THE STATE CAPITAL. Various Railroad Bills—The Supply Bill Intro- duced—A Proposition to Amend the Scnday Law—State Taxes in the City of New York—Action of the Canal Board— Vanderbilt's Rapid Transit Scheme. ALBANY, March 12, 1874, ‘That Gas Meter Inspector of New York, who was paid by the gas companies, was about as useful in she way Of protecting the imterests of the con- sumers as the statue of Washington in Union square, A bill was introduced to-day by Mr. Lin- colin, of Ontario, providing for a Gas Commiis- missioner, Who shail be appointed by the Mayor, receive $5,000 a year and have no connection with any gas companies. If an honest man can be Jound to do the duties of the position and save cousumers from being swindled by the gas com: panies, his salary wiil not be too high, and he can make bimself a public benefactor, AN OLD BILL BACK AGAIN. Last year a bill was introduced for a railroad on Thirty-tourth street, from river to river. It passed the Senate, but was killed in the Assem- bly. To-day @ similar bill was introduced by Mr. Healey for @ street car railroad, commencing at Thirty-fourth street, on the East River, and ex- tending across town to the Hudson; also proceed- ing from the intersection of Madison avenue and Thirty-iourta street along Madison avenue to Forty-second, along Forty*second to Ninth ave- | hue and along Ninth avenue to Thirty-fourth. The three principal incorporators are William King, | Edward A. Boyd and Jon R, Platt. HE EVERLASTING GILBERT ELEVATED. The Gilbert Elevated road, which was chartered over five years ago, and is still in embryo, comes here again with as cool cheek as ever, and asks for turther legislative favors, The company wants & year and a hall alter the passage of the bili intro- dnced in Seuate and Assembly to day to constract its road to Forty-second street, six months in ad- dition to construct the same to Fifty-ninth street, one year in addition to construct the same to Eighty-sixth street, and six months in addition to finish it off vo the Hariem River; and the usual pro- Vision comes in at the end, that no omission to coustruct apy poruon shall work a forieiture of the iranchise. THE GRAB GAME. Mr. Wagstaf, of the Assembly, is so con- spicuous—being nearly seven feet high—that he 13 | singled out by everybody who wants a bill intro- duced which has a big interest for somebody and no interest for the general public, His bill, or the one he was asked to stand sponsor tor, to regulate the use of piers, wharves and slips in the city of New York, is nothing more than a monstrous grab at the ship privileges of the port. It provides that tne Port Warden shall set aside for the sole use of certain kinds of commerce wharves, piers, bulk- heads, &., aad the game person shail aiso have power to give by written liceuse the exciusive use of piers to those who lease them. THE OLD VIADUCT ROAD. Abillresurrecting the oli viaduct railroad, which | only for the bad hands into which it fell iu the | | time of the lammauy ring is still a far better de- sign for rapid transit than any now before the Le- | lature, Was introduced to-day by Mr. Murray. it asks for the extension of the tame jor the nee shall be managed by nine directors and an election vo be held annuaily.

Evans, and tue Engmeer-in-Chiet of the Department of Pablic Works, It proposes an issue Of $10,000,000, the in- terest on which 1s vo be guaranteed by the city. TRYING TO MAKE AN HONEST PENNY, It is customary to allow damages where prop. erty is affected by the opening of streets in tue city of New York, and on this head vast sums of money have been patd out from time to time, | but abil of Mr. O'Callaghan introduced to-day proposes to give damages to those who think they huve reason to complain ot the closing of any Streets in the metropolis, and, says the Dill: —“it shall be the duty of the Board Of Assessors, upon the written application of the Owner of any jund, buildings or structures damaged by the closing of any street, road or avenue, to make an estimate of the damages, ana on that @ written award | specifying the amount of duimages shall be tiled with ine Comptrolier and be considered a debt against the city.” It would be funny it the city had to py, ‘or the damage done to the real estate on the half-dozen streets closed east and west by Vanderbilt’s depot at Forty-second street. A MORIBUND CORPORATION, It is proposed, by a billof Mr. Calawell, to pro- Jong the eXistence of that moribund corporation calied the Hudson and Harlem River Canai Com- pany, which started out ten years ago with the ambitious design of uniting the North and East Tivers by a snip canal. It is provided in the bill to give them five years more to make an attempt to- Wards Carrying it into effect. THE CURIOUS BROOKLYN BBLEGATION. Bills relative to Brooklyn come pouring in rather Dumerously, The repuvlicaa charter, passed lor ‘that city last year, is threatened with all kinds of amendments, coming chiefly from the democi and these amendatory charters are encountered by Measures of a retaliatory character onginating with the republican leaders im brooklyn. The Brooklyn delegation in the _ Legisia- ture 18 @ curious and inexplicable com- ponne. The members hang together like a punch of grapes and, as there is no man of indivi- dual force among them, there is never much dis- cussion heard on anything concerning the City of Churcaes, The biils affecting Brooklyn come and go like snow fakes in April. A bil mighy be in- troduced and passed io abolish Henry Ward Beecher and tumble down Taimage’s Yabernacie lor all the opposition it might nope to encounter from the Brooklyn members. ‘True there 18 Jacobs in tue Senate, who can speak a piece very well and is spry and plucky on all occasions, and there is Melvin in the Assembly, who will develop inio 4 Daniel Webster if he live long enough and don’t get too fat; but the rest are only so 80, and yet, singular to tell, they manage to bringin an im- Mmense Dumber of bilis and push them along through the different stages of legisla- lation. The Brookiyn silent Safety Ratroad | bill has a title which aptly illustrates the Brook- lyn members. Their motto is “Silence and safety,” and it should be prefixed to the title of every bill they introduce. Occasionally there are | little differences in this happy Jamuy When orders ithe come from their superior ofticers in Brooklyn to do such aud suci a thing. which separates them on political lines for a das or two, but they come together again with a taciturn unanimity that is beriectly touching. THE SUPPLY BILL. The Supply bill was introduced to-day to take its Place on general orders. it was referred back to | the committee untii the reports concerning the appropriations tor public buiidings are ready, In otuer respects it is finished. It standg thus for about $200,000 less than lust year’s bill. It is thought tuat only $700,000 or $800,000 will be added, 10 AMEND THE SUNDAY LAW. Mr. Scherman introduced a bill in the Assembly to amend the act in reference to the observance or Sunday. tt provides as follows:— Sxerion 1.—No person or persons, society or corporation shall be prevented trom keeping oben on the first day of the week, commonly called sunday, any Jawful place of amusement or entertainment, or Irom carrying on at e any business for ‘wnich the same place is except as Hercinaiter provided. No such place of «mMusement or entertainment, church or other house of worship, shall reinmin open during the hours of divine service in said church or house of worship, or for a hali hour before the commencement or aiter We con- clusion of said service. STATE TAXES IN NEW YORK, In the Senate to-day Mr. Wood, from the Finance Committee, reported an amended bill jor the payment of State taxes by the city of New York. It provides that Comptroile Green may issue revenue bonds jor such amounts as may trom time to time become necessary to said p licensed, | Meet such quota Of the State taxes for such periods and at such rate of interest as the Comptroller may desire, not to exceed seven per cet, ‘Those bouds authorized by sec. tion 3, chapter 95 of the Laws of 1573 shall be designated ew York County Bonds for | the State Sinking Fund Deficiency,” and shall be signed by the Comptroiler and Mayor of New York and sewied With tue seal of the Board of Super- v) and torun thirty years, Jn said issue of bgpds there shali be inclu ithe sum of $255,107 uMerest, which las a ued Ob the amount of tax jor which said vonds are autuoriaed, in accord. ance With existing provisions of law. The soard of Supervisors are directed to raise by tax in each year, commencing in is74, a sum equal to one- tenth part of the principal of said bonds to be paid to the Commissiouers of tue simkmg Fund of said city.

