Aunany, March 1, 1859. The Senatorial Investigation Relative to the Lobby—The Origin of the Affair—Serious Joke—Attempts to Stifle Inquiry—Look to the Senate, de. Although it has yet made but little noise abroad, there never was a stronger undercurrent of excitement around the State Capitol than at this moment. The formidable army of lobbymen, from the Major-General down to the bumblest private, are in @ state of intenee anxiety and apprehension. This condition of things has been unex- Pectedly brought about by the reference of that portion of the Governor's message relating to the lobby to the Standing Committee on Public Buildings, consisting of Messrs. 0. B. Wheeler, Doherty and Ames. The true history of the matter is interesting, and affords a striking illustration of the fact that eveu the shrewdest men are Hable to be caught in their own trap. It would be dis- courteous to Gov. Morgan to tutimate that he was insin- cere when he denounced the lobby im his message, and threatened to veto passed through its influence. It is not to be supposed that a chief magistrate of the Empire State would so far play the part of demagogue as to make 80 dignified a paper as the annual message a vehicle of bumcombe. Undoubtedly he was aware that there had been corrupt legislation, and this knowlekge must have been derived from reliable sources; other he would not, of course, have presented it to the especial atteution of the I<gislature. The message was provounced by the Governor's friends as a mote! commnnication in all its parts. His perty: press dwell jcularly on that portion Of it relating to the lobby, as ab executive blow in the right direction. Iu the Atsembiy the abie geviiemau from Oneida virtually challeuged the opposition to pick a faw in wt. Jt was while the Governor and his message were thus Teceiving tbe plaodits of bis partisans wa all sides that the honorable Senator from the Kingdom of Westport, up in Eseex, unwittingly iuitiated a proceeding which’ he would not probably have doue could he have foreseen the terrible uneasiness it hes produced in the camp of his brethren. In order to enliven the dail routine of the Senate by a little sport at the expe: of the Committee on Public Buildings, which has usually nothing to do, the fanny “‘gentieman trom the Sixte * moved the refe- rence of the lopby portion sage to it, and the Thajority of the Senate, catching the humor of the mover, adopted it with a broad grin, The Hon. O. B. Wheeler, chairman of the committce, however, entered upon the duties thus imposed upon him with zeal and earnestness, He asked for power to eend for persous and papers, which could not, with any degree of consistency, be denied, At this point, when subpcenas were about to be issued, a very porceptible cbange overpread the physiognom! not only of the jobb; but the origmal supporters of the as to arrest all further investi- pig hae wr Dives considered a high offence, NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 7, 1859, Tle contended that the offermg a bribe to the clerk | se abride to the committee; aud aa offence committed pat haba o the stan ting committees of the Seaxte was a direct attempt to corenpt the Senate iteelf. Mr. Senator Diven, in sustaining this position, recited the most umate- rial portions of the testimony ‘of Eatoa, Marpay (the clerk) and a Mr. Brighawi—a gentleman formerly con- nected with the newspaper press. Seaator Diven, after sviewing the testimony, inquired: Qos the Seaae stand exonerated? Has a member of the Logisiatare made offers to a friend of the Chairmal (Mr. 0. BL Wheeler) for bis influence to suppress this 1uvestigation? Mr. D. waa propared w pay thas the Senator from the Ninth (Mr, W.) bad been fully sustained—his state. ments clearly substantiated. Money had been of. ferep to stop the investigation. The testimoay showed that Mr. Boaghton, a member of the Assemly from Saratoga, with other persons, were frequenty in covversation in regard to this investigation; Mr. Boughton approaches Murphy, the clerk, and says, if tho object of the committee is to make mon you can doit better outside the committee than inside, (measing that the lobby would pay better to have the investigation ar- rested.) Ifcorrupuon stalked about the Capitol, let us tarn out the money changers and those who sell doves. The Senator, believing in the guilt of the man Eaton, offered this resolution, after addressing the Senate for more than ap hour in one of the most able, earnest and eloqueat ‘speeches ever made in that chamber:— Resolved, That Hiram W. Eaton be taken in charge by the Sergenttat Arms, aud brought before ius Sonalo vo adore (or contempt of this body. canes ht A. Wheeler and Bare edireneeds tho eae powe speeches in opposi wo stand taken by Kenator Diven, both contending that there nothing in the testimony that went to sustain the ac- lion contemplated by the resolution of Sena- tor Diven. @ result will be that neither Eston nor any ono else will bo arrested for contempt of the Senate; that the Senate will discharge Senator Loveland’s