“THE STATE CAPITAL Speculations as to the Charter and a New Amendment on the Tapis. What Is the Matter with the Democrats? i Battle that Is To Be Fought and the Way : It Is Not To Be Contested, A SENSATION IN THE ASSEMBLY. Speaker Cornell Makes a Decision Which Creates an Uproar. The Scene and How It All Ended and What Will Follow. nother Crow-Town Railway—Henry Bergh’'s BillJ—Discussion on Palmer’s Bill Relative to Days of Grace—Private Insane Asyluma, ALBANY, Feb. 12, 1873, THE CHARTER ‘will positively be reported by the Committee on Wities to the Assembly to-morrow has given rise to @ great deal of new speculation in reference to the gmendments made to the bill last evening by the wommittee at their private meeting and how they fwere brought about. It seems that the only mem- Wer of the majority who appeared to be qilling to act what the democrats call fairly was Mr. Pierson, ‘who ostensibly was desirous of doing everything Mor the best, although he was found all right in a party sense whenever an amendment was to be woted upon. So the party can consider him as @ very good man to play the rdle of the **would-if-l-could-you-know” peacemaker, pro- wided everybody acts good-naturedly en the other wide and does not go for him on the strength of his Wdelity to principle. On the other hand, one of ithe democrats of the committee went clean over @o the republican camp, and there are some very yagiy stories about the matter. I allude to Mr. Deering, who is classed in the Blue Book as belong- ang to the opposition. (No one is classed as 8 emocrat in the book this year.) The democrats Bay that,as he was put on the committee asa emocrat, he should have stood by HE POLICY THE MINORITY HAVE DETERMINED TO PURSUE Im relation to the bill—namely, to do everything that he could to thwart the plans of the majority 4n their determination to make Mr. Havemeyer a Mere figurehead in the city government. It 4s undeniable that every democrat in the A® sembly has been instructed—rather every one has, fo put it mildly, consented, at the suggestion of Mr, Tilden and John Kelly and Andy Green—to stand by Havemeyer in his every wish in regard to he charter. The apparent defection of Deering Bherefore creates no small amount of talk, and Shere is a rumor afloat that he voted on every im- portant amendment with the Custom House mem- bers of the committee, because he was ordered to io 80 by the leaders of the Apollo Hall party, to whom he is indebted for his election In other ‘words, it 18 the current rumor that Apollo Hall ‘and the Custom House have clasped hands, and hat a bargain has been struck by which they will wovertly, if not openly, combine at all times to Keep Tammany Hallia the mire. Senator O’Brien @enies that any compact has been made between the two factions, and claims that no matter what way Deering went in the committee he acted ®olely on his own responsibility. To use the Sen- ator’s own words, ‘That young fellow’s going in for himself.” This view of the matter is taken by peveral of the country democrats, and they point to She tact in proof of the correctness of it that THE “DISINFECTANT” DEMOCRAT, 28 a member from the backwoods persists in call. Ang him, “trains” with Davenport and his associ. tes night and day, and that it is rumored in cer- Gain quarters that he has been promised one of the gmall commissionerships under the charter for Biding with the majority in the committee. The wnly vbject the leacers could have in securing a @emocrat to act with them in this way is fo lead outsiders to believe that the con- Bideration of the charter has not been a ‘one-sided affair, and that even a democrat found She amendments digestible. This can be the only explanation of the “disinfectant’s” course, for in a House'which has a two-thirds republican majority it would be the height of absurdity to suppose that @ne democratic vote in committee, or even in the Bouse, is worth troubling their leaders’ heads bout, ope way or the other, As an individual Deering is a mere drop in the bucket; he 1s not one, by any means, of the leaders of the minority. Bo all the fuss made about his course in the com- mittee seems not to be worth the talk that some of he straight-outs are making about it. Still it re- gains to be seen whether he will vote with his part; am the House on the final passage of the bill af the amendments he voted for in committee are allowed to remain init. The question is purely a minority one, and the only thing about it that makes it at all interesting {s the doubt into which At has ttirown the minority, at least the small fry epee Of it, a8 to What induced Deering to act as e bas acted. It may be mentioned just here that Blumenthal was the only one in the committee avho atood out and fought to the bitter end for SHE POLICY OF GIVING THE MAYOR THE SOLE POWER OF APPOINTMENT, We also attempted to have him vested with the wer of removal for cause of all officials without ‘The