The batsde has been fought ~and victory bas perched on the banners of the Fen- tonites, as predicted ia the HERALD despatches from “here. The struggle wasa tough one. ‘The ground Was contested foot by foot, inch by inen, to the Ditter end. Every parnamentary dodge that coula be worked was put in operation, but all to no effect, The forces had been marshalled and drilled. The Fentonites withstood with solid ranks the repeated attempts to force them out of position, Since Satur- last the adherents of both fppecn of the repub- ‘iean patiy havé beoli active and last night both parties were very hopeful. With FY their popgtuiness, nowéver, they did 1ot for @ Mouioat reiax their difort to make assurance doubly re to-day, ‘The trains from all sections of tne tate brought crowds of Adiiérents to elther fide, and during the day the électric Wires were froighted with messages to members, advising them to vote ‘for the bill as Amtroduced by Hawkins, These messages came from the Customs and Revenue departments and Bavy yard ofc aud some were signed by W. OQ. *Kingsiy, the new fing Master ot Brooklyn. All these had not the destred effect, and tron conversa- tions and comments held in different quarters it safe to say that the whipping in article whic! it: peared in one of the New York papers this morh- Ing helped beyond a dgnbt to influence several members to vote in direct Opposition to the side taken by that journal, ¢ Zt the Morvrxa session to-aay there was little appearance of life, as all par- tues seemed to be saving thelr etrength for the dgnt which was expected to come off to-night, Thé onif matter of moment was the personal explanation by Hlusteg jn réply (6 “SH ‘article which waa re- péatedly pubdiisbed in the New York journal above alluded to, charging tim with fraud m supplying gravel to Central Park. Tne Bald Eagle was most emphatic in his denunciation of the article as a base and unwarrantable falschood. ‘His explanation, together with THE LASHING EDITORIAL @f to-day and Alvord’s speech thia evening, charg- ‘ng that whatever divisions existed in the repubdli- ean party were due entirely to tne stand taken by tne journal—all tended to in- @uce republican members oiberwise unbdlassed to assert an air of independence and vote in favor of the substitute offered by Mr. Twombly. When the Assembly was called to order this evening the scene was peculiarly lively and called forcipiy to mind she caucus on the Speaker- hip. Very nearly the same crowd were present. ‘Tue galleries were thronged, the lobbies ai 1:3 back - “ST us chautea ¥ Srawaed to their atmost capcity. Eveéi place™ that could be optained outside of the members’ chairs was taken possession of by some ardent patriot anxious to be present at the grand tussel, The manly form, handsome face and GLOSSY BEARD OF BROOKLYN'S BLISS adorned one corner of the room; the Comptroller's cady mingled with the crowd at the back. Tho Generals of the canal and ratiroad rings were among. the spectators. General Barnum, who ts here to obtain an act of incorporation for the Grand Army Of the Republic tn this State, was in another corner. Mr. Wheeler, of the Commitice of Seventy, stood a@long the throng and noted carefully the situation, The Commitice of the Whole was organized as be- fore, with Jacobs in the chair. As soon as the com: mittee wads properly organized Speaker Smith took the floor and delivered a sermon of some filteen mainutes’ length in {avor of the original bill of Haw. kins, He advanced © °?*e "Rw 2) ‘ $a < THAT WORN-OUT IDE. ae Te i the members should rise above party consider- ations and vote only fora geod government, deciar fing that he would oppose the idea of all Boards of Audit, and suggesteu an amendment which pre- vents increasing any amount of any clatm, af closed with an appeal to gentlemen of every par to vote as he desired them. The “hoary-ieaded coon of the House, as Niles of Westchester calied vord this morning, iollowed Mr. Smith, and ar- gued strongly in favor of the substitute. He took occasion to make it a party measure, and ciaimea that there were just as honest men tn the republican ranks as the democratic Mr. Green, on whom the; wished to confer the immense power the bill woul give him. When aliuding to THE UNLIMITED POWER ‘which certain portions of the bill gave tne Comp- troller. He was interrupted by Mr, Smith, who ex- ciamed rather curtly, “Point them Le did not rise and address the Chair, nor show any otver evidence of a knowleuge of parliamentary practice or customary courtesy. Mr. Alvord read the portion of te bill to Which he had reference, when Mr. Smith futerruped again, by saying, “Where is that in ‘tis amendment?’ al the same time hoiding up a small slip of paper, and looking at Alvord in most sulky style. ‘The satiy Tycoon said that he bad Bo objection to ve catechiséd Ly auy gentieman, but HE WAS NOT A SCHOOLBOY. and did not wish to be questioned in such a harsh manner as that of the gentieman from Albany, Mr. Smith, The latter gentleman evidently felt ae rebuke very keenly, as heis sue} SpHekles for order $7 accoram pate foube, ani 60 far forgotten ask questions of the weet without rising or addressing the Chalf. ung Bis head and the venerable cheeks ‘were Paral sSushed. Alvord concluded by declaring that whe men get above tlcir party, so as to act as if their should bow to them, then it was time that jution should come and a new party should be formed. Mr. I'wombly toliowed Alvord in favor of hus substitute, and was getting warmed up to the subject when the hand of the clock reached eight. dacobs let the gavel come down with o A TERRIFIC BAP, ‘and announced that the time had arrived when the vote was w be taken. All this time Hawkins haa remained quiet as a lamb, but was undoubtedly very nervous, and his imperial and chin conse. aently suffered much torture, Jacobs announced the uestion as being on the substitute offered ty i Twombly, when Mr Strahan arose end ald most — tmpressive style, pressin; his lips firmly together afier each word; “and on that! call the ayes aud noes,” He was determined to put the people on record, but was gered on being informed by Chairman Jacobs that ayes and noes were ou! of order 10 Coie Miltee of the Whole. This brought ‘A LAUGH AT STRAHAN, ‘who Is not @ now member, and although he smiled hhuneel!, he did not relish the tdea of having shown 0 much ignorauce of the rules, The vote was taken sanding, aud showed 62 for (he substitute, and 44 stat Smith Hmmediately offered to amend by king the bill as amended afier the enacting ols and insert the original bili with the addi- fional‘amendineut he tad suggested. On this there Game up points of order from several diferent arters. Jacobs even got slightly mixed up. ub got nervous and somewhat irritable; be showed his chagrip quite plainly, but when the vore ‘was taken it was aimost a decided negative, This staggered him more than ever—so much that when he offered a further, awendment to strike out the first section, there was not one affirmative vote. He overed amendment after amendment, but all Were reguiariy and emphatically voted down. Whitbeck offered an amendment providing for a Dublic meeting of the Board, and this, with several other minor amendments to the bill, was reported. Alberver then tried the dodge of etd lt, i ard pe ge this the yeas and nays were cailed, This, Course, Was THR TRST VOTE.

ALBANY, Jan. 22, 1872, In the Senate Mr. Benedict introduced a bill to consolidate the various acts relating to common schools in the city of New York, The bill virtually reenacts the system which prevailed before the’ present one, - It, as a matter of course, abolishes the present Board of Edueation, its death being fixed after the new régime comes into play. Tho city isto be divided into seven districts, as follows:— First district—First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth and Eighth wards, Seventh District—Seventh, Tenth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards, ‘Third District—Ninth and sifteenth wards.

Mr. HUSTED, (rep.) of Westchester, rose to a question of privilege, and called attention to several articies published in the New York Times charging him with compiiotty in the frauds in turnisbing gravel to the Central Park Commisston- ers, He then proceeded to rehearse the proceedings had in regard to furnisuing gravel for the Central and Prospect Parks. Sevetal companies hag been formed, and among others one with which he was connected; but that company having failed to pay its expenses it w: Olssolved, Then he, in conjunction with Mr. Frear, leased several gravel banks was that (he Park Oom- Missioners were obliged to purcaase their gravel, agit was i ty and stich as they needed, They took (im Tois was the whole story, and if it was vot @ purely b did not know what was, He bed With the Park Commissioners on the subsest, have had thoir patronage if they could bave y wanted elsewh deed, they never d the gr omplicity in iter, aad if aby one doubted this a investigation ordered and on would bie p be happy to ie.

