Correspondence OF The Tribune.
ALsASY, March L..
The Assembly spent all of yesterday in the dis
cusson of very short but very important bill. In
1898, when the Legislature were charged with the
duty of distributing the annual income of the u 5.
Deposit Fund, the University OF New York, the
Hamilton College and the Geneva College received
from the fund an aggregate of $4,000 per annum
for five years until otherwise ordered The five
!
which have quoted those institutions have claimed
and received the SIS 600 annually until now. Mr..
Coz who is not very friendly to Academies and
Colleges but believes all the public money should
20 for the benefit OF Common Schools, introduced
bill repeating the law of 1888 and II came up yes
terday for lis final passage 1t was earnestly advo'
Gated and opposed-the discussion involving the en-.
tire policy of the State in relation TO support OF
Academic and Collegiate institutions. The House
adjourned without taking any question. l think
the bill will pass the Assembly but not the Senate
| may however, be mistaken In this last
/ Three of the proposed new Counties, OF which
gave you list some time since, have received their
quetus in the Assembly. Two were reported
against viz 10 erect the County of Lafayette from
/ Chemung, Tompkins, &c. and to divide Wayne
! Co. The other was the celebrated UNADILLA pro-
ect which, after a days talk was knocked In the
head by vote of 40 TO so. This death carries with
} il the kin projects of WRIGHT and OQUAGo. Ger
tain would be County Judges must therefore, wait
another year, at least if not longer. The SPEAKER
| pro tenn. Mr.. CHATFIELD. has got Report In favor
of has pet, viz the new County OF CANIsTEo, IRON
one half of Old Steuben. This bill comes up next
week but adhere to my first conviction that no
new County will be created this winter. CHAT.
wants his little village Of ADDISON honored with
Court House and JAIL but he can't come this year
The Senate are firing away at CoNEwANGo and
/ SCHUYLER-two as outrageous projects as ever
came from political schemers. OLIVER LEE d Co..
and paper cities with corner lots, will trip up again
/ this winter.

They desire the Legislature to deliver them in ad
vance from the hands Of the Philistines.
You know very well how in former years Wings
so loudly and Justly complained that Loco'Foco Su-
perinendens on the Canals not only attended to
their legitimate duties, but in addition, narshaled
their hosts at all Elections, and thus the State paid
large sums toward the support Of Loco Focoism
and the overthrow Of the Wing party. But all this
was at once put down as Whg lies, and every at.
tempt for Legislative investigation was sneereo
down. But tempora mutantur, &c or 10 pam
