The Character of the Legisla tion of the Session. What Has Been Done for the City of New York. No Health Bill, Charter Amendments Nor City Railroads. The Republicans Announce at Last Their Policy to be Non-Interference in the Finances of New York City. Wo Modifications of the Quaran- tine Regulations. The Last Message of the Governor to the Assembly, bo. boy &e, Arnany, April 23, 1862. ‘The legislative machine has finally come to @ stand. ‘Btill, and adjourned sine die. Nothing extraordinary characterized the session this morning. The usual con currence in the amendments to bills in each House, tae appointment of two or three travelling committees—one to look into the modus operandi of making salt at Syra- cuse, another to scrutinize the unclaimed deposits in tho savings banks, and still another to prepare an essese mont law for tho next session of tho Legislature. The amendments to both of the New York tax luvies were concurred in by the Assembly, and have been" finally disproved of—by this timo signed by the Gover- nor, There was no great dourish on the adjournment, and none of those demonstrations thet eharacterized the winding up of the last Legislature, no singfhg of pa- triotic songs or excitement over the storming of forts by the rebels, but ina quiet, business like way the session drew to ite close. Now that they have adjourned, and their labors at an end, itis the appropriate time to look back and review what they have done and comment upon the manner that they havo discharged their duties. There have been many Legislatures far worse than this, and but few have adjourned without passing more objectionable laws than tho present; but while crodit is due them for defeating the Schimes, and preventing tho passage of many corrupt measures, they have likewise defeated many wise and beneficient bills, those that would have done honor to ne Legislature to havo placed them upon the statute Anumber of these measures were strangled in the Assembly Committes—some .of which had passed the Senate, There are strong suspicions as to the cause of all thie; but enough for mo to state that the action of the committee in holding on to these bills caused great rejoicing in the lobby. The public can draw thetr inference, ‘The city of New York has escaped tolerably well this jon, although many measures asked for by the people have been allowed to slumber and not be hoard of until tho committee today sent their papers and documonts to the Clerk's desk. The Metropolitan Health bin, over which there has been such a bitter fight, and the Seward and Chase factions arrayed against each other—Raymond tho leader of the former, aod Groeley aud Opdyke the latter—has died an easy death. It passed the after a great exei but when it came to tho the war was opened upon it, The struggle was a flerey oue; but while the factions here were struggling for the mastery, Greeley came to tho rescue of Opdyke and the Chase side of the House with its Prin This strengthened those of tho republican faith who had ar. Tayed themselves against it and settled its fate. After afow struggles it was permitted to die unwatehed and unheeded—no one even willing to watch over it in its dying agonies, nor even to shed a tear as it was trundled oif to tho potters? field. ‘The great excitement now {3 to find cut who is responsible’ for its defeit, inasmuch aa there was a fund of several thousand dollars rai reward there who accomplished that fea my duty, a6 an impartial observer of the events, to give ai opinion upon that question, Notwithstanding the fact that there wore numerous persons here laboring night aud day to accomplish that object, the only thing they could do was to cause certain Senotors to waver, hesitate and doubt. Finally, when Greeley camo out with hie are ticio backing up Mt. Updyke, and against the Dill, those Setiators who were hesitating at once planted themselves against the bill and docided its fate. If, therefore, any person is to be paid the money that is said to have been raised to defeat this bill, we insist that it eball be paid to the right person, and not ono set bo pai | for the services of the other. "Greeley is theporson entitled to that lobby fund. there is sey bouor or emolument below ing to those wio have detvatwil it, it should goto bin. Others | know will se. np their oc! but they are not eutitied to it, That bill conid not ba Deen dofeated in the Sewate if it had received the port of Mayor Opdyke and the Prabune, or rather ihe Chare faction. Noamendment to tho city charter bas found its way through. Ali the excitement aud promises in regard to thishas gone for puthiog. The Mayor bas yewor that ho did when he was e'¢ctei, and no mor ¢ trusted in this Legislature he pliced his confiden broken reod, for there was nota moment, from the time dint the Legislaty ‘ i tho coumitteos were appoint when there was any earthly chance of persing ything that would confer acditi upon the Mayor of New York. ihe de dy to hor!» 4g of (be republi toncy should attempt it beep made there would ha stormy tir Abone tine during the eosnion there was a stro deneo,\hat any quantity of railroud chators woud “oO through thie winter.

