ILL-TEMPERED LAWMAKERS. Vhe Governor Shows His Hand Across the Omnibus Bill. COPPOSING RAPID TRANSIT, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] ALuany, May 11, 1877, The procecdings of tho Legislature to-day were void of any spécial interest or importance, although a con- aiderable: vol: of busivess was transacted. Tho temper of the Assembly is snch that at the slightest Provocation members lose their balance, end questions which, ordinarily, would be passed over as trifling or Bot worthy of notice are made the basis of anpleasant Personal allusivas, and oftentimes of bitter reorimina- tion, Thin state of affairs is regarded by the veteran hangers-on of the Legislature as the premonitory tymptonis of tho Gua! adjournment, and if such is the tse the soouer the break-up does come the better it Will be for the credit of the State. GOVERNOR ROBINKON AND THE SUPPLY BILI, Outside of the legisiative proceedings the main in- terest centred in the action of Governor Rovinson on the'Supply bill and the bearing for and against tho Omaibus bill, It bas been known all along the Execu- tivo was opposed tw. many of the log- rolling items imserted in the Supply vill, q@hile In the Seuate committee, and the rumors that he was especially opposed to the appropriation of $1,000,000 for the vow Capitol seemed to take defnite svape to-day, It was intimated to Senator Harris, chairman of the Finance Committee, that the Governor would preter the bill to be recalled by resolution and amended {b' regard to the item mentionet, 40 as to read $500,000 instead of $1,000,000, This has not been done, however, und it is {reely asserted to- bight, but without any positive authority, that the en- tire Item will bestricken out. The Governor's objec- tions exten@ialso to appropriations tor the asylums at Buffalo apd Pougbkeepsic, TRE EXCISE SQUARBLE, re was anotier running tight in the Assembly over Austed’s bill amending the Exciso law so.as to prevent tho sale of liquor to children under eighteen years without the courent of parent or guar- dia! and to children’ under fourteen years of age whether with of without the consent of parents, und whether the sale be made personally or by 8 wifo, servant or ug When it caine up for its third reading Mr. Cozans made another attempt to get in his amendmont tor the purpuse of bringing the ‘gsuo between the moderate and extreme temperance men squarely before the House, He sald if the ma- jority should deprive himol this opportunity he would ‘ppeal from the majority to the people of the State, air, Husted’s motion, however, ordering the. previous question, was carried by a vote of 68 to 54, and when the bill was put on its final passage, Messrs, Purdy, ©’Haro, .Keclesine, sSpinol Co- zans, Grady ‘aud other democrats explained their negative votes by stating) a fair *spportunity hud not been offered for discussion, und as tho bill was an amendment of the General Ex- cise law, tho prevention ol bringing tho question to an issue on other amendments was an infringement on the rights of the constituencies there represented. The vote on tho passage of the bill was 73 to 33. ‘The HOOK DKrAnTMENT. Cowdin’s bill reorganizing the Dock Department was ordered to a third reading, This dill legislates the present commissioners out of office and provid tor a single commissioner to be appointed by t Mayor, without confirmation by tho Board of Alaer- nen, within ten days after tho passage of the act, In the event of the Governor disapproving of that section of the Omnibus charter which merges the Dock De- partment with that of Public Works Cowdin’s bill will be rushed through on the principle that half aloat is better than nove. , RBVOWLICAN FIGHT IN THE ASSRMDLY, There were no fess than four motions fora call of the House thisalternoon, three of which prevailed, on # billamending the charter of Troy im regard to the appoiptment of poll clerks, giving to the republic: minority of that cily the power of appointing a major. ity of the pull clerks in election districts where the democrats uad a large majority of voters. ‘The bill passed the Assembly sol ZO and was sent to the Governor, but was recailed under a resolution to make clerical corrections, On the occasion of tts passage the fight against it was mado by Burns, the member from ‘troy, but the voto in its favor then was more than 2tol, Burns renewed the fight to-day, stating the ‘bill was the result of a corrupt combination tormed, aod made other charges that attracted the attention of the democrats of the House, who rallied to bis support Both sides then went to work, and, the measure now had developed into @ strictly party one, Hasted, Alvord, Baker and Fish drummed upall the republicans they could, while Burns, Hollahan ana Ecclesine did the