commitiee; afew more witnesses will be examinod by the Bridge Committee, when they will also be discharged; the lobby cbuckie at their victory, and the houor, digaity and do. corum of the Senate of the State of New York, free and pure end uncontaminated, and legislation for the next five weeks proseed in its legitimate channel, leaving tho Sup- ny bu to foot up all expenses and ‘deficiencies "” e bill regulating the whartago of the city of New York and Brooklyn, which lies on the table, Senator Amos, who represents Oswego, wanted to be referred to the Commit- tee of the Whole. Senator Ely thought the Senators from New York and Brooklyn ought to have been consulted with regard to such an important measure, which deeply interested their constituests; aud upon taking the ques- tion for such a reference, strange a3 it seems, it obtai a political vote, the republicaus refusing to allow such re- ference. Senator Sion remarked that he comprises a minority of the committee which reported the bill, but he ‘was not aware that the majority intended to present a written report; if he bad entertained any such idea, he would have presented a couvter report, undertaking to show the impropriety of compelling the shipping interest to pay something like a million of dollars, in addition to the amount now collected from them for wharfage. Sena- tor Sloan will present a written report against the bill on Tuesday next. The Chamber of Commerce remonstrate against the bill. The Registry law bas most assuredly a ‘hard road to travel.” The moment when the few friends of the bill under consideration imagined everything properly ranged for its passage, up jumps Mr. Brockway, repul can, of Orange, aud offers 4 substitute, conferring all the registrar powers upon inspectors of elections. Immoiliate- ly such strong republicans as Speaker Littlejohn, Mr. Covkling, 8. A. Lyon, Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Morris, Mr. Totbill, Mr. Shepard, and others, favored this amendmont. The ovly person on’ the floor who seemed to have avy opposition was Mr. Spencer, of New York. Ho said it was the shadow, not the substance, of a Registry law—a manukin, baying askin, but neither muscie, Heart nor blood. It throws the registry into the hands of inspec- tors of election, One of the reasons why his constitu. ents desired a Registry law was that this sub- ject should be taken out of the hands of these in Spectors. Most of them are merely ballot box stulfars, and some of them are so stupid that even last year they bad to make their mark. Many of theni in New*York are keepers of the lowest class of grog shops. He would not like to trust the registry with such men, nor would his constituents be willing to doso. If the substitute pasees we would only be where we are now—in the hands of inspectors, It leaves the inspectors to make up just such a list as they pleas», only three weeks before tne eleo- ton; aud he did not know that it provides any remedy, Does this not begin to look as if the republicans appear- ed unable to agree upon a Registry law? motion, The matte: brought forward in the Senate again, when an attempt was made to dispose of it by con- veying the idea, substantially, that the motion of refe- Tebce was made and adopted only in a Pickwickian sense, without any intention of allowing it to lead to any- thing serious. Hereupon the chairman gave the Se- nate to understand in pretty emphatit language that if the design of the motion was to play with him they bad mistaken their man; that he was prepared to rove corruption; that even his committee had already een tampered with; and finally bit tue mail square on the head by declaring that be had learned suffcient to eon- vince him the Governor was right in his message, and that be would stend by bis Fxcellency in the position he had taken against the lobby though every one of his republi- can friends should desert him. The thing vow began to assume aserious face. The third house was in commotion Prominent gentlemen, who have long been in the habit of pulling the political ‘Wires, were seen flitting through the antechambers, and a general system of whirpering and buttonholing was inau- urated. Inetead of supporting the chairman, and giving im the power be asks to ferret out the abuses of which he is on the track, a majority of the Senate has restricted and hampered the investigation by confiniwg the commit- tee to the examination of a singic case ata time, and by Appointing another committee to agcertain the veracity of 0. B. Wheeler's etatements on the floor, for that, in fact, iB all it amounts to. Thus two committees are at work. Generally, in the forenoon, the committee ap pointed to investigate the chairman's charges asgemble, at which Mr. Wheeler appears to the eye of the spectator apparently occupying the position of a man on trial; and in the afternoon his committee meets, and pursue, as far a3 practicable, their labors. Different journals, in various quarters of the State, have complained of the dilatory mauner in which Mr. Wheeler's