THY NEW YORK GRAND JURY QUESTION, The committee fook up the Lill providing for Sessions Grand Juries for Oyer aud Top tugs and for General Ses- sions of Peace Courts In New York at the same time. Mr. ALVORD was opposed to the bill, on the ground that it opene a door to contlicting action by thétwo Grand Juries acting at one and the same time, He suggested that the bill be so Amended as to have the two juries act !n conjunction, Frevent any con‘Mict, He clied cases where an ind/cte tbe Found by one jury and dismisset by the other. Mr, SMITH, (rep.) of Albany, said when the bill was up be- fore it was conceded that it should be amended, and he prepared an amendment and moved it, The amendment made provision that when one Grand Jury has acted upon @ matter before it the other should not act upon tt. Mr. PRINOR, (rep.), of Queens, thought that (his amend ment would utterly destroy the efect. aimed at by the bill, ifthe amendment {8 adopted a party charge with great an go before one Grand Jury and have himsclt in ate This Wes up at once she other Grand Mr. Sarva replied that the same objection applied to the criginal bill, A party might be indicted by one Grand Jury for murder; then the other could follow with an indictment me case of mere assault, aud the last indictment supersedes the former, Ie had, he sald, endeavored to ausist the gentleman (Mr. Prince) in perfecting this bill, and he be- Heved this amendment was the best way to do it, ir. HAWRINS moved a further amendment that no two Grand Juries shail take cognizance of the same mater, Mr. Surat anid If this wasadopted it would leave open the opportunity to party to sctect his Grand Jury, and thus get Precedence. Mr, Hawkins’ amendment was lost, and Mr. Smith's was lopied, Mr, TWOMDLY, (rep,) ot New York, regarding this an im- portant matter ‘and deserving of ’ further consideration, moved that the committee rise and report prowess. | Lott, The committee then rose and tbe bill was ordered to a third inquest being taken reading.

He was in favor of 9 rectyanization for the city of New York, but ae 2 thé inferest of one parly or the other, brings thé question before the committee, one bili nee in, ore set of men to pay these claims, and the other brings in another, He was in favor of th bill which would bring immediate reifef to the creditors of the city, The origina! bill kaye no new power to the Comp. troller, eqeept in fasuing the bonda. It ia already his duty, and he bas the power to make these payments. He stated that ff the substitute was not adopted he had an amendment which he would offer, and which restricted the Comptroller to paying on'y such’ claims as were authorized by law. He repented he had no interests to subserve in this matter. ‘This Was a question which both parties could stand sida by aide on, Let the Comptroller be authorized to pay these claims. Let him pay auch cs are authorized by law and aone others, and let kim issue theso bonds, That was all there was ot ‘this question. He appealet to members to remember that thoy were legislating on matters of great in- terest to the citizens of the metropolis, and he called upon them to act without regard to party. Let us, he sald, after- wards give them a charter under which they can live and prosper and enjoy the privileges of telf-povornment. Mr, AL-VoRD.(rep.) of Onondaga, auld he was opposed to any government for the city of New York which does not ive the citizens full control of their own affairs; but, said ¢, we have waited long and anxiously, and yet have seen no charter here. No action has as yet been taken in that direction, Knowing that there ia great aiversity of opinion as to the form of government that city should have, it will be lon; before we can perfect such a charter as should be passed. In the meantime, from January to April there will be immediate wants and he to met, an wanted such action taken now as would relieve the Legisia- ture from being called upon day after day for relief. He called attention to the extraordinary position affairs ‘were in. This bi'l was part and parcel of (a bill which was intro: duced on the frat day of the session, and whicd contained Rowers, granted to one man Which | were. almost ictatorial, ‘Those powers were eliminated from that bill 4 then we all voted for it. | Now we have another, and we will have another and another un- | til the charter fg passed, Wat do we hero in this substitute sat? eeener We wate oP ne pte Of the oud faith of the | man stan’ at the hea: the, Financo Department, bus That there being tinee eh at hig position holding equaly | the confidence of the People; the! ould pass upon these | Secounis, | Adopt, this original bill and we show that hy we put Hot trust in the hands of» republican, He deprecated any | Political distinction on either side in thi Rot done anyibing of that sort and yet we ses two of our eacing public jourpals presenting the spectacle of making tone mesa Tature to do what it can apes bh the standard Sistecar ae other ing of war and declaring that our ion here on the bill would be the for reform, the teat of our sincerity and calling on members here to beware how they voted or they woul be classed among their enemies. Though this would not | swerve bim from the pursuit of the strict line of his duty, he called attention to it to show the extreme such matters a: carried to, “He sald the matter should be ao. managed tha no party should secure an advaotage. He announced that if the substitute was adopted he would move an amendment that this Board of Andit shall meet in open neasion, so that allcan see that everything is done in decency and order. ‘There were words whfch seemed to give almost unlimited power to this one man, Mr. H, SMiTH—State them. Mr. ALVORD—Rea‘ a section of the bill, Mr. H, 8M1TH—And with this amendment (holding in his hand ) his powers will be restricted. Mr. AL.vorp still insisted that the power was tn the bill nevertheless, Mr. NILFS, (rep.) of Westchester, rose to a point of order, and objected to the interruption of Mr, Alvord, ‘Mr. ALVoRD said he was willing to answer any questions, but not when put in an imperious manner, The CHark ruled Mr. Smith out of order. Mr. ALvorp said he was not a schoolboy here, and consid- ered himself the peer of bis associates, He would say what he had to say, and let any one anawer, if he saw fit to rise in his place and’do 80, He then repeated that the original bill gave altogether too mnuich power to one man.

