FROM ALBANY.

ALbANhi rluhy, req 10, IcoJ.
believe that all the friends Of Registry Law,
mary of whom do not like the bill now before the
Assembly have come to an understanding that that
bill shall be kept in Committee Of the Whole till
such time as the subjec. can be carefully aud thor
ougbly examined, and this bill, or substitute for
it, be so perfected as to answer the purpose Of
preventing frauds at elections and at the time
meet the views of majority of the Legislature.
There is bill now before the Senate, introduced
by Mr. JOHNSON, which has many excellent fes-
lures, and number of bills have been prepared
by other persons. The plan proposed is to exam
inc ard compare these various bills, and combine,
if possible, the best features of each in one bill,
which shall be acceptable to the majority.
There are no doubt some members ostensiby
favorable to a Registry law who cherish in their
hearts the hope of defeating such an act by delay,
by convenient disagreement between the two
Houses by lodging when their votes are required,
or by any other indirect mode Of doing what they
have not the courage manliness 10 attempt openly
and abOveboard. The OutspOken opponents of
Registry count with good deal of confidence on
the effective assistance of this class of brilliant
statesmen to help them out in defeating the meas
ure when the pinch comes. Time will determine
whether they or are not counting without their
host.
Among the most determined, active, working
friends of Registry law is Mr.. c. s. Spencer Of
your city, who should be fayorably remembered by
the friends of pure ballot-box, whatever may be
the fate of the measure now before the Assembly
Some people cavl at Mr.. s. for proposing 80 many
amendments to bill which he himself had reported
| to the House, but such persons may not know, or
knowing do net regard the fact that the Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, to which the subject
bad been referred, is opposed to any Registry law
or to be NICE any law which shall make registration
a condition of voting, and that a majority of the
| Committee were opposed to such bill as Mr.. s.
desired to report so, in order to get any bill before
the House. he was obliged to accept such or one as
| a majority Of the Committee would agree TO. The
bill has been sOmew hat amended s,ready, but evil
| IDENTITY needs to be submitted to further pruning
and grating before goiDs on to the statute-book
OF course neither gr. Spencer nor any other real
friend Of Regstry is tenacious about any particular
bill The object is to pass bill which shall effect
| the suppose desired.
will not Undertake to Btedic. the final result on
| this important measure; but, unless g,ossy MS
apprehend the tone and temper of the Legislature,
the Assembly would now vote for q good Registry
bill, if brought to the test in full house. How it
| may be some weeks hence may depend on the kind
Of manipulation to which members may be sub
jected. In compliance with the plan above indi-
Gated, the Assembly which was unusually "tired"
last evening, reported progress on the Registry
bill, ana made it the special order for Friday next
at III a. m.
To-day Mr.. MoRRIs took the floor on apryileged
question and unburdened himself as follows:

A. for incorporating Mr.. Morris, in regard to
bis having urged, point, that egstry OF votes
would not prevent fraud, have only TO say that
quoted bis precise words-not al his speech, TO BE-
sure, nor any considerable portion OF II, but gave
his most condensed expressions. This Is an unim
portant part Of the business, however, and | am
willing 10 admit if he desires it, that he didn't
make point-that is, good pont-in that or any
other portion of his remarks. As for the stupid

pid to understand exactly what Mr. Morris

Registry law unconstitutional, he says, - have