As to who ts responsii.lefor this failure I have no desire to decide— suftigient for me to state that the bili was defeated, as thousands in Now York desired and prayed thmt it would be, The Speaker at fret was a cordial supporter of the moasure, but fivally went at work secretly against it, although the advocates of the measure vend that he held out to the end and was going with them to the last. ‘The measure has gone the way of all other city railroad bills. Peace to its ashes. Lot all tread lightly over its tomb, and may it never have @ resurrection. ‘The only other raitroad measure that exhibited any par- ticular strength was the Spring street railroad, that was ordered to a third reading; but it wes afterwards found ‘that an ainendmont had been agreed upon by the com- mittee, aud the friends of the bill had by some hocus pocus, while it was in the hands of the committee, dis- appeared. When the bill camo up for third reading it was ‘committod to place that amendment in the Dill, and remained recommitted until the final adjournment of the Legislature, No other city railroads bave been heard of since they were introduced and referred to the com- mittee. The plans are being matured for a grand rach next session. ‘The notes of preparation are alrealy being sounded, and we should not be surprised to see tho nar legistative body have the railroad mania on the rain. Efforts were made to legislate in regard to numerous interests in the city of New York, sueh as extending the term of tho offices of justices, police and civil; but all of those movements were nipped in the bud. The Legislature, ns leaving New York matters, even inciud- ade and made lands, just about where they were.when it commenced, as far as the city is concerned, although at one time it looked as though no interest there was too sacred to be overturned. The people have rene to hope that there will never be a worse Legis- ure, The tax levy has had @ more than usnal contest, whilst in the Asseinbly. Speaker Raymond prevented the insertion of any item, and insisted upou striking out the salaries of the Common Council, They were left opt by tho committee, and the levy was jussed with them. Whilst in the hands of the Committee of the So- nate the salaries of the Common Council were inserted, and severa! other items, amounting in ail, boskies to about one hundred thousand sharp and bitter fight took place over these additional items. The Comptroller arranged for making tho levy ag small as possible this year as a trump card to secure his election. The fight waged ex- ceedingly warm. The republicans all at ouce repudiated their policy heretofore, for it was under their rule that this system of adding items to the tax levy in Albany ‘was inaugurated, and came out on the policy of nou-inter- ference with the local authorities in New York. We hope they will continue to act upon that principle. Under that cry of principle everything was stricken out except the jes of the members of the Common Council which was in the Comptroiier’s budget, and stricken ont in the Assembly, though the pergonal eilorts of Raymond wore inserted, and the levy thus passed and concurred in by tho Assembly. ‘The Primary Eloction bill of Mr. Coddington has had a singular career; It was ground out by the Grinding Com- Mitiee; @ motion to commit it to the Coimitice of the Whole failed, but afterwards recommitied to the Grinding Committee, with instructions to strike out the enacting clause, was reported back by that commit- too, when Mr. Coddington movod to disagroe with tho report of the committee, and that it bo ordered toa third reading. After a short, characteristic speech in favor of it, the motion was carried, but the bill failed on its third reading, reeeiving only fifty-tive votes. Quarantine matters remain untouched. Tho city of New York will have to rely-upon the same officials and regulations that they have in be ae better or worse, has been made dfring this session. With these few points in regard to the logislation for the city of New York, I will leave the subject; but will at an early day take occasion to review the general logisla- tion for the State at large during this session, adding ‘o that in that I shall find more to condewn thom for raving undone than I shall for what they have done. I am satified that less objectionable laws have been passed this session than for several years past, and in this pot it is the best Legislature that has becn here for the last ten years. As for tho honesty of the membors, I am sat- isflod from movements and operations that there are full as many in the Assembly that ‘could be seen” as there were che P var ago; about as third rate men, and ap equal f men of talent. » balance in the ena, by the check that has been held by the Senate on the As- sembly, and vice versa, will probably come out in favor of honesty and integrity. ere is DO great cause to plain. In this respect the last messages to the two ures is @ case in point. Lust year, when tho committee waited upon his Excellency to inform him that the Assembly was ready to adjourn, he replied that he bad nothing further to communicate than to send his complimenis and “hoped they would have a safe and speeay return home.” His message to a similar commit- tee to-day ‘complimented and congratulated them for so successfully coming,to thecluse of their labors, and wish- ed-them a safe return to their homes, and trusted that their constituencies would always be as well represented,” They have taken their departure, their deeds are on record, an@a just public will decide who bas the most hy aitended to their interests. ‘The eontirmation by the Senate of tho appointment of Thomas Jerome as ‘bor Master, has not been trans- mitted to the Governor. The rules aro that they shall Jay over one week after boing confirmed before the result is officially communicated to the Governor for him to commission. They are not cansidered fully contirmed until they are transmitted. The result cannot be offi- cially communicated sooner without unanimous consent. One objection provents it. A motion was made that Mr. Jerome's name be sept to the Governor, with a mesa that be is confirmad. It was objected to, The quostion arises, Can his name bo seut to the Governor, now that the Senate has adjourned? If not, then he cannot be considered confirmed, This raises a nice point, aud is ® subject considerable controversy among the pdliticiang, about which they appear to be about equally divided, Unkss the name can be transmitted, upou the lapse of @ week Goyeruor Morgan canact commission him, and ne isno better off than he would have been hid the Senate refused to re- consider the vote rejecting him, Nearly five huudred laws have beon passed this ses- Only one was vetoed. About fifteen of those not yet eigued will not recetve the approval of the Governor. The Troy University and People’s College Appropriation aro both laws by default, the Governor neither signing bor vetoing them until teu days elapsed. ‘The Lagislature having adjourned, no more bills can become laws without the signature of the Goveruol Aibany igalmost dese:ted.

