ALBANY LEGISLATION FOR THE CITY OF New
YoRK-We published yesterday complete ac-
count of all the bills introduced into both houses
of the State Legislature relating to this city and
Brooklyn, and the disposition thereof from
which an excellent idea may be obtained of the
dependence of our metropolis upon the legisla-
tors at Albany, and the mode in which our mu.
nicipal government is cramped and interared
with in that quarter. 1t appears that ninety
seven bills in relation to this city and Brooklyn
have been introduced into the House, of which
seventy-ive relate to New York and twenty two
10 Brooklyn; while in the Senate sixty-three
bills referring to this city alone have been intro
duced. Of these one hundred and thrty-eigbt
bills, no less than nineteen are providing for
charters for city railroads in New York, Brook
Ign and williamsburg. The Committee Of the
House have already reported in favor of railroads
upon the Eighth, Ninth and Eleventh avenues.
and on Bloomingdale road, as they have already
upon Second, Third and Fourth avenues. to
Harlem river. They express regret that the
rails are not laid through the main streets reach
ing down to the Battery and the ferries in the
Ao"SA P"ie vi ehe eity' lucy tuluk an unDrOken
chain of railways should reach from Buffalo to
the Battery. They also recommend the opening
of Church street or Of West Broadway to the
Battery, and the extension Of the Hudson River
Railroad to Castle Garden.
The Senate Committee, however have not yet
reported upon the railroad bills before them,
and it is said that the result will probably be
unfavorable to the jobbers and spectators. The
other most important bills affecting our local
affairs are those for the amendment of the char
ter, revising the tax levy, the removal of Qua
rantinc, the repeal of the Metropolitan Police
law, and the innumerable ones concentrating
power in the hands of Comptroller Haws.
In the few days that remain before the adj
journment an attempt will be made to dispose
of this immense mass Of legislation. A great
portion of it, however, will most probably be laid
over for future Legislature which we trust will
occupy less Of its time in mischievous mcdding
with the local government of this city.

The HEIGHT OF ABsuRDITY.--We have given
some account of the expulsion Of Two hundred
children of Roman Catholic parents from one of
the public schools Of Boston The children, acting
under parental authority, of course, refused TO
join in the repetition of the Lords Prayer and
the Ten Commandments according to the Pro
testant version of the Scriptures. Judged from
q common sense point Of view, the conduct of
both teachers and parents was absurd It is
wonderful, on the one hand, that those who arc
intrlsted with the education of youth in the
really excellent schools of Boston, should not
have more sense than to make religious exer-
cises Imperative matters; and, on the other, that
intelligent people should deprive their children
of educational advantages upon point
which Is really Of no vital consequence.
II is an example Of the extent to which
unyielding fanaticism, bigotry and intolerance
will carry both parents and teachers. Here
similar question was made into capital for
number of small politicians who desired to
finger the school money; and the same result
may cventuate In Boston. We cannot see what
possible harm 1t can do child 10 repeat the
Lords Prayer and the Dccologue, and must con-
slider that the infusion of the spirit Of intolerance

