LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRs-DEBATE IN THE SENATE RE-
LATlvE 10 INCORPORATING FEMALE COMPANIES
THE LADIES' REPOSIToRY-DEBATE ON THE CANAL
QUESTION, ETC.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
ALBANY, Jan. 20-sh PM.
The Senate spent most of the day in discussing
the bill to incorporate the Ladies' Repository of the
destitute females The debate was upon the question
Of special act, or Of passing general law, to allow
any number of females to form corporations Several
Senators took part in the discussion, they gene
rally do when q subject comes up in which ladies'
are interested, especially when number of smiling
faces are in their presence. Mr.. Taber generally
grave and serious in all matters spoke quite loosely
He said he was opposed to passing general law to
allow all the ladies' OF the State to neglect their
household duties, and enter upon the business of
porat0rs Having the misfortune to be q widower,
he should feel unwilling to vote for a law which
would prevent him from showing attention to lady,
ration. The bill, after this convincing speech, was
passed in committee. 1t grants the Ladies' Reposi-
tory special charter.
The session Of the House was mestly consumed in
discussing Mr.. Cooey's joint resolutions which pas
sed the Senate almost unanimously, to raise COM
mittee Of the two Houses TO present some plan for
finishing the canals. Mr. Loomis was quite lengthy
insoppOsiti0n He declared 1t as his his believe that
II was the intention of the offer Of the proposition
for joint committee, to create basis for banking
capital. Mr.. L. gave, as rumor, that Mr.. Cooley's
plan was to borrow on the credit of the State, ten
million of dollars to be expended the canal with
in six years. to impose tax upon the people to pay
the interest annually and extinguish the capital in
eighteen years that the whole should be
borrowed at once, to create a bank stock fund, to
be placed in the hands of Commissioners and
and that threefourths mill tax be levied to pay the
debt, to all of which Mr.. Loomis was opposed. In
Justice to Mr. Cooley it is proper to state that the
above statement attributed to his project is entirely
incorrect, as he has devised no plan, nor recon-
mended any, and only brought forward the measure
for early action The House adjourned without
coming to VOTE Mr.. Loomis appeal to the respon-
sble majority to vote against the resolutions and let
the matter rest with the canal committees Of both
houses will have the effect, things stand now to
defeat the resolutions w.