same thing on the democratic side, Sixty-five voters were neces- sary to pass tho bill, but at the ond of the first roll cull ovly 51 yeas were recorded. A call was made for tho absentees, and nine more in the aflirmativo wei added to the list, A second demand tor other a! sentees by Husted secured two more republicans, the lophtes, Mbrary and neighboring barrooms being scoured to compel them to como in. Holaban de- manded the result of the vote, and the republicans find. tog they bad but sixty-three, Husted moved a call of the House, which was curried, Brown, from Cayuga, iorced his way in while the doorkeepers were locking the doors, abd Husted, thinking a requisite number of votes had been cast, moved tor & suspension of all further proceedings, The motion was, of course, carried, but it was soon ascertained on voto was still lacking, and then Bal of Washington, moved a cull of the House. The call was put in operation, and Mr. Waddell was brought to the front, which mado sixty- five, Mr. Bradley, of Kings, however, here changed his vote from the allirmative to the wegative, which left the republicans one short again, when Mr, Husted moved another call Mr, Kcclesine demanded that tellers be appointed, and Mr. Corsa, of New York, and Koclesine wore ap- pointed. Tho tollors disagreed in their count tnrce times, and went over it again ior a fourth, when call was decided carried by a vote of Mtoh& The list of absentees was given to the Sergoant-at-Arms, avd during a perfect storm of motions to adjourn, Cowdin, Backenstose und Williams were smuggled in, and the bill was carried, . BUNINKS IN THR SENATE, The Senate heid 4 morning aud alternoon session, Dat, with one or two exceptions, measures of only local importance came up ip the order of business, Sevator Harris, of the Finance Committee, reported adversely tho’ bill providing for the appropriation of Congress, Halt busdin jor 5 offices lative committee rooms, and quite a breezy discussion followed the motion of Senator Starbuck*to disagree with the report, The motion was dotcaled finally by a vote of 21to 8. The bills to prevent fraud in tho sale or exchango of merchandise, and relative to arrears of taxes and assessments in the city of Brookivn, were passed. In view of the probable veto by the Governor of the proprintion of $1,000,000 for the new Capitol batid- sug Senator Morrissey introduced a bill providing tor the removal of the seat of government from Albany to New York city. A KOW OVER THN APPORTIONMENT MLL The Senate Apportionment Vom mitiew met to-night, and the indications are thut they will hold ont woul the small hours of the morning, SuMfictent has lenked out, bdwever, to indicate that” they having a very sturmy time of it, and that the republeans are not harmonious on the Senate wpportioninent. The bill fared by Senator Woodin gives New York and Kings seven and three Senators and twenty-five and thirteen members pectively, Ibe eflect of giving New York and Kings this proposed incrbase tn the Senate is to de- moiish three senatorial districts fn the country so vbat but two dint wost of the Hadson would remain as now constituwd. 1tis understood that Senators Moore andl Toby bold out against any apportionment which nges their district aud hence the discord among she republicans, Muore being a member of the com- ites, One thing 1s morally certain, the Apportion- snent dU! will not be reported in the Senate to-mor- row, ANOTHER CAUCUS. The republicans in the Assembly held another cau- cus this evening afer the adjournment of the session, Tho question of Anal adjournment was very thoroughly gone over, but no time was fixed upon, the provail- ing impression being that if w time Was set the democrats would start on a Mlibustering cam. paign to prevent the passage of measures which it 18 considered important to dispose vi, The questi of an apportionment bili was ulso discussed, and it w agrecd 10 reqhext the committee to report a bil] im mediately, ‘The excise question was bot touched, and abother caucus wili bo beid next Wedneaday evening, GOVERNOK ROWIASON AND THR OMNIBCH BIL. The Governor to-day heard argumente apon the Omnibus Charter vill trom senator Jobn Morri who strongly favored it, ond from Mr, Oswald Owen. dorier, Mr. Morrissey said in effect that the bill was a ‘ood one, and he loped the Gov wonid sign it, f. Oltendorior made an extenced argument in favor of the bill on the ground Of @ saving of exponse to tho city. Mr. Pover Miteboli called avention Shiva te to the fact that tho bill takes away Irom tho Park Com- te missioners all jurisdiction over buildings in parks, so that really park policemen would have no power to maintain im apy of these buildings, Another Clause coniers powers upon a Certain street commis- which is not