Mr. Spnola to insert his speech in the public papers.
Others thought the speech would have good effect upon
the public II appeared print without being delivered
in the Senate He was not allowed 10 proceed, but per

This morning the Senate presented a scene Of the
greatest confusion. Nothing in comparison has occurred
during the sessions the present members have
pied their Everything appeared to be at and
sewers and out Of sorts took nearly hour before
any regularity courtesy could be established Even
then bombshell was thrown in, which created new
elements This was the city railroad bills, reported by
Mr. Nogon. The first one announced was the Seventh
avenue title transferred from Broadway parallel This
luence with the republican party said to be
randipg hence he has been engineering the bill through
the House. Bet he had no influence with Senator W. A.
Wheeler When Mr Noxon announced the report in favor
of the BILL Sr. Wheeler moved TO lay the report the
table. Mr. Wheeler is OF the oldest In the
legislature and carries strong influence with him. He
has had his eye upon these city railroad specializing jobs,
watched the act obedience Of the House of Assembly TO

be his duty to nterpose his objections 10 the legazng
Of these most corrupt abom Mutations. His motion
to lay the Broadway parallel, alias the Seventh
nation dsmay and disappointment cast a gloom
That crowded Senate lobby. The hundreds there
nom New York pressing the railroad pecalaons, became
ascunded ut the vote which laid the parallel road the
table. II is as dead picked herring and Two Of the
conspaors had the UNPARALLELED mpudence TO the
correspondent of the New York HERALD of having assisted
several occasions in backing down this railroad bill in
the Legislature. Well, stand the imputation.

This permitted 10 90 70 the Committee Of the Whole
The avenue road, contemplated to the present
Dry Dock stage route Was so referred 10 the Committee
OF the Whole. Next the Ninth George
Laws road The bill proviyes that the action OF the
New York Common Council shall be confirmed.
This is laid down TO Canal street, where il has been
arrested by virtue Of injunction at the instance of the
candy Stuarts Now the present bill proposes to
ride the action OF the courts dissolve the injunction by
legislative enactment and allow Live Oak George TO
nopoze both Greenwich and Washington streets from
Canal street to the Battery Mr. Wheeler also moved that

Then the bill for horse railroad from Grand street,

II discovered that Senator Noxon had erased the
names Of the coporators as passed the Assembly Their
Ira Conklng, Jr., Tappen Townsend John 7.
Rainier, Stephen N. 0strander, W. II Furman For some
unexplained reason Mr. Senator Noxon inserted the
of j. Hall A. B. Hodges, briggs, T. Swift, NJ Kabdsh,
p. NJ Chauncey, Ira Becmon, Jr cand Mr.. Waterbury.
This discovery created great sensation Senator Spnoa
advocated the insertion of the names. Senator
Sloan had taken little interest in this matter He believed
that Mr. Beeman had no interest on the line OF the pro-
posed road and only desired be incorporated with
others as matter Of speculation The Senator would not
vote for the bill, whatever names were inserted in it.
The bill was referred 10 the Committee Of the Whole,
where ts merits be discussed. Thus will be seen
that the Senate nanftsts desire to investigate all these
Specializing schemes and they are nothing else, and not
allow the lobby gentry to run them through pcll NELL
Jehu Ike, under lightning speed without why or where
fore.
The Bouse though refusing 10 confer with the Senate
the amendments TO the Quarantine BILL did it with q
qualification. The Senate held the bill compelling Rich
mond county to pay all expenses incurred by burning
quarantine buildings and the House demanded the pas
sage Of that bill before the quarantine amendments shall
be confirmed. So you easily what amount or
figuring there Is going In relation 10 these matters
