‘THE STATE CAPITAL. Coalition Between Vanderbilt and the Third Avenue Railroad. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. Tinkering the Registry Law in Cpposition to Foreigners. Ax Important Prison Reform—Ambitious De- signs of a Lobbyist—Distingniah Visitors at the Cavital—Powers of the Superior Conrt. ALBANY, March 18, 1874, Fearful of each other the two plethoric corpora Clons—that of the Third Avenue Raliroad and the New York and Hariem—have agreed on acom- } flowed With champagne, and General Spinola, to promise. They have entered into an alliance, | Offensive and defensive, and their respective bills | are amended so that no collision can happen be- tween them, and in @ beautiful :rame of harmony they expect to glide quickly and quietly tnrough the Legislature. Vanderbilt’s preparations to capture Fourth avenue stirred the Third 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 front 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 Its 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 Rauroad Committee this morning, contains amendmd—ts of @ precisely similar import, both series of amend- ments having been evidently drawn up by the one hand. Vanderbilt is alvo willing to forfeit $100,000 if hia 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 torfeit of $100,000 to preserve its franchise and shut out ali other schemes for rapid transit. Of Vanderbilt's road it is said that even if it were built it would offer but trifling accommoaation to the public, a8 trains for passengers would run only every half nour, and that it would be aevoted | chiefly to carrying freight. The Third Avenue Com- pany could well afford to lose the piedge of $100,000 to keep a rapid transit road from its route. $500,000 @ lingering suspicion will remain in the | ayes mind that tnese companies intend merely 0 keep the promise to the ear and break 1tto the bope. A FUNNY KIND OF BILL ‘was introduced in the Senate by W. W. Dayton. It gtarts out withalong preamble to the effect that the retail business having deserted Broad.

He pledges himself to nave the street swept every twenty-four hours, from Union Square to the Bat- | trom this side, and nad, in tact, returned to tery. He a singularly liberal, off-hand, philan- thopic person, is this Jones, anu his nobie pursuit in Albany is that of a loboyist.

THE REGISTRY LAW IN NW YORK, The Assembly Committee on Cities gave a hear- ing this afternoon to Jobn R. Fellows, J. J. Daven- port and George N. Wingate on the vill amending the Registry law in New York city. Itis a repub- ean measure, which was sustained by Davenport aud opposed by Fellows aud Wingate.

UNCLAIMED BANK DIVIDENDS, Mr. Cauldwell introduced a bill in the Assembly relative to unclaimed bank dividends, which amends an act already on the statute book so that all banks, other than savings banks, shall cause | an accurate statement of all dividends and de- josits and all moneys and evidences of dept, oans and trusts in their hands and remaining un- paid for two years preceding, to be published mm the official newspapers of the cities and towns where they are lovated and in the State Papers.

