Ausawy, March 25, 1867, RAILROAD THROUGH CENTRAL PARK, The Committee on Railroads favorably reported this morning the bill to incorporate the City Transverse Rail- road Company, whose road is to run from Seventy- seventh street, North river, to Eighth avenue, at Seventy- ninth street, thence through the Park via the Transverse Road to Fifth avenue, and thence to the Astoria ferry, at the foot of East Ninety-second street, OPPOSITION TO THE TURER TIER ROAD. The Hudson river train ffom New York deposited this afternoon a load of some twenty individuals, who, after dinner at the hotel, were marshaled to the Senate Cham- ber at the Capitol, where, ranging themselves in the august circle of seats of that apartment they proceeded to open their batteries upom the Rail- road Committee, who were im session for the purpose of hearing remonstrances against the Three Tier bill ‘The twenty individuals numbered some of the “heavy men’’ of your city, beginning with John J. Astor, Jr. ‘Mr. Mitchell read the resolutions adopted at the meeting in New York, after which the counsel of the objection- able road inquired what amount of ‘material aid” the Finance Committee had on band te accomplish the de- feat of the bill. His party would like to know how much they would have to fight against, The prim Mr. Suther- land sprang to bis feet, jerked up his shirt coliar, put his thumb in his vest and declared the inquiry was one not worthy of answer—in fact it might be called impertinent im a degree. Addresses were made by Messrs, Lord and Vermilyo, The cross firing was endod by the interpoai- tion of the Chairman of the committee. As I prophesied in my last letter, the fight between the two sets of lob- byists for and against the bill promises to be a very en- tertaining one. THE USURY Laws. In the senate to-night a memorial wes presented from the New York Chamber of Commerce asking the repeal or modification of the present Usury law, on the ground that it did not attain its object, the prevention of fluc- tuations in the money market; on the contrary, values were never s0 unstable—an evil which permission to increase the rate of interest would remedy. THR PURLIC MARKETS BILL was reached in the Assembly to-night, Mr. Irving, in ebating it, said it was dopriving five thousand men of their rights, and putting them in the power of five or six commissioners, There is an ovident disinclination to discuss the bill as yet, 80 a motion to report progress immediately prevailed. ‘TROUBLE BETWEEN THE RAILROAD AND FERRY PEOPLE, There was considerable excitement to-day at the railroad ferry in consequence of a diMeulty betwoen the proprietors of the South ferry and the officers of the Western, or Boston, Railroad Company. The South ferry proprietors purchased the land adjoining the forry sliy, used by the railroad company, and said company not having removed the bridge and other property at- tached within a specified time, the proprietors denied their right to take it away. The railroad folks, however, to-day brought a large party to the spot and removed the bridge by force, At one time a serious riot was threatened, the crowd being large and various woapons drawn, but after a few arrests quiet was restored.

T hope that all tke States included'in that part of our country which is suffering from the results of the recent war may, sooner or later, according to their needs, re- ceive more or joss of the benefit of the fund. But it was not my design to bind my trustees to dis- tribute the benefits of dig fund upon any measure of proportion among the States, or to create any claim on the part of any State to any distributive share. Still less did I gongs to subject th ramees, eoltec. Uvely or individually, to any responsibility to those in- tended to be benefited or to any individual responsi- bility of any sort, for the management of the fund com- mftied to them. Thave entire confidence that they will discharge the trust with wisdom, equity and fidelity, and I leave all the details of pens er to no discretion.
