10 THE STATE CAPITAL. Overhauling the Weehawken Ferry Company. A Private Company for the Management of the City Markets. Noveresting Bill for Savings Banks 7nd their Depositors. ALBANY, Feb. 98, 1870, ‘The Areopagus of oratory—as John & -oygham, in @aspeech the other evening, termed We Capitol—is decidedly dull to-day. Tne “pote, grave and reverend seigniors” of the Senate” ,aying adjourned over till to-morrow morning % re not here. The ‘Kings, queens, princes and *'s¥ ,a\) fry? of the lobby have not yet returned, and #’,e Assembly Ohamber *ooks comparatively deser 4. Mr. George W.

Mr. Plunkett has moved +a@ the matter, and to-day offered a resolution direct- ng the Committee on Commerce and Navigation to Anvesligate and report a thorough statement of the eondiavn of the ferry and what course shuuld be adopted to render it serviceable. A GASSY KESOLUTION Was introduced today by Mr. Heonessey, of New York. Mr. Hennessey has noted with deep concern the fact that the gas companies in New York do not supply good gas and that they charge too muci for what they do furnish; that tnose corporations are bad (in. point of fact) corporations, and we cerporahon of New York % more able to do the work; therefore he wished the Leg- wlature to resolve that the Committee on Olties should inguire into tue propriety and feasibil- ity of revokimg the charters of the companies and entrusiing ine suppiy Of gas (oO one of the depart ments of the cy government, and should report ‘within two weeks. ‘I'bis might have offered a good opportunity for tne gas companies to show bow thcy could defeat the good intentions of Mr, Hennessey hud not the resolution been tabled and the qualms of Mr, Heoneasey’s conscience thus ellectually wquelched, “HANK”? SMITHS CASE came up to-day in regular order, but nobody moved Ms passage, whereupon Mr, Peter Mitchell moved to reeummit the matier to ine Committee: on Cities, and the case was thus disposed ol. Not content with “going for” the Market Superin- vendept on paturday Jast, Assembly to-day ordered to ics third reading the bill incorporating a MANHATTAN MARKET COMPANY, which shal have power to purcnase, bold and con- vey real estuce withia the limits of the city and erect docks, bulidings and otuer improvements for the purposes of public markets. ‘Ihis bill may be re- @Arded as the entering wedge for the ulterior pur- Dore of taking away from tue city goveruiient the contra! of tie warkets, for which, perhaps, uot very wany would grieve, A NUT ¥OR MORRISANIA FOLK to crack 18 contained in the bill ot Senator Cala- well, wiich to-day passed to ita third reading in we Assembly.

Whule tue insurauce companies are being over- hauled by the Committee on insurance THE SAVINGS BANKS will be shown how they may benefit the State to a g@reatextent. Mr. W. D. Murphy, of Albany, has in- troduced a bill which will meci, no doubt, with much lavor. Jt provides that the savings banks and rusti- Vutions throughout the State snail trausier one-ualt of their eurpius fund to the State Treasurer. it ap- pears that there are now in the possession of the insurance companies some $12,000,000 of surplus. ‘The tuverest on te portidn to be trans- ferred vo Lae State 1p accordaace wilh the provisions of the bill, 118 intimated, will give aliest $500,000 annually, Which it 18 proposed to devote to the com- pletion of tbe new Capitol building, and after the competion of the Capitol the revenue trom the fund to go to the school fund. ‘The bull turtuer provides that deposits which have peen uncaimed tor ten years shall be transferred to the State Treasurer 4m trust for the depostiors, snd it also provides for a reduction of we surpius from tea per cent to five per cent, The penaity for neglect or refusai on the part of the institutions to comply with this act 18 made the {crfeiwure of the charter, und Mf the State Trea- wurer bave reason to believe that any imstitation Is suirking, be has ihe power granted him to appomt au expert to examine the accounts, THE GAME MAN ol the House is Mr. Winaus, of Chautauqua, and, as 4 8 said. be bears that reputation deservedly, The various pils on the game subject which have been resented to the Louse have been referred to hun tue parpose of codificaiuou.

