The Brooklyn Police and Health Bills Passed in the Assembly—Fight Over the Wharves and Piers—The Safe Keeping and Care of Lunatics—Hasty Legislation—Til- den’s Judiciary Bill To Be Favorably Reported. ALBANY, March 22, 1872, ‘The lobbyists and the boue-hunters. are in mourn- ‘ng. Ever since the session opened they have been roaming about to see what they could devour, and up to the day when the Southmayd bill was intro. duced their chances were few and far between, That bill was their first chance, and while O’Brien was | Working like a beaver perfecting his plans to make | its passage a certainty they counselled and plotted Over the. matter and discussed the “worst” of the ‘bill and the hold it would give them on both houses, How the rumpus at the Grand Opera House two ‘weeks ago put all their hopes to flight is now matter of history. 1t was quite natural under the circum. | Blances that they should look about them for | @nother bone to pick; but though they watchea every bill carefully and even canvassed over the | pro rata sreight act there was NO FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY, The leading members of the third house Qnally made up their minds to cheat their | lanaladies out of a week’s board by steal- | ing out of town by night, and the would- be bribed members of the Senate and Assem- bly settled down into tne conviction that from that | ume forward thelr wash bills and liquor notes of hand woald have to be paid by tnemselves or not @t all, Ic was at this supreme moment that une wew Erie bill made its appearance, and that the Obby went nalf crazy over the bright prospects | ghead. Nobody thought of leaving town for good, | and the caucusing and plotting and scheming | began once more, the objective point of the lobby patteries being the treasury of the new Erie direc- | tory. ! “tye see,” said a virtuous member to another | the night after the bill was introduced, “we got cut ont of that other Ring, you Know, and we must | make ’em sweat this tme.” And this was the decision of the rank ana file of THE BONE-HUNTERS ‘Dn all sides in.and out of the two houses. When the previous condition of affairs when Jay Gould Was tumbied out of power ts once taken into con- aideration, and when it is remembered that it was | followed up so quickly by the introduction of the new bill, it is easy to imagine what must have been the general consternation of the fraternity to-day | When the announcement was made that the Erle | people bad changed welr minds and had | @ecidea not to press the bill; and this mght in the tceth of the fact that te Railroad Committee this favorably upon it. Was evercruelty more sharply | @efined and the lobby conscience ever more radely -aroused? Now it may be that the announcement | fs authoritative, and tt may be that it 1s not; but, at all events, the scare is universal among the hungry people, and it will require no small amount of con- | ‘Viclion that everything 1s not yet lost before they | willbe able to steady their nerves for A FRESH ENCOUNTER. It ts sald by parties who are Known to have secret dealings with the present management of the Erie | road that the reason why the biil 1s not to be | pressed is, that the scouts sent out to feel the enemy reported him tu strong force all round the camp, and so iutreuchea that It would require guns of the very largest calibre to make tim give way. How- ever, there are those who think that the announce. ment of the withdrawal of tie Erie forces is a shrewd dodge on the part of the} enerals who were sent up to fight the | ate at Albany, and that instead of being an actual retreat it will turn out to have been made as a teint to draw the enemy from his own chosen ground and to dejeat him in open field without resorting to the necessity ol using heavy ordnance. Indeed, certain tacts which have come to light this afternoon scem | To bear out this view of the case, and it 18 more than likely that the whole question will resoive itself into | oue of large Vs. small ammunition. The comimissa- | Tiatof the enemy is in a miserable condition, and ‘thls will, no donot, have great weight in DECIDING THE BATTLE. If the Erte generals find out to their sausfaction that they willnot have to use as much amuuition am the open field to make iver 10es lay down weir arms as they will to attack them strongly in- | trenched, then in all probabillty their new scleme | iu the Senate will be followed up tothe end—for certainly no good general would make nis country Pay, $300,000 for tue lua of winning @ Victory if he found out wat by making his hungry enemy await | the (qs Would not be a third of that enug little sum, | Nexf week the result will doubtless be known and the question of the capitulation, the large and the small arms be set at rest forever.

