THE STATE CAPITAL. The Young Braves and the Old Warriors ja Deadly Conflict. Heavy Skirmishing in the Senate Yesterday. A Hew York Senator Denouncing the Rottenness of Elecfons in the Metropolis. CAUCUS OF THE NEW YORK DELEGATIONS, a ae ? The Chiefs (Decide to Bury the Hatchet, aud Adjourn to Drink Fire Water with Sachem Twee . ALBANY, March 24, 1870, ‘When the cohorts of the ‘young democracy” re- tired from the Assembly Chamber on ‘ruesday after- noon, carrying with them on three biers, decorated ‘with mourning emblems, the headless corpses of the Police Commissioners? bill, the Supervisors? vill and the Purser Charter, their funeral trumpets blasied forth more the vengeance of the Gael than the Dead Marep in Saul, while tueir mu‘Mled drums rolled out the mauticred thunders of a terrible coming storm. THS VUNERAL MARCA, as you know, was directed to the room of the ele- gant, the white-cravattea Bean Brammetl of the street Department, George W. McLean, On the old principle of the Mosaic law, which claims an eye ‘for an eye and a tooth for @ woth, the army of the young democracy demanded @ head fora itead., {ndeed, in this case they required many heads for the three they had lost, because if Mepaty Strest Commissioner Tweed tg decapitated the basket bas not been yet made Jarge enough to hold ai! the beads of his followers, who must go to the guillotine in his train, But the ery of “DEATH TO TWEED!? may not find an echo outside the ranks of the young democracy, There is a terrible war in the engine ef the “Big Sixes” when it comes thundering into action, Its wheels are heavy, aud (he men who ran the machive ave—like Briarens of old—hundred hauded, 'Tgcre will be a fignt, and Tweed says that PRE FIGHT 18 FAIRLY BEGUN. While the Senator consente3, upon certain terms, vo resign his position in the Street Department, he gays that he expected McLaan to observe those ‘terms; but, finding that he vioiated his promises (as Tweed says), the Seuator now re{usos to resign, and 80 announces his deterafmation in a published card Uf he is to jose bis position im the Sireet Department itmust be dupe by removal, and he is wiilingto leave the responsibility with his enemies, who, he ways, are HUNTING TIM DOWN, and not-only hiuself, but all his iriends. He cannot, write a letter to a irend—say iWank Smith, for Instance—that 16 is no} misinterpreved and the mo- tive misrepresented. Tweed indignantly onjoots to this kind of warfare and revulis from this system o SII! The Grand Sachetu declares nimscif ready for a good, square, honest fight, and with this tntention he ig smoothing out his feathers, shaking the wrinkles out of his blanket, looking up his pots of paintand SHARPENING HIS TOMAHAWK tothe fnest edge; also his scalping knife, for he swears that his Tammany wigwam siail be decorated with the tops of a great many people's leads before @ dozen moons have come and gone. THE BATTLE, therefore, is only beginning, aud it will be emotitered by the acrimonious feeling arising on all sidea from the conviction in the minds of all the members of the democratic factions that the graud old Gemo- oratic army which entered the fleld of what might fairly be expected o field of ungnalited vie tory, with banners ‘lying, and wooing the smiles of heaven's sunshine, retired wilh these ban- ners draggling in the mire, tattered ana disgraced, Decause not only of defection aud treachery in the Tanks, but because imputations of bribery and corruption rest heavily upon some of its members, Where the responsivility rests for the basis of these charges it is not for me to say, but itis not denied that the battle was won more by the tactics of Phitip of Macedon, against which Demosttenes en- velghed, than by the steel of the warriors engaged. GREAT GLOOM AND DISCONTENT prevails among all the democrats at the future prospects of Ute party, Many declare that the fail election is already decided, and that a democratic Governor will not sit In the executive chair of 1871. The Tweed and McLean fight, and the sturdy attt- tude the Grand Sacoem has assumed, are the only things which enjiven the surface of affairs.

Durmg this harangue there was a@ remarkable silence m the Chamer, although the crowas flocked in from the lobbies and anterooms.

