ALBANY, TUESDAY,, JAN. IL, 1892.
There was talk than work to-day in both
Houses. The Senate did little, and after Session
of about an hour or less went into Executive SEES
sion. Whether the Governor succeeded in having
his nominations confirmed BY the Senate, runner
does not say. AT all events, on yesterday the
Senate refused to 60 into Executive Session by a
strict party vote, and this holding: back looks if
all might not go quite as smoothly as a marriage
bell.
The Assembly proceedings were characterized
with lite Of general interest. long debate was
had the coming up of the bill changing the mode
of appointing bank receivers, which continued
until the House ad journed. Maj DAvEzAc did not
call up his resolution, 90 there was speech from
him to-day, and crowd of visitors were again dis
appointed. 1t is insinuated that the Major has
been coaxed by his political friends to defer the
eonside ration Of the resolutions until certain other
matters shall have been adjusted. A great many
petitions were presented to-day, principally from
the western part of the State.
You can form no idea Of the intriguss, plets, and
counter. plots, that going in the apparently
anbroken ranks of ike Democratic party. The
Anti-Regency portion of the party, made slight
demonstration on Monday in their especial organ,
the Atlas" in pungent and well-argued article,
headed I" Rotation in Office" Of it's nature you
can Judge from its title. As yet outward attack
or defence has been made by the regency par excel
Ience The storm will burst in all its fury, should
the Regency be successful in the election Of Stale
officers Then what are now smothered into
tered threatenings and murmuring, will ripen int
open denunciation and fierce opposition, which
must result in the disorganzation and overthrow of
the now triumphant Democratic party. Ii may be
that with the good fortune that always has hitherto
attended the Locofocos, these differences will be
smoothed over and overcome, but it must be con-
coded that the aspect Of things is,ny thing but
favorable to such superstition. Meanwhile the
Wings are chuckling at this state Of affairs, and
using every endeavor in their power to promote il.
We had a very large funeral procession to-day In
honor Of the late WIN. HENDRIcksoN, ESQ This
gentleman was much beloved, and almost every one
in the city knew him, and will regret his de parture.
He was a benevolent, whole.s ouled sscial man,
with hand as liberal his heart. He was fol-
lowed to the grave BY the military OF the city and
several fire mpanies, with large attendance Of
citiz,ns. The Day was fine and the procession
was extremely long and appeared TO great advan-
tage
take measures for the relief Of the suffering
facturers in Glasgow, Paisley, and ether parts Of
Scotland. At the meeting, sundry documents were
read to show the appalling AMI inc reasing distress
uader which the operatives in the manufae turing
towns Of Scotland now laboring under, for
want OF EN- ployment and the consequent want Of
food. The meeting was composed principally Of
Scotchmen and their descendants, of which there
are a large number ameRg our most re pectable
citizens. IL was resolved that, with a view to aid
in some degree, however small, in alleviating this
distress, a subscription should be opened by the
meeting, and every person who might be willing to
assist in relieving the distressed, be earnestly
atnd 10 Init IN il
praseworthy movement and should be followed up
by similar ones throughout the country.
BY the competition that is going on between the
s'ages and steamboats,, person may now travel to
New York at the same rate as it would cost him in
the sum mer season The fare on the railroad,
via, Springfield, Hartford and the Sound, has
been reduced to three dollars, steamboat and all.
The rail road doing first rate bushes and there
is now much ireght at Greenbush as could be
carried over the road in a month.
Our Legislators are aware that the Herald is the
only channel through which they can obtain cor
rect and late information, and yen may il On the
desks of almost every one Of them every morning.
While talking about Legislation and Legislators,
may say here there Is one serious grievance
which should be remcdied, and that is this:-
There is very large and well furnished gallery
in the Assembly Chamber, appropriated especially
for the accommodation Of lad es, and into which
no male person il suffered to inrude, unless he
companies one Of the dear creatures There are
seats on the floor Of the house, accommodating
the express provision made for them, and the
crowded stare Of the gentlemans gallery, the off.
GERS Of the house daily persist in obligipg those
who arc fortunate enough to get seat, to give Them
up to the ladies. This is all wrong-there is no
better place to see hear, than the ladies gallery
there has never been as yet enough Of them pre-
sent to fill one half of it, and yet gentlemen are
obliged to leave their seats and the house, in order
10 IN Ike way for the ladies. This is stretching a
point Of poliepess little too far, and the officers
should see to it.
Albany has been very gay this municipalities
and balls are coming of in every direction The
and museum, both well conducted
establishments, draw nightly large concourses of
visiters, besides which there the lectures and
debates at the Young Mens' Association, and al
most weekly concerts OF sacred music given by
the cheirs of the various churches. The Infusion
of the Yankee spirit has had the effect to wake up
the old Dutch sluggarduess. and old Albany is fast
losing her Dutch primitiveness Of character, and
a Stunning the guise Of bustling, thriving Yankee
town. Wsen the New YORK and Albany Railroad
shall have been completed the metamorphos,s will
be complete.
