ALnASr Feb. 1.-Two bills belonging TO that
class OF documents which are styled ieelers, were
introduced in the Assembly this morning. The nrst
emanated from Mr.. Dennis Burns. lie very modestly
proposes to abolish the ONCE Of Surrogate IN the
city Of New York, aud to transfer all the powers
and duties Of the once to the Judge. OF the Court
OF Common Pleas MIR. Burns stated to some friends
and others that he was possessed OF petition IN
favor Of bis bill signed by one hundred and odd
members OF the bar MIR. Burns's motive for de.
priving your city OF the services OF the present
handsome and enicient Surrogate Is probably In.
spired by his animosty to the 1atter's relative,
Comptroller Connolly, who Is unfortunate enough TO
be an obstacle In the way Of Matthew 4. Brennan's
nomination TO the cflce OF Comptroller. Such petty
prosecutions these only calculated to strength.
en- MIR. Connollys chances. This ridiculous bill was
referred 10 the judiciary Committee, from which IL
Will never return.
AFrEn rnE REPUBLICAN SUPERVISOR.
The next feeler sprang from the Hon. Owen Nor.
ply. His bill asks for the oustng OF those Super.
visors Of your Board who have not been elected BY
the people, bat have been appointed by the Mayor.
There Is some chance for this BILL as the New York
Board OF Supervisors stands 10 very bad odor, and
will In all probability be abolished before the end Of
the session owen has the best ofreasons for fight
ins the Ring. lie las experienced shameful tr, at
