TUE STATE CAPITAL. The Erie Classification Bill Before the Assembly. W RECEIVES ITS FIRST REPULSE, The Lobbymen of Erie in Strong Foree. Democratic Facetiousness Over New Hampshire. ALBANY, March 14, 1871. Now that the “beginning of the ead” draws nigh, THE RAILROAD FOLKS who have pet schemes to be put through and the rauroad folks who do not want to be euchred by ‘their rivals by ways that are dark and tricks that are not always vain in the long run are getting themselves togetiier hereabouts preparatory to the final struggie. ‘The Erie people have come up in strong force w-day, and, for the first time since tie Goodrich bill put in its unwelcome appearance, have shown an unmistakable deter- mination to fight for their own interests, be the con- sequences what they may. Heretofore Erie's pres- ence has always been heralded with a great sound of trumpets, and the man who was selected to engt- neer the road through the tortuous ways of the ship. pery lobby never failed to make his headquarters known to everybody who could by any means have @ voice in the question of its life or death. Its policy has been changed, it would seem, tor the remaider of the present session. Ever since the day when the Good- rich bill was introduced no agent or recog- mj'zed employé of the road has been seen officially within miles of the Capitol. To be sure, when tne Dill was argued pro and con, before the Railroad Committee, a week or so ago, the company had its counsel op hand; but this was a necessity whicn nu policy could have well withstood. What has prompted the road to pursue the course it has seen proper to take it woula be hard to tell, but 1 have jearned w-day that the ‘agents’ of the company who have negotiating powers which the third house know so Well how to appreciate are now in ‘this city in lucrative force, but with orders to re- amain incog. until the session has come toa close. It would thas seem that the old style of openly Sighting with GREENBACKS IN HAND every obstacte in its path has been abandoned by the road, with a view, possibly, of leading the gen- eral public to believe that it doesn’t care a snap what the fate of either the Goodrich or Lewis bill may be, while at the same time they can work just as stoutly as ever by means of instruments that are well “greased” for the purpose, and which work so noiselessly in the dark that no one who has not been consulted as to the working of the machinery has the slightest idea of how the fuel is supplied or how the steam cs- capes. If the Goodrich bill ever comes out of the committee's hands, where It now is, and gets before the House, the engineers will have to roll up their fieeves and do openly what they have so far done andergroupd. If tt does not and the session comes to a close without any fuss being made over its non-appearance they will have done their duty well and ‘no one will be made the wiser whos not wise on the subject already. So iar the machinery ts said to rua splen- didiy, and the fuel supplied bas kept every whcel turning in the right direction. The Erie, however, may be lost sight of soon, even should the agents have to stow tueir bands ina certain contingency, and that is 1 ine crowd of Hudson and Central and Delaware and Hudson Canal men who now throng the city is an indication of a rough and tamvle in the legisiative arena, all on account of their own selfish interests. Their presence looks rather sus- picions, and altnough they pretend to have no “job” on hand the lobby appear to know otherwise. The aturaction and THE WAR THAT IS TO COME during the next few weeks, are concentrated in the bills that are now under consideration in the jower house. One of them authorizes the Delaware ana Lackawanna Railroad, the bosom irieud (') of tue Enie, 10 run its coal cars over any other road in the State; the second repeals the law of 1567, which jaced such an immense power in the hands of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, and the third ohibits any canai company from owning or leas- iw any rullroad. Now, the two last mentioned bills, aitjough somewhat diferent in thelr genera! fea- tures, have, I thiuk, the same end in v.ew, and I have good reason to believe that the Hudson and Central people are here Lo see to it that the bills do not get Uprottied in the committees or in either House, if they get through the committees unshorn of their most sweeping provisions. The reason for their anxiety is that the Delaware aud Hudson Canal Company has now very nearly a third of the capital Stock of Wie Reusselaer and Saratoga road 1n its pos- session, while a sourth 1s held by the Central and Hudson. Were the bills made jaws the Susque- hanna, Rensselaer and Saratoga, it is believed, Would fall into the hands of Vanderbilt, thus com- pelling the canal company to contine its ‘operations solely to the canals and coal carrying. explain the wirepuilings that aré now going on by the railroad peopie and the presence of so many of them in town at une ume. “When the whole lot of them are pitted against each other's interests there will certainly be a lively time, aud te knowledge of ‘this fact has done a great deal 10- io making the Jobbyists look uncommonly happy and the