committee has proceeded. They are not informed of the obstacles that have been thrown in ite way. His course is not approved, with perhaps one or two exceptions, by the republican Senators. The exceptions will be mer tioned in a future communication. The Sergeant-at-Arms, ‘whose business is to serve subpoenas, it is openly alleged, bas been induced to avoid the faithful performance of bis duties. Men who volunteer their testimony to insult the chairman, by speaking of ‘incapacity,’ ing ““pfluenced’’ and “engineered,’’ dectine to answer material questions on the frivoous pretext that they do uot con- Btrve the resolution under which the committee acts as authorizing it to ask such questions. Asa specimen of the fairness with which this whole matter is conducted, let me give you one iilostration: By a resolution of the Senate, witnesses before the first Committee are allowed to appear by counsel. The lobby are aleo allowed that privilege, and are punctually and faithfully represented by Mr. Peter Cagger, who openly states he appears for them, but declines to disclose, when on the stand as a witness, who they are. But when Mr. Wheeler asks the same jrivilege before the second com mittee it is refused, ag will be seen by the following report of Senate edings yesterday :— Mr. 0. B. Warxtsn moved the following:— Resoived, That the select committee appointed to investigate the charges made byfenstor 0. B. Wheeler be instructed to allow him toappear before aaid committee, in person and by counsel, and cross examine witnesses and introduce witnesses to substantiate the charges made by him in his place in the Senate on the L2thday of February; and that the chairman of Said committee pe instructed to subpeua such witnesses to ap- pear before said cmmitice as Senator Whecler may name Personally or by counsel. Mr. Smith moved to lay the resolution on the table. Carried, a8 follows:— Arrs—Messrs. Boardman, Diven, Foote, Halsted, Hubbell, pee ee Soott,t3mith, Truman, ‘aYs—Messrs. Brandreth, Burhans, Ely, 7 i Mather, 0. 8. Wheeler, Joh D: Willan? /°UNNM Talo @ main obstacie to the investigation is the mysterious absence of witnesses. When it was announced the Albany Bridge bill would be taken up, certain gentie- men who were known to be active in procuring its pas- fage, and who are particularly interested in the Central Railroad, suddenly disappeared. ‘There ig a vast amount of speculation #8 to the whereabouts of Mr. Davidson, « ‘ther of Erastus Corning, and of Mr. Rapdail, au attaché, some capacity, of the ral; and wagers of five to one are freely offered that ucither wili make his appearance publicly in Albany uatii the islature adjouras or the committee is discharged. If it is busin has hap- ened to cail both gentlemen, as well as some oth. ers, qway, just at this time, to some remote region un- known to anybody, it is, to ‘say the ieast, a gngular cir- cumstance. E Notwithstanding the difficulties under which they labor, the majority of the committee, consisting of Senators 0: B. Wheeler and Dobor'y, exhibit a determination, unless thwarted by the action of the body to which they to press the investigation uutil the whole matter i thoroughiy. They are men who cannot be intimidated or ough unpopular with the satellites who re- volve around the great ‘power bebind the throne,’ the People will sustain them.

Another day consumed in the Senate upon the subject of the two investigating committees, In obedience to a resolution adopted yesterday, reports were made in part by both the committees on the Albany Bridge investiga. tion, and the one appointed to inquire into the charges maie by Senator 0. 8B. Wheeler. The reports themselves were innocent documents, merely giving the Senate information Of preceedings so far as they have progressed. Commit- tee No. 2—of which Senitor Loveland is chairman— Feported all the testimony taken; and Senator Scott, in of the committes, stated that nothiog had been elicited requiring the action, of the Senate. Upon this, Senator Mandeville moved to discharge the commit. tee from any further duty. Senator Divon was not prepared for the discharge, because he believed that Gufficient testimony had been addaced which implicated Certain individuals in attempting to corrupt the comm tee On the Bridgo examination.

Just a3 public opinion was sueing in their favor, and they were likely to be let off easy, out comes a little inflammable shect called, by way of bravado, the Sepoy, threatening all sorts of in- cendiarism, and sets the State at defiance.

Verily @ man’s worst enemies are of bis own household. Bygones might bave been bygones; but now the Staten Islanders may have to pay the piper for their brilliant shindy. The resolution for the modification of the constitution of the Court of Appeals is safe, and after a year we will no longer witness the spectacle of biassed Judges sitting in the court of last resort to review their own decisions. The resolution should be amended go as to provide for a life tenure o office on the appointment of the Governor and Senate.

