ALBANY, april 9 1876.
Twas considered as settled thing, when this
roosenlig hteued most Democratic and most pure Le
gslsture convened that at ali events final adjourn
rent would be had before the time specified for the
election OF Delegates 10 the Convention. But that
hope grows more and feeble daily. and for one

Hunker and q Barnburner-Sepator LOTT standing
for the former, and Col. YoUSG for the latter But

the csrnor which will be raised will save them from
sinking into their anticipated insignihcance II the
efforts Of these agoeues can defeat the passage
Of any bill they will do so. But another effort is &c

if the enlightened views Of the President OF the
Company and Messrs. TYLERl BROWN aud
others advocates OF the road. whose motives
