ALBANY March %, 1886.
The Legislature has been engaged upon pre-
hnainares all Winter; now we are getting results.
The Senate to day passed the bill aboshng the Board
of Excise in New-YoTk, and making the Board Of
Health Commissioners of Excise. II also passed the
bill prohibiting the ssueand Of fee passes on the
several railroads in this State
In the Assembly, the Niagara Ship Canal oil, wnicn
some days since was made special order for to-day
was put over to next Tuesday The Pro Rata Freight
bill came up its third reading, and passed by large
majority great many people suppose this exactly the
thing we need in this State. Perhaps is; but do
believe 1t. However. we shall see who Is mistaken II
the bill becomes Law: The Eight Hour blii has been
slaughtered in the House. despite the efforts OF Mr.
House, and Mr. Charles s. Spencer of New.

serprise why should they not have the privilege An
effort was made TO an adjournment FOR to-mor'

fused.
ANOTHER VETO.
The Governor has vetoed bill authorizing the Canal
ppraisers TO take evidence and determine the claims
of het owns of Amsterdam and Florida in Montgomery
County, for injury TO bridge across the Mohawk IN
those towns by the great fesbet Of last Spring AS
there is nothing IN tue Dlll 10 pitttheo va
liability on part Of the State for the injury sustained
fhe Governor could not well do otherwise tnan veto H.
Had the bill directed the Appraisers TO ascertain and
determine the liability nonablty OF the State. II
would have been less Objectionable. The present Legis
laure is doing an extensive business in passing relief
bills we trust the Governor will scrutinizs them care
fully and withhold his signature as often as sense OF
duty may dictate
Albany AND THE LEGISLATURE.
expect Albany will get appropriation for new
Capitol after all said and done. How much that APP
pr0pration will be cannot say-s23O0O perhaps and
possibly less Though the State and nation are over
wbemed with debt. yon cannot make the majority Of
the Legislature realize that that is any reason why
should appropriate larger sums OF money than ever
Paper money is abundant and extravaganza the order
Of the day. and will be until the time comes for squar
ing up accounts The mar gets laughed at who talks
economy. This will be until people find themselves
IN straitened circumstances when they will go 10 the
other extreme, and refuse TO 60 into debt at all Men
are always very saving when they are hard
mp. but cannot be prevailed on 10 practice
economy while money Is easy. This locality
will be pretty well dealt by, without
the Capitol appropriation. The Senate las passed
bill appropratiDg ESQ 600 for dredging the river be-
low Albany half the amount is all that can be advan
tageously expended the pesnt sesson> aud 600 900 is
20 be appropriated to the improvement Of the Albany
BASIN The half a million 10 be given 70 the Albany
and Susquehanna Railroad will beneiit Albany more
fhan any other locality think the Legislature deals
literally with the Albanians, considering how iberal
and inhospitable they are do indeed.
