1t is amusing to see with what gravity and ear
nestness sedate and learned Senators will argue
such important questions as to whether they shall
furnish themselves with penknives at the expense
of the State or not, or whether they shall
have thick or thin writing paper to indite their
correspondence upon. They will even involve
weighy constitutional questions in such discussions,
if the whole welfare and prosperity OF the State
hung upon. this single point. whole hour was
consumed in this manner in the Senate yesterday.
For the FIRST time this session, the previous ques-
ton was made of in the House yesterday, at the
call of Mr.. JONES, in order 10 drive through the bill
in relation to contracts by the New York Corpora
its passage, but without effect. This Mr.. Jones is
great man, at least he is trying to be. When he
shakes his " ambrosa locks.' and prepares for a
speech, 1t is the signal for general clearing of the
poor indeed. His colleague, Mr.. M'Murray, is a
talented young man, and is always heard with at.
tentlOn. He Is, however, rather assuming In his
manner-indeed, it would seem from his move
ments that he aspires to be leader of the majority
He made, however, the other day, rather mortify-
ing confession for one who would fain climb so
high. He was selected by the Speaker as Chair
man of the Standing Committee on Canals, one Of
leging as a reason for so doing, that he knew no.
thing about them, there being none in New York
city, unless it might be the Canal street sewer. If
he wishes to fill Michael Hoffman's station, he
should at least know little about these matters.
Mr.. HENRY ARcULARIUs, baker, OF New York,
applicant for the office of Flour Inspector has made
publication here, which cause no little merriment.
It is nothing less than pamphlet Of some fifty pa
claims upon the Governor for the appointment he is
seeking, backed by sundry letters Of Recommended
ton from various leading politicians. This is GER
tainly an unique method of furthering an application
for Office.
His Excellency is said to have nearly prepared
his list of inspectors, and it is expected that the ap-
pointments will be made within a week or ten days
at farthest. 1t is also said that the Secretary of
State is about to submit report, viii Oh will reco
mend the abolition of all inspection laws. 1t is
very likely as Col. Young is well known to be one
of the most radical and independent men in the
state
"Charlty begins at home" is well known and a
good maxim Governor Bouck thinksso at least, if
all reports true. 1t Is said that another OF
his family or kindred is to receive the important APP
pointment OF Health Officer for the port OF New
York. If this should turn out SO, there will be a
considerable burst of Indignation from the OcOfOcOs
here. Besides this, it is said that lucrative office
in this city is to be given to another of his relatives
If this is the way he means to serve them the Cover
nor will find that he has quite extensive family,
as any Turkish Sultan could wish for.
the colored people of this city, previous to ex
Governor Seward s departure, held meeting, ana
rendered vote of thanks to him for the many exer-
tons he has made In behalf of their race. His Ex
celency made very. neat and appropriate reply
The proceedings have been published. The aboli-
toniss have started daily here called the 'Patrl-
Of" / hear it has a good subscription list and is
likely to be permanent The editor is MIR. Torrey,
who is martyr in the cause, having been tarred
and feathered or imprisoned somewhere off south on
account of his devotion to it. l.. p Noble, long a

In the Senate to-day the bill from the Assembly
relative to the Corporation Contracts in the city of
New York was received for concurrence. Genl.
Root made long speech on the subject.
In the Assembly great number Of petitions was
received. The New York Criminal Court Bill was
received from The Senate for concurrence. The re-
port of the Comptroller was sent in to-day. 1t is in
the usual style Of Mr.. Faggs documents, Clear con-
sise and lucid, which is saying enough.