xistence, but is ex- pected to be created by a bill oi awaiting I objection: gction, and which has such a constitucio to lw tbat it will provably fail, thus leaving |, this particular provision in the charter bill entirely lacking feasibility. The bill referred to, ie thought, was even more incongruons than the Omoibus Charter vill, General Sprague said tt was necessary to have a more harmonious government In New York, and that they should not be governed by the corner groceries, The Governor replied that it would be a good thug to have the saints couduct the go) ment if we only know who are. the saints. He beheved they might be found in corner groceries as well-asan wealthy man- ns, and if the people of wealth took no inter: the government of their own city 11 would be'the! if they were not ‘erned to suitthemseives, He was especially anxious that the city should ve allowed to govern viself, The bill does not save as much money as it should, The ag flelds of reduction are leit en- Urely untouched, The matter of politics would have nothing to do with his decision upon we bili, He in- tended to view it simply asa judge upon the Bench might do, upon ite merits, * Mr, William Allen Butler, as counsel for several steamship lines, argued that section 1%, giving con- trot of the dock property to the Board of Public fected not ouly the public but the privat 4 repeats all existing laws under which there ig a source of revenue from that kind of prop- erty without making any provision for its safe keeping. <A more serious objection, however, ‘s that the important function . of guarding the docks'lor the best purposes of commerce, fa pub into the bands of one man boldiog a buread Do in the interest of economy, but it does not meet that ;. and in regard to the expediency of the r of the Dock Department to a single bo- the present department has been re exercise a legislative function requiring juired hee deliberation and. discretion, sometimes upon conilicting testimony, which would require the deliby erate vote and action of a board of several members, Thre {s « great power Lo put into the hauds of a subor- dinate officer, who 1s appointed mainly as ap engineer with a view to construction and repairs ratber than to judicial aud legislative decisions, Mr, Butler continued by ciaumpy that the clause in question was unconstitutional, as under the constitution, article 0, section 3, the mppointe ment of city officers not elected by the people ts verted im the city authorities, limited to the Mayor and Com mon Council, The it willbe that the Dock De- partment is legislated out of power and no one legisiated into power to discharge their legislative functions, The great interests of commerce should be protected, and even if the trausier we: constitutional the dock property held by priva' steamship companies, who pay trom $20,000 to $60,000 @ yoar (or the privilege of private docks should not be leit subject to the control of a single subordinate. Ho characterized the bill asa crude and fragmentary at- tempt $0 legisiate upon a subject requiring the utmost care, Mr, Dimock, one of tho Dock Commission. ers nnd a steamsbip owner, said the bill had been framed by people who knew nothing of ‘the needs of commet in’ New York city, Mr, Woodin and the principal advocates of tho ‘bill jn the Legislature bad said when tho bill was up for discussion that the argument now advanced by himself uod Mr, Batler was right, and they would seo that it was corrected, but it had not beon corrected, The present vock Commission, he beiteved, bad spent ‘no money which did not return twenty por cent, and BO man On Manbattan Island is dissatisfied with the mannor of expenditure. Mr. Seaman, of the Cromwell line, confirmed what Mr, Dimmock had said regarding the. gutisiaction with which all classes of people regarded the administration ot affairs by the Dock Commission, ana/that every- thing worked smoothly and satisfactorily. Mr. F, W. J. Hurst, 18 manager of two foreign lines, nad a word to say tn favor of the present Commission, although they hau put the rent of docks up from $9,000 to almost $3u,000, Mr. Starin said that he, as agent of various railroads, was paying $200,000 a year rent and working 150 and that before the establishment of commission he and all other ship owners had been ,cpmpelled to pay blackmail in every conceivable form. The only cause for objection to the present Dock Commission was on the part of wurd pol. iticiana who wanted them to distribute Javor tickets to voters in each ward, He himself hid charge of twenty-tour piers. Mr. Bulmer, au archi+ tect, objected to the tragsior of the Kuilding Depart. ment to the Fire Department. The architects wanted to havo experts pass upon their plifys rather than fire. |. nev.

