Albany, May 15.?The Utter from Ezra Cornell to
Gov. Dix was first read by the Governor in the New
York papers of to-day. Neither the tele_rraphic
?b-patch nor the letter had come to the hands of the
Governor when both made their appearance in print.
When it became known this morning that no such
communication had been received by the Governor
many were ready Is pronounce both of them forg?
eries, bul on inquiry at the telegraph office
it was found that the dispatch was re?
ceived fntin Ithaca yesterday afternoon,
and the reason for its failure to reach the Governor
is that it was given to John W. Dix, the Governor's
?on and private secretary, who forgot to deliver it,
and went to New-York with it iu his pocket.
Opinions differ here as to the truth and justice of
Mr. McGuue'. strictures on the founder of Cornell
University, one party claiming that they are sub?
stantially SOSISSJ. while the other say they ar<" only
the SS?M <'f the spite and envy of th?' people of llav
sutiah, in Sdinvler County, where Met.uire resides,
and where the " People's College" isaituated, which
failed to p.'t tlw advantage of the Government land
l!_m that was -?ecured by the Cornell Institution.

Ai.banv, May 15.?The report of the Con?
ference Coti.iuiitee on the aunu il Appropriation MO
nine up for < ??t.cnrrcnc? Is tli?" Assembly this morning,
??in n a Isas discussion arose on the item appropriating
M.OOO for th? pun base- of COCO Bemlngton breech-load*
- for ihe Natioua) Guard. This item was stricken
?ui of tbe bill when it nrst came liefore tbe Assembly
t?y a larpe majority, but wan reinstated by tbe Senate
?ii,l ( ..v un. d in by the Conference Committee.
Mr. Inrt ??Mired tbe House that the Controller favored
It. and raid that be had s? nt for him and told him so p. r
wiially. N'otwithstandini* this assurance, and the fart
that the A'ljutatit-Ceueral wan on the floor of the House
loh'.i?iig for ths Item durlntc the discussion, it was
?tnikeii out t'v ? vote of 60 to 49. The report of the Con?
ference Cumin.ttee, with the exception of this item, was
BflSSSi-S.
Aiuoua. tbe new item? inserted by the Conference Com?
nntUe is chip to cover the necessity created by the recent
StcMton of tbe Court of Appeal? for some legislation to
eompel the OasBtf of Km--? to raise Its portion of tbe
canal dcflctcui y tax which it refused to raise la?t vear.
Ttie portion of KinKa County 1? |_>O,000, and it Is required
to levy u?at amount next Fall. Alderman Richardson
ha?, drafted a bill to authorize the Supervisor? of Kim,.
County to raise the money by tbe Issue of boud- pu> BUS
b> tnttalluii nt* in tbe next eight year?, -o-?.
This san.' r. port of tbe Conference Committee Wa?
adopted hy ih.' Kenato last Friday, but the Assembly
took tbe ?afer courte of having tbe report printed and
placed in tbe band, of members. This particular Con?
ference Commun?<? it undoubtedly entitled to great con
fld? in?, but th. precedent set by tbe Senate is a highly
-ansrerou? one notwithstanding. The report, referring
a? it did to the engrossed bill by pnga and line, was
nciyssanly unintelligible to every one who did not have
ahandindi_w,u_ltup, and furthermore it embodied
nrw matt?r of great importance. It 1? to bo
hoLn-d that the Senate __. -,t\\ aa the
A?-niibly, when in course of tun? a Con?
ference Committee reports on the content? of the Supply
bill, will have the r. port printed. The fact Is that the
reportsuf a Conference Committee on an appropriation
hill is invariably a very different bill from that which
passed either House. Frequently such reports have
Wen the mttiumentalitie? or perpetrating gigantic
?sludle?. Finally, It may be added, that the Appropri?
?t,... b,li, -Mipply bill, and bill .. \yibg a tax and making
