ALBANY, April 5, 1860, PASSAGE OF THE CITY TAX LEVY. ‘The Senate this morning passed the New York city tax levy. It received barely the necessary vote, and against it were arrayed the names of Andrews, Folger, Gibson, Low and some of the best names in the Senate. It is astonishing that the impracticable ideas of the so-called ~ reformers of New York city should receive so much at- tention here as to force, under the plea of reform, so much that is preposterous and mischievous upon the action of ‘the Legislature, The plea of good motives goes a great way, ‘Dut it really begins to be suspected that something more than this 1s now resorted to. I can scarcely credit the statement, yet it is currently reported here that the rump of the Hecker and Wood combination of last fall 4s pursuing a subdorned and sinister course, and is" using appliances of the basest nature here, whether by their immediate sanction, or by the intervention of such agency as they invoked in their alliance for the municipal campaign. | Seeing Folger, Andrews, Gibson, Sessions and Low ‘Voting against this tax levy, and the head of the Street Department tn favor of it, looks exactly of @ piece with the arrangement by which the levy was sent here in dis- Jointed parcels, so as to dodge the veto of Mayor Hotf- Jnan and the exploitation of certain of the provisions Which have gone throuzh the Senate. The clause sent hore, under the endorsement of the Ciuzens’ Association, Fostricting contracts and expenditures and vaca! ing the ability of the city where an appropriat'on lias en exceeded, 18 a contrivance which will give rise to exactly the same state of things ‘as that which alike Hmitation of the street cleaning cou- tract brought aldut undor the rég'me of Boolo in 1564-5. This restriction, then applied to the single item of street loaning, provided a limit of $300,000, and the Fesult was an expenditure of about a milifon of dol- Jars, The new provisions may be Intended to accow Pplish the like disorder and confusion in all the depart- ments and boards ("or it applies to all), and, with the fame purpore, their general destruction, ‘This beng usually the temper in which the eilizens pursue their reforms, it seoms likely enough, and their end will be most effctually accomplished in the clauses referred to, At will aitord a year of general jubilee to the jobbing contractors, and the now Comptroller, to be elected this Year, will inherit more claims and jadgments than Haws did from old Flagg. TUE COU STY TAX LEVY—KEY TO TM COURT HOUST ROW. ‘The nigger in the Court Hous» woodpile came ont to- day in the Assembly upon the discussion of the county tax levy. Half a million of doliars being provided for corcying on the work, an ar*ndment was offered pro- viding that the expenditure sho ld be made under a com- tisstoner to be appointed by the Mayor. This, then, ‘was the object of the Court House row. It is w put the Court House back into the hands of the “sur- ‘Viving commissioner.’? It will be recollected that J. B. Corlies, nes Salmon and Wilson G. Hunt were the original Court House Commissioners, Salmon died, and the other two members disagreed. A fight ensued the gist of which bas been whether the Mayor's com- isaloner or the other man should carry on che work. ery Mayor since Wood has had this Oghton hand, ‘Ak bas been a sort of Mayor's legacy, which each took up in success! on the of vindicating his juris- diction. This is the cause of the delays which have ‘ob tructe@sne completion of the buildiag. The amend- Tent, discussed in a heated manner for a good part of the morning Ip the Assembly, provides that the gon- ‘tracts be all out anew and the whole work built cover agaln by the “Mayor's commissioner.'? Supervisor Ely has been the champion “on this line’ for years; but its defeat to-day, it {s to be hoped, will allow the epiendidt designs of John Kelium to be completed, and give us at east one architectural edifice for New York which, as a public building, will not disgrace the elty.

Hurford, et al.—This case itivolves some important and interesting points relative to the transaction of Indian affairs under the administration of Mr. William P, Dole, late Commis- sioner in charge of that department at Washington. In 1861 the plaintiff, Mr, Henry De Puy, was appointed by Mr. Lincoln agent to the Pawnee Indians, in Nebraska ike Territory, and the presont libel sult grows out of trans- actions which be had with the defendants, Mr. Oliver P. Hurford and his brother, who were merchants doing business in that region. The libel, as it is alleged, con- sists in the defendant writing two letters, one to the In- dian Department at Washington, and the other to the successor of Mr. De Puy, acc the latter of two vouchers in his capacity Indian agent 4 ay for the plaintif, and Messrs, min T.

In April, 1861, jaintif had been appointed agent to the Pawnecs. In jay, 1862, he was removed from that office and applied for @ reappointment tothe President. This reappoint. ment was promised lim, and the Secretary of the In- terior wrote a letter stating that the reappointment was & matter of justice. Just at this time tho first letter of defendants was transmitted to Washington, pre- venting the proposed reappointment, While acting as Agent of Indian Affairs Mr. De Pay had spent all his means, and those letiers had prevented the settlement of hig accounts, and did so up to the presentday. He was treated as adefaniter by the governmont, and brought to astate of destitution. The point to which plaintiff had been sent as agent was in Nebraska Territory, about one hundred and twenty miles from Omaha, a reserya- tion for the Pawnecs, The government had for a period of fifty years treated the Indians with reat kindness, Agents were appointed to protect their rizhts and secure thom against the imposition of white traders and o(hers, When the warcommenced the government was partic larly anxious to keep at peace with all the Indian tribes, and Mr. De Pay was sent to the Pewneos with special in- structions to this effect. Re discharged his duties with faithfulness and fidelity, The ites to these In- dians {rom the government were divided up fn different funda, The yearly annuity to the Pawnece amonnted to $40,000— $21,000 was appropriated for the current ex- ponses of the’ ngency, Plaintiff drew two quarterly pay ments, about $10,000. This latter amount wasdotained a. long Ume after it was due, owing to the animosity ot Mr. Dole, the Indiaw Commissioner, to the plaintiff. ‘The first half yearly payment of twenty thousand dollara was paid, the second being alawheld back for some tim The Indians were in it destitution in congequen being in want of food and other necessaries of life, tureatencd war unless thelr demands were complicd with.

Those were the vouchers which Mr. Do Puy was eb with forging. He (Mr. Cutler} believed tl the Tge of jorgery was made by the collusion of Mr, Dole, the Com- missioner on Indian Affairs, with the defendanta, be- cause Mr. De Puy would not aid them in a scheme they bed in training of robbing the fndians, Mr. Cutler then concluded i eloquently on the damage which had been plaintift’s character by the writing of thone letters, and stigmatized the conduct of Mr. Dole in terms. severe Mr. De Puy was then placed upon the stand, wh tifled that he had made correct pion of the letie question, which he read as follows: — apprtehng om for a portion of the Agency.
