Doings In Albany Movements Of the Regency Those
cfDte State Babarites- Developeu<nss- IVonders
This has been a season Of most usual gaiety and
fashion. The ,ocofocos in this respect would seem
far to excel their wing opponents. Parties and
balls are given nightly, and together with the Am
phltheatre, and other places Of amusement, are
honored nightly with the presence OF our Solons'
Private sprees too, in knots of dozen or more are
of frequent occurrence. There was q beautiful
party last night enjoying themselves in this manner,
among whom were two or three candidates for Of
fee, an officer of the house, and some half dozen
members OF the Assembly. Conspicuous among
these latter, was Mr.. d. R.'F. j., and the two
Messrs. U's-whose transactions strongly shock
ed the nerves OF our temperance men. They
must be little more secluded in these "innocent
diversions" or they will raise hornets nest about
their ears. Such things insulting unprotected e-
males in the public streets (altLOueh do not by
any means charge itupon the party have alluded
TOY will not be tolerated. and to cay the least is not
consistent from those 10 whom is delegated the
power Of making the laws. Yet this has been done
repeatedly.
The Assembly meet now at ten o'clock instead of
eleven, as heretofore; and it is to be hoped much
Mr.. HorrMAN called up for consideration to-day
his resolution in relation TO the liquidation report
from the Comptroller and Canal Commissioners,
would probably be forthcoming on the morrow, he
agreed to suffer it to lie on the table.
Mr.. O'SuLLrvAx offered resolution, instructng
the Committee on the Incorporation OF Towns and
Villages, 70 report general law, under which viii
lagos might vountarlly incorporate themselves Mr..
O'S argued that it would save great deal of the
time Of the House, and The villagers would thereby
be enabled to suit themselves. he was in favor OF
delaying action on the passage Of the Chitenango
b so as if possible to enable that village to par
take Of the benefits o. the general law.
Mr. SIMMONS thought sucn a law would conflict
with the provisions OF the constitution, which ex.
pressly eDoins upon the Legislature, in order TO
guard against the evils OF corporations, that all bills
incorporating a body polite Olht rwise, should
eay be passed by vote of twe-thirds. He appre-
headed that the pas age Of such law would
create mania for Incorporation that would sweep
over the State like wave. He was opposed to
granting mere numerical majority the right on a
mere within to tax the minority by these unnecessary
corporations laying out streets, &c.
Mr. SrETsoN was OF opinion that such law
would be unconstitutional He supposed the gen.
Errors as deciding the consitutienaliy of voluntary
corporations, but great majority OF the lawyers Of
the State doubted. The decision he alluded to was
the 10 relation to the free banks, and he must
w.
that il the result of necessity alone that caused
such decls on. t
Alter further debate Mr. O'Sulvan consented
that his resolution should lie on the table for the pre-
seat, in order to give gentlemen an opportunity to
form an opinion on the subject. ~
On motion Of Mr. HorFMAN, this order Of bust
was laid ON the table, in order 10 enable the
House to go into committee ON the bill for the CON-
debate ensued, but the arguments were the same
advanced during the previous debates. Several
amendments were offered, but rejected, and the bill
was eventually reported to the House as amended
by MIR. Hoffman, from the Committee of Ways and
Means. 1t was then reported to the House, when
Mr.. Humphrey moved that the question on Its final
passage be laid on the table, but before vote could
be taken on the motion, the House adjourned:
In the Senate, another day has been idly con-
sumed Fin debate on the matters relating TO the
Governors message Mr.. Foster moved that the
report of the late Clerk, received yesterday, be
stricken from the journals OF course long debate
was the result, occupying nearly tie whole of the
session, and consisting Ut but repetition and re-.
capituaiion of all that has been previously sad on
the subject. Mr.. kh0ades offered an amendment,
which Mr. Foster objected to as being out OF order
but which the President decided TO be in or
der. From this decision, as Right be expected, Mr..
Foster appealed and the Senate sustained the ap-
peal by party vote. Mr.. Fosters resolution was,
aapSq sSS eeSahe % So
length, and dropping the point as to who is right
who Is wrong. STOP should be put to this idle
waste Of time.
The election for Slate officers, should the Comp
troller and the Canal Commissioners make their IL
qaidation report, as ID expected, Will come of on
the 7th. As To the candidates, The success of no
particular oae of them, with the single exception Of
Mr.. Faag, Can be predicted Meanwhile the in
trigues sli being prosecuted with the utmost
slduy The Jealousy OF the Regency.is still active
as ever although It's operations hidden. The
wings. remaa Inactive observers, ready TO profit
by all and every dlssenton that may arises
