Legislative Reform in Its Proper Aspect—The House of Detention Bill—Sectarian Appropria- tions—Receipts and Expenditures of the Brooklyn Ferry Company—Ring Ad. vertising—Vociferating Reformers to Rough It in New York. The Screaming Farce of the Erie Petitions. ALBANY, Feb. 8, 1872, ‘The fact that this is a “reform Legislature” is so often alluded to by various members of the Assem- Diy, it must be apparent to all that, without this drequent reminder, it 1s safe to presume the “reform” business would be entirely overlooked. The worthy legislators would seem to appreciate the truth of the idea that reform borders on Fevoluuon, and in their anxiety for peace at any price they keep as far as possible from Fevolution, and consequently at quite a distance from reform. But Mr. Prince, of Queens county, a jull of reform for the Assembly, and to- @ay very truthfully declared that reform shoula Degin with legislation itself, and to demonstrate that he delivered a narangae which, for length, strength and style, would put a Sunday sohool marm’s admonitional lecture or Madame Caudie’s most impressive curtained advice far in the ane. It was such gu admirable effort thay Old Rate france mv auvord gested that 100,000 copies of the speech verbatim #@hould be printed ana scattered broadcast over the entire country. The Prince wanted to have hia committee directed by the House 10 ascertain what REFORM IN THE LEGISLATION “were needed, and to report by bill or otherwise their Proposed remedy for existing evils, Mr. Prince, it ‘Will be rememberea, announced himself as candi- date for Speaker; but, as ho was supposed to feed on perfumed lozenges, it was feared he might be too Bweet ataiker, and be most disinterestedly with- drew so as not to obstruct Mr. Smith’s road, and to his evident astonishment found himself placed at the head of the Judiciary Committee, This is the committee to whicn is referred all the most im- Portant statutes and matters involving tech. Micalities which might be supposed to re- yUire clear neaas, keen perception and legat experience. In all these qualities the Committee of the Honse is sadly lacking. The selection of members for this committee, with one ‘or two exceptions, nas proved most unfortunate, Prince, the Chairman, is more fitted to be simply Ciass leader in some Methodist Sunday school than head of such an important commitiee. He lacks the dignity of presence, the force of character, the executive ability and the ciearness of intellect ‘Which should be possessed by a leader of the leading law branch of a “Reform” (1) Legislature. He bas associatea with him Mr. Strahan, of Orangef ‘Niles, of Westchester; Flammer, of New York; Hayes, of Onelia; Vedder, of Cattaraugus; Tobey, of Essex; Tilden, of New York, and Hul, of Chemung. ‘With the exception of Niles, Tobey and Vedder, Mone of these seem to have even a mediocre share Of the guaiifications above referred to. Strahan is 00 much a shadow of his cousin, who runs Comp- Aroller Green, to acquire individuality enough to be forcibie in himself. Flammer is more of a@ school- boy even than Prince, and whoj thinks he makes sacrifice enough in coming here four days in a week to take care of the public. Everybody knows Til. dea, but SAMMY HAS BEEN NEGLECTING HIS DUTIES, {and bas only been here three days since the session commenced, aud even then he dodged every vote that required a show of adherence to party. He gay be waiting to accompany Tweed }to this Goa- — place. i not, he should resign aad al- ww his coustituents to elect somebody that could and would represent them. hill will grow in strengtl and wisdom as he grows in years. He evidently bas foundation for a good lawyer, but his ‘upper structure is yet too fral to withstandl any at- tacks. He will be obliged to “anchor” the side walis of his mind and temper before he can expect 0 counteract any storms of Opposition, Hayes is ligat, bat not yet ashining light by any means. Tobey 18 pretty ciear-headed, out he 1s a very big young man and allows the Attorney Generali—who Wants to be king o/ the State—to run him too much, Niles is sharp, but he is too fond of bearing him- fell talk and having lis say on everything. eader 4s the only one Who Las said but litte and yer shown himself to be clear and “8 iid,” and be will undoubtedly make his Mark belore the session closes, Such, in brief, is the committee which acts as Grand Jury on behail of the greatest power man cau exercise over man—the power of legislauon—a Grand Jury of We entire Commonwealth to investt- te the character and oficial acts of Judges of the upre! Court of the State—the commitice to ‘whow all 8 of inquisitorial