Correspondence OF The Tribune.
ALBANY Mayo 6P. NJ.
Ieigh ho. the policy of 1912 is defunct.-
SEyMoUR's bill for partial resumption of the
Public Works has finally passed The Barn.
burning Senators fought it with desperation and
threatened to talk until the hour Of adjournment
tomorrow. But their pond soon ran dry, and the
bill passed by the ominous number of Seuenteen,
that numberso fatal to the Regency. The game
of ofhumbug has thus been blocked by the origina-
tors OF the game. The People will render a final
vote in November and the abcttors and architects
Of ruin will be swept from the places of power by
an overwhelming tornado of popular Indignation.
Close upon the heels of this bill followed an.
other great popular measure, which, though ve-
hcmently opposed by the Old Hunkers, in and
out Of the Capital, has been passed by two-third
vote. | refer 10 the bill giving the Election of
of Canal Commissioners 10 the People. -Four
Commissioners are to be elected next Fall, and
then to be classified 50 that one Commissioner is
to be elected every year. The term of office is
to be four years. Every Wing voted for the bill.
while several OF your delegation, with SEYMOUR
and HorFMAN, voted i'll the negative.
The bill 10 give the redoubtabc General RIELL
some $4,000 per year, to be taken from the pock-
cts of your merchants, was etfectually killed to-
day. But by untring effort OH the part of the
Delegation, a reconsideration was effected and
under the gag of the Previous Question the bill
was forced TO third reading, and Mr.. WILLIAMS
If your Delegation. MIR. YouNGs of Queens
opposed the bill at every stage. A vote ON its
final passage has just been taken and the bill re-
jectcd by majority OF fire. But another drum
ming up is now going on and the oGlous law may
yet be passed, as the sutlerngs of Mr.. RIELL are
lntolerablc, and must be relieved.

One Step towards ResuminS the Public
Works.

Works!
Mr. SEYMouR's bill providing for the Preserva.
tion of the Public Works." has passed both
branches of Loco Foco Legislature. These
Works were abandoned and repudlated by Loco
Foco Legislature less than two years ago. The
same Legislature imposed Direct Tax for the
,eneit of State Stock spectators. Mr.. Sey-
mour'S bill, however, is gross fraud. The mo-
uey 1t approprates, beyond what is to finish the
Schoharic Creek Aqueduct and Jordan Level, Is
designed to aid The reelection Of Gov. Bouck.
Neither the Canal nor the State will profit by
this indefinite appropriation of money. But 1t is
t confession that the Public Works are to be re-
sumed, and comes from the men who stopped and
renounced them A few more such exhibitions
will lay Loco Focoism upon lis back We'll did

Peoples money, and that they will 90 out by ex-
posing their own dupllcity. Alb. Eve. Jour.
Cross ss-LEGIsLATIoS.-Two bills, one of which
coniutes and contounds the other, passed the Sen
ate to-day. One of these bills approprates $780,.
400 to pay for damages i'll abandoning the Public
Works, while the other appropriates Sl50,00O for
the preservation of those abandoned Public
Works. The great measure" OF lSl2, there
fore, has cost over 81 ,000, 600 in less than two
years So much for Van BureniSm. Are the
People willing 10 pay so high price for such a
worthless article? Alb. Eve. Jour.

Correspondence OF the Providence GazeH.
NEWPORT MAY 4th 1sH
The Court have been occupied to-day with dis
cussions upon points of law, as TO whether treason
against State is not treason against the United
States-l do not think the trial will be completed
until Tuesday.
The arguments to-day have been very interesting.
Mr.. Dor himself has taken very ective part in
them.
The opinion here seems TO be that Mr.. Dom will
be convicted. Ii So before the close oil another week
he will be the tenant OF State Prison, but for how
long time remains 10 be seen.
