Albany, Feb. 22, 1854, In the early part of the session of the present Legtla- ture, Mr. A. B, Dickiason made several speeches in the Benate on the subject of the public lands belongiog to the Common School Fund of the State, and distinstly cbarged that the Iste Commissioners of the Land Office had squan- Gered immense portions of thoee lands upon political fe- vorives, to the great detriment o! the above fand, Toese charges became so frequent, d’rect and distinct, that the Senate finally concluded that an ii tion should be had into the conduc: of the late State offizers, and there- fore appointed = committees, A month or more hes elapsed since this commission was organised, and up to this time no report has been submitted, sad it 1s doubted whether any steps bave been taken to arrive at the facta. ‘The lands alluded to lie in the counties of Herkimer aad Hamilton, and are {papproachable by any optning, elther by roads or canals. A few years since a comp! was orgsnised, known as the Sackett’s Hirbor and dara- toga Railroad Compary, ostensibly for the purpose of con, strusting a road from Lake Ontario to Saratoga, ranuing mostly through these lania, Asan inducement to open that region of sequestered acd impenetrable wilderness, the L gislature authorized the Commissioners of the Land Office te sell large alternate sections of those /aads to the company for the nominal sun of five cents an acre, in eonsideration of expending a c*rtain am ant of money upon the road, or by making # deposit of « certain sam im the treasury. Under the latter requisition, very large quantities of these lanis bave been thus secured by placing the sum of some five thovssud dollars in the treasury, The company has expended small amounts in procuring surveys, which cemonstrated the fact, as is alleged, that it ia {mpracticabls to build a road throug the region originally contemplated; acd efforts are, there. fore, now making to induce the Legislature to allow the road to take an entirely different route; that is to sey, ipatead of running direectly from Saratogs to Sackett’s Hartor, by way of the Fish House, slong the east branch of the Sacondaga river, passing through the Moone river townahip, through John Browa’s tract, and so to the vil- e in Jefferson county. they petition for ¢ of runing from Saratoge northerly Falls, thence to Cuildvell, alovg the middle branch of the Hudson river to Jubmsbarg, Warren csunty, and themce westerly across the north exd of Hariltop county to Carthage 4&5, ropping an eatirely different route, of double the dis tance.