powers are granted, and to which the Attorney General now applies lor sancuion to lis outrageously amoitious idea ol ov- taining power by process of law to place him above the Supreme Court of the Stave and make him Braud “inquisitor General” against any corpora- by whose private busmess he may desire to ques- jon. Fortunate people of New York in having such an Assemvly of reformers! Forwunate Assembly in having such a commutiee, such a jury, of Par hans pape. “REFORMERS |”? ju! jallant reforuers are saving money to the State, Of course they are saving money imone Way, bat making preparations lo spend it in others, Numerous investigations are to be maie in the in- terest of “reforn and they will undoubtedly ran the bills up. The Committee on Privileges nd Elections is in New York ou the Killiane Frear case; the Committee ou Insurance go to New Yor« to spend money for the State in an attempt to settle a personal race between Thurlow Weed's relative -Mr. Barns—and Insurance Super- Intendent Miller, Then the precious Judiciary Committee have commisstons to ve Ww New York to investigate the conauct of Supreme Cours Judges, aud the business in the Register’s, Sherif’s @nd County Clerk’s offices. Then the Committee on Commerce and Navigation are to go to New York and examine into the affairs of the Pacitic Mail Steamship Company and the Quarantine Commission. These committees will, no doubt, run up some snug lite bills, but they will be in the anterest of reform. THE CANAL RING bave actively commenced operations, and already their “litte” () jobs are belug pushed forward, ‘The claims are cowing tn thick and fast, but are 80 micely worked that tunocent, church-like members @re given the work of introducing We bills, and ‘nen they are neatly managed sv tna they go here gad tuere, some to Canals, some to Commerce and Navigation, some to Claims, some to Ways and Means, some to any other place that may suit the powerlul combination that is now geiting sure hold on the Legisiature. Then, again, THE RAILROAD COMBINATION ‘will soon get to work, and the grand effort will De made <0 run up the fares on all the roads. Those peutions against legisiative interierence with the Management Of the Erie Railway still continue to jar in On the Legisiature, and to-day tney came Trou ail.quarters, The Erie people themselves have mot yet pul in an appearance, but they are expected here the beta 4 week, Oo Tuesday they are to appear belore the Assembiy Comuittee on Rail- Toads, on Weduesday teiore the Senate Committee, gud on Friday the Grand Jury of debavors—the dadiciary Committee of the Assembiy—are to ‘ive # hearing morning ana afternvon on siorney General Buriow’s bill, Some of the tors claim (hat tue petitions cameirom their uencies, with good names ou them, aud, although “not yet comiuittea’’ vogendorse ine peti- tous, they must preseut them.

BUPFO BROWN, one of the Browns of Cayuga, or, as some of une irreverent fellows hereavonts say, Brown of Ki00dle, Seems determined to make @ sensation, He un- doubtedly mace a sensation when he first appeared. Had tt been in the neighboraood of Darwin's abode that philosopher would nave been puzzied to trace the descent of man. But Brown wants continually todo something extraordinary. He endeavors 10 be humorous and witty, and as the members laugh almost unconsciously when be opens his mouth he seems to Imagine that he has mace a joke and that it has been appreciated. On the first day of the session he imtroduced a resolution which provides row amendment to the constitution so as to pro- SECTARIAN APPROPRIATIONS. It was laid over aod apparently forgotten until to-day, when the attendance was exceedingly small. He calied nis resolution up, and would nave stirred Up quite a Inss bad not the good sense of others pre- vVatled and sent the resolution to the Judiciary Com- mittee, It has been evident for some time that there 4s to be an attempt made to create a religious war- fare throughout the State, and this idea of com- mencing it in the nalls of legislation 18 petty and unbecoming, as many other things of which Brown is guilty, and for one of which he to-day received a Severe and merited rebuke. GEORGE LAW’S FERRY COMPANY Teported to the Legislature to-day tne receipts and expenditures and value of property owned, as called for by resoluwon passed last week. The report is as follows:— Receipts... Kxpenditires.

But, nevertheless, ho thought the only way to remedy the matter was to educate the people of the Slate up to the point of so amending the constitution that all local matters ‘shall be kept out of the Leyislature and be disposed of by Boards of Supervisors. r.

