lions Passed the Senate-The NOn-Rcsident
Market Bill Passed In the HOuse-Shaky
Condition OF the Broadway Surface Rail-
road.
ALBANY April Is. 1852
The Naturalization law, az 1t Is called was before
the Senate to-day. There was very bitter debate
upon It, but 1t passed by the votes OF all the Senators
present except Mr. Dreamer. who voted in the mega
tive. Mr.. Creamers objection to this bill was under
stood to be that while all its provisions are excu
sively OF penal character there is nothing in it
which gives the naturalized citizen who may have lost
his naturalization papers. the right to prove that
fact by af1davit. As the law stands now II Is DIS
creti0nary with the election Ocias to receive his
affidavt or not. Senator Dreamer thinks that this
protection should be extended to naturalized citi
zens.
The bill which passed the House to-day restraining
the Comptroller from renting stalls In any Of the
New York markets to others than residents of the
State met with some opposition, on the ground that
1t was In violation OF the constitution OF the United
States, which guarantees to citizens Of one State
the rights enjoyed by the citizens Of all. This OBJ
lection, however, was not as strong as that OF Mr.
Hixon, who urged that the bill deprived the Comp.
troller Of the power to rent market stalls to the
advantage Of the city treasury. The argument that
the law would exclude producers OF agricultural
products from the markets was answered by MT.
Plunkett who stated that this class had the privi-
lege OF selling from their wagons on payment OF o
small fee, and the bill was aimed at the midde-men
or spectators In stalls who rented, not from the
city, but from private individuals who somehow get
the right to rent the stalls.