strikers to become, like M iwig, ‘oue vast, substantial smile.” Probab! ery best evidence of the eitl- cacy of the new tactics of the Erie can be found in the way that poor Goodrich is knocked about 1n the House when be tries to stir up the sulject of THE REPEAL BILL. To-day he again made an attempt to get the House 10 pass a resolution taking tie whole subject out of the hands of the Ratiroad Committee, “but again signally tailed. The resolution came up when there wer of monous and counter motions beiore thi aud when the Speaker, with his ‘usual quietness and tact, was scattering them right aod jeft in the directions they should t ‘The time was by no meansan opportune one for the in- troduction ‘ol the resolution, and It got so mixed up ‘with the motions and counter resoluuions that even Gocadrich lost sight of the real merits of the situa- tion and took an appeal against the decision of the chair by a mistake, the consequence of which was that the resolution was lost by a vote of 60 to 64, every republican present voting in the negative. Several of the rural fragments of the majority had imiended to vote for the resolution, and had they done so the result would haye been ratuer hard on the Railroad Committee; but Irving, of New York, blocked THEIR LITTLE GAME by his usual good tact, which lie never fails to dis- play when ihe majority are im a@ Ught box which they want to get out of, and busied mumself so actively among the “greenies” wiutle the voi was being taken tbat Victory was made certain Jor the opponents of the proposition. Govdrich, however, intends to try his hand again, and swears he will fetch the the thing yet. My opinion ts, frem ail L can learn on the subject, Maat the apparent un- Willingness of the majority to take the bill out of the hands of the committee was manifested simply because they don’t want to let the jeading repealer and his friends take the fiattering unction to their souls shat they have been forced w do it if they should give w It need net be surprising, there- fore, if shortiy definite action is taken upon the ‘Dil on the mouon of a democrat. A BIG THING. A bill was introduced in the lower House to-day by Mr. Prear, which mcorporates a company calied the “New York and Albany Transportation Com- pany.” ‘The ude is so much like the ttles of hnn- Greds of bitis of no imporiance that are presented ay alter day that 11 1s Ikely to deceive any one who Would be content to judge Of its real merits from 1ts “aignboarda” solely.” The fact is that it 1s one of the most Imporiaut measures that has as yet come etre either House. In shor, it looks to the Incor- porauon of a railroad ‘company with a capital stock of fifty millions of dollars, who are empowered to build a narrow gauge railroad from this city to Buifalo, with the privilege of extending it to New York on the west side of the Hudson. Although the real backers of the Dill Lave not yet revealed themselves AU is staced that bey are large capiialists, who really mean business, ‘here are several excelient features 4n the bill, not the least of which is one prohibiting the road from veing consolidated with the Hudson or Central, from being leased to any other road or obtaiming @ lease of aby other. Anotier clause pro- vides Wat no director of the company can be a director tn any oth inpany, ner tie director of aouiner company be a director in the new concern. THE EUROPEAN The hotel people who are lavorable to the European plan were attended to to-day by the Judiciary Committee reporting favorably upon a bul compelling them to sbow their prices of ‘vit~ wis” in every room. Every bovei proprietor, accordiug vo ine hovel act, is required to have the “price per day” posted in a ¢ picuous piace in every apartment, and the European pian folks com. iy by putting up the price of aroom per day. By is amendinent to the act they will hereafter be compelled to put tieir entire bill of fare alongside of (he room rent, 80 that guests cap know that while they ‘pays ther money and takes their choice” of a room their meals are not throwa in by & good di THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION, To say tat the democrats were half crazy to-day avout the New ampshire election would be giving but a very faint idea of the way some of them took @b about the walter, The conswmotion of extra Ail this may j | probably look upon tne t whiskey and cigars and the “treats all round” and the toasts that Were drank pectin all in honor of the democratic rooster which had been cooped up in New Hampshire so long was positively alarm- ing, and at one time during the session of the two houses it was feared that a bill would be intro- duced by some enthusiastic country “unwashed” to annex the little State to New York city, The more moderate members thought the opportunity 1d one to be sour-castic, as the late Artemus Ward would say, and got off resolutions expressive of re- publican sentiment, which created great merriment among the “outsiders” who thronged both houses when they were offered. The following were tne resolutions, The first was oflered by Genet in the Senate and the second by Wyoming Joy in the House, Who, doubtless, felt very joy-full over the lofty tumble