TIE TRIUMPH OF LAW AND ORDER.
The glorious triumph OF law and order fills all
true hearts with thsnkfulnea. The State and the
country will yet appreciate their obligations to the
true men who have borne the bruns Of this pro-
tracted contest in the face of lawless opposition
totally unexampled in legislative history, and IN
spite of appeals of the insdious character from
fant.hearted advocates Of concession and compro-
mise. The result proves once more that the terrors
Of u mob exist far more in imagination than III
reality The moment that the issue was decided,
the dark legions who have for so many days IN
tested the chamber He'd precpitsicly to their accus-
toned haunta and the Assembly resumed once more
the appearance Of an orderly legislative body But
the evil passions evoked by the contest have not yet
entirely subsided, and the quarrel which has RACED
for some time In the bosom of the Democracy has
broken out lerceIy on tho floor Of the House.
MALICIOUS CHARGES.
Hardly had the new Speaker taken his sent when
Mr.. Fields pre-enled a resolatop for IL Committee
of Inquiry into the charges OF corrupt practice on
his part which have been often alluded 20 during
the progress OF this embiered contest. These re o.
lutiOns were prtiaoed with series Of arially
draw1 preamblcs, the intention OF which evidently
was 10 commit the Assembly in advance TO an ex-
pressn Ia favor Of the respectfully of the sources
from winch the charges proceed, and which to GER
tain extent preludged the guilt Of the party charged
They were in tue nature Of bill * .iGicguept

nr,ses, winch puts the prisoner on the defensive.
| The g'nefou, spirit which animated the vctors ia
the hour Of their triumph, disposed them 10 court
inyes cation, and these resolutions came very near
being carried with rush before their true character
WIS understood. Bat Mr.. Sherwood detected the
real natlro Of the preambles and called
tho attention Of the llouse to tho trick,
which at once became 20 manifest that Judge Dean
Immediately proposed 20 modify the preambles and
,,rike out tie Objectionable features. Bat an unex-
pec'ed opposition then appeared to the whole pro-
ceeding. Mr. Leslie, an impul.iye Democratic MEM
Der from Brooklyn, ross, and in an impGssioned
manner denounced tho whole proceeding. ihis
brought upon him running fire Of hostile criticism
from tho malcontens, now rapidly dwlndling down
to very small bu, very bitter clique, confined prn
cipally 10 the members from the city Of New-Iork,
aud not including all of them. MIR. Fields, who
maniiests every disposition 10 adhere 10 the
policy which TO has heretofore pursued, turned
upon bis political confere and sneeringy nsinuated
that his disposition 10 oonoiliate the newborn power
sprung from desire 10 secure good place on the
Committees about 10 be formed, especially upon the
Committee on The Affairs Of Cities This imputation
was warmly resented by Mr.. Leslie and the Union
men eat by for some time and quietly eujoyed this
family fsuI. However after u focIble argument
flom Mr.. Piudle against the proceeding, as based
upon charges entirely too vague and referring to
matters OF too remote date 10 claim the attention of
the House, motion to adjourn carried and tie
hot dispute broke oil in the middle.
This morning II was renewed Mr. Fields opening
tue ball ia rather elaborate argument 10 which he
undertook TO show, by numerous precedents. that
this House aud other legislative bodies had always
held IL within their province 10 inquire into aega-
tons Of corrupt practice on the part Of their mem-
bers dating back beyond the legal existence VI the
Legislatures inHtituting the inquiry.
hr. Leae next got the floor, aud delivered rare
fully prepared speech, indicating himself from the
aspersions upon bis motives made yesterday by Mr..
Fields.
There was now every prospect Of an acrimoni.
Gus diepuie among The members of the harmonious
Democracy many of whom feel that their pros
poets for the Session have been utterly sbpwrscked
by the violent proceedings Of Mr.. Fields aud bis iuc
ton, and feel very NindictIye toward him IN con-
sequence.
The proceedings however, were brought to IA
sudden close at tbis point, by motion OF Mr.. Yields
himself TO postpone lie whole matter to Ihursttay
OF next week. IL Is likely that we have heard TO
Last Of this 9Oulltlon Of spleen aud that when the
matter comes up again it will be indefinitely post
poned.
UNION CONFERENCE.
A large number OF the Union members held Il con-
ference last evening to decide upon the course which
they ought 10 adopt upon thIs question, and they
were unanimously Of opinion that, while they would
afford full opportunity TO investigate any specific
charges enanatug from respectable sources, they
would discourage the presentation of all vague ac-
cu.atlons evidently Intended TO CRAFTY private
malice.
FOOLISH THREAT EXPLODED.
While this personal matter was pending, Mr.
Callicot. IRON Of delcacy, vacated tho chair
aud invited Mr.. Saxton Smith TO assume it. The
invitation was at once courtoously accepted. This
matter is perhaps only worth mentioning as prac-
tical commentary upon tho foolish threats which
have been 80 freely made, in the House aud out Of
it., that no Democrat would ever occupy the chair
Tor moment II MIR. CalIicot should be chosen
Speaker Mr.. Smith is perhaps the most universally
respected member on tao Democratic eIdo OF the
house, and ls example will be conclusive upon the
great body OF that party.
After this matter was disposed Of the presentation
Of notices. bills, and resolutions was in order, and
the hoodgate, OF legislation Mt once broke loose A
torrent of bills and notices flowed in, and number
OF resolutions were offered

nv from New-Yorh, offered resolution to print
5000 copies Of the Governors Message in German.