The bill to repeal the act passed Jn IS71 providing for, the printing of the ctty of New York was taken up in Committee 01 the Whoie, but on the motion of Mr. D. B. Hitt, who said that many members iuterested in action of this sort were ubsent, progress was reported. In the House Mr, HaW INS moved that the bill be ordered to the third reading. He moved this because the provision was one of the most infa: of Ring measures, us it re- quired every lawyer to give h's advertising to the newspaper known as the 7/anscript, which was the organ of the King. Air. ALVORD asked if the gentieman wanted the House adjourned at this thme, as te yeas and nays would certainly be'cailed for, and there being no quorum bis motion could not ve carried, and the House would be adjourned. Mr. HAWKINS sald be certainly did not want to do any- thing which would produce that resuit. Mr. D. B. HILL sud be would call the yeas and nays. Mr. HAWKINS then withdrew his motion, and the House adjourned until Monday evening at half-past seven o'clock, A TUG RACE. Fast Time—Over Twelve Miles an Hour, {From the Boston Journal, Feb. 2.) For some time past there hus been @ great deal of talk among the large number of persons attachea to the steamtug service in Boston harbor as to the Salling qualities of two of the finest boats in the business—the L. A. Belknap and the Elsie. Both are what are known as outside boats, as, when intel- sigeuce ts received of large vessels approaching the harbor, they go down the bay to secure the prize, aud in many instances the Belknap and Elsie have both endeavored to obtain the same vessel. This Tivairy has attracted attention to the two boats, aud a8 the Elsie bas come off the victor tn several ol these impromptu races, tt led at length to the perfecting of arrangements for a bona pde contest lor @ purse of $100 @ side, the course being down the hurbur to Bell Buoy and return, a distance of twenty-four miles. The race Came off yesterday afternoon, the boats slarting Irom a point of Commercial what!, mid- way between the city proper and Kast Boston, they being moored to the tug Curiew, upon which were stationed the judges—Messrs. James Martin, Bibridge Martin and Charies a. Hayden. One of the articles Of the race restricted each tug toa steam pressure of seventy-five pounds, and, to see that this was faithtully adhered to, each boat car. ried an experienced engineer ig the interests of lueir oppooent, Mr. John Long accompanied tne Leiknap and William Peters the Elsie, The start wus made al two o’ciock, at which time the wharves in the viciuity, Which afforded a gvod opportunity jor witnessing the imitial portion of the con- lest, were turouged with spectators, wuile at least a dozen tugs steamed mither and Uutther, ‘The water, for @ qinter’s day, was Caim almost as atoll pond, At a single sound of the Whistle of Lue Curiew tne race began. The compet- ing boats cast off their lines at precisely two o'clock, aud as they gradually ootained bead way tne excite- ment among the spectators was consideravie, Heavy clouds of smoke rolled ap from the smoke- stacks of the competing tugs, tokens of the activity among the employes of the two boats, The start Was al even oe, putas the bouts, which kept well over toward East Boston, approached the fats the Belknap slowly took tue lead, and finally gained a position directly in tront of the Elsie, giving that bug her back water. Of Governor's Isiand, near Buoy No, 12, the Belknap had increased ner lead to nine lengths, and at Buoy No. 6 sne was some fifteen Jengths to the front. ‘ine ume to thls point was twenty-five minutes, The Belknap passed Nix’s Mate ity secouds ahead of une Elsie, ana at the Bell Buoy, Harding’s Leauge, some three mlles below Hoston Light, which was tne turn- ing point in the race, the Belknap Was one minute and twenty-five seconds ahead, her ume from tne start being fifty-nine minutes. On the return tue tugs maintained about the same relative positions, aud the Beikoap reached the starting point at two Minutes Of four, oue hour aud Hfy-elght minutes from the time Of starting, the Klste coming in tl minutes iater, Thus ended this novel aquauc race, tue Hirsi, we believe, that has transpired in Boswn harbor, and although wot so eciting asa race Where the boats are propelled by men of wind and muscie, Was yet # very successful affair, ‘3 THE BOATS.

Dex- ter, sougut substantial damages at the hands of a very respectavie jury for the failure of a master bricklayer, pamed Andrew Monroe, to make good his promise of marriage.

A gentleman then, apparently wishing to signalize the sufferance of his presence in the meeting _y mfict- ing on 1tan oMcious interterence in the proceedings, moved that they be free and public. He was inter- rupted and silenced by loud aisapprobation. A delegate said that the gentleman who had made the motion had no right to be present, not being @ member of the committee, and he moved that all those who were not delegates be respect- fully requested to retire.

