The bill for the construction of the Hudson River
Railroad was ordered to third reading to-day.
can now say have not particle of doubt about
its passage through the Assembly What with the
real merits of the appcation-what with most un-
firing end unexampled lobbying, and above all what
with most barefaced log rolling, the requisite num-
Der of votes (s6) have been secured. The Harlem
road opponents have been driven from the field des
poiled of all their aurels ! heard member grunt-
ing to-day about the unmerciful pulling OF his but
tons on the part Of the applicants for this road :
But poor fellow! he must stand and take It,
| see no reason to doubt but what the same in
Huences which will force the bill through the AS
semblv will be equally efectual in the Senate. and
for one look upon the bill, as already virtually
law Should it pass the Company are required TO
have single track between here and New-Gork,
in operation within years or forfeit their charter
The rail is TO be of the weight OF 20 lbs. per linea
ward The highest rate allowed 10 be charged be-
tween the two cities is 50. The granting OF free
tickets is madea misdemeanor. So hurrah for the
Hudson River Railroad
see nothing as yet to alter my mind as to the fate
of all the other Railroad bills. Their passage is in
deed more doubtful than the Hudson River project,
but think the influence of General LoGRoLLISG
will nut them all through 1t is amusing to by
stander, when Logrolling of the taest kind sticks
out a foot to see Members gravely rise in their
place and pledge their honor they know nothing OF
il! But that's the way OF the world go for all
the Railroads Let us ride everywhere and any
where on iron rails and the cheaper the better Ii
capitalists are fools enough to spend their millions to
allow the public TO travel for nothing, they may be
dead sure that that public will never ask them to
raise their fare
The friends of the New York and Erie Railroad
who desire permission to run that road into Penn
sylvania, met with a wet blanket yesterday by the
bills being recommitted. There was some pretty
hard swearing and tall threatening in consequence,
but I doubt much if the threats will be enforced
Almost every Member has an ak of his own to
grind and in so far has his tongue tied. question
very much however, whether this bill will pass
1t was intended 10 keep it ia the same boat with the
others but having been kicked overheard, 1t VIII be
compelled TO swim on It's own hook.
CHATF1ELp had his new county of Canisteo up
last evening, and made good speeches in its
favor The project evidently has merits, but CHAT
can't come it this time. The fact is as limited some
time ago the enemies Of all the dozen and odd new
county projects have entered into league offensive
and defensive and have resolved 10 Kill all that come
IN. They have stuck to their bargain go far and
will carry it through. BY the way, speaking of
CHATFIELD, he has incurred the mortal hatred OF
BAILEY, for having allowed himself to be used to
kill him as Speaker pro tenn That hatred boils out
on almost every occasion and particularly was 1t
manifested last night BAILEY mounted CHATS
County ill with perfect relish.
The Assembly have been engaged for the pasttwo
DAYS in discussing the frebrand which Governor
Cato threw into the Legislature. This is the
proposition to send Delegates TO the Convention ac-
cording 10 the new Apportionment. The bill, man
lestlv unconstitutional its face meets with strong
oppositon and will be defeated. The object OF CATO
& Co is obvious If confusion can be thrown INTO
the several Counties, and a clashlng be brought
about in regard 10 the number OF Delegates 10 be
sent 10 the Conv en,ion the usefulness OF that Con-
venton may be FILTERED away, and thus the Cover.
nor succeed in accomplishing indirectly what he did
not dare do drectly-that is veto the Convention
Act. That he has been from the outset an enemy
to the Convention is now too well known to admit
of denial. He seems determined to accomplish his
object in some way. But doubt much Whetnertne
people will be thus loiied.
There was hearty laugh among Members this
morning. at one of the unusually rich blunders OF
your laundering contemporary, the Express =
The idea that Mr.. STEVENSON, or any body else,
should desire Convention in your City TO illegal
ize a race course at Harlem aras rich and eminent
" worthy of its source. Ii was well for the en-
ghteued writer of that paragraph that he was not
within the reach of SrEvESsoS's fist, when he first
read the paragraph, or he might have been laid
out
We have al last a project for Military Reform.
which will doubtless be all we can get, as the Gov
ernor has indicated very strongly his purpose to veto
any more radical reform. refer to the bill Of Mr..
HALL, synopsis of which you will find in the Eve
ming Journal. Well give US that, if it is all we can
get.
The Bill to punish Seduction and Adultery still
meets the attacks of covert enemies-those who are
afraid to meet it with direct negative vote. If de-
ayed much longer there can be but little hope OF Its
passage this session. And this is undoubtedly the
object which some have in view. Yours, &c.
