Our Special Aibsny Despatch, SENATOR STOW ON THE CONSTITULION CANAL PRO- TESTED DRAFTS—EXSOUTIVE 83SSION — NOMINA- TION OF BOWBN, STILWELL AND STRANABHAN— LARGE NEW YORK LOBBY—PIBRS AND LOCKS— PASSAGE OF BROADWAY RAILROAD BILL IN THE HOUSE—GBNERAL WORTH’S SWORDS, ETC., BTC. Auaany, April 6, 1868. Senator Stow’s bill for calling convention to amend the constitution wee under consideration this morning. That gentleman epoke over an hour in support of the measure, and gave bis reagons in an able argument, He contended that the ccrst:totioa yaa noworthy the cond: dence of the people; all the departments of the govera gent were two feeble and evanescent; the terms of ‘he Governor, State officers and the Senators were all too short. He wanted the executive to be invested with more power, and to appoint a large numper of oflicers who are now elected by the people. He wished to elevate the cbaracter of a!) the State oillcers, as weil as the judiciary, by removing their dependence for office further from the people, The Senate districts should be larger, the terms Jopger, and the Senators retire in clasees, so that three- fourths should remain in while one-fogrth new members should enter the body, which would render that branch of the Legislature more independent in its action and not dieturbed by party fluctuations. The members of the House he wanted elected by counties, and in New York so divi¢ed by districts as to be about equal to an ordinary sized county. He would have the judiciary, high and low, appointed by the Governor and Senate, for long terms or during good behaviour, and he would make the Executive reeponsible to ths people for a just and proper selection of thore officers. The present manner of elect- jog justices and judges is all wrong. You have a Court of Appeals, but you do not allow that high tribunal to pos- sess the er to appoint its own clerk, por a reporter to publish its opinions and decisions. The people want a Judiciary above popular excitement, restored to the days ‘shen ie bance wee graced with a Kent and a Spencer. Mr. Stow believed that the fault of our havingso many imcompetent public officers was owing to our miserable conptitution and the caucus system of selecting candi- dates. , The canal contractors have a claim on the State for non payment of Canal Commissioners’ drafts. The aggre- gate, which is interest, the Auditor computes at fifty-six thousand dollars. After the nine mi'lion became ex- bausted, the contracts pot being flaished, the contractors were either compelled to abandon their work or take pay- ment ip Commissioners’ draf's, trusting to luck and the future ability of the State to pay. Large amounts of these dra'ts, which the contractors took at par, they were obliged to get shaved at certain banks at a rate of ten per cent. Those banks were deposito-ies of caoel moneys col- lected on acconnt of tolls. the Auditor drew upon those banks for the money supposed to ve on hand, the banks sent him those Canal Commissioners’ drafts in pay- ment. The biil before the Seuate provides for the pay- ment of interest on all those drafts which are still out standing. Toe Senate struck ou! the clause paying inte- rest to banks, thus shaving the contractors out of ten per cent. ‘The executive session was & short one to-day. hencwa, taf coneequence was acted upon or decided. The Governor at length selected the names of three Police Commissioners, which were sent to the Senate to-day. They are James Bowen, Thomas B. Stilwell, of New York, aad James 8. T. Stranaban, of Brooklyn. fhe American’ party is highly enraged and terribly exasperated because Mr. Cholwell was rejected. They swear vengeance, and will use all their influence and power to defeat those nominations. ‘The report is tha} Governor King took upon himself the sole responsibility of rejecting Cholwell, and stated that he go despised the American party, its leaders and princi- ples, that be never would consent’ to confer any appoint ment upon them, and a ae o, important and retponrible ope as Police Comm! . If the democrats and Americans unite, it will require the casting vote of the President of the Senate to confirm those nominations.

The chief sup- port of crime in our city, contiz ued his Honor, is given by the large pumber of persons who buy and receive stolen goods, knowing them to be such. These are carried on openly, and the parties in them are known to the police. I bave every reason to believe that some of the more wealthy and extensive receivers Emile Som Oe Oe waiee pre pe sone belonging to the present police, as well as some who were of the old force, in order to obtain silence on their part, or an early intima- tion of any danger impending from a sortie of the police. It ig a): ost imponsibic 10 bring them to justice, 80 great are their precautions to avoid detection; and when that does take place ae Geek grsccnt of ener their cammand enables them buy off or suborn wit nesses, and thus defeat the ends of justice. Their victims are arrested and burried to prison, while they who cause and create the evil continue the nefayious business with apparent impunity. Youth of promise are by them seduced from rectitude and induced to engage in a career of crime; and to their influence we must altiibute a large majority of the murders ag well as larcenies which are perpetrated. The amount of crime which exists here is largely attributable to the support, protection and encouragement given to it by these establishments. Law is set at defiance, and its ministers thus far have not becn able to sustain ite dignity and eificiency. It is your duty to seek out the actors in this iniquitous practice, and to present them for public prosecution. Within the course of a few years a large number of men bave opened, and now have in all parts of the city, places of business, commonly krown as loan cfticee. Their usual — of gag one lato yaseiiee all kinds of rty ving a0 er. ttanding with the seller that ho sball be entitled to a return of the property at a specific time, provided be complies with their terms and pay the rato of interest y exact. There is, perhaps, no noed to remark that the terms in question are #0 constructed and inter. proted that the seller, although acting in good faith, can his ty again; and should he desire to do go he is compelled to pay an exorbitant rate of inter- est. This practice is in violation of the laws rela. Ung to pawnbrokers, and the offenders should be prompt- ly indicted and punished. A further reason for yonr in- Veatigation and efficient action in this direction, exists in the fact that these loan offices are largely and chiefly ized by thieves, for the purpose of disposing of Biicn property.