Monheimer, ‘THE SENTIMENT OF THE DEMOCRACY, The following address was then read and adopted unanimously:— We congratulate our fellow citizens that the democratic party of tae city of New York has been ofjctally reorganized on the broad bas! in strict conformity to the usages of the part; thi in at , and that 4 stands pleaged to reform all the abuses which have cre 4 into the administration of public affairs, and to enforce the eevee of honesty and economy in all public expendi- ures, Deriving our authority directly from the democratic voters of this ony we of right assert ourselves to be true exponents of the wishes of the democratic party of the city of New York, and as such we demand of the ture @ charter Wich anal recognize the rights of the neople | of the city to manage their municipal affairs free from the intervention of legislative commisaioners and all other devices contrived to nullify the popular will, and by which the direct responsi- bility of office-holders to the peopie 18 evaded, and our inter- eats the prey of scheming intriguers, having no desire but to fatten on the misfortunes of the people. PAY FOR THE POOR CITY EMPLOYERS, While we earnestly condemn and denounce the extrava- jee and corruption which have cl the expendi- ures of nearly every department of the c ty government and insist that the rators of these outrages be brought to deserved punishment we also deplore the great hardships which have thereby been brought on the laborers and subor- dinate officials, who have thus, through no fault or miscon- duct of their own, Leen reduced to the extremity of want and suffering, and we insist that their claims shall be the first paid out of the funds which the Legislature has recently authorized to be raised by the city. THE DEMOORATIO PARTY las RESPONSIBLE FOR THE The democratic party is in no wise responsible for the fact that, while the Treasury was seemingly exhaustless during the reign of the Tammany Ring, for the payment of fraudu: lent and fictitious claims, it is now empty when bona fide claims are presented; and we insist that those con- tractors whose claimsare fairand honest and untainted with fraud (the city having receive ' the full benefit of their work) should not be unnecessarily delayed in obtaining from the city that which is lawfully and honestly their due and for the payment of which provision has been made, 80 that they may in thelr turn be able to pay the thousands of honest workingmen to whom they are indebted, and whose families are autfering for the necessaries of life in the very depth of inter. While reaffirming our devotion to the essentiai principles of democracy, we recognize the fact that the Presidential election of this year must exercise a controlling influence over the destinies of our country, and we therefore hold it to be the duty of the American people to rise on this occasion fabore all mere patty considerations tion from which the d viz., the perniciot wer; the creation and extension of monopolies, which hreaten to introduce 1n our midst a slavery worse and more dangerous than that which has been abolished with 80 many saeritices ; the continuance of a policy of vengeance to satisty the cormorants of power; the shameless avuse of control of party machinery; all our public offices and by h publi to promote the projects of and ambitious men, may be carefully and wisely con- ind to this end we invite the co-operation of all men who cherish our free institutions and who are determined that the government shall be faithfully, honestly and econo- mically administered, THE TAMMANY SOCIETY, Mr. H, I, CLINTON Offered the following resola- tions asa secret organization, composed alike of demo- republicans (whose members are elected for life, and reside in ali parts of the United States, known as the Tammany Society or Columbian Order, on a’memorable oc- casion, almost at the inception of the democratic reform movement, in a despotic manner, by means of brute torce, prevented the assembling of.the General Commuttec, and thus STIFLED THE VOICE OF THR DEMOCRATIC PARTY, which otherwise would have been heard through the com- mittee, in denunciation of the inignitous provisions of the present charter, which enabled the Tammany Ring to per} trate the stupendous frauds that have caused the civilized world to stand aghast with amazement ereas through the instrumentality of this secret organization gigantic frauds and crimes have well nigh laid in ruins the democratic arty in this city and State, and throughout the United Rtavas; and whereas this secret Order have fromtime to time, jow, put for and do 00% Pe TE MONSTROUS PRETENCE that the Democratic General Committee shall be respon- aible in party discipline and in party matters generaily, not to the democracy that elected them, but to the sachems or Doard of directora of this secret organization, DENUNCIATION OF TAMMANY. Resolved, That the Tammany Society or Columbian Order is undemocratic, dangerous to the liberties of a iree people ‘aud toymical to the institutions of a republican government. ‘Resolved, That the democracy owe no allegiance of any kind whats to the Tammany Society or Columbian ‘Order, and Ul y attempt on the part of its Sachems to organize or reorganize, or to supervise or control in any ‘way the democratic party in this