@ THB STATE GAPITAL | Republican Gerrymandering in the Apportionment Bill. INJUSTICE TO THE RURAL DEMOCRACY. ! Half a Million Appropriated for the New Capitol. | A VETO UNDER A MISAPPBENENSION. ——— ALBANY, May 21, 1577. ‘The galleries of the Assembly Chamber were Billed to overflowing with “unemployed workingmen” when the session opened this afternoon, but asa force of police were close at hand no trouble was anticipated. Mr, Alvord, after the reading of tho journal, said that, atthe request of some of his democratic friends, he moved that tho Apportionment bill be made a special order {or to-morrow morning. This was curried, and Mr. Alvord stated that the bill would have been con- sidered last week, but the delay was occasioned by the democrats, and not by the republicans, as has been charges. There is every probability that there will be a bitter Mght over the question of apportion- ment from tho fact that general dissatisfaction prevails among both parties, Every member, of course, supposes that, once electad to the Assembly, he possesses a life tcuuro of office, and any attempt to interfere with the Podank or Squodunk district, as the case may be, is au outrage of the most flagrant char- acter. Opinions are very much at variance, too, a8 to the wisdom of the policy of passing an apportionmont bill atall, Woodin’s is so framed that, while it has the appearance of equitablo treatment of New York and Brooklyn, it would be next to au impossibility for & democratic Sevator to be returned west of the Hudson River. Bradley's aud Starbuck’s districts are hopelessly loaded down, and it is thought that Loomis’ and Lamoni’s districts are #0 arranged as to be secure forthe republicans, This mal & loxs of four democratic Senators im the country, as inany if tot more than would be gained In New York or Brook- lyn. Senator Schoonmaker said to me to-day, in spenk- ng Of the bill, that he thought ‘‘Woodin had al- sempled to do justice to the cities and aofeat tho democratic party Jn the State, and has succeeded.’? THE CAPITOL APPROPRIATION. When the bill appropriating $500 000 for the new Capitol, $100,000 for the Buifalo State Asylum and $50,000 tor the Eudson River Hospital was announced from tho Senate Mr, Alvord moved that it be ordered to athird reading, Ho gaid that arrange:nents had been made that $400,000 of the half wiliien should bo devoted to day’s work on the Capitol He trusted that there would be no objections to giving unauimous consent to ordering the bill to a third reading, QUESTIONS OF PRIVILEGHS, At this point Mr, Childs stood up to a question of privilege and repudiated the statement in an Albany paper that he bad attended a workingman’s moeting Ailer the veto of the Supply bill and said he was out of accord with the Governor. He then proceeded to deny a series of other statements Albany papers that he promived to override th vernor’s veto and after- ward voted the other way. Ho said that, on the con- trary, wuile he was in sympathy with the working- ‘man he was not propared to pluy the rd/e of the dema- pogue. Mr. Ecclesine to a queation of privilege, and jaid that be would not be buil-dosed by any statements nade 1n regard to hie motives in voting on the Capitol al. le would vote as his judgment and conscience dictated. Mr. Alvord insisted upon hig motion that tho bill be ordered to a third reading, whon Mr, Spinola objected unless ab amendinent Le was preparipg was put in Alvord immediately made a parliamentury flank movement, to the great umusement of the repub- leans, ucd Mr. Spinola was knocked out of tune, The previous question was called for, aud some of the dpmocrats who voted last Friday against the motion to override the Governor's veto bud a perplexing time making explanations, because the repubilcupa evi- deutly bad the inside track aud the applause of tho mob on their side. Mr. floahan felt the emburrass- ment of the situation and declined to vote, but, the House refusing to oxeuse Lim, he voted in the neg- tive. A SERIRG OF RXPLANATIONS, On the final passage of the bill members made a series of explanauions Mr. Fish said that when tbe sovernor gent in bis veto of ibe Supply bul be ap- Proved of it, bat he bolioved thero ought to be an ap- propriation jor the new Capitol, a8 be did not believe io the policy of stopping work On the building on the Erounas of ‘economy, Mr. Gilbert charged that the democrats and the Sovernor had met the question Of au appropriation | ‘or the Capitol by a destructive policy, that of stop- ping work altogether and bringing ruin upon the duitding. dy voted no because he believed the bill was through without consideration. ‘Dr. Hayes believed the proper policy would bo to appropriate (wo or three millions tor the Capitol and ‘Snish it at once, Holahan voied in the affirmati What the repuviicans were weil awa! 2nor would voto the ivem of a million and & fused to modity it in order that they might wring politigal capital out of the workingmen. Mitebei! voted yer suid that woile there were Many honest men ia the mob thal members to override the Governor's ibere were many more loafers, braggarts and cowards out all of them put together and armed with a pistol tpiece woulde’t intimidate him. Mr, O'Haro yoted no because be didn’t beliove in in- Wmidatido, though If none happeued er pono was 10W being used he would vote the other way. PARBAGK OF THE HILIn After almost everybody nad wnado an explanation the bill passed by 95 to 7. PLATE GLASS INSURANCE, The bill in relation to plato gins insurnneo compa- nics, alter being returned from the Senate with a Lumber of amendments, the naturo of which only a few members understood, was passed with one vote to Spare, but pending ® motion to reconsider and an Sinendment to lay on the tavlo an adjouroment was iaken, 80 that the bill comes up the first thing in the morning, with a better understanding as to the real sharacter of the moasure, which some are digposed to tonsider a fraud, i CHEAP Gas. In the Senate this evening Senator Banden’s bil! to sheapen gas im the large cities of the 3t was con- udered in @ facetious manner in Committee ot tho Whoie, and w Itogetber as entertaining us a variety show. Senator Basden urged his bill with much more Hearness of statement and expression than he was sredited with being cupabie of, but the Senators were determined 10 have goine fub at bis expense, and they tad it. As for his bill, nobody could tell what tt looxed ile OF whore it stood. THX METROPOLITAN REALTH When the farcical debate ended the Go two vetoes to the Senate, one of which was founded on a mistake. Lt was the veto uf a bill 0; Senator I" repealing that part of the Metro, of 1866 ring, to the tow t ishing, Newtown and Jamaica, Tt te xevernl yeurs since the act creat- jog a Metropolitan Health Distriet, taking in Richmond, Kings and part of Queens countie: repealed, but ‘Dy ob oversight tho towns named were not included io the repeal. Although their sanitary afairs have been Attended to by the local authorities, still the acts ot these authorities were ali illegal on account of the blunder roferred to, and the object of Mr. Prince's Dill was to obviate (his and restore the towns to their normal status, The Governor must have been under the improssion that the Metropolitan Health District tet was atill uurepeaiea.

