THE LEGISLATURE REVIEWED. Speaker Husted on the Action of the Assembly. What te Koows Aboot the Green ut and Other &i THE SPRING ELECTION QUESTION. | "How the Filibustering Was Pianned and Carried Out. —_——_-—_——— INTERESTING DETAILS. The following interview had yesterday by a repre- sentative of the HxkaLp with General Jumes Husted, the Speaker of the Assembly, will be read with interest by all who have watebed the procendings of the Legis lature during its late session, “General Husted, will you give the Hzmaup, in your opinion, the general character of the last Legislature?” “Far above the average,” saidhe. “It labored under the misfortune of having avery large prepondera of new members and of men lacking in legi parliamentary experience. It was a very ind boay, and, in so far as the majority wys co utterly relused to recognize any leadership, This was made evident at the very commencement of the session, and to such a degree that « conierence was held lor the purposo of settling on a lise of pol 1t resulted, however, in nothing. Qaitea number of gentlemen asseried that, while they believed in party discipline at the polla, they did not recognize its Of alegislative oaturo; that in discharging the con- Stitutional obligation imposed on a member, be himself aust be the judge as to what was bis duty, and that po caucus had a right to determine whether the sup. port of avy particuiar measure was obligatory. This was shown more fully in the case of the Ogden charter. Mad the party in caucus adopted this bill asa party measure, its success would have been assured. It is Utterly impossible for the majority of any legislative body Lo secure a political success unless it submits to party discipline aud indorses and sustains the positions | taken by recognized leader It is ike an army going futo battle with fifty colonels without a coun cil of war and without a commanding general, Why, it was with the greatest difficulty that the Supply Dill was passed, and that, too, when it was admittedly the cleanest billof the kind that bad been submitted to the Legislature for many years, simply because tome few gentlemen declined to submit their private judgments to the general judgment of the party.” “You speak of political taiures, you to say that you regard the jast Legisiature as a failure?! “By no means, The Legislature of 1876 may look Dack upon its proceedings with the consciousness of knowing that wine it did great good it did the State noh Why, sir, this Legisiature did what the Legislatare of 1874, with all its genins and dash, failed in accomplishing. 1t passed the constitational amend ments in reference to the State prisons and cunala In addition to these two great reform measures it has Adopted the school amendment, has passed tho Stato Prison and Canal Retorm Investigating bills; bas reduced taxation tw a trifle r three mills; bas adopted an appropriation vill and a canal budget | which challenge criticism, aad enacted a supply bili which Governor Tilden himself was forced to compli- ment by messaze. There has not, iu my opinion, in forty years sat at Albany a Logislature as patustaking, As Watebful of the interests of the State, as economical In its appropriatfou of the public money as this same body, which has received such indiscriminate abuso, when it should, on the contrary, have received enco- miums for its watchiul care of the pablic interests,” ri LEGISLATIVE ACTS AND PAILURES, ‘Are you not taking @ rather rose-colored view of the situation?” “Notatall. 1 allade to what the Legislature bas done. I refer to the statutes that it has enacted As to what it failed to do I will be equally explicit, and 1 think 1 can explain to your satisfaction why it failed to do a good many things, It failed to pass the bill for A spring election from tear that the party vote could Bot be brought to the poils except in @ general fall canvass I think, and have always thongnt, that as in most of the cities and villages in the State, ‘be charter oiection in New York should be disso. tiated from the political furor and hurry-scurry that are inseparable trom a State or national canvass. 1 be- lieve that when the question ts one that is brought Hirectly to the attention of tho taxpayers, as it would be if the election vecurred in the spring, the solid men of Now York woald cheeriully give a day in order to secure the safe administration of their property tor ‘year. But where the elections are continued as now the apparently lesser question is merged 1 the greater, and the political hue and cry drowns out the question of municipal reform and of economy in municipal ad- mivistration, the imevitable resait is that the politician walks away with an ollice in one pocket and a taxpayer in the other,” “Why was not the Tammany charter repealed?” “The question was never agitated at Albany. 1 once askeu @ leading Semator who, it was re- ported im the papers, proposed to introcuce bili for that purpose, if such was his inten. tion? His reply was that if the special acis Of organization were repealed the society could reor- ganze under the general law and become possessed anew of all the property rights and franchises that it tow hokia. The general impression seemed to ve that B mere repeal of its charter would wot affect the Tam- Many Socioty tor better or worse. That the disease required a more potent remedy.”” WHY THE CHARTER MILLS FAILED, “(How came it about that the greater portion of the bills affecting the New York city cuurter iauedt” o “For several revsons.

Those bills were never before the House and no ruling was ever given upon them. ‘The ouly subtio rulings, it they muy so be called, were those given when, aller a temporary absence from the urning, ruled the proceedings of the min- ority subsequent to und pending an appeal from the decision of the Chair out of order, for the reasoa that the appeal was the only question Uetore the House that partook of a substantive character, That rahing put an end to the libustering proceedings and lorced the voue ‘on the school amenument.”” “T perceive that you have been criticised for moving to adjourn the House on Tuesday nightaiter your Rapid Transit bill was defeated, the inference beimg that if you bad not made the mouvon the House would have Continued in session and finished up its basiness,” “It was ono o'clock at night when the vote was taken, The House had been in almost coutinuoas session since nine o'clock m the moro!

