cloctcd, and whereby another citizen Of this
state WA, frauduiently counted into the
Nice-Pres idency, TO which he had not boon
legally elected. Tho-c are questions Of tho
eraNc-t con~"quenre, They vitality concern
cvory ono Of the five millions of pcuul,, az
this state. That portion Of the Governor 4,
message on this subject went to the A-som-
bly'- c lnmttcc on Federal Rollllon-. That
committee should take prompt action. II
GOV. RoBlSsONs charges arc true, our poo
pie should be- 50 informed by the committee.
II the charges are false, the committee
should demand of the Governor that he pub
licly retract them; and il he refuses to DO
this, they ought to recommend his lmpcach-
ment,
We are informed that the Committee on
Federal Relations have as yet taken no
steps in this matter. In that case, some
