Testimony.

The State-house investigating committee con-
Guided the examination Of witnesses last night.
Commissioner W. B. Seward was recalled, and,
in answer TO the question put by Mr.. Mccormick,
'Do the commissioners desire to pay the con-
tractors more than the contract prce?' replied
that they ought TO be paid the cost of the COM
pletion of the work yet to be done. He thinks
they made "A mistake in their bid, and that they
have lost money The cost of the work to be
done, he knows, from careful estimates made ~
Mr.. Seherer, TO be in excess OF the contract price
Mr.. Seward then turned upon Mr.. Mccormick
and asked him if he had stated thar some of the
commissioners were in partnership with
the tine contractors. The latter replied that
he had not. Mr. Mccormick then asked
Chairman Heffren, if he had conducted the in
vestigatlon with an eye single to arriving at the
truth and without prejudice, and Mr.. Hctfren
answered that he had. The 1nterrogat was
then handed round to the several members, and
each put himself on record as above suspicion
or crookednesS. This matter having been salts
raetor1ly settled, Captain John NJ. Goodwin, sec
rotary of the board of commissioners was called
to the stand. Mr.. Mccormick said he had heard
that the witness hitd remarked to Mr.. Bradshaw
that he NIcCormick) was unfrendly to the com
mlssioners and contractors, and that the inves-
tigation had been warped by prejudice and self
interest
Captain Godown replied that that was his i'm
preston. He thought that it was renewal of the
Old fight of four years ago, and that Mccormick
wanted to upset the whole business and have a
new deal. He further said that he thought him
SELF warranted in making such statement.
few supplementary, spirited questions followed,
eliciting answers fnaly as warm.
Mr.. W. p Whitehead, marble dealer, was then
examined relative to the cost of the marble

been purchased cheaper than he could have
furnished them, and that all of the marble work
had been done in skilful and worknanlike
manner,

aged by the recent freshets, and were in an I'M
safe condition. The bridges, he stated, could be

tue work.

mended measures for the protection of property
along the banks of Pogue's run, III the vicinity
OF Catherine and Merrill streets, where lots orig
inally l 10 feet in length had been reduced 10
forty rect, and the board ordered the necessary
improvements.
THE VIRGINIA AVENUE vIADUcr.
The city attorney, in opinion upon the le-
gal barriers to the building of viaduct over the
railway tracks on Virginia avenue, said that
after reviewing the history of attempts which
have been made, he thought there were no legal
distractions in the way of the city build
ing "a viaduct, provided that the stat
ute was complied with in letting the
contract; "and III case the plans contemplate n
change of grade in the whole street, have the
damages assessed ard rendered, as provided in
section 81 of the charter, neither of which were
done in former attempts to construct a VIA
duct"

ferred the bill of j. II. and A. H. Stem. asking
architect fees of zig per cent. on $l49, 640.40,
the estimated cost of construction of the pro-
posed city hail, sub mitted a report, recommend
ing that that the bill be not allowed at this
time" They further reported that the bill of
K. j. Hodgson, for $500, for expert examina-
tion of the Stem plans, which had never been
ordered by the Council and Board of Aldermen,
aad they therefore recommended that this bill
also be not allowed. The report of the COM
mittee was referred to the city hall commits
sloners.
In compliance with the Council resolution re-
questing from the city hall commissioners re-
port of their proceedings up to the present time,
the commissioners submitted O statement,
which among other things showed that under

Gentlemen OF the Senate-The constitution
provides that every bill which shall have passed
the General Assembly snail he presented to the
Governor, and that, II he approve, he shall sign
II, but II not, he shall return IL, with his ohjec
tIons, to the House in which it shall have origi-
mated. 1t further provides that if any bill shall
not be returned by the Governor within three
days, Sunday excepted. after it shall have been
presented to HIM, IL shall he law without his
signature, unless the general adjournment shall
prevent it's return. Senate bill No. l, relating
nevOleng institutions, was presented TO
me on Wednesday, the 18th inst;
Saturday, the 18th inst, had the
Senate been session, was the last day
upon which could have returned the bill with
objections. The Senate not having been in
sion that day. and yesterday having been Sun
day, no doubt is entertained thar IL is competent
for me to return the bill with my objections to-
day. ON Saturday last. however, thinking that
question might possibly be started whether, in
order that the objections might be in season, the
hill should not have been delivered TO the pre-
siding officer of the Senate, if practicable, on
that day along with my objections thereto,
placed the bill in his hands and written state
ment OF my objections to it, ana requested him
to return the bill to the Senate the meeting of
the Senate today and also cause to be commu-
nlcated to the Senate the statement Of objections
which delivered to him. have the honor now
