‘Tragedy. The Oberokec Chiefs. Tax Heawiraer.—We notice Tee se, ap oman ee The Wosk of the New York Legisiature. out elaborate discussion. The Prohibivory law takes 4 prominent pomtion, A bill is in the hands of a select committee of the House, which proposes to repeal the law of last ncesion, which has been so universally disre- garded. Of course Mr. Speaker Robinson selected that committee promiscuously from the House, without any Particular knowledge of the preferences of any member, except perbape the chairman, Mr. Glover. Upon inquiry, it appears that 2 majority of the committee—namely, Messrs. Glover, Taylor and Matteson—are in favor of un- conditional repeal, whilat Messrs. Dudley and Green etand committed for the law. The majority are engaged in preparing © report embodying all the reasons which have been given by fee’d lawyers during the last six months sguinst the constitutionality of the Prohibitory law. It is very much coubted whether a majority of the House are in favor of ite reyeai; it is certain that the Senate will not yield; and if, perchance, a repeal bill should pass both houses, it will receive a prompt veto in the executive chamber. In the meanvime the sincere riends of temperance are proporing amendments to the present law, but will make no movement uatil the case shall come out vt the Court of Apoeuls, Another effort is being m-de to compel railroads to pay canal tole on freight. ‘The bill intzoduced in the House includes omiy the Cenirs}, end syracuse and Oswego roads.

Tne & bocy of the people in the State are proprietors of the canals, acd the Lag viature is presumed to be the choren guardian of she whole peopls’s interest. The railrcads are private corporations, with vitality them by the Legislature, avd under the contro! of and managers of wore ability, tact, enterprise and ent than i3 ever found either in execu- live, legislative or clerical d-partments of the State go- vernment.
