“THE STATE CAPITAL, No Report en the Famous Reform Charter. THE FIGHTS OF THE FACTIONS A Peep Into the Method of Cleans- ing New York City. THAT NEW COURT HOUSE.

Brcoklyn Reform Charter—The Pro Rata Bill—Railronads in Brooklyn aud New York, AvBaNy, March 21, 1872. ‘The Senare Committee on Cittes did not, as it was expected they would, report the charter this morn- ing, but it is believed that they will be ready to re- Port on Friday. Mr. Wheeler is still working encr+ getically to have it come out of the hands of the committee, not a8 a renash of the charter the Com- miviee of Seventy desire te have passed, butas a charter which can be recognized as the work of the “Seventy.’’ “In other words, he does not think thas tre committee should, as they at first threatened to @o, so change it in its every important feature Wat It would in the end really be an entirely new charter, whose strongest ciaim upon vae Legislature ‘would be that 1t was bolstered up by partisan sup- port ana factional influence instead of the wishes of the people, as expressed at tbe last election. A strong effort was made to-day by certain repuolican Members of both houses to have “tue committee Birike Out THE CUMULATIVE VOTING CLAUSE, ‘but it was unsuccessful, and Mr, Palmer, the chair. | ‘man, asserts that the commitiee will report the charter with this clause intact. Thus it will be seen that Wheeler may fairly claim the victory on this point, for he has fought anti-cumulation step by step ever since the bi!l came up from the lower ‘house, He has not been so successful, however, in ‘the matter of preventing a change in the provisions ‘which relate to the Board of Aldermen. The char- “ter as it originally stood provided for only one Doard of city fathers, and the committee have de- ‘elded to have two boards—a Board of Aluermen and a Board of Assistant Aldermen, as at present. This 18 apimportant change, and one over which there has been a considerable contest in the com- mittee, As to ihe clause wiich indirectly Teg'slates out of office certain ofMicials now in power no change whatever has as yet been made; but the great pemt over which tie cemunttee are higgling Qt present is the yuestion of the Finance Depart ment. ‘They have decided to do away with the FIVE MEN IN BUCKRAM feature in all the departments, and so the result is ‘that Mr. Green’s triends have been aroused aud are “working to have matters 6o arranged as to have him remain in office. ‘Inis effort on their part, naiu- NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 22%, 1872,—rRIPLE SHEET, to work and reveal a bill simply use it 28 Seen introduced by Tweed. rf ,, Tact nis img iniroduced It did not necessarily ine she be ol bad oo 6 some oud things 1D ime, notw viding the Erimes hel alleged to have committea against the people, He wouid not deny that Xr. ‘iweea had urchased the lakes for pur; of speculation, ut he had learned that he hat pata a oon price for them and thal they were essential to the city of New York. ‘the habit thac some Senators had of constantly throwing ihe name of Mr. Tweed at weir fellows to Intmidate them trom advocating any bill that they did not favor themselves was an exe- craple ove, and seared nobudy, The ‘Boss’? politi- caily was dead as a door nai, and ail the talk in world, 10 or out of the senate, could not resurrect him. It would be better, ne thought, ior tue Legis- lainie to deai witu live 1 not with dead car- casses, Mr. Pemana contende¢ that the bill under consideraiiya ought to be so amended as to meet the objections 0. the Wesichester people instead of repealing Lie gens that was in tne Iweed bill, as well us the bad that everybody knew about, SUPREME COURT PROCEEDINGS, A resolution was adopted by the Assembly on the ‘7th inst. calling upon the County Clerx of New York to report within ten days the title of all actions, motions and proceedings in the Supreme Court of the First Judictai district im which a referee, re- ceiver, arbiirator or commissioner in 1u had been appointed; the names of the attorneys, ref- erees, receivers, arbitrators aud commissioners, and the amount of ei granted, and of costs and allowances in together with the name of the Judge before m such proceedings Were nad, al of the dguige by whom the costs and allowances were made. The iniormation ds required 40 emorace the period from the ist of January, 1869, to the cate the report, and the County Clerk particularly Ordered to furaisa all Vuat he can bly obtatp, whether from the Papers in nis office or the records of the court, The resolution 1s sweeping in its scope and necessitates an immense amount 0! Work. In a communication received from nim this morning Mr. Loew replies ‘thal as goon as he received the resolution he set ail the avatiavie force of his oftice on the work; that the time of himself ana several of assistants had been occupied la the production of books and papers before the Judiciary Committee of the House, which has been sitting im New York, that compliance With the resoiution will involve the exam- ina‘ion of some sixty thousand documents, books of recora and index, and the tabulating of the results in @ proper manner; that the examination is stil being conducted, but the work could not be com- pletea within the period indicated. He asks for an extension of ime. The communication was tabled, Suosequenuly, on motion of Mr, Field, who was ab- ; Seat when the coinmunication was receivec, ten ; days additional ume were granted, THE THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT HOUSE.