down East:— Resolved, That the terrible outrages perpetrated yesterday by the democracy of New Hampshire upon the republican party cal for additional legis'ation by ‘Congress, and that the President of the United staves be directed at “once 10 take military possession of the said State of New Hampabire and “fgbe ft out on that ne ff it takes all summer,” Resoived. If the Senate concur, That a respectful message be sent to the Congressional Committee on Southern Out- rages inquiring what legisiation is necessary in order to bet- ter secure a republican form of government in the State ot New Hampshire, and suggesting the propriety of sending them a few colored troops to prevent @ like recurrence in the future, Let us have peace. ONE OF A FEW THAT ARE TO COME, A most extraordinary bill is that introduced by Mr. Tweed (his morning, 1ucorperating a certam set of nobodies as a sort of universal employment wency. The thing was not of the ‘-Boss"’ making, 1 understand, bat was given to him by the conductor of a small fry real estate paper, who has his finger inthe pie. The privileges of the company are 80 immense, and they are to do so much and take so much on the insignificant starting pomt of $26,000, that attention need only be called to certain provisions of the bill to show what a nice thing it amounts to. For instance, the company are authorized to furnish help and assistants to bankers, merchants, farmers, dairies, mechanics, houses, artisans, &@; may im- port help and guarantee their honesty, and, if the party supplied loses any property by such servants, the amount .stipulated in contract as mdemnity shall be paid‘ by the company within sixty day ‘They are also empowered to receive money on deposit, also baggage, clothing and “other vatuables of emigrants anda others and to recelve fees for such upon a guarantee for their safety. For money deposited the company shall pay tue same rate of Interest ailowed by other savings institutions. A NEW MARKET COMPANY. Mr. Tweed also introduced a bill incorporating the Washington Market Company of New York. ‘The bill authorizes them to acquire property, erect buildings, docks, &¥., issue stock, rent sialls and do a general market business, with a capital of $1,000,000, to be increasea to $5,000,000 if the incor- porators, R. G. Cornell, H. W. Knapp and others, desire to do so. The Erie Directors Classification Act—The New Hamburg Disaster. ALBANY, March 14, 1871, A hearing was set down for to-day before the Assembly Railroad Committee on the bill introduced by Mr, Goodrich, of Kings county, to repeal the Erle Directors Classification act. Mr. Lyman Tre- main was present on behalf ef the petitioners tor the repeal and J, Vanderpool, of New York, for the Erte Company. Mr. Irving, of the committee, moved to adjourn the hearing till next Wednesday, on the ground that the committee had an engagement to meet the Senate Ratiroad Committee in a few minutes upon the New Hamburg disaster investigation, and that the joint commitiee were limited in their time to report thereon, The Committee then adjourned until Wednestay next, without, however, fixing any time for the hearing of further argument on the Classification Bull. THE NEW HAMBURG DISASTER. The joint Railroad Committee had a session this afternoon on the New Hamburg disaster, and, with- out taking any further testimony, closed the case. They are to meet on Friday to make up a report. ILLEGAL TAXATION. Veto Messnge of Governor Hoffman. The following is the message of Governor Hoff- man in returning, with his objections, the bill ex- tending tne operation of the act providing for relief agamst illegal taxation in certain counties, with the lollowing message:— To THR ASSENELY:— Ireturn, without my signature, Assembly bill No. 71, en- titled an act to extend the operation of chapter $88 of the Jawa of 1867, being “An act providing for relief against 1l- legal taxation in the counties of Herkimer, Otsego, Che- nango, Onondaga, Saratoga and Fuiton, to the county of Westchester. The bil proposes to extend over the county of Westchester provisions of chapter 938 of the Laws of 1887. This last men- tioned act, approved by my predecessor, gives power to the Supervisors of several counties named therein—viz.: Herki- mer, Otsego, Chenango, Madison, Onondaga, Saratoga and Fulton, to refund to the parties who paid ‘the same such taxes as they may find to have been improperly levied at any Ume since the year 161; and authorizes them to ievy the sum so refunded as a new tax upon the county at large. Subsequentiy, by chapter 860 of the Laws of 180, the coun- ties of Herkimer, Otsego and Madison were exempted from the operation of ‘the act of 187. The cases for which this ‘special provision was made are understood to consist’ chiely of claims made by certain corporations for repayment of taxes paid by them during the war, with out protest or contest on their part, In one instance, or ver- haps more, of a like tax levied in other counties, payment was refused or made under protest, and. after pro\onged litt - ation, the tax declared to have been improperly inid. ther ‘parties who did not at the proper time avail them- scives of their privilege to apoeal to the