Ho received the fatal woodaxe document with good grace, and avowed his deter- mination never to hold public office again, but to devote himself to ia friends. His rooms to-night are pesieged by politicians fram the city and coun- try, and sympathy seems to be largely with him iu his discomfiture, He saccepta the order trom his commander, “Never more be ofiicer of mine,’ and says that now he will be officer at large for the city and will make things hot, mr. Tweed Says he will have a charter for New York ready next week, which will be satisfactory to all honest men of all parties, and which will reduce taxation in the metropolis hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum. CAUCUS OF THE NEW YORK DELEGATES. Tue New York delegation held a caucus to-night im the dining room of the Delavan, at which all the representatives Irom both Houses of the Assembly except Tivéed, Freat, Buns And Owen Murpny were prosent, After afi hour or so of dehatea committee comprising Genet and gitchman called at Mr. Tweed'’s room and requested the pres- ence of the gentleman above named at the caucus, Agrceably to this invitation Mr, Tweed and a sinall delegation of his friends visited the caucus, but up to this hour it Is hard to say whether the compromise they have met to bring about Js ac- complished. The object is understood to be to effect a settlement of the present diMcul- ties, if that is possible. Although nothing ofan official nature has been aseertained regard- ing the proceedings, 16 ig nevertheless re- ported that the delegation resolved to call a general caucus Of all the democratic members of the Legis- lature and bind every man to vote for every bill agreed upon, on pain of beimg brandea asa traitor to his party.

Arrest of the Fugitive Collector's Confidential Clerk—Why He Was Arrested aud How—Hin Statement. As any additional information bearing even re- motely on the defalcation and sudden disappearance of ex-Collector Bailey must at this time be eagerly sought after by the public, the following particulars of the arrest of his confidential clerk, together with the atatement ot that party, will be found interesting. Through whe courtesy of Warden Tracy, @ HERALD reporter obtained an interview last evening with F. J.C, Koop, who was lately the “right-hand man” of the missing Collector, but is nowfenjoying the hos. Ppitalities of Ludlow street jail, Koop, who is of German extraction, florid complexion and gentie- manly address, was quite communicative and en- deavored to impress his interrogator with tne be- ef that he possessed no information regarding the Aight of his chief, which he desired to conceal. STALEMENT OF KOOP, ‘Tne late confidential clerk to Bailey says that he jeft the city and proceeded to Albany on oficial bust- ness, by direction of Comtissiouer Delano, on the same day (Tuesday) that the ex-Collector disap- peared, After transacting his affairs there he re- turned to the city iast Friday morning, and on en- tering the Collector's office was informed of Batley’s fight. He found a letter in the office addressed to nim (Koop) enclosing @ check lor $1,100 from the ex-Col- Jector so oN payment for funds loaned by him to Batley. Having presented this check at the bank on which it was drawn he was informed by the cashier that Batley did not have that amount remaining to, bis credit, aud it was with difficulty he obtained $626. He then, in order to secure the balance of the check, was compelled to “A borrow make be from mis friends and with a leposit = before he cond draw the remainder; this he did, not before, however (as he avers), mforming the bank oficers of what le had heard at the office regarding Batley’s disappearance, Koop says that although he resigned hig position on hearing of Batley’s Mgnt, he promised Supervisor Dutcher that be would cail at the office dally to assist in the investigation of the ex-Collector’sgac- counts; and thia promise, 1t appears, he kept until arrested there this morning by a deputy sheriff, THE CAUSE OF HIS ARREST, According to Koop’s statement, it appears that during the month ot January last, walle acting un- dev a search wartant issued by a United States commissioner, he went tothe store of Jobn Tracy & Oo., liquor dealers in Pearl street, for the purpose of examining the books of that firm; that these lat- ter were locked in the safe, which the proprietors re{used fo open, when he, in his ortictal capacity, cansed the safe to be torced open and took posses- fion Of the books. the complaint of that firm his arrest was cal , and his subsequent com- mitsal to answer In defauit of $10,000 bar), AMUSEMENTS. Boorn’s THEATRE.— “THE Lavy oF Lyons. Last night was @ species of test night at Booth’s, it was well Known throughout the community that Fechter had given his idea of Claude Meinotte in Brooklyn only two nights ago. It was as well known that Fechter’s Claude, in spite of many faults, had proved @ great success, The announcement that Booth would appear im that rove last night no doubt helped to crowd a house which 1s always well filled, It was, indeed, a magnificent hoase. To say that the “Ledy of Lyons’? was well put upon the stage would only be to say that it was put upon the stage as every other ptece is at this temple of the Muser, All the parts were well filled.

De Bar does weil, but Leciercg does better, Claude Melnotte was not last night a very brilliant character. He was sadly wauting in ail the essential elements which make up Bulwer’s hero. We never saw Claude except in his sorrow. We saw all the time she melancholy Dane. It almost seemed as if Booth’s features were fixed bya too excessive and protracted effort to be a genuine Hamlet, which, undonbtedly he is, Last night we Watched him Closely, but we never saw him smile.

