The circumstances of the fraud on the Bank of Vngland remain a mystery. Noyes, the clerk or confederate of the forgers, now under arrest, is a native of the United States. He protests his innocence, but doubtless knows more than he is willing to tell at present, Astonishment is expressed that the extent of the transactions did not arouse the suspicions of the bank officials; but it seems that the operators rep- resented that they were interested in the intro- duction of American palace cars on the British railways, dnd were arranging for their manufacture on a scale which required the employment ot a large amount of funds.

Tom Scott Takes Posses- ' sion of the Senate. The Most Extraordinary Scene Ever Witnessed in the Legislature—Defeat of the People’s Railroad Bill—“Lynch Them,” “Fetch Them Ont,” “Tar and Feather Them'’—The Black List Again. The die is cast, and the people of New Jersey have lost the stake, In all the history of that little com- monwealth not an eveat nor any series of events can be found to parallel the humiliating speotacie witnessed in the halls of her Legislature yesterday. It was virtually the annexation of Jersey to Penn- sylvania—a wedlock between Harrisburg and Trenton, Pitt and Castlereagh never entered more ardently into the work of de. bauching the Irish Legislature than did Tom Scott and his henchman, Senator McPher- son, in their successful elforts to destroy the au- tonomy of the State of New Jersey. Tho Legisia- ture which baited the railroad king will ,not thwart him any more. How the people’s railroad Dill was advanced a stage in the Senate on Monday night the readers of the HexaLp already know. How the victory which was almost within the peo- pie’s grasp was wrested from them the public have yet to learn, When the Senate adjourned on Monday night everything looked favorable fer the friends oi the bill, Edsall, of Susgex, had been converted to the cause of the people, but those who relied on his remaining in that position trusted to a broken reed, Tom Scott sent forth @ swarm from the mo- nopoly hive during the night,tand Edsall—a frat) compound of humanity—was no longer himself. One vote only was needed by the friends of No, 3 bill, and this vote they had secured as they thought. How that vote deserted them will pres- ently appear. It was exactly five minutes before twelve yes- terday forenoon when the President of the Senate announced the long-iookea for No, 3. Irick Wanted immediately to have another bill con- sidered, but Stone bad the motion laid on the table. McPherson would insist on having the charter of the town of Harrison takeh up. On motion of Hewitt, Assembly bill No. 3 was laid over Ul the aiternoon session. Yhen indeed came the tug of war. McPherson had his railroad bill, which was drawn up in the in- terest of Tom Scott, brought up. Hewitt attacked it and it was laid over. The President, in announc- ing Assembly Bill No. 3, said he hoped there would be no demonstrations of approbation or disappro- bation in the galleries, which were at this time crowded, Banghart moved that the bill be laid over for a day, but the motion was lost. When the bill was put on its third reading Hewitt arose and delivered what may be regarded as tie most logical and eloquent address during the ses- sion, tle pointed out the necessity for rail- road competition, and asked if the Penn- sylvania company were so weak that they were airaid of rivalry. Who were the op- ponents of the new charter? Certainly not the people nor the press of tne State. Not one except the paid representatives of the Pennsyl- vania Central on that floor. The President rapped vigorously to suppres the acpnuae whicn foliowed this sentence, lewitt, Banghart and Stone pre- sented petitions in lavor of tne bill, and Cutler de- livered a pointed argument in favor of it. Then came McPherson, who was Papeco ne to charge corruption on the leaders of the people, when the President called him to order. He com- plained bitterly of a subsidized press, which cast odium upon men it could not control. He sung the praises of the monopely and said that those who opposed it were chiefly a ring of corrupt men, though he admitted there were some respectable men named as incorporators. Mr. Stone retorted that there were men ‘n oppo- tion to his bill and in favor of the monopoly who, u they had their just deserts, would be in the Pent teutiary. (Loud applause in the galleries.) Wil- liams ciosed the debate, and. he heaped @ fearful load of denunciation on the heads of McPherson and Lydecker. A motion to adjourn having been voted down, the question was put as to the final passage of the bill, and it was defeated by the following vote:— Yras—Messrs. Banghart, Cornish, Cutler, Havens, Hen- ee Hewitt, Stone, Taylor (President), Williams and ‘ood—10, Na Messrs. Beasley, Edsall, Hopkins, Irick, Jarrard, Lydecker, McPherson, Moore, Newkirk, Sewell and Shep: pard—11, Then ensued a scene of confusion in the gallery such as was never before witnessed in the halls of the Legisiature. Cries of “Fetch them out,” “Lynch them,” “Tar and feather them,” “Go tor Jarrard,” were uttered in angry tones. The President ordered the galleries to be cleared, and this was done by the police, but not without great diticulty. The Senate soon aiter adjourned. The excitement throughout Trenton was ‘so intense during the evening that fears were entertained for the safety of the Senators who sold themselves to Tom Scott. It may appear incredible, but yet it is stated on the best authority that the sum of $35,000 was given fer one vote on this occasion. NEW YORK STATE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, COHOES, March 4, 1873.