fact that e consent of the Board, but in this be was unsuccessful. Mr. Opdyke voted with him on the question. Blumenthal alone voted against the plan finally decided upon to compel the Mayor to go into joint Bession, as it were, with the Board of Aldermen on appointments, after the expiration of the a y days mentioned in the charter. I may add Bhat there are many who believe that the charter ‘will not be adopted precisely as the Committee on Cities will report it to-morrow, at least 80 iar he special feature of the appointing power 1s con- werned. If the leaders find that it will not look ‘weil to push the bill through with the present ap- he power amendment in it, as they can if ry y THE CART WILL BE PUT REFORE THE HORSE, @hat is to say the power of appointment will not pr virtually but actually be given to the Board of Aldermen and the power of confirmation to the Mayor. “This system worked weil,” said Mr. Have- mpeyer some time ago in speaking of this very way ‘of appointing ofticiais in the long gone by days, and i the majority in the end take him at his word can he cempiain ’ But if this plan should be settled ipon in the long run, instead of the one the Com- Mittee on Cities has adopted, at the suggestion of these who are the real powers behind the throne, @he change, I assure you, will not be made because he ruiers want to give way a little to Mr. Have- meyer, but because they are afraid the Governor ‘Will not sign it if the present feature (that adopted by the committee) is retained. Meanwhile the reparations are being made on all sides for the Batl je that is to come after the bill is reported to- morrow. The bugie for ‘THE ADVANCE ALONG THE LINES OF THE MAJORITY ‘will be sounded; but, jadging from present indica- tions, they may toot their horns and beat their drums to their hearts’ content, and yet will the Gght be a tame one. They will find no stout bat talions to dispt the with them. There may be a few stray shots, even a bold sortie on the enemy's works by the minority at the opening of ‘the strife, but they seem to have no stomach for Aight somehow, and what little they will do will be Gone only to save themselves from the stigma of the —— and the coward. Why this sheuld be #0 I know not. It may be the part of common sense for the minority not bitter death for their principles against the inevitable, but yet one cannot help won- dering ‘why tiey are not buckling on their @rmor at this the eleventh hour. There may be good Feasons for the apathy they have so far siown in @ party sense in every action they have had with the gnemy. They have had already since the session began several opportunities to break lances with their antagonists, and although their leaders are @nquestionadly the best parliamentary soldiers in She house they have on every occasion satisied ‘themselves with a weak charge against the foe only to fall back to the rear to allow the rank and Mle to engage in the hot work or the battle. It yemains to be seen wi er, when the charter fight comes on, they will lageard e though tney are a foriorn ho So far they have acted suspi- ciousty quiet. Why?

His last ch: ‘was from the negative to the affirmative, and then he got up to move the reconsideration, But before he could open his mouth and get recognized by the Speaker the result of the vote was announced—62 to 39—and the bill was declared lost. ‘Mr. Speaker!” cried Prince, as loud as he could bawl. Din and confusion prevatied all round, and yet, the Speaker heeded him not. “Mr, Speaker!” “Mr, Speaker!” “Mr. Speaker!’ eg the desperate legislator, growing bluer in the face every time he uttered the p officer's title, and swing- ing an imploring Jeng See out before him in sort of way it would have brought tears to the eyes of the most hard-hearted crocodile that ever sunned himself on THE MUDDY BANKS OF THE RIVER NILE. Still the noise aoe bustle and hum of voices went on, amid which the Speaker ordered the third Pong ee bills to proceed. But ce heart bent on gi ker a leason in Par- Mamentary law, continued his cry of “Mr. aker!? “Mr. 8} er!” The Upniie | genius Sadie Diu, {Ste Prinee, of poet 1» “Mr, The ‘noise inthe. louse Ceased as ir by magic, and every eye was bent upon the persistent chairman of the Judiciary Committee, whose face by this time was the color of lead from the exertions he had made to be heard, while bis long har hun; about in dishevelied masses, giving him a loo! of wild desperation that hada rather startlin effect upon the spectators. He finally manage to speak, and said, “Mr. Speaker, 1 move a recon- bee ‘ation of the vote by which this bill was lost, Di “The gentleman is out of order,” replied the Speaker, looking as stern asa sphynx; and the gavel went down on the desk with a whack that Made poor Prince jump nearly ont of his boots. “OUT OF ORDER!” cried the Queen’s county man, in dismay. “Why, sir, I have the right to move’’— “The gentleman is out of order’ exclaimed the Speaker, and he looked sterner than ever, and the gavel came down with a more murderous thud than before. “Why, sir?” broke in poor Prince. “The bee cannot move @ reconsideration of the bill just lost.) broke in the Speaker; “I re- fer him to rule 44;”” and then turning toward the House, in the most unconcerned manner possible, he added, ‘The third reading of bilis will be pro- ceeded with.” To say that this decision came down upon every- body with all the force of an earthquake shock would be but telling halt the story of the scene that ensued, “The statesmen,” the sticklers on Par- liamentary law, the genli_ who think er know all that there is worth knowing of Crosswell and Jef- ferson, rushed palma), as if by common consent, into a corner of the room, and each pounced upon a “blue book.” All the other members followed sult, and the rush for blue books set THE WHOLE HOUSE IN AN UPROAR, Why, didn’t the merest bey Know that the Speaker was wrong in his ruling? Who ever heard of such an absurd decision ? Wasn’t the rule that “the same vote that would be required to pass any bill shall be requisite to carry a reconsideration thereof?” Of course it was. The leaders knew it ‘Was, and when they made it Known about that they. had said it was, ali the smail fry chimed in and said it was likewise. The Speaker sat through the scene cool as @ cucumber, a sort of hall grin stealing over his face every once in awhile, a8 much as to say, “I guess I got you, my boys.” And alas for the van- ity of parliamentary lore! HE HAD GOT THEM; for, the Blue Book being searched, at the end of the rule was found the following:—‘But the final vote on the passage of any bill creating, con- tinuing or renewing any incorporation, otherwise than pS shall not be reconsidered when- ever such ‘shall be rejected on its last reading.’’ The excitement subsided after this, and @ short time afterwards Mr. Prince gave notice that he would, ‘at some future day,’’ move to suspend the rules for the consideration of the bill just lost, By this means Mr. Prince will pronahly be able to gain his point; but hereafter ‘the statesmen” will look to their blue books more carefully before they take the new Speaker for a greenhorn. A sweet peace has grevaiied all round among the members since the Speaker's triumph, and no one now refuses to say, “Let us have peace. THE CANAL APPROPRIATION. The Atto General, in answer to a resolution of the House, reaponded that in his judgment the constitution did not Lorna the Legislature from ae its appropriation for the support of the canal Senator Tiemann introduced a bill in the Senate to-day for ANOTHER: WN RAILWAY, authorizing the Dry Dock and East Broadway Railroad to extend their tracks through First avenue, Thirty-sixth street, Lexington avenue and Forty-second street to the North River. THE BILL OF HENRY BERGH, to further prevent disease and cruelty, was re- ported from the committee to-day, with amend- ments to the effect that it shall apply only t cities, that an extra horse shall be attached to‘each car on a fifteen foot up grade, and giving any officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals authority to shoot on the spot any diseased or crippled animal, provided it 1s the opinion of any two men whom he may choose to summon from the crowd that the animal is useless and cannot re- cover, A LONG AND INTERESTING DISCUSSION ensued in committee of the whole on Palmer's bill in relation to doing away with oaays of grace” on checks, drafts and other commercial papers drawn against banks or banking institutions, The dis- cussion veered rouud to the subject of grace on ssory notes, and a atroug spirit was evinced ‘or of abrogating the ancient custom of three days of grace on all promises to pay. So great a com- mercial revolution could not come to the suriace without thorongh discussion, and one of the most searching debates of the session grew out of it. Messrs. D. P. Wood, Murphy, Benedict, Palmer and Lewis, by far the best speakers in the Senate, carried on the debate with great spirit, Senator Lewis said that the old custom of three days of grace was now useless, by reason of tele- graphs, railroads and expresses; that it came into use when men had to go from place to place on horseback and in stage coaches, when they might be ten and Codie days on their way to pay such notes, and when they were sometimes snowed up for weeks. Now WE PAY OUR PROMISSORY NOTES BY TELEGRAPH and send our cash by railroad or express. Promis- sory notes are false on their face. They promise payment in say sixty days, when really tucy mean sixty-three. The abrogation by law of the customary three days of grace on promissary notes would cre- ate no commercial or financial embarrassment, provided the act should take eifect say six months alter its passage, and wou!d at Ivast work the one beneficent benedt of making promissory notes tell the truth. The bill was finally progressed