The representatives o1 the rival interests of Budalo and Oswego hat a lively contest in the Assembly (iis alternoon over the qnesuon of the | Niagara” ship canal ‘the bill introduced by Mr. Fort, of Oswego, on the oin of Fepruary, came up for discussion in Commitice of | the Whole.

Jt has many deterinined op- ponents in the House, especially among members representing interests along the line of the Erie ; Canal, Mr. Alvord calls it “a bill to abandon the | Evie Canal ana abolish tne cities of the State.” Mr. | Alberger.of Erie, delivered 4 set speech against the | bai and presented the objections to it, and Mr. Foru | explained its advantages in a local and national point of view, und advocated its speedy passae. Alter considerable debate a motion of Mr. Alberger to recominit the bili tu the Committee on Canals, With instructions to strike out ‘he enacting Clause, Wuleh, of course, Would kill 1l, was carried py a | vote of 46 to 87, when Mr. Fort made a counter mo- ' won to reconsider tne vote whicu was laid on the | table, Witch was aiso carried. THE BEACH PNEUMATIC UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. The senate occupied the greaier portion ot tie day and ali the evening in considering in Committee ot te Whole tne Beach Pueumatic Underground Raiiroaa bi. Mr, Benedict and Mr, Tiemann manifested consid- eravle opposition to the bil) agit stands, and the Jormer ofiered several amendmenis to guarantec, | @8 lar as possible, the property owners aiong the fine of she road against loss. It will be remem- bered that the charter of this road Was granted in | 486:, and that this Dill is a supplemestary one. rally enough, is making the real friends ia the com- | Mr.’ Winsiow savocated the bill, a8 did Mr. miuee -of Commbsioner Van Nort look to | DP; Wood im @ set speech, The arguments pro- his interests, As matters now stand, therefore, | tnove made DY the friends and. opponents of tne im this particular, it looks as though there will be a , measures b2ivre the Ratiroad Comm. vee last week, ively fight between Green’s and Van Nort’s adher- eni’s op ail sides, Not, indeed, men in question are working against one another, bot itis a well known fact that many of the Sena- | tors want the charter so amended that Van Nort will remain in office, and who are, at tne same time, very anxious that Green sboula go vy the boara, On the other hand, there are a few of the Senators ‘who want Green retained, but wo would gladly see Van Nort iegisiated out. The advocates of these Daring the evening session Mr. Lewis and Mr. mur- y attacked the bill, Ut, a& they sald, because ‘phy that the two gentle- | they were opposed to any rapid transit underground | scheme, but because it was fuil of defecis, Mr. Murphy said he had no idea that the bill would ever botn nouses and be signed by the Governor. He knew that New York suouid Nave some better means of passenger | transportation than It Was at present; but the bill under consideration did not meet with his entire | approval. He then offered au amendment pro- viaing Wat the company, during the construction of whe road, should build temporary bridges over broadway, erect strong foundations for the houses, two gentlemen’s interests are doing their Lestnow to . not to interfere with the travel iu the street, harmonize in such @ way that the two will remain | in office. In other words, they have found out that if they keep the fight up it may result in poth Green and Van Nort losing their official neads at the game time. In the committee and out of it in the Sennate Mr. Van Nort’s friends appear to be the more numerons; but Mr. Green’s are sirong enough to make things unpleasant all round suoald taey see ftto act ugly. What the committee.will doin the long run it 18 at present impossibie to determine, but it may be that they will leave the Senate itself to take hold of the clause.in question just as it stands, if they cannot come to a peacelul solution of the difficulty. However, the fusion of the friends of Van hort and Greeu may lead the committee to make the change that the harmonizers | are willing should be made, Asa whole, 1 under- stand tne charter will remain pretty much the same as the Committee of Seventy drew It up and the House ameuded it, and that none of its original vital features will be destroyed by the committee, although a few days ago they wad intended to give the whole thing an entireiy new face. Mr, Wheeler ,and bir, Schultz got wind of this resolve and sent word to the committee that the Committee of Sev- enty would repudiate tue charter as far as they were concerned ii it Was pul into an enurely new dress, anditmay be that this suggestion may have de- terred the extremists in the senate from cutting the charter into tatters. There is considerable excite: meat Just now over the subject of the committee's action, and speculation is rife as to what otner, if any, changes they will make in addition to tnose already made before reporting. The “Seventy” people are becoming quite numerous in the capital, and they are evidently determined to see the tning through safely tu the end.

