Aunayy, March 6, 1961. ‘The shakk up that the Post Office received in the Assem- bly yesterday created a wonderful consternation among the friends of the bill in the third house, and has shewn to them that circulars printed in the office of the Evening Pos and buttonholing members with all manner of statements docs not go down with as many members of this Legisiature as it did last year. All understand why Lucius Robinson supported the bill, He formerly | practiced law in New York, and bad his office in the same building as the Evening Post. If | mistake not, his shingle is still upon one of the doors of that buili- ing. He ig, therefore, as far ag he is identided with auy iuterests in the city of New York, identitiod with those that are now huddled around the present site. Mr. Hardy, who representa ono of the up town wards of the city, also favored the bill, Jt is bat just to him that Tshould state that he believes that the question of loca- tion is not at all involved in this matter, or at least that it fs not what they are calicd upon to dvcide, Were he to cast bis vote, as between the City Mali Pack and the Present site, he would vote for the Park. The bill is now o2 tho Hat of unfinished business of the general order, and requires a two thirds vote to make it a special order again. Unless there is some connivance on tae part of the clerks or Speaker with the friends of this measure it can ‘not be reached for some time to come. ‘There is considerable feeling in regard to the myste- rious disappearance of the remonstrance. One of the | members of the committee states that the remoustrance bas beea in the hands of the committee. This at onve clears the clerks of tho Hoase of ali suspicion councetod with ft, and places the responsibility entirely upon the shoulders of the Cities and Villages Committeo—aud tho public will hold them responsible for its disappearance, Senator McLeod Murphy called from the table his reso- lution offered yesterduy, in relation to the action of the Police Commissioners of New York sending detectives South, which was adopted:— ‘Whereas, it appeare from a letter of John A. Keunedy, General Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police, ad drcveed to Geo, P. Kane, Marshal of Police of the city of Laltiore, dates February 28, 1861, that he had officers cce:sicnally in Baltimore und Turther South, even Charles- ton, ever since these secession troubles begun ty show form—from which in appears that ihe said Superintendent Kennedy, wath othr officers of the Metropolitan Police, have been employed beyond the limite of the State of New York wituout authority of law, in violation of the comity existing between the States of thir confederacy and sgainet the wishes of their people; therefore, Resolved, That the Board Metropolitan Police Com- missioners be requested to report to the Senate, as early a8 practicable, the names of all persons in the’ Pos lice Department who have been employed in ot ur States of the Union, the nature of their employme™t, together with their instrociions and correspondence, except such as relates to fugitives from justice, notorious criminals aud persone justly suspected of offences against tho laws of this State. Senator Counolly yesterday oflored the following in re- gard to the police of New York, which was adopted :— ‘Whereas, it is alleged pie hp fare habitually de- tained as prigoners unreasonably and unlawiully by the Metropolitan Police force, and that pereons held in custo- Gy by said force as criminals or suspected persons are frequently discharged by officers of the force without being brought before a magistrate for examination; therefcre, be it Regolvec, That the sx vject be roferred to a select com: mittee, consisting of the Senators representing the Motro- politan Police district, to inquire into the practice of arrest, detention and discharge of poreons by said force, to be re- ported at the earliest convenience of the committee, and that the committee have power to send for persons and papere. The resolution was adoptea, and the Police Com- missionre officially notified today. ‘The apewer of the Commicsioners to the former reso- Jution of inquiry may be found of some importance to frightened politicians, aad show to President Lincoln the real donger that be escaped in his midnight flight in his Seotch rig through the city of Baltimore.

Tuthill, oneof the Suffolk members who isopp2sed to the bill, was out of the houee isch wging his duties us a member of the Gib- bons Investigating Committee, and was auder the im- preesion that the bill would met be reached that morn- ing, Dut founa that it was read Whilst he was absent, and out of order, as he believed. The Speaker, upon the statement of Mr. Tuthill that he though: the bill Lad been read ovt of order, stated that at the commencement of the seeeion of that morning he eaw that there was not enough present to act upon three-fifths bi!l, he therefore ordered the Clerk to select from the bili aiting third reading the majority bilis, aud that they be read iu thatorder wntil enough mem: bers made their appeatavce to act upon the threo tifths pil's. This is the custom thathas always been ‘adopted by the House, and realiy assists the transaction of basi- nese. With this statement Mr. Bergen, tho friend of the Zoutheide bill, couseuted to have the vote reconsiderea, that Mr. Tuthiil could be heard, Mad not Bergen given bis consent to have it recousiverea, the motion would pot lave carried.

" be Dill to levy ar collect tolls on the railroads com- petir g with the canals was considered in the Committee of the Whole this morning. Colonel May took strong grounds agairet the policy of tolling railroads, and was in favcr of allowing every carrying system to stand upon ils cwn merits. He moved thet the Erie Railroad be ex- clcded from the provisions of the bill. Mezsrs. Prender- gast and Smith both favored an amendment to exclude {8 provisions from Chautavqua county. Mr. Sandford, one of the members of the committee, replied to the objections raized against the bill, that the committee bad endeavored to prepare a bill which would be the least objectionable throughout, aud he be- lieved it was as unobjectionable as it well could be, and trusted that the amendmeus would not prevail. “Mr. Rebingon taxing the thought if anything was done in the matter, a was to fall back upon the policy and manner of levying tolls before it was removed from the Central road; but he thought that the whole trouble that the friends of the canal were now laboring under, aad the reagcna why they desired te levy toll, arose from the wv ismanegement o1 the cavals, and showed that the busi- ness of the canals had been’ gradually increasing ever bipce the faays apes of the canal, notwithstanding the comapetition of the railroads. Severs] members spoke both for and agaiust the tolls, but it looks as though this unwiso and undemocratic policy will be adepted by the House, ‘The toll question bas become a regular standing hobby of politicians at Buffalo, Oswego and aiong the lise of the canals.