The Inebriate um Appropriation Killed—The Metro- prlitan Police Investigation—More Reports—The Collec: tion f Taxes—Tricl of the Quarantine Rioters—The Damoges from the Conflagation—Mr. Sutherland, of Westchester—The Police Clerks. Doctor Turner, who runs the ‘‘inebriate machine” at mton, came here at an carly stage of the session, and induced the introduction of a bill grasping from the State treasury gome seventy thousand dollars in support of his “drunkard’s asylum.” It wag soon discovered that the State treasury was as empty as an organ grioder’s contribution “box. Then the proposition was made to compel the various counties to coutribute ten per cent of the amount received from liquor licenses. This morning the bill came up for a last reading, and was put upon its final passage, when Senators Hubbell of Utica, Johnson of Albany, and others, interposed objection to this partial method of supporting the inebriate asylum, contending that the institution should receive aid in a general man- ner, the same as the Utica Insane Asylum and other ob- jects of public charity; the money derived from licenses belonged to the respective counties, and was used for the support of the poor and those localities. Mr. Truman, representing a large portion of the Southern tier, was very active and industrious in endeavoring to psocure the ten per cent for Doctor Turner's establishment, but the disposition of the Senate eeemed adverse to the principle of such partial Hopislation and it was thrown aide until Tuesday, Mean- while, it may a8 well be etated that thore exists not the jeast probability that the iustitution can receive any aid by legislative enactment during the present session. So ‘the gentlemen drunkards, for whom the asylum is pro- vided, must content themselves with such’ accommoda- tions as the concern aifords them, until a change of legis- lative opinion. In addition to the report presented by Senator Spinola on the subject of the Metropolitan-police, he introduced a bili for the government of the Police Department of the city of New York. He algo presented a separate and simi- lar bill for the city of Brooklyn. They are quite lengthy, and will be printed; but there is no probability of their pasrage by this Legislature, Mr. Spinola’s report being of the minority, bis colleagues, Mesers. Noxon and 0. It Wheeler, are expected to present reports, but whether conjointly or separately is not yet determined upon. Governor Morgan vetoed one bill extending the time for the collection of taxes. Immediately another one was run throngh both branches, which he signed under the follow- ing protest. Woe fear the Governor haz been waited upon by a lobby of county collectors, who want to retain for another month the pablic money collected.

D, MORGAN, Senator Diven’s resolution, directing that Mr. Raton be taken in charge by the Sergeant-at-Arms, to answer to the charge of attempting to corrupt a commitwe of the Senate, Was vol token op to-day, and probably never will be. The House was occupied a great portion of the time in cour dering and devating the bill providing for the tn- dictment and trial of the supposed Quarantine incendia- ries on Staten Island in the counties of New York and Kings. Mr. Morris, from the county of Yates, had pro- posed & substitute, making it a law applicable to the en- lire State; but before any question was taken that gentle- tan withdrew it, which threw the bill back, as originall; introduced, applying only to the county of Richmond.

Grand Programme for the Next Presidential Campaign— Thurlow Weed Cheating the Black Republicans—Governor Morgan and Comptroller Haws the Chief Tools, dc, The tmpatural silence aud tame stupidity of Governor Weed’s, alias Governor Morgan's administration, up to this time, appears to have escaped public notiee, perbaps be cause rothg better was expected, notwithstanding the promised thorough reformation of the world in the Gover. nor’s first messege. But this silence is ominous of mis- chief, which has already began to develope itself. Gover por Morgan bas orders from Governor Weed to keep stil and look wise; so, preserving that dim atmosphere of dig nity necessary to enable the balance of the menagerie to plunder at their ease, Weed is determined to force Seward’s nomination on the next Republican National Con- vention. Greeley, Wardeworth, Ward Hunt, Clapp of Buffalo, &¢., &¢., and the men they reoresent, refuse tobe tied hand foot in advance, so they must quietly be hand- cuffed and gagged into submission. ‘The first act in this perlormance is for Weed to flil every office that can be made or eecized with a creaturo of his own. Either one who has earned the confidence of his master by years of subserviency and blind obedience, or else, in case of honorary appointments, a man whose long purse strings can be be made to stretch to their utmost limit when needed. A few cases in point will amply confirm the above. Governor Morgan set out with anathematising the lobby; he would sign no bill passed under their auspices; Gover- nor Morgan hag vetoed but one bill thus far, and that be- cause it bad no friends; Governor Morgan bas orders to let the lobby alone and not raise an unn dust and noise; Governor Morgan has been advised of hettar fish for bis net than the poor scaly lobby—so Governor Morgaa keeps silent and the lobby thrives. The example of Go- verbor King is held up to Governor Morgan as a warning against interfering with the lobby and politicians. Go- vernor Morgan fe taken “under the shed” and quietly told” that “the people”’ are the fellows to cheat, not the lobby, and Governor Morgan, like a true original pipelayer, obeys orders. But Gov. Morgan must not be merely ; he must provide places and plunder for Gov. army; he must not content himecif, either, wih merely filling vacances as they occur; ra new office that can be made, must be made; every office that can’t be reached in any other way, must be reconstructed—the ins turned out and outs Rt, in; and every office wihoners now filled with the faithful, must be made to pay. ‘a the plat- form, and it haa been faithfally adhered to so far: witness the attempt now making to take the insurance business it, and create a new = ooena sper dey ¥ % office, with a o 8 yearjattached, to be called the issurance Bursen; wholly iocemary Gar manne tured expressly for Gov.

