10 "THE STATE CAPITAL. Interesting Projects Before the Legislature. Excise, Canal and Railroad Matters—The Second Ayenue Railroad Extension— The Long Island and Staten Island Bridges—Probabfll- thes of a Busy Week, : ALBaNy, March 6, 1870. ‘While the migity Solons are at their homes rest- ing from their labors of the past week and recruit ‘wg for the purpose of entering well primed onthe ‘week tocome it may be deemed of interest to re- count afew of the mighty projects which are of in- terest to the taxpayers of the metropolis and the ‘Btate, and for the beneflt in many instances of the Capital of the disinterested gentlemen who, for THREE DOLLARS A DAY, are willing to forsake other pursuits and attend simply to the making of just and equitable laws for the people of the Empire State. That many ot them @o attend simply i#, indeed, a fact: for there are Bere several of the most sinple-looking legislators ‘mat one could possibly meet with 1%. Among those “who think themselves very smart are a few SHYSTER DEMOCRATS, ‘who seem to imagine that they were sent to Albany “only for the purpose of making themselves rich, and are, therefore, ever reaay vo support any measure, either democratic or republican, in which they think there is @ bone worth picking. Some of these fel- dows have been SHOWING THEIR SPOTS for some time past; but, during the past week, their status, or, rather, their want of status, as been fully developed. They care not for questions of State; they cannot comprehend the importance of maintainmg the integrity of their party, but foolishly imagine that because of the ‘division in regard to the control among the New York county members they hold the balance of power and must have a pull at the heaviest limb of tne democratic plum tree, so as to prevent them going over the fence and picking their fruit on the republican side. Tne ‘piu’? business this session has not, thus far, been very extensive, There have been two or three questions before the Legislature which were maue PARTY MBASURES, for the passage of wich tie full democratic vote Was needed, a3 the republicans were expected to Vote solidly on the gther side, Toe republicans did Vote as solidly as Was expected they would on each Of those questions, but ou oue only did the demo- rats vote as a umit, This question wus that abolish- ing the ofice of Superintendent of the Sait Springs, Against which “OLD SALT” ALVORD tought with all his might, but which was passed by a strict parly yote only afier a call o! the House. On this question the black sheep did not ‘*kick.”” There was pothing to be made pecuniarily in this, and it was probable that by a change in the government of the salt springs the democrauc streagth in that quarter ‘could be preserved. Then there was THE EXCISE LAW, which was fought through the Senate, despite the Jukewarmness of two of the democratic Senators, and was put through the Committee of the Whole in ‘the Assembly on a forced march on Wednesday even- ‘ng iast. This question some of the countrymen can not be made to regard as a strict party question. They “never can come back here again,” they sy if they vote for this measure. ‘They belong in.portions of the State in which there are DRY WATER PHILOSOPHERS, who cannot appreciate the imposition and oppres- _ fon which the present Excise law bas been on New York apd Kings counties, In the commitvee, on Wednesday night, the vill was fougnt line by line and almost word py word. Alvord de- Mivered @ trade against licensing any sort of business. Selkreg, of Tompkins, delivered a Jengthy vemperance lecture, while others, including such democrats as Pease, offered amend ment alter amendment and attempted in every possible way to clog legislation. Mr. Kieruan, from New York, who, by the way, never drank a glass of liquor in lus liie, made an able speech in benaif of the pill, as veing a@rawn in response to an appeal trom over 100,000 ‘voters of New York and Kings counties. The demo- orats wanted to force the bill througa, 80 as to give the Mayor of Troy time to appoint Commissioners of Excise in the city beiore he should retire, but tue dry water local politicians who voted with tue re- pubiicans have forced the question back to the Com- mitteg on the Judiciary for amendment, It is now somewhat doupiful whether any excise bill wili be adopted. ‘Those who voted the democratic ticket in hopes that a democratic State goveru- ment would speedily repeal tne Excise law now in force fiud themselves in a strange predicament. Democratic majorities in both houses bave been secured, yet tue perfect repeal has not yet come. Should the matter be defeated in we Assembly what will the liquor dealers’ interest do? They cannot voie the republican Ucket, as the repub- dicans here ali vote “dead against” any repeal of ine present law; they cannot vote for the democrats, fs they will have neglected to fulfil the pledges they have made. What, Lien, will the poor Jiquor dealers do? Watch and wait. The excise question will be returned in a few days irom the Judiciary Com- mulitee and then the si democrats, Who DO NOT “GO TO THE PRONT? im support of the measure, will be noted, and on them will be laid the pariy lash until they are driven out of the party, and they will then be written down as among the osiracised. And the measure on which the party strength must be developed is tuat in relation to the abolishing of the canal contract aystein. THE