W BRoOKLTN RAILROADS.
There was quite brisk fight in the Assembly this
morning, the Grand-sreet, Brooklyn, Railroad bill,
which was advocated in Committee of the Whole by
p Messrs. Law, Miken, and Briggs, and opposed by
s, Messrs Callicot Jacques, and A. A. Myers. The Com
mittee finally reported progress.
B. The bill to provide means for prosecution ef work
on the Central Park was ordered to third reading.
and the bill to prevent stockholders in railroad
I'D corporations from voting by proxy II s presumed
that there will be lively debate this bill on its
10 | final reading.
II is very doubtful whether the Assembly will cor
in cur in the Senates joint resolution adjourn
n. from the 18th to 9th for general blowout The
rs PrO-Rata will not consent to adjourn uoess they
first pass their pet measure through the Assembly
and there many members who are opposed on
rs principle to sdjounng for ten dayH-oneenth of the
g constitutional session-thnking rather tee steep.
