From an Occasional Correspondent.
ALBANY, Jan. 1s.-The work Of the session has
begun in earnest, and from this time forward there
will be no end TO the corrupt jobs and schemes Of
Squire sweeny's honest Democratic Legislature. A
rumor was circulated this morning In the effect that
Squire Swecny had brought up last night the new
charter for your city, and that the precious docu
ment was to be introduced In the Assembly this
morning by Aleck Frear, Squire sweeny's PROXY on
the floor OF the House. Why the Ring" did not
carry out their project remains mystery. At any
rate one thing 10 certain the "litc joker" Is
reted, and II passed will make the citizens Of New
York more than ever the
SLAVES or ruE nINo.
1t IL principally the work OF Abe O'Hall and Geo.
II. Purscr VINO have executed the Job 10 the entire
satisfaction OF the Ring. But by the time the
comes up for the nal action OF the Legisla
ture, the Ring will be more than surprised at the
opposition this and their other pet schemes will re-
ceive. For as your correspondent not long ago
predicted the days Of the Rings power are mum.
bered. They no longer control the Senate. That
body switched OF from the main track to-day, the
sequel will plainly show. The situation In the
Lower House, Is also unfavorable to the Rings
prospects
ruE WAR AGAINST rHE RISG
was begun 10 the executive session Of the Senate
this morning. The after the doors closed
were very exciting No sooner had the chamber
been cleared than q communication was received
from the Governor submitting batch OF nomina-
tions for confirmation. Certain Senators In the in
tercst OF the Ring urged immediate action. About
ten Democratic Senators, aided by oil the Repub-
cans. voted this motion down. Then warm ana
lively debate ensued. Some Democratic Senators
declared In emphatic terms that they would not con-
sent to the consideration Of any nominations until
the Governor had sent in az the names OF his hp-
pontees. The Ring Senators were dismayci at this
unexpected attack upon the Governor and In vain
attempted TO calm the troubled waters. But Is wm
Of no avail. The debate was prolonged and the
GOVERNOR HANDLED WITHOUT GLOVES.
| Finally, Mr.. Beach was confirmed State Assessor,
and the other appointments were laid over. The
Ring Ia In fearful state OF excitement Gov. Hon
man especially is particularly chagrined and morti-
| hed But 1t Is all his own fault, and he can blame
| nobody but himself. He did not consult anybody
| outside, but the masters OF the 1ammany Ring
concerning these appointments. lie probably did
| not deem 1t worth his whine TO do so.
Had he at least out OF courtesy told Senators Genet

| opinions upon the subject. tie result would have
been different But he expected that Squire Swceny
tors would fall into line and march where he or
dcred them. Among his appointments, and one
which was especially disIasic'u to the Democrats,
| was that OF
WILSON O. HUNT
| for Quarantine Commissioner. A Mr.. Hunt has
not voted the Democratic ticket for ten year, his
| nomination will meet with summary rejection. Gov.
| Hohman's course in nominating such well-known
Radical as MIR. Hunt TO an important onice la.
George W Mi.ler OF Rochester, Is also rather dis
tasteful TO the palate OF the Democratic
and is SAID TO have pledged himself to secure the
| support OF the Democracy OF Central New fork ior
vcntion. Another appointment OF his EHce.lenCy
will likely be rejected, that OF Mr. y. W Lawrence
