The Present Attitude of the Senate Explained. ‘WHE APPOINTING POWER FEATURE. Soe | Report of the Canal Commission on Steam on the Canals. ALBANY, Feb. 2%, 1873, ‘The mectings and rumors of meetings of citizens ' In New York whe ave protested and who are ad- vertised to PROTEST AGAINST THE FINAL PASSAGE OF THE CHARTER with the presemt appointing power feature as part and parce! of it-have not had, and will not have, ap- parently, anyeffect upon the leaders of the majority here. It is conceded on ali sides that they have the whip handof every republican member in the | Lower House, and that all the meetings that can be | held in the city will not in the least deter them hom going right ahead with their plans, The fact of the matrer is, the country members, who have been since Saturday hterally deluged with circu- | lars from all-serts of organizations, in which the charter iswienounced and warning given that at mass meetings to be held the black sheep will be Jaithfully remembered, are by no means frightened, They are now. WELL UP IN THEIR PARTS, and they have been taught to believe that all the blatherskites in the city who are out of office and want to get in, and all the republicans who, for reasons best known to the leaders, have becn over- looked @fiate, are the only real opponents of the bill. They wiil, thereiore, you can rely upon it, do just what the leaders want them to do, and that ah the howling of the patriots within the pale of the holy Citizens’ Association, which has soki itself ont to one ring and an- other balf a dozen times within as many years, will not have the slightest effect upon them. Yet the Senate, it is said, will not be unmindful of the so-called non-partisan opposition to the bill. There are those, indeed, who affect to know a great deal about the views of the republi- can Senators who assert ‘that the measure will have a hard road to travel, Ifit does, it will be of apiece with the road it has had to travel so far in the Lower House, where the democrats were ALLOWED TO TALK THEMSELVES HOARSE and denounce everybody connected with the get- ting up of the bill without hindrance; but for all that, the talk has availed nothing in the long run, and the leaders have carried their every point without even seeming to be urgent or dictatorial. People who think that the bill will be shorn of those very features which have created such a how! in New York among the would-be office. holders, so far as I] have been able to learn, have based tneir hopes simply and solely upon afew remarks which the leader of the Senate, Mr. Woodin, let drop oa few days ago, in debate upon a subject which had not the remotest connection with the charter question. In replying to one of the oppesi- tion Senators who declared that much precious time was being wasted over unimportant bills and that the charter would soon have to be hurried through, he said that he didn’t know that it would be hurried as fast as some persons believe it would. “Last year,’ he remarked, “we had a great deal of talk about getting through a charter, and yet we didn’t get one through, and we don’t know what may happen this session.” It is not to be wondered at that these remarks should have been seized upon by the politicians whose wish is father to the thought that the charter in its present shape should not pass, but everybody who knows Mr. Woodin ought to know that he doesn't always talk seriously. He is con- siderable of a wag and is never happier than when he can get 7 THE OPPOSITION ON THE WRONG TACK by rome ambiguity of speech, half serious, half jocose. Whenever he does this he always makes the most of his ruse afterwards by corner- ing his antagonists in the most delightful fashion simply by showing that in their eagerness to find eomfort in their minority loneliness they are always ready to snap at every bait the majority throw out to catch the unwary. The Senate will. doubtless, make considerable changes in the bill, but they will not, judging from present indications, so alter it as to take away from the republicans the power it gives them in thecity. The republican Senators, with the possible exception of Benedict, even ine debate Which»the bill will naturail, two what it must contain when it is finall: passed. They will even go so far as to differ with the Assembly on one or two important features of the measure. Then, you know, the Assembly will retuse to recede from their positions and the con- ference committees will be appointed, and the result will be that they will report just as the teaders want them to, and the bill will finally be passed without the slightest growl. HOW THE PASSAGE OF THK BILL 18 TO BE DEFERRED, ‘There are those who declare that the bill will not be ed to-morrow, although the leaders desire that it should be. Not, indeed, that anybolly ex- pects that sixty-tive republicans will not be found “all right’ when it is put on its final passage, but 7 when the motion is made to-morrow to sus- pend tie order of business so as to reach it, a two- | thirds vote will not be obtained, A motion to this | effect is certain to be made, as Mr, Pierson this | evening gave notice that he would to-morrow move to suspend Assembly Rule This rule makes Tuesdays and Thursdays general order & days, and, of course, if the order of business is suspended, it will be dn easy matter for him to get | States visited the bill before the House. There is no doubt what- ever but that Mr. Pierson will have a clear path, Asa good many people seem to be still consider- ably befogged as to now THE AYPOINTING POWER FEATURE of the charter stands at present iv may be well to state that Opdyke's substitute jor the twenty-ilfth they may widely differ on minor issues dur- | give | rise to, will act witha perfect understanding as | | a Fire Commissioner, to . papas THE FOSTER case. EN ae Tl je astrong appeal to have the sone! eee cenntel ioimp risonment jer ive, ‘The Governor received them kindly, but ventured no opinion one way or the other as to whether he would graut the request. It is understood that a d@eicgation, composed in large part of clergy- mien, will be here to-morrow or next day to pre- vail apon dim to save the unfortunate man trom the gallows. It ts generally beheved thet the closing paragraph of the Governor's letter refusing to commute the sentence of Gaffney, the Buttalo murderer, precludes any possibility of his interfer- ing with the carrying out of the sentence of the law in Foster's case. THAT BILL OF JOHN FOLEY’S, in whch he asks the Legislature to. get him re- munerated for trying to become Supervisor to the tune of $17,625—that is, te pay him for his litigation expenses and the salary he considers he Was entitled to by reason of having been elected to the ofice—has again shown itself in the Assembly. It was introduced by Professor Clark. Probably John will have a little bill here soon asking the isiature to pay him for his litigation expenses in fighting the Chamberiain. This being a reform Legislature John will have @ nice time in getting has expenses paid, BROOKLYN FIRE DEPARTMENT, A bill was introduced in the House by Mr. Cochue to reorganize the Fire Department oi the city of Brooklyn amd to reduce the mumber of commis- sioners thereof. It authorizes the Auditor of the city of Brooklyn to appomt one citizen who, with the Com- missioner acting as President of the Board of Commissioners on January 1, — 1875, and the Superintendent of Buildings, shall consti tute the Board of Commissioners. ‘They shall hold office for three years from May 1, 1873, and shall each receive’ a salary of $4,000 per year. Their successors in office shall be appointed as now pro- vided by law. MISCELLANEOUS BILLS INTRODUCED. The folowing bills were also mtreduced :—By Mr. Smith—To enable the Board of Health of New York to contract for the removal of nuisances; also to prohibit the appropriation of money to schools 1n New ‘York not under the control of the Commis- sioners of Public Instruction. By Mr, Clark—To incorporate a railroad te run through Christopher street, New York.

