UB STATE CAPITAL, Last Day’s Session of the Logis- . lature of 1870. Gubernatorial Veto of All the Bills Granting State Aid to Bailroads. Passage of the Arcade Railway Bill in the Assembly. Report of the Committee on tho ‘Weehawken Ferry Nuisance. The Eight Hour Law Signed and Its Enforcement Ordered. ALBANY, April 26, 1870. Mark Antony sald, “I come to bury Oesar; not to Praise him!” We come to-day to bury the Legisia- ture of 1870, but we can hardly say that we have not something also to praise, Qutof the turmoll and confusion of four months’ labor, the jostle and tumble of all kinds of bills which have been tossing about in the whirlpool of political agitation, we have got a good programme of government for our city, for which the people ought to be thankful; and this, if it stood alone, is one good thing for which the memory of the deceased Legislature deserve some praise. (Por this we lay an ¢mmortelle upon Its coMn, mate up in an elaborate design, comprising the arms of the city of New York, with the motto, Redeemed from the dangers of youth and indiscretion !’ surrownd- the wreath, er LIKE THE SWAN, the House was musical to-day in us dying moments, The music of eloquence and wit was calied out by the vetoes of the Governor on the seven State Ald Railroad bills, commencing with the Adirondack and Pine Hi!l tunne!, Littlejoun rolled out @ thirty minutes’ denunciation of the v.tves on behalf or the Midiand and Oswego road. Jacobs male one of his rea'ly fine speeches, which are always ready in an emergency. He defended the courage and n hood of the Governor in the course he had taken, while he ‘@lmired aso the boldness of the gentieran on the floor, who had stood by the interests of the Midland road. Fields and Husted hala very pleasant piece of fini-hing up in the BADINAGE. Musted was solemn in the opening of nis speech and poetical at the close. Fields twitie him ‘or his poetry and told a humorous story of a bald eagle ‘whom he found dying on the avenue to the Capitol, ‘and upon inquirmg into the reason of his sudden demise the royal bird assure] him in faint accents that the poetry of the other bald eagle 1rom West- chcster had done for him, but that, although he was leaving the. worid, he left behind him a numerous Fogeny that would haunt the Westchester bird as long as he lived. Dry old Seikreg was reminded by this discussion cf a passage in the story of Don Quixote, but he was puzzled to tell in this case which was the windmill and which Don Quixote. Fields, in his ‘i-humore | way, remarked that any one who studied the iliustrations of the book could not he-tate upon deciding who wasmot the Sancho Panza of the story. Titis rap hit Selkreg up to the blushing tat. He is remarkybly thin and bony, as unlike ancho as he is like Sclkreg. WIT AND HUMOR flew about for awhiie like buttertlies on a summer's day, uatil the vore was taken on question. whether the bil's should pass notwithsiauding re olrection cf the Governor. The resait was that the Go ernor’s veioes were sustainel, one afier the otlier, by affirmative votes of 89 and’85 to 27. THE QUARANTINE GROUNDS. The investigating commities report that the Legis- lature shouid noi have sold all these grounds; ih there is no point lower down fit for a boarding sta- tion, They recommesd thai authority should ve given 'o the Quarantine officers next session to buy or lease {or a term of years @ poriion of the old ground Jor a bea: ding s’afion in the upper bay. THE AMENITIES of the Houre was ex‘eniel in the usual form by a series of reso u ious coumendadory of the eMcers of the House. Husted, of Westchester. who was the re- publican cantidate for Spcaker, offered a vote of thanks to Speaker Hitchman, in words of great ele- gance and eirnestnes*, Nothing cou'd be more ‘warm than the encomium he passed upou Mr. Hitch- man for his kindness, courtesy and fuirness during the session. ersonally he had acquired for the Bpeuker & cose uffction, Persemaliy, then, he thanked him for his) comiuct in the chair, ant in behalf of his party he thinked lum sincerely also, Alvord and Littlejohn racefully s:con led the r.so'u':on. cach paying the ighest comykment ty Speaser Hitchman for hits sincerity anl impa talily. Littiejolim sail that in gil his experience he hal never known a Speaker more courteous, fair and hovoravle than Mr. Hitch- man, ticuzh, of course, he ojten difered trom his decision®, Gl a-01, of St. Lawrence, who was in ihe ca ty, put tae mot.onu to the Hous», and every mem- ber rose t) bis fect, thus caring the re-oluthin onaninousy. Similar reso.u1ons were in ro !ucedt by Mr. Avvord and Mr. Selkreg thanking the Cl rk, Mr. Armstrong, ani all the deputy cl rks,an(l adopter’, t is fair (0 “@y that all these gcmtlemen iuily deserve the comp.iment.

