‘THE STATE CAPITAL. Coalition Between Vanderbilt and the Third Avenue Railroad. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. Tinkering the Registry Law in Cpposition to Foreigners. An Important Prison Reform—Ambitious De- signs of a Lobbyist—Distinguished Visitors at the Capital—Powers of the Superior Court. ALBANY, March 18, 1874, Fearful of each other the two plethoric corporae tons—that of the Third Avenue Raliroad and the j New York and Harlem—have agreed on a com- promise. They have entered into an alliance, | Offensive and defensive, and their respective bills ‘re amended so that no collision can happen be- tween them, and in a beautiful irame of harmony they expect to glide quickly and quietly tnrough the Legislature. Vanderbilt’s preparations to capture Fourth avenue stirred the Thira Avenue Company to immediate action. To-day the latter had an amended copy of their original bill intro- duced in the Senate, providing that wherever both roads in running over the same ground.come to- gether the construction should be a common cost between them, both roads enjoying the privileges of @ common track; at the extension of Beek- Man street, in tront of the northern end of the Post OMce and in Park row, both roads torun over acommon track, In case of disagreement between the companies, the Supreme Court to de- cide. The Third Avenue Company surther amends {ts bill, providing a forfeiture of $100,000 to the city in case of failure to build a rapid transit road, The ‘Vanderbilt bill, reported from the Senate Railroad Committee this morning, contains amendmefts of @ precisely similar import, both series of amend- | ments having been evidently drawn up by the one hand. Vanderbilt is also willing to forfeit $100,000 if his road be not built within the time specified in the charter. The anticipated fight cannot now come off, and the only question remains, Do these corporations mean to carry out their Promises? Each road could afford to lose the forfeit of $100,000 to preserve its franchise and shut out ati other schemes for rapid transit. Of Vanderbiit’s road it is said that even if 1t were built it would offer but trifing accommoaation to the publie, as trains for passengers would run only every half nour, and that it would be devoted chiefly to carrying freight. The Third Avenue Com- pany could well afford to lose the pledge of $100,000 to keep a rapid transit road from its route. Uniess the Legisiature insists on making the forfeit $500,000 @ lingering suspicion will remain in the poble mind that these companies intend merely | 0 keep the promise to the ear und break it to the hope. A FUNNY KIND OF BILL ‘was introduced in the Senate by W. W. Dayton. it starts out withalong preamble to the effect that the retail business having deserted Broad- ay, that thoroughfare being given up to un- | ey omptb 8, drays, trucks, &c., its only | salvation remains in hav! @ horse var railroad Jaid upon it irom end to end.

THE REGISTRY LAW IN NBW YORK. ‘The Assembly Committee on Cities gave a hear- ing this afternoon to John R. Fellows, J. J. Daven- pert and George N. Wingate on the vill amending he Registry law in New York city. It is a repub- ican measure, which was sustained by Davenport and opposed by Fellows aud Wingate. The feature in it which cannot fall to raise a storm in New York is that which provides that the sons of foreign parents, who come here over two years of age, shall be compelled to produce a copy of their jathers’ naturalization pers. 10 order to get registered as voters.

THE FOG. Trouble on the Rivers—Serious Accident on the Hoboken Ferry—iwo Boats De- molished—In the Streets and Along the Quays. The fact is that New York 1s making a serious effort to rival London for fogs that last and annoy | People. But what makes it more serious in our case 18 that, while in London the fogs only en- danger the safety of pedestrians and vehicles, ‘with us a large proportion of our day population are obliged, for the purpose of reachiag their homes, to cross rivers of no mean magnitude, and the consequences are fearfal to contemplate. ‘This fact was pretty clearly shown forth yesterday in the collision of two ferryboats of the Hoboken | line and the endangering 01 about 1,000 lives, The Hoboken ferry has along and disagreeable road to travel at all times, but when there ts a fog difficulties are added a thousandfold.

