A guard met Rielle on bis way back, and after a faint resistance he was captured and taken to Fort Garry. Parties at St. Paul profess to have information that Rielle is still master of tue situation, and they discredit the above statement, which, however, is undoubtedly correct. The object of this coup d’etat is to hasten the accomplishment of the original de- signs of the half-breeds. They will petition the Canadian government first, and if unsuccessful will resort to annexation. Another special @espatch says that when Rielle was on his way back, about nine miles from Fort Garry, two armed men joined him and attempted to arrest him, but he drew a revolver and told them he would never be taken alive. Other citizens came up and stopped the fight, and the whole party went to Fort Garry.

Curtiss. Next came, amid a round of cheers, that of “The New Health Officer,” which hardly subsided when Dr. Carnochan arose to reply. His remarks were very brief, but pointed and pertinent, giving the city and State of New York the assurance of such gov- ernment of Quarantine as will promote the best tn- terests of ail. He said that the responsibility of the position was a vast one, but hé fully appreciated it, His conduct should be such as to merit endorsement, and such sanitary precautions should be used by bun as to protect tne health of the inetropolis, More, he would protect the commerce of the port and une sons of commerce, who the wide world turough advance the cause of humani'y and peace.

A Great Day for the Medical Profession—The Erie Railway Company Overhauled—The Fifteenth Amendment Rejected by the Assembly After a Sharp Debate. Among the bills ordered to a third reading in the Senate yesterday morning was the act authorizing the keepers of jails and overseers of the poor to give over the dead bodies of inmates to the local physt- clans for the advancement of the science of anatomy. The supplement to the charter of the Hudson County Hospital camo up on its final passage. Mr. Wolverton opposed it because the mo- nopoly Known as the Hudson County Medl- cal Society were not entrusted with the appointment of the physiclans. Tho biil vests this power in the board of regents specified in the charter. On motion of Mr. Little the bill was laid over till to-day, when tt will come up under a speciai order. The bill is a good one as it stands, but the Hudson County Medical Society desire to have the power of excluding all the physicians tn Jersey City and other parts of Hudson county who do not be- long to that society. Such a privilege to any class would be most unjust, and the bill 13 therefore cer- tain to pass without amendments. Tne bill incorporating the State Homeopathic Society was read a third time and passed. In the Assembiy a bill was introduced to incorpo- rate Eclectic the Surgical and Medical College of New Jersey, granting the rignt to tne thcorporators to build @ college in Hudson county with a capita of $60,000, and conferring ad to grant diplomas and conier the degree of M.

Winton, Reid and .Shiun as a special com- mittee on the Erie Railway. ‘THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Mf. PATTERSON, of Monthouth, irom the Com- mittee on Federal Relations, reported joint resolu- tions rejecting the fitteenth amendment. Mr. BONSALL said that the minority of the Com- mittee on Federal Relations hoped that an oppor- tunity would be granted to them to make a report, and hc made a motion to that effect. The House directed that the minority report should be printed with the majority report. Mr, PatrgRson then moved thatthe rules prohibit- ing a bill to be read twice on the same day be sus- pended in order to take up these resolutions on their second reading. Mr. BoNSALL hoped the resolution would not be taken up until the minority report be printed. ‘The House then, by &@ voie of 31 to 26, suspended the rules and the resolutions were taken upon their secynd reading. Mr. Wilson, of Essex, moved to strike out the word “reject” and insert “the resolu- tions are hereby ratified.” Mr. Wilson then pro- ceeaed to address the House in favor of the fifteenth amendment. He spoke at length, after which the amendment to the resolution was ‘ost by a vote of AMERICAN SHIPPING.