Mr. venedict, arguiag against the assertion of Mr. Madden that the Charter fur the road was grauied years ago, conte:ded that the company were reaily seeking tora yew charier in this bill, as by tie bil) made @ law in 1864 they were not | guthorized to construct @ tube for cars, Dut a single Mity-iour inch tuve for packages, They had not organized under the General Railroad, but under the Washing Machine law, called the Mecnamical and Maoulaciuring law. Mr. Adauis remarked that by the present bill the road was allowed to connect any- where with any other railroad, By this means they | couid connect at or below Forty-second street with the Hariem and not continue it any further up | town, He then moved ap amendment, which was | adopted, that no connection should ve | mace with any other road at any point , below Filty-ninth street, Mr. Benedict showed | that the oil allowed the company to tear up the entire suriace of Broadway durin the construction of the road. Mr. Madden sal | thatthe work would be under the sapervision of two competent men, appointed bv the Senate, and athird by the Commission of Public Works’ He offerec an amendment, providing that the capital stock of the company should be $5,000,000, and tiat | work on the roadshvuld not be commenced | unul tive per cent 18 paid in, ‘The bill | was then progressed, aud the committee weat into Consideration of the Metropo!itan Transit Com- pany, better known as the Two Tier Raiiroad. The arguments used against it by the New York Sena- tors was even more severe than those used against | the other bill. 1t would be useless, therefore, to go into detatis about the amendments offered’ to it. The two bilis were finally ordered to a third | reading. The Kaliroad Commitiee of the Assem- | bly have finally determined to report adversely | on the Keach pneumauic rapid transit scheme, and in favor of the central underground, with ‘some amenaments.

VICE PRESIDENT ARCHER INDIGNANT, Vice President Archer, of the Eri road, who was here to-day, denies most emphatically that he came here to advocate the supplementary Erie bill intro- duced by Mr, O'Brien yesterday. He says the new Girectors of the road are in nowise interested ia the Peat, ana all he came here for was to oppose the Pro Rata bill, Tis sets one theory as to the ob- Jects of the measure completely at rest.

