Attempt to Reconsider the Con- solidation Question. ALBANY, April 1, 1873. C m the assembling of the Senate this morning to 41 seuss the spectalorder of the day—the New York ©) sarter—a numerons audience of ladies and promi- ® ext politicians took possession of the galleries and 1 Me floor. Among the latter were ex-United States ‘ Bewator Ira Harris, ex-Collector Tom Murphy, Dexter A. Hawkins and John I. Davenport. The jrest of the Custom House faction seemed to have “exerted the lobby, and virtually to have ceased _ Shvir operations for the charter. WOODIN’S SUBSTITUTE. t ‘When the special order was called Senator ‘Woodimn arose and said that he would withdraw this amendment, as proposed on Thursday, giving the appointing power to the Mayor and the two Presidents of the Board of Aldermen. He had fa- ‘Vored ‘that proposition, but it was not his own in- ‘vention. It was suggested by another gentleman ‘quite eminent in affairs of public policy, and as he ‘Was now present he would confide the care of it tohim. Senator TreMANN wanted to know if this was the ‘section that had no paternity. Senator Woopin—No, sir. I never claimed that ‘this was an orphan. It is very ably fathered. But, Mr, Chairman, in order that we may make some farther progress with this bill I respectiuily with- raw that amendment and propose the fellewing ‘asa substitute for the amendment of the Senator from the Nineteenth (Lowery). The following is THE PROPOSED SECTION AMENDED. Sxcrion 27.—The Mayor shall nominate, and. ‘with the consent of the Board of Aldermen, heads of all departments, and all com Commissioners of Public’ Instruction), a: as all members of any board or commission authorized to svperintend the erection or repair. nilding be- Jonging to or to be paid for by the city, whether named ip.any law.or app ’ by ‘any local authority, and also all members of other Ideal board, and all offi- cers not elected by Dot in this actexcejted or otherwise provided for. The nt Incumbents of the offices of Corporation Counsel, t of the Board of ‘thereof, unless sooner removed, as herein provided. Senator D. P. Woop moved to strike out the per- tion of the amendment retaining the four heads ef departments. THE VOTE. This was lost by the following vote, the names of | the democrats being marked in italic \ _Yeas—Messrs. Allen, Cock, Lord, Tiemann and D. P. Wood—5. \ 4. Nave—Messrs A Baker, Bowen, Dickinson, G: hwan, Waguer, Woodin and Wels. ham, Lewis, McGe eon, 1g y RECUSANT VOTERS. The vote, as in all votes in Committee of the Whole, was by viva voce or by count, the Senators Tit ing to vote, and mot by yeas and nays. This ,™a y account #r the fact that the following gentle- me 0, although present, did not vote:—Messrs. faa Benedict, O'Brien, Robertson, Lowery and AN ARGUMENT FOR GREEN. ‘ Sea Bter D. P. Woop then proposed to substi- tute t he present Comptroller for the present Corpor ‘atton Counsel in the list of these heads tobe nm ‘tained. He said that he regarded this propess ‘ion to keep them in as ‘not quite so bad as | ® propos ‘ition to legislate them into office. They may be a 2d to have Som?