The issue of commission and anti- commission entered largely into the contest. Eight republican Aldermen out of the fourteen are elected and nine republicans out of the feurteen Supervisors. Goddard, a republican Justice of the Peace, is elected by about three hundred majority. The republicans have also a majority in the School Board, ‘The election passed off quietly. It is estimated that the total vote cast was nearly a third less than in the Presidential election. FIBES. In West Thirty-first Street.

Giving a Lift to Rapid Transit on a Small Scale, The, Regulations for Brook- lyn Elections. Senator Tweed the Subject of a Spicy Debate in the Senate. THE “BOSS” NOT EXPELLED. A Committee of Three to Investigate the Great Sachem’s Evil Deeds. A TEN DAYS’ RECESS AGAIN PROPOSED, ALBANY, March 4, 1873, Owing to the town elections, which are being held in about twenty diferent countiesol the State, there was not a quorum in the Assembly to- day, and consequently no business ofany. great im- portance was transacted. PNEUMATIC RAPID TRANSIT. ‘The bill supplementary to the act for the trans- mission of letters and packages by means of pneu- matic tubes, which authorizes the company to con- struct railroads to convey passengers in similar tubes, was the subject of some discussion. Mr, Burns moved to substitute the Senate bill and have it ordered to a third reading, saying that there was no objection to the biil, It was thoroughly guarded in ail respects, Mr, Campbell hoped the motion would prevail, There was great clamor in New York for rapid transit, and here was'a proposition, to secure it speedily. This company had expended $300,000 in experiments, and have become satisfied that they can go on with their work and construct @ railroad on their plan; he therefore hoped the bill would be passed without delay. Mr. West thought no harm would be done by a little delay, Mr. Burns said, if it was desired to have further discussion on this matter, he would. not press his motion to pass the bill to @ third reading and withdrew it. Mr. Kay renewed. the motion and proceeded to speak in favor of the plan, He was in favor ol rapid transit in that city. Speaker Cornell said he had no intention of em- barrassing the bill, If the bill was to pass he thought it would be well to pass the Senate bill; still he thougnt the matter had not been as thoroughly considered as it should be. He only asked a little delay on it Mr. Pierson stated the action of the Ruilroad Com- mittee, he thought, was very proper and that it should pass at the proper time, He was anxious to have some means o/ rapid transit given to New York, All he would ask was that it shoula be done properly and as speedily as possible. The bill was progressed, and the Gormlttee of the Whole was given permission to si it again on it, ELECTIONS IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN. The bill amending the act to regulate elections in the city of Brooklyn, which provides that the Board of Electors shall make the regula- tions instead of. leaving them with the Board of Aldermen, was also discussed, On its being brought up Mr. Roche moved to strike out the first section, He thought the matter was more properly in the hands of the Koard of Alder- men, Whe motion was opposed by Messrs, Van Cott and Worth, and Mr. Koche’s motion was lost. ‘The salaries were reduced from $2,000 to $1,000 to the President of the Board, anu from $1,000 to $500 to the other members, Mr; Jacobs moved that the Mayor nominate and the Aldermen confirm the members of the Board of Election. After discus- sion the motion was-lost. Various other amendments were offered by Mr. Roche, but they were opposed by Messrs. Van Vott, Watt, Worth and Higgins, and rejected, extept gee few not affecting the main provisions of the The bill provides that inspectors, canvassers and registers shall hold property to the extent of $5,000. Mr. Watt moved to reduce this to $1,000, Mr. Roche moved to strike it out altogether. ‘This motion was sustained by Mr. Jacobs, who de- pounced the provision as-preposterous. The ques- tion was taken on Mr, Watt’s motion, and it was rejected. Mr. Van Cott moved to make the clause read “a taxpayer,” and the motion was lost. Mr, Roche’s amendment was then adopted. Mr, Pell moved an amendment that every person on register- ing shall make oath that he is a voter, and that natu- ralized citizens shall produce their naturalization apers in addition to taking the oath, which was. it. The bill was then ordered to a third reading. MIKE NORTON ON THE DRFENSIVE. Mr. Norton this evening rose to a question*of privilege and had read from the Clerk’s desk an article