seclfy Speaker Strong, Weiant Whine, Woodworh-25.
The resolutions as adopted read as follows:
Rolred or the Senate concur That the State Of New ork
ia ppo.ed the admission of Kansas into the Union Stat
with the Constitution commonly known as the LecomPton Con
in all ts pats fairly subttes the Territory
and received their sanction and approval"
Resed That copy Of this resolution be transmitted 10 the
Senators and Mem6e. Of the House Of Representa,e. from
this State In Congress.
The Assembly to-day resolved to hold two sessions
per day in future, one commencing at 10 a. M, and
closing at ID y. M, and second Except on Satur
dsy) commencing at p. IN.
Mr. Barnes stirred up Mr.. Laning to-day, by
calling up his resolutions on the NewYOrk State
Kansas Aid Committee Mr. l.. was indignant that
ANYBODY should call up his whereases and resolu-
tons except himself, and either being ignorant of
the rules or presumlng upon the accommodating
ruling Ofhe Speaker, assertedthat no member except
himself could call up his thunder. The Speaker
promptly decided against Mr.. Laning, who desired
TO give vent to his pent up feelings on the subject of
the Republican press, which had abused and
sandered him shamefolly, and asked that Wedncs-
day next might be assigned for the consideration OF
his resOlutiOns--a request which was granted. The
member from Buffalo, during his brlef remarks,
however, gave THE TRIBUNE kick OF two, just to
keep his hand or foot in declaring that journal to
be a common sewer for all sorts OF scurrillty, and
The Buffalo Express an uncommon sewer for that
same.
The Investigating Committee on the Brooklyn
bribery case is likely to turn out great tzze as
Lannings Committee of Investigation on the
charges raade by your spicy correspondent "klo,
relative to the organization OF the House, and the
Kansas Investigating Committee The Brooklyn
case will fail of its object for want Of testimony
while there is firm conviction in the public mind
that there is something in it," The Brooklyn
Assessment bill looks fair upon its face-so tar,
indeed. that it would be difficult perhaps for the
casual observer after bis attention had been called
to the subject, to discover the exact whereabouts
of the lurking colored gentleman. AS originally III
tfOduced the bill provides that no public improve
ment shall be made by the Common Council
BROOKLYN such as the opening of new streets, tbefl
ing in of lots &c, except upon petition signed ny
majority of the owners of land situated the lne or
within the district of assessment fixed by the Com
mon Council for such improyement--that no pro-
ceedings shall be commenced for any improvement
it that city, the expense OF which shall impose
upon any lot of land an assessment exceeding ono
third of its assessed value and that assessed value
shall be- determined from the assessment roll made
for the purpose of leyying the last annual taxes
proceeding the commencement of any such improve
ment Who would say that is not tar and square
Who would pay money to pass or defeat such
bill as that or in other words, where Is the mgger
in the fence l confess that could not hnd him;
and so / consulted Brooklyn gentleman, who
knows thing or two about the CITY OF Churches.
His explanation of the matter was substantially as
follows:
The bill, il will be seen, is general in its charac-
fer and apphes to improvements in the whole city
of Brooklyn, while It's passage is sought TO mt and
favor a particular case. 1t seems that there ls
swamp in Brooklyn, and there may be more than
one. for aught | know to the contrary. On either
side of this swamp are high, dry and beautiful lands,
where lots are worth from S6OO 10 4l,OOO each,
while in the swamp they are at present worth next
TO nothing, say from 81 to Sc EACH The problem
is TO lay out and construct street across this
swamp, thereby enhancing the value OF the swamp
lots on either side of the street from two To three
hundred dollars each, at all expense to the owners
not exceeding two dollars per lot Zone third the as
sessed value), the real expense being thrown upon
the already valuable lots in the district OF
ment, or upon some property other than that whlch
would receive the benefit OF the mprovemeDt-prop-
erty indeed, which would be created by the improve
ment The parties which originated this nice little
dodge must have taken lessons Of your late model
Mayor. They are decidedly smart. Would II not
be well for the Investigating Committee TO send the
Sergeant-at-Arms in pursuit of the owners OF these
swamp lots 1t is just possible that they might be
able if so disposed, to throw light upon subject
now involved in darkness.
Mr. Slows BILL making il a misdemeanor for rail-
road companies to give passes over their roads ex'
cept to officers and employees OF such roads and 10
persons deserving of charity, VIII pass the Senate
and if It fails TO pass the Assembly 1t will be be-
cause of some smOthering process IN Committee.
The Assembly think it small potatoes, and would be
glad to kill it if they could by any ether maans than
direct Nay" There is very strong feeling IN
the country, whether we'll or i'll founded against
railroad influence on legislation; and especially
against the free-pass system and very few members
from the rural districts who should say nay to MIR.
Slows bill would very soon have another opportu-
nifty either to neigh or bray in the Assembly.
