SPEAKER MGUIRE TAKES THE FLOOR. Important Discussion on the Canal Policy. RIVERSIDE PARK LEGISLATION. Aupany, April 27, 1875, The debate om rapid transit did not take place to-day or this evening, as originally intended on motion of Mr. Prince, Sills on this subject were made special orders for this evening, but the Canal Appropriation Toll measures had precedence, and the matter Went over for the present. Mr. J. W. Smith introduced in the Assembly the Rapid Transit bill recommended by the Mayor and Common Council of New York, the points of which have already appeared in the HERALD. By the vote in the Assembly to-day on the Pub- Me Inspectors bill, itis apparent that a strong di- vision of sentiment exists among both democrats and republicans, even the New York delegation were aimost evenly divided on the subject, Mr. Jonn Kelly isexpected nere in the morning. It ts understood that an attempt will be made to for- ward the Miller Charter bill this week. Another scare is imminent for Tammany Hall. The “responsible majority” of the Assembly are | again at loggerheads. From the tone of to-day’s proceedings those differences are likely to break out im serions rupture, Speedy adjournment is the oniy remedy which can alone prevent any more political compiications. A CHANGE OF FRONT. At the commencement of the session Mr. Mo- Guire made several speeches laudatory of Tam- many Hail and its powerful infuences. He askea the country democrats where they would be were 1% not for Tammany. To-day this tune was He struck ont right and left, One would imagine he already perceived the ruin of that organization, from its present stupid man- He called the New York delegation “automatons,” puiled by the strimgs of one man and compelled to do his bid- ding. They bad aciose corporation down there. No representative sent to the Assembly from Tam- many Hall could speak his own mind. ‘This remark brongbt down upon the Speaker’s head a | shot irom mr. Thomas Cooper Campbell, who ex- citediy remarked ‘hat no man or combination ever | troubled pim, ‘nen,’ responded the ready | MeOure, ‘you are not in good standing in Tam- y Hal. They will turn you ont at the first ting.” This retort caused a roar of laughter ihe House, and Mr. Campbell took his seat in ence.

Mr, McGuiee replied by si that the democracy of the city of NeW York was one thing, and that of the State was another. It would make no diference to them if such bills were passed. In New York the De moeraecy were mere automatons. One mun there pulls string and all the democrats jump. Not so in the State.

Mr. T. ©, Campne.n replied that he did not object to that provision. Mr. McGuine—There, we have the whole animus of this opposition, Insist upon this star Chamber proceeding aud you destroy the democratic party. “Good God, he exclaimed, “have we come to this!’ The question is asked, ‘Does any ene object to this?” ang the representa- tive of Tammany Hall responds that he does?
