Nothing of special import ance way done In either house, butea considerable amount / of routine business was transacted, Among {ihe new bills presented in the Senate were some of general interest and some affecting more particularily the people of New York city. A d/l introduced by Mr. Tiemann proposes to transi¢r the powers and duties of the Kegents of the University to the Superintendent of Pubite In- struction, It provides that on the Ist of July, 1872,, the Superintendent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the Regents, so far ag they relate to the ‘universities, colleges, academics, seminaries, common schoois, normal schools and other schools of this State. All the school property in the hands of the Regenis 1s to pe transferred to the Superin- Vendent, and the custody of the cabinet of natural hwstory and of the agricultural museum to be given ve the trustees of the State Capitol. Tne object of the bill 1s to secure a more energetic administration @f educational affairs than we have haa under the Regents. Of course, the bill provides that whilo the Superintendent shall practically take the place of the Regents, he shall not have power to confer egrees, grant charters nor legalize corporations of ‘any kind, REFORM IN OUR POLICE COURTS. Mr. Benedict presented a bill providing for the re- « Moval of the present Police Justices of the city of : New York and the appolotment of others by the Justices of the Supreme Court, According to the SWeeping sectiona of this act the terms of office of ‘the present Police Justices and of all the clerks and Officers appointed by them shall expire in twenty days after the date of its passage, and then the ma- ebinery of the crimmal courts will be placed In the hands of ten Police Jus- tices, to be meanwhile appoimted by tho Justices of the Supreme Court elected at the | last election, The salaries of the new Police Justices 4s to be $7,090 per annum, and their term of office 4s mtended to be ten years, However, the ten first to be appointed are to determine among themselves by lot which two of them shall hold oflice for each of the respective terms of six, seven, eight, nine and ten years; and when tuese terms respectively shall expire ihe Mayor 18 empowered to appoint two successors, Who shall hold ofice for ten years. ‘There are incluved in tue bili some provisions touching # revival of the original powers of the Court 0: Special Sessions, excepting, however, that ail appointments whicn’ the act empowered the Court to make shall be made by the Board of Police Justices stead of by the Cuart. TWO COURTS OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Another biil With reference to tne Court of Gen- eral Sessions, introduced by Mr. O’Brien, simply provides that the Kecorder or City Judge may order @ douvle session Of that Court, to open on the tirst Monday of each mouth whenever in tne jndgment of either of them the accumuilauon of crimmal business renders sucn double session necessary; and confirms ihe resolutions of the Hoard of Super: visors passed in December, 1867, lucreasing the sal- oe of the City Judge and Recorder, the legality of which is questioned. A biil presented by Mr. Robertson proposes to in. corporate what 1s called ‘THE AMERICAN IMPROVEMENT COMPANY,’? but the names of the incorporators have not yet ween inserted. It 18 understoud, however, that a uumber of well known New }ork merchants and capitalists Intend to invest some of tnetr surplus fands in the experiment.

Wath all the corruption charged upon the city of New York no such baseness was ever heard of there, He stated that this gentleman from Oswego was estopped from opposition to this bill, He lately voted for minority representation in New York city, and this bill only recognized ma- Jorivy representation. No matter tf a majority of thereleclors did vote for bonding the town the mi+ Rority must be protected. ‘The motion to refer pack ‘was lost, and the bill passed. THE SEVBNTY'S CHARTER DISCUSSED, The Committees on Cities of the Senate and As- “sembly heid a joint meeting in the Senate Chamber this evening for tae purpose ol hearing arguments ‘upon the New York city charter, There was a large atrendance of persons in favor of and op. posed to the Committee of Seventy’s measare. Among those represenung the Committee of Seventy were John Waheeler,) Simon Sterne, ex-Governor Salomon, Joseph Biumethatl H. M. Beers, Thomas McClellaa and ©. H. Watrous, Mr. Leo C. Dessar, Mr. Glaubenskite and Dr. Gerke represented the German Reloria assootation, and Stephen H. Olin the Citizens’ Association. ‘Alder. man Falconer and Assistant Aldermen Connor and Schwartz, Deputy Comptrolier Strahan and many ors Were in attendance on behalf of various other interests, Mr. Glaubensklee, in behalr ef the'‘@erman Reform Association, offered a few remaras of a general naaire in support of the new cnarier, He gave way to Mr, Leo C. Dessar, who read ‘the address or memorial