"THR STATE CAPITAL, Excitement Among the Lobbyists Over the Wood Committee Revelations. THE OLD WIREPULLERS IN A TREMBLE, What Wood Intends to Do and What His Friends Say. — A Vindication Before the Sen- ate or Resignation. The Legislature Adjourned to Monday Evening. ALBANY, March 16, 1872, ‘The session of both houses to-day was, as 1s al- ‘ways the case on Saturdays, stale, fat and unprofit- able. The fact is, the New Yorkers and others who Mve over ahundred miles from the capital don’t relish the idea of having no week day in town, and @o they take the adjournment bull by the horns, and, despite the beseeching of the few individuals who really do want to stay over on Saturday, so that the dear people may be benefitted by their wise | @oings and sayings, pack ther carpet-bags | and shake the dust of Albany from { their feet on Fridays, just as though the | @id time principle was still in vogue. Strange to Say, there was a quorum in the Assembly to-day; in- } deed there were actually sixty-nime members pres- ent, anda fortunate circumstance it was, as the | yees and nays were called on a certain motion, which was made purposely by the mover to ascertain whether there was & quorum, Mad the result of the vote shown that there was mot a quorum ‘THE ABSENT MEMBERS might have suffered severely in pocket on their return on Monday. There were not @ few members who were anxious to Rave a call of the House, but better @ounsels prevailea in the long run, and the ex- tremiste were pacified, greatly to the relief of some of the new ruralites, who have a wholesome terror of the “after effects’ of a call, simply because they really do not understand what they are. SENATOR WOOD'S CASB Was the great topic of conversation to-day, and when the HERALD appeared with the testimony of the witnesses who had been examined by the In- vestigating Committee there was the most intense excitement among the lobbyists, who were stl ing around ihe hotels awaiting e hour for the departure of the fast train for New York. It got rumored about that Tweed and Barber had made @ full expose in giving their evidence of all the lobby operations of the sessi n of the year 1870, and the anxiety that was pictured on the countenances of many ap old lobby {frequonter, as he seized tae paper with trembling hands, told w tale ,of the past hat needed no words to make it intelligible ty the Dookers on. Indeed, there was A PERFECT SCARE” e around, and the old uns who know more about lemselves than Barber does, judging from his know-nothing testimony before the committee, did not get over ltforsome time after the news got pout. So muchfor ihe honest men whom even ‘Tweed says he never heard tell of or haa any deal- ings with that were the “currency” of the day when the charter “haunted him like liamlet’s ghost,” as Re says himeeif, ‘This testimony, which the HER- ALD has laid before its readers, willbe printed and im readiness for the Senate some time next week, when Chatflela’s resojution will be called up tor final disposal. It aah be that Mr. Wood will resign before that time, but it is cialmed by certain Irends of his who ought to know of what they afirm, that | be intends to attempt to VINDICATE HIMSELF BEFORE THE SENATE, nd so will quietly walt until that time arrives ‘without appearing in the Senate before the day that be fixed for the consideration of the resolution, ia quite likely that a iew of the senators will take up the cudgel for their unforiunate By and on the ground that the Senace has no right to look into the bad acts of asenator when they Were committed during another session and when he was a member of another Senate than the pre- gent. Atleast iam of the opimion that the arga- ment may be relied upon by one or two of the Sena- tors, judy! irom @ conversation 1 had to-day about tne matter with one of them, who appeared to think the argument was @ good one. How it can be made #0 unuer the best of circumstances, when it is taken into consideration that the com- Mattes was appointed at MR. WOOD'S OWN SOLICITATION, és rather dificult to understand. Kut we shall see ‘what we shali see. It is conceded that Mr, Uhat- fieid ‘means business,” and that he will allow | nothing to interiere with an immediaie considera- | tion of his resolutions after ine testimony has been | saben od, but he ts blamed upon ali sides for huv- tng Offered them without having previously noti- Bed Mr. Wood, so that the latter might have ab- sensed himscit. The “drinding Committee” of the Assembly were pate this morning, and from this out the work the session will be done on the double-barreled Principle, By tho rules no bill introduced after the ‘16th of Marcn can be considered before any bill that ‘Was introdnced previous to that date.

