NAMED BY THE LEGISLATURE.


BY ALDRIDGE. ADAMS AND THE GOVERNOR
ARATHFR LIVELY DEBATE IN THE SEN
ATE-GRADY SHOWS HIS TEETH.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE1
Albany. Jan. 12.The canal deficiency OF ST.,
00o,0O0 is to be investigated by committee
composed Of eminent citizens Of the State. When
that committee makes its report the voters will
be in position 10 decide whether or not they
wish TO expend $l6.OOO0OO in all in charging
the Erie. Osvego and Champlain canals.

course Of a brief debate in the Senate on canal
resolution offered by Senator Brush, set him
self apart from his owSenators by making
violent attack on the New-York Chamber Of
Commerce.
state Engineer Adams and Superintendent
Aldridge assert that the enlargement Of the
canals cannot be made for S9OOOOOO and that
another large sum- will be required. They
then suggest that a committee be appointed
composed Of the "ablest and most impartial citi-
zens." and the advice of the NewYork Chamber
Of Commerce is suggested They invite thor-
ough inspection of the work done by them.
The only comment made on this letter so far
comes from the Senator's and Assemblymen who
represent nOn~canal counties. They say that
they hope the committee is not 10 he composed
