LEGISLATIVE DOINGS—SENATORS BILL IN THH ASSEMBLY—THE DESTRUCTION OF THE POPE'S BLOCK FOR THE WASHINGTON MONU- MENT—THE NEW YORK MARINE COURT, ETC. SYBCIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK URRALD. Awpayy, March 10, 1854. The Senate having been on constant duty for ten or twelve days, without adjourning over a day, and alao concluded their labors on the Temperance bill, agreed this morning to proceed to Utica to-morrow, to visit the State Lunatic Asylum. Mr. Danforth opposed, remark- ing that the institution is applying for a larger appropria- tion, and the Senate will also be requested to visit every one which may hereafter require the bounty of the State. It was remarked by an outsider, that an exhibition of the inmates of the State Asylum should be given, as, by doing #0, the effect would be as successful as it always hag of him, 1 have only to say such an idea exists only in his imagination, and has not the slightest foundation truth. Iunderstand the gentleman to say he mou! the opinions of his constituents. . Mr. Sourgrs, (in his seat)—I did not say so. Mr. Lanx—I suppose the gentleman means he can. Mr. Sortens—I tell the gentleman, it is the duty of the representatives to endeavor to mould their opinions, and not to bo the servile tool of popular sentiments. Mr. Lank—I do not doubt the gentleman’s ability to mould the opinions of such as require it, and I ke God I represent no such constituency which requires five colored persons to be equal to three white mon. (The words were to this effect, though the reporter could not heer the language distinctly.) Mr. Hunt, (dem.) of La., rose, inquiring whether tho gentleman was in order in thus reflecting on those repre- senting slaveholding States. (Sensation.) Mr. LANE said he did not deny any gentleman was here less constitytionally than he was, but he was reply- ing to the gentleman from Maryland as to moulding opinions. Mitr, Sourens—T did not say I moulded the opinions of my constituents. ir. LANt—Bui endeavors to do so. I represent con- stituents whose opinions are their own. Mr. SourErs (in his seat, throwing back his head) ex- claimed, ‘Ah !” Mr. LANE—I am as stern in my opinions as anyother gentleman, and press those senies with as muchener- gy asIcan command. Itis the duty of Congress to get rid of these claims, which have been pressing from year to year. They should be acted on cither negatively or affirmative *y.and if the gentleman from Maryland will bring forward a just claim, no one will go further than I to support it. Mr. Orx obtained the floor. Mr. Sorzens expressed his wish to say a few words. Mr. Onr—I don’t like personalities. If I thought good would come out of it I would yield. Voicrs—‘‘Give way, Orr, and let Sollers reply.”’ “Give him a chance. Mr. Sorrns—I did not say I could mould the opinions of my constituents. 1 meant to rescue the independence of members from the direct personal control of their con- stituents. The CuarkMan (Mr. Campbell) said he felt bound to arrest these proceedings. Mr. SoLiErs remarked he could not go on. ‘Crime—‘‘ Go on, go on.’” Mr. Souens—I say this is a representative form of government, and the man who undertakes to represent a rticular constituency should be able to mould them to Taoptalons The man ought to be of such importance astodoso. I would not take a seat here if I could not mould some people, instead of being moulded by them. The honorable gentleman thinks I want to get into the ‘8.

A memorial was presented, charging gross malfeasance by Darius Clark, inspector, and J. L. Barnes, agent of the Clinton prison. It is stated that both of these publi: officers have appropriated. to themselves various ar ticles of public property, which, if proved, will show & species of small pilfering discreditable to those distinguished State prison officers. ‘The momoria! was referred to the State Prison Committee, and Mr. Pomeroy, the agent of the Auburn prison, copied tho charges and transmitted them to Darius Clark, the honorable gentleman thus publicly brought before the Senate. The doctor inspector will please prepare for the investigation. On account of the heavy expenses, debts and judgments constantly accruing, there is no doubt but the State would save large sums of money annually by opening the deors of the prisons, dischargit cial Hing every 0 hanger-on, and entering into contract with Messrs. Cole- man & Stetson, of the Astor House, for boarding the State students and mechanics. The New York Tax bill, which cused such excitement in the House, was reported to the Senate by Mr. Bishop, for consideration, remarking that three million appeara to bea Very extravagant sum. The bill will be amended in the Senate if Mr. Comptroller Flagg shall signify a de- sire to cut down the amount in the bill. Several bills of interest to the city of New York were introduced, among them one to amend the charter of the Fire Department, one to create a fire commission, and another to allow the Seventh Regiment to erect an armory. A report was received from the Auditor of the Canal Depariment, in relation to certain ex incurred upon the Eric canal—the difficulty which existed be- tween the Canal Commissioners and the late Canal Board, by which subordinates were removed and reinstated, and, consequently, large sum’ of eee were expended. Among other statements, it is lieged that the superin- tendents appointed by the Canal Board on the first sec- tion of the Erie canal, nineteen miles, contracted for labor from the 15th day of October to the 4th day of January, two months and.a half, the sum of $33,547 65 For hardware and blacksmithing. . 15,701 07 For lumber......s0060+ ,270 82 Miscellaneous, stone, &c. 2,824 6654 This was such an extraordinary developement that a committee, consisting of Messrs. Bishop, Crosby, and Spencer, was appointed to examine into the matter. Mr. Spencer will probably decline. ‘The contested seat case between Messrs. Storing and Blakely, was taken up, and Senator Crosby made a strong speech in favor of the sitting member. The question was upon a motion to send the case back to the Commit- tee on Privileges and Elections, authorizing them to take ig mee ot ‘The debate was further continued by Messrs. Lansing and Z. Clarke, both contending that it was right and pra- fer for the contestant to produce testimony to estabviish is claim to a seat. The question was not disposed of when the Senate adjourned. a When the Temperance billfrom the Senate was an- nounced in the House this morning, a most interesting scene occurred. It showed that there had been no cau- cus either among the ultra-temperance membors, or those who have the interests of the dominant party more at heart than the Maine liquor bill. A motion was made to refer the Dill to a select committee, to report com- plete; another, that they report on the 2lst inst. and again that the final vote upon the third reading, shall be taken on the 22d inst. ‘Tho Speaker would allow no de- bate, further than simply propounding questions as to the bearing of certain votes. An hour of discord was thus spent, when finally the friends of the bill were de- feated, by the dominant political majority, and the bill was referred to a select committee, who are directed to ES their report on Thursday next. Then, if tho louse takes the matter before committee of the whole, an interminable debate will and there can be no conjecture how or when it will end. Thero has arisen a strong feeling among the tem men against the amendment of the Senate, by which the operations of the billare postponed until December, and upon this pt there will be a tremendous fight in the House. hough everybody thought the bill was settled, it now appears that the carrying out the action of the whig Sen- 7 ets has prodyced a tempest which cannot casily ushed. the unfortunate inside.
