It is sale to say, should the House, in committee, berlously consider the Seventy’s charter, in com- lance With the resotution adopted on Thursday jast, that no couclusive vote will ve reached on the Subject velore the end of the present week, if even -then.

SAVINGS BANKS. Senator Tiemann, from tue Committee on Banks, NEW YURK HERALD, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1872.—TRIPLE SHEET, reported to-night the gencral act on savings banks, which the committee have had under considera- tion for some time past a which was exclusively published in the HERALD on Saturday last in its entirety, together with amendments which the committee intend to make to itor, rather, which they will suggest that the Legislature should make a part and 1 of the law. Senator Tiemann, in submitung it to the Sen- ate, stated that before deciding to report upon the bill as the very best one that could be drawn up for the protection of depositors and a prevention of @ recurrence of the abuses which have Created such widespread consi in New York, it was submitted to severa: bank officers and other financtal men. and al) declared that the bill was ‘JUST WHAT WAS WANTED.” It should be mentioned in this connection that the publication of the bill im full in the HERALD on Saturaay has created quite a lively excitement. Had it simply been introauced by some one Senator, the fact of its being made public before- hand would have been of itself something to wonder al: bub as it was the summmum bonum of the commitice’s deliberation for weeks past, and the precise nature of which no person not a member of he commitiee had the slightest idea of until to- night, ‘rhe publication of it by the HERALD three 8 before being introduced in the Senate bas naturally given rise to no small amount of Ip among the men who move and have their being in legislative political centres, Hereaabout the great question seems to be, in the first place, how the HERALD found out that the committee had finally come to @ decision upon a general act for the banks; and secondly, how on earth it got hold of the fulltext of the act before the committee had made known their decision to the Senate. The members of the committee are in a complete fog as to the whole matter. Their consideration of the bill was nota hasty one, but long and well digested, and, above all, not pabito. hey were determined to settle upon a bill that would once for all put an end to special legislation as to savings banks, and, while making it 80 comprehensive as TO COVEK ALL NECESSARY POINTS, that any good special charter may ask for, they were resolved to give to it a strength, a depth that no amount of quibble or trickery or would-be Conkiins could break through To effect this they took into their councils men eminent for their financial wisdom and experi- ence, and the result was the splendid law that Mr. ‘Tiemann reported to-night, 1t would no doubt be wise policy for the committee to have the HERALD tn their confidence before deciding upon the bill; but they did not, and it is because they know they did not that they sre now so mystified as to how the HERALD not only kept even pace with them during their deliberation, but also exclusively ive the general public the full results of their fabors—the bill itself —word for word, and that be- tore they had time to make it Known to the Senute that they had decided upon a good general act. It 1s not yet definitely known whether an in- vestigating committee will be appointed to find out why, how, when, where and wherefore the HERALD dare to get ahead of the committee in this important matter of legislation. But suilice it to say, that the com. mittee, in reporting the bill thev have reported, ,have taken a step in the right direction, for which they deserve thanks of the tens of thousands of savings banks depositors throughout the State, ‘rhe HERALD and the committee have done their part of the good work, and 11 now remains with the Senate and Assembly, by promptly passing the bill, to crown the edifice already raised on such solid foundation, THE HUDSON AND CENTRAL FOLK havea good chance now, if they never had it be- fore, to make people’s hair stand on end in an oft, cial story concerning the bloody doings of their tralus going to and coming from the Forty-second street depot. Mr. Tiemann’s resolution of inquiry was specially drawn up cover all the points that will the story complete, It provides that the President ot the Hudson and Central, the President of the Hariem and the President of the New Haven road shall report within fifteen days to the President of the Senate, for the information of the Legislature, what streets or avenues, or parts of the same, within the limits of the city of New York, above Forty-second street are used by them for the making or running of the trains on the roads, witn the number of tracks laid down, or used for such vings They one purpose, and the number of daily passen- geis, freight or other trains so run by them, or under their direction, on _ their respective roads, with the rate of speed such trains are run, also the number of accidents that have occurred in any manner connected witn the ranning of such trains within the period of two years preceding January 1, 1872, specifying. partic- ularly the date, locality, mature aud result of each case of ‘accident so occurring, and the number of actions at law that have been brought against these ratiroad corporations on account of such accidents to life or properiy, and also What amount of rent or money has been charged or received during the year 1871 by elther of the above-named companies from any person or corporation for te privilege Of using any rails or tracks now laid within the city. A WIFE'S TRSTIMONY, Senator D. P. Wood introduced a bill sent to him by atormer Senator, which has @ rather peculiar look. Ibamends the act of 1867 by which, under certain circumstances, a husband anda wife, or either of them, can become a witness for or agaiust the Other, so that the one cannot be com- pelled to give evidence {or or against other in any action in case of bigamy except to prove facts of marriage, or in any action