from a city journal charging that a bill he had introduced covered claims of a mil lion of dollars for all sorts of papers, such as the Sunburst, Home Gazette, Railroad Journal, &c, He denied the charge. Senator Benedict, he ciaimed, had introduced @ bill wi covered all their claims, but his bill only covered the newspaper claims against the city tor the pub- lication of oMcial notices for the city and county which were valid and legal, and which were pub- lished in papers duly designated to publish the same. Mr, Norton claimed that the newspaper re- terred to had confused the twa bills and had de- nounced the one introduced by him under the im- pression that it was the same bill introduced by penator Benedict. Whatever odium therefore his Dill nad been the victim of was,properly due to the Benedict bill. THE ENTIRE SESSION OF THE SENATE to-day was taken up in discussion upon Senator Johnson’s resolutions for an investigation into the charges against Senator Tweed, presented by him on the 2ist of February. These resolutions have already appeared in the HERALD. They merely re- count the genera! charges against Tweed and the fact of his persistent absence from his seat and provide for the appointment of a committee of three to investigate and report whether he is quall- fied for his seat and whether he should not be expelled, CALLING UP THE TWEED RESOLUTIONS. The Senate numbered just twenty-two members present when Senator Johnson rose and called these resolutions from the table, where they had lain for more than a week. Senator Johnson is a sound democrat trom Ontario county. He is full of wit and humor, His face is round and plump, and usually full of laughter; but he is as savage a8 a meat axe when he gets mad. Senator Woodin had the chair, the lame Lieutenant Governor hav- ing gone away to the inauguration. Mr. Johnson called up his resolution and at once sat down, con- tent to let the other members fight it out among themselves. THE WAY IN WHICH THEY FOUGHT IT OUT was almost an anomaly in politics. The republi- cans (some of them) contended as fiercely for Tweed's political iife as if he were the leader of their own party and then voted as meekly against him as if they had been in the habit of voting against him during alltheir past Senatorial ex- istenee. Senator Allen, after a speech of conside able length, in which he related the history of the O'Donovan Rossa contest for Tweed’s seat in the Winter of 172, offered an additional resolution as follows :— Resolved further, That the seat of the Senator from the beng district be and the samme is hereby declared va- cant ENTITLED TO A TRIAL. Senator Madden, a strong’republican trom the Tenth, or Orange county distriet, made a tlerce speech against this. He said he was a strict construc- tionist, and so he is, He held that the resolutions could not go back of the action of Mr. Tweed during the existence of the present Senate. There were no charges against him during his present Senator- ship, and until such charge is shown against him he 18 entitled to his seat nere, and in the meantime he is entitled to all the consideration that is ex- tended by our law to all, an impartial trial by jury ef his peers. The power of expulsion is dan- erous. This resolution takes Mr. Tweed entirely rom Within our jurisdiction, It hangs him, in fact, before it tries, Senator Allen thought the jurisdictien of the Sen- ator was ample in the matter. Senator D, P, Weod held that Tweed’s absence now was no violation of law. He had warrant enough in the Revised S| ites for refusing te q ly, even until the last of the session. acne Be NO? SB SEPALLED. aciatiy nator Lewis epposed the tion, €8] Mr. Allen's rope addition: olution. Tweed ought to be heard first. He w it was unpopular to say 80. Newspaper clamor and popular fury, however, could never move him. If the resolution vacating his seat were te pass to-day Tweed might come here to-morre' id claim, and no power could prevent him legally taking, He could not be expelled from a seat which he had never occa- pied. Whether g'weed has committed a crime or not we don’t know. There is no evidence belore us. To be sure, be has had a trial, bat the jury have rendered no verdict. Mr. Palmer pd te an amendment that the committee be directed te report within thirty days. Mr. Winslow, republican, from Lewis county, offered an amendment to the effect that the com- mittee further investigate whether any Senator has secured his election, directly or indirectly, by the Led of money in caucuses, conventions or at the polls. Senater Johnson ears itas being too-general and as having @ tendency to defeat the bill. Senator D.