VANDERBILT'S RAPID TRANSIT. The Assembly Committee on Railroads gave a hearing this alternoon to Mr. Buckhout, Chief En- gmeer of Commodore Vandervilt’s Railroad, in re- gurd to the ‘Rapid Transit bil introduced yester- day. Mr. Buck the intended road, by which it appears the track is to be sustained at an elevation of fourteen and one-half feet by columns sixteen feet apart, ex- tending over the track of the present street car railroad, ‘The floor of the road 1s tw be twenty four feet wide, bearing two tracks, with smokeless locomotives and light cars, with side entrances, He said the road coald be built mone year.

The Repairing of the Steamship Penn- sylvania—The Lessons of the Late Ter- rthle storm and Disaster Unheeded—Six fron Vessels Constiucting at Philadel- phi PHILADELPHIA, March 12, 1874. The American steamship Pennsylvania is now undergomg repairs at the shipyard of Cramp & Sons, located near the foot of Norris street, In this city. The steamer was advertised to leave this city for Liverpool yesterday, but, of course, the dumages done during the recent terrific storm—tne disasters of which were reported exclusively in the HeRkaLp—rendered her departure impossible, Ac- cording to the oficial report rendered by the oml- cers of the line the ship had sustamed but little damage, and could at once be made ready for sea again, but on visiting her to-day it was found that her main deck fixtures, &., are terribly damaged, and have been almost entirely carried away. away, but her life-boats, without exception, may be regarded as TOTAL WRECKS, so severe was the power and force of the waves, Several of the iron stancheons upon ber port and starboard sides were snapped in the gale a3 if they had been pipe stems, while the iron work of her enuire main deck is severely strained and de- formed, Two of the iron beams in her bow have been broken, and much of her joimer’s work has been wrenched from its place. Itis sale to say that the Pennsyivania will pot again be ready ior sea lor fully six weeks. EXPERIENCE NOT A TEACHER. A great many changes will be incorporated in the refitting of the vessel. Hitherto the officers?’ quarters have been upon the main deck, but here- aiter they wili be below, No persuasion upon the part of the community, however, can convince the company that all houses above deck shoula be con- structed of iron, as they are upon the vesseis of otber European lines; hence the American Steam- ship Company nave ordered that the deck houses and hatches carried away in the storm be recoa- structed of wood. BOATS. THE LIFE Hitherto the lifeboats have been one-half metal- Nic and one-half wood, Upon inquiries irom the shipwrights to-day it was learned that they were in doubt whether to construct the lie boats of metal or of wood, It will cost iully $10,000 to pre- pare the ship for sea again, and it seems that the managers are desirous of fitting her in the most rapid and expedient manner possible. 1t appears that she will go upon tne oroad Atlantic once again, despite the loss of three brave officers, and her terrible experience of the storm, with wooden deck houses, Wooden hatches, and wooden lie | boats, which another storm like the last may carry | away, With @ corresponding joss of human iife, | Archibald. Bark SIX NEW IRON VESSELS. The shipyards preseut a scene of wonderful in- dustry and activity. There are six separate ves- Sels upon the stocks, and all of them constructing for the Reading Railroad line. A common model forms the pian of all, They are ali constructing of iron, The length of each 1s 250 fect, with 37.6 incnes beam, 20 feet deep and a capacity of 1,50 vons, They are named as ioliows:— Keading—To go to sea at once. Harrisburg—Launched February 15. Laneaster—To be launched Monday, March 16, Wilitamsport—To be launched Apri 16. Allentown—To be launched May 16, Pottaville—To be launched June 16.