The committee mado a careful examination of the boat, the approaches and surrot premises, and the testimony of twenty-three witae ‘By personal ovservation they found the accom- modations for the travelllag public wholly inadequate and Unsatisiaetory. ‘The dock on the New Yoré sice is in a state of decay, and the boat house is not only in @ filthy condition Dut is aiso in a very dilapidated state. ‘No care zeems to be exercised towards providing for the convenience and comfort of the people who are necessitated to use thie ferry ae a meant of trave..

On motion of Mr. Jacobs at the forenvon session it was re-olved that when the House met at balf- past seven it should sit until! tie business was finished, and the Legislature was prepared to adjourn sine die at the evening session. A delightful scene occurred wien Bergen attempted to bring up the Arcade Railroad biil, aud for that purpose moved that the order of business be suspeniel. He sald that tle people of New York were in favor of this im,rovement, Upon this James Irving sprung to hig feet and denied that tue people of New York were in favor of tie rattroal unles ‘Mr. Bergen was the peopie; but he wougut that the genvienan was speaking for bimreif and not for the. ctitzene of the city. Irving fought against the bill through all the tkarmisnes and tihbusterins that fol- lowed—and there was plenty of both for an hour or two, ‘The Speaker took the floor, having put Jacob: In ‘the chair, who had frequently to uge the gavel like @ sledge-bammer and to call gentlemen to the-r seats.

Field's allu- sions to the interest of members in the bill touched Mr. Kiernan so keenly that he rose and said, evidently under the influence of an honest feeling, that he had not interest, either present or prospective, directly or in oy ta the bil, He would, therefore, 8)y now ‘hat Mr. Fields had made a mis: 3 outside Of the House he would charac. terive 10 by anocner name. Fields, not liking the suggestion of cold pistols and hot cfee, made a humorous explana- tion, saying that he did not apply the lan- guage to Mr. Littlejoin or Mr. Kiernan, but he must apply the language of Shakspeare referring to the “ga led jade” to the sensitivenss of the gen- tem u in this cas.

THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE, Constitutional Objections to Granting State Aid to Railroads—The People Cannot Afford any Heavy Addition to Their Taxes—The Question Should be Submitted to the People at Large. The following is the message of Governor Hoffman to the State Assembly vetoing the bills granting State aid to the Midland and other raflroahs:— STATE or NEW York, EXecurive CuAEBER,) ALBANY, April 25, 1870, § roval, Assembly bill No. 600, en- fe the construction of the railroad of the Adirondack Company and its ext ension to the waters of the St. Lawrence river at the clty of Oxdensourg.” The bill proposes to grant out of the State treasury about one million seyen hundred thousand dollars in ald of the construction of the railroad of the Adirondack Company—a Toad whiob, when completed, will extend from Saratoga Springs to Ogdensburg—the aum #0 granted to be levied by tax upon the people of the State at large. ‘the projected road would pass through e part of the State 8 Very sparsely inhabited, and which ts, in fact, al- most in the condition of the primitive wilderness. It cannot hope, therefore, to recelve from towns and other muntelpalt- ties pecuniary in the manner provided by the gen- eral town ponding act, under which many enterprises of this kind have been and are being materially assisted. The road would render accessible @ section of the State known to be m_ mineral wealth and to abound in valuable .. For want of ability to reach our great mar- kets this region fails to contribute to the wealth in proportion to its abundant though loped resources. ‘The ndvocates of the, enterprl weil urge that the ri interested in and would be benefit which wou'd induce the settlement of an industrious popuia- tiou in this now unproductive region, The same reason was adduced last year, and wilt bo agai adduced now, in favor of granting ald to the Whitehall and Plattsburg road from the State treasury. In fact, this argument may be made, with varying force, ia favor of all the roads which are apply- Ing for grants of money from the troasury. if are seven biilsof thisnature now in my hands, to wit:—This one, in which the whole sum appropriated is not definitely stated, being at the rate of but fn which the tax’ authorized for the purposes of the road H.

He referred to the liberality and enterprise of Massachu- setis in its work on the Hoosac tunnel. He a'so claimed that at least a portion of the money it was proposed to lock up in the new Capitol building here might better be given to these great enterprises—these valuable tmprovements.

