ALBANY, Friday March 18th, 1872
ST. Patrick's day passed eGiso far As have learn
ed without the occurrence Of any event calculated
to mar the harmony and good feeling that general
ly prevailed during the day. The suPPers and re-
peal ball in the evening went offin the very best
stle.
In the ASSEMBLY, after the transaction of ssme
uninportant business the House resolved itself in
to committee Of the whole on the resolution from
the Senate adopted the 10th instant, against the
further issue of any State Stock, unless means
we're at the same time provided fer its redemP-
lion.
Mr.. SEYMOUR moved that the committee rise and
report. He said that the House had resolved to
adjourn the 18th instant, and he hoped they
would not consider this resolution at the present
time, as they had so much other business on hand
Mr.. HUMPHREY took the same view as Mr.. S.
and Mr.. Hoffman, and the motion to rise and re.
port was carried.
Mr.. HuMPHREY then moved that this order OF
business be laid on the table in order to reach the
tn I'd reading Of bills.
Mr.. WEIR objected, On the ground that he wish.
ed to take up the State Prison bill.
Mr. HUMPHaEY withdrew his motion, and
Mr.. WErR then moved that the bill be now taken
up in committee Of the whole. After some CONVEX
sation,
Mr. CRAMER renewed the motion to lay on the ia
BILE, and the yeas and nays being asked, il was car
ried. The question was then being taken on each
order separately, when
Mr.. DANA objected, and raised point Of order
on this manner Of doing business, and appealed
from the decision Of the chair The decision OF the
chair was sustained.
Mr. MAcLAY, from the select committee, report
ed the New York Public School Bill TO the House
with amendments, not interfering, owevsr, with
the main features Of the original bills-two addi-
ienal sections have been added, as follows
Sec. Ii. 1t shall be the duty Of the Commission
in each ward TO apportion the school monies
allotted to such ward among the several district
schools therein, including such of the schools, il
any, mentioned in the next preceding section as
shall be located in such ward according TO the ave-
rage number Of children over five and under six.
teen years of who shall have actually attended
shall b. entitled to q portion of such monies that
has not been kept open at least nine months in the
year.
Sec. Is. The said Commissioners Of each ward,
SHALL within fifteen days after their ele ction, exc.
cute and deliver to the supervisors aforesaid
bond with such sureties said supervisors shall
approve, in the penalty of double the amount Of
public money :. the use ., the
for the faithful performance Of the duties Of their
Office. and the proper application ofall monies com
ing in their hands for common school property;
such bond shall be flied by the said supervisors in
the Office of the county clerk.
The report of the committee was agreed to, and
the Tax Bill had its third reading.
Mr.. STARR, from Monroe moved to commit the
bill to the committee of the whole with instruc-
tions to amend. Mr.. s. made long speech against
the general merits Of the bill, against tax, if the
public works were to be considered, and against
the general policy Of the party in power and that
would cost TOO much to stop the enlargement Of the
Erie Canal, &c.
Mr.. STAIR 10 a cabinet maker believe, from Ro-
chester, and doubtless turns out good bureaus
well fair speeches, but he would have been much
better employed in the manufacture of the former
articles than in talking against this measure. seeing
b. must have, that IL could have no effect to
change the views or action Of the majority.
The discussion Of the bill was continued in after
noon session, but the question had moi been taken
ON il when this was closed.
presented from the City Of Nes York, praying that
the state would extend its aid to the New York
and Erie rail road.
Mr. HARD submitted . series Of concurrent reso.
lutions in relation to prote tariff ON which
considerable debate ensued. From the tenor Of il,
the feelings Of the rity de not incline very "a
vorably towards the Home League. The New
York annual Tax Bill was reported to be not two
third bill, and was ordered eng rossed for third
reading
The New York School Bill will probably come
up tomorrow. Of its passage there is little doubt.
