FalstaG thought the besetting sin of the people Of
this world, was lying. Perhaps it might have been
in his day. but in this latter day and generation,
regard ingratitude the prevailing vice. And the
most garng instance of this hideous sin, is present
I'd in the conduct of Colonel Stone. After all that
has been said in his favor in the Herald after all my
efforts in his behalf, he has had the unparalleled eff
frontery to decry the general character of your
paper, and to 6isparage my talents in epstolatory
| composition. He accuses me Of substituting the
state adminis' ration, and charges his disappont-
ment to the influence of that foul sheet, the New
York Herald. 1t will be sometime before do
other good natured thing, particularly for people
who have not the grace to thank their beneiactors
BY the way, may mention to you in private, what
the Governor confde to me great secret-that
the present determination of the executive is NOT to
appoint any body from the city of New York to the
Office Of historical minister to Holland
NV ticket for Water Commissioners has been
slightly modified. DIR. Childs and Zebedee Ring,
are both to be appointed. Samuel Stevens is to have
an office connected with the loan Of moneys; j do
not remember the title; and Chds takes his brother
in the commission. The other gentlemen named by
me in conjuncto with Childs and Ring, have al
ready been nominated. Townsend, Of the Express,
is nominated for state director to Of the banks
the Phenix, believe. lOh. crickee, Peter Simpl.
bank director
The Albany correspondent Of the Post, the general
accuracy Of whose statements are only eqaalled by
the profundity Of his wisdom in finance and political
economy, says the wings do not intend to pass the
Registry Law at all, and that the movers of the bill
will heap over it n load Of unfinished business, for
q, Al .ff
making this declaration, he INDUCES in some re-
mark ably sharp ard opposite animadversions on the
policy Of the wings. am sorry to disturb the self
| complacency Of the prophet whose authorizations
indicate such farseeng sagacty, but the truth must
be told. The Registry Bill was today made the
special order for tuesday next, the motion of Mr.
yerpanck and will pass the Senate in the course OF
| the week.
The bill requiring the banks to redeem their notes
in the city Of New York, was passed in committee
Of the whole and reported to the Senate after much
| squabbng about the details. After IL before
the Senate, motion made and carried to strike
out Albany. This restores the bill TO its original
condition. gave you a synopsis Of its provisions
| on Tuesday. Mr. Sibley then gave notice that he
should, on Monday, move decentralization Of the
vote Of the Senate, agreeing with the report Of the
committee, with view 20 re-insert the amendment
Of Mr.. skinner, giving to the banks the choice Of
redeeming in New York or Albany. This motion
will open the whole matter for discussion again. IL
the Senate was full, ! apprehenj that the western
interest would prevail and Albany be inserted. But
there several absent, and the result is somewhat
doubtful. In my opinion, the whole practical value
Of the law depends upon this point. II the banks
are permitted to make their election between New
York and Albany the place Of redemption, the
principal object Of the bill, that is the protection Of
the people from the exactons Of the brokers' will be
defeated.
As soon as this bill and the Registry law are dis
posed Of the question Of Internal Improvements is
/ to come up in the Senate The Rail Road Commit
tee have reported in favor Of every project except
the New-York and Albany Rail Road, which is the
most important OF all. ! am inclined TO doubt,
however, whether very liberal measures will be
adopted towards any ofthe great enterprises There
will be no serious opposition to enlarging the capital
Of the New-York and Harlem Rail Road but the APP
pcaiion for aid from the state will be strenuou.y
resisted, and think defeated.
The bill providing for loan to the Bushhill and
| Hudson Rail Road, comes first under consideration
Those persons who are especially interested in the
enlargement Of the Erie Canal, apprehensve that
the friend. Of the Ogdensburgh and Lake Champlair
Rail Road will unite with the advocates ofthe grcs
southern Rail Road, and withhold all assistance tC
the Canal, except on the condition that their sere
raj works shall receive aid at the same time.
We shall have log-rolling in great abundance and
variety shortly.
In the House, Mr.. Roosevelt made another mov'
to ex,ort information respecting the concerns Of thu
Erie Rail Road. Private bills occupied the aten
ton Of the House the principal part Of the day