And Yet the Senator from the Fenth was bitter be eg Mr. Green beca1se he did not choose to give his wi tole time to that com- mismion without payment for his services—bec ause — he received $10,000 a year for. his services, Senator TIEMANN—/Twasn’t SO. Senator D. P. Woop—I know it wasn’t so; neit, ber were any of the other eharg\s 80. Now, sin. I simply ask to bave him retahed if ible at apable and honest officer, whatever his politi GREEN SQUELCHB'D. ‘The vote was then taken on D. 1. Wood’s amend the people, whose appointment is lice Commissioners, tha Commissioner of Public Works and the President of the Department of Public Parks shall continue to hold and gecupy their respective offices util the end of the terms that we are making straight jackets for Andrew H. Green and Mayor Havemeyer and learn that we are m a cearier.. pes York city we will get fo this work better. a contr MappgN—I would not vote to give that penee, to aby man, not even to the Angel Gabriel Senator D. P. Woop—Andrew H. Green is not the Angel Gabriel, but the Senator seems to think he is the other angel, from the other place. AmI rect ? Senator Madden attempted to speak, when Sena- tor Woopin rose. and said—I think you are GETTING US INTO TROUBLE by your continual talk about Green. ‘Senator MappEeN—Let me one moment—— Senator Woopin—No; I think you Li to forge that there is such a man as Andrew H. Green, e clause as it stands is a satisfactory one, for it gives the Comptroller all the power to prevent fraud that is necessary. The latter clause was put in by Mr. Dorman B, Eaton. Senater D. P, Woop—Was this latter clause sug- gested by Mr. Eaton? Senator Woopin—It was. Senator D. P. Woon—I can sce that Mr. Eaton wanted to get that in as the best he conld get, but in reality it is only a SUGAR-COATING OF AN OBNOXIOUS PROVISION}; itis an adroit wording which may cover an in- famous prevision. |. Senator Woopr—Will the Senator please tone himself down to plain argument and avoid in- uendees and insinuations? Senator D. P. Woop—I surely never intended to make any insinuations or inuendoes that the Sena- tor need take to himself, rightfully or otherwise. But this, in effect, orcas the doorway to fraud through the Courts, who will mandamus Mr. Green ft the call of any sinecurist and compel the pay- ment of his salary. Senater BENEDICT thought the proposition very strange that the Courts should not be able to com- pel the payment of salaries when the Comptroller | refuses on the ground of fraud. There would then | be no refuge for even honest claimants. Even the Mayor might come and ask for his salary and the | Comptroller could refuse to pay him. “YOU ARE A FRAUD,” he might say, and then, if the Mayor should threaten him with the Courts, ke cowid well retort, “Try it on at the Courts. Their hands are tied.” Senator Lewis thought the metion of the Senator from the Twenty-second wasirrelevant. He seemed to be haunted as with a nightmare with the | thought that Senators around this circle have | friends in sinecure positions in New York. I t would, for myseli,say that I never kad a iriend in | office in New York, and do net know that any one here hasever had. ‘The Senator from the Twenty- second seems to be better posted upon the subject | of sinecurists than any one else, but I wish to hear | no more insinuations regarding other Senators, Senator D. P. Woop assured the gentieman that he meant to make no insinuations against him or any other Senator. Senator Lewis—It is as certainty unjust for the Comptroller to refuse to pay an honest claim as it isfor him to pay a dishonest one. There can be no broader guard thrown around the payment of fraudulent claims than this clause allowing him to | retuse when it is necessary to prevent fraud. It is said mg most lucrative office in New York to-day is that of THE LAW OFFICER OF MR. GREEN who ts, eugesce battling these honest claims, and as tar aslread the public prints he has gained exceedingly few of his cases. Here is the case of acrier in the court. Mr. Green started a sult tor poo ee ai of appointing one against the Court ft bill comes in all the same. THE AMENDMENT LOST. The vote was then ti proposed amendment, and it was lost. MORE AMENDMENTS. Senator CHATFIELD made an amendment some- What similar, which was also lest. | making | THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE COMPTROLLER on any contract sufficient evidence that there is ae Jor its payment, which was car- ried. THE ADJUSTING OF CLAIMS, Senator D. P. Woop made yet another effort for the Comptroller against the restricting ef his pow- ers by striking out all in reference to the construc- tion of his authority to adjust claims, and a sharp play of words ensued between him and the charter Senators in regard to legal frauds and sinecures. Senator MaDDEN inquired if he would make An- drew H. Green a Court? Suppose, said he, the | Chamberlain should apply for his pay and the Comptroller