Driftings Abroad. “Giovannina Avigliana” is the name in Italy under which Miss Jeanie Armstrong, of Wiscasset, Me., is now singing; and of her début at Saluzzo, Italy, the Milan Gazetta dei Teairi says:—“About this uew singer, who gives promise already of | making a most splendid career, we hear from Sa- luzzo:—‘La Contessa a’Amalti’ (one of Petrella’s operas) ‘had in general a satisfactory reception by the pubiic; and, while the baritone (Galoccl) and the basso (Bagni) merit warm praise, the prima donna, Glovannina Avigliana (Jeanie Armstrong), is worthy of especial encomium. With a voice of rare freshness and power and an inspired art in singing sne has happily inaugurated ner career, aud receives, up to the present, well merited ap- plause.’ The sympathy which this youn, has known how to inspire in our public pledge of a brilliant and glorious future.” Miss Bella Brash took her first step im art at Ver- celll, in the principal pari of ‘Beatrice di ‘Tenda’’ (Bellini), She nad a splendid success and did honor to her masters, who were Sangiovani for singing and Ignazio Marini jor declamation, both reputed a8 the first in their profession.

At first the Wagnerites were probably furious; but now they are “so giad’’ they did not gucceed 1D acquiring that horrid Stuckberg, for, they no been thwarted, they | would not have the site they afterwards hit upon and purchased, und which 1s ‘so very superior in every respect to the Stackberg.” So they tell us, and, of course, we do not for an instant doubt the sincerity of what they say, but—but—well, then, there!

THE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE. ‘Two Sides to a Story. To 1HE EpiTok oF THB HERALD:— It 1s now evident that the charges of extravagance and mismanagement against the Board of Trustees were grossly unjust and unmerited, In the item for official books, as alleged to have cost $400, which would appear to cast censure, not only upon the oficers, but also upon those from whom they were purchased, we find tne bill of $386 66 to include all the stationery wich has been ! used during the last eiglteen months, such as cir. culars, of which thousauds had been — printed; cards for the various departments, permits for patient, labeis of different sizes and torms for the drug room, books with printed headings, of diiterent sizes, which were considered necessary for the Management of the institutton; writing paper, envelopes, and, in short, everything which was required and could be ob- tained from a reliable stationer at moderate prices, ‘The same facts with regard to furniture, medical in- struments, drugs, &c. The only real mismangement thus far developed has been in the medical sdopart- ment, which has been in charve of the house phy: cian, Mary E. Green, M. D., who has not only failed to keep a@ correct record of the patients’ visits aud prescriptions, but las repeatedly violated tat sec- uon Olathe bylaws which required her to make a monthly report to the trustees, notwithstanding the fact Unat she was frequentiy reminded of the neces sity of so doimg. In order to remedy this evil it was deemed necessary bythe Board of Trustees to try the influence of monvy, and in Ocvober last a major- ity voted to pay for the services which had been previously vuluntecred by the house physiclan, | At the next monthly meeting a motion was offered to reconsider the vote of payment, on whicb no aefinive action was taken until three months alterwards, When experience convinced them that the under current of hostility continued, | Increased numbers of patients were sent away | without treatment—Miss Green had another dispen- sary on Ninth avenue—and many irregularities per- | sisted in, Thena resolution was passed—only oue | voting In the negative—that the payment of money \as “salary be discontinued,” Whereugon the ‘ house pliysiclan served upon each member { of the Board a letter containing threats of vengeance to the utmost degree if her money was not promptly paid. It was not paid. Hence tne charge of extravagance aid mismanagement. ‘The ladies of the board have long been convinced that a gentleman physician ought to be at the head (two have been im attendance one hour daily— | their = department works weil) and lady | physicians as attending. They also pro- / pojed increasing tne bumber of trustees, | having gentlemen io tue number. To accomplish | these desired objects written notices have been sent | to each subscriber that they might be prepared to | vole at the annual election, as the constitution re- } quires. A DONO!
