There is marobing, counter marchiog, tramping avd shovldering arms that echo and re echo tDronghost the city. The sentinels and bearers of mea- sages ure lying to and fro, never reeling from their duties ‘excep’ to lay their heads ypon their knapsacks, with one eye upon the enemy apd the other viewing the mountuns of stock, gold ani other valuable rocks that lie at the Dottom of all their patriotism, and which they see will vavish unless their particular railroad ig granted them. It {9 certainly interesting to leok upon the amount honesty of ‘hat these railroad patriots exhibit a if to make us al) believe that they aro the only hones; ones; but I see ip this, We all other matters around this Legislature, that it mskes all the aiffurence in the world as to whose ox is gored. Let them fight over the spoils if they wish—it makes life in Albany all the more spicy, as well as furnishes amusement for those wuo read ihe reports at a distance. The masses in New York—those who have not their brown stone fronts, coach and footmen—all want greater railroad facilities, and { the Legislature wil! only grant them, they don't carethree | cents to whom, and would be j cats and dogs fight leaving nothing but loft. ch other up, tails of the whole baad nsideration that have hat have | mined | they are let As goon as the bil!s a a motion wilt be mate ¢ punt th been reported. ‘This mot on comes from tt Bot been favored in the report made, and are that no one else shail have a chauc> unl bronght in; otbers ge for the motion upon the sucker principle; they have been hanging on to a straw trying O gota Uttie Gider out of the railrox barre’ refore the lobby | is echoing with their cries What i 8 must be resom- mitted. ‘The times are lively aud interesting in and aboat the lobby Quite @ disturbance has been created mongst } Yhurlow Weea’s and George Law's job 3, by the introduction, by Senator Mouroe, of a Dill’ granuag to certain corporators @ charter for a rattrord ta Mew York, from Fifiy-ninth street to Fulioa ferry, through Seventh avenue aad ¢ sting — streets The peculiar features of th wveuue and Fulton ferry Dill tre, that the corpor pay in perpetaity into the city tr the yearly net earn nge of th mill upon each presenger cai {also to pal 1, to be paid for the support of 4 hospital in the uyper part of the city, ‘Thie last feature has been attempted to be ridiculed, bat itis difficult to ithe exact place where the langu comes in.

The examina — Ucn commenced with Mr. Holmes, who stated the reasons | why ho Suits were commenced before the year 1859, and then suggested amendments to the law, He proposes to strike out the section making it a misdomeauor to sell on Sunday, and to put the parties on the stand es witacases. | He stated also thy number of suits, and that they were | progressing a8 fast as the courts would allox, He answer- ed all the questions pot to him with great clearness and avillty, and made a fair impression upom the committee, and showed the Jega) position of the Board, and that all its ota Were Condacted with strict regard to the interests of toe county, add stated that every iadacement was offered & versena to take ont Comms Lik cued Mr. Heskett, President of =u wy, | wade of the city. | and that the liceuse should express upon i the Board, He stated that he would answer the question of the Genate, “Why were ne more than 367 licennes gravt- od in the city of New York?"’ Ho saia tho reply was, simply because people would not take them; and continued by saying that the hostility of the peop'e not lie tm the fact that they would mot pay Cor a license, if | granted op reasonable terms, but the present law had 60 mavy harsh features tn it that it was almost impossible to comply with its requisitions, He said he would sae a few:—Firat, the taw required the siguatures of twenty | residents of the election dstrict, all of whom mut be free- holders im the State, He sald that tho electiva district | Dearest the City Hall, in the Sixth ward, did not contain twenty actual residents, and they were principally young men pot freeboiders, aod who boarded in the hotels, It was clear that no license 0» grepted here if the law was sharply admis and yet this district needed more res hotels, saloons and eaticg houses thin avy piacd down town, because every day ser and people Were drawn tothe (ity Hallas suitors, la Tors, officers, constables, pol o, aud arious clerks employed by the mur vernment o be Sheriff's, Surrogate’s, Register's aer’s aod County Clerk's officer, and that ail of thea lived, probably, miles from this piace, and bad to deperd for their dinner and food and drink at noon on the houses in ts legally proscribed locality, becauee it would be impoesible to go home and get proper food and return to their several places of busi- nets without a geveral interruption of business. This bo eaid woult spply to ower districts of the city. ‘The number of the ‘/petitioners—twenty required by the Juw—was too great, and also thatthe number of sureties to the bond was wouccessary, aad very diificuit to be ob- tained. It isa tact thay the citizen of a great city has a repugnacce to ask & person to sign paper of any kind for him, and he has the same dishke to sign one It is very difficult~and he ‘suew it from professional life—to art two men Wgetber to sign a paper for another, for every man is eagerly evgaged in his own affairs, of another. and cannot wait for the couvenienc: He would, therefore, suggeet the propriety of siiking out twenty freebolaers and insert six citi- zens and neigbbor?, and bave one surety to the boad. He stated that the Supervisors of each county ought to fix the license fee, and that the sum shoult be unifora. At this stage of the proceeding he was avked by ono of the Senators if the New Yorkers would obey Mr. Harkett replied promptly that he ki citizens would respond to any law tant was fair and libe at Senator Jobnson’s Dil probation and have been obeyed by the w Mr. Haskett then comm very rapid apd yet very clear manner to state his thoory of this whole question.” He said that prohibition was im poesible, aud productive of great moral injury tn ta 1uciog people to evade and set wt nauekt the [aw of It never could prevail in New York, and it then important to look at this liquor question in a light of pare practicability, He sata tat the traffic ia Lquor should Be based on &@ pecuuiary poltoy, and thatevery man who would pay for # license Should be to have one, face the con- ditions on which it was granted; that the licensee ehould pot sell to @ drunken maa or woman, or minor, or afer twelve o'clock at night to five o'clock in the morning. If he violated these provisions he should pay a penalty of ten dollars, aud if he was unable to pay the penalty, imprison him; and thus by a Beale of pecuniary fines regulate the trafic. This would, if energetically enforced, suppress intemperance; auo to erforce it, let the officers of the law have aa into: rest in the penalties. This was the substance of bis re marks, which were listened to with great attention by the Senators, and as Mr. Haskett proceeded w unfold his the- ory he ivereased ia fluency and warmth. We had sup- bored that he was more of a writer than a speaker, but were agreeably disappointed. But there leaked out something yesterday that expoeed the whole of this attempt to incuipate the Exctso Commis sioners. The black republicans are determined to bi the excise power in the Police biil, and thus to hold in hand the democratic rumecilers, This {s a bold move; and what makes this so startling is that aman on whom the liquor interest retics has gone in for this; go that the three uew Commissioners of Police shall be Commissioners of Excise, and thus the Railroad bill shail go hand in haud, and the liquer interest be sacrittocd tor this parpose. This is friendeabip with a vengeance. It is understood thata cor- tain legal gentleman, almost professionally and political | ly a lobby member, is to be the attorney and counsellor of the new Police Board, and particularly of the Excise De- partment.

No lease shail authorise for Jaying more than a single track on any street not over sixty fect wide.