All vioiations of the act are made subject to a fine of $25, THE SENATE metin exceeding small force to-night, only four- teen Senators being present, and passed two hours f general orders, only the most minute local bills being under discussion.

Report of the Canal Commission. ALBANY, Feb. 24, 1873, The following is the report of the Canal Com- mission appointed by the law of 1871 to consider the subject of steam on the canals:— Auaany, Feb. 24, invention. Many devices have been ted aad large tine oC nionsy Mave been expended. fw the construction of boats and inachinery to compete for the award. Tt will be seem by the engineer's report that a number ot bouts haye actually entered for the contest, and that a portion of them have rg eyo very gratitying re- sults, whieh seem to indicate that great progress ias been ‘can be made towsrds solving the problem of cheap pavigation. ‘The talent, industry and enterprise already shown in the direction of cheaper transportation of treights will proverot creat value, as well as a source of just pride, to the people of this state. But the report of the engineer will show that the boats that have made the best records did not finish the pre- liminary trial trips required untit the month of Novem- ber, nedr the clese of navigation, which terminated the 28th of November, leaving no time or opportunity for the further tests and trials under the persona! supervision ‘of the Commissioners which were considered absolutely necessary to justify a decision. Thus it appears that the time allowed by the law to practically test and examine the Inventious or devices offered has not been sufficient to enable the Cominission to complete the duty preseribed by coming to a final decision upon the matters before them, In accordance with these views the Commission, at a mecting at Albany, heli on the 18th of February, 1873, adopted the tollowing preamble and resolution :— ereas the preliminary trial trips required by this Commission ot the several boats competing for the prize of $10),000 olfered by the State of New York in chapter 868, Laws of 1871, were not completed in time before the close of navigation in. the year 1872, to allow such fur- ther tests and examinations as are necessary to enabl the Commission to determine whether one or more boats had comphed with the conditions ‘of the offer made by said law; theretore be it d, That the Commission do'not make any award orgrant any certificates upon the facts and information now before said Commission. ‘Many of the competitors are anxious for more time to be given them, and tne Ci rmbeaion oo wrongly, urged by them and others interested in the matters involved to recommend to the Legislature that the rewards offered be continued, and that turther time be given by the State for the examination aad decision of the clatms pre- sented under the law. 4 In the of of this Commission the conclusions ar- rived at by the engineer in his report, herewith submit- ted, not only Justty. turther investigation, but. present strong reasons why te should not now abandon the i fort to make steain the principal power used on our canals, ‘This Commission woula, therefore, recommend that the reward offered by chapter 868, Laws of 1571, be continued under such form or commission as the Legislature may deem proper, and in case it is so contmued that an propriation be made sufteient to detray the probable cost of tine and expenses necessarily incurred In discharging the duties prescribed.