courts, and who did now x as unfair and oppressive seek to have their cases reopened. and to have repai them moneys which they have paid without hesitati which, with other moneys. raised by taxation, have applied to the support of the State and local governments f the cases to which the act of 1867 applies, und the pro- posed bill would apply, were cases of great hardship and practical injustice there might be some reason for providing an extraordinary remedy by legislative action. As they are not such, I cannot perceive the propriety of re- opening now these old reckonings of the share watch each taxpayer of the county was in past years bound to pay towards the public expenses. The claims which will be put in will be tounded, it 18 understood, upon a construction given by the courts fo the Iaw exempting the securities and public debt of the United States from taxation. At the time Of their levy, the taxes now aoncht to be refunded were almost universally believed to be fair and equitable; the parties themselves on whom they were leviea, paying them without complain. It isnot provable that any cf those who how seek relief paid more than their just contribution to the great expenditures of that pe Notwithstanding that, Aince then it has been decided that a certain portion of per- sonal property, including even ready money in the form of Tegal tender notes, should have been exempted from all taxa~ tion. ‘The corporations and the shareholders who resisted the State tax did so successfully under strict construction of law. They were equitably bound to contrivnte their wards the expenses of the government. Thi provided for a tax on bank and other mone; ona valuation eaual to their pital furplus earnings, less ten per cent of the sur- plus. Und this act a litigation arose between tax commissioners. and_ certain banks, when capi- tal was invested largely in United States securities, and was decided in favor of the bank Then the State sed a law (chap. 9%, Laws of 1869), designed to reach the shareholders in the banks by taxing the shares as personal property. This law was held invalid in the United States courte, not becanse such shares were not taxable, but because of a de- fect in the law, (See Van Allen vs. the Assess lace, United States Reports. page 573.) _ Thi remedied by chapter 761 of the laws of 1865, under which, while the bank capital is not taxed, the shareholders are and the validity of this law has not been dispnted. Many, not quite all, of the clans now made for repayment of taxes come from those who paid upon their capital or upon their shares before the law of 1846. These claims are not, therefore, in my judgment, of a na- ture to appeal powerfully, to one wense of equity. If the claimants had the power at the time to resist In the courts the payment of a just and equitabie tax, and neglected to ex- ert the power, and assert their sirict leval rizhts in the ordi- nury way, and atthe proper time, that affords no suflicient excuse for providing now ® special tribunal for considering their demands, for re-opening and re-seitling tax levies made in good faith y », and for levying new burdens on the taxpayers of to day, to meet claims which may fairly be ob- jected to now as having become, by the lapse of time, stale. It woula be a bad precedent to allow the Board ot Supervisors to go back over so long a period to reconsider the acta of their predecessors in this respect, unless in in- stances of very great and most manifest oppression. When, in consequence of the great expenditures render-d necessary by the war, all taxpayers had to endure unusual bardens, the hardship was certainly not felt #0 severely by the class who Were favored by exemption of part of their property trom taxation as by others, While content that this class shout have all their legal rights, I do not think we are bound to provide special means for remedying their own neglect to enforce their rights, Ttherefore revirn the bill to you, in the confident beliet that, on reconsideration, you wil agree with me that it should not pass into a law. (Signed) JOHN T. HOFFMAN. stock and BROOKLYN MATTERS. A lecture will be delivered by Rev. H. M. Gallaher, the well known popular orator and preacher, at the ‘Tweltth street Reformed church, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, Brooklyn, on Friday evening, This comprises one of @ series of six lectures de- liverea during the seasen at thischurch, The sub- ject of Mr. Gallaher’s discourse will be “Ireland and the Irisb,” a theme of which the learned speaxer is quite competent to treat. Owing toa defect in the chimney of the furnace at the chemical works of Sprague & Close, Delevan street, near Richard, Red Hook Court, a tire broke out in that building shortly after one o'clock yester- day morning. The structure, which was a two story frame, Was owned by Mr. Pollion, the ship- butider, and was destroyed. The loss 1s $2,000 on buliding; fully msaved. The stock and machinery destroyed were valued at $8,000; insured Ip various city companies. The course of lectures on historical characters which 1s now being delivered by Dr. Lord, at the Packer Ipstitute, is attended by an appreciative audience, composed mainly