GOV. HoFFMAN's VITO THE FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT RATIFIED BY THE SENATE

THE ARCADE RAILROAD. ..,.-.. .,r-. Al
Albany, April 1.-THE veto Of Gov Hoffman ha
created much talk to-day around tho Legislature
and while the lobby and those members who hav
similar jobs to that of the One hundred
ffth-st. railroad dislike it. honest legislators an
those who here fighting the jobs well pleased
This veto is the death kne of all surface railroa
jobs Of this session. Broadway may still try t.
wriggle its way through the Senate blu
it is doubtful il it succeeds even there
1t is true the persons who pushed this scheme
never expected to get the Governors signature, bu
they hoped to override his veto. They cannot have
this hope long for they know the language of thii
veto win arouse public sentiment which will sustain
the Governor in all his efforts TO throttle like
schemes. There was trouble in the Broadway camp
even before this veto was received. The universal
condemnation Of the scheme has frightened some
Senators who wanted to vote for the bill, but dared
not blast themselves forever. Senator Genet has
been afraid to press the bill to vote lest his weak
kneed friends should desert him. The honest oppo-
nents of Broadway are seen in the votes
on Senators Folger's, Campbels and Parker's
| amendments last week. Those who voted
| against all amendments which would give
the franchise to the highest bidder, which would
protect the Taxpayers of your city, in the ring
or counted on by it to support the measure at
| columns Of Monday. showed who were tainted and
who were not. There will be some who helped the
ring in all its prelminaries, who will vote against
the bill when 1t up on its final passage, but
their condemnation will not be honest They wanted
tho "swsg." but they dared not take It, This One
hundred-and dtwenty- fifth-st. road can never be
passed over the veto. It was villainous job from
beginning to end Concocted In the Senate, 1t was
pushed through both houses by the personal exertons
Of prominent Democratic politicians, and liberal
promise Of stock in tho franchise -'.y
Almost the entire session Of the Senate was Occur
pied this morning in discussing the Fifteenth Con-
stitutional amendment. The Democrats did most of

received the sanction Of the Assembly. New-York is
at last right on the record for Equal Rights. = r
The fight for the Police Commissionership In
place of Mr.. Acton is waxing warm. The contest
really lies between ex-Supervisor Henry Smith and
Judge Low. Commissioner Manierre has been here
working for the latter, lie has also warm friends
pushing his claims. Mr. Smith has also large dele
CATION working in his favor. An informal delegation
from the Republican General Committee of your city
and another one from tho Lincoln Club are working
like beavers for him. His chances ut this writing
are the best Mr. Chauncey NJ. Depew has been
urged by many persons 20 become q candidate, but
he has refused so far 10 consent. .t .-