In no other way was it possible. Every bill on the table, by the provisions of the joint rules, had to be acted on first, and there was an abund- ance ofthem. The Senate declined to extend the time, and with them rests theretore their shure of the re- A sponsivility, t deal of the time of the session Was Wasted in useless discussion of unimportant bills in Committee of the Whole. A great mistake, too, was made in fixing a tinal day of adjournment re the business of the Legialsture was completed. Had no such resolution been in force there would have been nov motive for filibustering, An obvious error aiso occurred in holding important bills so long in the com- mittces, thereby delaying final action until the jast agontes of the session supervened.

DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS AT A PUBLIC MEET- ING LAST NIGHT, An organization calling itself the Independent Labor Party had a meeting on the top floor of Masonic Hall, East Thirteenth street, last night. The organization has been in existence since January last, and, judging by last nights proceedings, it 1s about time its existence should be brought to aclose. Mr. Wiiliom A. Carsey is the President of the ofgunization and its iounder, but the Orst business last night was tho appointment of a temporary chairman named Habert McNevins, The hall was filled with a gang of rufflans, but very few of whom were members ot the organization ‘aud whose vocation —ap- peared to be swearing and yelling to an un. imitod extent, A committee appointed at tho last Meeting (0 Investigate whether Prosident Carsey had received money from outside parties, reported through its chairman, Mr, Madox, that they had discovered Mr. Carsey received $25 from a Mr. Miller, This was greeted with the most hideous yelis, eat calls and oaths, and fifty men moved to throw Mr. Carsey out of the window or out of doors at once. The chairman cxhibited no desire whatever to quoll the disturbance. Finally Carsey got a chance te talk,. and said that he had received over $40 from different persona, and that it had been expended, with $20 of his own money, to pay the rent tor the hallfor weekly meetings, This was greeted with the usual strong janguage. An old man named Mcintyre, who pretaced every word with an vath, said “they,” whoever he meant by that, “were being sold out, and that no person could buy his cal influence, | (Unorus of yeils, intorminglea with “How much as it worth)??? A motion was made by a member to call the roll aud order all those not delegates out of the room, but it only camo near having the proposer and some orderly mombers tbrowa out, Madox finally got the floor, and charged Carsey with running the whole ma- chine tor his own aggrandizemont and making money by it also, that he nad collected a large amount of money and pat it in bis pocket. Caxsty—You lie, and you know it. ‘Thea followed» most indescribable confusion, in which everybody joined. Carsey responded by stating that Madox had never gone back on him until he stopped giving him money, and that he had paid bim | $20 «within a few weeks, The whole house its fees demanding the names ot the other “strikers. ’ “Give us their names,” said one disappointed striker, ‘and we'll hang ’em all together.” Madox explained that the $29 was part payment of « loan he made to Carsey two yeurs ago, ‘This was received with derisive shouts of the usual emphatic character, Finally, to prevent a row, which Was imminent, the Coairman declared the meeting adjourned at the call of the chair.

Yesterday was he eighty-seventh anniversary of the Tammany Society, and the Wigwam on Fourteenth strect was last ovening the scene of tue annual gathor+ ing of the braves. The solid men began to arrive a early as seven o'clock, and soon filled tho ante-room on the first door, Atthe mystic hour of eight o'clock precisely the camp fires were lighted and the warriors marched in line to the secret. chamber, somewhere down among the foundation stones of the building. At the door leading to Unis sacred and mysterious cavern stood a sieru aud warlike Indian, wearing on bis manly shoul- ders a regalia very similar to that of the Ancient Order of Hlveruiaus and carrying on his tongue an accent of a hike order.

Davenport (lowa) Democrat:—A Washington special says that in spite of theofficial conial Grant has gotten himself into a very disreputable position in the Custer business. He first insulted the cavalryman and thea tried to disgrace him. It is not improbable that Grant's treatment of Custer may result in a committee of in- quiry which will lay bare the indecent warfare waged by the Executive, not only upon Custer, but upon other soldiers who haye, in obedionce to Congress, testifled as toarmy abuses, In tho Custer case Grant's conduct sounds like a chapter from tho history of some East- ern despotism.

This was probably aiterthougnt of Mr. Grant's, when ho discovered that the removal would be decidedly re- pugnant to the feelings of the people. It is stated on good authority that he lately ailowed Gonerat Cusier to sit several hours in his ante-room, and then sent word to him that he could not see him, A mun who could bo guilty of such a petty piece of meanness, would go as for in that direction as he dared to. Hartford (Covn.) Times :—Grant bas degraded Gen- eral Cnster, one of the most efficient of tho army offi, cours, for the reason that he testified before a comnii of Congress in reyard to the Belknap and other corrup- tions. Grant called it “cireulating slanders,” and though he is the ablest general for irontier service in the army Graut degrades him to the rank of lieutenant colonel. General Custer wrote the following which he tried to get excused from coming ington to testify, But the committes would not ex- case bim, and ho was obliged to appear at the seat of weyers and testify. He told the truth, and is pun- for il | St. Louis Times :—Sinco President Grant, by remov- ) ing General Custer from his command, has openly com- ted nimsell to the policy of suppressing the ex- sure of frauds under bis administration, it can no nger be doubted who was responsible for the Pierre- pont letter and its publication.

NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY,-MAY 13, 1876—WITH SUPPLEMENT. witness in the Belknap tmpeachment | Tt onght to be dicterly | | | wmy THe SECRETARY OF THE TREASURT WAS BLACKBALLED IN THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB—WILLIAM M, EVARTS CONDEMNS THE ACTION, ‘The remarkable event which (ook place at the Yegu- lar monthly meeting of the Union League Club the H other night—the casting of twelve black balls against | the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Bristow—was the topic of general discussion yesterday in all public places. The feeling was that of amazement that avy- body could be found in so select a club foolish enough to display any animus against the Secretary at this critical juncture of the politics of the country. Nearly everybody coudemned the action of the twelve | Diackballers as highly discreditable to the Union League and likely to give rise to the suspicion of the existence of a political clique witbin its household, | The first impression conveyed to the puble by the re markable act was that some of Sonator Conkling’s friends had deliberately intrigued to put this affront on the Secretary. But the majority of the thinking men and members of the club regarded this theory ag an utter absurdity. Another notion cntertained by some was that thé younger clement of the club, which is strongly axtagonistic to the admission of politicians to meinbership, deliberately voted agaiust Mr. Bristow on principle, ‘This, too, was scouted by the members visited. The Custom House Ring was next charged with having voted against the Secretary; bat it 1s said that those of them who were present really voted for his election. Neither Collector Arthur nor General Sharpe, the Surveyor of the Port, was present; but it ts be lieved that it they bad been they would have voted tor ‘Mr. Bristow. This, however, is mero speculation, al- though well founded, for Mr. Bristow ts regarded favor- ably by a great many of the Custom House Ring, noiwithstanuing bis reduction of staff and salaries in that department, ONE RYEMY FOUND. At the Union League Club on Wednesday night was Mr. Charies W. Durant, Jr., who. according to nis own adinission, voted 1m the negative, partly on personal and partiy on political grounds, 1t is said of this gon- tleman by members of the club that his personal rea- sons were by far the strongest, and grew out of a de- cision reudered against the firm of Durant in a claim tor “drawbacks” some time ago. ‘Ihe house lost some thousands of dollars thereby, and many are convinced that Mr. C, W. Durant Jr, with his friends, organized the defeat of Mr. Bristow, which has so much chagrined the 118 mhembers who actually wanted the Secretary to belong to their fellowship. [It was easy to upset the vast majogity, as under the rules ten per cent ofthe members at any stated meeting can blackballa candidate. Twelve youes were suflicient 1m this tn- stance, and twelve were cast against the Secretary. ‘With regard to his motion Sir, C. W. Durant said yes- terday that he had been wronged by the Secretary in business matters, still he contended tnat he did not know of any concerted action in the matter, His po- Nucal reason for voung against Mr. Bristow was that, as.he would pogsibiy become a candidate for the Pre: dency, & Volo tn an organization like t Club would have great weight in Mr. Bri Ho (Mr. Durant), did not think that the Secro- BRISTOW BLACKBALLED. to his own, WUAT OTHERS TAINK. Notwithstanding Mr. Durant’s position and assertions, nearly every mombef of the club differs with him. Each of the 118 affirmative voters, it is claimed, aro more than ever the friends of the outraged Secretary, and are anxious to have the matter remedied 86 far possible. Thoso seen by the Herat reporters yoste day were unquaiified in their condemnation of the act, Mr. W. M. Evarts, who, however, had not been at the meeting on Wednesday, said that '*it was a most dis- creditable thing to have done."? This was tae opinion of Colonel Legrand Cannon, Jackson 8. Schultz, Hon, Isaac H. Bauoy, ex-Judge Charles A. Peabody, Mr. Thomas Acton, Superintendent of the United States Assay Uflice; United States District Attorney Blies, As- sistant District Attorney Russell, William Orton, United States Assessor Blake, Postmaster James, Jobu I, Dav- onport, Salem H. Wales and a host of others. Last night at the Union League Clun there were many members who had not attended the unfortunate meet- ing referred to, and they added their protest against the blackballing of the Secretary. Some of them claim that he is more popular now in the club, which is tndinant that any such course should have been pursued toward him, Many of them are anxious that the Executive Committee should take the matter in hand and act under the provision of the bylaws here- inatter quoted:—*‘Nu candidate who sball have failed to be elected by the club shull be again proposed tor one year, except upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee, such recommendation to be posted at least two weeks prior to a monihly meeting,” It ts altogether likely now that such will be the course adopted. It is, mm fact, understood that tho Executive Committee will recommend tbat the Secre- tary be elected, and itis also probable that the recom- mendation will be accompauied by some amendatory resolution.