city will be regarded as A PIECE OF UNPARALLELED IMPUDENCR, to which no democrat having any self-respect will submit, ‘The democratic party spurns its authority and regards with indifference its impotent attempts to force or cajoie the Ge moeracy into selecting a8 piace of permanent abode the spot which will hereatter be remembered only as TUR GRAVEYARD OF THE TAMMANY RING. Resolved, That inasmuch as the Tammany Society or Co- Jumbiaa Order has violated its charter, which limits its da- ties to deeds of benevolence-to making provision for the indigent and distressed—and inasmuch as it bas been in the past and may be again used to clothe with power an IRRESPONSIGLE, UNSORUPULOUS, DECAYED OLIGARCAY, odious to the masses of the democratic party and the com: munity generaliy, th arm of the law should be in- nil iis charter aunuled, so as to pre apon the democracy and its depredatio city Treasury, whether by means of fraudulent armory Jeases or otherwise. It should be rendered in the future as powerless Lor evil as it is now for good. “DONT FOR.” Resolved, That any pretended Democratic General Com- mi‘tee tuat shall organize under the auspices of the Tam- many Society or Columbian Order, of in any Way submit to ite dictation, control or supervision, will be regarded by the racy as hostile to democratic principles and the inter- of the democratic party. Mr. CouRnTNEY moved In amendment that the resolutions be presented to the Legisiature at al- vany, and they were thus passed without opposition, A DELEGATE STABBED. The committee then adjourned, ‘The feeling about contested seats, however, Was lot altogether amica- bie and the crowd lingered in the hall for along time engaged in excited discussion. One delegate ‘wus stabbed in the face, but the coniusion was such that the assailant was not Known, and he said that he could not recognize him if he shouid see him, He was not badly hurt, and only a few persons near him knew of the occurrence, On the whole, how- ever, the meeting waa very Harmonious, tor though the builies were present Uley were outuumbered by the vetier-minded, OCEAN STEAMERS.

We copy from the Hornellsvilie (N. Y.) Times the following particulars in regard to the serious accl- dent which occurred in that village last Friday evening:— A serious accident occurred last Friday evening at the bullding 126 Canisteo street, while the auction sale was in eae of the millinery goods of Miss 1. H, Thurber, The room was densely crowded, gad the weight was too much for the floor, Wich gave way, precipitating into the cellar the entire company, together with the counter and fixtures 01 the shop, and @ coal stove, m which a hot tire was bi . ‘Lhe scene which ensued was for a few moments most appalling. ‘The burning coals from the stove set fire to the clothing of those near it, and at one time it seemed that the building would burn With all entombed beneath tt, ‘tne occupants of the adjoining houses commenced removing their goods, and the alarm of fire became general. The flames were quickly extinguished, however, and the occupants of the cellar as promptly rescued from their perilous position. Some were quite se- verely injured, many were burned, many were bruised and ail were thoronghly irightened at the horrible fate which ior @ ume seemed imminent. It was @ fortunate circumstance that ume rooms Were lighted by gas, and that the norrors of buraing Kero-ehe Were not added to the calamity. ‘The accident Was suiticiently serious as it was. So many perso: 9 thrown into @ deep cellar in one struggiing, horror-stricken heap, and with the clotning of many of them on fire, itis @ wonder seni seree Were not more broken limbs and other in- Mars. Edward Shafer was the most serlousiy in- Jured, Both lintbs were broken, and it is feared that she suffers trom internal imuries, Mrs, M. W. Hawley received an ugly wound in the scalp. Mrs, *. M. Cronkrite had buth ankies sprained, Mrs. J, B. Cross had an ankle sprained, and the following Bamed were more or less bruised jennie Hagadorn, Mrs. Hiram Hendershot, Mrs. Talmadge, Miss Lizzie Conaerman, Miss Donahue, Mrs. Pen- ston and many others,who went immediately home, and whose names we are unable to obtain. Dr. J. W. Robinson reports the first seven named above, who are under his care, as doing well. No account is made of whe damages to property and clothing, or of articles of clothing lost, as all were thankful that they escaped as well as they did, FALLING OF A Funeral Congregation and the Corpse Fall Into a Cellar, The Elmira (N. Y.) Advertiser, of February 2, says:—Yesterday afternoon the funeral of Elieu Grady took place at the house of Joun McNevins, on Railroad avenue, near First street, As the corpse was about to be carried out the floor of the room gave way and precipitated some forty or fifty of those assembled into the cellar, 4 distance of six feet, togetuer with the farnivurd of tha xoom and corpse. Considerable excitement ane Confusion the c) im no ti i exh ine pralag os injury resulted to any one, the wrist of O18 wom: @ slight cut on the face of another. It are Mnarkable that so exciting an accident could occur and be attended with such litte damage and in- jary. After extrcating the people from the cellar the funeral proceeded without further accident or remarkable incident, SHIPPING NEWS.