Avsasy, May 11, 187% The Senate Committee on Insurauce held two ses- 81006 on the Ingurance bill to-day and a Jeng session on Thursday, at which addresses were made by many distinguished insurance experts, actuaries and others, The sessions will be continued for several days; Btephen English appeared belore the committee to-day 4m opposition to the general insurance bili passed by the Assombly, an known as ihe Grabam bill, and mado a number of pointe, among others thé follow. ing:— First—That it was framed tn the interest of the large companics to keep down competition by preventing the organization of new companies. (—Thot it fails to protect policy hoiders against fraadalent amalgamations, aud in no way ate tompts to provide for whe winding ap of Insolvent cor- parations. Thurd—That it requites practically duplicate sets of books to be Kopt at Albany, adding greatly to the ex- | pense. of the business, aud the additional dotails aro of ho practical viilue. ‘ourth—It gives the Superintendent unitmited power, creates.a new vet of insurance leeches under the name ol appraisers, and places responsibility of investments of the tunds of the companies upon polite ical appointees, creatures of the Superintendent. ib practically dry competent and responsi- ble men from the managoment of the companies. Sizth—lu limiting the locality of iavescments it tonds to localize the business by invitiog retaliatory Jogisiation of other States, and thus endangers the se ourity of the companies, Smenth—Ip its restriction upon banks recoiving the ‘onds of these companies on deposit, it will cause large amounts t@ be idle, Highth—The limitation of the commission to will drive the business to inferior companies of other Stat th—-By forbidding directors of life companies bolding like positions tn ower Goanciul companies tt deprives Iie companies of the talept they particularly require, Tenth—That tho restriction of the proxies to ninoty days will subject the companies to exorbitant exactious of Agonts, an! give the agents coutrol, Eleventh—Toat the fine imposed upon the companies for falling to make reports required ought to be im- posed on the delinquent officers, and in addition they should be imprisoned in Ludlow Street Jail. Dwelfth—Ho urged the appointment of a commission. In conclusion Mr, Kuglish complained of tho bill as bearing marks of huste, ignorance and prejudice throughout, and said:—‘Lile insurance affects the interests of millions; it pays bereaved families $25,000,000 a year; it materinily assists the develop. ment of our manutactures, trade and enterprise by 118 accumulations of money and loans. The policy holders need protection against dishonest or inoficiont man- agement, the morcenary vending of business, whole aalo amulgamation and the waste of eatate tn livigation, This bill mee tiokers and trifles with an important subject, will do no good and a vast deal of harin.”” REJOICING OVER TOLLS.

The preseut svort supphes of flour are due to the failure of the contractor to fill | that contract, As soon ag his default was clearly avceriaived the Comimistary of Subsitence at Cheyenne was requested to buy tor Immediate wants, and suvpliog of flour, corn, bacon, sugar aud coftve are already on the way there and wil reach the agencies ina Vory few days.