RATES OF WHARFAGE IN THE PORT OF NEW YORK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Notwithstanding the well known fact that our wharves are in a most dilapidated and unsafe condition, that the slips are shallow and fast filling up, that it has been clearly established and plainly represented by the Comptroller of this city that the wharves do not pay three per cent on the cost of construction, that the Common Council, the Harbor Commissioners, and the committees appointed by the Legislature, have all severally and frequently repre- sented that tho interests of the city require an advance on the present rates of wharfage, in order that the wharves may be kept in proper repair, and notwithstanding the fact that the rates charged in this city are considerably under those of any portof importance in this or any other country—notwithstanding all this, we seo that the Sepate of this State have laid upon the table a bill re- ported favorably upon by the Committee on Commerco of that body increasing the rates to something near a pay- ing standard. e cannot think that the Senate was misled by tho base assertion of Mr. Sloan, of Brooklyn, that the bill would “impose an annual tax of a million of dollars upon the citizens of New York and Brooklyn,” because if they had given the question five minutes’ consideration they would have seen at once that the assertion was plainly vp refute that cha: have prepared the follow! refute that charge we have pi 6 following table, showing the entire amount of wharfage collected in the harbor of New York in one year, based upon the number of vessels at present in port, which is a fair ave- rage, including those at the Atlantic Docks, and also those lying at anchor in the stream and at Jersey City:— of a mill on the Ttimposes fees on the insurance For Wharfage 1868? “sie ‘900 261 400 121 200 90 100 104 % 12 610 vessels, paying per day .......sap esses seeees $870 —Amounting'ie the year to $317,880, hie increase in the rates which ‘has been demanded of the Le; would Rot amount to over seventy-five per cent, taking in all classes of vessels, which would increase the tax to only about one-fifth the amount stated by Mr. Sioan. It is hardly necessary to again repeat that the wharves in this city will not and cannot be kept in proper repair under the present rates charged upon vessels. There are a number of piers now ina condition which would be a disgrace to any fourth rate port in the civilized world, and nearly all are more or less out of repair, The remedy lies entirely in the Legislature, and if they permit our wharves go on in this way, from bad to worse, with them will rest the responsibility. TINKERING OF THE MILITIA LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tt was to be hoped that, if changes were made in refe- rence to militia commutations and fines, it would result in their entire abolition, and that, in exchange, the several companies and regiments would be provided with suitable and liberal accommodations, in the same manner as our fire companies now are. The laws, as they now exist, upon that subject, are certainly bad enough, in their prac- tical operations, but they are entitled to credit for a com- mendable brevity—one section defining who are Hable to military.duty, another the commutation that will exempt them, and the third the amount of fine imposed for de- fauit. Now, it appears by a draft of a law before us, that it is proposed to ask the Legislature to engraft upon the Present laws twenty-seven mortal sections, all devoted to this subject, and creating a grand, or rather a division marebal, to rank ag colonel, with an indefinite number of appointecs to watch over and enforce thom. It also pro- poses to create a permanent division marehal’s office, the expenses of which are wholly unlimited, but to pay which, by section 15, the first dip ia to be made into the fand to be accumulated. Apart, however, from the want of proper checks and balances, as well as tedious complications, many of the proposed amendments are in direct conflict with the laws of Congress; while, under the constitution of the United States, giving that power to the general government, the State legislatures can only make laws where Congress has failed todo so, and certainly in no cage in antagonism thereto. Buta quotation of a single section out of the twenty seven will indicate the spirit in which the amend- ments are introduced, and in which it may be expected they would be carried out should they become a part of Wi \y person of whom int uired by the Sec. 9. If an formation is, Division Marshal or bis assistants. in order to enable them to comply with the provisions of this shall refuse to {nformation, or shall’ give. {alee tnfor ‘he abel forte mation, or shall give ore pak ten dollars ey item of tnt the Division Marshal or his Asmstan | a feit and pay a like court of com, we State Marshal. “Refuse to give proper information!” Who is to be the judge when placed upon the rack? “Shall forfeit and pay ten dollars for each item!” Here js a chance for a spocu- lator, if the Marshal and his unlimited assistants are judi- Cious in itemizing. And these liabilities may be imposed upon “any person,’ whether that has any Interest in op connection with the subject of inquiry. Such a flela for inquisitorial proceedings and petty litigation is not to be approved of or tolerated by our citizens. fu PERSONAL, A W.—THERE IS A LETTER FOR YOU IN THE MADI + fon square Post office.