By | this bill it is made the duty of the agents and war- dens of the several State prisons of this State to re- quire of all able bodied convicts therein an equal | number of faithiul hours! labor as now periormed ‘by mechanics and tradesmen for a day's work in their respective employments, during such hours as the inspectors shall designate; and each convict in | good faith performing such day’s work, and being , in all respects obedient to the rules and reguia- Zions of the prison, or, if unable to work, is faith. | Yul and obedient, shall be allowed “two months’? on each of the first two years, ‘iour months” on each succeeding year to the wfth year, and “five months” on each remaining year o/ the term of hig imprisonment; and if the convict was sentenced | t imprisonment for life before he had attained | the age o1 tuirty years then nis life sentence shall expire at the age of fifty years, or if sentenced | aiter the age o1 thirty, then his life sentence shall mot exceed twenty years, provided such convict Shall be obedient, and, if able, work laithiully. ASSESSMENTS FOR A PARADE GROUND. The Commissioners of Estimate and Assessments gre authorized by a biil introduced by Colonel | Spencer in the Assembly to impose an assessment | on the property adjacent to the land selected tor a | parade ground for the National Guard, if the prop- erty is really benefited by the establishment of such parade und, and to impose on the city the balance of what awards and expenses are occa- | sioned by the proceeding. | BUSINESS IN BOTH HOUSES. | Though a number of bills passed the Assembly, the only one of sufficient interest fur New York to | demand any mention was that sent here by the Chamber of Commerce, providing for a board of | arbitration, with a chiet arbitrator to be appointed ‘by the Governor, at a salary of $2,500 a year, to | wettle mercantile disputes. The appointment of | chief arbitrator by the Governor was stricken out, | and the Chamber is left to appoint and pay that functionary. | ‘Tue resolution to investigate aa THE BURGAU OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION in New York was lost. | In the Senate Mr. Gross introduced a bill for the | reduction of street railroad fares to Harlem on | the Third avenue line to five cents, and to make a reduction of two cents on the fare to places be- | yond Harlem, in Westchester county. | THE ACADEMY DISCUSSION, The debate on the academy appropriation of $125,000 went on furiously in the Senate this morn. | ing, aud no dlectsive result has yet been reached. Air. Johnson moved that each county be taxed to | support its own academies and on this amend- | ment Mr. Jacobs made a vigorous speech, in fact | the best speech that has been made on the ques. | ion in the Senate. He favored the amendment of Mr. Jobnson, regarding it as a step in the direction | ot justice. The Senator read a tavie showing the | aid by the several counties of the State | ta: lor educational purposes and the amounts | received by them for the support of schools. The | First Senatorial district receives $77,923 and pays $57,852; New York 8 $1,301,067 and receives | only $457,364; the Ninth Senatorial district re- | cetves $88,988 and pays $95,113; the Tenth district | receives $85,036 and pays $30,103; the Bleventh receives $07,085 and pays $68,80s; the | FWeittn district receives $84,543 and pays $56,619; | fhe Thirteenth district receives $64,957 and pays 323; the Foprteenth district recetves $65,160 and pays $23,762; the Fifteenth district re- | Serves $80,880 and pays $97,605; the Sixteenth dis- | trict receives $62,920 and pays $48,071; the Seven- | teenth district receives $75,366 and pays $24,630. | Mr, Jacobs went through all the Senatorial dis- i tricts with his figures, and then commented that it | ‘was clearly unjust to compel New York, Kings or Westchester to pay for the support Of private | academies, in view ol the fact that they were so | heavily taxed to support the common schools of the State. In nearly all the counties of the State | the amount received was far im excess of the amount pata, as he had shown {rom the table he had read. New York and Kings counties were doing | @ great work for education. ‘Their schools were | the pride of the State, and they were not to be | considered as throwing an obstacle in the way of | education because they opposed the appropriation to academies, which the majority of the Senate seemed determined to piace in the bill under con- elderation. This evening the APPROPRIATION FOR ACADEMIES underwent a new phase of discussion in the | Senate. Mr. Fox moved an amendment by way of | @ set off to the appropriation of $125,000 1or the private academies in the State—which are | Dearly all sectarian—that the money derived | from excise be applied to tne charitable and parochial schools of New York city, Mi jadden, suspecting the money Was to be given to Catholic schools, made an assault on the proposition and | denounced tt with great vehemence; and, after considerable taik, the motion was lost by a vote of 16 to 4, On motion of Mr. Ray ap amendment was adopted providing that no part of the $125,000 ap- | propriaton shall be paid to any academy under | sectarian control or which teaches any particular | Feligious doctrine, and the bili was ordered toa shird reading, 7 FATE OF THE MORTGAGE EXEMPTION BULL. ‘The Senate Vommittee on Judiciary will to-mor- row report adversely tie billexempting mortgages irom taxation, and as the Assembly committee, to ‘which @ similar bill was referred. intend to do the | | demolisned, with a good slice of the whee! one J.

