LAsT-GENERAL SLAUGHTER OF RAILROAD
BILLs-AN EFFORT TO DEFEAT THE GAS
BILL-THE TAX LEYIES-THE MEDICAL PRE-
sCRIPTION BILL.
ALBANY. May 1.-The hustle and confusion which
marked life within the Capital in the beginning and
middle of the week has given place at Its close to
quiet and dull routine. Very little of moment trans
pired in either branches of the Legislature. The AS
semby was engaged for two hours in concurring in
the Senate amendments to bills heretofore 80 hastily
passed by the Assembly. 1t then reached the order
of third reading of bills and ground ont goodly
grst of local bills for food for Executive veto Under
the order of reports large batch of bills re-
ported complete, and thereby escaping the gauntlet
of the Committee of the Whole. Perhaps this is as
WELL for in the haste of these latter days of the
session, the file is very little used by this
wholesale Committee. Mr. Richmond set the
minds Of the Democrats and the Repub-
lcans who so generous as to cooperate
with them in the matter at rest by reporting the Tax
Commissioners BILL Mr.. Gleason however, Chair
man of the Cities Committee, was ready with mi
norty report, which he presented. Unless the bill
Is progressed an operation which requires two
third vote it will stand poor chance of getting any
further toward place in the volume of session laws
Only one veto was received this morning-a fact
so remarkable as not to fail to excite comment. The
bill was an extremely local one, referring to School
District and Jordan Academy in the town Of FL
bridge, Onondaga County. Ii infringes on the Gen.
eral School law, the Governor claims. Only four
votes were given for passing the same over the veto,
though III the general confusion, it is doubtful
whether one member in ten knew aught of it's merits
or dement's
The feature Of the session in the Senate was the
general slaughter of railroad bills, by adverse re-
ports from the Committee. Among them is the Man
haitian Underground. In nearly every instance the
Senate promptly sustained the reports. few bills
were passed. and at ~ o'clock the Especial ORDER con-
sderation of claim bills, taken up and occupied
the remainder of the session
strong effort is being made defeat the Gas bill
in the Senate Committee. This effort takes the indi-
rect shape of lacking on amendments, so that the
bill will have to 90 back to the House, where at this
late stage of the session it would be in danger. The
Hon p Mitchell who champions the bill, was before
the Senate Committee last evening, and made strong
argument in its favor. He urged the Committee TO
report the bill without amendment, and intimated
that was their duty not only to report at an early
day. but 10 urge the passage of the same in their
places in the Senate, The Committee promises to
take definite action by Tuesday next.
The Tax Levies will probably not be reported be-
fore Tuesday. ] give below the applications now
being considered by the Committee which are not in
the bin az it passed the Senate Most Of them, in
deed are new applications and were not before the
Senate Committee Where no amount is named III