The students of the College of the City of New York were told yesterday morning that, in consequence of the death of Joho Graeff Barton, Professor of English Language and Literature since 1848, the duties for the day would ne postponed out of respect for the deceased. It soon transpired that Professor Barton had com: mitted suicide, For a long time he bad been suffor- ing from nervous prostration, when, to use his own words, “he knew not if his own head were on his shoulders” Two yenrs ago he attempted to take bis life by jumping off a Brooklyn ferry voat, but waa rescued, Upon bis reappearance as professor at tho college, so highly was he esteemed, that no mention was ever mado of bis ate tempted suicide, Last spring he purchased some property in Hamburg, Sussex county, N. nd bat & pretty cottage on tha grounds. A few weeks ago, on nis return to Hamburg, bis family noticed signs of returning unsteadiness of conduct. On Wednesday morning he purchased two ounces of sulpburic acia from a drug store in Hamburg, and he recorved it without Questioning, as he was known to be fond of experimenting. He was not seen agaia till noon, when search for bim wag instituted. He was found seated on the porch of a vacant house near by his house, and by his side lay a cup, which he pointed to, and suid he had swallowed the acid it bad contained, He was taken to his home, and sulfered intensely in spite of the presence of a physician, At tour o’ciock he died. H bal Once sent word to the professors of the college, aud thus was the news cominunicated to the students. There was, however, for some tino no suspicion that suicide had onded nis life, as the note simply stated that Mr, Barton died about tour o'clock. Protessor Barton had been absent from the coliege about four weeks, Ho was at the time suffering from montal depression, which was caused vy the sus- picion that he ‘was to be removed and the fear that political mauagemont would deprive bim of his estabiished ‘position, Lately a com- mittee of Board of ‘Trustees has been holding examinations, and he was summoned to ap- pear before the committee, but Ml health mterfered with his #0 doing. During the spring vacation he wrote on that he would svon bo bick at college, and that he would then leave his home only he was forhidden to do so by his physician. ‘The very day he committed suicide ho wrote again, telling how much his entorced idiencss troubled him und how his mind was upset in conse- quence. Ho would, however, he added, soon be at work again, when he hoped it would never be his task to axk indulgen in of the Buard of Education, Projessor burton 1s to bo buried to-day in his old home, Laueaster, The funeral services took placo yesterduy at Hamburg.

He had been for over twenty-five yenrs connected with the Coliegy of the City of New York, Ho wasa man who was both universally respected and liked. Ho was tall, stately and of commundiag appearance.

PRESTDENT HAYES’ DELICATE POSITION A Strong Approval of the New Southern Policy, ITS EFFECTS ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The Famous Tilden Letter Emphatically Reiterated. semester Boston, May 11, 1877. Thore are few men who have in their day figured so promiuentiy in public life, and then, while In the very prime of their useful career, shipped so completely mto obscure retirement as has Charies Francis Adams, | ‘This withdrawal of Mr, Adams, it should be explained, 48 wholly voluntary; for while he may consent to oc- Casionally become a fancy candidate or Governor at the carnest solicitation of the Massachusetts de- | mocracy, it is nevertheless a fact well known and gen. | erally recognized among bis intimate friends, that of | late yoors, a8 well ag atthe present time, he bas had no desire whatover for political honors, The-allasion | to bis naimg in connection with this ofice and that bas decome so frequent that tho matter has tor along time been considered as a joka by his polities! opponents, a oat there is noone who enjoys this harmicss amusement more hugely than Mr, Adams himself, And hero it should be stated that the common impression ts an erroneous one that Mr, Adame 1s that cold, distant and unsoctal gentleman which he has been s0 often and maliciously described. Repeat this nonsense to his neighbors and friends out in Quincy, and you are immediately silenced by many instances of the pleasing amiability and hearty familiarity of the gentleman 60 often and so grossiy misrepresented, During the winter Mr.