THE LEGIsLATURE-THINGs N ALBANY.
Correspondence OF The Tribune
ALs..T, Aprl 8, iss3
The Legislature, IN view OF the approaching ad-
journm ent, begins to make show OF dong bust
ness. The last two DAYS in the Senate, and to-day
IN the House, have been devoted to the final pas
sage OF pills, which have been numbering the Ia
bic for weeks. They are, however, almost all OF a
local character. The Assembly to-day passed the
bill to re-organize the Common Schools throughout
the State Ii finally enacted, 1t Is confidently be-
lieved that it VIII effect thorough reform IL our
present wretched system.
The Senate has passed the skeletons OF two OF
its {: Retrenchmentr bills They viii die IN the
Assembly, be passed, solely on account OF Their
worthlessness. You will see by the papers, that
several bills affecting your city, also passed the
Senate to-day. The hagellation administered
the other day to g Old Porcupine, was not with
out its salutary effect. The eyes OF the Senators
were opened to his shameless Misrepresentation,
and the bill against which he directed his most
strenuous efforts, and which authorized your Cor
poration to purchase certain lands, though two
third BILL was passed unanimously
The Assembly has been the scene Of excited
discussion since my last. The occasion was this
Mfr. MURRAY, Loco Foco member from Onei,
da, who, with his constituents supported Bouck
6. Co. at the Fall Eec ton, because they were In
favor Of going on with the works OF Internal I'm
provement, was not disposed to let the :: powers
that be" dodge the question. As member OF the
Committee on Canals, he % took the responsibility
of presenting his views-nnd Internal Improve
rnent they were toto the Assembly Had a
bomb shell alighted in their midst, 1t would not
have created greater CONSERVATION. He was de-
-threatcned-s at-coaxed. and
da capo, but nc has enough Of the Indian in him
not to finch. The majority were at length forced
to back out and permit him to be heard.
But scarcely had this troublesome customer
been disposed OF, than up comes g Monsieur Ton
son" again. Yesterday the bill to settle with
contractors for their unfinished Jobs on the Canal
was under consideration The majority tried
again TO dodge, but were met at every turn by
the ever vigilant Wing members " What is
your policy-suspension or abandonment ~ was
an ugly question, especially when put by such
men as WILLIS HALL, FULLER, FLAGLER, &c,
and seconded by MURRAY and some Of the other
Loco Fccos. The whole day was spent in de-
bate, which was like shower of fire upon the
heads of the shuffiing, Janus-faced members of
the majority, who wish to keep up the game of
deception still longer. 1t was only got rid of by
She SPEAKERS violating all parliamentary rule,
and permitting the GAG to overrule the pending
privileged question. In so doing Speaker DAVIS
has shown himself to be shuff1ng trucking
slave of the Regency, such as-to his praise be it
spoken-CHATFIELD scorned TO be. Let him riot
in his inglorious position.
No news of the Bank Commissioners bill vet

END are the very pictures of anxiety. Hope
deferred maketh the heart SICK" said Solomon
not our soL-and think ne was ..5out right,
The "rejections" go down hard. You can
Judge whether my portrait of RUoEn was ovar-
drawn, by reading his fluctuations in this morn
ing's Argus. He is a genius, undoubtedly, but
his light will not shine. The bushel of his out
ward man auiA, notwithstanding all my efforts to
the contrary, eclipse the splendor Of that incom-
parable intellect, which bazes with such unseen
vigor in his magnificent soul! My peculiar friend
Mr.. HUNTER, has followed in the wake of the
illustrious parsonage of whom / have been VIII
ting. The rejection of the nomination Of Mr.
CARMICHAEL. was effected by his efforts. The
Governor had not consulted him and the insult
could not be forgiven A Mr. BIRDsALL, quiet
old Quaker, has been nominated to-day, to fill the
vacancy. He will doubtless be confirmed.
Republication" sleeps very quietly IN the Sen
ate. Not q move is made towards countcracting
the poison of Col. Young's manifesto. General
RooT's resolution having been summarily reject
ed, il becomes doubly necessary that something
should be DONE Will it be- l confess that
have many doubts. The " barn burners" hold
and apparently they dare not move an inch
Time will show.
We have at last spring day. The weather is
is at this present writing, balmy and delightful.
If continues, We shall look for an open naviga-
ton by the middle Of next weck-a consunma-
ton dcvoutly to be wished. Yours, Sc.