of the German Assoctation, signed by Oswald Ottendorfer, the president. Mr. Glaubens- klee resumed, aud presented bis views as to ex- penses lor improvements and incurring debts. HARD UPON POSTERITY. Posterity, he said, should reap the benefits of the one and incur the obligations of the other. Then Mr. Dessar again took the floor, and said that he appeared ‘before the committee m behalf of no _ party, but es a represen. tative of the German Reform Association. He claimed that 32,000 Germans had voted for the members of the committee whom he addressed, and were therefore entitled to some consideration at their hands. He proceeded to read a carelully pre- pared written speech. He claimed that one of the serious faults of the oid system was the appoint- Ment of incompetent and corrupt men to offictal positions. He was in favor of a longer lien of office, of appointing or electing compeient, honest Inen, who should hold ofMice :for-s term o! pained or during good behavior in some cases. Me briefy @iscussed the financial provisions of the charter and was OPPOSED TO ISSUING BONDS having long time of payment. Dr Gerke, who was the next speaker, said the principle of minority representation was approved by the com- mittee, He deemed tt a great reform. It was one of the best means of preventing repeating and cheat- ing at the ballot box. He approved of cumulative voting, of permittung an elector to vote one or more times, not more than nine for the same pariy. This system, he said, like most other reforms, should be tried thoroughly. Mr. OLIN was the next speaker. He sala he represented THE CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION, and that he appeared before the committee with great reluctance tn opposition to the charter ofthe Committee of Seventy. 1b was true masa tarde Meeting in| New York had _ endorsed the charter,. but it was very easy thing to ge a large meeting in New York. His association at their last meeting haa proposed some seventeen important amendments, some of which he stated, fe thought the Committee of Seventy, in their anxiety to obtain mimority repre- sentation, had lost sight of some of the important safeguards requisite for @ municipal govern- ment. He thought the organization of the Legislative Department was faulty. The ma- jority would hereafter elect the same class of men that they had in the past, le opposed the aystem of only one board of legislation. Here at Albany two branches are very properly re- tamed. A new class of oficers every year was ulso objectionable. He said that the proposed charter divided the city government into five departmenta, but with general responsible heads, to hold oMice only one year. ‘The time was too short to be of real value or service to the public. The services of ex- erienced men would be lost. Another objection- able feature was the power of removal from office by the Mayor. Since this charter was first pub- lished it had been changed, particolarly as to the tenor of the Fire Department and Police Depart- Ment, It had been lengthened and the departments unitea, This was A HAZARDOUS EXPERIMENT, ‘The old Police Department nad been @ model for the other cities of the country. He alluded to the ——_ Board of Health as highly serviceanie. inder the proposed charter it would sink into a bureau. Ho deprecated the consolidation of the Department of Docks and Public Works. ‘Those Who established tho Department of Docks would protest against its bemg broken down. Any at- tempt to consolidate the Dock with other depart- ments would work great injury. He desired that the new charter should give the city of New York a chance to try the principle of civil service reform, As it is all power 4s given to the Board of Alder- men, & most dangerous project, which had been tried and failed. Various departments and powers have been taken from the Common Council, advan- tageousiy, as he believed. The robberies in New York had been committed in and by means of the Common Council, After Mr. Olin concluded the committee adjourned until to-morrow afternoon. TH EVENING SESSION OF THE ASSEMBLY was, like the morning session. devoted mainly to the third reading of bills, Tne House adjourned at an early hour, in order to attend an entertainment [oe to the members of the Legisiature at the Al- any Club this eveniog. The Committee on Rail- roads of the Asseuibly, which yesterday decided to report in favor of the pro va/a Ratiroad Freight bill, reconsidered their determination this mornibg and concluded to give the subject further constderation. FAILURE OF W. BENNETTS FERRY BILL, Betore the adjournmentof the Assembly the bill Which was introduced by Mr. Morton, of Kings, re- ducing the rates of ferriage on George Law’s lerries, running between New York and Np aed 4 failed on its tinal passage by 9 vote of thirty-six it favor to fifty-eight against it. Tne whole delega- ton irom Kings county voted for the passage of the bill, while Mesers.

