Both branches of the Legis!ature metas usual Wo-day, but the sessions, especiuily that of the lower house, were littie better than a farce, The lob- Dies were completely deserted, aiew stray spectators ‘only were seen in the galleries of the Assembly chamber, and thenumber of members present was Yess than ever, The new Erie bill having been practically abandoned, for the time being at least, ‘there was a hungry and disappomted look upon the faces of the bone hunters all day yesterday, and there was a general exodus of lobbyists to other parts last night. The custom heretofore has Deen for both houses to adjourn over irom Friday until Monday, and, notwithstanding that Saturday Sessions are now held, most of the members ‘who reside within a convenient distance from the Capital still follow tne former practice and ran home to spend the holy Sabbath 1n the bosom of their families and receive spiritual strength for the mext week’s legislauve duties, while others run down to have a “high ola tume’ in New York. ‘The consequence 1s that there seldom isa quorum in either nouse on Saturday, and to-day there was Dot half @ quorum in the Assembly when the count ‘Wus called on a motion for adjournment, the vote— 17 10 15—showing that there were only thirty..wo Members present. Either ythe Sataraay sessions should be abandoned or members should remain to attend to business, THE NEW YORK CHARTER. It would now appear that the labors of the Com- Mittee of Seventy in the interests of reform are nob to be without practical resuits, They have pursnea their labors here with remarkable perseverance, ‘and the fruits thereot will undoubtedly soon appear am tue shape of w new charter adopted by voth houses. For the last week the time of the Commuit- tee on Cities of the Senate has been alieost enurely occupied in considering and amending the Commit ‘ee of Seventy’s charter which came from the As- gembiy. During the last two or three days the com- Mittee has been in almost constant session examin- ing the different propositions presented from ail fides and in behali of ryal erests, Ther final Meeting last evening Was protracted unui loug after Widnight, the charter was siudied over secuon by section, and at last it was come pleted, reporied to the Senate to-day, and Made the specia) order for next Tuesday morning. ‘There is scarcely aseciion In the document, as It Originally came from the hands of the Committee of Seventy, which bas not been amended In some par- Ucular or other, though many of the amendments are merely verval, and some of them were suggested 4 by the Seventy people tuen e3 to make the phraseology more perfect. ‘Ihe | , as it now stands, taken as a whole, 1s not so istactory to the seventy Wise men of Manhattan Isiand as the one which their concentrated wisdota frst con- cocted, nor is it entrcly salisfactorys to the com- Mitiee’ by Whom it has Just been reported; put the committee consider it as good @ one as iney could present in tune to get it through — both ouses = during the present session, andztue sub-committee of the Seventy, wuo n been staying here for the special burpose of looking alter tuis charcer business, are bas ihe Willing Lo take it as It 1s now ameuded, masinu ist retains the most essenuiai features of original daring document.
