ALBANY. April 6, leta
DISPATCH OF business.
1t is difficult to conceive of greater degree
Of assduty than is displayed by the two Houses OF
the Legislature, especially by the Assembly. In the
latter over eighty bills had their third reading and
passage Yesterday Notwithstanding that the Assembly
was in Committee Of the Whole upon the Militia bin FOR
several hours. Those who complain Of the slow pro-
gress business during the first weeks Of the session
do always reflect that the work il then done almost
exclusively in Committees. The bills now passing 80
rapidly we're matured in Committees IN January ana
February.
THE MILITIA BILL.
This bill reported by Gen CroOke. appropriates over
SsGO 900 toward armiDg and equipIng the militia ana
has occupied the attention of the Assembly through
the greater part Of several stings There is large
party headed by Gen. Crooke. who are enthusiasts
upon all that pertains to the military arm and its eft
cheney. and in tho opinion Of considerable number
ore always sufficiently regardiul OF economical con-
alterations when measures affecting the militia are
concerned. The struggle between these factions "a
somewhat exciting and the matter is not yet finished
BANK COMMITTEE REPORT
Mr. Brandreth, this morning read bis minority re.
port from the Committee Banks. As was expected
Il takes most decided ground against the views Of the
majority and is full Of hopeful patriotism eoquenty eI
pressed.
A large deputaton from the city OF New York arc
here opposing the tax levy. With few respectaOie
exceptions, the deputetiOu does nOt repfesont
the wealth or business strength OF that
city IL is feared that the influential gentle
men VINO moving In this matter on behalf OF the OPP
pressed tax payers Of the city, have not yet felt the
necessity Of doing this work In person instead OF by
deputy and that they attach too much importance 20
the efforts OF professional lobbyists When the chief
taxpayers Of New. York willing themselves to fl
positions In the City Government and come personally
10 Albany TO confer with legislators reform may be at
tannbe Until then il is an idle dream.
CHKSANCO CANAL.
The bin was among those read the third time last
evening and passed. 1t imposes tax Of 3l6 OF mill
for the extension aud completion Of the canal 1t es
timated that the expense Of carrying out the plan viii
be from e. 900 to e. but its friends do not
admit this.