should say, “You have net done the | Werk; you attend to your bauk and have a clerk to do the work ef your public oftice. Besides, your | Pay is too much, and 1 won't pay.” Here, then, is an officer appointed by the Legislature who has to | | G0 to the Courts to get his pay beeause this man, Angel Gabriel shouid be trusted with. | _ Senator D. BP. Woop—Every Comptroller in the | United States has the authority to question the | Tighteousness @f claims which he is catled upen to | pay. To that extent he must be a Court—of lim- | ited jurisdiction, of course ; but that much a Court. I did not think there was such a personal bitter- ness here against Comptrolier Green himself, __ ANOTHER REJECTION, Senator Wood’s amendment was then rejected. THE COLLECTION OF WATER RENTS. Senater D. P, Woop farther proposed to amend section 35 by giving the Comptroller power also to collect water rents, taking it from the Public Works Department. He thought that the power that fixes | We couid understand WHY THAT SHOULD BE UNDER TWEED, | power in bis hands. Ido not suppose there is any such intention in the makers of the present char- ; ter. The amount from these water rents is $1,800,000 | eéived by the same department. Senator BENEDICT thought the collection of water Tents certainly belonged te the Comptroller's de- | partment, and had ne more connection with the blic Works Department than it had with the Chaplain of the Senate. You might as well pass over the collection of deck rents te the Dock Com- missioners | | _ Senator D. P. Woop continued his discussion of the duties of the Collector of Water Rents, and said that Van Nort Rad collected $250,000 more last year | than his predecessor had in previous years, and | that proved there was | SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG in the administration of affairs there in these pre- vious years. It was wromg to have the taxpayer go vo different places to pay his different taxes. PROGRESSED AND A RECESS TAKEN. | Before a vote was taken on this proposition | Senator Woopin moved the bill be progressed, which | yras ‘ved to, and in the Senate it was made @ | Adecial order for the evening eession, at half-past | seven o'clock. THE EVENING SEBSION. Tbe Senate chamber was again crowded to- ment and resulted as follows (names Of Gemocrais |) might to hear the comtinuation of the discussion @eing in italic) :— Yeas.—Senators Allen, Chatflesd, Cock, Harrower, Lord, Lowery, AS Wood, Tiemann, 0’ Brien, Weismann, Perry, Nays.—Senators Benedict, Bowen, Lowis, J.

Wood's amend- ment, which was lost by 6 to 9 Section 36, | relatine to the Chamberisin, waa amended to make | the term.of office of the Chambev‘iain four instead of two pay ef vars, The fortieth section, relative to the tion Attorney and ,Publie Adminis- trator was amended by Mr. Woeditt to allow these officers ten per cent of the costs of \ll cases. An amendment proposed by Mr. Chatfie\d, porate for a published statement monthly of all fines, feos and penalties in the city record and the payment of costs and commissions into the treasury’ monthly by the Corporation Counsel, was agreed t\. THE POLICE SECTION DEBATED. The pelice section was proposed to be antended by Senator Woodin so as to make the Boara! con- sist of five Commissioners, instead of three. Sen- aters Weismann and D. P. Wood favored retaining four, a8 at present, and keeping It non-partisan. Senater Woodin said that putting two democraitc partisans and twe rv cab partisans in it was Making it doubly pai sD. YHR WAY TO MAKE IT NON-PARTISAN was to make ail republican or ali democratic, This® commission is the most important that will be es- tapiiatied by thie charter.

Senator Madden insisted that all the corruption in New York grew out of non-partisan government, and favored a civil service reform that would keep the emer in, no iar bi tag yacemisht . He propose of an amen to the charter to this its discussion was finished. He favored five Commissioners. Senator Benedict thought it was IMPOSSIBLE TO DIVORCE POLITICS the ed from the government of a city so large‘as New Yerk—a city witha poyuiaron, larger than that of most of the States ef the Union, and which has brigades and double brigades of men employed in city oMfces—the government of which requires $13,000,000 a year to support it. It is impossible to ask of the employ¢s of this city to lay aside their litics. Reforms arise, bat ‘live only a little day. ‘ne old Board of Supervisors were non-partisan, and the result was that no one was responsible. Such will always be the case. But to come back to the police, ‘ Senator Woopin—That's what we want to dis- pose of to-night, Senator BENEDICcT—Yes; the police are not the en, and they are con- highest intellectua! oe od of men, stantly et d in diMiculties, for which they have to be ed before the Commissieners. There are thirty or forty trials pending before the Com- missioners all the time, and it requires five