CANALS, opening, as they do, an avenue for the products of the iminense West, have been poorly, ay, miserably, managed under repubiican rule. If properly man- aged they can bring Wo the State a large revenue, ae to the dominant party an immense and power- ful army of heipers and workers, aid individual en- terprise in transporting the golden harvests of the West to the metropolis, and thus contribute ia a much greater degree, perhaps, tuan any other agent to make the State of New York 1m fact the Empire Stave of tne Union. By & more efficient manag ment of the canais, by having more liberal rates of wll, and by veg Kept in good repair, we canals of New York State would make New York city the de- pot of those hoards of wealth in grain, lamber aud other merchandise Which are Low carried to the sea- board by way of tne Mississipp! and the St. Law- rence. tis not ww be wondered at, therelore, that the fight to obtain contioi of the canais should be flerceiy urged by the Lycurguses here in the Senate and Assembly. The republicans wish to retain the hold they have got and ine democrats desire io take it trom them. Tue repubiicans flud now that the canal business Comes uader the head of commerce, and they waut Congress to hurry tne passage of tne cana) billintroduced by Mr. Bennett. It 18 not to be wondered at therefore that, when the bill abcilsh- ang the canal contract system was brougnt up as the special order in the Assembly on Friday last the venerable Alvord sould have desirea to have some thing tosay. He 18 as full of this question as he 1s Of Sait. Bamler, of Busfaio, had someubing to say, and he said something tn relation to MR, LITPLEJOUN’S SPEECH, which, he said, bad been heard 1 that honse some fifteen umes, in reply to whico allusion Afr, Littie- john, with a look of withering scorn toward the gen- teman from Erie, informed the House that he never took notice of paltry insinuations on small matters. In order that Mr. “Alvord might his say to House determined to postpone the matter and go WORKING ON THE CANAL. On Tuesday morning, as soon ag the Journal has been read, Mr. Alvord will deliver his sermon and then the House will pass the bill, unless Mr. Has- brouck, of Ulster, has been Induced to go with the contractors and bring his influential leopards with him. 1n which case the bill will pass anyhow, aud Hasbrouck & Co. be ailowed to retire from the de- mocratic army. But the members of both houses reat work in their several comuittees on ques- uo! f interest aud imporrance, enough to prolong the session far into May uniess wey ‘get on a full head of seam and put the matters througn more lively than they have been doing. Among the meas- ures now on hand is that in relation to tie SECOND AVENUE RAILROAD EXTENSION, by whica the Second Aveaue Railroad Company are guthorized to run thetr cars Gown Chatham street and through Onamobers street to Broadway, and another branch down the New Bowery to Peck sitp, Front street to Barling slip and around tn tront of Fulton ferry, mstead of stopping, a& ac present, in Peck slip and Compan Pe aes Wisiiig (0 go to Brooklyn to tradge down South street ana througn Fulton Market. The directors of tie road are | making pithetic appeals for the privilege; have a | petition—ever so many yards long, itis said—and | use the most ingenious and ingenuous arguments to | show that by beimg al wed We extensions above mained and by baving two tracks along Second | avenue agreal public becessity, and one Im which \ aii the residents up town east of ‘Third avenue are | sharers, Would be relieved. she !aea of Wns exten- | gion does not suit the Third Avenue Railroad vom- pany, and their Sancho Panza (Squire) has been here ‘endeavoring to explain to certam membel bow much injury Would be done bis road if the pray- era of the Second avenue people be granted. What will be the fate of the appeals caunot be devermined yet; but a8 there has been such a clamor tor ad- ditional faciities for uptown travel, aud as by allowing the Second avenve cars to have a terminus Bear the City Hall would be an extra accommoda- tion for a ‘at many, without considering any other orennenis that might be offered. it is prob- able that whe bill will p: Mr. Mitchell fas a bill vefore the Committee of tte House in rely ction to STREKT CAR ACCOMMODATIONS, which, if adopted, will have the effect of compeling the companies in’ New York to ran cars at shorter intervals, from five to ten A. M. and from three to seven P. M.; to have the seats partitioned off in the same Manner as the seats in the cabins of the ferry- boats, and to prohibit the conductor stopping the car to take on more passengers when the seats are ail engaged. ‘Tots bili will not pass, of course. The companies are too powerful and know by this time how to kill off anything that disagrees with ther ideas of Management. Questions of two BRIDGES OF SIZE are before the woriby statesmen here assembted. One o1 these bridges 18 planned to go from Seventy- minth stree: across to the Long Island shore, and the other from Staten Island to Ellis or Bedloe’s Island, and to be connected to New York by means of a ferry. ‘The tirst mentioned is @ feasibie project, but the Queens county foilka don’t want to pay anything toward starting it. They are willing enough to have it, and would no doubt pean much by it, and they are willing that New York shoula pay forit. ‘Tne subject was fought quite lively a few evenings