NO ABLE-BODIED PATROLMAN HEREAFTER TO HOLD 4 SINECURE ON THE FORCE FOR PO- LITICAL CONSIDERATIONS. A resolution was passed yosterday by the Police Board which effectually does away with the old time practice of allowing able-bodied officers to be detailed | on light special duty at the request of politicians or citizens who make application for such preferment, In the future only such officers will be detailed tor | special work as are entitled to consideration from | the length of their service on the force or | for the excellence of the services they have rendered, | The Committee of Rules and Discipline, of which Com- missioner Erbardt i# chairman, ascertained by an examination of the records that 114 officers havo served wore than twenty years continuously, with honor to themselves aud advantage to the aepartment; 937 have sorved from fifteen to twenty years, and 101 from ten to filteen years.

MR, SANFORD'S BROWN PRINCE, Tho special commissioner of the London Sporteman, May 7, in discussing the merits of some of the Dorby horses, thus refers to Brown Prince, the American Topresentativo:— Brown Prince, I should certainty say, is not within fourteen pounds of what he is capable of being made between this and the day of the raco tor the 3t.

THE RUSSIANS IN ROUMANIA, THROUGH MOLDAVIA FROM JAS8¥ TO GALATZ— FIRST FOOTHOLD ON THE DANUBE--THE ART OF WAR SUPPLANTING THE ARTS OF PEACE, {From the London Daily News correspondence. } GaLata, ox THe Daxune, May 2, 1877, ‘The country between Paskany and Jassy is vieaker, | less fertite and less picturesque than in tho valley of the Seroth, and the villages are infinitely more squalid. Indeed a village hereabouts seems to be a fortuitous congeries of wattied wigwams, 6! ywhere about the surface of a huge layer of dung, and the contrast betwoen one—porhaps the most ultra squalid— and the labored ornament and high finish of the boyard’s chiteau close by, was, I fear, but a microcosm of the state of the rural portion of the Principalities, Women crept out of whet seemed holes in the ground, for no side walls were visible under the low pitched roots, and stood in their forlorn dingy tatters to stare blankly at the passing train, and sloth and sluttfhneas bad set their unmistakable stamp on the hamlets. Between Paskany and Jassy no soldiers were seen marching by road, the routes of the marching men lying furthor to the southward, so avoiding the right-angled détour which the main road makes by touching Paskany. At astation called Podul | lloii we passed a stationary telegraph train, laden with operatives and apparatus, which bad sent out | working parties along the line to overhaul the tel- egraph wires and make good all defects. They seem a thoroagh people, these Russians, going about the task they have eudy, deliberate, systematic way that argues clear heads and ample preparation. At and about Roman were many soldiers, and another military train was halted in the siding thore for the mail to pass on the single line. At Pas- kany, an hour further on, there 1s a bifurcation, the Lemberg-Czernowitz line, due north, the line tor Jassy striking away to the westward. A PRETTY VALLUY. Between Roman and Bakau the Sereth Valley widens greatly, and tho scenery becomes rather picturesque, A plateau, in tact, depressed on either side, occupios and along this plateau runs the railway, while the scone is closed in on éither side by the low, gently sloping ridges which bound the valley on the east and west.

The men looked hard, brown and healthy. As they swung along with those great strides of theirs they made light of their heavy kit, and san with wonderful taste and great vivacity.

It is unpre- cedented in the annals of the Catholic Church that a bishop should live long enough to celebrate an event.