Madden, whose normal condition is that of furious indignation, raged like @ lion this. He jumpea to his feet and said it was ail sheer nonsense, Money was used by every man running for office, He used it—he would admit it, ‘here were expenses attendi an election that could not be got over except by the New York city mem bers, and the rick Committee of Seventy put them through without expense. But he paid these ex- penses, and so did the Senator from the Twenty- Fe aoneecn and the Senator from the First 00k). SOE NEO Will Oe also putin the Senator from ‘the Eighteenth (Winslow), if you please? MappEN—Yes, sir; I will put in the Senater from the Eighteenth, I know he paid them. WINSLOW—NO, sir; that thing may be done in the Tenth, but not in the Eighteenth. Mappen—It is done in my district, and I doubt not it is done in yours. JOHNSON—Mr, President, we will make an ex- ception, if you please, in favor o1 the Senator from the Eighteenth; but if Ido not show that he used money i election then I withdraw the charge. iknow did use it, and I will prove it, THE BUBBLE BURST. This acted like Soottiting. syrup upon Winslow. He wilted at once, and, after making a rambling Sapianation, formally withdrew his amendment, Palmer’s amendment, requiring the committee to report in thirty days, was then adopted unani- mously, Senator Allen's resolution declaring the seat va- cated was lost by the following vote :— Yras—Messrs. Allen, Benedict, Chatfeld, Cock, Me- Gowan, Tiemann, Weiimann—7, Aare —Mossrs, Adams, Bowen, Graham, Johnson, Lewis, owery, Madden, Palmer, Perry, Ro! inslow, D. P. Wood, J. Wood, Woodin—-14.. ‘9 Mr. Madden then offered an amendment to in- vestigate only the acts of Tweed since his election to the present Senate, and contended that the Senate had no right to go beyond its present ses- sion. Mr. Johnson insisted that they had, and in- stanced the Crédit Mobilier investigation, where the frauds of several 7a before were made the basis of a resolutien of expulsion. Madden, in a fresh outburst of rage, declared he = not care for those men anyhow, ane especially or SCHUYLER COLFAX, WHO WAS THE MOST CONTEMPTI- BLE OF THEM ALL, because he put on more airs than the rest, The vote on Maaden’s resolution showed that he alone voted for it. NOT HONESTLY INTRODUCED. * Senator James Wood asked to be excused from voting, and said he believed with Madden that they could not go back beyond the present Session. He believed that the authors of this mevement aimed to investigate somebody else besides Tweed. I propose to let them go the full length of their rope. If oes, see fit to investigate the mem- bers of this body, | am bal ay) give them all they want, but I cannot but lieve that if this resolution were intended for any honest purpose it would have. been introduc ayear ago. He then voted “aye.” Johnson rose quite red im the face after the Honorable Jim's attack upon jis. motives, and SMOTE HIM THUS:— “Mr. President, the Senator from the Thirtieth has seen fit to assail my honesty of motive in offering this resolution, Now I would say it is not for him to assail my integrity. It comes with a bad grace from that source. No action of mine is to be gov- erned by his sense of propriety. I am responsible alone to my constituents. But when he charges me with a dishonest purpose I cast the allegation back upon him, The man who intimates corrupt motives in the presentation of this resolution must havea heart that is not what it should be.” PACIFIED. The Hon. Jim Wood then disavowed all inten- tions to impugn the motive, &c., and this breeze blew over, leaving Juhnson very red and the Hon- orable Jim very pale. THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION ADOPTED, The original resolution was then adopted by a unanimous vote, ten Senators being absent, with no amendment except Palmer's requiring the com- mittee to report within thirty days. ‘The chair, Senator Woodin, at once announced the Special Committee as follows:—Messrs, Johnson, Lewis and Graham, Two of these are republicans. Sen- ator Johnson, the chairman, announces that he will go to New York in a day or two and commence the investigation at once. He will call Tweed and the famous ‘tainted Senators” before him, and doubtless make the Senate how! like a wilderness betore he finishes. LIKELIHOOD OF A TEN DAYS’ RECESS. It is believed that the Legislature will, after all, take a ten days’ recess. Itis said, and generally conceded, that the two houses cannot possibly get through their work before the last week in April. ‘The Constitutional Commission will complete their labors next week, and the result of their two months’ deliberation must be taken in hand by the present Legislature, else the new constitution T LOSS OF THE GEORGE 8, WRIGHT, Names of the Officers and Crew=—Th@ United States Steamer Lincoln Gone in Search of the Shipwrecked Men, SAN FRANCISCO, March 4, 187% A despatch received last night from Portland!

