ALBANY, Jan. "a, 1870.
A BIG MARgEr JOB.
Alexander Frear's bill introduced to-day for the
incorporation OF Manhattan Market Company or
the City OF New York; provides for an immense
piece OF business. The ncorporators consisting OF
Felciano Latassa, William II. Fuller Charles Z. Lu
THOMAS Marshall, Q. II. Swan, II. NJ. Harrington
William Tobin, are empowered to take charge all
the markets In the city under one consolidated
management. 10 rent and lease stalls buy property
build piers, &C.. for market purposes, with power
to issue stock and scrip. This law, you see. would
create an almost omnpotent board 10 settle the
whole market question.
NO JOKE ABOUT SING SING.
1t is an error 10 suppose that the proposition to
remove Sing Sing Prison has nothing substantial
about It. Husted the tather OF the bi asseyerates
that the Inhabitants OF the town OF Sing sing about
1000 In number, hail the proposal with extraordinary
enthusiasm and are quite In earnest about 1t. In.
deed, citizen OF that place says that II the bill
should pass every man, woman and child IN that
pretty village Will rise ami call Jim Hustled blessed
Will add that there IL a very fair chance for the
bill, and will tell you the reason why. There are
no less than thirty or forty towns inlthe State most
anxious to become the site OF the new state Prison.
being quite willing to risk the Generalization for
the sake Of the profits. that this will give at least
owners Of Sing Sing say tnat real estate will advance
ut least thirty per cent the moment the bill becomes
law. lnaSnuch AZ the Governors homestead Ii in
the village OF Sing Sing and his venerable father is
resident there, there may be objection aptci-
pated as to the bill being affirmed should 1t pass
both houses.
THE IABoRING CLASSES.
William d. Murphy, Of Albany has introduced a
Dill IN regard to the employees on railroads.. The
difficulty now Is that persons laborng great
yhor0ugfares cannot always get their pay, lii the

pes all railroad corporations to pay of at the end OF

courage and sE OF the mover on the subject or the
laboring classes, we are hopeful that the measure

republicans but differing widely upon this question:
LlttIejohn adneres to the broad popular views OF

the necessaries OF life to the masses. Perhaps II
the word .'sat' left out AIR. Alvord might not
be found In opposition But the Onondaga interests
are too strong on the salt question SO that may

| THE NEW CHATTER AND THE TAX LEVY.
The wise heads are still In council over the mea-
sure for change IN our city government, and they
will not be ready for action for few days. Sweeny
and Tweed Will be here Tonight PROBABLY with some
