10 RAPID TRANSIT. Meeting at the Cooper Institute Last Night to Promote the Passing of a Bill for Oheap Rapid Transit for the City. , A RAILROAD FOR THE PEOPLE. From One End of the Island to the Other.for ‘Three Cents—Speeches by Judge Sutherland, Delafield Smith, Abram 8. Hewitt and Gen- eral Sigel—The Delegation to Albany. A meeting that, in accordance with the call, was ‘anticipated to be a “mass meeting” of the citizens, for the purpose of urging the passage of & bill for vapid transit in the city, was held last night in the orypt of the Cooper Institute, The attendance was mot large, the seats being only rather more than Dalfeccupied. The attendance, however, was very anfluential, and comprised a large number of the deading men of the city. With the exception of @ few outbarstd of enthusiasm there was nothing to ‘Yndicate. that the audience was very much in ear- nest; ‘the speeches, with one or two exceptions, were very discursive, and at the close there was a strongly expressed sentiment by the auditors that the meeting had failed in the element of practica- bility. ° The gudience was calied to order by Mr. R, A. ‘Witthaus, Chairman of the Association, who said ‘that all the pledges given by the Legislature as to ; NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1873. this city ee grown to two millions of people.

MARSHALL read the following reso- lutions, which were adopted :— THE RESOLUTIONS. sae OF a xreat public want, and Whereas under the pre: when evilsexistin a commanity whjcli have grown Magnitude until they can no longer Be endured in sien oF borne with patience, it is ft and proper that the Hs in public assembled should lift up their voice against them, and still more eminently fit and proper that those ‘inistration of the govern- ‘people should bi that Voice ; and whereus the people of this city, now under such a pressure, have assem in mass’ meeting, in Rumbers limited only by the capacity of the walls that contain it, to give expression (o their views in this emer- wency | thergiore, ‘Resolved, That the question of rapid transit for the peo- pie of New’ York has become one of growing and over: shadowing importance, and must and will absorb all other interests and override all other considerations unul it is settle setiled right.

Resolved, That the true measure of relief is a railroad en- accommodatior one-quarter th rapid transit had been broken, and for the purpose of counteracting that a Rapid Transit Association had been formed, and that association had intro- duced an act into the Legislature for the city of New York to build a quick transit line for the peopie. (Cheers. It was to favor this that the amass meeting was called. He then introduced the Chairman. SPEECH OF JUDGE SUTITERLAND. Judge SUTHERLAND said that the purpose of the Meeting was to encourage the passage of the act now before the Legislature. The purpose of the bill was to promote the construction of a railway from the Battery to the Harlem.River, to be owped ‘and operated by,the city for the benefit of the peo- ple at large. This was new as regarded railroads; but the city did the same as to the Croton water. fhe Croton Aqueduct was the property of the city, .and the idea, no doubt, suggested itself to the pro- ‘moters of the scheme of rapid transit that jf there were any profits on this rail- road it should go for the benefit of the wity, instead of’ the pockets of the monopolists. The vill proposed that the Governor should apxoins six Commissioners, including the Mayor, the President of tue Board of Alderinen and the President of the Deparunent ef Works. The rail- road is to have jour tracks, the Comunissioners are to appoint five engineers and a majority o/ them is to present a report, which the Commissioners are to adopt. The uct puts a limit to the fares; that to and from Seventy-sgcond street it shail not exceed ufive cents, and over the whole island seven cents. It provides that the earnings trom freight, -passen- wgers and postal service shall cover the interest on the bends of the road. It aiso provides for a sink- ‘dng tund of three per cent in addition to all this, Anything done under and on the road is to be sub- amitied to the people at a charter election, and only then by 4 majority, it was greatly to be regretted that this city, with its charters, should have to go ‘te the Legislature to ask for power to make a rail- ‘The ettect of Judge Stuart’s decision many years was to throw this city and all other cities at tae ieet of the Legislaturé, and they were com- petied to go to the Legislature to build a city on ‘the island of the city. He did hope that the Legis- lature wouid amend the constitution, 80 as to pro- hibit the Legislature from interfering with the charter rights of this city. (Cheers.) He would arantee that New York city would’ govern elf thoroughly and well. (Cheers.) Any man who had money enough could go to the Legislature and purchase the means cither to eprich himseif or to invade the rights of his (Cries of “That's true.”) The time would come when this. matter would be talked over more jully than itis now. ‘There must be a day when the charter rights of this city could not ‘pe invaded by any Legisiature, (Cheers.) After the reading oi the list of Vive Presidents, Mr, BeENy, from the audience, suggested that rep- resentatives of the’ workingmen should be added to the list of Vice Presidents, SPEECH OF DELAFIELD SMITH. Mr, DBLAFIELD SMITH said that he was at a loss to conceive how a work like the Croton Aqueduct sould have been accomplished except by govern- mental aid, and he had the same opinion in refer- ence to rapid transit in this city. He said, per- Bonally, that he had no interest in rapid transit above Fortieth street; and more, he owned a farm jn New Jersey, and therefore he was a dis- would speaker, ad perhaps the only one who woul ess them On that occasion.