A large delegation of the Committee of Ninety on Rapid transit, from New York, appeared before the Joint Committee on Ratiroads and presented their views in relation to the most feasible plan. Edgar F. Brown stated that the committee nad devoted considerable time to the investigation, and a large majority of the members had arrived at the conclu- sion that the Central Underground road was the most judicious and desirabie plan, ana D. Brown, mbers, Vavidson, Dunphy, Eastman: ton, Herrick, Hill, Hollister, Houghton, ) Knapp, Lincoln, G. P. Lord, Lough: Moore, Moulton, Murdock, Paice, Rove, Sage, Shevardson, Simeon, smith, 8 urged upon the committee we importance of the passage of the pro amendment to that company’s charter, changing its route so as to allow the building of the road under Broadway; that nearly four million doliars nad been subscribed to build the road by pertectly responsible citizens of New York, one-hal! the amount being pledged by large reat estate owners on Broadway, aud tat he nad been assured that the balance would be forthcoming immediately upon the passage of the bill amending the enarter; that nine-tenths of the property owners in that street were in favor of this road; that he had no confideace in the passage of any charter creating a commission aud cailing upon the — city for any part of the expense of construc- Yon; that there was no project bvelore the Legislature of so much importance vo the cluizens of New York as speedy communication between the Battery and Harlem River, and that, in tis judg- meut; the object would be certainly attained by the passage Of tae proposed amendment to the charter of the Ventral Underground Railroad Company. Messrs, Daly and Fales spoke to the same effect, and Mr. Towusend advocated the bill aypointin: commissioners, which he had previously advocate before the committee, This was the tinal hearing upon this matter, | At its conclusion the Commis; ion Wenw Into executive sess! cra ir ive session, and agreed, by a TO REPORT THE BEACH PNEUMATIC TUNNEL BILI. This decision of tbe Joint committee bas created @ great deal of excitement among the wire-pullers Who have been working so hard daring the session for the success of the rival schemes. ‘The geveral Impression among the Knowing ones, unui re- cently, was that tue committee would ‘make no report at all, but simply ask the two houses to Tee eve them trom the consiaeration ot tne sabject. ‘This certainly would have been avery nice way of getting out of the dificuity, put, ater several of the members had “sounded” their fellow memvers who were rot members of the eommuitte, was ascertained that a report ot some kind or nother was — essential, How, therefore, to get out of the dimiculty was the great question, ‘This evening the committee provea themselves fully equal te Lhe occasion. Mr, Madden, ibe chairman, put the question to the particular aa- vocate of each scheme as to whether or not he de- sired to press his bill, Every one but the repre- sentative of the Beavh scheme replied that nis backers had no desire to “press,” as they had made @ coalition with all the advoc: of the plans op: posed to What of the Beach scheme managers, This once considered as a fait accompli, Whe only course left to ihe committee was to decide vetween tue Keach pian aad that of the coaliuonists, and they Anaily DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE BEACH PNEUMATIC MGs the latter were given the privilege of running a | power to meumatic tube under any streets they saw fit in Rew York. They made a test of their *idea’’ by un- dermining Broadway, trom Warren to Barclay street, and then had to stop, Last year they en- deavored to get a bill trough authorizing them to run ® passenger railroad underground, The bill assed both houses, but was vetoed by the Governor, fe preferring the viaduct pian. It now remains to be seen if the underground plan, alter all, 1s to solve the great rapid transit problem. Whether the de- cision of the jot committee will find favor with both houses and the Governor 13 & question which wii cause no small amount of lobbying for some, f - ume to come. : THE DRUG BILL was discussed before the Committee 0”, Paditc Health of the Assembly this afternoon. ofessor Doremus and Dr. O'Leary were presen’, {ny pehalf of the existing Board of Examivera, Ghd a few unli- censed druggists from New York appared in arivo- cacy of the propggea bill. Dr. Joremus entered foto many interest ig details conrerning the opera- aon of the law du: the part wine months, and described the method of cor.ducting the examinas uons, especially with the ‘view of demonstratiny Jy Wil be remembered that bWoyears aga, the insuficiency of revious luws, an Whe tetal inadequacy Of the preposeil measure @ud the necessity ‘of continuing the present Commission, The Doctor arguea that the Proposed bill 1s radically defective, for ‘the reason Urat 1t contemplates placing tre administration of the law in the hands o! the very persons to whom the law should apply, and that in case of a conflict ‘of interest arising between the citizens of New York and the druggists the former would have no guar- antee that their case would be justly and impar- tually considered. If in reality the execution ol! the law was to be intrusted to the College of Pharmacy there pug not be so cogent an objection to its pas sage; but when it was considered that the College of Poarmacy, as figuring 1m the bill, 18 a very ulfferent matter from the College of Pharmacy proper, THE FALLACY AND FRAUD OF THE SCHEME, he satd, became really apparent. The College of Pharmacy, he argued, is @ useful and venerabie in- stitution, consisting of the professors, who are well known in New York, and the students now in at tendance; out these were not factors im the pro- posed bul. One of the professors—Dr. Squibb, or Brooklyn—had stated before the State Medical So- ciety that the proposed law was open to serious criticism, and the other professors took no part in the furtherance of the bill, These gentlemen, therefore, who represented the College of Phar- macy as an educationul institution, were not in any manner advocates of the proposed law; but the matter was, placed in totally different nands. Dr. Doremus went on to