It appears that the pilot o: the joboken (ot the same line) had, im the mean- time, taken his boat over to the other side, and, no doubt, considering the Livingstone had had loads of time in which to complete ner landing of passengers, had started for New York, Tne Hovoken therefore came on under full headway | until within a jew leet of the slip, when | her pilot saw the Livingstone still back- ing out, It was too late to reverse tne engines. ‘The crash was inevitable, and the two doomed ferryboats went plump into | each otner with a tremendous force.

The little tugboats were in constant danger, and many narrowly es- | caped being run down. There was much aelay in the departure of the ferrydoats, In the streets the fog was aiso quite dense at times, and at one portion of the day obscured the ‘upper part of ‘rinity and Grace church steeples, and they looked as if they nad been cut off in the middle and the top mysteriously carted away.

Meeting in Robinson Hall Last Night—What Mrs. Lawrenco Has to fay—Her Letters to the Clergy, the Actors, the Caterers, the Clubs an@ the Doctors— Wat Along the Line. ‘The cause of temperance was warmly advocated in Robinson Hall last night by Mrs. and Mr. Law- rence and a number of other speakers. Quite a | Tespectable audience greeted the efforts of these representatives of the crusaders against King Alcohol, and frequent rounds of applause rewarded ther exertions; but whether the teachings of Mrs. Lawrence's cloquence took any deep root in the minds of ber hearers did not appear. No one | Seemed to covet the honor ot being the first who would ‘sign the pledge.” Mrs. Lawrence opened the meeting with a prayer, aiter which a politico-religious patriotic song was sung by the popular poetaster, Mr. J. G. Clarke, the burden of which was:— Men ot action, cloar the way. Mrs. Lawrence delivered the speech of the even- ing. Among numerous other things, she said that she was willing to make every effort in the cause of temperance. The movement might fall for the pioeenh: but scars and martyrdom to-day would ring Vicbury to-morrow. Sie Was going to read soue letters addressed to different POWERS AND PERSONS LN THE STATE, asking their co-operation with the crusaders’ werk. The first was to the archbishop, bishops @Qd clergy of the Catholic hierarchy, ‘tueir infu- euce ie Welt Known with the flocks over which they watch, and duty to God as well a8 man re- guired them to use every effort in behalf of this great and good cause. ‘The next letter was to the Protestant pishops, clergy and people.

Another letver urged the MaLagers and owners of theatres to rally the crasading army; voxes, pit, gallery, dress circle, stage anu all parts of the house should be crowded to the ceiling witn the patrons of temperance. Managers, actors, orchestra, audi- ence, scene shifters, prompters and property men— all suould sign the pledge. Which tueatre, asked the speaker, will be the first to throw its doors open to the ladies’ committee? ‘Tucy will ail be visited in due time. Another letter was directed tothe American press. It was sad to relate, but. evidently true, that tne press, the papers, are sub- sidized by the rumsellers, Yet why should this be so? The news of the present glorious crusade ts ot vastly more importance to us all tian reports of brutal bruisers’ encounters; but editors, re- porters, printers, and the very devils Were on the side oi rum ana rowdyism.

They were to be admired ior their riches, taste, veauty— alltuat adorns the female form. ‘The crusaders are poor, and need every aid irom the wealthy, worthy daughters of Soroms.