WASHINGTON HErGHTs-THE NEw AVENUES
AND s1REETs.--The Senate of this State yer,
ptope'l. rejected proposition to appoint com
mission err, without naming them, to lay out the
avenues and streets through the region of Wash
ipeton heights, in the Twelfth ward of this city.
Another proposition was subsequently made 10
tbcAssenbly, which was an Improvement on the
Grst, because it named the commissioners, and
did not leave their appointment to the inf fence
of corruption and the lobby. Still, however, il
was Objectionable. So long an interval elapsed
since the bill was introduced without any action
being taken on it, that we naturally concluded it
had been laid to sleep. Within tho last two or
three days, however, it appears the bill has been
reported iasorably. We hope it will not pass.
The proprietors Of the land ON Washington
Heights have too great interests at stake to leave
the arrangement of the avenues and streets to the
judgment of any set of commissioners, no matter
how horest or we'll inteutioned they may be. 1t
involves DO h question of taste and a question
OF depreciation of property. The sustainment
of the present value of the property and it's
future increase depends on the taste and judg-
ment dis az ct in laying out the avenues and
streets. II the plan be designed as it ought to be
the value of the property will not only be main
taled tut realty enhanced. If the plan should
turn out to be bad, and interfere with the natural
fluctuations and varieties of the ground, the
value of the property would be greatly depre-
ciated for the health and beauty of the situation
would be destroyed at one fell stroke by the hand
Of vandalism. AS the matter, therefore, chiefly
concerns the owners of the property, we trust
the Assembly will take no further step as to the
bill; and if it does that the Senate will reject it
so soon as it is sent to that branch oil the Legis-
lature.
The common sense way Of disposing of the
question is what we have already advised: let
the owners OF the hand themselves meet and Law
ont the streets and avenues, which is matter
of the greatest simplicity, requiring only two or
three winding avenues parallel with the river to
be intersected by cross streets. not on the rec
tangular system, but following the nature of the
ground. Then let this plan be sent for approval
to the Legislature, which will adopt it as mat
ter of course. Thus the expense and uncertainty
of commission will he avoided all concerned
will be satisfied, and the natural beauty and
value of this magnificent .faubouy for healthy
and delightful suburban residences will be pre-
served, not only to the present generation, but to
latest posterity.

RAILROAD CONFERENCE.-The object Of and
necessity for all the railroad conventions that
assemble almost every week in various parts of
the country must be a considerable puzzle to
those who read in the newspapers the reports of
their proceedings. Most frequently the conven.
tions are for the purpose of reconciling the diff
ferences between the great roads that are in di.
rect competition for the carrying trade between
the lakes and the seaboard and to fix the rates
of freight and Of passenger fares, the hours of
starting the rate of speed, the employment of
agents, the discontinuance Of free passes, &c.
Sometimes it is found impossible to reconcile op-
posing interests in all these respects, and the
convention breaks up without eiiccting anything.
When an understanding is had, however. it is
never more than mere temporary cessation Of
hostilities; and the truce is sure to be violated
within week or two of the day when it is sol.
emily entered into. Then the various roads IN
der6'd and try to ruin each other till the sui
cidol policy Of that game becomes felt, and til, il
"'ooues imperatively necessary to patch up
mother truce. Another convention is called for
lhat purpose, and new arrangements are made,
only to be violated as soon as the high contract
ing powers return to their headquarters. The
honor that is proverbial among thieves does not
seem to have any existence among railroad Pre-
sidents; and hence these constantly recurring
railroad conventions which puzzle the public 50
much to understand.
One Of these conventions has been in session
at Buffalo for several days past. There were no
less than ninety-eight delegates present, repre-
aenting some forty-fve Northern and Western
and Canadian companies. There was the usual
fight over time tables rates of speed and freight
charges with the same certainty that whatever
arrangement might be arrived at would not be
observed faithfully for a week.
The fact is, that all these mectiogs and con-
ventions are nothing less than organized conspi-
racies against the interests of the public and in
favor OF the interests Of the railroad companies.
Inc only safety for the public is In the fathless
ness OF the conspirators, and in the certainty
that whatever compact they may make will fall
TO pieces They are each so greedy that they
cannot be got to keep within the terms Of the
combination, but, besides victinizinp the pubIic
would fam cheat each other. The charters Of
the several companies were granted on the idea
that the roads TO be bull, would he for The yene-
raj benefit; but If the roads were ~ unviscly II.
Gated, or so vihanously managed as 10 fail to he
profitable, that forms no excuse for combinations
to increase the fares or freight charges above
what is fair and reasonable. The only under.
standing that should exist between the various
roads is as to making close and certain oonnec
tons Of trains. Beyond that, all Interior ar
