NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY - 27, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET, THE STATE CAPITAL. .A Frandutent Claim of National Guard Regiments. An Attempted Raid on the Sink~ | ing Fund. Mayor Havemeyer on the Estimates. ALBANY, Feb. 26, 1874. in the early part of the session three bills were {ntroduced by Mr, Charley Spencer providing for | ‘the payment of $15,000 to the Fifth regiment, $29,295 | ‘to the Ninth and $30,230 to the Seventy-frst regi- | ment, National Guard, making an aggregate or nearly $50,000, for loss of uniforms and equipments ‘nm the war. The first of these in being moved toa third reading to-Gay underwent some sharp criti- cis from Messrs. Worth and Daly, the former of | ‘whom declared that not five per cent of the original members of these regiments when they went to the ‘war were enrolled in them to-day; that the mem- | ‘ders bought their own uniforms at $25 each, and | MM there were 100 of them remaining im the three regiments to-day their reimbursement ‘would only amount to $2,500 in place of , $30,000. Their equipments were paid for | Dy the State, and not by the regimental funds, and, on the whole, it appeared, from the | @ebate, that his claim 1s a gross and unbiushing Sraud, and if it passes only opens up the way fora score of other regiments to putin similar claims | torobd the State treasury of money, to which-they | have no shadow of right. The bill now lies on the | table. COUNTERFEITING BASTMAN’S BILL, Eastman’s idea of reaching rapid transit through @ board of commissioners 1s being extensively { counterieited with material diderences of de- | tall. Mr. Mackin introduced a scheme to-day | Providing that the engineers of the Depart- | ment of Public Works, together with three Persons to be appoiuted by the Governor | and two by the Mayor of the city, be constituted a | Board of Commissioners, who shall give acertifi- | cate of authority to build a rapid transit line to | @uch company as may be formed for the purpose | @nd may satisfy the commissioners of their plan | @nd capacity to carry it out. The other mutation vof Eastman is the bill of Mr. Cauldwell, which starts out with the sarcastic provision that “the | Mayor of the city of New York and such other per- | ons as may subscribe to the capital stock be | ‘ereated a corporation, by the name of ‘The Peo- ple’s Railroad Company,” for the construction of a | Wailroad in the city of New York, the railroad to be ‘constructed upon the plan recommended by a com- Mlasion of five persons, The cost is not to exceed | $6,000,000. The capital shall be $7,000,000, at the | ‘value of $100. The city shall advance a loan of $2,000,000 Lo aid the company, 4 LOSING OFFICE, The following singular letter, exploding the pop- @lar notion of the Sirievalty revenue, was re- ceived to-day from the Sheriff of New York, ad- | Greased to the Legislature :— In response to the resolution passed by your honorable dirceting the Sheritf of the city and county of New | ork to report the amount of fees collected in bis office | juring the year 1873, [have the honor to state that, as ‘Bay erm of office oxly commenced on the Ist of January, 4, and the books and papers of each sheriff being | ‘their personal and private property, and as such being Femoved and tuken away by them ‘when their term of eftice expires, I am, consequently, unable to give the re- | as required by the terins of the resolation, not hav- sufficient information or data to make such report | ‘drom for the year 1873.

THE ESCULAPIANS. Annual Commencement of the Bellevue Huspital Medical Coilege—Brilliant As- semblage Last Night in Steinway Hall— 162 New Doctors in Medicine. A splendid houseful of friends greeted last night the graduates in medicine who have taken their degrees from the Bellevue Hospital Medical | College. This, the timrteenth Commence- | ment, was celebrated in a manner worthy alike to the faculty, the students and | their friends, The Twenty-second Regiment Band, @irected by the famous Mr. P. 8, Gilmore, dis- coursed a well selected répertoire ot classic music in a style that found echo in the responstve plau- adits of the pleased audience. The pieces per- formed were:—Fantasia, “Il Profeta;’ march, faunnaeuser ;” selections, “I Bravo; “Concert Waltzp’ and ‘Fackeltanz.”” The exercises were commenced by the Rev. Alfred B. Beach, who delivered a touching and | forcible exhortation to the students about to | graduate. After this the degree o! Doctor in Medicine was conferred upon 162 graduates, whose names are given below. As the class was wo large to stand all together on the Diatform at once 1t was divided into two batches, for the sake of convenience, The class was composed of talented young men from many walks tn ile and nearly every State in the Union. A number of them were extremely youthful in sppearance, looking as uf they had hardly passed the years of boyhood. Several of the young graduates, especially Messrs, Smith, E. Winn and James R, Taylor, received rounds of applause while their diplomas were being con- ferred. After the diplomas had been distributed by Fro- fessor Isaac E. Taylor, President of the Faculty, the Rev. Jona N. Gaiianer delivered an address to ‘he class. The valedictorian, Dr. Smith E. Winne, of Kentucky, acquitted bimself of his onerous task in & Way that oailed forth plandics from the audi- ence, his fellow students and the faculty. Upon the close of the ceremonies the D.’s, their invited guests and the college professors participated mm a banquet that had been prepared in Deimonico’s — . best style.

