Another section permits Aldermen 90 The Station Houses

is common talk here tina. there is very large SUM
OF ready funds on hand to push this Charter through as
| Legislature. The same common talk fixes the cum
rendy for distribution, in the event of enactnp ths
bill into law, at $4,000. Bot the impression here d
that tbat sum is not Largo enough and that nothing 10
likely 70 pass in the way of City Charter unless it
be the bin appointing Commission to draft CHARTER
to be subsequently submitted to thepeope for approval

| FEDERAL RELATIONS.
The resolutions heretofore discussed being special
order in the Senate for to-day, Senator Spine took
the floor and made general defense Of bis consistency
in his course with reference TO the difficulties undoe
which our country is Lbonng. This he attempted -
accomplish by proving that the RepabLcans are re-
sponsible for all the troubles. Most men would have
found some difficulty In finding party responsible for
state of affairs brought about by Administrations over
which 1T had no control; bat not so Spinola. He
never iinds any difficulty. He has very vivid and
ierie imagination, AID if facts wanting for bis
SIDE ne has no difficulty in getting up substitutes thst
answer bis purpose full better
Starting with ascribing to Senator Hammond tho
position that tho Chicago Platform must stsnd whether
the Union does or not, which was never taken by SEN
| stor Hammond be deliberately substituted badly
| printed opecmen of come obscure newspaper which
contained come genuine extracts from Helpers book
mixed with some garbled aud pretended ones, fer tho
Chicago Pattorm-not word of which not single
principle or sentiments Of which cid he slude " even
moet family. AFTER reading and commenting on thea
extracts for some time, he gave some pretended ex-
tracts from The Albany Regtster, which were
promptly pronounced forgeries by Senator Ham
mond made q Characteristic alluscn to John Brown,
and subsided.
Senator Hammond, after calm rebuke Of the ungen-
tleany ard disreputable of Senator Spinoia,
aud some general remarks on the MAIN question,
alluded to the consistency OF the Senator iron
the lid. When South Carolina only threatened To
90 ouG Senator SpinOla was for voting ten miGons-
When she actually did 90 out be fell to six millions.
When Georgia had followed he came down TO three
millions. When Alabama followed he came down yes
further; and when Louisiana had aso gone and stolen
all the forts and arsenals OF the nation, be could noe
vote even million But when she bad also taken tho
mnt with a it's shining contents, he could not give
cent. His courage, Ike Bob Across, had all oOzed oh
VI his euds-had vanished into thin air, like tho
baseess fabric OF vision leaving not wreck Tor nary
red behind.
Before concluding bis remarks the hour of adjourn
nent arrived.