The resolutions cail for an investigauon by the Committee on: Milina, ending the result of which the Treasurer and jomptrolier are directed to withhold payment for the arms. Mr. Alvord proposed to debate the reso- lutions, and they lie on the table under tne rule. Mr, Prince, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, came up from New York to-day vo look atter some legisiative business, but an unexpected adjourn- ment of the House took him by surprise and pre- vented him aecomplising the principal objects of ns visit, The investigation in New York has occupied @ good portion of the ume of the committee, and, consequently, nearly one hundred bills bave ac- cumulated for their consideration Some ot these were reported to tne Honse 0-day. One of the objects of Mr. Prince’s appearance in at LO- Gay was to procure the passage of a resolution al- lowing him to have emainder of the TRA1\MONY IN RELATION TO THE JUDGES and the tabular statements submitted printed in New York. It 1s understoou that the State Printer here would not be able to have all the work com- leted within A month Irom now, and it 1s desirable o have ail the evidence in print to be presented with the report. Mr. Prince failed, however, to get a chance to present bis resolution. He aiso in- tended to report in favor.et Mr. Tilden’s bill provid- ing taat on application of the Attorney General the Court of Appeals, when in session, or the Chief Judge thereof when the Court is not in session, shall assign « Judge of the Supreme Vourt to hoid a COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER in any county in the State for the trial of any case ot sileaee breach of public one the yudge so ap- Pointed to be from some other Judictal district than ‘vhe one which includes the county in which the case is to be tried. The bill 1s intended to apply to the trial of Tweed and other notorious members of the Tammany Ring, and will be reported at the earliest opportunity, Mr. Prince returns 10 New York to nignt to resume the judiciary investigation, He brought up with him a bill, which one of his As- semoly associates will introduce for him to-morrow, 10 relation to HE MARINE COURT OF NEW YORK. It does not-propose %o change the system of elect ing judges or to remove any of the present in- cumbents, but simply seeks to codify all the laws governing that Court soasto make them harmonize ‘with each other. The Marine Court 1s the oldest court established in tne city, and some of the laws relating to it date back sixty years, while many new enactments have been added and some con- fusion has resuited trom a wantof harmony among | them. This bill modifies the practice in the Court and makes 1t coniorm in general to that m the Supreme Court. It restricts the reference of cases to instances where the parties concerned consent and extend its power to cases analagous to those already in Its jurisdiction, but excluded now by the language ofthe laws. ‘The bill, Mr. Prince asserts, has atready received the sanction of @ number of the leading members of the Bar in New York, as well as of the | members of the Judiciary Committee, and alter It shall have been referred, it will probably be reported 48 a substitute for all tne bills relaung to that sub- Ject now beiore that Committee, THE SAPE KEEPING AND CARE OF LUNATICS te @ matter which the Legisiature might took into, if Jor no other consideration, out of respect to some of their own number, notwithstanding the popular opinion that this 18 @ reform Legislature, Accord- ing to the law as it stands et present the ceriificate | of any two physicians, without regard to their character, 18 sufflvient to consign any person to a lunatic asylumn; and it might be well if members of the Legislature would pause @ moment to con- sider how many of their own number may be in danger. A bill reported from the Judiciary Committee, and now in Commitieo of the Whole, where it 1s likely to be Jost sight of, or duraped, with bundreds of others, into the hopper of tne griading commitree, pro- poses to remedy existing @buses mainly in that par- ticular, It provides that on the recommendation of the respective Boards of Supervisors the Governor shall appoint ten reputabie physicians for New York, and five for every other county, to be known as Examiners of Lunacy, and the required certifi- cate must be obtained irom two of them, The physi- clans are required to report to the County Judge, or in New York, to the Chief Judge of the Cour! of Common Pieas, the act that he has given such certificates, and justices of the peace granting warrants of confinement are required to ‘| furnish to the same autaority copies of Lhe war- rant and of the testimony upon which it was is- sued, Superintendents of asyiums, public or prie vate, must report the arrival of every patient at their respective institutions. The judges are en- Joined to examine the proceedings in each case and by an order to confirm or annul the same, and they shall reopen and rehear the case whenever applica- tion on behalf of the alleged Junauc shaji be made. HASTY LEGISLATION. In the lower House espectaily there 1s a very large number of bills unacted on and more are flowing in every day. It will be impossible to give careful con- sideration to one half of them, even if the session should exten: over into May. A numver have goue to the grinding committee, and some ot them which | Nave been reported back were pushed through tue Mouse to-day, @ vast majority of we members knowing nothing whatever of the nature of the | bilis which they voted tor, Under the rule hereto- | fore in force bills were referred to the grinding committee by means Of @ separate resolution or motion in each case. Mr. Jacobs intro- the Speaker and the Cierk to look over the bilis now on general orders, and such as may hereaiter be reporied from any standing comumittes, and mae out froin time to time for the approval of the House a list of such bills as they deem proper to be sent to the Grinding Comm.ttze. Mr. Pierce and Mr. J, L. Brown opposed the princivie of such relerence, Brown said it was an Inaovation any way, and could only be justified upon the piea of extreme necessity, Brown Js ONE OF THE ECCENTRIC MEMBERS of the House, bat he made some eensible remarks | Upon the subject and said the adoption of the reso- jution would launch the Legisiature upou unknown seas, where proper legisiation would be wrecked, roe = was adopted, however, by a vote of 49 to 27. Ring and covering similar prosecutions in future was passed, Mr. Judd introduced a bill to change the name of Richmond county to Staten Isiand county; tne object of which is to correct the confu- siou which the two names, Richmond county and Staten Isiand, now, it is alleged, creates. ‘Ine Ralle road Committee reported in favor of allowing THE HARLEM RAILROAD COMPANY tolay a sinzle or double track trom Ceatre street, along Chambers street, James slip and South street, to Rooseveit street ferry; and tne Committee on Cities reported in favor of amending and reducing to one act the several acis relating 10 bundings in the city of New York. The same cominittee re- ported for the consideration of the House the bill to Incorporate the New York Warehouse and Railway Company, and to provide improved wharves and Warenouses in the city and adequate means for the transportation of freight and passeugers within the city and Westchester county.