Mr. Patrerson said that In making these motions he wished tt to be distinctly understood thatthey were not intended in any manner to abridge the rights of the minority. He was always In favor of exvena- ing the greatest courtesy and latitude to the gentie- men of the minority, and he believed that was the feeling of the gentlemen of the same party as him- seif. The object was simply to get the resolutions forwarded, so that they might come upon their final passage. ‘The SPEAKER then stated that the bill would be engrossed, so a8 to come up for final action in tue afternoon. The motion to suspend the rules was then put and carried. In the alternoon Mr. BONSALL, from the minority of the Committee on Federal Kelations, presented a report favoring the extension of suffrage to a large bbe ge of cluzens, And in order that the bless- gu of liberty may be secured “without distinction of race, color or previous servitude,’ they recom- mend the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to to the constitution of the United States, The order of the day being the tifteenth amend- ment, the resolution relating to tt was taken up on its third reading, Mr. Clark, o1 Sussex, occupying the chair. Mr. ABBRIT (the Speaker) addressed the House in reply to the speech delivered vy Mr. Wil- son, His reply was directed against the points which had been advanced by Mr. Wilson, and he concluded by saying that one of the greatest objec- tions against the bill was that it was an interlerence with the rights of the State. Mr. SANXEY (rep.) made a strong speech, in which he charged the democratic party with being the abettors of the late rebeliion and the preseut ene- mies of Itberty and universal sulirage. He reviewed Govervor Randolph's message and sald that it re- vived the old proscriptive doctrines of Know Nothingism. The vote was then taken and the amendment rejected by wu vote of 32 to 27, and the resolutions were sent to the senate {or its concur- rence therein. ‘The following is the resolution as printed : Joint resolution rejecting the amendment to the constitution ‘of the United States, 1.

ALBANY, Feb..1, 1870, ‘The long anticipated charter for our new city gov- ernment is fully complete and will be introduced in the Assembly to-morrow by Alexander Krear, In So far as all that was perplexing with regara to the Various republican commissions is concerned the document is perfect, and covers the whole ground in one instrument, including the Metropolitan Police Commission, the Health Board, Fire Department and all the subordinate branches of the municipal government. Nothing, however, which is regardea as good in the operation of the commis- sions 1s touched, but all that does not recognize the right of the people of New York city to govern them- selves upon well established municipal principles will be swept away should the new charter become alaw. Weuust expect many amendments during the process of legimation, but | wave reason to believe, from the generat feeling of the demo- crats in the Legislature that it will undergo no very material change. As to what individual or how many individuals may have drawn up this instrument which 18.to shape our city government forsome time to come makes very little difference. It ig the result of the joint wisdom of the Tammany leaders, It is here to-night in printed form ready for presentation to-morrow.

It must not be supposed that becauge the Governor received the committee of the Democratic Union organization with lus usual courtesy, who waited on him in the Foley interest, and admitted his willingness to see the whole matter go into the courts, where it belongs, that he has the least ides of interfering with any legislative pro- ceedings pen@ing in the case, or that in the present Phage of the case he can “or will interfere with it at all, When the bill now before the Legislature to legalize the election of Henry Smith comes before him tt Will be time for the Governor to act upon it, and that, of course, no one understands beter than Governor Hoffman himself. That he should advise the Attorney General to give an opportunity for any litigant to try his case in the courts is no more than bis duty, and he will probably, if appealed to, do go in this case. As to his own legal views, or his oMcial, these are questions which with him do not enter into the controversy, His position is entirely impartial. Dir. Foley had an interview with the Governor to-day, who, advised him to call on Attor- ney General Champlain and again endeavor to obtain a quo warranto writ. Mr. Foley did so, and the Attorney General, while de- claring that he nad only withheld action because of the bill pending, indicated that if he thought the Legislature would not regard it a3 discourteous he would comply with the request, In the afternoon a committee of democratic members of both Houses of the Legislature called upon Mr. Champlain and the result of the interview was that tne Attorney General agreed to allow the writ and promised to have the necessary papers made out at ouce.

The special order for this morning in the Senate was the very important resolution introduced by Senator Hardenbergh some days ago, providing that no further lettings Bhould be made on the canals of the State until the money was appropriated for such purpose, The object 1s to relieve the Commissioners from the necessity of acting upon the advertisements that make to-inorrow the day upon which to make the awards for the Chenango Canal extension, Senator Chapman, who Is by reason of his locality the champion of this particular impravement, made some very forcible remarks against the resolution, and took particular objection to the portion of the resolution which obliged that money to “‘compiete” the proposed rnprovements snould be made before any lettings were made. And in endeavoring to show the fault in Senator Hardenbergh’s resoiution, introduced an amendment that money should be appropriated. to complete te Willard Insane As#ium, the Poughkeepsie Asylum and the other works now receiving assistance irom the State, before any Tur- ther assistance should be given to such works. Senator Hardenbergh justly complained that this ameudment was offered for the Ege eye Of Kall Lay the resolution, or to pub i off until tue lettings of to-morrow were made.