A change in the Navy Department has been positively determined upon. The President is waiting only to fx upon the individual who i to fill the place of Secretary of tho Navy. General Banks, Judgo Davis, of Hiinois, aud Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, are each strongly urged for this distinction; &ut the selection bas not yet been made. THR FRENCH MINISTER'S VISIT TO RicHMOND. No political importance is mMtached to tho vistt of the Freoch Minister to Richmond. It ia said ta quarters usually woll informed upon diplematic subjects, that, al- though the Southern authorities may acek to take advan- tage of it, bis going thither wag on business in ¢lose oon- nection with the Consulates. Undue importance has also been ettached to the pre, sence of ex-Senator Gwinin Richmend. It is believed that his business is of # domestic rather than of a politi- oa! character, It can be safoly slated that the visit of these gentlemen to Richmond is not in the romotert degree connected with the Cuited States goverument, as has been, without rea, fon, surmised. THB CONFISCATION BILL. Confiscation has been the theme of discussion in Con- grees to-day, The subject presents greater difficulties than ever. In the Senate, Mr, Davis concluded speech, in which he attacked the bill with bis entire sirength, defending himself from occasional flank move- mente of Senators Sumner and Halo, A general battle upon the bill took piece in the House, ‘The radicals opened some of their heaviest batteries, whieb were replied to with spirit by the conrorvatives, The growing conservatism of the country is making jinelf felt upon the radicals, and thoy are becoming des- pevate. Mr; Hickman, of Pennsylvania, made a fierce assayit upon President Lincoln, asserting that his cowardice and shirking froxn remponsibilities assumed by him when te took the oath of ofiice, bad forced Congress to adopt measures (o bring bim upto Mis duty, Had Jackson been President, eaid Mr, Hickman, no legislation of this con | temptible charaeter would have been required; but ayw | Congress is compelled to perform its own duties and those wersion. He opposed the general proposition of #he Dill, Which contemplated the destruction of all the rights in their property of citizens of the States now in rebellion, and making the President an overseer of a milion ne- g7088, a8 contrary to the constitution and the most sacred principles of law. He also defended the President in @loquent terms, denying that he was a coward inde- clining to do what (he constitution todo. bir. Crittenden’s manner, while replying to the onslaught of Mr. Hickman, was mogt animated, and the e members gathored closely around him to catch every word uttered by the venerable man, who seemed in- spired by the ogcasion to speak with all the energy left him after @ half century’s service in the hails of logis jation.

Tho Dill recognizing the independence of Hayti and Li- ‘Deria, and for the appoivtinentof diplomatic representa- tives, was taken up. “ Mr! ScmNeR said’ thus far oar government, usually friendly to new governments, had turned aside from ‘these nations. He thought it wis time to put anend to this anomaly in the history of this governinent. Hayti was one of tho most beautiful and fertile islands in the world, It has a surface of 26,000 square miles, being about th eof Ireland, Itholds a commanding a ‘tion in the Gulf, and bis maintained its independence for nearly sixty years. Liberia, stretching along the coast of Africa, is about tho same in size, and seems. ied favered in rich fertility than Hayti; but especially Hayti excels in the production of cotton, sugar and palm oi. ‘The argument for treaties with such countries becomcs irresistible in view of the domands of commerce.

Tho Sandwich Islands have only a population of seventy thousand, while Hayti has six hundred thousand popula- tipn, and her exports amount to $2,673,000; yet at the Sandwich Islands we have a Commisgioner and three consuls, Haytiln the last year took more fish, cotton goods, soap, butter and lard than Cuba and Porto Rico together, and more than many other countries where we have a ‘full diplomatic representation, If any other, argument Is needed, it is found in the condition of things in the West India Islands and Mexico. Spain is attempting to recover a foothold in the Wost Indies by the recognition of Hayti. We must check such schemes of ambition and preserve the balance of power among these islands. Liberia also, though not so important commorcially, yet has strong demands for recognition. By recognizing these two nations we only tardily follow te example of the prineipal nations of the world. The bill was then postponed until to-morrow, and the Confiscation bill was taken up. THE CONFISCATION BILL, Mr. Davis resumed his remarks in opposition to the bill. id that he had already detained the Senate at some lefigth on this question; but be considered that in tho importance of its effects the biil had no parallel. He contended that Congrons had no right to pags such a Dill under the pretended war power. He quot iu every possivie way, They thomsclves had drawa the sword and throwm/awt pe Scabbard, and now should bo visited withtaa punishment due fo their atrocity. Towards the condiusion of bis remarks, Mr. Colfax ex- pressed his wlingncss to support’ Senator Sher- man’s bill or Senator Trumbull’s, especially favoring that clause of the fop.ner which excluded from office , aftor all who comtinued to hold office under the rebeHion. He appealed to doose, who like himself, had valued con- stituents killed, maimed.and wounded by rebel enemies: on the battle figid, whilo sustaining our government and Union, to remesiber that we here stood between the liv- ing and the degd, and owed it to our brave soldiers to strike down thp power of rebellion by evory legislative measure porsif le to enact. Mr. Donn, (¢ep.) of Ind.,believed if the vote had been taken last evep.ing on-the bill which to-day was laidon the table it would have passed the House.