From Bleecker to Spring street there are, it 19 certain, about three hundred abandoned and wretched fomaies engaged in these dens of vice known to ihe publicas “concert saloons.” Tne proprietors of. thesé holes are without exception thieves, burglars and enriched pickpockets, Theft and robbery are nightly occurrences in these ‘sa loons,’ and violence is often allied to the other out rages on public morals. During the last twelve monvhs this evil has grown to almost gigantic Proportions, until respectable men and women have found it impossible to pass these deny going or coming from a theatté Without being insulted grossly by the miasmatic scoundrels who hold the relation of “lovers” to these poor, aban- doned women, many of whom are compellea to adopt this mode of life by dire necessity and the circumstances of their early education and training. Right under the eyes of the poitce authorities this | terrible scandal nas been yisible for a year, and nothing has been done by them to abate it until last evening, when sixty-cight concert saloon waiter girls were arrestea, together with three or four of the managers and proprietors of the dens. The girls were found in all these places dressed in “tights,’? somewhat in the fasion of the amazons of the “Black Crook.” Gaudy and obscene pictures and temptations of the vilest nature are the only inducements held forth to enter these places, and yet night after might gray- heired men, many of whom = are supposed to nold respectable positions in saciety, may be found here sipping beverages at double the rates charged in an ordinary drinking saloon, Boys, too, of a tender age, seduced by the glare and Neentious glitter of these cevil’s traps, some of whom have the bloom and fresnness of green fields on their cheeks, with fond mothers waiting pa- tlently for their return to their homes, may be seen side by side with these painted harlots spending the money which they have filched from their employer# tills. ‘The barkeepers are ras- cals, and the young men, with villanous brows and dyed mustaches, who hang around the concert saloons in a scmi ‘but not very well concealed obscurity, are only too ready to plunder and rob such Jads and foolish graybeards as those enumerated above, Music, which tg so often perverted to the basest purposes, 1s a seduction which few resist. while walking Bisco" ho and 1 rhe 9 men cater these Places 3 would no! new the perlis jare the. thienkold of @ con- cert sa'oon. wretoned girls employed in these places recefve no fixed compensation for the service of furnishing beer and whiskey to the cusiomers, but instead they recelve a percentage on the sale ot drinks, agd in addition a secret purchase of illicit passion, winked at by the proprietors of tne saloons> The receipts of such a’place as the infamous “Canterbury” saloon amounts for the sale of drinks and cigars {to over six hundred dollars a night, and the profits by the girls individaully 13 not over six to twelve dollarsa week. The Can. terbary, Oriental aad assembly rooms were closed by the police last eveuing, and all the girls atiend- ing in them were arrested and taken fo the Four- teenth precinct station house in Spring street, where their names were taken and registered in the police books. ‘This woruing all these wretched girls, nine-tenths of whom are under twenty-one years, wili appear before Judge Dowling at the Tombs Police Court, and will be probably unished by being sent on tne isiand for any period nat the magistrate may see fit to determine—per- haps from toirty days to three months, But what | shall be said of the scoundrels who keep thes? places, which are more dangerous to the puvlic than ag hospital or alazaretto? Will they be allowed to go forth again and to engaye in their infamous business? They are guilty seveniold and have sinned too deeply to be permitted to set up new business in the glare of the gaslight.

Some of them have miserable husbands, whom, they stated, yielded them no support whatever, whlié others gave subsistence to children from the earnings of shame. But a work has been done so far, and the unfortunates who promised last night that the would never again enter a concert saloon may be taught by the hard lesson which they will receive this morning that high sounding names like ‘Mor- timer” and “Howard” will not prevent the strong arm ofthe law from clutching tnem by the throats and consigning them to stone walls and silent cells, THR POLICE MOVEMENT, At a quarter past nine o'clock Jast night Captain Mount, of the Fourteenth precinct, having all his forces ready, started for the scene of action, HO ‘was reinforced by Sergeant Douglas from the Sixtu precinct with twenty-two men, and the entire force of police that started for the raid amounted to flty-eight, On leaving the station house Sergeant Sanders, of the Fourteenth pretiuct, commanded ihe Tight wing, With sixteenmen.
