ALBANY, April 80, 1859.
The action OF the Railroad Committee upon the
Second Avenue Railroad bill reported by Judge
Campbell created some surprise when 1t was found
that the amendments thereto prohibited the use OF
steam cars anywhere within the boundaries Of the
ciry. This would necessarily interfere with the
privileges OF the Hudson River and Harlem roads.
MI. Irving Of the committee who, with his usual
watchfuness, detected that the report had come
from a minority OF the committee-in fact, from
three members only-objected to its reception by the
House until the amendments were stricken out. He
denounced the attem pt to change the purpose OF the
bll which was to prevent the dummy cars from rum
ming on Second avenue. He said that the chairman
when demonstrated with by him on the new features
introduced into the BILL said that what good for
the goose good for the gander" by which he (Mr.
the Second avenue was interfered with all other
roads using steam within the city limits should suffer
amendments were rejected by q vote OF SO to Is.
There is q good deal OF talk here about the nom
resignation OF Judge Connolly In the Seventh Judicial
district. People are beginning TO think That 1t is
about time that his friends united upon successor
TO that place, 1t is understood that the Judge is
able person Is fixed upon to succeed him.
Legislation Is going through with a perfect rush
in order to enable members TO return to their homes
on Thursday Friday next The probabilities are
that this result will be reached, and no one will re-
gret the dissolution OF legislature that has accom-
an exciting discussion in the House to-day on the
canal question. The majority carried the bill after
totally Ignoring the rules Of the House. Htchman
and Jacobs fought the Speaker on his decisions, but
without effect.
Governor Hoffman signed the School bill this after
noon.