since, but was fivally laa over for further considerauon. ‘The Staten Island bridge seems co be a somewhat crazy scheme and excites little or no comment, Although matters bere now are quiet, yet » cursory glance at what is expected will suow thas there is A BUSY TIME promised for the coming week. That remarkable charter is expected Lo come up to-morrow night and to be presented on Tuesday. The bill may be intro- duced in both houses at the same time, forthe par- pose of facilitating legislation. ‘Then the tax levy is oxpernen. tobe brought in, On Tuesday morning will come up again the canalers’ fgnt; and Ngan ther with the renewal of the faht on the schoo! railroad banking Uttie items defore tne various committees, will the boys somecting to do to earn their three di @ day Jor the remainder of the session. THE CANAL CONTRACT BILL. ‘fhe foliowing bill to abolish the Contracting Beard and the system of repairing the canals by contract has been mace the special order for consideration in the Assembly on Tuesday next. It was intro- duced in the Senate by Mr. Hardenbergh, referred to the Committee on Canals, reported favorably by @ majority of said committee, and committed to the Committee of the Waoole:— AN ACT to abolish the Contagcting Board and the system of repairing the by contract. Secuion one provides that all laws and parts of laws requirmg the letting and keeping the canals 1p repair by contract are aled, and the Con- tracting Board is abolished.

It 1s provided hy the fourth section that the con tractors who shall surrender their contracts, or ‘whose contracts shall be cancelled and annulled by the Canal Board under the eee of this act, s#ha}) not be entitled to demand or receive, and sali not be allowed for any prospective damages or any compensation for prospective or unearned protits, and shall be entitied to receive no compensation or damages except as provided by this act, Every contractor, the surrender of whose contract snall be accepted by the canal Board, and every co! traetor whose contract shall be cancelied and a) nulied by the Canal Board shall be entitied to receive the money deposited as a security for the perform- ance of his contract, with the accumuiated interest thereon, together with the money earned under such contract, and also for work, labor and services under the same for permanent improvements not heretofore provided for in this section as shall in the judgment of the commissioner in charge be equita- bie and just up to the time of the surrender or can- ceiling and aunulling thereof, and a full and fair compensation for the tools, materials and imple- ments necessarily procured for the purpose of per- forming such contract, and which shall be delivered to the cana! commussioner in charge Of tne division for the use of the State.

HONOLULU, Fen, 9, 101% The elections have caused some excitement in our community. The new Registry !aw has proved to be a perfect piece of bowch work, and much feeling has been engendered against the inspectors of elec- Uons for their refusal to qualify voters who were entitied to such qualitication, Two persons who were refused carried the matter before First Assocl- ate Hartwall, of the Supreme Court, who rendered decisions against the inspectors, much to the chagrin of our nigh officials. A decision against the government, couched in such decided terms as these were, Marks @ new era in our affairs, and Jeads us to hope better things of the Supreme Court. The main issue to be decided by tnis election 18 our jabor system; whether it be essentially free labor or the forced on bonded system under which our Obinese and Japanese coolies are held to Jabor. The independent news papers here have taken o stand against Saystem of coercion, while the government papers areforit, Under the old constitusion, with a Legis lature of two distinct branches, there is no room for doubt but that the government wonld be sorely de feated. As illustrative of what the “bonded” sys- tem is I quote irom articles which bave lately ap- peared:— Serfdom is a species of lat brought to pass by the eon- tracting of debt the debtor ag bist oF herself to service by written contract until the debt ts iquidsied.

He asks for further credit, which the planter is only too ready to fant in the shapo of slop-clothing at double the amount for which he could purchase for cash.

Athough the business ts said to be guarded by the Briush emigration laws, enough is known here to prove that british officials bave been blind upon Occasions. ome who advocate the coolie aystem in these islands are wont, ia defence of the system, to exclaim, ‘here cannot be much in the system that 4s bad, for some of the missionaries approve of 1t,’? ‘This ts undoubtedly true; but the cause of their sup- port is found in the fact that some are directly inter- ested tn plantations, while others are indirectly, because of moneys loaned to planters, or because thelr sons are employed upon plantations in some capacity, It is the inordinate love of money which 18 the root of this evil, as of all owners. An attempt was made by an old resident, recentiy in the employ of the United States, to mduce Aheong, the Chinese missionary, to go upon the coolie expedition, Aheong came here us a cooile and was grossly deceived as to the nature of the work expected of him and in otuer particulars, and consequently refuses to be employed a8 @ decoy to induee others to come.