JACKSON 8, SCHULTZ TESTIFIED:— By reason of the position, which I occupied during, some rifon of the year 1867 as President of the Board of Health, duty to superintend the execution of the contract. rown, De Vriesand Knapp had the contract before Whitney came in under my administration, was deemed advisabe by the corporation, in order to get the work thoroughly done, to give @ contract for @ anflicient period to warrant contractors providing carts, horses, scows and all the paraphernalia necessary to do the work properiy; therefore it was deemed aivisable to let the contract for ten years, The contract stipuiates that all the paved streets and avenues, and all the wharves, piers and heaus of slips, tt be BWEPT AND THE DIRT CARRIED OFF atleast one timeeach week unless the weather prevents. Considerable difficulty was experienced im drawing a con- tract, and making it clear, comprehensive and binding in every point, 80 as tosecure a proper performance of the work by the contracting parties. It was thought these things had all’ been properly guarded and cared for, but political in- fluence was brought to bear ant the RESULT SEEN IN DIRTY STREETS and the ahirking of contractors in the piain matter of thelr duty, Ttwas soon found by the Hoard ot Health that con tractors evaded the spirit of their agreement and that instead of being @ success the whole matter of the contract war a failure. The attention of Mr. O'Gorman, Corporation Coun- rel, was called to the case ana the fact 'potnted out to him, but be was led by political party inotives and always decided IN FAVOR OF THE CONTRACTORS. Any attempt to geta biil besore the Legislature to improve this atate of -ailaira signally failed, The amount paid the contract is $44,800 a year. Such are the proute arising from it that it has freqnently been sold for from $20,000 to 30,000, ‘The system in use was for the contracior to gather age in one si dump {t ia another, with ashes, were made, a reply was given that t 9 fill up Jots, | When this dumping 18 ‘not done in New York city it is taken over to Jersey City in boais ‘and used to fil “8 the fats. Ail the streets can be thoroughly cieaned under fhe contract and yet a pront of $200,000 be made, a fact that proved that the contractor can sell his con- tract at any time for from $200,000 to B2K),010 any moment he may choose to sell it. The contractor now REVUSES TO OLEANSE THE 6TREETS because of the frost \under the contract he cannot be cor pelled to do so), and the plerbeads and slips have not be cleaned for montus. Sub-inapectors for oisiricts are a jointed by the contractor, who told by the cc ractor that if the expense of cleaning his district exceeds a certain sum he shall be discharged at once, and he is not expected to grumble at not receiving suflicient salary. This sub-inspector employs his men, and has the work done in a manner careless and negligent.’ Un- der the old administration of the Board of Health it was of no use for the police to send in complaints of Sithy streets, for no attention was paid to them if one sub-contractor made afiidavit that he had done the best he could in any section under controversy. THE REMOVAL OF OFFA because nine- ‘sued into the sewers and from thence into the river, and it would pay the city better to drain the remaider— consisting of noures in the lower part of the city—than to allow the contractor to remove it ashe now does to the detriment of the health of the city in carting the stuff through the streets and down to the docks, Mr. Schultz asserted that the contractor receives over one hundred thousand dollars per annum for removing this soil, ‘Then as to REMOVING DEAD ANIMALS, It was wrong to pay #5 for every dead liorse when there were plenty of bone men ia New York who wou d give #4 for Sach dea animal. But all this was the result of poritical in- fluence and other influences, one man having $10,000 when the contract waa got. r, Brown, the present contractor, had toia witness that he (Brown! did not get the whole of the money mentioned in ‘the contract, and until Mr. Brown got into TUM HANDS OF THESE DAD PARTIES be was an honest men. Mr. Schuitz Knew some party was receiving $260,000 per annum out of the contract, as parties using steam ‘en- anes were obliged to pay exita for removal of ashes. The fetter way wonld be to make the police ace this contract carried out properly, as there would be emulation among the different precincts to keep their streets cleaned; at any rate, this plan would be feasible, and these contractors would be made to do their duty, or if the police would not attend to seeing the work done, then, Indeed, all was lost; Judge Boswell, when in office, used nis best endeavors to per.orm his duty. but he stcod alone in the Board of Healt and as fast as he gave ao order fox work to be done, the next meeting of THE BOARD WOULD RESCIND IT, The work is worth 60,000 annualiy t» doit well; it was worse done now than five years ago, and constant y prowing worse; the present improved mode of paving the streets made the task of cleaning them much ensier and less expensive, as street-sweeping machines can be used ; fhe present system was alla fraua, and residents of the best parks in the city were disgusted with the whole thing and preteried to have the work done by private contractors DR, RLIGHA HARGIS was then examined and sald:—The streets now were posi- tively filthy, and the contractor bad no excuse for neglecting toctanse them, as the weather hud been unusually open {it was to the unusually unclean condition of the streews that there been #0 much sickness, and New York never coud be made healthy’ until a contract for the removal of tith was enforced thor- ‘of the present contract were sufl- ff only properly carried out; but roment the work was neglected and under Mayor Hal's ge a jarge sum PABGED INTO BONFHODY'S POCKET, At the time of the cholera the then existing Roard of Health procured four tons of chloride of lime and fifty bar- rele of coal tar, which disinfectants were thoroughly used and the streets cleansed at an extra cost of $10,000, and yet Jast year an additional $200,000 was voted for that identical work and the streets were not cleaned at Things had been growing worse from day today. It was not a matter of surprise to him that sickners prevailed to ‘an alarming extent in New York, as the whole of those dis- tricts where garbaye bad been’ thrown to fill ap and on which houses had been erected were hotbeds of disease. enough to poison a whole neighborhood. Although it has been asserted on theory that one year was suflicient to de- stroy the effluria and deleterious et of that DECAYING VEGETABLE MATTRR, experience had taught him that a lapse of forty vears would not be sufficient to insure any person ‘iving in those houses being free from poison from the noxious gases arising from the ground. It was asserted that Mr, lirown received $20,000 annuaily from individuals for removing ashes and attending to work which be was bound to attend to under contract. The committee then adjourned, with the under- stancing tat they would report in the shape of a bul lo remove the abuses Compiained THE WFATHER, War DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF TNE CHIEF SIGNAL OFFICER, WasHINGTON, D, C., March 22—1 A, M, Synopsis for the sast Twenty-four Hours, Easterly winds have prevailed over the Western Gulf States, where rain is now reported; thence eastward over the South Atlantic and northeast. ward over the Middle and New Engiand States, Clear weather has very generatly prevailed.