insututed in consequence of adultery, or iu any action tor a divorce On account of adultery, except to prove the fact of marriage, or in any action on account of criminal conversation. SENATOR LEWIS’ SUFFRAGE BILL, introduced to-night, simply makes the Registry law apply to the entire State and repeals that poruon of ine present iaw in reference to elections in New Yoré city Which gave the appointwent oi tne tn- spectors © election, under certain provisions, to the Mayor, THE GOVERNOR'S VETO of Judge Robertson’s bill making municipal authorives trastees of the property their jurisdic. tion extended over raised quite a sensation in the Senate. It Was unexpected and consequently quite a blow to the irienus of the vill, The following is the veto:— ALBANY, Feb, 12, 1871, To THE SENATE:— [return without my approval Senate bill No. 53, entitled, “An act for the protection of taxpayers agaist the trauds, embezziements and wrongful acts of public officers and agents.” follows:— The people of New York, represented in Senate and As sembly, do enact as foilo SECTION |.—Al office: » agents, commissioners and other persons acting for or on bebalf of any county, town or mn. micipal corporation in this State, and each and ‘every one of them, are hereby declared trustees of the property, funds and ‘etfects of such oration county, town or municipal cor respectively, so ‘far as such dq effects. “have been, are or management or ‘control: and every per- in such county, town or municipal corporation, ed 10 pay taxes therein, oF who shall pay taxed hereby declared to be @ ‘vstui que trust In respect the said property, funds and effects respectively; and any co-trusees or any such cestui que trust shall be entitied = as against such trustees and in regard to such property, funds and effects to all the rights and remedies provided by law, of any co-trustee OF vestwi qu: trust, and to prosecute and maintain ‘any action to prevent waste and injury to any property, funds Cestate held in trust, Such trustees are hereby made sbject to all the du and responsibitities imposed law on trustees, and such duties and responsibilities may be en- forced by any co-trnstee or res'ui que trust atoresald, This act shail taxe effect immediately.

I do not ask (be members of the Court to say what their construction of the bill would be if it came before them as an enacted law; but, in view of the fur-reaching character of the bill and of the extensi to nplientions and Injury that might arise from ction of its present lanvuage, I feel that L dT trust you will agree with me, in asking of Fou avor to read tha bill with’ = view simply to your telling me whether there nom. 101 doubton the points {have suggened grave enovgh to male it wise that before it the bill should be ame tome.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 12, 1872, In executive session of the Senate to-day the Committee on Military Affairs reported back a se- cret list of nominations sent in by the President on the 30th of January affecting the officers of the Quartermaster’s Departinent, rank clear down to the of captain, © The nominations pur- port to be made in pursuance of the act of July 28, 1866, and the late opinion of Attorney General Williams as to the rule of promotion in the Quartermaster’s Department fixed by existing law. ‘The act of July 28, 1866, which greatly enlarged and changed the organization of the regular army, al- lowed in the Quartermaster’s Department six colonels, ten lieutenant colonels and fifteen majora, This made three vacent colonelcies, six vacant lieutenant colonelcies and four vacant majorities to be filled unaer the lawas it stood then, and, as the Attorney General deciues, itstands now, Lieutenant Colonels David H. Vinton, Edwin B, Babbett and Osborne Cross were entitled to tne colonelcies, but the places were given to Majors Robert Allen, James Donaldson and Daniel A. Rucker. The next day Charles Thomas and George H. Crosman, two of three coloneis already in commission when the act passed, were retired and their places given to Vinton and Babbett, who had Just been passed over in favor of Allen and Donaluson, but Vinton and Babbett did not long enjoy their new rank, as they were thnemseives retired from active service on the very day of their promotion. This made two more vacant coloneicies, which by law belonged to Lieutenant Colonel Robert E. Clary and Major Morris S, Muller. Clary got his promotion, but Miller was passed over in favor of Major Rufus Ingalls, who stood four files below him, not counting Allen, Donaldson and Rucker, who had already been unlaw/ully promoted to coloneicies, The same irregular course was pursued im framing the new lieutenant colonel- cles and majorities, but nothing of importance occurred in relation thereto, except the remarkaple omission of ali mention of these promotions in the War vepartment General Oraer No. 71, of August 81, 1866, which order professes to give all the army promotions and appointments from a date anterior to the act of July 28, 1866, to the Ist day of August. A few weeks ago some of the oversiaughed oMcers, among them Lieutenant Colonel Fred Myers and Major Rufus Saxton, petitioned the Serate for a reconsideration of the action in confirming the ‘illegal promotions and pointed out the law governing the subject. A copy of the memorial having been re- ferred to the Attorney General by the War Department, he lately decided that the vacancies created by act of July 28, 1866, were to be filled by seniority according to law and not as the President and the Senate might. choose to fill them, Acting on this opinion the President sent in the nomina- tions referred co in the beginning of tms despatch, ‘The following is the Presideat’s message:— WASHINGTON, Jan, 39, 1872, To THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STaTES Lnominate the following named olicers of the Quartermasier’s Lepariment for promotion in tue Army of the United States under the act of July 28, 1866, aud the opioton of the Atte General of the United States, dated Jan, 22, is72, copy herewith:— To be assistant quartermaster general, witn the rank of colonel—Lieatenant Colonel David H.