say there exists in the city of New York an association of druggists entitling themselves ‘MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE OF FHARMACY,'? the facile conditions of admission to which pocleny are that ihe applicant has had four years’ experi- ence in the drug business, bears a good moral char- acter and pays $5 per annum. ‘This is the College of Pharmacy as 1b ures in the bill, But thisisa glaring misnomer, The true intent and meaning of the College of Pharmacy is here entirely ignored, and the term is made synonymous and commensu- rate with the whole body of druggists in the city of New York. To these, therefore, the management of the law isto be entrusted. These mea will elect their own examiners, and what pleage have the people that their rights are to be considered ? Dr, O'Leary stated that the present law fulfilled all the essential and common sense conditions of a Pharmacy law by the provision which requires thac none bui those who have given abundant proof of their compereney, to continue their avocations will be allowed to practice pharmacy, and especially that no one will be permitted to put up a prescription without an attestation of such competency from the Board of Examiners. ‘The effect of a change, apart (rom its being uncalled for and unnecessary, would be to shake public confidence in the practical ulllity ef pharmacy legisiation and unao the good which had been done, The amount of labor per- formed by the Board was enormous, ag tne volu- minous records presented by the Secretary of the Board fully demonstrate, The gentlemen representing the new bill entered a vehement protest against the Board, as there are four practicing physicians on the committee; but tne remonstrance agalust a change of the law, being signed by such men as Van Buren, James R. Wood, the two Fiints, Thomas Addis emmet, Lewis A, Sayre Hammond, ex-United States Surgeon General stephen Smith, fT, G. Thomas, Bumstead, Willard Parker and oters, prominent physicians, the argu- ment of Professor Doremus is likely to have weight with the committee, THE FIGHT FOR ERIE. Disappointment at the Failure of the Committees to Report—Senator Wood on the Side of the Stockholders—Senator O’Brien’s Bill,with Amendments, to be Favorably Reported, ALBANY, March 6, 1872, Much disappointment was experienced here to- day because neither the Railroad Committee of the Assembly nor the Judiciary Committee of the Senate Presented reports to their respective bodies on the all-absorbing subject of the Ene Rall: road. It was universally belleved last night that both committees would report this Morning, because further delay would be considered not only dangerous but fatal to the rep- utation of those members of both committees who sustain the cause of the present management of the railroad. Mr. James Wood, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, has at last succumbed to the pressure of public opinion and has concluded to support the Repeal bili pre- pared by Mr. Southmayde and presented by Mr. O’Brien in the Senate. This determination was made known to-day and cousequently Mr. O'Brien refrained from introducing the resoiution which he made up his mind to introduce, to take the subject out of the hands of the Committee altogether. The Judiciary Committee held an executive ses. sion this afternoon (Mr. Allen, whois tll, being the || only member absent) to come to a final decision concerning the report which they would recom- mend to-morrow for adoption. SENATOR O’BRIEN’S BILL TO BE REPORTED FAVOR- ABLY. After considerable conversation they decided, unanimously, to report substantially in favor of Mr. O’Brien’s bill, with some amendments, which, how- ever, will not change its character materially. The repeal of the classification act will be inade to apply, not to the Erie rauroad ony, but to all the companies, and The report will recommend the retention of the pro- vision which prevents a director in the company from being a director in another. All the other material portions of the bill will be reported favor- ably, except the section which provides for de- positing the books of the Erie Company in the hands of a trust e¢ompany. Another amenament made by the committee provides that the Chief Justice of tne Court of Ap- Ppeals, without the Assistance of the Attorney Gen- eral, shall appoint the Inspectors of the clection for directors which shall take place in July, as pro- vided in the bill, THE OPPONENTS OF ERIE arein great glee this eveniug at the intelligence that the Judiciary Committee had unanimously agreed to report to-morrow in favor of the main features of Senator O'Brien's bill. The Raulroad Committee of the Assembly was to have had an executive meeting this evening, but the House being in session the meeting was postponed until an early hour to-morrow morning. Itis understood that no change in the position hitnerto assumed by the friends of the Erie Ring on that committee has heen actually effected, but it is believed that wnen the final vote comes to be taken at the secret meeting fixed for to-morrow morning the majority of its members wit!! be found to favor the Southmayde bill, which, with some amendments, 1s to be reported to the Senate. The friends of repeal assert that the delay of the Assembly committee in reporting argues favorabiy fo, the interests of the stockholders, because it is hoped that by to-morrow some members whose position has been shaken by the storm of public in- dignation may be induced to come over to the side of those who have all along been in the minority on the repeal question, Though every one was disap- pointed that the subject was not reported on to-day, it may be considered no longer doubtful that it will be out of the hands ef both committees before both houses to-morrow morning. The Repeal of the Erie Classification Act. {From the Albany Journal (republican oMctal or- gan) March 6.) ‘the Erle Classification law must be repealed. But the Legislature should go further, It should not merely repeal the Classification act, but 1t shouid make the most thorough and effective provision for (he full and free expression of the stockholders, ‘The repeal of the obnoxtous law will insure anew election, But that is not enough.
