ALBANY, Saturday, April 10, 1859.
1t is whispered about, very much to the surprise
of many of the best friends of Gov. King, that he
does not intend to send in to the Senate any other
names for Police Commissioners in place of those
of Messrs. Bowen and Stranahan, which names
were withdrawn only when it became evident that
that movement alone could save them from Senate
rial slaughter ! find It difficult to credit these
strange stories. The Governor has long since
earned the reputation of az honorable, honest high
minded gentleman. He knows that the appointing
bower in this case is not the Governor alone, but
1.-The Governor, with the advice and consent of the
Senate. And | will not believe, with out positive
testimony that he Will refuse TO nominate, and thus
retain in Office men whom he knows the Senate
would reject if they had an opportunity-thus ac-
comprising by indirectIOn what he cannot do
directly and openly
The Senate passed the Registry act to-day (being
the bill originally introduced into the Assembly with
some slight amendments) by vote of II to IA
full vote of the Senate--all the Republicans and
Americans voting for it, and all the Democrats
against. When Mr. Laflins name was called, he
asked to be excused from voting, and gave his rea-
sons therefor Nj L. said his position was one of ex
IRENE embarrassment. His constituency (Herkimer
and Oisego Counties demanded no such law. There

it might be otherwise; but he feared the law would
not accomplish the object sought. He had no con-

to find himself in position aDtagOnstic to that of
Me almost unanimous voice of his party The SEM
ale refused to excuse him, when he said he must
yield to power he could not resist and syowing
the doctrine tbat on all great questions, unless to
his mind clearly involving a wrong, he intended to
fol- " his party d matter of principle, and that
upon all questions of policy meeting with the almost
unanimous wish of that party he intended to follow
1t as matter OF discipline, he voted YEA.
Dr. Patterson asked to be excused, which re-
quest not granted, snd he, contrary to the gem
eral expectation voted YEA. SO the bill was passed
and sent TO the Assembly for concurrence.
Mr. Adams gave notice to-day that he should
call up the Assembly Registry bill from the table on
Tuesday next at II o'clock, SO that all who desire
10 vote for or against it may be on hand and those
who wish to dodge can stay away; but they will not
have the excuse, thereafter that they did not know
when the vote was to be taken. Ii it should be
called from the table, motion will, no DOUBT, be-
made TO substitute the Senate bill.
The bill to repeal the Metropolitan Police law was
put upon its final passage, and lost-1l to IL. The
bill to legalize stock gambling also passed, with
some slight amendments, in which the Assembly