Trouble Apprehended—The Peekskill Strike— Armed Moulders Imprisoned in a Foundry = The Matter Taken Before the Westchester Couaty Grand Jury. Povankeersig, April 27, 1870. There has been an extensive strike among the brickmakers at Croton Landing, south of Peekskill, It commenced yesterday and ie in progress now. Many of the strikers imbibe freely of liquor and are quite botsterous in their conduct, aud serious trouble is apprehended, though the ‘bosses’? entertain no such fears, Word has reached here also that all the men at work in the brick yards at Hav ra raw— some 800 or 900-—have also s.ruck, but the report needs confirmation. There are at Croton Landing some six yards, three owned by Cox & Barlow, Jwho employ 100 me! Mr. Vaau Cort- land, thirty-five men; R. D. Talcott, twenty-five, and Secor & Morton thirty nen. It seems that up to last fali the brick business was quite brick, and brick by the thousand brought a fair price, Tie “bossea"’ then paid the men wages ianging from twen'y-tive to sixty dollars per mouth aud board, Truckers got thirty-two dollars, brick wheeles thirty-five dollars and dumpers thirty-five dol ars per month, During the winter, and thus far {hia spring, the brick business, according to the bosses, has been exceedingly dull, and ali brick now bring alow price, pale brick alone seliing for three dollars per thousand. Tue proprietors say that in view of this fact the wages must be reduced or they must siop work, Wishing to keep the work going they prefer to reduce the pay of the men to prices ranging from twenty to fifty dollars per month and board. Such, in fact, was the result of a mee ing he.d by the bosses last Friday. The men also hed a meeting On that day, and also agreed upon a scale of prices, but theisranged irom thirty :o filty-tive dollars per month, Nettuer would give way, bene the strike. As yei the men have beaved theniseives, but some haif a dozen grog shops in the viemity mas be the cause of great trouble, as two-thirds of the strikers are Irish and German, and many of thew drink, Some of the quiet and orderly ones woul go to work, but they have been threatened and dare not. Lt was thought at one time towlay that an at- tack was to be made on one of the yards. The bosses incline to the tdea that the thing will end a “fizzle,” but not so the men. The trouble among the Peekskill monlders has brought a singwar scene to light. Tle most objec- tive manufactory to the union men seeins to be the National Stove Works, a large structure situ- altel @& short distance from the railway depot. The proprietors of this establishment, despite the rerfous threits of the union men and the beating of one or two of the non-union men who have appliet for work, have managed to place in their works, through consuvamate strategy, about forty non-union men, who, for two weeks, have never left the building, fearyng they would be mob- bed, All the windows on the lower floors of the foundry have been painted to prevent the union men looking tn, and ry door leading from the street has been barricaded, Upon the third floor a large dinmg room has been constructed, tn which all car eat thetr meals at one time, being watted upon by two colored men, while two experienced colored cooks attend to the culinary department. During the day the pistol of every non-union man ites close him, and when the day’s work is ended all repair to another room in the third story, which has been fitted up with berths ud provided with plenty of bedding. In this sieep- ing room 4s a long table, filed with newspapers ad books, whl'e musical instruments, cards, &., ac also visible, As each man etires he removes his pistol and lays it loaded upon the table, to have 1 ready in case of a surprise. For two weeks have these men, who are willing to work tor the support of their famiites, been thus tmprisone!—for it ts re- ally an imprisonment—not oe Lo Walk outside of the literally besteged foundry for fear of as-ault. What a verdict against the authorities of the villaze of Peekskill ! Seve. al gentemen went to White Plains to-day to pre-ent the cases of three or four of the union men he ore the Grand Jury of Westctesier county.

Dacotah Indians Becoming Troublesome— Honstilities Threatened by the Grand River Reservation Bands—Vigorous Measures to Prevent an Outbreak. Cutcaao, April 26, 1870, From information recetved at General Sherman's headquarters it appears that the Brate anh Sioux Indians on the Grand River, Whitestone and big Cheyenne reservations, in Dakota, aro again making trouble, threatening to kill the govern- ment employés among them, shooting down cattle and subjecting the agents to all sorts of abuse, These savages number about 12,000, and are divided into about half a dozen different bands, Most of the trouble has been aud is now experienced on the Grand River reserva- tion. The Fourteenth and Seventeenth infantry which have been ordered to the scene of trouble, wtil reach there about the It of May. They will not make any hostile demonstrations against the brutes unless the necessity demands it; but Gene Sheridan says he will Make th se Indians behave themselves, and it they do not, will u @ Vigo Oug Measures to put then down.