The principal business of Importance that was considered by the Senate to-day was the Bayfleld and St. Croix Railroad swindie, which was called up by Senator Carpenter, who asked non-concur- rence in the action of the House, and for a commit- tee of conference. Mr. Sherman asked the senate to concur inthe House amendments, whereupon Mr. Carpenter made alittle speech toshow how this steal would redound to ihe good or the people of Wisconsin.

Chicago Relief and Army Appropriation io the House. The Chicago Relief bill, with the Senate amend- ments, was taken up in the House to-day, and au attempt made to pass it at once. Mr. Couger, of Michigan, asked tnat time be granted to himseif and his constituents to be heard upon this question, He said this bill was passed without the attention of the Houre peing called to it particulariy, and he demanded to be heard by the representatives of the people upon & proposition that so nearly related to the material interests of his constituency, Mr. Farnsworth insisted upon immediate action, and ent also commanicated tne decree of Decemoet, 1871, the principal object of which appears to be to modify, in some respects, the form of the previous decree and prescribe the mode of tts enforcement. The President does not respond to the later part of the resolution.

The statement that the new treaty between Brazil and Paraguay provides for cession to the former of ail territory comprehended within the margin of the river Apa, for recognition on the pait of Paraguay of the war debt of Braz!l, and that a protectorate is to be establisnea, 1s wholly contradictea by the Commercial Jow'nai, of Rio Janeiro, the oMictal organ of the Braziian government, whicn quotes the Pueblo, of Ascencion, In the following oficial declaration :— We are authorized by the Minister of Foreign Mr. Dawes was impatient with deiay. ‘There is considerable interest felt in the dis- Position of this bill, but Mr. Conger gained his point to have it referred to we Committee of Ways and Means, and it will be thoroughly canvassed before it passes.

The Plaintfls In error were collectors ana officers of the internal revenue service, and distrained property of the several railroad companies for the non-paymen* of taxes claimed to be due on certain dividends of stock and interest on bonds which had accrued and were paid by the companies in January, 1870, Suits were bronght against them as trespassers. They pleaded that the compantes were liable for the taxes for which the distraint was made. The companies demurred to the pleas, and this pre- sented the qnestion whether, under the 1224 section of the Internal Revenue act, as amended by tne act of 1866, dividends declared In the month of Decem- ber, 1869, but payabie in the month of January, 1870, and interest paid im the month of January, 1870, were Hable to a tax, Judgment on demurrer was for the compantes; but before they were renderea Congress passed the act of July, 1870, providing, among other things, that the 122d section of the act of 1864 should be construed to impose the taxes mentioned to the Ist of August, 1870, ‘The effect of tms provision ts therefore invoived as an additional question in these cases, ‘rhe government insists that the act of 1864, which repealed all previous provisions on the subject and supplied new provisious, and its supplements, have effected no change whatever in the character of the duty on railroad dividends, but that this duty remains as it was before, not limited in duration vy virtue of any provision therem contamed. Tne Jimitation upon the duration of the tax on incomes veing inapplicable to the tax upon Interest or coupons, dividends or prolits imposed by the act of 1864, the officers of tie revenue were warrantea in collecting the taxes, and the Court erred in not so finding. The defendants in error urge that the Income Tax jaw, Which was in force on the ist of December, 1864, did not apply to incomes accruing after that day, and that the tax on Interest and divideads payabie by ratl- road and certain other incorporations, uncer ine act of 1864, was part o!, and expired with, the gen- eral income tax which was in force on the 31st ot December, 1869; also that the interest paid in Janu- ary, 1870, must be treated as tacume of the recip ents for the year 1870, and not the year 1809. ‘The provisions of the act of 1870, it 1s submitted, cannot have any bearing upon the decision in these cases, ‘The Attorney Genera: and Solicitor General for the government; S.