Interesting Meeting of the Dominion Board of | Trade—The Tariff Question Discussed by American Delegates—Competition for the Grain Trade with | the United States The effect was like the story | young ™. | Giraud Foster, William’ Laimbeer, Myer stern, | Christopher, | homas M, Edwards, New an Duncan Eve, | Allen | Jobo | stus | aries | Orrawa, Feb, 26, 1874. The Dominion Board of Trade reassembled yes- ) terday. Afier the imtroduction of the American delegates Mr. McLaren, of Milwaukee, addressed the Convention on behalf of the United States dele- gates. He believed reciprocal trade relations be- — tween Canada and the United States to be neces- sary to both countries, While he was of the opin- ion that both countries could exist without re- ciprocity, he considered Canada the natural outlet for the great trade of the West, and for that reason | reciprocity would be mutually advantageous, ‘The Board then proceeded to the question on the oMcial programme—Canadian tonnage—and Mr. Plimsoli’s bill was moved by Robert Marshall, of | St. John, N. B., the following being the substance | | of the resolutio That an address be presented | to the Governor General, urging the adoption of | | such measures as may seem necessary to prevent | any legislation that may be proposed in Ottawain | consequence of the report of the Royal Commission recently held in London prejudicially affecting the | tonnage of the Dominion of Canada, | | _ Captain Dorr, of Buffalo, spoke in favor of the | | resolution, which was unanimously adopted, | Hon. T. E. Jones moved the subject of consiaera- | tion—speedy railway communication between Montreal and the maritime provinces, | Mr. White, of Montreal, stating that this Board, | having had a communication from the Secretary | of the Internanonal Board of Trade, reterring to a | resolution passed by that body calling the atcen- | tion of the Dominion Board of Trade to obsiacies in the Dominion waters common to vessels of buth ‘ countries, and that the Executive Council be in- structed to bring the subject under the notice of | the goverument, with a view to meet, if possible, the suggestions of the International Board of | ‘Trade. Carried. A committee was appointed to consider the joint reports of the Kingston and Toronto Boards of ‘Trade on the best mode of equipping pessenger | steamers with a view to the better protection of , le. The Board then proceeded to discuss the tariff | question, The iollowing resolution was offered by — Mr. McPherson, of St. John, and seconded by Mr. Mitchell, of Montreal :— | ‘That a duty of fifteen per cent is fair and reasonable, | and no disturbance of the tariff is at present desirable. | Mr. Gillespie, of Toronto, made a motion, which | was seconded by Mr. Eliot, of Toronto, that the | duty be mcreased to twenty per cent ad valorem. | Major Walker moved an amendment to the amendment that this Board approves of the inci- | dental protection to home manufacturers of fifteen per cent ad valorem, and is of the opinion that, iD required, it should be raised by the increase of duties on articles that are luxuries, not neces- saries; and that tuis Board is further of the | opinion that perseverance in the fiscal policy of the country is most important alike to commerce and manufacturers, A long discussion followed, tn which a number of members took part. At the morning session of the Board, Adam Board of Trade of Hamilton to bring before the Board the necessity of a ship canal at Sault Ste. | Marie, on the Canadian side of the river. As the | work was a commercial as well as a national neces- | sity, he moved (seconded by Mr. Peanock) ‘That in the opinion of this Board tt 1s of vital impor- | | tance to the inhabitants of the Dominion that a canal should be built at Sault St. Marie, and tnat | the government be urged to proceed with the | work a8 soon a8 means are at its disposal.” Mr. McLennan, of Montreal, considered there was danger that the country was undertaking too much for its resources. Ifthe canal was a com- mercial necessity we should strain a point to con- struct it, but he thought we would stultify our- | selves if we argued that the canal was a national | | mecessity, when we were endeavoring to obtain Teciprocai trade relations with our neighbors. The refusai of the Americans to allow our troops to pass through the Canal Was not from any unwill- ingness to accomodate Canada, but trom the fact that it was overlooked that permission was re- | quired, Permission was sent ior to Washington, | | when it was ascertained that a permit would have to come from the Governor of Michigan. When | application was made to the Governor by tele- ‘aph permission was immediately granted, As fe did Dot consider there was a pressing necessity tor the canal at present he would move that Mr, Brown’s resolution be laid on the