THE LATUST STYLES. The Chameleon Goddess Arrayed in Silks and Satins. AND DRESS GOODS BONNET ‘The votaries of fashion could scarcely wish for More favorable weather than tnat which smtied on them yesterday—the eventful occasion on which a large Proportion of the modistes revealed for the rat time tbls season the spring and summer styles ordained by thelr fickle mistress for the coming season. Opening day isa rather mythical period at all times, as some of the leading houses suit their own conventence; and there 18 hardly a day from Uhts til the middle of April on which there Is not some spectal exhibition of fashions, and in some instances tuia exhibition 18 entirely dispensed with, Still @ large proportion of the modistes seemed by tacit consent to select yesterday asthe general opening festival, and consequently the stores were crowded with fashionably dressed ladies, ali eager to inspect the wonders promised them by the hig priestesses of fashion, The latter were arrayed in the richest robes and most extravagant trains, and moved about with the air of condescension and dig- nity becoming their station on sucha momentous occasion, ‘There is not much change or absolute noveity in the uew- styles, Bonnets are regaining their lost populartty, a) dare also increasing in size. White chip 18 muck sopght after, and dowers form a con- siderable part of the trimmings. The gipsy shape is im general favor, and threatens to replace the fanchon. The diadem 13 higher than ever, and all have capes. The cottage bonnet is another novelty, aud on some faces it has a charming appearance. This shape admits of tnaide trimming and the indispensable fowers Gecorate the diadem and crown. Lace has passed out of general use as material for bonnets, ana 1s replaced by crépe de chene and straw of all kinds. Notwithsianding the growing popularity of bonnes there 1s much to be admired in the round hats of the period, Their crowns are higher than ever, in some instances having a brigand appearance. The brims are also very broad, and not turned up ag much as before. For trimming many of them haye @ wreath of flowers en- circling the crown and trailing down on the shoulder of the wearer. Suits have not undergoue much change, unless in regard to still more elavo- rate trimming of the same material as the garment itself. Uniformity of color is perceptible tn all the new toilets, Some pretiy contrasts of black and white, however, are in vogue and will be much Worn this spring. The material for suits 18 mostiy confined still to silks of all Kinds, even to smail checked and striped specimens of silk. Nankeen, foulard piqae und white Swiss will be also popular thig season. For evening tollets lace seems to oc- cupy an Important place, With two shawls of this maferial—black and white—a lady can arrange a dozen different toilets, As for the styles of evening dresses their name ts legion, Hardly two are alike, and they depend mostly on the taste of the wearers, Notuing looks more graceful than alace or cash- mee shawl, draped over a trained dress, and @ single equare shawl may serve ae oa tanic fichu over a short dress, but tn every case uniformity of color 18 the rule, Short, loose wacks and Batlor Jackets are already out, and with young girls they are sure to be favorites. Amoug the bewildering array of bousets and dress mate- rials on exhibition we noticed the following:— Mine. Kallings had a very handsome white organ- die robe, with three futings and purfings of the same material as tue underskirt, Tne overdress was of pale bine silk trimmed with organdie and lace and dee; chemiile fringe to matcb. The panter was fasten with bows on each side, and tie waist was of or- gandie and Valenciennes lace. <Anotuer evening robe was a white grenadine, flounced to the waist. White silk, grenadine and’ black velvet were curl- ously Interwoven in the underskirt. A large bunch of velvet poppies decorated the panier, A third robe was @ striped silk, Consisting Of alternate vars of light end durk dahlia, with a Louis Quinze jacket over the old fashioned vest. The jacket laps over, like a gentleman's coat, and has the deep square pockets aud other characteristics desig- mated by its pame, The overskirt of dark dahua formed @ train and 4 sort of winged pannier, very richly fringed, completed this stylish dress. Another novelty Was @ black grenadine wimmed with lancy straw. _ O'Sullivan & Grelg had a large variety and assort- thent of dress materials, Aimoug them we noticed @ very durable French stutf called De Belge; also silks, foulards, grenadines aud monairs of every de- scription. Plain grays and drabs are very suitable for travelling or the seaside. White piques will ve more popular than ever this summer. Piain colors seem to be entirely en regle, There were some very gay and handsome break- fast jackets at this honse, embroidered in every pos- sible pattern; @igo balcony or carriage wraps of zephyr worsted. One had silk and gold faterwoven in the first mentioned material, and was trimmed with swansdowan, ‘There was quite an assortment of cloth walking jackets and sacks, in scarlet and mixed colors, The costumes were of the most distingus Bind. One—a black silk one—had a velvet vest, with Flizabethaa collar and flowing sleeve, with thread lace trimming. A very deep overskirt almost hid the rammed underdreas. Another suit seemcd to be com- posed of a series of ruchings, hardly & portion of we Material being made up piatn.