The petitioning offi. cers in thelr memorial charge the whole business upon President Johnson, but his only share in it was to sign the last of the nominations prepared by Secretary Stanton ana General Grant The mistake was an innocent one on the part of these ofticials, the latter only being anxious to put the most deserving officers in the highest places, in ac- cordance with the understood intention of Congress to open rewards to that class by increasing the standing army in time of peace, while the Secre- tary probably forgot all about the the ancient law of promotion till 1t was too late. The prevailing sentiment in the Senate is that these innocently un- yey acorn should not now be stripped of ely rank. THE LAND OF SAINTS. Disgraceful and Fraudulent Voting at the Polle— How Women and Aliens Are Carted In to Vote—Dismal Condition of the Pacific Railroad—The Japanese Banquet— Mean Trickery to Insure a Visit to Brigham Young- Judge McKean Coming to Washington. Saut LakgE, Feb. 12, 1872, The city elections occurred to-day, and 1t was the most shameless farce and fraud on the elective franchise ever perpetrated on the continent, Allens and women and children deposited their ballots in spite of the challengers. The judges of election re- fused to administer the oaths and the ceremony of election was a mockery aud a disgrace. The num- ber of votes cast was unprecedentedly large and More than one half illegal, the main object being to show to the country the large population of Salt Lake city, in view of the application of the Territory for admission as a State. THE REPEATING DISGUSTS THE GENTILES, ‘The entire Gentile and loyal portion of the popu- lation are heartily disgusted, and determined to ask Congress for a law to preserve the rights of Ameri. can citizens and maintain the purity of the ballot box, Without such a law none but Mormons have any influence in the formation of the local govern- ment. The streets were filled with wagons to-day, bringing whoie families, and peuple came by the car- load from the country to vote at the election. The town is lively aud animated. There are only two poys in the city, nota quarier suMicient; but the illegal votes completely swamped all opposition on the lair bailot, without those cist by women or aliens, The Gentiles are strong enough to carry the city; but re- generation 1s hopeless without Congressional aid. TIE SNOW-BOUND PACIFIC RAILROAD. The situation on the Union Pacific 18 more gloomy than ever. The winter storms are mbre potent than vefore. Thousands of willing hands have been em- ployed, and the results of hours of well directed labor of immense gangs of men in clearing cuts of the snow is rendered nugatory by the pro- longed blast of the storm, sweeping the snow on the tracks by theton, Each train must be shovelled out by itself, and the progress 18 very slow and despairing. The situation is almost beyond hope until the spring thaws melt away the obstacle. ATTEMPT TO INAUGURATE A MAIL COACH SERVICE, Recognizing this important fact Superintendent and Special Postal Agent Barstow, of the Pacific coast, has telegraphed to Gilmore and Salisbury for propositions to carry the dally letter mail for sixty days from Rawlins to Cheyenne, a distance of 200 miles, The negotiations are now going on. More than 200 tons of paper matl 1s now awaiting trans- portstion, No passengers are to be trans- ported by coaches, It is hoped that the trains now in the neighborhood of the Rocky Mountains will be in Ogden in a few days, but until we have better weather no more trains will be sent over the Union Pactflc road. GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT SICKLES ON THE SCENE, General Superintendent Sickles 1s at the scene of troubie, and conducting affairs with great zeal and energy. All that man can doto keep the road open is being done, but the outlook 1s anything but cheerful. Ifasatis(actory arrangements made the line from Rawlins to Cheyenne will be thoroughly stocked witn horses and vehicles In ten days, and the mails will be transported across, making @ break inthe road in forty-eight to fittx hours. The present blockade 18 extremely disastrous to business on the Pacific coast and especially to the mining interests of Utah, THE JAPANESE-MORMON BANQUET. The Japanese Embassy will partake of a banquet given by promiment citizens in their honor and Mr. De Long. It promises to be a brilliant affair, All the government officials are invited. It seems that Minister De Long’s visit with the Embassy to Brigham Young was brought about by a trick, anda GROSS BREACH OF ETIQUETTE AND DECENCY on we part of the committee of reception, mostly Mormons, who put their guests in a trap before they were Informed of the object. Then it was too late to withdraw. The members of the Embassy aye indignant concerning the trick to put them ina false posijon, This 18an old Mormon game with disungutshed visitors. The latest news |s to the effect that the Pacific trains are moving slowly westward, Judge McKean and Trials in Utab. WASHINGTON, Feb, 12, 1872, Chief Justice McKean, of Utah, is expected here in the course of a few days to consult with Attorney General Williams concerning the judictal affairs in that Territory, which are here considered to be in such a confused condition that not a few members of Congress have said they will not vote a dollar for expenses until some satisfactory explanations are made concerning the recent trials In Utah. There 13 some talk of making provision in connection with juture appropriations to relieve the cases alreaay tried of the embarrassment which attended them, and to avoid complications of the Untied States with the Territorial Court.
