Largement the Canal, &c.
The House sat until nearly nine o'clock last night,
hard at work. and devlsh hard too, listening to the
idle gable of all parties respecting the Registry
Law The wind and words Of Mr.. Roosevelt gave
ont at the same time, and the 'Jolly old WING men,
Der from Monroe" as Mr. Story is called, got the
floor and after few remarks, in which he designa-
ted Mr.. Roosevelt as the "long'sp gentleman,
and Mr.. Maclay las the ''young gentleman" and tell
ing story that set the whole House In roar, mo-
we'd the previous question. Alter the previous
oues ion had been seconded. Mr.. Hckcox, who
looks like Mrs. Malaprops "three single gentlemen
rolled into one" got the unanimous lnsent OF the
House to tell story offset to Mr. Story's Mr..
Hickcox's story was very good one but 1t had
no sort of app cation to the hand. However,

asperity engendered by heated party debate, and
the Registry Bill was ordered to third reading just
before nine o'clock
This morning, the bill came up for a third read :

of tiresome verbage If the previous question is
sprung the discussion will be protracted until
midnight. The Hon. Paul Grout is To follow Chat

will exhaust both the subject and the audience Paul
profound contempt, and the members OF the House
treat Paul after the same fashion. The locofoco
members Of the Assembly have not wit enough to
help them out Of any emergency. The Registry
Bill light have been defeated in the House with the
greatest ease. MIR. Tallmadge carried the bill
through the Senate in order to pacify parcel OF
something, without knowing what they want them
selves, and if the loco members had opposed it deco
rously and temperately, il would have been permit
ted to sleep the table Of the Assembly. But they
undertook a course of intimidation and violence, and
this stimulated the wings to carry Il through The
leading wings OF the House, Messrs. Lawrence, Tay

| A little skirmsh took place in the Senate today
between Mr.. Tallmadge and Gen. Root. The Ge
ncraps favorite project Of aboshing the Office o
! Commission Of Deeds came up this morning. Mr.
Tallmadge, who understands the object which ~
merely to egisatc man out OF office who is odious
10 Gen. Root, denounced the scheme, and moved To
post ponc the whole matter indefinitely The Gene
raj flew into passion and called Mr.. Il. an aristo-
crat and begged him 90 abstain from interfering with
the country. Mr. Tamadgc retorted good Datured-
ly, but with much effect.
However. the old man succeeded, and his bill
ordered 20 third reading.
The bill To- provide funds for carrying on the en-

for taxing the inhabitants along the line of the Canal
with a view TO reimburse the other sections Of the
State which had contributed To build the Canal, and
lad not been benefited by IL. This amendment was
promp'ly rejected.
Mr. Mosely, a small potatoe sort Of a senatar from
Buffalo, who can talk hour without saying any
thing and who is afflicted with diarrhGa 81 words,
without sense meaning, HAS put himself down as
ch mjisi Of the Canal. Mr.. Mosely is an amiable
kind oi enough. and is good on vote, but he Is
suffering under delusirn that he is an immense
fellow, and that hen he dies, wisdom will die with
him. Ills speeches all commence in this farm