| Adams occuples his Boston residence, on Mount Vernon street, but in tho spring, summer and autumn mouths he enjoys the soclusion of his Quincy mansion, which ho formally resumed possession of for the ensuing season this afternoon, much to the gratification of his fellow townsmen, Mr, Adams also has an office (with bis sons, Joho Quincy and Charles Franeis, Jr.) in Pemberton square, 10 the the immediate vicinity of General Butler’s rooms, and on the opposite corner trom the once magnificent r dence of the late Governor Winthrop. A Visit TO MR, ADAMS, It was in this modest and plainly furnished office that the Hara correspondent found Mr, Adams this morning. He was in the midst of a pile of miscel- laneous correspondence which had just been brought in trom the Post Office. He seemed to be—ns he indeod is—onjoying the very best of health, and actually appeared younger than ne did a dozen years ago, in spite of the volumes of vituperation which are continually poured out upon him by his political advorsaries. I found in the course of con- versation that ho takes no more and no less Inter. eet in current politics than an ordinary citizen, He endeavors to keep posted, and if he has an opinion on men and measures he expresses it with moderation, yet In a manner which will admit of no misunder- standing. THAT TILDEN LETTER. In the course of our converaation that celobratea letter which Mr. Adams sent to Governor Tilden on tho Sih of March was casually alluded to. “Ah,’ said Mr. Adams, laughing, ‘that letter seems to have created a good. deal more talk than was noces- sary. I simply wrote to Mr. Tilden that I thought ho was the real President of the United States, and ex- pressed to him my firm beliet that be should have beon inaugurated instead of Goneral Hayes. Tho letter was considered and in fact was written by me asa private communication to Mr. Tilden, and not intended for publication. But when Mr. ‘Tilden re- ceived it he showed it to some of his! most confidential friends, and they were very avxious that he should print it, I was communi- cated with, and asked if I bad any objections to ite publication, and I answered that I had not, and, in- deed, | had no objections, although I bad not supposed or indited 1¢ with the imtention- that it was to be mado public, The truth, however, is stamped upon it and eannot be suid, and I have not yet had it contra- di y iacts. Its truth rendered an solute denial ol assertion impossible, 1 have never regretted that letter, because there was simply the whole truth iu it, and [have a great regard tor what is right.’? “Since indicting that lettor L have received an amaz- ing pumber of communications from ali parts ot the country—some from as distant points as California— many of them lauding iny course and many others of & Vituperative character, manifestly written by druvken persons, and so coarse and vaigar that [ de- stroyed them; but the otgers | have laveiled ‘Yop Guns’ and fled them carefully away.’? | A GOOD WORD FOR PRESIDENT HAYES. In reply to a question about the policy pursued by Mr. Hayes since his inauguration, Mr, Adams an- swered :— “Weil, I must say that I think Mr, Hayes occupies avery hard position—a most difficult one—and ono which 1 would not desire to hold under similar cir- cumstances. As fur he man is concerned | believe him an upright and honesi ono, but he has got u very bard task belore bim, THE SOUTIERN POLICY, “In reference to his Southern policy | think it oue which is more fiable to inure to the benoit of the democrats than to the republicans, tor he seems to be pursuing tho same course which not only the demo- crats but all honest and patriotic — citizens have for @ long time favored. Of course, tt {8 not what such men as and Butler wil! delight over, and, therefore, I am not surprised that thoy ana their kind are liable to Gnd fuult with him, inyes’ policy is entirely and pleasingly different from that of Granvs, and if the Jatter’s had been continued it would have wro: calculable iujury to the country.

Will there bea revoiution omong the repub- licans or a now jusion party of dissatisfied democrats and republicans?” “Well, Ltniok it i@ very evident that there ix no Nittio dissatisfaction among the republicans through- out the entire country—moaning, of course, those of the Blaine stripe, Who were notoriously corrupt during the reign of ralGrant.