In order that this Legislature may take hold of it I understand it is now the settled purpose otthe majority in both heuses to get through, with all the ordinary legislative business first and then consider the Constitutional Commission. To do this and avoid the necessity of a special ses- sion a recess will be taken when the legislative work is through, and after its expiration the houses will go to work on the constitution ex- clusively. This plan seems to find favor among the country members, who will be the most anxious to get away from Albany early in May, at the very latest, and wil, itis believed, meet with DO Oppesition. + FATAL RAILROAD CRASH. pei i eS Two Trains Collide on the Hudson River Rallroad—One Man Killed— Terrible Wreck on the Road. POUGHKEEPSTE, March 4, 1873. A terrific collision occurred at Tivoli, on the Hud- son River Raliroad, at about half-past eleven o’clock this morning. At that hour the express train, whicn left New York at eight o’clock this morning, reached Tivoli, where a freight train laid on the up track inits way. The Saratoga express, bound souch, and which does not stop at Tivoli, was then overdue, It became necessary to allow the up express to move on to switch A from the up to the down track, and, in order to stop the expected Saratoga train while the switching was in progress, danger signals had to be and were set for a distance of half a mile north, and the work of switching the express was commenced. The train passed safely up the road and was backing down on to the up track when the Saratoga train came thundering along at the Tate of twenty-five miles an hour. The danger was seen by the engineers of both trains at ence, but too late to avoid a collision, and the two locemotives came together with aterrible crash. The tender of the engine of the up express was driven half Way through the mail car in the rear and the en- gine and tender of the down train almost doubled bo The up train was moving slowly and the en- gineer and fireman and the agent in the mail car had emple time, and did get off safely. ‘The engineer of the down train, Mr. Lewis Major, and his son, Henry Major, who fireman, seein, there was no chance for their lives if they remaine on their engine, jumped, the father leaping on the river side auc the son on the east side. The latter, ashe struck the hard ground and tice, bounded under the wheels of the cars and was killed in an instant, nis body being nearly cut in two, The father was considerably bruised, but not seriously injured, As soon as the crash was over the body of young Major was taken out from under the wheels, and it was noticed that he was still alive, but gasping tor breath. He was carried tenderly to the baggage car, where in a few moments the poor fellow breathed his last. The baggage car of the down train was not badly smashed, but the locomotive is a complete wreck. Not a single pas- senger was hurt nor were any otacr of the em- ployés Injured, ‘The cause of the accident is not positively known asyet. All the signals were set in full time to stop the down train. It is believed, however, that the snow and ice upon the windows in the cab of the engine on the down train, tegether with the blinding snow whirled by the nigh wind, prevented Engineer Major from seeing the danger signals in time to avoid the collision, When he first discov- ered the situation he did everything in his power to avert the crash. He first blew the whistles for “down brakes,” and alterward pulled the patents; but the brakes were so clogged with snow that they would not hold, When the excitement attending the accident was over Trackmaster Otis, with a wrecking train and a gang of men, went to work clearing away ob- structions, and at six P. M. all trains were running ‘egulari; in, **Sorene! icks left here to-night to hold an in- Coroner quest upon the bedy of yout jor, who waa @ single man and a resident of Greenbush.