(Loud cieere) He thought the people were more inter- zeted in this question than they were in the “Crédit Mobilier’’ or in the new “charter,” which ople were tired of reading, because they change it so often, (Cheers.) We republicans had met in Cooper Institute to try to get the blacks the right to ride in the cars; but that very night they were met to get the whites the right to ride on the vars. That very night he had seen three women (eft behind on the sid@waik because they could not be takeml on the cars, ougut to be remedied. The American mind was peculiar and it was prac- tical, and would bring about those practical results which were necessary for hap- piness, the comiort and tlie convenience of the people. Mr. Smith described at length the corruption in Albany and the corruption in New York, in the initiation of semi-private en- terprises, but admitted that despite the faults of the late corrupt Ring it had initiated great public works and these works must go on. (Clreers.) New Yorkers ought to be able to call themselves New Yorkers with the same pride as Romauscalied themselves Romans. (Loud cheers.) SPEECH OF ABKAM 8. HEWITT, Mr. AbRAM S. Hewitt said that, asa business man very largely erested in ‘of this city, he was certain that unless more rapid transit could be obtained this city could not keep the pre-eminence it had attained, The coffee trade has already gone to Baltimore, and as a mer- chant he had ders to send freight ever the Western roads shipment at other ports. Trade was fast leaving the city. Pussenger trafic was important, but it was not the most important, All the common decencies of life were outraged on our city travel, and he had long since given orders 3 that ue child of his should enter those cars. Cheers.) The anthracite coal of this country, which was sinokciess, was greatiy in favor of this enterprise. The Erie Canal was constructed alter this manner, and it is tue most profitable ent rise in the world. Private capitalists did not see «+ itthen, and yet the Erie Canal was the parent of the enterprise and developed commerce ot this country. lt was much to be regretted that the city had not manuiactured its own gas; it would have had gas much cheaper. (Vheers.) In this city we have arrived at this condition, Just as the omnibus came in and the street rail: roads came in as their successor, 80 must the steam railroad succeed the street cars. rLoud cheers.) He (Mr. Hewitt) then alluded to the Viaduct road, @ former project of “the ring,’ and said that it commended itself greatly to hits attention, because it required that a million of money belonging to the incorporators should be invesied in it before the city was asked to add five’ millions. But, inasmuch as the business and the prosperity of the Cad were jeopardized, he supported the scheme; but he gave ail the warning that if this road was to be exe- cuted asa public enterprise that we should pre- pare ourselves for some humiliating develop. Ments, because the tendency of the transaction of bag business was to demoralize the employés. ir.

The Investigation Confined to Pomeroy’s Transaction with York. PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE. The Subject of Widening the Scope of the Inquiry Debated. CONKLING BITTER ON YORK. ~ WASsHINaTon, Feb. 18, 1873. At ten o’clock this morning the special committee charged with the investigation of the Pomeroy matter met in the room of the Chairman and held an hour's secret consultation. At eleven o'clock the committee entered the reom in which the investi- gation is held, when the Chairman read, by the unanimous instruction of the committee, an an- nouncement that, under the resolution of the Sen- ate, the committee would be obliged to confine their inquiries solely to the transactions between Pomeroy and*York. The following is THE COMMITTEE'S STATEMENT. The committee have by their own request received from Mr, York und Sena:or Pomeroy respectively « contd tial statement as to what the witnesses of gach will pr and this brings the committee to determine. wha Paeuce it is prover tor the commiitee to mecelve. It is a special committee, with no other powers than those conferred on it by the resolution of the Senate for its appointment. It the jurisdiction conterred by that resolution is too narrow the error can be corrected by the Senate alone. The commistee cannotcorrect it by usur ing a jurisdiction not conterred upoh it, and probably however — falsels sree id not been directed by the Senate to inquire. fore, plainly the duty of the committee to restrict its Investigation to the inquiry directed by the Senagg. If ration it is the right @pan other matters require investi . is petition to investigate citizen to ask the Senate by them, and upon a proper showing itis not to be doubted } thatan investigation, it practicable, would be ordered.

This being Tike HOLE INQUIRY THE COMMITTRE 18 AUTHORIZED TO MAKE, It necessarily follows that no evidence can be received that is not legally competent to prove or disprove that charge. No indictment can properly be formed by a Grand Juryexcept upon legal testinony, although the Witnesses ‘to sifhport It must be produced belore the se jury a fortiori.

It1s here to be premised that we are not Inquiring into the validity of the election of Senator in Congress by the General Assen in Kansus.
