ALBANY, April IL, 1870.
Among the bills passed Today was that creating
sbe l25th Street Railroad. This had been passed
before but motion was made that the vote by
which passed should be reconsiderei and this lat
ter motion was laid on the table. To-day II was
called up by Mr.. Bamer, OF Erie, and the motion to
reconsider being voted down by eighty TO twelve,
the passage was confirmed. 1t was amusing to see
the
IRREPREssIBLE IRVING
and the plethoric Fields going for' the members
who would vote "aye," especially If they evinced
any misunderstanding of the result OF their vote
Baldwin, from the Southside Railroad, voted AYE"
and then dropped down ION his hunkers" IN the
passageway, near Frear's desk Irving went for
him, gave him buzz ana reminded him, no doubt
OF the fact that the road which he re.
presents had been granted the free use
OF the tunnel in Atlantic street, Brook
lyn, and q large amount OF other good things, and
he should not "go back" on this measure. Baldwin
changed his vote and so did several others and the
bill passed, as above stated.
Beyond this the only matter in the House to-day
Of Interest to the people OF New York was the
ELECTION OF REGENT or THE UNIVERSITY.

the
TWISTS ON THE NAME
Of the gentleman from the Ne,o Yorker .Sdats Zei-
0-WhoppinduGer, Oats-in-hopper, Ottatotta
and "sch like'-were givensby gents from the inte-
rior Shortly after noon, the respective committees

] for Horace Greeley. Mr. Ottendorrer was de-
Clared duly elected and the Joint session dissolved.
IN THE SENATE
the business was mainly ioca In Its character but
10 Judge by the number OF Brooklyn gents VINO were
crowding the cloak room and library. and worrying
the life out OF Pierce and Murphy, there must be
something very heavy the minds OF the leaders IN
the City OF Churches. The Brooklyn Water Board
matter was tabled to-day, some slight amendments
were made to the bill creating the Fire Department
some few other matters or minor interest were dis
posed OF. These do to satisfy the Brooklyn
boys and the Juvenile Stranahan and few others
are still here haunting the representatives.

nom the tenor OF the talk it will not receive the
Senatorial sanction this session Tall Thomas opened
nre on II and styled 1t an experimental canal under
Broadway. He berated the idea that lea ding capl-
falsts were In favor OF 1t and said that there were
few names among those given as incorporators with
which people were acquainted. OF MI. Smith, the
prime mover and "chinnerr-in-chief,
Mr. Creamer said:-Mr. Smith we all know. and
hope he VIII get kind OF bill passed this
sion, SO that lie may never be obliged to come here
again.
The Arcadian representative OF the Smith family
remained just outside the door, winking to La Bau,
Mr.. Vanderbu's son-in-law, who ls one of this
years incOrporatOrs. Mr Crcamer secuted the
idea OF agreeing with the reports OF the engineers
who had been paid to make reports on the subject
a. represented to them. At this the McA!plne-
who has been deeply interested in the movement as
an engineer and who sat behind Mr.. Creamers
UI2Ce-bugSeu
wrigged his mouth as u to IMPLY that he could
swallow the honorable Thomas, without cream
boots and ALL Mr.. Creamsr stared that ne had been
perimental canaln would cost fully
SIX MILLION DOLLARS A NILE.
and he was sure no capitalist would risk his means
on such an untried and costly arrangement. lie
spoke at some length on the measure, and was fol.
lowed BY Senator Norton, who also spoke IN opposi
ton to the bill, and offered an amendment TO nave
the franchise disposed OF by auction to the highest
bidder lie declared that tho people named as cor.

ana he felt satisfied that least half million could
be obtained by the city for the franchise, and that
oven then million would be paid by the property
owners OH Broadway to induce the buyers not to

Senator Bradley spoke also IN the same strain. and
characterized the persons having charge or the
matter az lot Of paupers, who, instead Of repre-.
yentng fifteen millions OF property along the route

lmendmont to tire effect that the commissioners
notice OF their intention to commence operations,
and should in the notice designate what part OF
street they intended 10 open. He offered another
amendment providing that the company should pay |
all expenses Incurred In the removing and reaving
Of pipes and sewers.