Com- missioners to attend to all the business that comes before such a Board. It is a great democratic city, and will doubtless be 80 in next year, though of what particular stripe I don’t know. Here the venerable Senator glanced blandly at “Jimmy” O’Brien, who smil benignantly in return. THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED, ‘The amendment making the number of commis- sioners five was then adopted. Senator D, P, Woop proposed to amend by reduc- ing the number of SURGEONS OF POLICE from twenty-two to eight. He thought that the number named would indicate that the police of New York had really nothing to do but be sick. Senator WEISMANN defended the police, and showed that police surgeons had rather attend to wounded citizens than to sick pelicemen. The amendment was lost. SECTION 47 was amended go that the Board of Police shall, with the approbation, in writing, of the Mayor, call out the militia in case of riot, pestilence er inva- sion. SRCTION 51 ‘was amended to require the consent of the Mayor, as wellas the Common Council, to bulld station houses, &c. SECTION 69 was amended to make the street cleaning contrac- tor make’ monthly instead of quarterly reports of pree ona Waray &¢., to the Commissioners of Public orks. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. Senator D. P. Woop proposed to substitute for section 72 a clause as follows:— ‘There shall be a Department of Public Works, at whose head there shall be three persons who shall hold oflice for four years. THR MOTION WAS LOST by the following vote :— ‘Yeas.—Mevars, Allen, Lord. Lowery, D. P. Wood, O'Brien, Temann, Weissman, Benedict—8 Nays.—Messrs, Bowen, Baker, Foster, Lewis, McGowan, J. Wood, Woodin, Madden, Wagner, Adams, Paimer, Rob- ertson—12, The Senator then moved to strike out all relatin: to a Deputy Commissioner ef Public Works, which ‘was also lost. SECTION 75, relative to water meters, was amended by insert- ing the words ‘except private dwellings” in the list of places where the aporeyed water meters may be placed. Senator Benedict proposed to strike out all of the section transferring the powers and functions of the Park Commission in relation to the Boulevard and streets and roads above Fifty-ninth street to the Public Works Commission. He thought all these streets and avenues should remain under the control of the Central Park Commission and said that he had letters from both Van Nort and Stebbins in favor of this amendment. He had heard of an attaché of the Public Works Department who had so little appreciation of the beauties and wsthetic infu- on one occasion to break up some of the handsome works in the Park and to paint the bronze statues white, and he did not doubt that if he had his wsy the curious animals there would have slaughtered for their hides, BENEDICI’S AMENDMENT LOST. The north country members, without exception, opposed the amendment of Senator Benedict, and | Tiemann finally said that these gentlemen seemed to think it was necessary to live In Livingston, Erie or Cattaraugus county to understand fully the requirements of New York city. Dexter A. Haw- kins, who continues to carry ferward his ideal charter, was meanwhile busy at the ear of various Senators, Davenport and Murphy having retired from that into another line of business, leisurely | disporting themselves in the ladies’ pete The | Motion of Senator Benedict was finally lest by 4. Senator Weismann proposed to amend the sec- tion by requiring the Commission to piece water | meters only when so ordered by a resolution of the | Common Couneil, but it was lost. | THE SENATE ADJOURNS, Progress was then reported and the Senate ad- | journed. The charter comes en again as a special order to-morrow. The senate will probably get threugh with it by to-morrow night, THE BROOKLYN CHARTER. } this morning on the Dill to consolidate the county towns of Kings county with the city of Brooklyn. CITY OFFICIAL PAPERS, Common Council to designate four city papers in- stead of three, Mr. Jacobs inquired if this was intended to make room for the Brooklyn Union. | ine lour papers instead of three. paper the Brookiyn Union? | , Mr. Husrep did not know anything about that. All he knew was that four papers were needed. The motion was carried. Mr. ROCHE moved to leave the expense of these city paper publications to the Common Council to | fix instead of fixing it at $50,000, which was lost. Mr. HUSTED moved to strike out $50,000 and in- sert $60,000, there being another paper added—a | German paper. Mr. Rocnk opposed this motion. Mr. HvsTep said the present law limited the ex- bg to $50,000 for turee papers. Owing to the jarge increase in the German population it was proposed to have the advertisements published in | German newspaper, and that would increase the | expense. He also said, if this power was given to the Common Ceuncil, the expense would be found to reach ten times $50,000. Mr. Jacous mquired if the