FE TE Meeting in Robinson Hall Last Night—What Mrs. Lawrenco Has to fay—Her Letters to the Clergy, the Actors, the Caterers, the Clubs the Doctors— War Along the Line. ‘The cause of temperance was warmly advocated in Robinson Hall last night by Mrs. aud Mr. Law- rence and a number of other speakers. Quite a respectable audience greeted the efforts of these | Fepresentatives of the crusaders against King | Alcohol, and frequent rounds of applause rewarded thew exertions; but whether the teachings of Mrs, Lawrence's eloquence took any deep root in the minds of her 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, alter which a politico-religious patriotic song was sung by the popular poetaster, Mr. J.G, Clarke, the burden of which was Men ot action, clear the way. Mrs. Lawrence delivered the speect 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 fail for the peoeanhs but scars and martyrdom to-day would ring Victory to-morrow. Sue was going to read sowe letters addressed to different POWERS AND PERSONS IN THE STATE, asking their co-operation with the crusaders’ w6rk. The first was to the archbishop, pishops and clergy o1 the Catnohe hierarchy. ‘iheir infiu- euce is well Known with the flocks over which they watch, and duty to God as well as man re- quired them to use every effort in behail of this grees and good cause. ‘The next letter was to the rovestant vishops, clergy and people. She im- plored the pastors to inaugurate a new epoch by using water in place of wine WHILE ADMINISTERING THE SACRAMENT; to employ the hecculean strength of God's mighty Gospel, in order that the tempter mignc be driven trom our midst, ‘The letter following was to the Union League, the ‘l'ravellers’ and other clubs, ap- pealing to their inembers to dispense wita alcool in all ifs iorms as a beverage, and to arm for war to the knife against the poison of man’s lie, Next week a ladies’ committee would visit all the clubs, and pray with tue people there to stop THE CANKER WORM OF ALCOHOL that is eating into the vitals of our race. Another letter urged the MaLagers and owners of theatres to rally the crasading army; voxes, pit, gallery, dress circle, stage and all parts of the houge should be crowded to the ceiling with the patrons of temperance. Managers, actors, orchestra, audi- ence, scene shifters, prompters and property men— all suould sign the pledge. Which theatre, asked the speaker, will be the first to throw its doors open to the ladies’ committee? Tney will all be visited in due time. Another letter was directed tothe American press. It was sad to relate, but evidently true, that tae press, the papers, are sub- sidized by the rumsellers. Yet why should this be so? The news Of tke present glorious crusade is ot vastly more importance to us all tuan reports of brutal vruisers’ encounters; but editors, re- porters, printers, and the very devils Were on the side oi ram and rowdyism. An additional letter dished up an ixisn stew ior discussion with MR. DELMONICO, the great culinary Colossus, who, she said, is now ladling ous soup to thousands ot poor wretches wlose ruin has been eftected by the poisons of which he ts so lavish a distributor. He is rich out ot human wretchedaess. Tue cuampagnes, wines and bran- dies and otber slow puisons which corrupted the taste and emptied the purse, leading, as tney do, to every crime in the calendar, should pe banisned trom the taoles of all classes and Deimonico's occu- pation destroyed. ‘ihe ladies of tne Sorosis Club were now appealed to bya telling letter. They were to be admired tor their riches, taste, veauty— alltuat adorns the female form. ‘The crusaders are poor, and need every aid irom the wealthy, worthy daughters of Sorosis. Would they lend their countenance to the movement, extend @ helping hand tu rescue parents, husbands, broth- ers, lovers, iriends irom a drunkard’s disgraceful, premature grave’ Would they pray with the la- dies’ committee that might wait upon them? The reajer read a levter to the stock brokers. (Loud laughter.) Thirty-tive billions passed through the Clearing House last year. A large sum irom this tubuloug amount had gone forrum. (Tittering among the audience.) Would they now go “short”? on whiskey and “long” on water’ ould they “bull” the (paris and “bear” the water? (Ap- plause.) That is the question. A DOSE FOR THE DOCTORS consisted in the fact that New York is paralyzed by the use or intoxicating liquors. There is dan- ger of delirium tremens to tne patient and danger of pocket as well as pulmonary consumption, ‘Their Latin prescriptions, divested of technicalt- ties, meant woihing more than “brandy and water, @ big dose.” Alter the speech of Mrs. Lawrence Mr. Lawrence made another in the same strain. He announced that, as it costs money to get up meetings of this Kind, Mrs, Lawrence would go round and take uv @ collection for the benefit of the cause. When this unexpected announcement was made the noise of retiring leet among the audience played a cadence 0 Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching, Before closing a number of eloquent speakers addressed the audience in the name of religion and vemperance, adjuring them by ali that is toly to sign tne pledge, but somehow of other the peo- ple were say of it. Temperance in Brooklyn. Yesterday afternoon about 200 ladies, young and old, assembied in the schoolroom attached to the South Presbyterian church, Amity street, near Clinton, and engaged in prayer for the success of each otner with a tremendous force, Any ferry- known that those of the world, The immediace consequence was that the ladies’ cabin of the Livingstone was completely while the gentlemen's cabin oi the Hoboken was Knocked to pieces, and the rudder was so smashed The scare among The Hoboken was on the property adjacent to the land selected for a | crowded with passengers, but they were mostly in parade ground for the National Guard, if the prop- erty is really benefited by the establishment of such parade ground. and to impose on the city the balance of what awards and expenses are occa- | have been much more sioned by the proceeding.

In the Senate Mr. Gross introduced a bill for the reduction of street railroad fares to Harlem on the Third avenue line to tive 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 furtonsly in the Senate this morn- | ing, and no decisive result has yet been reached. Mr. 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- | sion in tne Senate. He favored the amendment of Mr. Johnson, regarding it as a step in the direction ‘of jnstice. The Senator read a tabie showing the amount paid by the several counties of the State in taxes jor 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 pays $1,301,067 and receives only $457,364; the Ninth Senatorial district re- | ceives $88,988 and pays $95,113; the Tenth district | receives 0386 and pays $39,103; the Eleventh receives $67, and pays $68,804; the ellis district receives $84,543 and pays $56,619; he Thirteenth district receives $64,957 and pays 323; the Fourteenth district receives $65,100 and pays $23,752; the Fifteenth district re- ceives $80,880 a pays $37,005 * eee ke dis- | trict receives $62,920 and pays $48,071; the Seven- teentn “als trict receives $75,366 and pays $24,630, Mr. Jacobs went through all the Senatorial dis- tricts with his figures, and then commented tnat 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 lar im excess of the amount paid, as ne had shown trofi the table he had read. New York and Kings coun A great work for education, ‘Tneir 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- eideration.