without the amendment favoring the abolition of grace on promissory notes, but it is not umiikely tnat the subject will come up again in a separate bill upon the subject and in that shape it may pass, A bill introduced In the Senate by Mr. Palmer provides thet the State Board of Charities may add @ lady to their board, to visit PRIVATE INSANE ASYLUMS AND HOSPITALS, with power to send for persons and papers and examine witnesses on oath, to ascertain whether any of the inmates are improperly deiayed or un- kindly treated. Any offence against the insane shall be treated as a crime of like offence would be regarded when inflicted upon a sane person out- side. Persons confined in asylums may write to the Board of State Charities once each week, or as pales as they wish to, and such correspond- ence shall be sacred trom the inspection of any of the officers of the institution. Pens, ink, paper and stamps must be turnished inmates for correspondence and a locked letter-box piaced in every insane institution into which the weekly letters of patients may be placed, every institution in the State to be visited once every two weeks by some member ef the Beard, such visits to be made at irreguiar times. Persons may visit insane reia- tives confined in the institution once @ month and have private interviews with them. Neglect to comply with the law is made punishable by fine and imprisonment, ‘Lhe Senate, in executive session to-day, confirmed @ few notaries, THE CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT.

A Great Jam of Iee in the River—Im- mense Fields Fifteen Feet Thick— Fears of a Wholesale Destruction of Property—Sixty Million Feet of Lum- ber in Imminent Dange: Port Jervis, N. Y., Feb. 11, 1873. In the event of @ sudden rise in the Delaware River there are gorges of ice at various places which threaten great destruction to property along its banks, At the time of the breaking up in the river a few weeks since the ice was a toot and @ half thick. Below this place, on the New York side of Sim’s Island, the ice 1s piled up in the chan- nel fifteen feet high for an eighth of a mile. Along the river here are the homes of railway laborers of the poorer class, which, if a sudden flood comes, which is by no means improbable, will be in great danger. Near the bridge spanning the Tiver at this place the ice is piled high in the yards of some of the houses, and in many cases against the houses themselves. Four miles below, at what is Known as “Punkies,” where the river flows in two narrow channels, forming a small island, the main channel, on the Pennsylvania side, is gorged with huge cakes of ice in some, places thirty feet high. The island itself is compietely buried be- Death ice. Several farm houses in this vicinity on both sides of the river are in imminent peril. The blockading of this channe) will destroy work that has been done there at great expense, to improve the navigation for rafts, and will have the effect of wl dai exeen fag eee ta aan for running lumber, is also the case at Conashangh Island, sey- eral miles further down the river,- where the bin- nacie side of the large island ts free of ice and the main channel gorged its entire length, in places the ice forming a wall twenty feet higi It is thought that this channel will be entire! ae destroyed as a means of navigation, but that extraordinary rush of water which has been turned into the bin- nacle ny the blockade will have the effect of making it safe for rafts to run through. No little trouble is anticipated in the Spring by men at Punkies, Conashaugh Island, and various other similar places along the river, where the same state of affairs exists. The late breakup did not extend to the Lackawaxen River, the main trib- utary of the Northern Delaware, entering the main stream at Lackawaxen, on the Erie Railway, twenty miles west of here. At the mouth of this river, above the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company’s dam, there is an ice gorge in the Delaware which is creating no little uneasiness thereabout, When the ice comes out of the Lackawaxen, in which there is an immense body, it is feared that much damage will be done to adjacent property. At Barryville, four miles below Lackawaxen, the Delaware makes @ sharp curve, running through @ narrow channel into Handsome Eddy. There is an immense amount of ice piied up above this place. Where the river makes the abrupt turn, on tne New York side, are several dwelling houses, ships and other con- structions close to the river, When high water comes and the ice starts all the vast body of ice upon the Lackawaxen River, that forming the gorge at Lackawaxen and all the deposits inter- vening must be swept into this narrow channel at the head of Handsome Eddy. If the rise in the river is gradual the ice may pass through and do no great damage; but if sudden it will be impossible for the great rush of ice to go through. It will