OUR ALBANY CORRESPONDENTS.
ALBANY, May 1, 1seo
learn from Governor Fenton that the delay In regard
to the signing Of the City Tax Levy bill arises entirely
from dispute in relation to the accuracy of the
crossed copy before him. Nelson Waterbury has nled
q protest with the Executive alleging that the clause
Engineer Craven and Assistant Commissioner Oar
ragh for three years should read TO
include also Thomas Stephens, President Of the
Board. It appears that this turns upon single
letter The bill as IL now stands reads commissioner,
whereas Mr. Waterbury and the friends of Mr. Stephens
insist that II had passed in the plural commissioners
The clerk and the engrossng clerk been
summoned appear here this week, when the question
will be determined and the bill signed There has been
no other question regard tho signing of the levy
except what has arisen out OF this Croton Board clause
Some kind OF opposition has been manifested however
from which defeated the concurrence OF
the municipal boards in any levy and which sought to
accomplish n like result between the Senate and
Assembly. The motive Of this curious and specous
design is to show what the result would bc-to
shoulder the Consequence the legislature
the Executive and the "radcalsn-and In reality
to subscrvc two cousvc factions in the
following modes :0ne set who feel themselves on their
last legs officially and politically desire irauguraie
grand finishing saturnalia in the manner Of Bodies
GLIDING year The other set, who have canvassed the
defeat of the tax levy want to accommodate the munich
pal saturnaa advocates as to get up grand reform
excitement and come in for their turn at the public
plundcr themselves. The Governor has at no time en-
erained purpose TO obsruct delay the perfectng
Of the act
End good deal of stir about the approaching fall
campaign, especially in anticipation of the conven-
tons. On the republican ride there Ia decidedly no
other thought entertained but the denomination those
officials who have brought us out OF tho war. Fenton
and Alvord for Governor and Lieutenant Governor will
be the ticket hear OF no urged with any strength
against Fenton for Governor aud the position OF AvOrd
Is only Qualified on the ticket by the concession that the
opposition Which denirs aSSinst Fenion makes no
serious point against the Lieutenant G2IInor,
Some name will be urged FOR lanai Commissioner In
pcce OF Bruce whose term OF Office expires and looks
quite likely that Littlechn who Is canvassod will be
G0hcaded this position TO harmonic with the Weed and
Oswcgo interests
The democrats In quite lively OF anticipa
ton about the fall campaign. They regard the Recon-
strpciion Cemml,tee's report as glgrpn.ce that they
Will carry the Slate The aspect OF the Weed Seward
and Raymond interest towards the dominant radicals
they count upon calculated distract and certainly
defeat hc rcpub cam party The democratic candi
as the republican and from Buffalo New York Henry
g. Murphy, of Kings is the prevailing choice. His ad-
vote on the constitutional amendment Is objected
against him, and his record in the State Senate on so
long a catalogue Of all OF measures IL is feared
may upset him in favor OF John Ganson Of Buffalo
Mayor Holman some other name, possibly even that
OF Slocum, who ran last year as secretary OF State