A STROKE IN FINANCE. The Noterious McDonald at His Old Tricks— A “Kanuck” Victimized=The Hawks of the Metropolis=A Bad Bird Bagged. ‘The particulars of another shrewd attempt at ‘swindling were brought to light yesterday at the Filth precinct station house, in which the notorious: Patrick MeDonald figured in an attempt at cheat ing & uewiy arrived stranger 10 a manner similar to many of bia former swindles, Early yesterday morning Francis Tnbouls and Joseph Beaudry arrived: in this city from San Frao- cisco by the steamer Henry Chauncey. Both men are Canadians and were en route to Montreal. On their way along pier No, 42 they were met by a man who offered to take them to a Ucket office at No, 498 Washington street, where they woula be able to obtain tickets ior Montreal, The wen went to the office, which proved to be that of Patrick McDonald, aud purchased their tickets, While in the oftice Thiboult informed the man McDonald that Beaudry had im his posses- sion a drait payable to his (Beauary’s) order for 2,500 In gold payable at the Baak of North America. McDonald at once undertook to assist Beauary in obtaining his money, and tovk him to some oMce in Broadway (which Beaudry cannot 1o- cate) where the pardes at the counter rejused to cash the draft. McDonald then took the stranger into a saloon, and taking @ pen and Ink, asked bin wo place his Mame at the back of his draft, and as Beaudry could not write he allowed him vw make his mark, and himself made the signature. The man Was then taken by his guiae to another oroker's oMce, McDonald leaving him on the sidewalk while he went in. When McDonaid came out o1 the oilice he stated to Beaudry that ne could not have bis mo- ney until half-past three o’clock or four o'clock, and, leaving the draft in the oMce, took his intended vicum to a iiquor sivre at ‘the corner of Canal and Greenwich streets. After waiting in this place some time McDonald stated that he must go to dinner, aud requested the two inen to waitin the saloon until he came back. Beaudry waited some time,*hnd finally becoming suspicious he found an oficer of the Futh precinct, to whom he related the circumstances of his case, and from whom he re- ceived aivice to proceed to the Leonard street station. and tere reiate his story. Beaudry went there and gave a deseription of the man who had taken his drait, aad Captain Petty at ouce instrucied officer ticld to arrest Patrick MecDonaid and a man named ‘eddy Harrigon. Atter searching for his men for some little time the officer finally arrested them as they were coming out of the before mentioned saloon, at we corner of Greenwich and Canal streets. McDonaid resisted the efforts of the oilicer to arrest him, but was finally overcome and marched to the ssation house. At this place he was searched and on his person was found a bag containing $1,6c0 tn five aud tweuty dollar gold pieces, and aiso a paper writven im Euclish and jn French, uped with postage stamps and ready for signature, This document, whica was really a bill of fale of the draft for $1,500, no doubt was to have been signed by Beaudry; and McDonald, it as gad, Stated to him (Beaudry) that as paywent of the draft had once been denied its real value was not mere than that amount. The document reads as fellows: Frnrvany 28, 1870. Thi is to acknowledge and show that [ have sold and de- livered to P.

The residents of Ward’s Island aid net believe in authority in the idea that men should work; they thought st essentially vul- gar, i So there was talk on Ward's Is!and—wild, inflam- matory, eloquent, indignant taik. Ic was oratory second only to our fathers of the Revolution, and but Mie inferior to the grand periods of Sanders? Spelier or the sublime perorations of a Sixth ward statesman. They were making bistory. It wasto be cali deliberation; 1t was to be an appeal for jas- tice, @ patriotic revolt, a glorious victory, a Sadowa or an Austerlitz, amd then the peace of Europe, What, then, was THE SALINE PILL? ‘Mr. Wells, the superintendent, said unto the peo- ple that they must work. Such was the order of his superiors. Now, was tnis’ just or unjust? Ward’s iIgiand is a refuge ior emigrants, who, accordmg to the laws of New York, have a right to its privilegea, which are— to be quartered where, to be fea, to be cared for when sick, to be clothed when naked; and the funds to support it are derived from the $2 50 per capita upon all passengers who land at the docks of New York, and every man is entitled to tuese benc- fits, if he be an emigrant, for five years, provided always he obeys the regulations, does not subvert tne discipline or impatr the effictency of the internal Police, Mr, Wells, the commandant of the post, as ordered, set the thousands of hands on the island on the highway of industry. He wished them to haul stone, to grade tne roads aud variously exercise their Manual selves, By such an innocent desire Mr. Weila provoked the hosiility of Mr. William Milton, a gen‘leman enjoying the hospicatity of the island. Mr. Milton determined wo be an opposer of tyranny, to fly from the ‘Paradise Lost’? to secure the “Paradise Regained.’ His antecedents, relavea by himself, it is said, repre- sent Him as gevera: pianes above the loftiest fights of the human intellect, Milton, at any rate, was & leader at Ward’s Isiand. He talked up the despot ism of Mr, Wells, he wrote to the newspapers, ME ORGANIZED HI3 ARMY, HE CONVENSD HIS POL- 4 LOWERS and roused them by hts patent magnetism. The Gespisers of unpaid industry were not slow to bar- ness thelr tongues, and, once in the traces, how they galioped! One would dash down che avenas of indignation; another, lashed to fever heat by the acourge of madness, made rapid pace along the ighway of violence; another leaped 2:40 in touming wrath over the mountains and vai.

Wells, sail be held responsible for any violence that may ensue. Tins declaration of independence, like unto that of the thro.tied colonies, Was borne to the kKing—Mr. Wells. He was resvived on vigorous measures; for Uns Was & deciarauon of war. He tinkled his belt. Tne drawer vf the resolution, the ‘mute, ingiorious Mulion,” waa sent for.

Mr. Wells wag quiet; in his hydro. caveras still waters ran deep. ‘i‘he immortal three were placed in con- fluement, and the cloud ascended from mr, Wells’ brow and rose skyward. At mine o'clock yesterday morning the glorious aimy of freedom determined to move on the great building of the commandant, overiooging the Kast river, just opposite 10th street, They weut there 250 strong and made the demaad. But ix men, ia- cluding Mr. Weils, were on hand to coniront the:n, Mr. Wells and his subordinates armed with revul- vers and ciuos. Toe patriot army began to move, Mr. Wells tarried. He secretly sent \tord for ine poiice for ald. Procrastination enraged tne patriots, ‘they marched fur the office door. General Wells met them with clubs and revolvers. He determined Vo fight at all nazards, ‘Tne patriots were provided with clubs, fence rails and andirons. Whiue the pa- trtot army deliberated the POLICE CAME IN SIGUT, under the command of Fie!d Sergeant Barrett, The patriot army became the panic-stricken army. Worse thaa whea the reserves hauied up on the field of Bull run did the veteran warriors fly. Gen.ral Wels went around his building ana cut off their rear.