of ladies. At the ter minauon of his lecture on “Lord Bacon’? yesterday alternoon the lecturer announced that hereafter the lectures would commence every Tuesday at half. past three o'clock P. M. ‘This desirable change will enable many professional men to avall themeelves of the great intellectual treat afforded by these bril- Nant and instracuve productions, There were 202 deaths in Brooklyn during the past week, being an mcrease of 23 over the number re- ported for the previous week. Of the deceased 32 were men, 65 women, 51 boys and 64 girls: 47 were under twelve months and 2 were upward of elguty years; 15 were between the ages of sixty and glity years; 148 were natives of the Umted States, 2 of ireiand, 13 of Germany, 6 of Engiand, 2 of Scotiand and 1 of Maly. Consumption carried off 26; disease of brain, 20; Bearletina, 22; pneumonia, 7; smallpo: diphtheria, bronchitis, debility and erysipelas, 4 cach, and croup, % The higiest rate of mortality was reached in the Tenth ward, where there were 22 deaths. * It has been asserted that certain parties who have been engaged In removing smalipox patients to the Flatbush Hospital have been “letting ouv’ the coaches used to convey the pestilential stricken to carry people to funerals. This is a great outrage upon the sanitary safety of Brooklyn, and should be thoroughly investigated by the Health authorides in order that the evil poe may be stopped at once, before the contagion has spread any further, and that the persons so offending may be brought under the lash of the law without delay, and made an ex- ample of for the benefit of all reckless mercenary Jehus, The elect of this business will be to ruth the coach trade by impressing upon people the propriety of walking in preference to carriage riding, There were twenty-eight cases of smallpox reported in Brooklyn during the past week. THE BUSSING WILL CASE Decision of the Westchester Coanty Surrogate im the Matter—Tie Contested Document Sustained. The decision ot Surrogate Coffin tn the Bussing legacy matter, which has occasioned almost univer- sal interest in Westchester county, was rendered by that offictal in his court at White Plains yesterday. This s>2mewhat remarkable case, the hearing of which has extended through a period of several months, has terminated in the contested will being declared valid and admitted to probate. In his rather voluminous decision the Surrogate makes prominent mention of the faithful services rendered by the legatee (John Bussing, Jr., son of the testator), at all times on his Jather’s farm, infer- ring that to the INDUSTRIOUS EFFORTS of the son was matvly attributable the material merease in the value of the estate. Regarding the many years during which the testator kept his bed, no evidence had been offered to warrant the assumption that his mental faculties were at all tm- paired at the time he executed the will, nor, indeed, Jor years afterwards. The charge — that undue iufuence had been exerted over the testator by nis son John was _tinueidly reviewed by the Surrogate, who adverted to the circumstance that when the decedent first took to his bed his son, the legatee, was scarcely fourteen years of age; that he was an only son, A HARD-WORKING YOUTH, of good morals, as far as could pe ascertained; the legatee had arrived at the age of about twenty years Wnaen the will was executed, and did not kpow that the latter was in existence until fve years alter its execution. “Undue influence to make void a will must be such as to overcome the free agency of the testa- tator at the ume the instrument was made. It must be such that the tes- tator ceased to be a free agent and had quite s cuimbed to the power of the controlling will.”’ decision continues to set sorta that at the time the ‘will was executed tue proponent had barely arrived at man’s estate; that he was a man who POSSE-SED A STRONG WILL and seldom gave utierance to his thoughts, while it was duificult to induce him to change his mind after he had once fixed upon any subject; that it was 2) scarcely fair to inier that a laa who had grown up under the eye of such a parent had at that early period obtained such an undue and controlling influence over aman of sucha firm character. in conclusion, the Surro- gate said:—1 have carefully ex:mined the au- thorities cited by the counsel Tor the contestants, as Well as those cited for proponent, and have duly considered their able and e. ustive arguments, and am wuable to arrive at any ether conclusions than those above expressed, It was natural under the circumstances that the testator should make the discrimmation the wil shows he did in Javor of his son. He was an oniy son, The daughters were married and settled in hfe away irom home. The son wus the right hand of the tather in working, managing and holding the property until it had risen so immensely in value. The conduct of the 80D Was always kind and respectful towards his father, and it was perfectly natural for the father to give him the largest share, His unbiased will stands as a reason for his act. and the will must be admitted to probate. It is understood that the contestants will appeal from vhe decision of the surrogate. FIRES IN ILLINO.