table. Major Walker thought the country could afford to bave an unbroken line of communication be- tween our waters, without having to depend on | our neighbors. There was a commercial necessity underlying this scheme, and a national necessity for such a canal may occur again in the event of another insurrection in the Northwest. He would vote for the resolution. im favor of the scheme. Mr. Keelor, of St. Catharines, thuught the meas- ure should be leit to the government entirely. He | did not think tne country was suifering | from want of the canai yet, while they were suflering for want of the enlarging of the St. Law- | rence canals, deepening Port Coiborne harbor and the adoption of the Erie level of the Welland Canal. The question being put to tie Board, the amendment was lost, and the original motion car- | Tied without division. Mr. White, of Montreal, read a paper on the | doubie liabilities clause Of the act relating to bank stock, tracing the whole history of the matter, and advocating the repeal of the clause, | one. | countries he would give it support. He moved a | the Americans wishe | nexation, Duties had been paid since that time on | States gained nothing by abrogating the treaty, the event Of an increase in the revenue being Cei Brown, of Hamilton, said be was instructed by the | Ely | vins & Son. Mr. Howland, of Prince Edward Island, spoke | pe that country for the establishm: of another treaty shor be granted a favorable reception. He believed that reciprocity would tend to pro. mote a stil more friendly feeling between wo countries, and hoped there would s00! new treaty that would meet the wants of the people oa dota sides of the line. By this the interests of navigation and commerce would be served. Captain Dorr, of Baffalo, said the question of re- ciprocity was @ practical one, If the United States had the best side of the Washington Treaty with regard to the dsheries had bad the best of the old Reciprocity Treaty. it was not a mere uestion of dollars and cents that actuated the thitea ‘States in the matter of the abrogation of the old Reciprocity Treaty, but it was their way of striking balance. Canadians had made over their they have it now made up to them in ‘some other way. He claimed that so lo) as they al spring from the same race it was but proper they snould dwell together like brothers in unity. This would be brought about tn the shape of a strong bond of anion by the adoption of @ broad and lib- eral Reciprocity Treaty. He ailuded to Captain Butler’s recently published work, in which he calls Americans the natural enemies of Canadians. Such was not, however, the case. Captain Butler got his impression from a tew disreputabie men at St. Paul, when up there. In connection with the Red River expedition, no people under the sun rejoiced more at the success oi the Engiish-Canadians than did the Americans, and he characterized the remark of Captain Butier as being a vile slander, Hon. G. N. Howlan, of Charlottetown, P. E. I., said he could not vote ior free treaty or one om the same basis as the old By the war tne Americans had rolled up a large amount of debt and most of the ‘manufacturers were heavily taxed. If a commit- “tee of the Board of Trade, in conjunction with & committee of the National Board of Trade of the United States, were to draft such a treaty as would be beneficial to the commercial men of both ee resolution to that effect, which was attached to that of Mr. White. Mr. MacLaren, of Milwaukee, denied the truth of the impression that by the abrogation of the treaty to coerce Canada into an- their lumber, their grain and their four they im- ported from Canada, and oat of whose pockets did these taxes come? lt was not out of the pockets of manufacture! but those of consumers. Therefore they had in the and certainly could have ped nothing by an at- tempt to coerce Canada to annex itself to the United States, He concluded by expressing & hope soon to see @ fair srrangement | for reciprocity between the two countries, Mr. Fairweather, of St. Jonn, New Brunswick, said he was tn possession of statistics relative to the trade of the province he represented which fuily bore out the line of argument used by the mover of the resolutions, which, he said, he should vote in favor of. ‘The resolutivn was then put and carried unani- mously. ‘The subject of repealing the Stamp act then came up, and a resolution Waa moved to the efiect that it would be wise for the Legislature to repeal the law. The resolution was negatived on a division, ‘The Board shortly afterwards adjourned, in good time to attend a dinner given them at the Russel Honse by the Cabinet Ministers of Canada, all of ‘wnom who were at the Capitol being present, with other distinguished gentlemen. The proceedings passed off with much éclat, INDEPENDENT GRANGERS. ALBANY, N.
