rrocesd'ngs ." the Legislatave- Cutting out Hork
for the Sessiom-Ofcs Seekers and their Pros
poets.
Inc Legislature, it will be seen have already cut
out work enoughto keep them busy during the great
er part OF the session. Notices have been given of
bills to amend the Pilot Laws of the city of New
York-to repeal the School Laws of last session.
to require Justices of the Peace to give security
to repeal part of the Exemption Law, and to abo-
lish the practice Of voting by proxy in Banks and
Insurance Companies.
Mr. JONES' bill to equalise the wards of the civ
of New York is likely to draw out great deal Of
party feelings, as the wings here charge that il is
the result OF caucus between the locofoco mem
bers of the New York Corporation and the CITY
delegation. II the bill becomes law, the wings
may well despair OF ever getting majority in the
Common Council OF the city. The sessions of
either House as yet have been of short duration.
about two hours per day.
There has been no opportunity for display of ora
tory as yet, and 1t cannot OF course, be told who is
the big gun of either party. There will be plenty
of opportunity afforded the takers next week
great deal of effort is being made to have the
Exemption Law, of last session repealed or else ma
terially modified 1t will be an unpopular measure,
however. and do not believe the attempt will sue
coed. The opposition to the law comes principally
from the landlords and wealthy men.
The rush tor office has somewhat subsidized The
0ffice-seekers were SO cavalierly treated by Gov.
Bouck, that they find it poor business to bore HIM.
They are now content to wait patiently for his deci-
sion. This city and county furnishesa good share
of these gentry Among them, notice Mr.. Eras-
tus Miller, somewhat prominent politician on
small scale in this city. He would like very much
to be Flour Inspector again. He formerly held the
Office Mr.. p. Byrnes would have no objection to
be Inspector of Staves but his chance is desperate
one. Mr.. had the misfortune to be one of the
aiders and abettors of the wing intrigues on the
subject OF the Public Schools in this city last fall
the result OF which, was among the most prominent
causes of the Locofoco defeat. Mr.. b. soon after
the election, published card, in which he con-
fessed his error, and urged in extenuation of his
fault that he had been deceived and was sorry etc.
etc Whether he has retrieved his character in the
opinion of his political friends, time will show.
Elk. Lieut.. Gov Bradish is still in town, and bows
as politely and looks smilingly as if he had ne
yer run for Governor and been defeated. Mr. B.
both political parties and his departure will be much
regretted
The Senate were occupied during the greater part
of odays sitting In the discussion of the Governors
message.
In the House to-day, an immense number of peti
tons were presented and referred. Various bills Pc
tons, &c, were ordered to be taken from the files
of the last House, and transferred to that of the
sent.
Mr. DAILY gave notice of his intention to introduce
bill relative to contracts made by, or in behalf Of
the Mayor, &c, of the city of New York. A num-
Der of notices were given of intention to introduce
bills, mainly, however, of unimportant character.
