The bill TO abolish the penalties for taking usuons
interest was again discussed at considerable length Ia
the Assembly to-day In which Messrs niiiiken NOD

posed with much force by Messrs. Wiley, Finch, Allen
of Erie Binghsm, Barnett, Maxson, and others, ana
the House refused order the bill to third reading.

. THE IRREPREssIBLE CONFLICT.
Mr.. =. 2. Murphy, the Senator from the Niagara
district made very able speech to-day on the Gov
erpors message in review of the positions of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties on the great question
of Slavery and Freedom which sensbly disturbed the
Democratic side of the Senate When he had finished,
Mr.. Lawrence of Long Island rose and said that ne
could not sit quietly in his and listen to statements
which were uDquafedy false, and repeated: Yes,
Sir, l aay false" Mr. Lawrence then went on to
charge Mr. Murphy with having falsely stated that
Governor Morgan had not signed the recommendation
of Helpers book but the Compendium to the Crisis:
Mr.. Lawrence said much more, the purport OF which
was, that he didn't like the Helper book very well,
which ia natural enough since he and his party are In
imminent danger Of dying from an over dose OF Helper

General of Indiana, in defense of Cook, OF liarpers
Ferry memory, wherein the said Attorney ex
p essed opinions against the Divine origin OF laws
which permit merchandising in men and women This
speech LAWYERS plea he said was made by Repub-
lcan and therefore he charged the sentiments Of the
speech to the Republican party. presume the ke-
publicaDs would not object TO the sentiments OF the
speech, which was very good one, as Tar as could
Judge from the extracts read by the Senator. But
Mr.. Lawrence ought TO know, he does not, that tue
Attorney General Of Indiana is Democrat, and that
he was engaged by Gov. Willard, another Democrat,
10 defend Cook his brother law. IL he did know
these facts then dsturbs him less TO stand up and
utter false statements the floor of the Senate than
to cit in his seat and listen to what he is pleased to
term false, but which is literally true.
Mr. Murphy in reply, stated that he had 1t from

Therefore there was question OF veraclty between
T.. ID. Morgan and Senator Lawrence and Mr.. l.. had

He ALEC set Mr.. Lawrence right in regard to the At
torney -General of Indiana.
Mr.. Mcleod Murphy rose to a question of privilege,
and stated that while he had regard for his name
sake which amounted almost to affection he did not
wsh to be held responsible for his political sentiments
he had been by his constituents for some Of the bills
which he had introduced. He begged, therefore, in
printing his remarks the Senator from the Niagara
District would be careful to put in the initials of his
name.
BROoKLYN wATER-woRKs.
We bal very pretty set 10 to-day between the two
Democratic Senators from Brooklyn. Mr.. Spnola has
pet bill here to amend the Water Works Il of the
City Of Brooklyn, as to cut of the heads Of the
present Water Commissioners and to appoint four per-
sons in their stead, without salary.
Senator Gardiner colleague OF Spinola from Kings,
in the absence Of the latter moved to recommt the
BILL under the profession that persons from Brooklyn
wished to be heard. The motion wac carried. Spinols
hearing of this by his associate Senator, asked
for reconsideration, stating in effect that trick had
been played upon him. that the obje Of recommittal
simply to kill the BILL that the plea of wishing to
be heard was mere preense; and that his associate
from Kings bad not represented the wishes of his con
stituepts but simply those of the present Water Com
missioners, and their maker, Mayor Powell
Senator Gardiner responded to Spinoa, saying that
the recommittal called for by the people of the
City of Brooklyn; that the proposed bill was intro
1uced for jobbDg purposes and not for reform; and
hat he hoped the motion for reconsideration would
lot prevail. The vote being taken, and the result
icing announced Gardner came off victorious. But
Spinola " Ill not rest satisfied with this triumph over
