ALBANY, Friday, June 10, 1854 M.
Sis understood that the Senate Committee have yielded
the point on the Contracts Of 1851 and adopted the clause
repndating those contracts contained in the House plan
This was vital point with the Committee Of the House
and will probably lead to argument. The Hs~e Com
ee consent adopt the precise language used in the Sen
ate bill to the obg TO borrow and appropriate &c
&c. being mandatory or permissive So both plans
stand in this form 1.-The Legislature shall annually appro
pirate sum not exceeding two millions two hundred
,gand fifty thousand dollars" &C.
HTho House Committee consent TO change the time from
six to four years Neither plan before absolute in this
respect depended upon the amount appropriated as to
the time when the work would be completed
The Senate Committee have acceded to several other
propositions contained in the House Plan.
There is some difference yet the form Of the amend
Ynent and the part of the existing Constitution in
which it shall be sDgrafted the House Committee argu-
ing that THE Sd section of Article VII is repealed and the
Senate Plan as now amended substituted for it, certain
funds therein mentioned swept away at least tied up
whereas by the section it stands they may be applied
10 the expenses of Government as soon as the Canals
are completed which viii be in four years if the amend
ment adopted Otherwise they will lay in the Treasury
until the State debts fully paid, which will be from
twenty TO forty years and the amount to be made up by
Taxation during all this time, to support the Government
It's now pretty well understood by outsiders that both
Committees have agreed substantially upon series prop
estons be embodied in amendment which, if they
can be reduced to form satisfactory to both Committees
and obyiate the difficulty above mentioned will bring
them to an agreement Both Committees in session
10 late hour last night and now at o'clock, are in ses
siOn again. KsoP.
Latsr, p M-The Conference Committees at their
meeting this afternoon found themselves wider apart than
ever Things look very sluay and il is chance if they
will be able to agree at all. KsoP
