1 send you copy of JOSHUA A. SPEScER's Re-
port on the Anti Rem. question of its ability no one
acquainted with its author can for moment doubt
That Mr. SPENCER is an eminent and able Jurst and
Counsel all admit and DO no, doubt but what IS an
abstract legal argument this Report does credit to
its author. But many think, and your humble ser
vant-no Anti Renter, remember IS OF the number
that he has long studied the subtetes and crotche
~ cobwebs Of the lar, that he has come 10 con-
slider that they embrace all there is OF equity
also. For this reason | think the verdict OF the
people will be-msugre and those personally
intended-that If Mr. S. had mingled little more OF
the every day business practical portion OF the SUB
iect with the mere techncaities OF his legal srgu-
ment it would have done him more credit and would
have been more satisfactory. AS it IS | doubt
whether II will please either party II the PATRON
and his advisers would get little more common
sense in their brains no legislation would be neces-
sary. But that power which WELLS says the Old
Regency once had, has ceased AS 10 the Assem-.
5lys Committee, think | shall be able 10 give you
on Monday synopsis OF what the majority OF the
Committee have agreed upon
AS anticipated, ORANGE County was delivered
on the Common School question yesterday. The
Report is very voluminous and goes back, as It's aa-
thor informed me 10 the foundation OF all the dli-
cutes The immediate and total abolition OF the
Normal School is demanded among other reforms.
But this will not succeed. But from the general eX-
preston which l have been able 10 gather, think
bill 10 leave 1t discretionary with Boards OF super
visnrs TO appoint County Superintendent, has
GOOD prospect of passing-ebleast the Assembly,
Ii il should become law il will practically abolish
the Office in over half the Counties in the State. Mr.

10 read an extract from one of my letters 10 The
Tribune, and founded thereon very thrilling de-
scription of what Orange County did and did
not do, during the Revolution He hoped / would
do him the justice OF spreading his views before
your readers, which | shall be most happy to DO BY
sending you copy of his Report, as soon as it is
printed.
The Two Houses are in collision upon the bill in
relation TO auction duties. The dividing point is
whether articles of the growth end manufacture Of
the United States. when sold, shall be subject 10
duty no The Senate say Ay, the Assem-
bly, say No. Which will back out remains 10 be
seen.
Mr. FOLSOM opposes very s,renuously the con
current resolutions in relation to your Pilots They
have already passed the Assembly without oPpos
tion and far as can see are perfectly harmless
They do not ask restoration Of the old monopoly,
but merely law of Congress which will put sill the
States equal footing.
A bill has been introduced by Mr.. STEyESsoS tor
Convention in your City, to amend your Charter.
The project seems to meet with favor, and II pressed
by any considerable body of your citizens, or by
the Common Council would probably pass. There
are again efforts made TO revive subjects which
called out long and earnest and even angry discus
sion last year. Both affect your City-one its FL
nances, the other its Morals The first is 10 repeal
the Ferry bill of last Winter. This will call up
hard fight, and the New York Delegation are quite
sanguine they can succeed. There must have been
a great change since last year If such shall be the
result. The other bill is one " To proven, horse
racing in the streets and avenues OF Newly ork !!
very excellent bill, say you. But there is an ad
ditiop TO The bill, as follows and for other T'ur
poses And these few words, like the postscript
10 lady's letter, contain the cream OF the whole
matter Those other purposes are, the establish
ment and legalizing of Race Course at Harlem.