form into a huge dam at the curve between the high rocks on the Pennsylvania side and the embankments of the Delaware and Hudson Canal on this side, which will check the flow of the water and flood all the lower portion of Barryville and wash away the banks of the canal. ‘The lumbermen and others at Barryville are takin, every precaution, so that in case of a sudden freshet as much property may be saved as possible. Lumbermen who have lumber piled on the banks of the Delaware and its feeders, from Pond Eddy—where there is a feariul jam of ice—on the Delaware to Westfield Flats on the Beaver Kill are watching every indication of danger froma food, prepared to remove what they can of their property, ifthe tears of many are realized. As there are about sixty million feet of lumber, intended for market in the Spring, in im- minent danger, the effect ofa quick flood on the chief interest of this region may be easily imagined. RESOURCES OF THE SOUTH. pees net een) The Georgia Direct Trade Convention Memortalize Congress for a Water Route Between the Mississippi and the South Adantic—Hints to Railroad Companies and Immigrant: AvaustTa, Ga., Feb. 12, 1873. The Agricultural and Direct Trade Convention to-day adopted a memorial to Congress on cheap and uninterrupted transportation between the Mississippi River and the South Atlantic. The memorial represents this to be the most urgent economical question of the day and suffictently proved by facts already before Congress; urges that the only complete means of meeting the want is a first class water communication, avoiding high mountains and hard freezes, Such a one was recommended by the McFarland survey, connect- ing the Tennessee River with the South Atlantic. ‘Thus endorsed as feasible, the cost is fully justi- fied, The memortalists earnestly hope that Con- gress will ensure its construction at an early day. Railways are insufficient for the national require- ments, and water lines are indispensable for the national prosperity in peace and cheap defence in war. Liberal ne from Congress for the development of the Northwest will prove incota- plete in results without cheap avenues to the ocean which neither heat nor cold nor ma- rine dangers can impair. The Southern States which would be benefited possess resources of the most valuable character, which they desire to be thrown open to the worid, adding to the national wealth and credit, and there is no step so likely to develop them as the water line proposed; names various countries pushing on grand improvemen: which in the past generation wouid have been con- sidered impossible; usserts that the South wishes to take similar action; acknowledges that ample encouragement has been received from the Prest- dent, and leaves the responsibility in the hands of Congress, Resolutions were also adopted recommending the preparation of a book in the English and foreign languages giving information about the resources ot the South; that all ratiroad companies adopt low rates for immigrants and buy up unsettled land along their li for the settlement of immi- grants, and that land owners encourage the move- ment by offering land at low rates and long time. While the Convention jeels the importance of Eu- ropean immigration it also wishes capital and skilled labor irom the Northern States, and extends a cordial invitation to capitalists and skilled labor from the North. A report was adopted in favor of direct trade with Europe by means of States uniting in subsi- dizing steamship lines. A grand banquet was given to the members of the Convention by the city this evening. ALLEY ACQUITTED, The Jury Absent but Four Hours—The Accused Declared to be Innocent of the Murder and Siaughtcring of Abijah Ellis. Boston, Feb, 12, 1873, ‘The trial of Leavitt Alley, the accused murderer of Abijah Ellis, whose body was found cut up and floating in a couple of barrels in Charles River, has been concluded and the prisoner acquitted. The case was given tothe jury at six o’clock this even- ing, and at ten o’clock the verdict of acquittal was rendered. During the interval of the jury’s de- liberation there was great excitement througn- out the city, and large crowds lingered in the vicinity of tne Court House. The verdict was wholiy unexpected, the general impression being that the jury would disagree, and there were @great many bets pending with odds in javor of disagreement. When the verdict was rendered there was @ burst of applause on the part of the friends of the prisoner, but it was promptly checked by the Sheriff, Aliey was, of course, greatly excived and tifled, and in accepting the congratulations of 18 friends he manifested the first emotion since the trial commenced. fe left the court room in company witn his counsel and relatives, and pro- ceeded tmmedtately to his residence in tan place. The jury was immediately discharged, and subse- uentiy they dined and wined themseives at young’s Hotel.