A Trace in Both Houses—McPherson Pouring Gil On the Troubled Waters— A Disappointed Audicnce=The Tom Scott Lobby Reinforced. TRENTON, Feb, 24—Midnight. ‘The expected railroad fight did not come off to- night. Neither Assembly bill No. 3 nor Senate bill No. 138 came up for action in either house. It is stated on good authority that they are not signed, and that Mr. Taylor, President of the Senate, re- fuses to sign the latter bill on the ground that it Was iliegally vefore the Senate, inasmuch as the notice required by law had not been given. The great contest cannot be staved off much longer. It 1s expected that elther or both bills will be taken up to-morrow. Mr. McPherson, of Hudson, introduced a new billin the Senate to authorize and regulate the formation of railroad corporations, The bill par- takes of the character of a general railroad law, and is reported to be a set-olf against Assembly bill No. s. Jt provides that no less than fiiteen persons shall be incorporated to construct a rail- road, with a capital o1 $20,000 each, and that tne road shall not be bonded until the sum of $10,000 be paid in cash. The main features of the bill are that any company rich enough can build a railroad in the State, and the more capital the better chance for companies with large means. The minor features are the same as in ordinary rail- road bills, Mr, McPherson made a short speech in introducing it. The President (Mr. Taylor), it is said, strongly favors this bill, The galleries of the Senate were well filled in anticipation of a repeti- tton of the scenes of last Monday night in the As- sembly Chamber, . Mr. Reardon’s bill relative to the exemption of railroad property from taxation in Jersey City was made the special order for to-morrow afternoon. A conierence in regard to it was held two-night, and it received the endorsement of many prom- inent citizens of Jersey City. The excitement over the great struggle which is imminentis on 1, 1873.

For the purpose of deter- nining the time consuined by each and all. the trips, the clearance must show the day of the month and time o1 day that the boat passes each collector's office ; certified copies thereof to be furnished to the Commission.

Resolved, That the competitors are hereby notified that (or the purpose of carrying out the intent of the law, though it is desirable that the three consecutive round trips trom Buffalo or Oswego to New York be made atthe earliest time practicable, the whole of the year 1872 will be allowed to such persons as may desire so r time, and ‘ds will not be made until the navigation tyear. Ata meeting of the Commission held at Albany on the 7th day of August, 1872, the foregoing resolutions were mnoditied by the passage of the following resolution :— Resolved, That bouts making three sround trips from Buftuo or Oswego to the Hudson River and return, as heretoiore required by this Commission for the purpose of determining the rate of speed of suid boats, will not be required to continue the trips to New York’ city, nor to carry more than one hundred tong of cargo going West, ductions from the time consumed in navigat: als Will be made for passing the locks equal enty heurs for each round trip trom Butlalo, an roportional allowance will be made if the trial is from Iswego.

Second—Society should be a common providence for the equal protection, assistance and encourage: ment of all. Third—Declaring the existing poverty, disease and crime-doing system to be but another name for organized fraud, duplicity and war, resting on crystallized abuses of prior savage barbaric and oppressive ages, Hence the laborer goes starving to hig rest of straw, while the idler aud the drone loll in debasing luxury, Fourth—In view ef the present existence of affairs we demand that society shali take its strong feet off the necks of women; that they shall be clothed with citizensNip and political and social right# equal with men. Fith—AMrming that the conflict between capi- tal and laber is not normal, but artificial, Stxt—Speculation is traud, whether in money or property. Things are worth what they cost and not what selfish advantage-taking can extort as their price. Seventh—Pledging warfare with capital as the enemy of labor and to grasp the foe with hands of steel into a new world of unity, order and peace, DISGBACEFUL ORUELTY TO A HORSE, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb, 24, 1873.

DARIEN ISTHMUS SURVEY. ae The Unitea States Expedition—Its Pres- ent Operation and Plan of Work. ° PANAMA, Feb. Tl, 1873. A small bost arrived at Panama this morning from Chiri-Chiri, the scene of the labors ofthe Darien Surveying Expedition, under command of Com- mander Thomas 0. Selfridge. The expedition left here on the United States steamer Tuscarora in the latter pers of January. After examining the coast of the Darien for a week or more they selected the bay named above as the most suitable base for this year’s operations, The bay is located some fifteen miles south of Limon Bay, which was the base of last year’s surveys. The expedition had already commenced its work, and had penetrated some distance into the interfor. The line of survey proposed was to the Bojaya River and down the stream to the Atrato River.

BETHLEHEM, Pa., Feb. 24, 1873. The jury in the Monroe Snyder murder case ren- dered a verdict thissmorning that the deceased came to his death by an effusion of blood on the brain, the result of injuries caused by some person or persons unknown, It is supposed that Mr. Sny- der atter leaving the depot started for home, reaching the bridge ever the creek aiter nine o'clock, where he was attacked by a party who had followed or were lying in wait for him, and, before he could defend himself, that he was struck with a bludgeon or sandbag, producing instant death, and that the body was then thrown over the side of the bridge, after which the murderer leaped over a low wall at the end of the bridge into @ pig pen, and, walking back through the snow to where the body lay, robbed it, and, to make sure of death, stabbed it; but as no blood flowed it was evident that life was already extinct. The friends of the deceased offer a reward of $5,000 and the authorities 2500 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties, THE FIFTH VICTIM.