Committee of One Hundred approved oi this. Mr. Hustep replied that they did, Mr. Rocus insisted that if left to the Common Council this service could be secured for $50,000, Mr. Husted’s motion was carried. CHARITABLE APPROPRIATIONS, Mr. Watt moved to substitute “Southern Dis- pensary and Hospital” for “South Brooklyn Dis- pensary,’’ to which $1,000 is appropriated, Carried. Mr. JacoBs moved to insert $1,500 to the Atiantic | Avenue Dispensary. Carried. | Mr, ROCHE moved $4,000 to St. Peter's Hospital | and $1,500 to St. Peter’s Dispensary. Carried. G Several verbal amendments were adopted, and then the section to submit THE QUESTION OF CONSOLIDATION to the voters of the emtire county came up. Mr. Jacoss raised the point of order that the Committee of the Whole had already adopted a provision that this question shouid be submitted to the people of the tewns only. The CHAIR decided the point of order well taken. Mr. RocHe moved to substitute the charter pre- pared by the Committee of One Hundred, Mr. Husrep raised the point of order that the motion was out of order, as the committee was | how acting on the generai amendmeats, and it was | net in order to move a substitute. | The Carr decided the point of order well taken. | , Mr. SvypaM moved to amend the provision creat- | ing @ Department of Arrears, and for a head to such departinent, known as . REGISTRAR OF ARREARS, jary of $7,500, by having the Mayor and Com- | mon Council appoint such oMcer, at a salary of $3,500, at the expiration of the term ef office of the present Collector. Mr. Jacoss sustained this amendment as more just than the provision in the bill, and alao ag the most economical. | After some discussion Mr. Suydam’s motion was | carried. ATTEMPT TO REOPEN THE CONSOLIDATION QUESTION. Mr. HusTED moved a recensideration of the vote | agopting the amendment submitting the question of consolidation to the people of the five towns, Mr. JACOBS @pposed the motien, saying that the committee adopted that ameudment by a vote of forty to twenty-four, and he thoagnt it wrong to | reopen that question now. = It had been fully dis- cussed and the gentiemen here had voted under @ full understanding. Mr. Jacobs then preceeded te state the case, SETTING FORTH THE GREAT INJUSTIOR which weuld be inflicted wan the people of these towns if they are deprived of the opportunity to say Whether they want to be annexed or not, The ‘ople had beem used to light taxation.

It was not proposed Dad ae ‘additional taxation upon the people of count towns. Mr. ROCHE said he was glad of the opportunity given him to speak of John H. Rhodes, and then proceeded to speak of that gentleman in no com- plimentary terms, showing him te be AN BXTORTIONIST. He then proceeded to show that there would? be nothing saved by the Board of Super- igors. vi Mr. Jacops said it was @ parody on a republican form of government toseek to accomplish by legis- lation what it is known the people are opposed to, and yet that was what was proposed nere new. He ‘was 80 atrenuous in this matter that he was almost prepared to propose that in case one of the five towns vote for annexation all shall be annexed. He said he would ask even this. In the case of the » ANNEXATION OF WILLIAMSBURG AND BUSHWICK the people voted inet annexation, and yet they were annexed, and why? Because a bill was first passed here for annexation. In this case these people, honest in their action and conduct and simple in their manners and customs, come here in advance with a proposition inst this measure. Why not, then, when we kuow these facts, ive them the opportunity to express emselves as American citizens and Ameri- can freemen are accustomed to have the Tight to express themselves? These peo- ple are few in number, and their towns are insignificant compared to the magnitude and deur ol the city adjacent to them; but the; are, nevertheless, honest, well-meaning, law-abid- ing and worthy citizens, deserving of. he consid- eration of this House, and he appealed to the mem- bers to rise in the majesty of their justice and avert this outrage. Mr. Husrep, after paying a hich tribute to the eloquence and thos of his friend irom Kings (Mr, Jacobs), said it was evident that he was like THE CHAMPION OF DRAW-POKER, who always bet heavily when he held a good hand, and when he held a poor one also bet full as heavily asitit wasa good one. He then proceeded te say that as no evils would fall upon these people there could be no harm tn legislating as proposed. THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER Lost. The question was then on the motion ef Mr. Husted to reconsider the vote adopting Mr. Jacobs’ amendment to have the question submit- ted to the people of the towns, and it was lost by a vote of 34 to 41. The committee then rose and reported progress. THE 8T, LOUIS ELEOTION YESTERDAY. . Sr. Lours, Mo., April 1, 1873, The city election to-day passed quietly. A heavy vote was polled.
